this beautiful river resort is so justly cel-

friends that they miss a goodly part of
the pleasure of a stay in Washington by
not going to Marshall Hall. Planked
shad dinner, including the famous Mar

THE STOCK HARKET FIRM
Some Very Favorable Statements of
Earnings Reported.
The Second Calf for Volunteers
Caused yieorons Drive Against
the Market.

New York, May 25-Yesterday's rumors
won by our forces proved this morning
to have been without foundation. Inas-
much as the decided advance in the mar
ket which took place then was primarily
based upon the unfounded reports in
question, 1t might have been expected
that prices today would rapidly retract
a good part of their upward course This
might, indeed, have been the case had
the line of reasoning adopted been less
optimistic.
In place of yesterdays rumors was the
intelligence in regard to the actual loca-
ton of the Spanish fleet and the common
opinion seemed TO be that this news,
while less dramatic, was really as favor
able in its ultimate bearing upon the war
as the action reported would have been.
There was nothing else in the days oc-
currences of sufficient Importance 70 com
pete in interest with the news of the
progress of hostilities. Some very favor
able statements of earnings were repsrted.
The showing OF the st. Paul Company
was, perhaps, the most noteworthy.
The course of prices was very irregular
throughout the day The initial quota
tions showed general fractional declines,
which were partially a reflection of the
lower London market. In the forenoon,
however, the market was very firm and
advanced Notwithstanding fairly heavy
selling here by foreign houses. The room
traders were disposed to hammer the
market throughout the day, and In the
afternoon they seized upon the second
call for volunteers as a preteXt for
particularly vigorous and fairly success
full drive against the market.
The trading was upon a moderately ac-
tive scale and was well distributed
throughout the market. ST. Paul, Man
haitian and New York Central were con-
spicuous features in respect TO frmness
and activity. Union Pacific preferred,
Sugar Refining and Tobacco were also
largely dealt in. The last named was
the only notably weak feature of the ac-
tive stocks.
The market closed active and unset

former. but there were persistent and
thoroughly well authenticated reports at
the War Department yesterday TO the
effect that it would be the latter. If
, this be true. troops may leave Tampa
today or tomorrow. Naval vessels on
the southern coast of Florida will act
as conveys for the transport ships. Hur-
ried orders have already been sent to
the military commanders at Key West
by Assistant Secretary Meikeljohn for the
transports necessary for the expedition.
The battleship Oregon, which arrived at
Jupiter Inlet last night, will probably be
one of the vessels assigned to convoy the
troopships TO San Juan. Naval and mill
tary authorities decline to make any posi-
tive statement to this effect, however
1t will be necessary TO send several
good warships with the transports to re-
duce the fortifications and protect the
American forces. but they will hardly
be needed TO make the transports secure
against the ships of the enemy on the
voyage If the Porto Rican invasion be
made first. as many believe, the Cuban
invasion would then be postponed until
sometime next week. or until San Juan
has been taken, although the latter move

WHEAT RULED HIGHER.
Strength Due Principally to Buying
of Letter Interest


Chicago, May 25.-Wheat ruled higher
and closed with an Improvement of IA
over yesterday. Gables were better, but
the strength was due principally to buy
ing by brokers in the Letter interest. 1t
is probable that the price of May wheat
will be bid up at the close of the month,
which will naturally make shorts in other
options uneasy.
There is no change in the crop situation
and the Government report was favorable,
as predicted. st. Louis had notice of ship
ments of new wheat from Texas. Pri-
mary receipts showed some falling off,
being $4,000 bushels against 442,0G0 last
year. Wheat 4 India and Russia is
offered for July shipment at relatively
lower prices than the July option on this

The stock market was weak yesterday,
and there were recessions nearly all day,
though the total for the session was I'M
important. The drop is ascribed to the
second call for troops, which was un-
doubtedly a disappointment TO many that
had thought the war was nearly over.
The call undoubtedly means that the
President expects TO fight for some time
longer before he compels the Spaniards
TO give up. II also has very much the
look of an intention to hold the various
islands that he hopes 10 take the Philip
pines, Porto Rico, Cuba, and, perhaps,
the Canaries Even after the war is over
there would be sufficient use for a large
body of troops TO hold the islands and
keep them in order. The calling out Of
1900 troops at this stage of the war is in
this way very acceptable to those who
believe in the new policy of the United
States holding its possessions and defend
ing them. There are already 100000 troops
provided for and almost that number
mustered in with the regular army. The
new call viii increase the number to ex-
actly 27S,500 troops, very different num-
ber from the $4,000 Regular Army hereto

Boston, May 25.-Dr. Pulaski Hyatt. for
five years United States consul at Santi-
ago de Cuba. arrived in Boston this
morning, having returned via Port An
tonic, Jamaica, on the steamer Brooklyn.
Consul Hyatt says that If the Spanish
fleet is bottled up in Santiago Bay 1t is
certainly in a strong bottle. The entrance
to the harbor is long and tortuous and
so narrow that ii would be unsafe for
two warships to attempt to enter 1t
abreast.
The entrance is thoroughly mined.
Morro Castle is an old fortress and could
be easily demolished. The harbor is pro-
tected by several modern guns, but they
are of small caliber and are not of the
disappearing type.
