THE SUSPENSE NOW OVER
Actual War the Theme of Throngs on the
Streets.
Patriotic Emblems Flung to the
Breeze ON Every Side-Prep-
aratiOns for Action.

Washington had more Of a holiday ap-
pearance today than that indicating that
the residents of the capital were thrilling
in every fiber under the terrible suspense
of waiting to hear news from the front"
Although operations SO far have been con-
fired solely to water. the phrase from the
front" lust now is heard more frequently
than any other.
Patriotism IL undoubtedly the predomi-
nant characteristic OF the crowd on the
streets today. Everybody appears to be
glad that he or she is an American citizen.
a resident of that country whose watch
word is liberty. and which is willing and
ready to espouse the cause Of another coun-
try which is downtrcdden and oppressed
It is easy to see that the hearts of all are
in the conflict. No expressions OF regret
are heard.
II knew 1t was coming, and am glad the
gauntlet has been taken up. / am only
sorry that 1t did not come sooner, but
suppose, for reasons best known. It was
averted until now"
That was the way one patriot. standing In
front of The Star office. expressed himself.
The rumor that the American liner Paris
had been captured served to throw a damp
err on the crowd. 1t was not believed that
tho ship had BEEN captured, and q senti-
ment was expressed by one man. who was
evidently bit Of a philosopher. as follows:
ut is not going to be plain sailing all
through in more ways than one We have
got to hear bad news some time during tbs
continuation Of the war. and We might a.

The day, In fact, has been unusually quiet
at headquarters. Gan. Harries departed
early in the morning. and the understand
Ing was that he had gone to the White
House. He had not returned to his office
late this afternoon. Col. Heyl. the adju-
tant general, saw all callers, but was not
in a position to give out any information
that was at all startling. Routine business
was transacted as usual. II could not be
learned what organizations would be called
out II the War Department should direct
Gen. Harries to furnish 400 or 500 men,
A rumor reached headquarters through q
company officer that it had been decided to
call for a company Of the LIST Battalion;
Companies A and C, I'd Battalion, and
Company D, 4th Battalion, with Maj. Bur-
ton r. Ross, LIST Battalion, In command.
There was no way Of verifying this runor,
and the superstition Is that 1t has no foun-
dalton In fact.
The expectation at headquarters Is that
orders will be received from the War De-
partment some time this afternoon or even
ing. Gen. Harries will then take the neces-
sary steps to comply fully with the re-
Quirements.
ADpointnents and Transfers.
Late orders issued from headquarters pro-
vide:
For the appointment OF Leigh H. French
az inspector Of rife practice. 9Th Battal-
len. with the rank OF 1rst lieutenant.
For the discharge Of Captain J. 8. Hos
ford. Company B. 4th Battalion. because Of
disability.
For the appointment Of Richard L. Lamb
az sergeant on the general non-commis-
stoned stan.
For the transfer Of First Lieutenant
Francis J. Woodman. surgeon, from the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1898-04-23

The feeling of disappointment reached a
climax when, shortly after 10 o'clock, an
order from headquarters was conveyed to
every company commander to at once put
an end to the work of recruiting. that was
actively in progress when the original or
ders were received. The large number of
applicants who appeared after the ord or
was received had their names recorded in
order that they may be called on if need Of
their services should be felt hereafter With
the order to cease recruiting was the an
nouncement that no further issue of equip
ment was to be made.

four Of the best vessels recently purchased
by the navy. Notifications were sent this
morning to the militia Of New York tc
man the Yankee. to the militia Of Mary

Michigan to man the Yosemite. and to the
militia OF Massachusetts to man the
Prairie. These vessels are now being rap
idly provided with light armor over the
boilers and machinery. and the militiamer
are directed to report Immediately.
Gen. Lees Probable Position.
Although not admitted at the War De-
partment, 1t is generally believed that
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee will be appointed q
major general of volunteers. under The bill
signed by the President yesterday, and
that Algernon sartorls, a grandson of Gan
Grant, will be 2 member Of the staff OF
Gen. Lee. Such an arrangement would pre-
sent the unique spectacle Of the grands ell
of the commanders fn-chief of the Union
army during the, ciYil war fighting under
the orders Of the nephew OF the command
er-fn-ch.ef Of the confederate forces. Mr..
Sartoris Is said to be quite anxious to
serve under Gen. Fee, and there is nc
doubt that his wishes will be gratifed in
case the general Is given a command.
Gen. Lee Is now In Richmond, but 1t is
expected that he will be In this city by
Monday. In an interview yesterday he
said: or
Il don't know who shall take with me
II 60 to Cuba. but in the event that I
have to select q stan, 1 shall certainty
confine my appointments. all things being
equal, to the members of my old stan and

Financial.

| New York, August 27.-The Evening Posts London financial cablegram says:
 Considering the settlement is to begin on Monday next, the stock market here to- day was decidedly firm.
 Americans are notably strong, the feature being the rise in Wabash, Union Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande shares. It is ex- pected the settlement will show much larg CT receipts in Americans, the amount car ried for Berlin being decidedly large. Con- -tenagoes, however, probably will be light, because of easy money. The strength of Brazils and Argentines continues.
 Silver is lower It is said in good quarters that the Spanish orders have come to an end for the present, Spain having bought over 900 in silver. So much specula- lation is going on in silver, however, that all reports are unreliable.
 The rise in New York money rates, the weakness of New York exchange and m crease of supply of American bills are vis- ibly affecting the London money market, whose tone was again today firm.

Paine, Murphy & Co.'S Stock Letter

Birmingham, August H.-Lonton prices came strong, with reported liberal demand for Americans, especially the Union Pacific issues, which advanced sharply under enor- mons transactions. Speculative interests have centered in this low price security. and there is every indication of much higher prices. The unusually large trade of yesterday should cause temporary halt in prices to give the market a chancs to digest this unusual amount of stocks, prior to another upturn. Outside orders aocumu- lating over Sunday should cause higher opening for Monday. Prices closed with good demand. The Gould stocks continued dull, with Nttle doing.
