Difficulties in the Way of For-
warding Supplies to
Cuba.

WASHINGTON, June is, 1S9S.-The lack
of available ships to carry the supplies
is just now delaying the award of the
contracts by the Commissary Department
of the Army for furnishing refrigerated
meats. for the army in Cuba as well as
for the starving natives
The Commissary General prefers not to
close the contracts until ships for carry
ing the supplies are in such condition as
to be ready promptly for transportation
purposes. Some difficulty is being en-
countered by the department in obtaining
vessels and it may be that resort to inn
pressment will be necessary.
The proposals received by Gen. Eagan
Wednesday from the various meat dress
ing establishments Of the country con-
templated that the government should
furnish the vessels. After they have been
obtained, refrigerating apparatus will
have to be installed to keep the meat
fresh and palatabie during and after its
shipment to Cuba and until 1t is furnish
ed to the troops.
Gen. Eagan says refrigerated meat only
can be satisfactorily used for feeding the
troops as experience has shown that cat-
tie killed the day before and left over
night is not edible.

lnent might have some ditiiculty in OBJ

ROSIE BREuNER COMES BACK.
But Brings Only SO of the SIS That
Disappeared With Her.

Rosie Breuner, a fifteen-year-old Jew
ess, who lived with her cousin. the wife
of Max Breuner, feed and coal merchant,
of No 4S5 Grove street, was reported at
the Seventh street police station yester-
day as missing since noon the day be-
fore. She reappeared at her home this
morning. She refused to talk much
about her sudden disappearance, even
to Mr.. and Mrs. Breuner.
1t had been ascertained by the Breun-
ers that she arrived at the home of Mrs.
Breuner's sister, in New York, at eleven
o'clock on the night of her disappearance.
When she disappeared the Breuners
missed s. from bureau drawer in which
a roll of money had been deposited. The
girl came home this morning, bringing
some change. She admits taking 49,
Some of the Breuners' neighbors started
a yarn that the girl had been recently
seen visiting the home of Christians in
Third street, where there were several
boys, and that they had probably put
her up to stealing the money. Mr.
Breuner said today that the girl had all
ways been strictly honest and he was
unable to account for her strange con-
duct. She secuted the idea of pressing
a charge against her.

LONDON WAR TALK.
Talk of the Cubans Going Back
On Us--Our War Loan.
rBv Gable to The Associated Press. ]

rRy Cable to The Associated Press.
LONDON, June IS, 1S9S-A despatch to
the Times from Havana, says
..There is a decided tendency towards
reconciliation manifested by large sec
ton of the insurgents, who mistrust Am
erican intervention. A proclamation has
been issued controlling the sale Of pro-
visions and fixing the food tariff. !"
The sStatist', commenting upon the
war loan of the United States, today,
says
saThe preparations for the loan no
doubt account to some extent for the fall
in American railroad securities this week
The other principal cause is the collapse
of the wheat corner, and if there is very
much selling of American railroad securi-
ties in Europe, as is believed on the
Stock Exchange, then it is possible gold
may be taken soon to New York in con-
siderable amount. American bills are
known to be offering. Indeed. 1t is said
bills are being drawn against credits, IN
anticipation of ordinary requirements.
Therefore, it is moi at all I'M
probable that gold may be taken,
and if it goes we shall certainly see
a very considerable recovery in rates IN
London
Under the heading rs the Bank of
Spain Insolvent?o the "Statist" lengthily
discusses Spain's financial position, say
ing
Upon the Banks ability to finance the
Government depends the continuation and
duration Of the war. Practically, the
Spanish Government is now reduced to
the expedient of using the printing press
to meet it's war outlays, and the longer
that printing press is in operation and
the more notes are issued the greater will
be the depreciation in the value Of the
paper peseta. If the war lasts much
longer we may see the paper peseta,
which is now at discount of fifty per
cent, depreciate as did the assignat of
France at the close of the last century.
The formal suspension OF specie pay
ments cannot long b bzdelayed Indeed, the
suspension has prfEtically occurred
The 'tStatist" len presents an array
of figures showzag the exact position of
the bank, with a note circulation of 1318.-
600 pesetas without any coin reserve
available for its redemption, and further
pointing out that such note circulation
may be increased to 1880, ,0OO. 900. Finally,
the saStatisto says that in three years the
Spanish and Cuban Governments have
borrowed 1,Oo0.ooo0 600 pesetas from the

quis di Rudini, announced that the Min-
istry, which was only formed on May 81
has resigned.
Amidst considerable excitement, tha
Marquis di Rudini said that after consid-
ering the Parliamentary situation and in
order not to prejudice grave puolid
question the Ministers had placed their
designations in the hands of the Kirg.
who reserved the right of decision rela-
tive to their acceptance, remark WHICH
was greeted with murmurs.
Continuing. the Marquis said the Minis<
try would remain in office fer the present
in order to attend to routine business ard
safeguard public order. He then begged
the Chamber to suspend its sittings. Tha
request was met with shouts of 'fNc'A
"No:v
The Premier then added that the CHAINS
Der could confer on its President the
power of resummoning the Deputies when
it was considered necessary to do so foH
approving a vote on account for shora
period. Long dissenting murmurs fol-
lowed this suggestion.
The Italian Ministry which has just re-
signed only presented itself to thu
Chamber of Deputies on Thursday last
1t was formed on May 81 and was cons
stituted as follows
President of the Council of Ministers
and Minister of the Interior-Marquis di

AT the time for the formation of this
Ministry it was pronounced to be color
less combination and it was predicted
that it would have difficulty in finding
majority in the Chamber of Deputies.
The Cabinet previous to the one which
has just resigned voluntarily relinquish-
ed office on May Is. The Marquis yis-
conti-Venosta, the then Minister for
Foreign Affairs, was the first to hand in

Jamaica, Saturday, June IS, GA A. M
A hot brush between some Spanish troops
and a accommodating party, in steam cut
ters, occurred at daylight this morning
in small cove west of MORO Castle. The
Massachusetts steam cutter in charge of
Lieutenant Harlow, entered the cove to
take sounding and reconnoitre. When
well inside the inlet detachment of
Spanish infantry opened fire upon the
cutter from a blockhouse. The fire was
vigorously returned by the marines who
were in the Massachusetts, boat and also
by the marines who were in the New
York's cutter, which was in charge of
Naval Cadet Powell, and which had fol-
lowed in The New Yorks cutter was
: hit ten times and a marine in the cutter
of the Massachusetts had the stock of
his rifle shattered, but by good luck no
one was hurt.
The Texas opened fire with her six
Founders on the hillside and the Vixen
steamed right into the cove and peppered
the blockhouse with her rapid-fire guns.
Eventually the spaniards retreated to
the woods and the two steam cutters
withdrew

comet has been found by Prof. W. J..

close to it's predicted place and was found
instantly. No attempt has as yet been
made here to observe it. The measure

comet was seen without difficulty with
the s6-inch refractor, but it would prob
ably be quite faint with some telescopes.
1t has a central constellation and a port

by Max Wolf. of Heidelberg in 1884, and
was rediscovered by Spitaler in Vienna in

LONDON, June IS. 1SsS.-It is announced
that Great Britain will not hold her usual
naval manoeuvres this year, which has
caused much speculation as to the reason
for this step. In some quarters it is aid
it i due to lack of coal. owing to tho
Welsh strike But, in other quarters, II
is believed that important events are In
sight.
The officials of the British Admiralty
decline to give their reasons for aband<
oning the manoeuvres; but. they say ID
is not because of lack of coal, as ample
supplies of fuel were secured previous To
the strike of the miner in Wales.
