A CABLE FOR HAWAII.


To Be Constructed to Manila to Aid
General Merritt in Governing
the Philippines.
The State Department has mailed
to General Merritt his exhaustive
instructions for the government OF
the Philippines, says the Washing
ton correspondent OF the Tribune.
These emhody not only full details
for the control OF the military and
naval forces in establishing United
States sovereignty over the Philip
pine group, which we're prepared by
the War and Navy Departments for
Incorporation in the instructions,
but are understood to clothe the
commanding general with greater
discretionary powers than have ever
up to this time been granted to an
agent of the Government.
Except in his relations with for
eign powers, growing out OF posi-
BILE complications in the East, which
are to be referred to Washington
for negotiation, General Merritt's
control OF affairs will be practically
supreme. The instructions through
out bear every evidence that the
United States intends to retain
permanent control OF the islands.
In this connection it is understood
to-day that arrangements are already
being made to lay cable from San
Francisco by way Of Hawaii directly
to Manila, and that work would be
under taken as a matter of necessity
the moment the authority for ex-
penditure can be secured from Con-
gress.

THE SPANISH FLEET.

Cleverly Trapped by schley in San

Will Never Get Home" SAYS
the Commodore.
OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 30
Commodore Schley and the Flying
Squadron have the Spanish fleet
bottled up in Santiago de Cuba. By
most clever man9uvring the Com

think he had left in disgust. They
took the bait and ran into the har.

down this morning and at 6 o'clock,
going close to the harbor, saw the
Cristobal Colon, Maria Teresa, and
two torpedo boats. 1t is believed
the entire fleet is there.
Commodore Schley has acted
upon his Information and judgment

after-triangle OF the Brooklyn, this
morning, until after the discovery
Of the fleet, and then went to break
fast saying: 81 have got them and
they will never get home"

STOCK EXCHANGE DEALS
Week Closes With a Complacent
Feeling in Wall Street.
.-nemployed Money in Great Ahund
ance aud the Market Closes
Strong, With Advances.

New York. Jan. 29.-One of the most
common obseryances made in Wall
street regarding the present market for
securities is that the speculation lacks
the support Of the public. This may
H., true regarding the purely specula-
tive side of the market. but the deal
incs in securities for the week suggest
that more important and substantial
support than speculative buying is be-
ing received from investors of all class
es. The transactions in bonds on the
stock exchange this week aggregated
nearly S26. 900 900 par value, and deal
ings in 26S different issues were report
ed This is q most extraordinary show
ing and indicates negotiations of 500
OO0. 600 bonds par value for the current
month. Stock sales averaged over
400 900 a day.
The week did not open auspiciously
in the street. owing chiefly to mis-
taken impression that prevailed on
Monday regarding the dispatch of a
United States warship to Havana. The
feeling of alarm thus created disap
Deared the next day, when the policy
of the Government and its acceptance
by the Spanish ministry We're better
understood. Since then strength has
obtained.
A favorable event this week is the
conclusion of the debate in the Senate
over the Teller resolution. The adop-
tion of that resolution was expected,
and there is a feeling of relief in Wall
street that the discussion is at an end.
other developments that have stimu-
lated actual purchases of securities,
particularly by important investment
interests are favorable trade reports
increasing railway traffic returns and
constant additions TO the list of divi-
dend-paying securities.
To-day's market was in the main
strong and fairly active. The shifting
of speculative interest to Louisville
and Nashville resulted in the stock at
tanning the first place in respect to
activity. 1t also scores the greatest net
advance 1t is understood that the
company will soon announce its re-
funding plan Other stocks less ex-
tensiveIy dealt in that closed about a
point higher than yesterday were Su-
sar. Northwestern, Missouri, Kansas
and Texas preferred, Northern Pacific
preferred and Union Pacific.
The weekly statement of avera ges of
the associated banks shows money still
accumulati ting at this center. The
amount of unemployed money here is
so large that ii is extremely unlikely
that the transfer of $4,000. 900 from the
banks to the Treasury during the next
eight or ten weeks win have any per-
ceptible effect upon the money market.
The closing of the stock market was
strong at about the best prices.

merge the West Shore Organization
with that of the New York Central,
but also to bring the Lake Shore actu-
ally into the New York Central corpo-
ration. Also it is intimated that the
scheme under consideration involves
union of the Lake Shore and the New
York Central under the latter name,
with advantages TO stockholders of
both companies. Further, the deal is
understood to embrace the incorpora-
ton of the Michigan Central in the
Vanderbilt system. b. exchanging its

stated. Also the election of Mr.. De-
pew as director of the Ontario and
Western is construed as implying a
deal between that company and New
York Central; this, however. lacks Of
fetal confirmation. But these reports,
coupled with the reduction in fixed
charges through the reconstruction of
the debt of the New York Central, has
naturally caused large buying Of the
Vanderbilt stocks and raised an eypec-
tation Of a permanent increase in the
dividends of the New York Central"
Mr. CleWs further expresses the idea,
not original with him, that the Teller
resolution cannot become a law during
