The market continued to be most un-
satisfactory yesterday, showing no ae-
tivity or initiative after the first few
moments and no advance in prices. The
probability of this condition, pointed out
IN this column yesterday, was all fully
verified. There was almost no commits
sion buying, and the little business that
was done was almost wholly manipu-
lative work by the cliqueS in few
shares In the first hour there was some
covering by shorts induced apparently
by the news from Madrid that the Span
ish cabinet is ready to sue for peace.
Even this support soon fell away when
nothing further was received from that
city confirmatory of the early dispatches.
There is nothing new to say of the rea-
son for this dullness on change in the
face of American victory. The market
has been bought in advance, and there
is disposition to believe that prices are
sufficiently high. Apparently there is no
great faith In the talk of peace, as yet
in the Street, though London continues
to speak on the subject. The yellow
fever reports are most encouraging and
that fact makes another argument that
the Street is in no mood to buy. The
advice generally heard is TO wait before
buying, but not to SELL The general i'm
preston seems to be that while the boom
may not come for some weeks, it is cer-
tain In the end.

MILES ASSUMES COMMAND.
All Troops in Province Included In
Demand for Surrender.

All Troops in Province Included In
Demand for Surrender.
Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.
PLAYA del Este, Guantanamo Bay, July
1S.-Maj. Gen. Miles to-day assumed com
mand of the army around Santiago, and
the future movements of the United States
troops will be directed by him in person.
The armlstice, which had been declared,
pending negotiations for the surrender of
the Spanish forces, viii expire at noon
Thursday, and unless the demands. of the
Americans are acceded to by that time, a
general attack will be made, the fleet
bombarding the city from outside the
harbor.
1t is believed, however, that tomorrow
morning, and perhaps before then, white
flag will be flying from the fortifications.
The terms of surrender insisted upon by
the American commander take In not only
the beleaguered Spaniards in Santiago,
but the whole province of Santiago de
Cuba, including the garrsons at Manza-
milo, Holguin, Guantanamo and Baracao.
The United States, on it's part, agrees to
send the Spanish troops back to Spain
and to allow their officers their side arms
No other concessions viii be granted.

er vessel and he was brought here, where
the local iunta VIII care for him
The sailors Of two American ships made
up a liberal money subscription for him
and gave him some new clothing.
Blanco says the living conditions In Ha-
vana are constantly growing worse, the
greatest distress necessarily falling on the
Cubans. because nearly all the food Is
seized for the troops OF those there are
about 7O0C0 in the city, consisting OF vol-
unteers, mobhiZed troops militia and reg
ulars. Their rations are largely rice and
beans, without even bacon. Jerked beef,
Blanco says, sells for 30 cents a pound
bread of a poor quality for 50 cents, lard
81, meat IS cents, corn meal IS cents and
rice 80 cents. Sharks food is eagerly
sought, and the day before Blanco left
the city one shark caught in Havana har-
Dor sold for $3.50.
Those of the reconcentrados, who have
sufficient influence with the dispensing au-
thoritles, sometimes contrive TO get one
wretched meal a day, but the others
starVe, and II Is no uncommon thing, says
Blanco, TO see persons drop dead in the
streets.
Even among the Spaniards starvation is
rapidly sapping their loyalty, and large
numbers OF men are banding together
awaiting the tfrsts American attack on
Havana as a signal for revolt.
Inc grocery and provision stores are
empty Only liquor Is TO be had oheaply.
Work is continued on the defenses with
tireless vigor. Two lines of cable bearing
torpedoes have been strung across the har-
Dor from the city side to Moro castle.
and the same has been done In the bay of
Mariel, where, IL was reported in Havana,
American troops are to be landed. Sand
battery No ?, east of Havana, has lately
mounted 6-inch guns in the extreme east
ern side of the battery commanding the
coast line, and a few days ago sent two
shots at the Mayfower, which had been
cruising close to the shore, supposedly out
OF range. New masked batteries are also
being built along the shore.
Blanco further reports that three weeks
ago the Spanish steamers Montevideo and
Santo Domingo crept out of the harbor at
midnight with all lights out and safely
got through the blockade. The Spanish
ships now in the harbor. he says, are the
gunboats Conde de Venetlo Marqulse de
la Ensenada, Nueva Espana, Filipinas and
Nanez Pinzon several of which are unht
for service.
The guns have been removed from the
cruiser Alfonso XII and used for shore
batteries, and the cruiser has been con-
verted into a hospital ship.
There are also I'm the harbor a number
of smaller warshps OF the nature of con-
verted yachts, including the Flecha, Agui-
la Magallanos, and two others. All of
these vessels except the Alfonso XII, are
always ready to move on short notice
The merchant steamers Josefa, Adola
and Maria Herrera are also in the harbor.

Copyright 1898, by the Associated Press.
Off Juraguaclto, July Y, via Kingston,
jam, July 10, 9:45 a. m.-The miserable
little town of Juraguacito lies in ashes to-
night.
It was burned under the orders of the
army health authorities.
Almost every building Of the fifty which
struggled along the irregular bluff was set
fire to during the day, and the Cuban in
habitants have fled to the caves in the
overhanging hillside for shelter.
The action was taken at the urgent re-
quest of Maj. Legarde, of the hospital
corps, and served the joint purpose of rid
ding the hospital camp Of the unhealthy
and dirty buildings and driving away
scores of Cuban followers whose presence
was a serious inconvenience to the hospital
workers.
The burning of the houses also extended
along to the trail to the front, and numer-
Gus blockhouses were destroyed, together
with dwellings.

SITUATION NOT SATISFACTORY.
Gen. Miles Report on the Fever
Outbreak Alarming.

Washington, July 1S-With the reports
of yellow fever among the troops ana
news of a further delay in the lombard
ment of Santiago, this has not been par
ticularly cheerful day at the White House
or the war department.
The navy furnished a ray of sunshine IN
the shape of a report from Admiral Dew
ey of his capture of Isla Grande, but even
in that there was a suggestion which add
ed to the concern that has been felt about
possible troubles with Germany.
Gen. Toral seems to have been as sue
cessful in his plays for delay as Senior de
LONE and his associates at Madrid were
in the diplomacy which led up to the war
Gen. Shafter seems to have been innoc-
ulated from the Spanish "mana," and his
replies TO queries sent him by the author
tiles here have been Tomorrow, To
morrow" until everybody has become dis
gusted.
Imperative orders were sent him to-day
and nothing short of Spanish surrender
can prevent that bombardment going
ahead tomorrow.
The gravity of the situation Is greater
than officials will acknowledge. There as
no question that the dreaded yellow Jack
has made its appearance among the
troops Gen. Miles reports have in fact
been alarming. 1t was on his declaration
that there should be quick action, or that
The Spanish offer should be accepted, that
the President and the war board sent the
order calling for immediate action.
They were greatly disappointed when
kilograms received substantially told of an
other twenty-four hours truce While the
officials will acknowledge only fourteen
suspicious cases of fever, it is the under
standing here that suspicious cases have
developed in number az different parts of
our camps.

Key West, Fla, July 13.-According to
advices from Havana, received here to-
day, Governor General Blsnco attempted
TO commit suicide when he learned be-
yond doubt that Admiral Cerveras squad
ron had been annihilated.
Long before the Spanish admirars gal
liant dash out of Santiago harbor all Ha-
vana had been boastng of his ability to
outwit the Americans, and when mislead-
ing dispatches gave the impression that
he had euded the American fleet, the
demonstrations Of joy in the Cuban capl-
tai partook of the nature of a festival
When the true story of the defeat came
it was discredited until definite confrma-
ton from Madrid no longer left room for
hope. Gloom settled upon the city, all
galeties were stopped, and every public
and many private buildings were hung
with crepe and other black draperieg.
Captain General Blanco was in his pal
ace when the intelligence reached him and
he became almost frengied. He was clos
eted with his staff and Gen. Arolas of the
Spanish forces, discussing the news, when
he made the attempt on his life. After
