The executive committee of the Wash

many matters in connection with the re-

James X. Maddux, whose bay gelding,

tested against the award to Fox on the
grounds that the latter was not a green

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK, May 13.-Opening prices
this morning reflected in some degree the
wavering tendency of the London market.
inspired by advices announcing the unex-
pected discovery of the Spanish fleet. The
n mors which followed the first announce
ment to this effect were somewhat sensa-
donal in character, but were promptly de-
n'ed from this side. and the closing time
OF the foreign markets was described as
having regained its former steadiness
Commission houses on this side sold a mod
crate volume of speculative holdings. prices
yielding from Il to ~ per cent In the pro-
cess.
The lower range of prices failed to
create any impression of weakness. As
enc set of holders yielded to a cautious
fear of the developments of the next forty
eight hours a holder set of purchasers APP
peared to absorb the offerings. In conse-
Guence of this new demand the decline IN
prices prevailed for a brief time only.
Later in the day the buying became
superior in character, and the undertone
of the market regained its customary con-
ftdence in the future. The prospect of an
early naval engagement with the strongest
fleet OF the enemy was construed to mean
an early ending of the contest
In the more experienced speculative cir
cles peace arguments We're plentiful. while
cor sentative interests were disposed to
await developments before hazarding idle
capital. 1t has been demonstrated beyond
doubt during the week that the floating
supply of stocks seeking a market is ap-
preaching minimum proportions. Holders
OF stocks are disposed to eliminate the
question of time and rely upon the GER
tainty of American success ultimately.
In addition to war news the market is re-
oeIvinS assistance of perfectly legitimate
and routine character Earnings are good
and traffic managers predict a prolonged
period of large increases. The good effect
of refundinG schemes and the recent econ
omies are just developing into benefits and
a larger appreciation of these changes can
rot fail to help prices.
Legislation on the revenue bill is awaited
with growing interest but those directly
concerned with this measure are disposed
to regard the outcome as being reasonably
satisfactory. A decision in the Sth avenue
railroad case favorable to the present own
ers of the property found reflection in the
prices of all the street railway lines.
Metropolitan and Manhattan were espe-
cially strong upon the announcement of
the opinion, and the activity in this group
helped to hold the entire market. During
the final trading the volume of business
fell off slightly, but prices held WELL never
theless, and the customary firmness at the
end of the week seems reasonably certain.

CABLE TO MANILA.
Restoration of Communication Ex
pected Soon.

There Is every prospect that cable COM
munication with Admiral Dewey will be
established shortly. and in fact, the Off
Gals of the Navy Department would not
be surprised IL a message was received
from him within twenty-four hours This
Is expected. not by the dispatch boat TO
Hong Kong and thence by cable, meaning
delay of three or four days after the
writing of the message. but directly from
the admiral in Manila bay.
The dispatch boat McCulloch sailed from
Hong Kong last Sunday afternoon on her
return TO Manila bay. She carried impor-
tant dispatches from the department, to
Admiral Dewey. so that she would be like
~ 10 make good time. She was due in Ma
Mia bay last evening or this morning. Be-
fore she left Hong Kong the Navy Depart-
uent directed that she take aboard of her
cable operator and apparatus for working
the cable from the end cut in the ocean by
Admiral Dewey the day after the battle of
Manila bay.
Under ordinary conditions a few hours
should sufice to recover the broken end
OF the cable. to moor it properly. to attach
the instruments and to establish communi-
cation electrically with Hong Kong. so
that II is only reasonable to expect that
Admiral Dewey will be heard from directly
almost any moment

MADRID GREATLY EXCITED
Public Officials Hear of the Arrival
of the Cape Verde Fleet.

MADRID, May I3.-There is
great excitement here among public
officials at the news of the arrival of
the Spanish fleet at Martinique. 1t
is now said the ships went there on
purpose to coal, and that two large
transatlantic steamers loaded with
coal were awaiting them at Fort de
France. Another object of the call
OF the Spanish fleet at Martinique
was to communicate with the Span
ish government and ascertain the
whereabouts OF the American fleet.
Admiral Corvera now knows ev-
erythlng which has tran3pircd since
his departure from the Cape Verde
Islands. and he has iuli instruL tons
as to his future movements. The
fleet will leave Martinique immcdi-
ately for an unknown destination,
and it is added some DAYS may
elapse before the Spanish ships axe
again heard from.
Great anxiety has beer felt IN off
cial circles here since the receipt Of
the news of the bombartl,nc1lt of San
Juan de Porto Rico by Rear admiral
Simpsons fleet.
