WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH.

WILL FIGHT TO THE DEATH.
Mr.. Ramsden, the British consul,
when asked by the Associated Press
correspondent whether the Spanish
general would continue to resist, re-
piled: '-Of course he will. Toral will
fight till he dies
Different stories, however, are told
about the temper of the Spanish sol
diers. One consul, who declined to al
low his name or nationality TO be given,
said that so strong was the desire to
yield among the rank and file that
there were open talks of assassination
of General Toral.
The desperate character of General
ToraPs determination to continue the
struggle is apparent when 1t is known
and this information is among the
most reliable that has come out of the
beleagured city-that the Spanish sol
diers have less than a days ammuni-
ton remaining. Had assault all along
the line been pushed on the second day
of the fighting last week, as was con-
templated the night before, it is prob
able that Santiago would now be ours.
General Young, commanding the
First brigade, cavalry division, left at
noon today for Key West in bad health,
on board the Cherokee. The general
has been suffering from fever and the
doctors advised his leaving, saying he
could not recover here. Brigadier Cen
eral Duffield succeeds to his command.

from the refugees that there was a
regular mutiny among the volunteers
in Santiago the day after the fighting
began. The volunteers were loud in
their demands that the city should be
surrendered, so persistent, in fact, that

A HIGHER LEVEL.
Strength of a Few Stocks Buoyed
the Entire List.
The Trade in Bonds Continued Strong
Through the Week and Prices Closed
With Marked Gains.

New York, Feb 5.-Today's stock
market was lifted to a higher level by
the conspicuous strength of compare
lively few stocks. [ was noteworthy
that the Vanderbilts which gave the in
itial impetus to its advance, showed the
effect today of profit taking, Lake Shore
losing two points and New York Cen
trail a small fraction. Michigan Cen
trail bounded upwards at the opening
reacted over a point, but closed with a
substantial gain.
The far-reaehing Importance of the
merging Of New York Central and Lake
Shore, and the prospects of additions
to the plan, continue TO have a marked
sentimental effect on the whole market.
The possibilities in the way of reduced
expenditure for administration and of
stability of rates for traffic from con-
solidation, are canvassed with eager at
tention by dealers in securities. Penn
sylvania was conspicuously efficient,
and the long sustained advance in the
stock of its subsidiary company, Pitts
burg c. c. and st. L. is pointed to as
evidence of closer relations.
Burlington rose strongly on rumors
of the ripening of the refunding plan,
and pending increase in the dividend
rate. General Electric, Lake Erie and
Western preferred and Lackawanna
We're markedly strong, and Norfolk
and Western preferred continued its
upward movement. There was reac-
tionary tendency in the Erie and the
Susquehanna and Western stocks on
realizing. The recent advance is ac-
counted for by well-defined reports of
plan for exchanging the Susquehanna
stocks for an undetermined percentage
Of the Erie stocks. Great Northern pre-
ferred sold at further decline Of two
points, and was bid down stiIl further,
the various reports of plans for CAPT
talists and distribution of the company's
accumulated resources = being so con-
fiicting as to lead to the conviction that
no plan has yet been formed,
Although business was on a large
scale and widely distributed, the fuctu-
ations in price were exceedingly narrow
outside special cases, the most import
ant of which have been indicated.
The bond market this week continued
to show the phenomenal activity and
strength which it did not in January.
The sale par values in January was
nearly $93 600 900. This total was never
exceeded on the exchange, except in Oc-
tober, 1885, when the sales exceed $1O4-
000 600. In view of the present import
ance attached to the New York Central
Lake Shore consolidation, it is consid-
cred significant that the previous period
of greatest activity was the time of
West Shore settlement Kansas Pacific
consols showed an extreme advance for
the week of IL Is points and other
Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific issues
showed large advances.

The Reserve Fleet
More Transports Needed

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Assistant Sec
rotary Meiklejohn Of the war department
was today engaged In negotiating for sew
eral additional transports for the troops
that are to be sent to Manila.
The advices received by the assistant
secretary from San Francisco today indi-
Gated that three Of the transports, the City
of Picking, the City Of Sydney and the Aus
tralia, would start on their long journey
late tonight or tomorrow. No suffers are
to be permitted to accompany the army
during the war. Assistant Secretary
Meiklejohn made this announcement today
after a thorough consultation with the
army officials who are acquainted with the
operations Of the commissary department.
To make up for any deficiency In supplies
which might be missed by debarring the
suffers, the department has decided to en-
large very materially the list of articles
which will be kept on hand by the COM
missary department. All these will be sup
piled to the soldiers at cost price, Many
applications have been received from per-
sons who are anxious to receive appoint
ments emitting them to accompany the
army with a suffers privilege.
The authorities are endeavoring to Sc
cure legislation by congress which will
make applicable in time of war the law
providing for summary court martial for
the trial of petty offenses at military posts.
The law is applicable only in time of
peace and in consequence much embarrass-
ment has been caused by the inability of
the war department to try numerous small
offenses which constantly arise.

TAMPA. Fla, May 23.-The Red Cross
society ship State of Texas with Miss Glars
Barton, representative of the National RED
Cross society Of America, and a corps Of
surgeons and trained nurses arrived 1t
Port Tampa from Key West today and
cast anchor near the gunboat Helena. The
vessel, which is fully fitted up for hospital
purposes and carries supplies enough for
the equipment of several Red Cross sta
tions, will, it Is said, follow the feet Of
troops into Cuban waters.
In speaking of the Red Cross work In
Cuba, Miss Barton said today that she had
received assurances from the highest
Spanish official sources that her hospital
at Serro and her headquarters were being
carefully guarded and that the Red Gross
supplies left there were being put to their
intended use.
In the hospital at serro, where sixty chill
dren were being cared for when Miss Bas~
ton left the island, there are now 100 CHI
dren receiving medical attention.
'"General Blanco himself belongs to the
Red Cross society Of Spain," said Miss
Barton, land I am confident that the RED

as from New York, was arrested today hy
order of General Shafter as a suspected
spy.
Castellanos has been watched for two
weeks. He was plentifully supplied with
money. Castellanos wrote as many az LOO
letters day, and this, together with the.
discovery that he was travelling under an
assumed name, resulted in his arrest to-
day. The case will be thoroughly investi-
gated.
Elaborate arrangements have been made
for the banquet to be held at the Tampa
Bay hotel tomorrow in honor of Queen
victoria's birthday. Covers for about -
guests will be laid.

board the vessels in waiting.

characterized the military branch OF the
government for two months past. Sunday

A RAFTING GOOD BOUT
WHICH MADE M'PARTLAND
LOSE TEMPER
A Foul Blow Struck in a Clinch Gave
the Decision to Daly-Smith-
johnson Fight

NEW YORK, May 23.-Jack Daily Of
Wilmington, DEL, got decision on foul
over Kid Mcfarland of this city, after hav-
ing fought fourteen and half rounds In
the Lenox Athletic club tonight.
DAILY was the favorite in the betting, 100
to 90 being laid or his chances. Both men
o'clock this afternoon, and when they
stripped tonight they were in excellent
trim. The bout was a rafting good one,
while 1t lasted, but from the eighth round
1t was very evident that Daily would get
the better Of Mcfarland. as the latter lost
control Of his temper.
Mcfarland sprang a new blow in the
second round-a left jab on the face, quick
ly brought down to the kidneys.
While both men clinched repeatedly, the
fighting up to the eighth round was fast,
and neither man had any apparent ad-
vantage. :
In round eighth Daily landed heavily and
rushed Mcfarland to his corner. When
they came up again both started to slug
and a strong uppercut on the nose caused
the New Yorker to lose his temper COM
pletely. Daily slipped to the floor, and when
he was half down Mcfarland hit him.
There was an uproar in the house at this
moment, while the referee kept Mcfarland
from fouling. In the twelfth round Nc
Partand rushed Daily to his corner and
doubled him up with a punch In the wind.
There were frequent clinches and Daily
claimed Mcfarland hit him low down on
the body.
In the fourteenth round DAILY stopped
Mcfarland with hard right on the head
and got his eye split in return. In the next
round Daily rushed and landed heavily on
the head.
In the final round the boys rushed into a
clnch, from which Referee White got
them to break. Daily rushed and slammed
Mcfarland right and left. In a clinch
Mcfarland struck Daily and the latter fell.
White rolled over him, hurting Days leg.
This ended the bout and Charley Harvey
announced that the referee had awarded
the decision to DAILY on account of MOZART
lands having struck Daily IN clinch.
Called It a Draw
PHILADELPHIA, May 3d. mysterious

a draw, although Smith clearly had the
better Of the bout.

FRENCH ARE FRIENDLY
AND ANXIOUS THAT AMERICA
SHOULD KNOW IT
But British Brokers Claim to Know Of
Franco-spanish Alliance
Already Formed

NEW YORK, May pa dispatch to the
World from Paris says:
Clear evidence is now being afforded OF
the governments desire to remove the
bad impression created in the United
States by the offensive spirit of certain
Paris journals since the war began.
Inquiries in high official quarters have
elected the declaration that Premier Sa-
gasta's explanation that Ambassador Leon
Y Castillo's presence in Paris is essentially
important pending negotiations caused
amazement at the French Foreign Min
istry. 1t is believed that Sagasta's state
ment is a mere excuse to cover Senior Cas-
tillo's unw!llingness to accept burden
of office under thankless conditions.
Frances Minister, M. Hanotaux, is re
solved to maintain a rigid neutrality. He
will participate in no movement for In
PREVENTION without first ascertaining
whether the conditions proposed would
be acceptable at Washington.
Further testimony to the French OFF,
cial feeling Is furnished by an editorial in
lie Temps emphatically protesting against
the alleged misunderstanding between
France and America, attributing the hos
tility shown her to q few Boulevard jour-
nails.
Sympathy for Spain because she is DEEM
ed the weaker party is felt, no doubt, but
Frenchmen would be glad to see Cuba
Free and the French government has dorc
and will do everything possible to main-
tain it's cordial relations with the great
republic over the sea.
"Franco-American friendship" the
Temps says, dates from the never to be
forgotten days of Washington and Lafay-
cite, and the historic past of both coun-
tries in a measure determines their re-
lations in the future"
Alliance Talk
LONDON, May 23.-The st. James Ga
zette this afternoon in its financial article
says:
"In the foreign market this morning sew
eral dealers were said to be In possession
of advance news in the forthcoming an
nouncement Of a Franco-Spanish alliance,
hence the rise in Spanish tours.
"In connection with the above 1t is cur
realty reported that the recent speeches
of the Marquis of Salisbury and Mr. Jos.
Chamberlain did not refer to West Africa,
but to this impending alliance, against
which Mr.. Chamberlain's allusion to an
Anglo-American alliance was intended as
counter blast"
The strength Of silver is attributed to the
prospective purchases to replace the with
drawals from the bank of Spain, amount
ing to 1,350,000 pesetas since April 18th.
