New York, May 21.-The stock mar

al operators in their efforts to shape
their course in speculation. The re-
suit has proved that the supply of
stocks in the street is not large and
that prices cannot be moved very far
in either direction.
This means that the present level of
prices is regarded as fairly rejecting
the factors in the outlook that make
for prosperity and as fairly discount
ing, also, the possibility of a reverse to
the United States naval force. This
possibility is considered remote by all
observers and is a purely negative fac

Practical Application of Proverb.

Whether on business or pleasure bent,
or sport claims you as one of it's votar-
les, the New York Central affords all,
and more than all, the best. In road
bed. in safety of mechanical cOntriV
ances, in the elegance and comfort of
it's coaches, in the creature comforts of
its dining and sleeping cars, it is I'M
surpassed and indispensable. Its man
agement is modest in claiming that
the rumble of the Empire State EX-
press is heard round the world" They
might, with justification have claimed
that its praises are so heard A jour
ney in this, the fastest regular train in
the world is marked as a red-letter day
in the memory of the oldest traveller;
and in many a book of "reminiscences
the New York Central has received the
recognition that is its due. No travel
er, be he native born or foreign, who
has passed over this greatest of Amer
lean railroads but who is willing to give
it unstinted need of praise; indeed, few
wait for inspiration to do so. Safe
bind, safe find is a proverb that, in
railroad matters, its management has
studied we'll and applied practically.
The public records attest it--Outing.

Release Derelict Hulks to Trick the

New York, May 21-A dispatch to the
Herald from Key West says: That
fertile Spanish brain which has been
the blockading ships within point blank
adopting a new expedient to destroy
warships.
1.-The latest device is the sending
adrift of hulks made to resemble tor
pedo boats, after first loading them
with dynamite, in the hope that Ameri-
can ships would ram them in the dark
ness Several of these hulks have been
sent out of the harbOr.
lone was sighted two mornings ago
off Cardenas by the tug Hudson. 1t
was lying motionless and appeared to
be a torpedo boat. 1t had two tunnels
and a gun over each bow. Signalling
the tug Leyden, that looks like one,
the Hudson steamed down and the
Leyden went along. The tugs opened
fire at 5000 yards, and one of the shots
knocked off smoke stack, which
proved to be a wooden structure, for 1t
flew into splinters. Satisfied that the
boat was merely a derelict huIk, the
two tugs ceased firing.
"A similar hulk was sighted by the
Wilmington the next day. This also
was rugged up so that it would appear
at even a shorter distance to be tor
pedo boat destroyer. The Wilmington
blazed away and sunk the hulk. AS it
was sinking the forward part of. the
craft was blown out, and cans contain
ing explosives were picked up after the
wreck sank. These facts were reported
to Commodore Watson.

the case with the German colony and the

from Berlin.
