AIMLESS DOWNWARD DRIFT
NEW YORK STOCKS LOWER BY
AN AVERAGE POINT
Chief Feature of the Market Was It's
Dizziness, Which Was Relieved
Only by an Opening Break and by
Half-Hearted Rally Just Before
the Close of the Day-The Bond
List Also Dull.

NEW YORK, March 21.-The only feature
discernible In today's stock market was its
dullness. This dizziness was the exact refec-
ton, however, of the doubt and hesitation
which prevail in all finacial circles over the
next probable development In the Cuban
question. Apparently there was a limited
start, which resulted in sharp declines to
practically the low point of the day. There
were lower prices MADE in some few stocks
later in the aimless drifting of the market.
Business was, however, almost stagnant, aft
er the opening, until near the closing, when
there was a sharp rally in prices, apparently
due to the rebuying Of stocks sold at the
opening.
There was no spirit or animation in the
rally, and prices drifted downward again at
the close. There was only small volume
of stocks offering all day, but the demand
was almost nothing. and the result is that
the prices are lower all around losses reach
ing point in some Of the leading special
ties.
There is every indication of large OUT
standing short interest in the market, but,
In the presence of the possibilities in the
political outlook, this interest is very per-
sistent in declining to cover. 1t is the pre-
vail1ng belief that early developments at
Washington will include the report Of the
Maine board Of inquiry, and president 8
message on that and Cuba.
This keeps purchasers out of the market,
and, on the other hand, the large short in
terest warns the bears to proceed with eau
ton The consequence is semi-stagnation,
such as was witnessed today.
Such selling as there was attributed
to Washington account and there was some
selling also by large individual operators.
London was a seller, but not to large OK
tent. The list Of stocks and bonds that
moved at all was comparatively short one,
the market being very narrow.
Foreign exchanges stiffened slightly today
and no engagement was announced of gold
for import. Discounts in London and Ber-
lin were reported slightly easier. The out
look here favors easier money on account of
the gold importations already arrived or on
the way. Banks not yet disposed to
make time loans and great caution in the
buying of commercial paper is also mani
fest.
The bond market was on a corresponding
scale of dullness with stocks, and prices
were lower. Total sales, $s5O,oOO: United
States new As were n lower, and the old
as registered u lower while the old As
coupon and Is were " higher bid.
Total sales of stocks today were 209, 100
shares including: Burlington, 23,6s5; L. &

STARVING BY THOUSANDS
EVIDENCE OF DIR. CHADO, COL
0NEL IN THE CUBAN ARMY

Victims-Maine Disaster Attrib-
ufed to Spanish Officers of a War.
ship Now in Havana Harbor.
NEW YORK, March 21.-Dr. Frank
Chado, who, for the past two years.
mas served with the rank of colonel i'm
me CUBAN army under Gen. Calixto
Garcia, and who was present when
young Gomez committed suicide on see
ing his leader, Gen. Maceo, fall, is in
this city.
Col. Chado came by the steamship
Conchas, taking passage at Havana.
He eluded the vigilance of the Spanish
authorities and travelled under an as
sumed name. When he left New York
two years ago he weighed 21O pounds:
today he weighs lis pounds.
Il nave heard something Of the
stories published in this country of the
distress in Cuba and of the thousands
that have died and are dying of star
vatlon, he said. Nothing that has
reen published, nothing that could lie
published, could tell the story as it is
really.
Il know of my own knowledge that
In many sections of Cuba they are
digging up the earth for the worms
that they may find. 1t is not every one
who Is able to dig. Most of the people
are so weak that they are unable to
move.
They are dying by thousands-not
tne men VINO are doing or hope to do
the fighting that eventually must end
In triumph, but the poor women, the
children and the reconcentradoes Ruin
Is everywhere visible.
Spain has been guilty Of acts that
must make civilization stand appalled,,
and the fact is that they are infinitely
worse off today than at any time since
the war began. Victory is certain for
the Cubans in the near future
OF the present feeling among Span
iards at Havana, Col. Chado said that
1t was becoming more hostile for Amer
leans every day.
There is a feeling among Them" he
said, that the United States is afraid
to fight and that they can do anything
they please.
II am as firmly convinced as a man
can be that the Maine horror was not
due to any submarine mine. This be-
lief Is shared by all Cubans-that the
Maine was blown up by torpedo. Fur
Their, believe that the torpedo came
from the warship Alphonso XII.
LAS to our reasons for thinking so;
first, there is the fact that the night
before the Maine explosion the Alphon-
SO, which had been anchored near, was
moved to safe distance away
Second, the fact that not once since
the day of the explosion has any sea-
man or marine from the Alphonso been
allowed to go ashore. The only infer
ence is that the officials are afraid the
sailors might become intoxicated and
talk too much"
| NEW YORK, March 21.-Dr. Iouis
Klopsch, now in Cuba in charge of the
American relief work, cables from Ha-
vana under date Of March 81:
The situation is simply this: Two humid
red and five thousand reconcentradoes in
over AGO accessible towns are helplessly des-
titute. Unless get regularly. with
out a break, 800 tons of corn meal and fifty
| tons of lard or bacon every week, we can
not effectively relieve the suffering.
