LONDON, July S.-A special dispatch
from Madrid. reviewing the situation,
says: "All Spain knows of her. defeat
and the people are beginning to realize
the magnitude Of the disaster. The
conservative press exhorts good citizens
to maintain peace.
In the meanwhile, extraordinary
military precautions have been taken
to quell any internal troubles Gen.
Correa, the minister for war, and his
secretaries are working day and night.
A second call has been issued for the
Canary Island reserves, and additional
forces of home infantry and cavalry
are being raised, while the artillery Is
being augmented by two pieces Of each
battery.
THE Peninsula armies will total up
100000 men by July Is. The railroads
are preparing war trains on all lines,
and carriages are in readiness at all
the garrison stations A high author-
ity, however, expresses the opinion
that the rank and file Of the soldiery
are inclined to condemn the war, and
feel they are being driven to blood
shed for unjust cause by scheming
politicians and he therefore doubts the
army's attitude in the event of civil
troubles.

war. are divided on the question of
loyalty to the various claimants to the

Wreckers Hope to Add the Colon to

NEW YORK, July S.-Capt. Fred
erjck Sharp, an expert diver, and the
chief Of the Merritt-Chapman Wreck
ing company's force, will have charge
of the wreckins outfit which sails from
Norfolk today to the coast Of Cuba,
with the hope Of saving some Of the
vessels Of Admiral Csrvera's fleet. Capt
Sharp will make a thorough examina-
ton Of the vessels Of the Spanish fleet
to ascertain how many can be saved
and brought to American waters.
The wreckers are more confident Of
saving the Cristobal Colon, Admiral
Cervera's flagship. If she Is worth the
trouble Capt. Sharp said he would
have no trouble in floating her and
towing her to Key West. This expedi-
ton will be one Of the largest ever
made up by the Merritt-Chapman COM
pany, and the crew of the company
may remain off Cuba for an indefinite
period. ~

Business Outlook Gratifying Even

NEW YORK, July s.-Bradstreet's tomor-
row will say:
While the tone of general business partakes
CT the usual midsummer stock-taking quiet
pess, the number of favorable features COM
ing to hand has not materially lessened. and
confidence in a good fall business is still
widespread Business in speculative circles
is restrictive and the new war taxes have
had an appreciable effect in reducing the
volume Of speculative sales by so-called
scalpers in grain and. securities. The tone OF
prices, particularly for cereals, has shown
a slight improvement for the week. and de-
tailed comparisons with recently preceding
periods are still quite favorable.
Developments in the iron trade are still
patiently awaited, but among the favorabla
features might be instanced an impI owed de-
nand for pig iron and increased inquiry at
higher prices for steel plates at some East
ern points, while the Western accounts con-
true quite favorable. Rather more is doing
on export account in this line of business
and the demand for our cereals abroad is
quite satisfactory. The crop condition Is
in the main very favorable, although the
tendency now is to discard early extreme esti-
mates Of yield of wheat and CTS, GOO 900 to

NEW YORK, July 8.-Bradstreet's fnan-
cia1 review tomorrow will say:
Narrow transactions and irregularty have
again distinguished the weeks speculation.
The market opened last Tuesday after the
prolonged holiday, buoyant on the news of
the destruction of the Spanish fleet at San.i-
ago. London sent higher prices and bought.
but the traders found that the outside public
was still Indifferent and realizing ensued
which carried prices down after the first ten
minutes. On Wednesday the tone was heavy
and dragging, and on Thursday there was
revival of strength under the. lead Of the
Vanderbilt trunk line shares, Friday level
oping strength In the early transaction on
peace rumors, followed, however by dullns 8
and declines in the coal stocks.
Dealings in the stock list have been re-
stricted to extent beyond what seasonable
midsummer dizziness would produce.
The stamp tax on sales, while it Is impos-
sible to say that it has checked public trad
Ing, has certainly checked the &C ivity of
mantpulators, and board room d. alers who
have been accustomed to make a great many
contracts In order to obtain a minimum OF
profits, which latter the war tax of s, per 100
shares will seriously reduce.
There is somewhat more settled feelny
about the crops, but on the other hand, rae
cutting Is admitted to be very prevalent, and

From Everywhere.
MADRID, July S.-According to a
dispatch received here from Havana,
Capt. Gen. Blanco openly urges the
continuation of the war. The newspa-
pers OF this city say the moment has
not arrived to seek for peace, one Of
them adding:
I'VE find ourselves in a position from
which we are able to make our enc
mics feel the consequences Of the war"
The refusal of the Cuban cable COM
panies to transmit dispatches franked
by the Spanish government, in spite Of
the conditions of the concessions, oc-
casions the hveliest discomfort here.
The Spaniards believe this action is
due to the orders of the British govern
ment, which. according to the newspa-
pers Of Madrid Is raising constant DIFF
ficulties in the way Of Spain, and is
giving frequent proofs of It's partially
for the United States. Spain, 1T ap-

whether they can meet 1t If they have to
pay such prices are asked by Western
holders.
1t is not enough to dismiss the iron In
dustry with the bold statement that it Is
using up more iron even at the slowest point
of the year. than ever before. It is getting
bigger domestic contracts for agricultural i'm
plement and materials and also for struc
tural work than in any previous year, but
especially for plate, the demand for which
quite overruns the capacity of all the works,
and not mainly on government account.
Nevertheless, the demand has not pushed
prices of material upward for this is the
waiting and fighting period and the pro-
ducers Of pig and Of billets have yet some
problems to settle between themselves.
Meanwhile, no fall in price appears, but
better demand for products, with every
expectation that within two weeks the pro-
ducing capacity Of the works will be much
more fully employed than it has been for
six months.
Failures for the week have been 229 In
the United States, against 260 last year, and
Is in Canada, against 80 last year.

Of war have not caused increase in CONNER

general decrease in trading defaults would,
without doubt, be- accompanied by correspond

and the new war tax begins to increase reve-
nue., not seriously disturbing business in any
line. No reason yet appears to apprehend
that the war revenue will fall below expecta-

The cotton crop looks better and the pros

is somewhat improving. Abroad the state

The, manufacture Of wool hesitates. al

MEXICAN CATTLE BOOM.
Something for the Kansas Stock Men
to Rejoice Over.

Fort WORTH, TEXAS, May 4.-The
announcement is made that Mexico is
almost without cattle, due to the
great demand for Mexican beef that
began about two years ago, and re-
suited in the cutting down of the ap-
parently inexhaustible herds of cattle
in Northern and Central Mexico to
very small numbers. The States of
Chihuahua and Sonora alone have been
shipping to Cuba about 5000 head a
month for many months past, and
Mexican cattle raisers have been en-.
riched by Spanish gold. Comment is
made on the fact that Mexico, which
felt the cruel hand Of Spain for CEN
turtles, should today be feeding its
army Of oppression. During the past
two months the movement of Mexican
cattle into the United States has as
sumed large proportions. The de-
mand still exists in undated vigor.
