when asked today: What do you

No one can tell at this time. Events
adjust themselves. and. sometimes, in
a sudden and unexpected manner. The
situation will undoubtedly be taken
care OF as it arises, and I would not
like to venture an opinion in advance
of What would be done. l feel sure,
however. that there is no foundation
for the talk Of alleged European in
reference in whatever plan this gov
eminent may adopt for the Philippines.
l believe the unanimous protests of the
powers of Europe will be found to be
unauthorized reports that will not ma
terialize into anything definite. The
conduct of the German squadron at
Manila is subject to some criticism,
but their action, believe, will not so
beyond bounds. I do not think there
is any truth in the report of Europe
protesting against the sending of Com
modore Watson's fleet to the coast of
Spain. Such position would be I'M
tenable. This country is at war with
Spain, and we have a right to strike
her when and where we please. 1t re-

LIEUT.. HOBsON's VISIT.
1t May Result in Enlargement of
Plans to Save Cervera's SEsins,

Plans to Save Cervera's Ships.
WASHINGTON, July %. - Lieut..
Hobson's visit is expected to bring
about an enlargement of the plans for
saving the wrecked cruiser Cristobal
Colon and some Of the other stranded
ships of the Cervera squadron. The de-
partment had already acted on the
recommendation of Admiral Sampson.
but those coming by mail and tele-
graph were necessarily limited, while
the complete information brought by
Lieut. Hobson, based upon personal OBJ
servations and an expert knowledge of
conditions, enables the department to
get much more thorough idea of the
scope of this Wrecking project and the
possibilities of saving the ships. The
Colon is lying on a terraced beach, only
about One-half Of her hull being on
shore, while the other half is over
hanging in deep water 1t had been
found that the portion of the ship on
shore could be raised without much
difficulty but the overhang creates a
problem, as it causes a balance or lev

on that part of the hull ashore To
meet this it is now proposed to adopt
an engineering scheme on considerably
broader lines than the usual wrecking

air bags and pOntoons foated under
meath this overhang and gradually
buoying it up until the strain on the
shore end of the hull is relieved In
this way it is hoped that the work of
raising can proceed on the oVerhang
and on shore simultaneously, and that
the big steel hull thus can be brought
to an even keel and fioated
There were many inquiries among
the navy department today for Lieut..
Hobson, but he had departed last
night after his conferences with Secre-
tary Long and Commodore Hichborn,
of the construction bureau. 1t is prob
able that aside from the lieutenant's
explanation of the wrecking expedition
he expressed his preferences on the
question Of line of promotion which the
president and Secretary Long have in
view for him.
The department, probably, will exc
cute the enlarged wrecking projects at
once. The original plan left the wreck
ing largely with the company which
took the contract on per diem ar
rangement. Admiral SIMPSONS last
report stated that the wreckers We're
proceeding with all due dispatch The
visit of Lieut.. Hobson does not imply
any criticism on the wrecking methods
thus far employed, but it is rather for
the purpose Of developing them UP to
the requirements disclosed by expert
observations. The work is likely to re-
main in the hands of the wreckers,
they supplying the apparatus for the
enlarged engineering operations pro-
posed by the naval constructors.

MILLIONS IN GOLD.

One of the Largest tTRaifsfers Ever
Made Due to WAR Deans.
NEW YORK, Julyhgs. Aone Of the
largest transfers of gold ever made in
this city took place today, in which
100000 was transferred from the
clearing house to the subtfeasury. The
transfer was made by the clearing
house as the representative of the as
ISOLATED banks, and was the final pay
ment of deposits aggregating $16,00O,-
900. The amount represented the ex-
cess of deposits in banks by the gov
eminent on account of the new war
loan, for which the banks were unable
to deposit bonds with the treasury as
security. 1t was therefore necessary
to deposit the money in the treasury,
and in the absence Of sufficient legal
tender notes gold had to be used.

Gen. Wood Is Simply the Senior Of
ficer In Command.

ficer In Command,
WASHINGTON, July 23.-It is said
at the war department that Gen. Leon
ard Wood is not governor general of
Santiago as has been enormously re-
ported, and in fact there is no such
officer as governor general, or even
military governor. 1t is explained that
the status is as follows:
Gen. McKibbin, as senior officer Of
the detail Of American troops in San
tiago proper, was the commanding Of
ficer. He fell i'll, and, as Gen. Wood
was the second in rank. by virtue of
that fact he assumed command Of all
the American troops in Santiago City.
not very numerous according to Shat
ter's report. The garrison has been
kept down from a desire to minimize
the number Of men exposed to con-
tagion. 1t happens, fortunately for
Santiago, that Gen. Wood was a most
competent medical officer before his
transfer to the line, so that he is, above
all Of the officers with Shafter, best
qualified to relieve the city from the
unhealthful conditions that are said to
exist there, and to put it in good san
itary order. 1t is said to be surprising
how much can be accomplished by an
army officer acting with full powers in
this direction. The medical officers
here recall the fact that during the
Civil war, by the adoption of rigid san
itary precautions and insistence upon
keeping the city clean, Gen. Butler,
while in command Of the federal forces
at New Orleans, managed to exclude
yellow fever absolutely from that
place, while the other gulf ports suf-
fered severely.

$4,000, 000-Cash Reductions Due

NEW YORK, July 23.-The New
York Financier says Of the weekly
bank statement:
Since July the clearing house
banks Of New York city have reduced
the cash reserves over $4,000, 900. In
the same period. which embraces only
three weeks, they have increased their
loans 1000, 900, and their deposits have
fallen off about 100000. The cash
reductions have been due altogether to
operations with the treasury since the
movement from the interior still con-
tinues. The statement today, there
fore. in it's changes, shows the effect
Of financing the new loan, and as the
treasury has received in cash for small
subscriptions nearly or quite half the
loan, there seems to be no cause for
further disturbance in the money mar
ket. The allotments of s1000O0,0OO will
probably be financiered by extending
payments over a considerable period.

"The current statement shows the
first decrease in loans since the first
week in May. The loss appears to be
distributed well throughout the list, in
small amounts, and reflects probably
liquidation Of mercantile accounts. The
market for commercial paper is very
inactive, new obligations being less
than expiring maturities. The dis

the coming fall exports of grain, as any
considerable demand for money will

Dear Gen. Gordon: Your recent telegram in
behalf OF the United Confederate veterans
was very welcome, and 1 would have writ
ten to you before in acknowledgement ex-
cepting for the unusual demands upon my
time.
The present war has certainly served one
very useful purpose. in completely obliterat-
ing the sectional lines drawn in the last
one. The response TO the nations call to
arms has been equally spontan eous and pat
riotic in all parts of the country. Veterans
fighting side by side, winning equal honor ard
renown. Their brave deeds and the I'M
equalled triumphs Of our army and navy
have received the gratitude OF the people o.
the United States. To have such a hearty
commentator from yourself and your col
leagues of the work of this administration in
the conduct of the war and the pledge OF
whatever support may be needed to hefp IN
bringing 1t to successful completion, is IN
deed most gratifying; and l thank you espe-

OF the resolutions passed and forwarded 10

yours. William Mckinley"
