Wheat Sent Abroad suroassed All Previous
Years Except Is92-Corn Record AIso
Broken-Interesting Comparisons.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE record
of the most remarkable year in our
export trade has been completed by
the bureau of statistics, so far as re-
lates TO the expectation of wheat corn
and other breadstuffs. pork, beef and
other provisions, cotton and mineral
oils. These articles form large per-
centage of the total exports, aside
from manufacturers:
In wheat, corn. oats and rye, the increase in
both quantities and value was strongly marked.
The expoi tntion Of wheat for the year dnclud.
ing flour as wheat amounted to 2l5.l7l96l

any preceding year except that OF 1892, which
amounted flour includedl to 225, sos sl2 bushels
The value OF the wheat and flour exported dur
ing the year just ended amounted to S2l2, SOL =

THE MIsERIEs OF WAR.
Roads from Santiago Blocked with Hum
cry and Desperate Creatures-AppeaI
to Gen. shafter for succor.

Ell CANEY, near Santiago de Cuba,
July g. Between l2, 900 and $4,000 in
nocent victims of the war have fed
here in wild panic to escape the ter
rors of the threatened bombardment
OF Santiago, and they are now con-
fronted by the horrors of starvation.
In their helpless confusion they are
appealing to Gen. Shafter for succor.
Most of them are foreigners, princi-
pally French or with mixture of for
eign blood, and their interests are be-
ing looked after by their consuls.
When they were informed that Gen.
Toral refused to consider the ques-
tion of surrendering they swarmed
out of the north gate of the city
all day and trudged through the blaz-
ing sun over the road, which in places
was ankle deep in mud. lettering
old men and women were supported
by children and mothers with babes
at their breasts struggled on toward
Ell Caney, San Luis and other towns.
Most of them came here last night,
and over 5000 slept in the village,
which under ordinary circumstances
hardly accommodates 300 people.

A MOST PATHETIC SCENE.
Portsmouth,, N. Y.-Captain OF the Cris-
tobaI Colon Kisses Each of His Men.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., July H. The
Spanish prisoners who were brought
to port on the auxiliary cruiser ST.
Louis from Santiago, numbering 692
of the men who formed part of the
crew of Admiral Cervera's squadron.
are resting in comparative comfort in
the new barracks erected for them on
Seavey's island. Around them is a
guard of 1875 marines. The crew of
the Colon had landed with the rest of
the prisoners, and with them came
Capt Merou, who turned to the Amer
lean officer and asked to say few
parting words to his men. The re-
quest was readily granted, but Capt.
Merou, instead of making a formal and
eloquent address TO the long line,
walked up to the man at the head OF it
and taking him warmly by the hand,
tenderly kissed the grim sailor ON the
cheek. When the men saw the action Of
the commander they wept as If their
hearts would break, and as the captain
walked down the line, shaking each
by the hand and kissing each sun
burned cheek, each man threw his
arms around his commanders neck
and gave him a most hearty embrace.
Few who saw the tenderness with
which he walked down the line and
affectionately embraced each seaman
as if he were his son could refrain
from tears, while the whole scene will
be remem bered by those who wit
messed it as one of the touching ex-
amples of the devotion and reverence
in which the seamen of every warship
hold their commander.
The prisoners are most pleasantly
situated in their new quarters. The
grassy banks of the rock bound island
face the entrance of the harbor and
the view cannot be surpassed for
beauty. The island has an area of
about 100 acres and is just across the
channel from Fort Comprise, the prison
yard of the captives. The space will
be inclosed with fence eight feet in
height Outside this fence and several
feet from it barbed wire fence is to
be constructed, besides which sentries
will be placed.

Inc sequel will probably be military
cabinet under Marshal Campos.
The military party favors a con-
tinuance of the war. Military
men say they think Spain
could never have expected naval
victory, and that so long as she does
not meet with disaster ashore she
ought not to sue for peace. The Carl!3ts
are anxious for the war to continue.
The government will transmit to the
powers the protest OF the Cuban CO.
lonial cham bers against the American
invasion of Cuba, which the protest
describes as "a brutal attempt to seize
territory"
There are persistent rumors here
that Duke Almodivar de Rio, foreign
minister, and Senior Gamazo, the min
lister of public instruction and public
works, have received full powers to
propose suspension of hostilities as
preliminary to peace negotiations.
Spain, it is alleged, is prepared for
peace on the basis of the independence
Of Cuba and the Philippines, the
United States occupying Porto Rico
until the war indemnity is paid. Lieut.
Gen. Correa, minister of war, says
everything depends upon the course of
events at Santiago.

Oregon, which did such remarkable
work at the naval battle off Santiago
de Cuba that resulted in the destruc-
tion of Admiral Cervera's squadron,
says in his official report of the en-
gagement TO Rear Admiral Sampson:
The Spanish feet turned TO the westward
and opened fire, TO which our ships replied Wig
orously. For a short time there was an almost
continual flight OF projectiles over the ship
but when our line was fairly engaged the enc

New YORK, July 9,-Bradstreet's
commercial agency to-day saws:
While the tone of general business partaltes
OF the usual midsummer stock taking quiet
ness, the number OF favorable features coming
TO hand has not materially lessened and conf
dence In good fall business is still wide
spread Business In speculative circles Is re-
strieted aud the new war taxes are having an
appreciable effect in reducing the volume OF
speculative sales by so-called scalpers in grain
and securities The tone OF prices, partieu-
larly for cereals, has shown q slight improve
ment for the week, and detailed comparisons
with recently preceding periods are still quite
favorable
Developments in the iron trade are still
patiently awaited but among the favorable
features might be instanced IN improved de-
mand for pigiron and increased inquiry at
higher prices for steel plates at some eastern
points while the western accounts continue
favorable. Rather more is doing on ex-
port account In this line OF business
and the demand for our cereals
abroad is quite satisfactory The crop eond-

CHAOS IN MADRID.
A RumOr That sagasta May BE Superseded
by Campos and Military Cabinet
Peace Rumors Afioat

MADRID, July THE authorities
kept the disaster to Admiral Cervera's
squadron a secret as long as poss'
bic and even suppressed the extra
editions of the newspapers giving the
facts. The official confirmation caused
tremendous excitement, particularly
in naval and military circles, where
the government is accused of or.
dering Admiral Cervera to make a
sortie, despite the known OPPOSE
ton of several naval experts. The
cabinet met last night, and its resig'
nation may be regarded as threatened.
