THE MARKETS.
Wall street Review

New York, May A-The stock market
continued more or less professional today
and there was palpable evidence of man.
ipulation. The success of the campaign
for the rise, assisted by one or two fac
tors of strength, invited an extending IN
terest and induced a broadening tendency
in the speculation. The advance was pri-
marily due to the rumors, subsequently
discredited, that the United States fleet
had won n victory over the Spaniards in
West Indian waters. The final strength
of the market cannot be attributed to
these rumors. The final upward rush of
prices was largely due to covering the
shorts who had become alarmed at the
easy advarcc of prices and the persistent
resistance to decline, especially after the
contradiction of the reports of success
ful naval battle. This covering OF shorts
made final prices the best of the day.
Net gains were well over a point in the IN
ternational and Granger groups of the
railway list and ranging up to nearly 8
points for Metropolitan Street railway In
the spcculatives. Total sales OF stocks
were AIS, 200 shares.

THE WEEKS WAR NEWS.

The event of the week has been the bat
tie near Santiago last Friday, in which
the Americans were victorious, although
they suffered the loss of 1G men killed and
more than so wounded. A detailed ac-
count of the battle is given elsewhere
Gen. Skaters forces have since pushed
steadily forward for the investment of
Santiago, and they are now within three
miles of the city. The general reports to
Washington that he could take the city in
As hours if he thought it desirable to do
so. There is news that Gen. Pando is on
his way from Manzanillo with 500 troops
for the reinforcement of Santiago. The
city will probably fall before his arrival.
The New York Herald correspondent
tells story of the great suffering from
lack of food of the Cubans who have come
into the lines of the American army. In
several cases the men were so famished
that death took place after indulgence in
a full meal.
The most important news aside from
the operations at Santiago have been the
announcement of the formation of a squad
ron under Commodore Watson to proceed
to the coast of Spain and make an attack
there as the surest way of bringing the war
to a close The idea of the government is
that in this way the Spanish people can be
best made to realize the hopelessness of
further warfare. The fleet will consist of
the cruiser Newark as flagship, the first
class battleships Iowa and Oregon, and
the auxiliary cruisers Yankee, Yosemite

II is more than probable that the pur-
pose of the government in making an
nouncement of the formation of this fleet
was to cause the fleet of Admiral Camara
to turn back from its purpose to go to the
Philippines. Camara's fleet is now at Port
Said at the entrance Of the Suez canal. 1t
is understood that the Admirars purpose e
is to pass through the canal, and 60 thence
to Manila.
Gen. Merritt sailed Wednesday from
San Francisco on the fast cruiser Newport
carrying troops and supplies for Manila.
On his arrival Admiral Dewey, with the
American troops, which will by that time
have arrived, will take possession of Man
ila, and Gen Merritt will become the gov
ernor general of the Islands.
The next important news to be looked
for is doubtless that of the fall of Santiago.
