GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, June IL. Isas
A slightly higher range of prices pre-
Vailed during the opening hour this morn
ihs as the result of the increasing pros
Pect Tor early military successes Lon
oons prices were fractionally higher. and
some buying was credited to that center.
traders were disposed TO retard the adj
vance by increasing their short lines. but
the volume of this business never attained
significant proportions.
The continued wet period in the western
grain belt was used an argument against
Improvement in the granger shares This
argument was not entirely SUCCESSFUL in
depressing prices. however as IN at least
one instance friends OF the property began
an aggressive buying movement and helped
indirectly to steady the entire market.
Rock Island was the road selected for
this purpose, and once the source OF the
buying vas determined sales for the de-
cline were discontinued. The railroad list
was only of secondardy Importance how
ever, during the greater part of the day.
The real activity developed in the indus
trial group and in Tobacco and Sugar in
particular.
The movement in the frst-named stock
carried the price up sharply for \ gain of
nearly per cent, and gave rise to predic-
ions OF a further immediate advance. The
new revenue bill has been especially lem
lent in its operations against the COM
panys product, and where hardshiDs exists
at all the new law puts the brunt OF Il upon
the plug manufacturers
The American company has developed its
arguments for consolidation of all to-
bacco interests by this liquidative device.
and can safely count upon the ultimate
acceptance of their terms. Recent changes
In the directory are taken as an indication
of important developments at an early date
As the stock is virtually controlled by
the friends of one of the largest traders
in the street the matter OF fixing a price
upon the shares is a question OF detail
scarcely open TO the public.
American Sugar was advanced 1 per cent
during the initial trading, but lost its gain
almost at once under selling for both ac-
counts. Ii is quite possible that recent SELL
ers OF Sugar have taken their profits aud
used them for the purpose of the present
campaign in Tobacco.
This presumption is at least warranted
by the opposite character OF the trading In
the two properties.
During the final hour the evening-up
traders contracts were noticeable in the
course OF prices. Fractional declines from
the days best prices prevailed i'm all de-
partments. but the market relapsed into
dullness at the decline.
Baltimore and Ohio " Ill shortly announce
the completed details of its reorganization
plan. now all underwritten. and will pro-
coed at once with the long delayed rehabil-
itation of the property.

QUICKLY REACHED A DECISION.

The Hawaiian Resolution Considered
in Committee Fifteen Minutes.
Only about fifteen minutes time was
consumed by the Senate committee on for
eign relations today in reaching a conclus-
ion to report the resolution for the ac-
QUESTION of the Hawaiian Islands by the
United States. Only two of the democratic
members, Messrs. Turpie and Mills, were
present at the meeting and they contented
themselves with recording their votes in
opposition to motion to report favorably,
showing no disposition to delay action by
the committee. No republican votes were
cast in the negative and Senator Davis
stated that he was authorized to cast the
vote of Senator. Morgan in the affirmative.
The fact developed that while the resolu-
ton first received the sanction of the
House, it was prepared by Senator Davis
and disposition was manifested to
change it in any respect.
After the agreement to report the reso-
luton was reached there was some in
fCimal discussion as to when the Senate
should be asked to take up the question,
and it was decided that this should he
done tomorrow, the first practicable day,
objection would be sufficient 10
prevent the beginning of consideration to-
day. 1t is possible, however, that after
calling the matter up tomorrow it may be
dilOWtu " 80 oNcI Until MOHudy, do tilc
opponents of the resolution say they will
refuse to assist In making a quorum if
the question is pressed tomorrow.
1t is already becoming evident that the
reported understanding among the mem
bers of the finance committee which was
reached during the tendency of the war
revenue bill to the effect that the Hawaiian
resolution should rot come up for con-
sideration during the present session of
Congress, will cut an important figure In
the consideration Of the question in the
Serate.
This matter was informally presented to
the republican members of the committee
on behalf of the democrats after the adj
journment of the committee meeting to-
day, and they were informed that the
democratic members of the finance commit
tee were generally disposed to contend that
the agreement was explicit to, the effect
that the Hawaiian question should not be
revived in the Senate during the present
session. Some of the republican members
of the foreign relations committee stated
that they had never before heard of the
agreement, but all manifested disposition
to investigate the matter.

"On June 49, at am, fire was opened
upon the coast batteries of Santiago de
Cuba by four American battle ships. two
1ronclac cruisers and protected cruiser,
while one yacht opened fire opposite Aqua
dores beach. The cannonade was violent
and fearful and lasted one hour and half.
The Americans fired over LOCO projectiles

cannon at La Zocapa, covering them with
earth.

MADRID. June 17.-Advices received here
from Havana from official sources charac-
terize the fighting at Guantanamo bay as
"mcre skirmishes'' with the met result
that Americans have been able to hold the
place where they landed.
Continuing. the Havana dispatch says:
"They have suffered greatly both from the
fusillade and ths heat. The Spaniards are
in possession of several wells, none OF
which has been injured.
1.-THE stories that the Notifications of
Caimanera and the Moro have been dam
aged are false
The following official note has been is
sued here: The charges Of Spanish cruelty
to the wounded and mutlation of the dead
are false. These accusations have caused
the liveliest Indignation among all classes
in Spain, and especially among the troops,
who are indignant at the calumny. The
Spanish army is conducting itself in this
war with the nobility it has always shown
as proved by tthe'evidence of the American
prisoners who were released and its dis
cipline is so strict that any such conduct
would have been 'relentlessy punished"
