sCHLEY's OFFICIAL REPORT.
gardIng First Bombardment at santI-
AgO-AccOmplIshed His Purpose.

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The navy de-
partment has received an official re-
port from Commodore Schley regard
ing his recent attack on the forts at
the entrance of Santiago harbor. 1t
was read at to-day's cabinet meeting

enemy's position, to locate batteries,
etc. In that respect 1t was, he says,
entirely successful and he accom-

of his vessels was touched by the
enemy's volleys and there were no
casualties or mishaps ON his vessels.
He says, in addition, that he has no
reasonable doubt that Cervera's feet

extreme than before. No comments

HUTCHINSON, Kan, June 4.-The
mystery of the Boyd murder is now
practically cleared away. The confess
sion of Mrs. Nellie Postlethwaite that
she alone and unaided committed the
crime was summarily disproven by a
later confession of her oldest son,
Harry, that he did it. He also added
the sensational testimony that he had
been urged to the murder by I. G.
Clark, q lawyer.

HOW IT WAS DONE.
mac by Lieut.. HObsOn and His Crew
of Brave Followers,

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 6. Rear
Admiral Sampson, during Friday morn
ing, decided to close the narrow harbor
entrance to Santiago de Cuba by sink
ing the collier Merrimac, loaded with
coal, in the channel. He called for
volunteers to go to almost certain
death and 1000 men offered them
selves, Lieut.. Hobson and six men
were chosen and at three o'clock
Friday morning the Merrimac, under
her own steam, entered the channel
under a terrible Spanish fire. The
vessel was riddled with projectiles,
but she anchored and swung around.
Lieut. Hobson then set off an internal
torpedo with an electric attachment,
there was an explosion, the Merrimac
sunk and the channel was closed and,
apparently, Admiral Cervera will be
unable to escape.

An Immense Flag for Moro Castle.

New YORK, June 4.-The stars and
stripes in the shape of the largest flag
in the world will float over Moro
castle, Havana, when Blanco surren-
ders. The immense flag designed for
this duty is already prepared and may
be seen draped at the front of an
empty store room at 147 Fulton street.
A patriotic Wall street man has had
the great flag made. 1t measures 30
feet in length and 49% feet in width.
and it is believed that it breaks the
record for size.

DR.. Hayes, of Buffalo, N Y, who is rapid.
" becoming known all over the civilized
world from his ability to cure Asthma so
that the sufferer stays cured, says that his
fact that he declines to use symptom, drugs,
which merely suppress the symptoms and
leave the cause of the disease untouched, but
employs natural alternatives and tonics,
which build up the digestive powers, i'm
prove the assimilation of the food give the.
patient better blood and more of it, out of
which to build up healthy body; and thus,
by changing the very type of nutrition and
changing the constitution, he removes the
cause of the disease and cures to stay cured.
This is very interesting line of thought for
those who suffer from Asthma and any who
desire to know more about it can get DR..
Hayes Thesis with Reports of Cases, en-
titled asthma and Hay Fever Cured to-
Stay Cured" by sending to DR.. Hayes for it.

No More Troops for Camp Alger.

WASHINGTON, June 4.--The board of
officers appointed to investigate the
alleged unhealthy conditions at Camp
Alger, Va, has made its report. 1t re-
fuses to discuss it, but the understand
ing is that generally speaking it finds
the place to be healthy and the water
supply ample, but it recommends that
no more troops be sent there, not even
to take the place of those departing
for the south.

offers to Exchange the Merrimao'a Crew.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 6.--Hob'
son and the hero crew of the Merri'
mac were saved in the following man
ner: Unable, after the sinking of
their vessel, to make their way back
through the storm of shot and she'll,
they rowed into the harbor to the
Spanish flagship and were taken on
board unframed. The Spanish adj
miral, under flag of truce, sent word
to tie American admiral yesterday
that he offered to exchange the pris-
oners, adding that in the meanwhile
Hobson and his party would be treated
with the greatest kindness.

WESTERN LINES ACT,
Adopt Resolutions Anent the Pass
enGer Rate War.


The following resolutions were drawn up
and endorsed at the mass meeting of the
Western lines at Chicago Tuesday:
Whereas, There is a disturbed condition
or passenger fares existing between the At
lantic and Pacific coasts, seriously affecting
the revenues of all lines interested in
through intermediate tariff; and
whereas, In granting application for the
suspension of the fourth section Of the act
to regulate commerce, the interstate COM
merce commission has filed a report and
opinion under date of Feb. "a, 1898, charg-
ing the Canadian Pacific railway with VIC
lation of the act to regulate commerce, in
making rates in the United States without
lawful sanction, and the opinion is ex-
pressed that the Canadian Pacific railway is
not entitled to a differential on the traffic
involved in the application; therefore, be it
Recolved, That the Western lines, in
meeting assembled, hereby instruct their
representatives on special committee of con-
ference to notify the Canadian roads repre-
sented on the committee that an adjustment
OF passenger rate difficulties must be upon
some other basis than the recognition of
d1fefential principle in any portion of the
territory CT the Western lines; and it is
resolved, further, That in the event of
failure of the special committee of con-
ference TO adjust unsettled passenger con-
ultlons at committee meeting to be he'd in
New York, commencing April u, members
OF OF the committee representing the Western
INES are instructed to proceed to Wash
inston and confer with the interstate com
MERGE commission in reference to future
steTs to be taken to restore reasonable ma
senger fares in the United States of
America. y.

NOT VERY PROMISING.


CHICAGO, April Cat a meeting of the
Western Passenger association he'd here to-
day general discussion took place regarding
the extensive Generalization Of rates which
has been caused by the Canadian Pacific
rate war.
A proposition was presented for the dis
continuance of the cut rates through the
Missouri river gateway and that they should
be met only through St. Paul. The payment
of excessive commissions also discussed,
and it was pointed out that these payments
had a great deal to do with much of the
existing Generalization. No definite action
was taken on any of these subjects. They
will be discussed further at subsequent ses-
sions of the meeting.
The committee which goes to New York to
represent the Western roads at the confer
erce with the Canadian Pacific next Tues
day, will, it is said, be left free to act it
may see fit with the exception of one point.
The only instructions that will be given it
Will relate to the question Of differentials.
On this point they will be very positive
They will be instructed to say to their Ca
madam competitor that under no circum-
stances can Canadian differentials be toll
Grated. The American roads take the ground
that the decision Of the interstate commerce
commission shuts them up to that position
SO that settlement of the present rate war
must be found on some other basis.
1t may be that a physical division of all
comfortable traffic will be proposed, but it Is
very uncertain that the Canadian Pacific viii
consent to treat that basis. The present
outlook for a settlement is not very prom
Using.

WALL STREET SANGUINE
THE DELAY FAVORABLE TO THE
AVOIDANCE OF WAR
Sharp Bulge In Prices on the An
nOuncement From Washington
That the Message of the Prcsi-
dent VIII Not Go to Congress I'm
til MOnday-A Waiting Attitude
In the Money Market

NEW. YORK, April There is strong
conviction in Wall street that delay in the
sending OF the presidents message is favorable
to the avoidance of war. This was clearly
manifest in the response Of the market to
the early rumor from abroad that the presi-
dents message would not go in today, and
to the later authorized announcement from
Washington, that it would be withheld until
Monday. 9ni5U
The assertions of the newspapers this morn
Ing that the message would without question
go IN today and that it would declare for
forcible intervention, caused a decline at the
opening, prices in almost all cases being
the lowest OF the day. Tie resistance to
the decline and the quick recovery were
surprise to outside Observers who were pre-
pared for something like a war panic on the
exchange. The recovery, was due to cabled
sage would not come until Thursday. This
rumor was quickly discredited by statements
from Washington, and the market drifted to a
lower plain again, but not to the lowest.
The stagnation of the trading during this
period OF waiting was almost absolute and
the sudden outbreak Of activity when the
later authentic reports came from Washing
ton that the message would be delayed I'M
til Monday was in strong contrast. 1t was
evident that the conclusion was leaped to
that the Withholding of the message was due
Spain, or to movement for mediation by Euro
pean powers. giving promise that the two
countries might emerge peacefully from their
ENHANCEMENT.
The violent advance was checked and re-
action set in when it was stated that the
delay was due to advices from Consul Gen
eral Lee that he would be able to secure the
departure in safety of Americans from Cuba
before next Monday.
Prices stiffened again, however, before the
close on the strength of the general senti-
ment that delay favored peace
The money market maintained waiting
attitude. Time money was firm at per cent
for all demands, but the exchange market
showed hardening tendency. Gold continues
to come, however, from. abroad.
Bonds moved in sympathy with stocks and
were stagnant until the last hour, when prices
adv anced on a squirt CT activity. Total sales,
81, $50, eco. U. S. new As registered were half
lower bid. Prices otherwise unchnged on
the day. The new As coupon sold all the way
from 120 at the opening to 1211a, the last
transaction.
Total sales of stocks today, 1923, 700 shares
including: A.ohson pfd, $50; Burlington, 3d.,

TESLIN LAKE ROAD
Canadian Government Gives the
Scheme a Six Months, Hoist.

The Ottawa legislators gave the proposed
Mackenzie-Mann Yukon-Teslin Lake railroad
land grant scheme the six months hoist al
their session of March 30, the objections being
about as numerous as the quilts on a porcu-
pine; the chief among these being the ex-
cesslve, enormous and unnecessary land
grant, also the short season of navigation on
the Stickeen, which does not open until the
middle or latter part of May and is then
navigabe for q good part of the seventy
day season only by canoes
The charge was openly made in the senate
that the proposed contract bore evidence of
being one of the biggest steals ever attempted
upon the people of Canada.
This defeats any possibility of railroad con-
nections over the much lauded Teslin Lake
route for another year at least and leaves the
hundreds CT misguided miners now at
Wrangell to find their way as best they may
TO Dyea.
The Whitehead party, of Chicago sailing
from Seattle Feb. Ii last, who were induced
to try the Stikeen route on the representa-
ton that a good wagon road from Glenora
to Tesln had been completed and would be
replaced by the Mann Mackenzie railroad
early in '9S. returned to Wrangel last week
from an unsuccessful attempt to get up the
Stckeen, announcing that with the outfits
they had it would have taken them three
years to get into the Klondike by way of
the Stickeen river. They sailed from Wrangell
on the first available beat for Skaguay.

CHICAGO. April 6.-Wheat today, after

The highest prices reached on yesterdays
,urb were quoted for July wheat at the
opening today, July starting all tire way from
'6GS6;2c against Mondays closing price OF
ShqS59sc. The strength at the start was
apparently due to the foreign news The
Northwest movement was rather light, Min

teadily. The movement continued for nearly
NO hours. during which time July was ham
