With Few Exceptions Yesterdays Stock
Market Was Very Strong.
New York, May 1.-THE presidents
message calling for an appropriation to
relieve destitute American citizens in
Cuba, proved far less hostile In tone.
towards Spain than the dealers in Sc
curities had apparently persuaded
themselves that it would and the mar
ket strengthened upon it's publication,
recovering some part of the loss that
ensued upon early intimations that the
message was Forthcoming and that its
tone towards Spain would be extremely
provocative.
With the exception of few weak
spots in the market due to causes pc
culiar to the stocks affected, the mar
ket was strong all around to-day and
even the intimations from Washington
that early action In the senate on Gu
ban belligereney was probable did not
weaken the tone of the speculation. The
traders have apparently persuaded
themselves that there is much less dam
age by Cuban affairs than they have
felt in the previous agitation of the sub
ject. Dealings continue almost wholly
professional and exceedingly restricted
in volume and the movements Of prices
reflected little more than bear room
manouyering for short turns and no
very definite opinion on general condi-
TONS
The renewed uneasiness apparent on
the London market over the turbulent
attitude of Turkey towards the powers
was reflected here to some extent at
the opening, but the weakness was
overcome early in the session. The
prospects of large grain crops which
had the effect Of weakening the wheat
market, tended the other way in the
market for railway shares, the grang-
ers especially being in excellent demand
notwithstanding the rumors of rate cut
| ting by western roads.
| One-third of the total transactions
were in Sugar and Chicago Gas. Sugar
was weak early, but scored a net gain
OF fraction on the day. Tobacco was
weak on the Illinois decision Of the
| legality of the company. The improve
| ments in the grangers ranged from *
| to rs, the latter Rock Island. Early
| strength in the coalers amounted to a
rise of IL in New Jersey Central and
was followed by heaviness and the
gains were more than wiped out.
| General Electric seems to have been
caught without support by the bears.
The Gould shares advanced on cover
| ing early, but developed weakness later
in the day. Fractional gains were very
| general throughout the list. London
sold some stocks on arbitrage early
but later became buyer and bought TO-
| 900 shares.
The bond market displayed little fea-
ture, but prices were well held and a
| firm undertone was apparent. Fluctu.
| ations were unusually narrow and but
little attention was paid to any of them

The situation In Cuba.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 13.-An i'm.
portant Cuban letter, graphically depicting
the situation on. the island, has been re-
ceived in this city. The letter came to
Paul Roio, who is well known as being
prominent in Cuban circles, but the name
of the author, further than that he is a Gu.
ban occupying a high position in Havana,
is withheld for reasons that are apparent.
1t may be stated, however that the letter
is of a semiofiicial nature, and it is impor-
tant for that reason. 1t says:
"After dreams of peace through the re-
forms the terrible reality has come, because
it has been found from different sources
that President Cisneros and General Go
mez are thoroughly opposed to coming to
any agreement that is not based upon the
independence of Cuba.
Naturally, for myself and for all those
people who have something to lose things
look very gloomy, as the only hope for us
now is Intervention of the United States.
which would come like a blessing from
God. If this shall not be done, then
think, and / already hear somo talk that
the three parties on the island-the auton-
omist, Conservative and reformists-will
come together and decide the future of the
country, because the soldiers will never
basis of ambition
Il do not think that it will be long be-
fore the evacuation of Cuba by the Span
ish troops will become reality The rea
son that 1 think this is that General Wey-
Ter has destroyed everything in his path
through the provinces of Matanzas and
Havana, and now he is finishing what he
left in Las Villas district. If the parties
shall not come together and take energetic
measures TO settle the struggle, then only
God can save Cuba.
Every day in Havana we hear the shots
that tell of executions, and we have com,
TO lose our pity. If this terrible war shal
continue, Cuba will not only be material
" ruined, but morally as we'll. / thinl
that the people will lose all Of their natu
raj feelings and that everybody will be
come Indifferent to cruelty"

Liiiiuokaianrs Press Agent Declares She
l. sim De Jrrs Queen of Hawaii.

Liiiiuokaianfs Press Agent Declares She
i SIN De Jrro Queen of Hawaii.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Julius A. Palm
er, the representative of ex-Queen Liliuo.
kaiani of Hawaii, in a card to The Stai
declares that tho act OF abdicaton of the
ex-queen was procured under duress and
IS void for this reason and because of legal
informalities He says that the queen OF
Hawaii has never given a legal abdication
and Is still the lawful ruler, even If she
forbears to enforce her Legitimate rights.
1t is believed that Liliuokalani inspired
the card. At the Hawaiian legation it was
read with interest, but without concern
ard is regarded simply as an expression
from a royaiist standpoint of an eyentfu
episode in Hawaiian history, but as not al
all likely to have any practical influence.
Mr.. Palmers card was called forth, as
he explains by the publication in The
star recently Of the queens abdication
He refers to that document as 81 a briei
drawn by Hon. A. ;. Hartwell, chief coun
sci for the corporation of sugar planter,
and lawyers now posing as the Hawaiian
republic, having no legal force whatever
void when written and which could moi
be sustained in any court of equity in any
civilized land +"
bly, confined in the lolani palace and, be
ing told that those she loved, her persona
friends, wers awaiting execution, signed
the act Of abdication as the only means tC
save them. "The ringof adventures knew
their victim" says Mr.. Palmer. "Hat
they proposed her immediate death they
could not have terrified her, but 10 saw,
those she loved she executed the docu
ment. "
He further says that not only was tn,
queens signature obtained under duress
but that it was worthless for another
reason--it was not her legal signature
Her prosecutors overreached themselves
he says, and out Of excess of caution re
quired her TO sign as "Liliuokalani Dom
inis, which was not her legal signature
Legally there is not and never was such &
person. The document should have beer
signed "Liliuokalani Regina"
Mr.. Palmer, who refused to admit that
he speaks for Queen Liliuokalani by di.
rection, closes his card by this statement
perhaps significant Of future intentions:
NO question is ever settled until It il
settled right, and that the whole Hawaiian
matter should be properly reviewed is the
opinion Of a great many of the people ol
the United States
