CadiZ Fleet Has Not Sailed.
Special Di.,,str,. tc THr EuN

GIBRALTRA, June 7.-Spain's reserve
squadron has not yet left Cadiz and may
not get away for some time to come.
Fears of revolt in the southern pro-
vinces, it is said, is the reason for the
detention Of the fleet.
There is widespread destitution among
the masses Of the people and the dis
tress is becoming more acute every day.
1t is thought trouble will occur with
news of decisive defeat for Spain.

Commerce and Finance.

Demand for -four was of a hand-to-
mouth character, and prices were weak
and unsettled in sympathy with the de-
preston in wheat. Spot bran was in
small supply and steady, but demand
was slow. Hay was easier under a linn
tied inquiry anl fair offerings. Straw
was quiet and unchanged. Refined
sugars were firm and in good request.
Provisions sold moderately in jobbing
way on basis Of quotations. Wheat
was weak and nonlina|ly quoted at 81 .0s
for cash and June No. 2 red. Speculation
was bearish in all domestic grain centres,
due to a further sharp decline in Liver
pool cables, fine prospects for the grow
ing crop, and lack Of support from ex-
polters. Corn options were inactive,
but the call closed about the same as last
evenings rates. Gables showed a de.
cline, and export demand was light
Local car lots were quiet and steady
| Oats in car lots were easier, under fleel
offerings and slow inquiry. Cotton was

THAT general order governing news
paper correspondents who accompany
the army and which places them under
military regulations, issued by the war
department, will virtually have the effect
OF mllzzling the entire press of the coun-
try, so far as news is concerned There
can be no reasonable objection to the
exercise of proper censorship in time Of
hostilities, but to subject correspondents
at all times to whatever restrictions the
commanding officer may see fit to i'm
pose, with penalties provided for dis
obedience, and this independent of the
regular censorial supervision, seems
somewhat arbitrary. Under these con-
ditions no correspondent will dare to tell
an unpleasant truth even when the CEN
sor shall permit him to do SO. Evidently
our generals are to be exempt from criti-
cism in this campaign.

men at various stages in their life prefer
their wives 10 be. Young men of lS and
10 years 10 seems, generally select wives
of their own age, but with increasing
years comes wisdom, and at 90 a man pre-
fers woman of from 2l 20 "a years. This
indeed seems to be "a very desirable age for
an unmarried woman, for II remains the
favorite for the man in search of wife
until he has passed his twenty ninth year.
At 80 he likes best the women who are
anywhere from five years to one year
younger than himself, and he is constant
in this preference up 10 his forticth year.
Then he is willing that she shall be as
much as ten years younger than himself,
but will not hayo her If she be his equal in
years, an opinion which he holds for half a
decade. A. from ~ 10 30 ho looks for less
disparity, prcferring women from 40 TO 80,

choice Thereafter he prefers woman ten
