SPAIN ABANDONs HOPE.
Said to Have Determined Not
to Try to Save Cuba.

New York, 1.-THE Tri.
bune today publishes a Wash
ington special saying the naval
war board is convinced that
the Spanish Cape Verde feet
has return to Cadiz and Spain
has abandoned all hope OF Ell
fecting resistance to the loss of
her American colonies.
The war in American waters
therefore is reduced to a
simple matter and its duration
is expected to be exceedingly
short. Arrangements will be
promptly made to bring back
Simpsons fleet to Key West,
uniting it with the army to
quickly terminate Spanish rule
in Cuba.
1t is conhdentially announc-
ed that Porto Rico will not be
bombarded. That island will
be let alone for the present,
until Cuba is freed and Amer
lean military government ec,
tablished there. Then the
combined American fleets will
sail against Cadiz itself unless
Spain sues for peace.

Der of the house, to vote for

OUR MARKET LETTER.

To THE HERALD.
Chicago, ILL.,. May 7. 1898.
Naturally enough we. have
had a wild week in wheat and
in fact in all breadstrAfs. Ex-
porters have been willing to
pay almost any price and there
has been a scramble between
English and Continental buy
ers resulting in enormous
transactions at fancy prices.
Local shorts seems to have
been entirely driven in but
wher, longs began to liquidate
late in the week some of the
old time bears put out a line
and have since repented as the
cash demand absorbed the Of
ferings of the call for flour
started up the idle mills of the
Northwest.
Spring wheat is nearly all
planted. This is earlier than
ever before. The drought in
California continues. With
this exception crop news in
general is favorable in this
country.
Famine is threatened in the
Azof district of Russia. There
is a revival of the agitation Of
the reduction of the French
import duty and Tor a temper
airy suspension of the same
duty in Austria. Australia is
resuming its position in a
small way as an exporter.
The trade in corn has been
of the most wholesale char
acter several lines of million
bushels each being handled.
Country offerings have>been lib
eral and readily taken. Stocks|
have decreased a matter Of
three millions.
The export trade in provis-
ions is OF courseheavy under the
circumstances and seems likely
TO continue so for time. Re-
