The ST. Louis Globe-Democrat has this
from Havana: "The powerful arm of the
United States is being felt every day in
Spain. Notwithstanding the Spanish
threats OF war, they are doing all possible
to prevent hostilities between the two
countries. Ona Melton said some time
ago in an interview at Cabanas fortress:
When they make decided demand for
my liberty will be released. have it
upon the most reliable authority that Can
ovas, anticipating Mr.. Woodward's mis-
sion to Spain, upon his arrival in that
country will present him with an order for
the release Of the Americans captured on
the Competitor. Canovas will not wait
for Mr.. Mckinley to act When the
news first reached Spain in regard to
the action of Congress in demanding the
release Of the men, Canovas wired to the
judge advocate here to nolle pros the
case. The judge fatty refused to comply
with the order. A second cable was sent
telling him that unless he complied with
the request he would be arrested for in
subordination. 1t is expected that with
in another week Melton and his compan-
ions, broken in health and spirits, will

he said: I'VE are not standing at the

years. If the church had attended to her
business there would be no need of the
Salvation army. Shall not God avense
His own elect speedily? Shall there not
be day Of reckoning?" "God help them,
God have mercy on them" moaned the
congregation, appalled, by the fate which
they conceived to await those who are
careless of their responsibility. Then fol
lowed one of the most remarkable revival
services of the season. Stirred to the
depths Of their feeling by the sermon to
which they had listened and the sentl-

plauded, the assembled hundreds advanc-

mercy Of their God upon their fellow-men
and praying that any among them who
were unconverted might see the light.

DEATH AT THE CROSSING.

Wagon and Occupants Thrown Down
Embankment by Train.
Two children killed and six persons In
jured, several probably fatally, is the rec
ord of an accident on the New York, On
tario and Western Railroad just north OF
Rockland, Sullivan County, N. Y. A
combined observation car and locomotive,
bearing B. Garfield, the general superin-
tendent, and Charles HI. Hopkins, super
intendent of the southern division of the
road, struck a wagon containing John
Maulick and his wife and six children.
The accident occurred at the Hollywood
highway crossing. The wagon and occu-
pants were hurled forty feet down an en-
bankment into the rocky bed Of the Will
lowsmoe river. One Of the children was
instantly killed, another died soon after
the accident, and other members of the
family are not expected to survive.

BIG GAME OF BULLS.
In Two Months They Melted p Profit
of $6OO,O 900.

Two vi OnCnS Iney ASSCtCu "a 4 W.
of 5000. 900.
Narratives of fabulous wealth taken
from Klondyke soil are eclipsed by stories
of recent nlanipulations in the July wheat
market. For two months bull clique OF
New York, st. Louis and Chicago brokers
has been playing a fast and loose game
with the wheat shorts, demanding tribute
and creating fallacious hopes. George IL.
French, brilliant young SPECTATOR, VINO
was sent to Chicago from New York I"
guard the earthworks of the clique, at
firms unhesitatingly the current state
ments that his hackers have divided not
less than 100000 net profit during the
last month. Thus it follows that the tacit
impression on Change that July wheat
was being manipulated is bolstered up by
facts. Joseph Letter, the Chicago dark
horse, is one of the men who have peck
eted part of the big rake Off" Accord
ing to Mr.. French the combine with which
he figures controlled not less than 4,ooO,-
900 bushels of July wheat. An effort was
made by certain Chicago commission
merchants in June to run tight corner
in the wheat market at that time when
the visible supply revealed only 4,OOO,OoO
bushels available wheat. The same firms
identified with this attempt, which did not
succeed, transferred their holdings to Sep
TENDER. The final day for fulfilling July
wheat contracts for delivery saw the
Gotham shorts desperately scrambling for
the clique's offerings, pushing the price
up cents within two hours and shower
ing $500, 900 worth of coin into the Golfers
of the bull combine. The manipulators
again put their heads together, snatched
100000 bushels of wheat at ebb-tide
price and in three days sold out the line
at profit Of 100000.
