Consults Leading II nauciers Concerning
Present Conditions and Outlook.
New York, April 27.-secretary of the
Treasury Gage was in this city to-day
During the morning he was in confer
ence with Assistant Treasurer Jordan
and leading financiers. The secretary
refused to talk as to the purpose of the
conferences Later conference was
held at the sub-treasury between Sec
retary Gage and j. A. Stewart, presi-
dent of the United States Trust compa-
ny; j. S. Fairchild, president of the
New York Security and Trust compa-
ny; President Tappan of the Gallatin
National bank, the president OF the
Park National, President Simmons of
the Fourth National, President Cannon
of the Chase National, President
Woodward of the Hanover National
bank, President Fisk Of Fisk & Son,
August Belmont Charles III. Custer and
r. A. Bacon, representing J. P. Morgan
& Co.
Secretary Gage after the conference
consented to be interviewed. He said
he had thought it wise while in this
city to hear what the leading financiers
might have to say concerning the pres
ent condition of things and the outlook.
He was also desirous, he said, OF get
ting their views on the financial meas
ures now before congress. All the
gentlemen present at the conference" !"
continued Mr.. Gage, Expressed kind
ly interest in the popular features of
the contemplated measures, and SO far
as was necessary and proper they Of
fered their cooperation in making the
bond issue a popular loan" The sec
retary said that he was not in favor of
raising any issue at the present time
calculated to cause discomfort among
those holding opposite views. There
were no differences Of opinion on this
point" continued Mr.. Gage. "All side
issues are to be sunk and all hands will
get together and help sustain the credit
and dignity of the country"
The money stringency was discussed,
according to Mr.. Gage, and nothing
definite was decided on the matter of
placing our bonds in the European
markets. 1t was admitted by Mr.. Gage
that some of the financiers thought
that the rate of interest of new bonds
ought not to be less than three and a
half per cent, but most of them, he
said, were satisfied with three per
cent. bond. The sinews of war, as now
provided, are ample for even an extra
ordinary contingency. The actual and
prospective resources of the treasury
are $500, 600 900. The secretary said he
had taken into consideration the prob
able falling off in the internal and GUS
toms receipts. He thought that $780,
O00 900 would fully meet any difficulty
from the latter quarter.

patch boat Dauntless, via Key West,
April 27.-4 p. m.-The flagship New
York spent last night patrolling the
post from point west of Havana to
within ten miles of Matanzas on the
east. General belief is that the cream
of the prizes has been taken and that
not many Spanish vessels will venture
into these waters. The Associated
Press dispatch boat Dauntless left the
fleet to return to Key West on her third
round trip since last Friday, at half
past seven this morning in the teeth of
a 25-knot gale.
An interview was had with Rear Ad-
niral Sampson in the admiraIs cabin
on the flagship yesterday morning.
While not so reticent as when president
of the Maine court of inquiry the rear
admiral nevertheless insisted that moth

insofar as he expressed satisfaction
with the conduct of the blockade. He

or a few thousand of the rebels does
not affect the virtue of the race, and
they haughtily add that the Philippines
will prove worthy of Spain.
"The governor of the Philippines has
issued several proclamations. One re-
quires all able-bodied Spaniards to en-
roll themselves for military service and
accords permission to foreigners to join.
Exemption is granted to all American
citizens. One extraordinary proclama-
ton has excited great distrust here. 1t
asserts that the American people are
composed of all social excrescences,
who have exhausted our patience and
provoked war with their perfidious
Vaccinations, their acts of treachery
and their outrages against the law OF
nations and international conventions
The proclamation proceeds to say: "A
squadron, manned by foreigners pos
sessing neither instruction nor dlsci-
pline, comes to this archipelago with
the ruffianly intention of robbing us of
all, that means life, honor and liberty.
The aggressors shall not profane the
tombs of your fathers. They shall not
crafty their lustful passions at the
cost of your wives and daughters.
They shall not cover you with dishonor
or appropriate the property your in
dustry has accumulated as provision
for your old age. They shall not per
petrate any of the crimes inspired by
their wickedness. Because your valor
and patriotism will suffice to punish
this miserable people, which, claiming
to be civilized and cultivated, have ex-
terminated the unhappy natives of
North America, instead of bringing to
them the light of civilization and prog
ress.' -

Key West, April 27.-Incoming boats

unchanged and all peaceful about the

came from Cardenas, however, on good
authority that the torpedo boat Foote,
which drew fire from the Matanzas
batteries a few days ago, was fired on
again yesterday by three gunboats and
two torpedo boats that were laying
mines in Cardenas harbor. The cruis-

after a mysterious gunboat Monday
night. A torpedo boat reported Span
