EFFECT or WAR ON BUSINESS.


One remarkable feature OF this war is
the very slight disturbance in the vol-
ume of business transacted The de-
crease has been I'm the line OF new enter
prises and there is decline In the ex-
tent Of speculation: but what has been
lost in one way has been gained In an
other, SO that the aggregate is the same.
This country never entered upon war
with so little misgiring. and no nation
ever experienced such an utter absence
OF financial insecurity as that OF this
country now.
Public attention is distracted and In
the end our debt will be so much greater
that for few years We must submit to
greatly increased taxation. even IL no
issue OF bonds should be necessary. but
there are very few idle men In the coun-
try. and with that activity comes a very
general circulation OF money. Indeed.
the bulk OF the cost, so far, Of the war
has been a mere transfer OF money from
one pocket TO another.
In some branches OF industry. apart
from the demand for munitions of war,
there is an unusual activity. For in
stance. sl.0Oo0o0 worth Of new steel
freight cars has been ordered by one OF
the large railway lines. The foreign
trade for March is declared to be the
most remarkable exhibit OF the most
remarkable year in the commercial his
tory OF this country. The excess Of
merchandise imports was s51 .slo. 600. an
Increase OF s4o.ooo.ooo over the same
month In 1897. The largest gold i'm
ports in March, a movement which has
created such disturbance and anxiety in
leading European money markets, were
$50. 000. 600 less than the excess OF mer-
chandise exports. which means an In
crease OF Europe's debt TO this country
OF that amount on the face OF the visit
BILE items Of the foreign trade. For the
fiscal year to date. nine months. the fig
ures are so large as to influence every
money market and every budget of the
world. The excess of merchandise ex-
ports is s47o.ssl. 900. and the actual fav-
orable balance Of trade is SAC. 100. 900.
While American per cent. bonds are
at il7ia to iIs, and strong at those fig
ures, Spanish 4 per cent. bonds are at
32is and weak. Spain must take 30
cents for a dollar of bonds and pay 4
per cent. for that dollar; we can get lis
cents for dollar Of bonds and only pay
1 per cent. fer that dollar. In Spain
gold is at 90 per cent. premium. which
is to say that her money Is worth only
a trife more than so cents on the dol
lar. while with us all our money is at
par and on a parity. of course and
Is likely 10 remain so.
Our soisency. our financial integrity.
which makes one dollar Of any form of
our money equal 10 any other dollar Of
our money. and our wealth are what
would cripple Spain in her bankrupt
condition. and with her deprecated
money, except gold. even IL her fleet
were as powerful as ours.

War Is on for the Washington boys, who

coed to scene where they are sure to en-
counter dangers. Even the insurgents on
the Philippine islands will not welcome
them. The rebels do not want orderly gov
eminent. but an opportunity for loo.ing.

I'm navy were sent to the Philippines
they might do considerahae damage TO
cur ships there Tie part OF prudence
would be. IL the odds were heavily
against Dewey. TO notify him IN time
10 abandon the Philippines and make
for the Pacific coast The Pacific feet
having been demolished, we need not
care anything about the islands for the
present 1t is certain that IL the At
lantic squadron should attempt to pass
through the Suex canal it would not be
a work of much difficulty to ascertain
the exact strength OF the force. Know
ing that, we could determine whether
10 take chances or recall Dewey.
Apparently 1t was the original pur-
pose Of the government to leave Cuba
alone, and not attempt to land any
force, until 1t could be backed up by
the navy. 1t would have been unwise
to withdraw any ships from the squad
ron sent out TO meet the Spanish feet
until the latter had been encountered
and vanquished. It must be reinem-
bered that we have had to keep our
vessels 30 arranged that from the coast
north Of Boston to the Gulf OF Mexico
the entire feet could be concentrated
in short order. 1t was impossible TO
foresee what the objective point OF the
Spaniards was. 1t might be Havana,
or Boston.
It might be their purpose to go In
body and pick out isolated warships
patroling the coast. and by sheer force
Of numbers destroy one after another.
without any knowledge OF that fact
reaching the land until considerable
mischief had been done. Our Atlantic
coast line covers q considerable dis
lance and 1t taxed our resources to keep
up close connection between the watch
full cruisers and the squadrons. and at
the same time adequately protect each
Of the harbors.
Now that there is no longer any fear
OF an incursion by the Spanish feet.
our forces can be concentrated at one
or two points and the landing Of troops
on Cuba be covered.
The naval authorities felt it was nee
essary to have the unhampered control
OF all the warships in order to carry
out the policy of first clearing the seas
Of the enemy. 1t would do much more
to cripple Spain to annihilate its feet
than 1t would merely to take possession
OF Cuba It was calculated that the
New York, Indiana, Iowa and Puritan
OF Admiral SIMPSONS feet, and the
Massachusetts,. Texas and Brooklyn Of
Commodore Schley's squadron. would
be sufficient tQ cope with and destroy
the main body OF the enemy. but they
have a large number OF small boats
which would occupy the attention OF
good portion OF those belonging to the
United States which could be spared
from patrol duty.
In the present aspect OF affairs 1t
seems evident that Cuba must be occu-
pied at once. Having landed con-
siderable force, 1t win not be a difficult
matter to keep open the channel OF sup
plies between the coast of the island
and Key West. Immediately after the
occupation our fleet will depart for
Spain with the avowed purpose OF seek
ing the Spanish fleet there. This will
serve 10 call home all her warships and
SO free us from any fear OF further mo-
Iestation In the Gulf Of Mexico.

BASE BALL GOSSIP.

Scranton has a chance now to get a
good ball club cheap. The Syracuse
Stars are for sale and owner Euntzsch
will doubtless sell at low figure. He
has lost lot of money on the club and
wants to get rid of 1t. Scranton should
be able to support club II Wilkes-B Barre
can, and her not doing so this season is
considered a pretty black eye for the up
to-date business men of that town who
are always talkiI & about Scranton's en-
terprise and trying to make people be-
lieve their town is superior to this hust-
ling city.-Wilkes-B Barre Evening Leadet.
Says the Syracuse Standards: "Mr.

team were playing their last game in Sy-
racuse. In the evening he wasn't sure.
Yesterday he was less sure. He doesn I
know what he will do He hates the
thought of losing a franchise for Syra-
cuse next year for he thinks that there
will be money In the game in Syracuse

notion of taking $1,000 more out of last
seasons profits to pay up margins en-
guarantees, for the crowds at Star park
aren't paying the guarantee. So long as

isn't losing much and so isn't worried

Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay
Cuba, July 81, 2 p. m.-All the Cuban
troops at Camp McCalla were trans
ferred this morning to Caimanera in
the Samoset. They will camp there.
awaiting orders. They rather expect
to go to Santiago. The parting be-
tween the United States marines and
their Cuban allies was attended with
quite a ceremony. A guard was drawn
up and the Cubans shouted: viva
Americanos!" "Viva Cuba Libre!' and
viva McCalla" 1t is generally con-
ceded that they have been of great
service to the marines. The latter re-
main in their original camp.
The preparations OF the fleet con-
tinue without incident. The Vixen, with
General Howard and number of army
nurses. went to Santiago this morning.
General Howard arrived on the Mag
ara. The Marblehead picked up thir-
teen submarine contact mines in the
upper Guantanamo Bay yesterday. All
were covered with barnacles and prac-
tically harmless. They had been in the
water since April.

previous to General Miles departure
that his landing place would be within
