New York, March 26-The Wall
street warriors are still inclined to
light values. The political situation
continues to be the foremost influence
in speculation, and it was alleged that
a recent turn in the affairs of the far
east would serve to temporarily dis
turb financial markets, as soon as the
Cuban difficulty will have been AMIGA
bly, adjusted. At present, however,
nothing can develop sufficiently infu-
entail to offset the existing differences
between the United States and Spain,
which it is believed have now reached
critical point. Washington dispatch
es intimated that the eliminating point
had been reached in the PRONUNCIATION
of the Maine board of inquiry report,
but the greatest factor to be looked for
between the close tonight and the
opening Monday, is the result of the
Spanish elections. Sagasta wants
peace, and If his cabinet be upheld, i'm
mediate fears Of hostilities between
this country and Spain will be remov-
ed The whole situation can be sum-
med up in a few words, if Mckinley is
given free hand, there will be no war,
if Congress breaks away there will be
trouble. London is easier to-day, and
the local market opened lower in SYM
pathy Traders began to resume yes
terday's tactics, but their hammering
of prices met with considerable resist
ance, and shorts became alarmed. AS
a result of substantial covering

TENSION GROWS GREATER.
Situation in Havana Still Hope Diplomacy
Will Avert War-Gomez Still Fighting.

HAVANA, via Key West Fla, March
R6.-The tension here is greater than it
was week ago.
There are murmurirgs in the low cafes
and some times rather black looks for the
'Americanos'' on the streets.
Many believe that diplomacy or arbi
tration will avert war even now.
Meantime, General Gomez and the in
surgent chiefs and their followers are
evidently prepared to continue fighting
for years to come if necessary.
General Gomez has written letter to
the junta in New York, reiterating his
purpose to accept nothing but the CON
ditions of the Monte Cristo declaration.
He says he~ts, willing, however, to pay
Spai- 10000 purchase money, il need
fs3eis also anxious that the Spanish
Soldiers who remain here should help to
rebuild up Cuba's commercial greatness.
General Gomez says he has nearer $1,000
than $4,000 men under arms and is gain
ing recruits daily.
Fighting has resumed with vigor in the
province of Puerto Principe since the
failure to induce the insurgents to accept
or even listen to the ridiculous offers Of
the autonomists.'

TWO SMALL FIRES.

Two small fires occurred in the
Eighth ward yesterday morning. At
William McElroy's drug store a can
of b ] zine was setting near the stove,
and ignited. The flames burst out,
and for a few minutes it looked as if
a serious fire would result. By prompt
action, however, the blaze was eXtin-
guished before il had chance to
spread. The partition between the
back and front rooms was burned and
scorched and some medicine on the
shelves Of the partition destroyed. A
short time afterwards a small blaze
from a defective fiue at Danenberger's
meat shop, On Eoff street, stirred
little excitement. The Eighth ward
company was called out to both fires,
but was not needed.
