mnnd Largely Increased Rates.
New York, April 23-Advices from
London 10 Chubb & Co. marine under
writer's of this city reported a panic to-
day in rates for war risks among the
English companies. Nearly al the local
underwriters reported material advances
in their rates. owing 10 the scare occa-
stoned by the capture of the two Spanish
steamers by the American warships and
the reported capture of American yes
sells by Spanish men-Of-war. In general
the schedule showed an advance of Is
per cent to II per cent over the rates OF
yesterday.
Regarding the reported capture of the
American clipper ship Shenandoah. D. b.
Dearborn. who had charge Of her insur-
ance. said that he did not believe it. He
said she was the only important Ameri-
can ship due in Liverpool at this time
and inquiry for her safety had probably
given rise to rumors of her capture She
carried no insurance against war risks
and would be total loss if captured.
There was considerable excitement over
the capture of the Spanish steamers Pc
dro and Buena Ventura. The latter's
cargo was insured against the peTils of
war in an English company by an Ameri-
can agent operating by cable.
The captures and reported captures re-
suited in an immense increase in the
number of applications for war tnsur-
ance. All the underwriters had their

STOCK MARKET EXCITED
Impressions Concerning Cuba Lead
to a Semi Panic.
All Values Declining-Big Ope
Making Sa SaIes-Fa1i of Over Two
Cents In Sugar.

New York. Feb. 21.--The stock market
Is in the throes of a semi-panic today.
Values have tumbled from the start and
a decline ranging from l to points has
occurred. The floor of the exchange was
a scene of excitement and dealings were
on an active scale.
There was no apparent reason for the
feverishness, except the growing belief
that the Cuban situation is nearing a cri-
sis. Several of the big operators are SELL
ing the market with great confidence
and 1t is thought they have an intimation
of some coming event that will directly
affect stocks. Bankers predict that
money will go TO 3 and per cent before
the end of the week
The late rally in London was entirely
without effect. Sugar fell over ? per
cent. and the general list declined ! per
cent and over. There was little support
10 values and numerous stop orders were
uncovered.
Government bonds were unchanged.
