Spanish bonds were more weak than
ever yesterday. They went down to AZ.
The plight of the holders of these securi-
ties is something frightful TO think about.
They have had in mind a magnificent
coup by which millions and hundreds of
millions were to be realized. The par
ticulars have been told so frequently in
The Times that they need not be men
toned here. At any rate. the scheme
has every appearance now of failure. Mr.
Hanna has not been able to prevent the
war as yet and it looks now almost i'm
possible that he can be successful. III
war comes it will mean almost the utter
ruin OF Spain. Bankruptcy and the wip-
ing out of the bonds will be the result
plainly speaking. The fat syndicate that
has been speculating in nations honor
finds that there is really limit yet be-
yond which money cannot purchase. The
syndicate got its bonds at 60 and already
has seen one-third of its purchase wiped
out This has been in months, however;
the other two-thirds will disappear in
minutes.

ATTACK UPON A SHASTA
 COUNTY STAGE DRIVER.
Badly Wounded in Fight With a Stranger Upon the Top of His
 Coach

BEDDING, May 1O.-"Billy'' Conery, a driver on the Bedding and Bieber stage line, drove into town this morning with his face powder burned and bleeding and with a, most extraordinary story to tell in explanation. In front of the Corbin farmhouse on Churn Creek. about three miles east of this city. Conery heard a noise behind him, as though some one were crawling on top of the stage. The made by "a passenger and paid no atten- ton to it at first
 The noise recurring caused Conery to turn his head, and as he did so he was al- most blinded by the flash of a revolver. Two more shots followed in rapid suc- cession. Conery fought back. with the butt end of his whip. His unknown as- sailant dropped off the rear boot of the stage into the bed of Churn Creek and disappeared.
 One. shot knocked out two of Conery' S teeth and tore into the roof of his mouth. The ball dropped down and was spat out by the injured man. The second ball cut cheek. He was badly powder burned
 There is an air of mystery about the matter that is puzZling to the officers. Conery is a man of family.

volley. The Duke and Duchess were not hurt, but a dozen of the rioters fell. The ducal party returned here at a gallop.
 BERNIE, Switzerland, May 10.-The news of the uprising in Milan has greatly excited the Italian workmen who abound in Switzerland. At Lau- same this moring 1000 Italian work men paraded the streets, carrying red flag draped with crepe. As the process sion passed through the streets the men sang the "Marseillaise" and cheered for the revolution. The outbreak at Milan appears to have been fully organized. One of the leaders here exhibited a telegram announcing:
 ''The revolution is triumphant in Turin. The city has been turned"
 The men who took part iii the demon- stration appear to have plenty of money. Many Italians have started for the north of Italy in response to a cir cular bearing the words:
 ITO the frontier. Let us start for Italy"
 Advices received from Milan to-day give details of the arrest of 200 rioters in monastery there. It appears that the students from Pavia who joined in the disturbance entrenched themselves in the monastery, and while a detach- ment of troops was passing fired upon them. The military authorities sent two field guns to the scene, opened fire on the monastery, made a breach in it's walls and entered the building, but the students escaped. All the monks were arrested and they will be inn prisoned previous to being distributed among the other monasteries of the order. For the present the monks will be held at the disposal of the military authorities.

SENSATIONAL BREAK
 IN WHEAT PRICES.
Rapid Fall on the Chicago Board of Trade, Followed by Quick
 Recovery.

CHICAGO May 10-The feature of to- days wheat market was the sensational break and recovery in July. New hlgh price records were made in both the May and July. at $1 85 and $1 9 respectively, but it was the break that caused the ex- citement. It was an excited, uncertain market. with price quotations a cent apart for the same delivery in. various parts of the pit for nearly an hour atter the opening.
 Selling was more conspicuous than the bl1ving. the conditions of the previous day beine reversed. From $1 9 July worked hack to s1 Is, from which point "enulne manic carried prices down l and cents at clip to $1 05 Purchases Of wheat were made at this price, although Sl Uo was the low price generally quoted. ne ton price for May wheat was made on the purchase of 2, 900 bushels, sald 10 repre- sent part of the Lindblom business Whlch had not been transferred. The move nents of May and July were not closely allied May never sold below the opening figure. S1 73, and closed at the top price, s1 85. The offerings of the July break were from all directions, and Letter prokers were said to be bidding for September at the time the July break started. At $l Ob, which was the price of calls, the market turned and worked back to close at $1 i4
 There were no failures to clear III the morning, although the acton or Lelser Wae no 1t, doubt responsible for the prevention of at least one failure. Letter reported sales of 150. coo bushels abroad in small lots
 ST. LOUIS, Nav 10.-July wheat broke l4 cents a bushel about an hour before the close of the regular market to-day; IL was the biggest drop in the price or wheat that has occurred since Civil War tmes
 One of the widest scenes ever witnessed on the floor of the exchange resulted Ine decline represented tremendous losses to many of the traders, and they became panic stricken. From $l 141a the price dropped to $1 001A. May, September and December followed July wheat in its de- cline. There was little trading in each of these options, and their decline was not
 Just before the close of the session a reaction set in and July slowly rose to S1 06, the final figure for the day May showed no change from yesterday, while July was 51bc, September 434c and Decem- Der 112c lower than yesterday.

The Citizens Home Guard and Company c of the Arizona militia were immediately notified The streets were patrolled all night, and guards were stationed on the surrounding hilltops to give warning of the approach of the Indians. No disturbance Occurred during the night, but sharp lookout will be kept to-day and tonight Another company of the Home Guards will patrol the streets to prevent surprise similar to the Yaqui outbreak which occurred a few nights ago. =

PreparatiOnS for the Relief of Admiral Dewey at
 Manila.
The Charleston to Leave Before the End of the Present
 Week.

supplies and ammunition for the expe- dition.
 Secretary Long has also given the crew and passenger space Of the City of Picking, chartered by the Navy De- partment for troops. This vessel will carry as freight supplies for the navy and repair material for ships. The plan of fitting her up as a machine shop has been abandoned, as Admiral Dewey's dispatches indicate that 1t would not be necessary.
 These three vessels can easily carry the entire military force of something over 5000 men, which will be sent out together with the field guns and horses for the cavalry and artillery. There will be no unnecessary delay in getting them started, and they will steam as fast as possible all the way across, but it is probable that it will be more than a month from the present time before they are in Manila Bay ready to eff feet landing under cover of Admiral Dewey's guns.
 The commander of the Charleston will make arrangements at Honolulu to have coal and fresh provisions ready for the troops when they arrive at that port, so that there need be little de- lay there.
 The troops, which are to be command ed by Majo General Merriam, are now being concentrated at San Francisco, and Commissary- General Eagan has given orders for 100000 rations which will be ready for shipment at San Francisco within the next three days.
 Should subsequent dispatches from Admiral Dewey indicate the necessity of sending more than 5000 men to Ma nila additional troop ships will be chartered at once and they will be sent after the first detachment as soon as possible.
 What the admiral needs most of all at this time, however, is ammunition, and it is for this reason that the Charleston is to be sent ahead of troop ships There is no uneasiness on the part of the authorities as to Admiral Dewey's ability to hold his position in the harbor of Manila indefinitely with his present force, but it is realized that if he should have to undertake any operations for the protection of the city against either the natives or the Spaniards he would need more ammu- milton.
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-11

NEW YORK, May 1o.-The Herald's Washington correspondent telegraphs: Relief and endorsements are to be sent to Admiral Dewey as fast as steam can carry them.
 AS Spain has no more naval vessels in the place it has been decided that it will not be necessary to escort the transports and supply vessels with a naval vessel, and accordingly the cruiser Charleston is to be dispatched at once, leaving the other vessels with troops and supplies to follow as soon as they can be made ready.
 The Charleston, in addition to carry ing a full supply of ammunition for her own guns, will carry large quan- tity in boxes for the ships of Admiral Dewey's squadron now in Manila Bay. She will also carry full complement of men for her own crew and large number of blue jackets and marines to fill out the crews on the other vessels. With the men she will take out Admiral Dewey will probably be able in an emergency to land over 1500 men, though 1t is not expected that he will attempt any land operations before the arrival of troops, unless 1t should be absolutely necessary.
 It is the intention of the Navy De- partment to get the Charleston to sea before the end of the present week, and she will steam as rapidly as possible all the way across. She Is to stop at Honolulu for coal and if she should average twelve knots an hour all the way across and allow two full days for coaling she ought to arrive at Manila Bay in twenty-six days after leaving San Francisco. She may be able to make better time than this.
 The military and supply expedition will not be able to get away so quick ly as the Charleston.
 Secretary Alger to-day chartered the steamer Australia of the Oceanic line at a cost of 900 per month, and the steamer City of Sydney of the Pacific Mail line at a cost of 5000 a day. These vessels are to be used as trans ports, carrying in their freight space

TRAGIC DEATH OF
 CHARLES I. HAVEMEYER.
Although He Shot Himself Coro- ner's Jury Returned Doubt
 fTl Verdict.

NEW YORK, May 10.-Charles F. Have meyer, son of the late Theodore Have meyer, committed suicide last night at his home in Roslyn, L. I. He shot him self through the brain. Mir Havemeyer was 35 years of age and leaves a widow and two children. No motive for the suicidal act is known.
 Havemeyer had been to New York dur ing the day and had seen several friends. Shortly before the shooting he had been playing with his boy. apparently in his usual good spirits. There has been noth- ing in his manner that would lead to a suspicion that his act was premeditated.
 The Coroner's jury rendered veruIct that Havemeyer came to his death by the discharge of pistol in his own hands. and that there was no evidence to show that 1t was not accidental.
