VIZCAYA STEAMS AWAY
THE SPANISH CRUISER LEAVES NEW
YORK HARBOR FOR HAVANA.
No Ceremonies Connected with Her
Departure, and Few People Watched
Her Pull Up Anchor.

NEW YORK, Feb 25.-The Spanish cruis-
er Vizcaya, after spending a week in this
port on a friendly visit to the United
States, got up anchor at 1:40 o'clock this
afternoon and started to sea. Her destina-
ton is Havana. There were no ceremonies
or incidents of any kind connected with
the vessels departure. The fires under the
boilers were lighted at daybreak and by
o'clock the big vessel was clear of every
thing and awaiting the pleasure of her
commander to give the word to go. AT 1913
o'clock Captain Eulate mounted the flying
bridge with the pilot and gave the word to
hoist the anchor. Few spectators were on
the neighboring wharyes at the time The
big anchor had hardly been cleared from
the mud before the vessel got under way
and by the time it was Gated the Vizcaya
had stretched for the Narrows.
The naval tug Nina and the police boat
Patrol accompanied the ship as far as
Fort Wadsworth, when they saluted and
went about The loud and deep steam
whistle of the Vizcaya gave them three
long blasts-the marine farewell Forts

anchorage her flags were at half-mast for

They were in full uniform. Once wen out

Four miles outside the Hook the pilot
boat dropped away from the Spanish YES

been whistled she started for New York
Then the Vizcaya got under way and
rounded the Hook, taking a southerly
course. For time her yellow tunnels were
visible, then they became lost to view. Lat

Enterprises of Speculative Nature
Influenced by the Reports.
PRICE SITUATION is STRONG
AND GREAT ACTIVITY Is NOTED IN
CENTRAL WESTERN STATES.
Increase in Bank CIearings This Week
Eighty-seven Cities, 81 Per Cent.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: While business of a
speculative nature has been quick to re-
fleet the increasing strain in political af-
fairs in reduced values and Withdrawals
or curtailment of activity in some lines,
there is little to Indicate that the volume
of distributive trade has been reduced, and
reports to Bradstreet's this week, so far
as the latter branch of business is con-
cerned are among the best deceived this
year With few important exceptions the
price situation is one of strength, while
the enlarged demand for coarse grains is
taken to reflect the turning of attention
from higher-priced cereals to those of a
lower-prced character.
AT the East last weeks squirt i'll the
dry goods trade at Boston does not seem
to have held, but at New York there is
considerably more doing in the jobbing
trade. The cotton situation is one of firm
ness, rejecting alike the curtailment of
production growing out of labor troubles
and the firmness of raw cotton induced by
a good export demand. Wool is firm, but the
demand has perceptibly slackened, and
there is less doing in manufactured goods.
The best report as TO the distribution Of
trade made so far this year comes from
the central West Spring trade there is re-
ported earlier than usual. Kansas City
perhaps the most important market for ag-
ricultural implements in the country, re-
ports the demand exceeding all records and
sales limited only by the ability to deliver
orders. The demand for iron and steel at
the West still continues large and prices
are firm. A feature of Chicago's trade has
been the placing of an order for 5000 tons
of steel rails for railroad in Alaska AL
most equally good reports come from the
Northwest, where trade is reported either
fully equal to or ahead of last year The
South seems to have shared in the improve
ment to d notable extent. Collections are
reported retarded in Texas owing to the
holding back of cotton. The word Klondike
accurately pictures the situation on the
Pacific coast. All eyes appear to be fixed
on the Quitting trade and the transporta-
ton of men and supplies to the north.
Exports of wheat, including flour, from
this country and Canada, during the past

ONLY ONE MAN OPPOSED.
House Military Committee Voted to
Increase Artillery Force.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-There was only
one vote in the House committee on mill
tary affairs to-day against favorably re-
porting the Senate bill providing for two
additional regiments of artillery 1t was
delivered by Mr.. Cox, Democrat of Ten
nessee. There was an informal discussion
of the necessity of these two additional
regiments to man the coast defenses of the
country and some general opposition was
expressed by Mr. Cox to increasing the
army He c0ntended that in the event OF
war the volunteers could man these guns.
He also expressed the opinion that report
ing their BILL which has been before Con-
gress for several years, at this particular
time might be misunderstood by the coun-
try He thought it might be construed as
direct action by Congress in preparation for
war On the other hand it was commended
by those who declared that they did not
believe that war was imminent, that re-
fusal to report the bill might also be mis-
construed. The sentiment in the committee,
however. was overwhelming for these two
additional regiments to properly man guns
which are being ere ted along the coast.

THREAT AGAINST VAN WICK:
The Mayor of New York Threatened
With Public whipping.

NEW YORK. Oct. 8.-When Mayor Van
Wyck reached his office he found on his desk
a note which angered him greatly, and
caused him to issue statement. The note
was signed &C. H. T. Coils" and for a
time cleared up In the mayors mind any
doubt as TO what the former commissioner Of
public works meant by his sharp letter Of
Wednesday. The letter was as follows:
Sir: l may have been ambiguous in my
communication of yesterday, and in order to
clear up any part of 1t as to what may appear
inuendo l will further state that / intend to
severely and publicly chastise you If you die
tate any further news matter to newsgatherers
unjustly rejecting upon me in any manner.
Respectfully &C. H. T. Coils. .
Having read the note carefully two or thr q
times, the mayor solemnly dictated the fol-
lowing statement:
II have a second threatening letter from
the head of Mayor Strong's department OF
Public Works. l repeat what l said in re-
gard to the first letter, and say that l shall
continue to investigate any and all charges
which may come before me regardless of
whom. they effect, and regardless OF any
threats that may be made against me by the
writer of this or any other letter.
General Coils was seen this afternoon and
he said that he had not written the letter 10
the mayor. 1t was he declared, a forgery.
District Attorney Gardiner said tonight that
the investigation by the grand jury Of the
conduct of the department of public works
by G. H. T. Coils will begin next Monday.
He has assigned three members of his staff
to go over the matter and take charge OF the
casa but he will assist in the inquiry.
