have attracted from other European

about to start from our shores for
Cuba has it neglected to use all the
means permitted by law to prevent
the vessel from starting. 1t has been

that they had reason to believe that

PROBLEM TOO BIG FOR HER
Hannis Taylor, for Last Four Years
American Minister to Spain, Has
Prepared an Elaborate Communi-

Reply to Woodford's Note.

New York, Oct. 26.-Hannis Tay-
lor, for the last four years American
minister to Spain and who has just
returned from Madrid, Is about to
address an elaborate communication to
the people of the United States on the
Cuban question. He has reached the
conviction that Spanish statesman
ship is impotent to solve this problem
and he feels it his duty to lay before
his countrymen his testimony on the
whole subject in the hope that it may
aid them in taking a wise and just
action. In the communication, which
will be published in the North Amer
Review he reviews the matter
every standpoint, basing his
statements on the Spanish govern
ment. In summing up the situation
he suggests a plan whereby the
United States may speedily bring the
Cuban war to an end.

ALMOST 4 PANIC IN STOCKS.
Fear Of Trouble with Spain Causes
Big Fall in Prices.

New York, Oct. 26.-The fear of A
rupture between Spain and the United
States caused a big fall in prices on
the stock exchange Monday. The fall
reached sensational proportions dur
ing the first two hours of trading. The
course of things was foreshadowed by
early adyices from London showing
sharp declines for American securities
on the London exchange. There is
apparently a strong conviction in on
den. reflected in the press and more
forcibly by the stock market, that re-
lations between the United States and
Spain are in imminent danger of a
rupture over the Cuban question.
Spanish As fell Il to 597s on the Lon
don exchange. At the opening of the
stock market here there was a rush
to liquidate all around the room, the
struggle at some of the posts show
ing fierce contests among brokers to
be the first to unload their holdings.
Soon after the opening the level OF
the whole market had fallen fully a
point below Saturdays close, practic-
ally every active stock in the list
showing declines OF from n to two
points. The announcement that the
government had determined to apply
for a postponment of Union Pacific
and Kansas Pacific foreclosure sales
until Dec. 10 gives definite basis for
the numerous rumors of the forma-
tion of an opposition syndicate to bid
at the sale. The success of such q
syndicate would mean the failure OF
the reorganization plan on which the
active speculation of the Union Pacific
has been based. Enormous blocks of
this stock We're thrown upon the
market and the price was carried down
A, points before it steadied. Large
blocks of sugar stock were also thrown
over. New York Central suffered
