New York, Nov. 5.-The Evening POSTS
London financial cablegram says: THE
stock markets We're idle, but steady to-
day, except Americans. which were fiat
and demoralized at the opening. News
came In Of a firm note from Spain to
Washington. etc Consequently there was

large part of the selling was the belief
that the relations between the
United States and Spain were
drifting towards an open Tup-

| increase in the artillery force of the United
states army as necessary for the adequate
protection Of New York, and the proper
operation Of its harbor defenses.
The published expressions from the late
United States minister to Spain, disclos-
ing the character of the diplomatic rela-
tons between the two countries in Cuban
affairs intensified the sentiment of appre-
