SPANISH FINANCES.
A More Favorable Appearance-Amoun
of Gold in Spain.

London, May 1.-THE Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily News says: 1.-THE
latest news is good and bad The good
is the rise in the peseta. Yesterday at
o'clock French journalist changed
200 francs at the credit Lyonnaise at 112.
Half an hour later exchange had Drop
ped to so. The bank refused to cash
foreign checks until the end of the
week, not knowing where exchange will
be the next minute. In fact, exchang-
ing money is a pure gamble. The rea-
son for the fall was the immense pur-
chase of the Bank of Sapin to meet it's
coupons. Nobody knows how much
gold there is in Spain. The effect has
been to draw out the boarded gold.
Yesterday morning crowds might
have been seen in front of the Credit
Lyonnaise and all other foreign banks,
consisting of Madridenes and provin-
cials, bringing for exchange monde
script coins, some 500 years old The
financiers were taken completely by
surprise and probably there are sub
stantial boards still left.

CHIEFS or POLICE.
National Association Holds n Convene
ton in Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 10.-The con-
vention of the national association of
chiefs of police opened here to-day with
about one hundred delegates, repre-
senting the largest cities in the coun-
try. President John I. Jansen referred
to the vast and increasing number of
criminals as the main problem to be
dealt with. He spoke of the advan-
tages of the system of measurement
and photographing criminals advocated
the abolishment of the laws governing
the extradition of criminals and favor
ed hard manual labor in the peniten-
tiary as preferable to the present sys-
tenn. The pardoning of criminals
should be made more difficult and only
permitted when doubt of guilt appear
ed. He suggested legislation by all the
states for the appointment of commits
sioners with power to construct a.
criminal code which would meet the
present requirements and conditions.
The following officers swere elected:
President, E. E. Jansen, Milwaukee;
vice president, H. w. Moore, Washing

THE CARRINGToN PUBLISHING co
AT CAMP HAVEN.
Examination of OfRecruits-The Yale Men
Captain Beach,s Artillery.

Camp Haven, State Military Rendez-
vous, Mantle, Conn, May 1O.-To-days
story of the proceedings in camp can
be told in one brief woodwork. 1t
has been a day of delightful weather
conditions and as it was only the Sec
ond pleasant day since the camp was
established, the officers endeavored to
make amends for lost time, and drills
followed drills, one upon another, in
rapid succession until the men began
to show the effects of the unaccustom-
ed routine.
The examination of the men at post
headquarters is progressing with much
greater rapidity, as the officers have
become more accustomed to their du-
ties, and it is the opinion of Colonel
Burdette that his regiment will be al
ready to muster into the regular ser
vice by the close of Saturday. The ex-
animation of company K of Hartford
was completed this afternoon early,
and company G Of Rockville will be the
next taken in hand. At the conclusion
of the physicians labors this afternoon
they had examined forty-eight men of
company G and there was only one
doubtful one. BY tomorrow noon the
examination of company will be con-
cluded and company B of Hartford will
have to go through the tests.
Battery G, heavy artillery, which was
recruited by Captain Beach, has not re-
ceived ts,equipments as yet, excepting
the overcoats that We're given them
when they first came into camp. The
quartermaster's department will prob
ably issue the clothing Wednesday or
the day following. The battery is
most orderly one, and the men spend
their leisure mostly in the company's
streets. Their drilling to-day has been
in marching in columns of four, and
section movements. The following an
nouncement of sergeants was made:
Walter G. Penfield, formerly boatswain
mate in the first battalion, naval re-
serves; Jeremiah j. Murphy, James c.
Stoddard and Charles N. Burdick, New
London, and William Noonan, New Ha-
ven.
The Yale platoon will probably be
known as the First platoon, battery A,
as Lieutenant Weston ranks as first
lieutenant. The students were in the
field to-day for nearly two hours in
succession drilling in setting up exer-
cises. Orders came to camp tonight
from Washington for each company
commander to forward Immediately re-
QUESTIONS for everything needed in the
company for immediate service on mus
tering in.

Evangelist Moody,s Appeal.

Northfield, Mass, May 10.-Evangel-
ist Dwight L. Moody has issued an ap-
peal to the Christian people of the
country to raise money for the distrib-
ution of Christian literature among the
men of the army and navy. Mr.. Moody
was prominently connected with the
Christian mission during the civil war
and his experience will assist him in
carrying out his plans. Besides deliv-
ering literature he intends to send
prominent evangelists to the camps to
carry on evangelistic work. Rev. j. c..
Dixon of Brooklyn and Mr.. Burke, the
we'll known singer, will go to Tampa.

spain,s Cabinet situation.

London, May 1.-THE Madrid corre-
spondent of the Times explaining the
cabinet situation says: 'Senor Mo-
ret's practical invitation to the cham
ber to declare what policy the country
desired to adopt has not met with gen.
eral approval, it being regarded as
Senior Silvela said Saturday, as a con-
fession of impotence on the govern
ment's part and a conversion of the
cortes into a convention and of the
cabinet into a mere executive commit
tee. Cabinet changes have become in
evitable, and the Carlists, republicans
and socialists are preparing to take ad-
vantage of any opportunity presenting
itself to make Moret chief. Meanwhile
they are careful to avoid producing an
impression of utilizing the national
calamities for their ends. Spain has
not forgotten the terrible sufferings of
the last Carlist war and does not de-
sire to begin another struggle of the
same kind"

CASE OF THE BRATsBORG.
The Norwegian Steamer That Tried to
Run the Blockade.

Key West, Fla, May 10.-The Norwe-
gian steamer Bratsborg, which arrived
this morning under the convoy of the
Mangrove, is still prize of war pend
ing the decision Of the United States
authorities on the question. The affair
bears many features of resemblance to
that of the French steamer Lafayette
but, like that case, it will be settled
without any International complica-
tions.
About two weeks ago the Bratsborg,
bound from Progreso, Mexico, for Ha-
vana with 800 head of cattle, was warn
ed off the Cuban coast by the blockad-
ing fleet. She put into this port and
remained a couple of days, when she
sailed ostensibly for New York to find
a market for the cattle. She was pilot
ed out of this harbor April 27 and was
not seen again until yesterday morning,
when the gunboat Newport sighted her
about twenty-five miles off Havana.
Captain Lilley observed that she was
apparently empty and he hailed and
boarded her. Captain Thorsen stoutly
denied that he was attempting to slip
past the blockade, but he could not sat-
isfactorily explain the disposition of his
cargo and was sent in here.
This was the only incident of the day.
There are very few ships in the harbor
and interest dwells entirely on the
movements of Admiral SIMPSONS fleet.
There is a great deal of sorrow over
the illness of Chaplain Chadwick, for
merly of the battleship Maine. He is
confined to the marine hospital with an
attack of erysipelas, but his condition
is not at all serious.

POWERS MAY URGE PEACE
Il FRIENDLY EFFORT TO INFLUENCE
SPAIN, LIKELY.
This as a Result of the Spanish Reverse
at Manila and the Futtlity OF Spain
Further Prosecuting the War--Win be
Occupation of Manila Until War In
demnity is Paid.

ueHhtty Is Eutus
Washington, May 1O.-As result of
the Spanish reversal in Manila leading
memb ars Of the diplomatic corps, repre-
senting some of the most influential of
the great powers of Europe, have un-
officially exchanged views on the oppor-
tuneness of movement, prompted by
the most friendly spirit, towards urg-
ing upon Spain the futility of further
prosecuting the war and inducing her
to sue for neace on the basis of the
a war indemnity and the occupation of
Manila by Admiral Dewey until the
war indemnity is paid. 1t was stated
tonight by one of the most influential
members of the diplomatic corps, an
ambassador, that such a step by Spain
was the logical result of the crushing
defeat at Manila and that Spain should
be the first to recognize it as a meas
ure for her own self protection. Her
best friends in the family of nations
ought to urge it upon Spain, this am
bassador said, and if it were not for
the chaotic condition of affairs at
Madrid he felt that such peace over
lures would be welcomed there.
This view was put forward only as
tentative and not as a move which the
European powers had actually begun;
but it indicates a new trend of feeling
among leading foreign representatives
in Washington. Their discussion has
been without advices from their own
governments, but it is said that Spains
plight is such that a movement on the
other side may begin at any time to-
wards inducing Spain to make terms
for closing the war. 1t is said that the
nations most friendly to Spain might
suffer almost as much as Spain herself
by prolonging the war and the ultimate
annihilation of Spain. At the same
time those powers most friendly to the
United States, particularly Great Brit
ain, would, it is believed, join in any
movement promising to restore the
peace of the world.
1t was stated positively at several Of
the embassies and legations to-day
that intervention in the sense of stay
ing the course of the United States
was no longer being discussed. The
military authorities connected with the
foreign establishments say that Ad-
miral Montojo and his entire staff of
officers ought to be and undoubtedly
will be court martialled for allowing
themselves to be surprised by Admiral
Dewey's fleet.

SPANISH FLYING SQUADRON
WASHINGTON RECEITES NEWS
THAT 1T rs At CADIZ.

On the Other Hand Advices From Lon
don Say There is No Confirmation of
Cadtz is Considered the Most Likely
M0vement-No News from Acting Rear
Admiral Sampson's FIeet-Interesting
News Expected Within Twenty-four
Hours.
Washington, May 10.--It is hard to
tell whether the naval officials were re-
came late this afternoon to both the
navy and state departments to the ef-
feet that the Spanish flying squadron
had arrived at Cadiz, Spain. The safe
ty of the Oregon from attack is now
completely assured, and the way is
clear for military operations in Cuba
without running the risk of having the
occupying army's line of communica-
ton cut off. On the other hand, it is
believed that no enduring peace can be
secured until the Spanish navy has
been destroyed and it now appears that
to do this our sailors must make up
their minds to go after the Spaniards,
task very much more difficult than
that of meeting them on the seas.
1t is suggested by the members of
the war board that there was a posi-
bility that the Spanish squadron might
make a quick passage into the Pacific
through the Suez canal and attack
Dewey at Manila. 1t is said that con-
trary to the common understanding,
the Suez canal is open to warships of
belligerent powers, so that if the Span
ish choose to take this course they
would have long start Of any pur-
suing fleet 1t is scarcely believed,
however, that the Spanish are willing
to take the risk of exposing to our at
tack their own home ports by the
withdrawal of 50 considerable Ior-
ton of their naval strength as would
be required to overmatch Dewey.
Nothing was heard from Sampson to-
day, but there is a confident expecta-
tion that interesting news will be COM
ing from his squadron within the next
twenty-four hours. Whether this
means an attack on Porto Rico or not
cannot be learned.
The regular army troops 90 not need
the protection of the fleet and can land
in Cuba at any time. An order was is
sued to-day for the concentration of
several troops at Mobile instead of at
Chickamauga, and this is construed to
mean that troops will be landed in Cuba
at an early date. The vessels to con-
vey them will assemble at various gulf
points. The transports will be obliged
to wait for arms at Tampa. The navy
insists that to insure the safety of
troops all ships should go in one fleet,
to start from Tampa, and the navy is
likely to prevail in this. Now that Ma
jor General Sewell has been assigned
to command the concentration camp at
Falls Church, preparations are being
rushed to put the grounds there in
shape for the reception of the volun-
teerS

Cornell Man Says That Contrary to Re.

Ithaca, N. Y, May 10.-A prominent
member of Cornelrs athletic council
said tonight that 1t is quite probable
that the Cornell ell-Yale-Harvard boat
race will be rowed, contrary to the re-
ports that an agreement on date
could not be reached. 1t is now expect
ed that all the parties will agree to row
either June "a or 25. Word from Har-
ward has been received at Cornell ask
ing that the date be put off until the
oath at least, and, if possible until the
26th, as examinations fall on the 23d at
Harvard. 1t is probable that COM
promise will be reached within few
days. The place for holding the Cor
nell-Pennsylvania- Columbia Wisconsin

Not Confirmed in London.

London, May 11.-There is no confirm
alton of the report that the Spanish
fleet from the Cape Verde Islands has
returned to Cadiz, but it is generally
regarded as the most likely movement
to be made and as an indication that
Spain has decided to let her West In
dian possessions go. The question is
generally asked, what possible use has
Spain for continuing a hopeless strug-
gle, as il is considered next to impossi-
BILE that she will win?

There was little done by the commit
tee aside from the hearing of testimo-
ny of two witnesses. General Schotield
was asked as to the debt of the islands
and replied that he thought about $2,-
100000 would cover it. Admiral Walker
concurred in the view expressed by
General Schofield. He said that the
expedition now being organized by the
government to go to the Philippines
would have to stop at Honolulu, and it
could not stop there if Hawaii was
neutral and that Hawaiian neutrality
would be extremely injurious to the
United States.
General Schotield said that if the ex-
pedition should have to go straight to
the Philippines the amount of extra
coal to be carried would displaoe cne-
third of the cargo. The explanation of
