MUCH EXCITEMENT
 IN MINNEAPOLIS
But Banks of the Northwest Are Not Affected by the Action of
 Letter


 MINNEAPOLIS, June 13.-The big break In wheat to-day caused much ex- citement on Change and among the grain men. Letters failure to carry the load which he attempted to handle may have been expected by some, but to the great majority it was surprise. me statement that Northwestern banks would be affected by the action of Letter is not true, at least to any appreciable degree
 C. A. Pillsbury, asked in regard to his opinion of the break, its causes and results, said:
 The cause of the break in wheat to- day was that MT. Letter attempted to carry too heavy load and put the price or wheat too high If he had never att tempted to put the price above $1 40 he would probably have won out great money, as it was legitimately worth that, but when the market did not come up to his expectations he kept in- creaslng his load, and 1 understand there was nearly 1000, 900 bushels sold in Chicago to-day on his account. Of course, offerings of such, an enormous quantity of wheat on the market at one time depressed prices, and it is strange to me that 1t has not depressed them more. And while this is being sacrifled on the market prices will be temporarily as much lower than they leglumately should be as they have been higher than they legitimately should have been. Wheat is worth le- ultimately 25 cents more than it closed at to-day, and in my opinion will be selling at about that much when the liquidation owing to the scare is over. In few days the mills will be as eager for wheat at dollar a bushel and up- ward as they have been apathetic con- corning it at S1 40 and upward"
 President Chamberlain of the Se- curity National Bank said the banks of the Northwest were not put to any in- convenience on account of MT. Letter as he has no dealings with them. The most persistent rumorS connected Messrs. Pillsbury and Peavy of this city with the deal. The latter gentle man. however claimed to be totally ignorant of the cause of the break.
 MT. Letter has some wheat in Minne- apolis and Duluth elevators, which is the only interest the two have in con- mon. Letter is said to own most of the contract wheat in Minneapolis and Duluth in public stocks, and the Letter cash interests will be a feature in cash trading for some time to come. It is true also that Minneapolis will be drawn upon for export wheat from now on, or till the decline is checked

STORY OF MANILA'S FALL
 DUE TO A MISTAKE
Frank Admission of the New York Herald That Its Correspondent
 Was in Error.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Under the caption "A Mistake About Manila" the Herald tomorrow will say: The Her aid printed yesterday dispatch from it's Washington correspondent stating that Ambassador Hay had sent to the State Department information from a British source that Manila had fallen. It is with regret and no little embar- rassment that the Herald is obliged to deny the accuracy of the story. It was received by the Washington corre- spondent at an hour too late to attempt the usual official verification. It came from a source usually trustworthy and reliable.
 The Herald would not knowingly print an untruth, and, having been led into error, makes the correction as speedily as possible

Prop ably one or two brokers will be chosen to represent the interests of the cred itors in the market But these matters Of detail will not be settled before the end of this week. The wheat to be dis posed of will not be handled so as to produce uncertain market conditions. The banks can afford to hold it if neces- sary, and there is nothing in the entire transaction to occasion alarm"

WILD TINE IN THE CoRrES


MADRID, May H. The chamber
flower house, had prolonged sitting
yesterday evening, with q view Of
passing the current political measures
giving the government authority tn
procure funds to continue the war.
Senior Salmeron. the republican
leader, alluded TO the rumors Of
the queen regents abdication
and declared that the republic
ans were ready to form government
forthwith. His remarks evoked q
storm Of protests, and Senior Salmeron
was unable to proceed for fully ten
minutes. Monarchists and republic
ans shrieked at each other and banded
threats. The presidents voice was
completely drowned.
The government intends to insist
that the cortes sit continuously until
the war measures are adopted. The
minister Of finance, Senior PUG
cerver, declares that until the cred
its are voted it is impossible to
meet the demand for ammuni-
ton and provisions for Cuba,
Porto Rico, the Balearic islands and
the Canary islands, or TO obtain the
necessary stocks Of coal. Capt.
Gen. Blanco has cabled an urgent
request for considerable supplies Of
provisions which the government can
not dispatch until the cortes has voted
the war measures.

men demanded to know if their officers
were going. This the recruiting Off
Ger declined to answer, and the men
refused to take the oath and marched
back to their quarters. Then it came
out that a number Of the commits
stoned officers had been rejected, and
the stand taken by the Grand Island
boys was loudly applauded. They are
still at their quarters and refuse to
answer the call from the recruiting
officer In this they are supported by
their own officers.
