of reaction in wheat. the general tendency

sharp rallies occurred. The short inter-

eliminated during the early part Of the

KEEP UP THE IMPRESSION
Spain Still Making Believe She
Is Trying for Peace.
THE INDICATIONS ARE OPPOSITE
Believed War Will Continue Until Mnniln
Falls and Porto Rico 10
Invaded.

LONDON, July 27.-The Madrid CORE.
spoudent Of The Standard says: There
is still an endeavor to keep alive the
impression that something is going on
behind the scenes in the direction of
peace, but tho private indications are
that the war will continue until the
fall of Manila and the invasion of
Porto Rico. Peace is impossible until
there is more unanimity in Spain with
regard to the necessary sacrifices of
territory. The ministers, having ar.
rived at an understanding, will await
the march of events. A cabinet crisis
has been averted for the time being.
Those who succeed the present cabinet
will certainly be obliged ere long to
ask the country to submit to terms re.
pugnant to the national pride. The
indecision of the cabinet is contrasted
by the loyalty of Marshal Polavieja,
who declines to become the instrument
Of politicians in helping to construct q

END II FIGHT.

Settlement Of h Pacific Rate War
Seems to Have Been Reached.
CHICAGO, July S7.-A settlement of
the Canadian Pacific rate war seems
to have been reached at length. Presi.
dents Hill of the Great Northern and
Vanhorne of the Canadian Pacific met
at St. Paul last week to discuss the
preliminaries for ending the fight. The
Canadian Pacific is understood to have
expressed its willingness to give up its
d~ifferentials on Pacific coast business
provided certain other concessions con.
corning business to the Kootenia coun.
try were granted.
There is little donbt that the Amer.
lean lines will do their utmost to bring
about a settlement Of the rate wal.
The decision Of the interstate com.
merce commission to investigate the
whole question at Chicago next Mon.
day is believed to be largely responsi.

A PlTIFUL APPEAL.
Starving People of Cienfuegos
Send an Address to Ad.
miral Sampson.
All the Provisions in the Town
Are in the Possession of
the Spaniards.
THE SITUATION IS TERRIBLE
Five Thousand Men, Women
and Children Dying There
of Hunger.
Nothing Can Be Done to Help
Them Until the Place Is
Captured.

GUANTANAMO BAY. July N.-The
following pitiful appeal has been ad.
dressed by tho starving people OF Cien'
fuegos to Rear Admiral Sampson:
"Tho Cubans, old men, women and
children, resident in tho town of Glen.
fuegos and this neighborhood, arc all
dying of hunger. Young men are all
in the field with the Cuban troops and
have no shoes nor food.
"All tho provisions in this town are
in the hands of Spaniards. Cubans
cannot obtain a piece of bread, as it is
necessary to send everything to the
field. The Weyler system is in his
way. The situation is terrible.
"If you, honorable sir, do not come
quick with your squadron in our help
and take possession of this town we
shall be lost. We beg you to precipi.
tate your operation. About 5000 old
men, women and children shall die of
hunger in this town. Some of these
old mon have four Or five sons fighting
for his freedom. This is our situation,
horrible situation. If the great people
of tho United States do not come quick
in our help we are lost. For Gods
sake come quick"
Nothing can be done for the people
of Cienfuegos until that place is cap.
tured. This will not be for some time.

Samuel Dunno of Montana Has Myste.
riously Lost Large sums of Money.
CHICAGO, July 27.-Samuel Dunno,
a cattle dealer from Miles City, Mon,
came into the Harrison street police
station and asked to be sent home as
he was without money to buy his
ticket. Dunno first came to Chicago
July 10, and was robbed of four pack.
ages of bills. each containing $500. re
told the police he was on his way to
she Polk street station, preparatory to
making a trip to Canada when q woman
called him into a doorway an9
robbed him of the packages. Imme.
diately after reporting the loss Of
che $4,000, Dunno went out again
and lost SAL in the same manner. The
next day he did not appear at the po.
lice station and was not seen by officers
until Monday. He went to Canada
from Chicago, and there lost his trunk.
and has not been able to recover it.
When he came back to Chicago on his
way home to Montana he had 500, and
in an unexplained he parted
company with that. The police fear
Dunno is temporarily unbalanced men.

HURRY ORDERS GWEN.
Too Much Delay in Getting Commodore
Watson's Squadron Ready.

Too Much Delay in Getting Commodore
Watson's Squadron Ready.
WASHINGTON, July 2o.-The plans
for sending Commodore Watson's
eastern squadron to Spain, have
reached q point where naval officers
are considering the exact day Of de-.
parture, and it is said that positive or.
aers have been given that preparations
must be brought to q close at once
with a view of having everything in
readiness by the end Of this week.
Two of the Golfers who are to accom-.
pany this expedition are ut Norfolk for
the purpose Of putting light batteries
on them. The officers in charge Of the
work estimate that it will take two
weeks more to get these batteries to.
zether and have them mounted. This
meant delay and an order has been
given that the work be completed this
week, or that the golfers go without
their light batteries. The same view
is taken regarding the condition of the
ships. The feet officers would like to
have the ships bottoms scrape , and
considerable overhauling don But
this means delay, and cleani. g and
repairing will be lone as we'll as pos.
sible by the men on the ships, SO that
everything will be ready the end of the
week or soon thereafter.

CARLlSl RISING FEARED
Secretly Storing.Arms in From
tier Towns of France.
ARE AWAITING TEE SIGNAL
Stringent Order That Nothing. Muat BE
Attempted Until Don Carlos
Gives tho Command.

LONDON, July 20. The Madrid cor.
respondent OF lie Daily Mail says: It
is we'll known here that for some time
past the Carlists have been secretly
placing stores, arms and ANN unition
in many of the smaller towns along
the French side of the frontier. When
the signal fo: a Carlist rising is given
the taking Of these supplies and mu.
nitions of war across the 'front.' er will
occupy at the most a single night, as
the men are ready and know where
they must go to receive equipments.
The Basque provinces seem very
quiet, but this is explained by the fact
that the orders of Don Carlos are most
stringent in the sense that nothing
must be attempted until he gives the
signal, when the rising is to be general.

About Five Hundred New
Cases of Fever.
This Number Includes All
Classes-Four Hundred

Of A NOTABLY MILD TYPE
Patients Ill From Three Days
to a Week and Then as
Well as Ever.
Disease Renders the Men I'm
munes to Yellow Fever
for a While.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-In a dispatch
to the war department General Shafter
reports that about 500 new cases of
fever developed in his corps at Sam
tiago the previous day. This number
includes, of course, all classes of fevers,
probably some cases of genuine yellow
fever. Only n death is reported, that
one being from yellow fever. The
cheering intelligence is conveyed that
the situation is improving and that
about 400 men who have been ill have
returned to duty.
AS heretofore indicated by General
Shafter and the medical officers of his
corps, the cases of fever are of n not.
ably mild type. The patients are i'll
from three days to a week and then re.
turn to duty quite as we'll as ever. The
medical officers concur in the opinion
that this fever
