VIEW OF THE BREAK a T THE GAIL.EGo MILLS

| yesterday morning, but no definite con.
ciuslons were arrived at, since il was
round impossible to even surmise the
| source of the catastrophe
The points that will have to be deter.
| mined are whether the citys cuIvert af-
lected the mill walls, or vice versa. and
| whether the action of Mr.. Isaacs. of the
| Chesapeake and Ohio railway. In declining
TO turn off the water from the canal on
Thursday, when advised TO do so by the
CITY Engineer, was not responsible for
the break. However, It is gratifying. al
least, to announce that the damage is far
lighter than was at first feared, and will
hardly be more than $4,000.
DAMAGE TO THE MILL.
Mr.. Charles l.. Todd said TO a Dispatch
reporter yesterday that the principal dam
age TO the mill will be in the wheel pits
and the foundation that the turbine wheel
rests upon, which will require masonry of
more or less difficulty and cost The VOL
ume of water started all the mill wheels
revolving, and, running without control or
direction, they did great deal Of damage.
The foundations Of the mill are very mas
sive, and little damage was done TO the
building, beyond that indicated above.
"Our principal damage outside the mill
that is visible" said Mr. Todd, Twill be
considerable. but as to the invisible dam
age we can only speculate and hope for
the best"
In the basement of the building the bot
tom tier of a number of sacks of mill-feed
on storage is submerged. 1t was feared
from the roar of waters on Saturday night
that the whole stock on this floor would
be total loss, but inspection yesterday
showed less than one-fourth of the stock
to be affected. The merchandise and grain
stored on the upper floors of the mil es-
capped absolutely.
WHAT OTHER FIRMS CLAIM.
Messrs. Slater. Meyers & Co. say their
damage will be very slight. A few things
only were wet.
The Eagle Paper Company is inclined
TO believe the loss very heavy, as q large
stock Of paper was in the cellars Of its
house.
Messrs. ]. d. Patton e. Co. had some
cases of licorce and some syrup dam
aged. Their stock In the cellar was not
very large. Messrs. James Turner & Son
sustained no damage.
Messrs. Whittle & Sydnor who had the
basement of their house filed with wash
boards. lamp chimneys. paper TASKS. bas-
kets, and a general line of woodward, es-
innate their loss at $500
Messrs. Harwood Brothers expect their
loss will be about 500 or 5000. They had
in their cellar lubricatlng oils, grease, and
compounds.
Messrs. f. II. Dean & Co. had one car
load of straw in the basement, which is |
more or less damaged, besides some wood |
and coal.
Mr.. Thomas r. Thompson said all his |
stock was high and dry" and Mr.. r. l.. |
Chenery's loss will be slight.

Honorable Sir,-The Cubans, old men.

are all dying of hunger. The young men
are all in the field with the Cuban troops,
and have not shoes, neither food. All the
provisions in this town are in the hands
or the Spaniards. Cubans cannot obtain a
piece of bread, as IT is necessary to send
everything to the field. The 'Weyler sys-
tenn is in the way. The situation is terri
Bile. II you, honorable sir, do not come
quickly, with your squadron, to our help
and take possession of this town, we shall
be lost. We beg you to precipitate your
operations. Otherwise, about five thou
die OF hunger in this town. Some OF these
old men have four or five sons fighting for
this islands freedom. II the great people

400 tons. Only short portion of her
stem is clear of water. which fills her
whole interior. Her sea-valves are open.

she lies is exceedingly shelving. forming
part, in fact, of the mountain which
there rises out Of the sea and towers aloft.
In short, all the conditions are present
which render the righting and raising of
the ship an engineering feat of large
proportions. At the same time, it is sim

| NEW YORK, July 25.-There were price
movements Of considerable Importance In
special stocks to-day. but the effect on
the general list was only slight. The early
heaviness in the railroads was to some ex-
tent corrected. and the level OF prices gen.

close. Outside OF the special cases refer
red to, however, the price movement was
Insignificant, and no large demand for
stocks was perceptible.
The most conspicuous stock in the days
| trading was Sugar, in which there was
| heavy buying, and prices advanced rapid
ly, under vigorous manipulation. Some Of
the Industrial stocks, which have recent
ly been the objects OF bear attacks, SYM
pathized in this rise, Peoples Gas and
Tobacco rising over a point. The Coalers
presented their own particular inducement
for shorts to cover, in the announcement
that Lackawanna had restored the 81 cut
in the price of anthracite at Chicago,
which was the occasion of the recent bear
raid against these stocks. Gains of to
points resulted all through the group.

The Situation


RICHMOND, VA, July 16, 1898.
With the fall of Santiago the
question of war is eliminated from
the market so far as Spain is con-
cerned.
1t daily becomes less probable
that the European Powers will
actually interfere in any way in
the final settlement. That they
will tender their good offices and
make diplomatic representations
is to be expected.
General conditions throughout
the country are excellent.
Cheap money is assured for
some time.
Never before have we occupied
in the eyes of the world so envia-
bic a position.
Experience and good informa-
ton have never been so valuable.
Ours is at your disposal.
