some quarters is that the situation
abroad must before long result in a
fresh upward movement SO far as
the war scare is concerned, no relief
for the bulls is expected on that ac-
count. Some traders, although hes
itating, are inclined to the bull side
AT the moment though permanent

PLENTY OF MUNITIONS.
Factories Turning Gu. Powder. Shot and
She'll Faster Than Expected.

Washington. May 20.-The navy de
partmcnt is consratulatins itself upon
the fact that the recent experience has
shown that its stock Of ammunition
is not materially depleted by the series
of bombardmcnts at San Juan, Glen
fucgos. Cardenas and other points.
Owing to the great number of shells
thrown. it was thought the supply Of
powder. shot and shell might not prove
equal to any pressing demand made
upon it,
ing powder ana shells, however, not
only kept abreast Of the recent demand
but has far exceeded it and they can
keep up with the demand caused by tn
fast ANA furious fighting for many
days.
1t is said that if 5000 shells were
thrown at CienfucGos, which would ap
pear to make a big hole in the supply
of ammunition this fortunately, is off
sat. however, By the fact that the navy
department is receiving more than
5000 shells per day. Accidents which
have occurred to powder factories az
California and Delaware have not
touched those parts of the factories
engaged in supplying powder for III,
navy.
The only possible fear of short am
munt0n is in the small balls called
chicken feed" When the machine
gums grind out hundreds Of these small
balls against the Notifications. i:
makes rapid inroads upon the stockS
Thus far. however, there has been
ample supply and only prolonged fight
ing could make any serious inroad Oh
the stocks.

We WANT THE CABLE.
desirable that We Should Establish Com
munication With St. Thomas.

Washington, May 20.-The receipts
of recent official dispatches from the
| American ships in the West Indies has
| lust developed that these dispatches
sent from st. Thomas, Danish west
| Indies, were routed by way of the
British cable line and passed over
Spanish territory at Porto Rico.
The Spanish censorship at Porto
Rico is not very rigid and as result
the dispatches got through without
trouble, although it is impossible to
show whether they We're subjected to
Spanish inspection while passing over
their territory.
The particular dispatches thus sent
are understood to have been forwarded
by the dispatch boat Yale, and to have
included Admiral SIMPSONS report on
the Smelling of San Juan.
The information contained in the dis
patches would have been of little ser
vice to the Spanish had they inspected
it in transit. 1t disclosed however.
the urgent need of securing cable con-
nccticns between the authorities and
points in the West Indies.
The French cable line touches at St.
Thomas and reaches the United States
without crossing Spanish territory.
Active steps were taken some time ago
at Copenhagen to secure the use of this
line at St Thomas. but the Danish
government then refused as the
British company is said to have ex-
elusive right of taking messages at
St. Thomas.
Now. however, these efforts are be
ing renewed with some hope of sue
cess, as the requirements Of cable con
ncctions free from Spanish soil are re-
gardcd as urgent.

pines, Will Be Sent.

Washington, May 2O.-Nothing Of
special interest was given out by MEM
bers of the cabinet after today's meet
ing. The Philippine expedition occu-
pied considerable portion of today's
meeting. Gen. Greeley, who is organ
izing a signal service for the Philip
pine expedition, was at the White
House about an hour during the cabi-
net meeting.
Today's discussion as to the Philip
pine expedition bore on what the Uni
ted States troops would encounter
there. Statements are to the troops
which Gen. Merritt's force will have
to cope With were submitted. They
ranged from 5000 to 10000 Spanish sol
dicrs, but the conclusion reached was
that the number could be successfully
counted on as about 10000 men.
The force already selected to go with
Gen. Merritt was believed to be more
than adequate to cope with those

the best condition as to discipline o:
equipment. If the number was found
greater, the administration would send
as many men as would be wanted TO
reinforce these about to start With Gen.
Merritt.
A significant feature Of the session
was the absence of any discussion of
the military and naval movements as
to Cuba or the Spanish fleet. This
was one result Of policy which has
been agreed on between the members
Of the Presidents cabinet ana aside
from Secretaries Alger and Long, very
little is known by the cabinet as to-
what is going on in the sea south OF
us.
This is in line with the administra-
TONS firm policy Of Withholding any
information that might be taken al
vantage Of by the enemy. III view of the
frequent chance conversations of indi-
vidual members in which such news
might be Internationally made known.
