STOCKS y RO\DS

New York, June 25.-The regretable
loss of some American soldiers i'll Cuba
had a sentimentally depressing infu-
ence at the opening of the stock market
to-day. Prices continued sluggish. but
without real weakness during the first
hour. The question of differentials to
the Canadian Pacific was said to still
block a settlement of the rate war and
this contributed to the heaviness in
Northern Pacific. The specialtins on
manipulation improved substantially.
Various industrials, including spirits and
tobacco. received effective support thus

precipitated in the Senate over Il propo-
siticn to adjourn till Monday. At the
conclusion of Il speech by Mr.. Turley
OF Tennessee. Il futile effort was made
to agree upon Il time to take Il fnal
vote Upon the annexation resolutions
The advocates of the resolution voted
down Il motion to go into executive SEES
sion and demanded the regular order.
The opponents of annexation We're
determined not to proceed with the
debate. and for nearly an hour carried
on administering tactics by entering mo-
ton after motion to adjourn or to &C
into executive session. and demanding

ly to be another result Of the events
transpiring to-day. II may now come
about either by the surrender Of the
city. which would include the surrender
or Hobson and other American prison.
ers in the city. or else by the exchange
Of Hobson for Admiral Cervera. or
some other high ranking naval officer.
Until to-day the possibility OF exchang-
ing Hobson was slight, as this govern
ment had no Spanish prisoners of high
rank to offer In his place. Now, how
ever. they have one OF the foremost
admirals OF Spain. ana among the l.
300 other naval prisoners there are
many of distinguished rank. To ex-
change a Spanish admiral for an Amer
lean naval constructor might seem
strange under ordinary circumstances.
but 1t would be done without any be-
grudging by the authorities here, and
would be particularly appropriate in
view of the action of Cervera at the
time Hobson surrendered to him.
The dispatch from the front stated
that there was likely to be some crit
icism because of the treatment of for
eign military attaches there. 1t was
stated by n of the highest officers in
the service that the foreign gentlemen
had received absolutely everything in
the way of accommodations. supplies.
rations, ETC., given 10 our own officers
and men. What was most surprising
was hat this protest should come at a
moment when our men were fighting in
swami and thicket under a blazing sun,
with a thousand dead or wounded, and
under the fire of an entrenched enemy.
There Is every disposition here to ex-
tend the most complete courtesy to
these gentlemen that is consistent with
the circumstances. There is no pur-
pose, however, TO recognize them as a
superior set or to give them greater at
tention in mounts, tents or attendance
than our own officers and men receive.
