ITS SANCTION IS GIVEN
Egyptian Government Will Let Camara
Coal His Fleet.
The Spanish Admiral VIII Leave His
t. Torpedo R0ats at Port
Said.

PORT SAID, Jun, 30, 2:l0 , rn.-The Egyp-
tian government this afternoon gave its
sanction to the Spanish fleet coaling from its
own transports. and the warships are now
engaged in the work of taking coal on
board. The Isla de Luzon, with a cargo of
coal, has arrived here.
The Egyptian government had previous
ly prohibited the Spanish fleet from taking
on board any more than coal enough to
enable it to return to Spain.
1t Is reported that the admiral will leave
his torpedo boats here.
LONDON, June 30.--It was learned this
afternoon that the Egyptian government
had decided to notify Admiral Camara that
the continued presence of the Spanish fleet
at Port Said is in violation of neutrality
and that the warships muss leave.
All the Coal. Bought.
While not abating its close watch over
the Cadiz fleet, the Navy Department does
not feel the same degree Of apprehension
respecting the movements Of those ships as
it did when the start was made for Port
Said. The government has done everything
possible within fair lines to prevent this
fleet from reaching the Philippines, and the
agents of the State Department have been
particularly successful in this work. Unit
ed States Consular Agent Broadbent has
just made a masterstroke, which he reports
to the department While the Spanish ships
were seeking permission of the Egyptian
government to take coal at Port Said, the
consular officer succeeded in quietly buying
up all the coal available at that port. This
amounted to 10000 tons, and it is in good
place to be shipped to Dewey; to serve as
base Of supplies for Commodore Wat
sons eastern squadron, when 1t enters the
Mediterranean, or to coal any American
vessels that may pass through the Suez
canal bound to the Asiatic station If it
should be decided that 1t is permissible for
warships to take on coal at Port Said.
The news that reached the department
through the press reports that Admiral
Camara is about to leave his torpedo boat
destroyers at Port Said because they would
be unable to weather the :fnonsoons that
rage in the Indian ocean at this season is
believed at the Navy Department to
the abandonment of the cruise to the Phil
ippfnes. As these torpedo, boat destroyers
have proved their ability to cross the At
lantic in bad weather, it is conJectured at
the department that the real reason for
turning them back is one that is almost
chronic in the Spanish navy. namely,
breakdown of the delicate machinery of
the war craft. Leaving cut the three tor
pedo boat deetroyers. Audaz, Proserpina
and Ortez, there is very little left in the
squadron Of an offensive character aside
from the battle ship Pelayo and the cruiser
Carlos ". At any rate, the dropping of the
destroyers will weaken Caramas squadron
so materially as to make his defeat by
Dewey foregone conclusion II they should
come together

General Lawtons Headquarters, Five
Miles East of Santiago de Cuba, Wednes-
day, June % pm, via Kingston, ia
maica, Thursday, June 30, a.m.-The
American officers generally expect
movement today to capture Caney (of-
fcially spelled FL Gauey, which is q
short five miles northeast of Santiago.
This, however. is not official. Such move
may draw the Spaniards in force from San
tiago; but in view of their previous re-
treats when our army might have been Sc
riOusly harrassed on the march, an aggres-
sive move upon the part OF the Spaniards Is
considered unlikely.
The American troops spent yesterday in
feeling for the enemy, otherwise engaging
in reconnoisances.
General Shafter in person, with small
escort, went almost to Caney, connected
with Santiago de Cuba by railroad.
Lieutenant Standing and detail of Gu
bans and American sharpshooters occu-
ped a small hill northwest of the Ameri-
can lines and looking directly down on both
Caney and Santiago.
Nearly Evacuated Ii.
Caney now seems to hold only about 800
Spanish troops, the number reported by
the Cuban scouts, In spite of the belief
of the Americans first here that the 5000
Spaniards driven forward by our advance
on Baiquiri and Jaragua had all retreated
on Caney and not on Santiago. The small
number of troops now at Caney indicates
that the Spaniards have practically evacu-
ated the place, and this Is believed to be
the case
Lieutenant Standing was not molested
during his observation, though he passed
through a camp which twenty-four hours
previously had been occupied by a strong
Spanish outpost.
Corporal Hucht OF Company d, 9TH
United States Infantry who, with seven
men, was sent on outpost duty two miles
from Santiago de Cuba yesterday morn
Ing. and who was forgotten until the af-
ternoon. was found by General Shafter and
sent into camp. The men considered the
whole affair good joke. They had re-
peatedIy seen the Spaniards. who did not
offer to molest them. and the Americans
spent the day IL enjoying a picnic in
the woods. The corporal said that if he
had with him sufficient force he could have
brought in forty Spanish prisoners.

THE STOCK MARKET
Trading Is Marked by Tone Of
Irrecliiarity


New York Oct. 3l-Trading in the stock
market today was characterized by some
irreguIarity There was active specula-
tion in the industrial shares, which were
nearly all very strong. In the railway
list the tone was uncertain throughout.
The line showing for September by st.
Paul favorably affected that stock tenn
porarily the general market acting as
an offset to the disappointment in Bur
lington.
The market was steady at the opening.
The pronounced weakness in Northern
Pacific was feature of the market later.
The room had further rumors Of Internal
friction in the management, but more
reasonable explanation might be proffered
in the seriously disturbed financial situa-
ton in Berlin. Foreign houses were not
heavy sellers in this market and their
sales were largest in Louisville and Nash
VILE and Southern Railway preferred,
which were among the markets strong-
est features. Late cabled advices re-
ported, however, rather pronounced
weakness on the European stock markets,
with good deal of pressure apparent in
government issues.
The most striking features of the mar
ket were the industrials and the special-
lists. in which there were some sharp
rises Conspicuous features We're Amert-
can Tobacco. the Federal Steel shares,
Tennessee Coal and Iron. Pullman and
Minnesota Iron. Sugar Refining, which
was only moderately active, was firm,
probably in sympathy with the other in
dustrial shares.
In the final dealings there were general
recessions in prices, partly on profit
realizing sales and partly on dispatches
setting forth that foreign political and
! financial affairs were taking an acute
| and threatening shape. The market
