warning In the very buoyant toae as
sumed by American securities on for
e!sn exchanges and who had In mind
the sad experiences OF the shorts OF last
Monday. Upon the execution Of this
mass OF orders at the opening prices
promptly sold off again. The decline
was arrested when rather more than
n half OF the advance had been wiped
ed out Transactions for the remainder
OF the day were small and fluctuations
were narrow outside a few special cases
and there was little OF interest or I'M
portance In the stock market. Notwith-
standing the later weakness net gains OF
from one TO over two points were saved
for nearly all the active stocks. The
opening jump In prices was in sym
pathy with the buoyancy OF Americans
in foreign exchanges where the report
cd mediation OF the pope between the
United States and Spain was viewed as
OF the utmost Importance. This import
auce was enhanced by the fact that the
reports given out from Spanish sources
had Il that the 2ope's mediation was Of
fc.cd al the request OF the United
States. The sentiment for peaceful ad-
justment which found expression in
many pulpits in this country at Sun
days religious services tended 70 give
color to the peaceful outlook. Profess
sionai stock traders who we're after the
bears scalps were also very busy dis
seminatlng nm allegation that President
Mckinley had determined 10 cmbody 4
Recommendation against war or forci-
BILE intervention In Cuba In his forth
coming message. The early view. It was
soon believed. had exaggerated the pos
sibIlities OF peace. The official denial
from Washington that the pope had
been accepted rs a mediator between
the United States and Spain was potent
In dispclling this view. Expressions by
men In Washington who are strenuous
for firm action on the Cuban question,
and who expressed their contcntmert
with assurances given them after hav-
Ing seen the President indicated the
purpose OF the administration to insist
upon Cuban independence. Notwith-
standing these later revlsions OF opinion,
the active measure taken by the pope
was felt to offer n possible means OF in
%flucnclng Spain TO yield to the demands
OF the United States, especially MS the
opinion OF the Vatican heretofore re-
ported inclined favornbly toward the
granting of Cuban independence. This
constituted the sustaining force which

OF fl SPANISH RETREAT.
Efforts to shape Events so as to Capture
 Snnnish Army.

Washington, July 1.-The military authorities here are fully considering the chances of a retreat of the Span ish army from Santiago and are en- deavoring to shape events so that Gen eral Shafters forces will not only take Cantiago, but also capture the 12,000 and join General Pando's army. Full information as to possible lines of re- treat has been placed at the disposal of the war department. One of the most interesting statements is that General Manager Cox of the Spanish-American
 Mining company at Baiquiri, who is thoroughly acquainted with all the country surrounding Santiago.
 He says that the two possible lines of retreat are: First, by the road to Fl
 Cohre; second, by following the line of Sabanillo and Narato railroad. The first line will be easy for about the first
 ten miles as far as Fl Cobre, but after that the country is mountainous and barren and would not afford subsist- ence and the pass to reach the central
 plateau of the island would be difficult. The more likely line of retreat would
 be along the line of the above mention ed railroad crossing the Sierra Maestro
 at Fl Chisto, a pass 600 feet above the
 sea, ten miles south of Santiago, which is the lowest pass through the Sierras.
 The road from Santiago to Caney is fairly good being wide enough for he- hicles.
 Between Clancy and Escandelo, which | is no more than a trail, ascends the | mountains, and is very winding and
 broken. Beyond Escandol across the | range the country is heavily timbered and broken and the roads are not good. | It is an ideal country for ambush. This | is probably the only pass through which | the Spanish position could be turned should the Spanish troops occupy the | Crytal plateau and pass. The railroad | has been fortified by line of block houses, protecting bridges and certain
 zones of cultivation inclosed between i these forts have been planted during all the time of the war and would af- | taintime. In the meanwhile sweet po- l tatoes could be planted which in three
 months would ripen. These zones of
 cultivation exist as far as San Luis, at which point there is considerable coun-
 try in cultivation. On the other hand

the city, and the Americans are now occupying the entrenchments and awaiting only the dawn to resume the great battle, which will result, 1t IS confidently believed by the war officials, in the fall of Santiago before Sunday night and perhaps before nightfall to- day.
 Adjutant General Corbin said '"fhe old bull dog (referring to General Shafter) Is lying right there with ms teeth in their neck awaiting the com ing of daylight to finish the work. The engagement yesterday was very heavy for a preliminary fight, but 1t scores a decided victory for us. I regret to know that Shafter has sustained so heavy a loss, but we may hope that there are not many killed. It is, how ever, probably certain that the loss ot an army in an engagement like that of yesterday where the battle line eX- tended over several miles will be much heavier as is indicated by the first re- port. It is impossible, in cases where the battle has ragged all day and until dark, to ascertain with definiteness the loss sustained"

JORDAN DEFEATS DIXON.
Gets Decision After rTyventy-hve Rounds
 of Hard Fighting.

New York, July 1.--Ben Jordan of. England after fighting twenty-five hard rounds with George Dixon, the colored| champion, was awarded the honors by Referee Charley White tonight at the Lenox Athletic club. Both boys put up a splendid fight and there was little to choose between them. If anything, Dixon seemed to have somewhat the better of the entire bout and was de- cidedly stronger and more effectiv4 than when he met Eddie Santry of Chi-s cago a few weeks ago in the same ring Jordan had a shade the better of hfsS opponent in regard to height and reach and 1t was announced that he weighed 122 pounds, while Dixon turned the scales at 117 1-2 pounds.
 Dixon as usual did the leading, but unlike many of those who had previ-1 ously met the little colored fighter, Jor-s dan went to him and mixed 1t Up all the time. Several times Jordan used his elbow at close quarters, but the ref cree contented himself with cautioningl the Britisher. Once or twice Jordan hit Dixon rather low on the body, but Dix on made no protest. Many of those who watched the work of both thought3 that draw would have been a satis- factory decision.
 Dixon took the adverse verdict st0l-s cally. He had the good will and sym pathy of every one in his defeat, as the ringing cheers which greeted him as he left the ring attested. Jordan, with the exception of a nose bleed and q few red marks on his body, did not show any signs of having gone thr1igh a hard fight.

MEETING OF THE GARNET.
snnttago's Fall Expected Any Moment
 Germany,s Attitude in PhfIfppfnes

Washington, July 1.-AT'he sentiment at the cabinet meeting to-day was that there was a strong possibility that the fall of Santiago might be announced at any time now. Assurance was given at to-day's session of the cabinet of the expectation of the administration that Germany would not interfere at Manila. There was some discussion on this point. but both the president and Secretary Day said they had received assurances that there was no unfriend- ly action contemplated on the part of the German empire. They believed there was no foundation for the re- ports of the unfriendly attitude of Ger many and of radical steps contemplat- ed by that government. The adminis- tration has much confidence In the judgment and tact of both Admiral Dewey and General Merritt. The lat est advices, it was reported to the cabinet were that Admiral Camara' s Spanish fleet would proceed through the Suez canal on It's journey to the Philippine islands. This, however, is discounted by previous expectations and preparations and there Is confi- dence in the arrival of the Monterey, the Monadnoch and the Charleston off Manila before Camara can possibly reach there.

SPANISH TRTCEERY OF NO ATATL No Attention VIII be Paid to Red Cross Flags in Line of Fire

[Copyright 1898, The Associated Press
 General Rents Headquarters, Near Aguadores, June 30, 3 p. m. (via Port Antonio, July ITO meet the dastard- ly action of the Spaniards in proms- cuously displaying the Red Cross flag in the line of fire 1t has been deter mined that no attention will be paid to the flags so long as they are close up to what it Is believed will be the line of fire. Much work has been done on the roads in this vicinity. The heavy rains placed them in bad con- dition, and it was almost impossible to transport artillery and teams over them. Crowds of Cuban refugees from Santiago filed along the roads to-day and all told the same story--the city is short of food. They say the Span- iards rely mainly on the entrench- ments in front of the city, the guns inside of it being of little use. The Cubans also say the Spaniards are ter rified at the approach of the American troops and the refugees predict that they will make but short defense.

Ordinance Committee Hearing.

The committee on ordinances last night held public hearings on the pro- posed amendment to electric car ordi- nance to provide that no electric car shall stand or pass over any street crossing within two rods of any other car which is on parallel track and the petition for amendment to ordi- nance regarding hacks and public con- veyances so that there may be no im- proper and unjust discrimination. The board then adjourned to meet again on the night when the board of aldermen holds it's next meeting, probably on next Wednesday on Thursday night, the regular meeting night coming on the night of the Fourth.

ST. PAUL ARRIVES.
Her Exploit in Disabling SpanisETor-
 pedo Boat Terror.


 New York, July 1.-The St. Paul ar rived here tonight. She left Mole St. Nicholas last Tuesday and comes here for coal, ammunition and stores, and also to have some slight repairs made to her starboard engine. The St. Paul s exploit in disabling the Spanish torpedo boat Terror off the harbor of San Juan, Porto Rico, is told in the ''St. Paul War Budget" the journal printed on the ship When the cruiser Isabel IT. came out of the harbor of San Juan at about noon of June 22, covering the Terror from sight, the Spaniards thought that it was the St. Louis, known to have a small armament, which was going to be met. Crowds gathered along the har- Dor wall to see the fight. The engage 1nent lasted little over half an hour. The St. Paul fired about 190 shots, three of them hitting the Terror, putting a hole through, smashing one of her en- zines, killing the chief engineer and another man, taking off the legs of a third and wounding five others. So badly was the Terror injured that small vessels were lashed to her sides to pre- vent her sinking while a tugboat lowed her in.
