General Feeling of Relief at Havana
Rise in Price OF stocks.

sion.)- reports put in circulation some
days since with respect to the progress of
the peace negotiations between Spain and
the United States had the effect of stimu-
lating orders sent from Europe and other
countries by cable to buy Cubas public
stock. So far back as Aug. the rise in all
securities of this class began, and on Thurs
day and Friday of last week silver rose
from 40 per cent. discount to % per cent
discount while railway stock rose from 25
to 80 points in some instances late Friday

Associated Press Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Gradually the
framework of government for the civil
administration of affairs in Cuba, Porto
Rico and such portions CT the Philippines
as this government controls, is being
formed. The development of this plan of in
ternal administration occupied much of the
attention of the Cabinet to-day, and later
Secretary Gage, Attorney General Griggs,
Postmaster General Smith and acting Sec
retary of State Moore held a two hours
conference at the State Department, going
over the infinite detail CT establishing a civil
administration. General Corbin was present
part of the time. At the outset the military
authorities will be in charge of all admins
trative affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico and other
acquired possessions. But the military
forces can do little more than direct the or
derly execution of affairs. The carrying on
of postal communication. the collection of
customs, ETC., are civil functions, which will
be taken in hand by the appropriate bureaus

lection OF the military authorities The re-

a treaty of peace that would put an end to
the spilling of blood and the long era of des-
olation and ruin from which the island has
suffered, as there is scarcely any family.
Cuban or Spanish, which has not felt the
terrible depression of the war or has not
had some member among the combatants.
There has also been a complete paralysis
of business for nearly four months, and
there have been many other causes that
have Influenced the feelings of the more in
telligent. particularly those who have ex-
perienced most acutely the consequences of
the war.
Despite the rumors of the signing of the
protocol, news came almost simultaneously
that an American boat on Friday last, fly
ing flag of truce, carried an officer from
the American war ships off ManZanillo with
formal demand for the surrender Of the
town on the same conditions as accom-
panied the capitulation of Santiago de Cuba.
On the demand being refused a lombard
ment was begun at o'clock in the after
neon by three war ships, which resulted in
the destruction of sixty-five houses and the
wounding of fifteen Spaniards, some OF
them seriously. This intelligence, for the
time, seemed to discredit peace rumors,
which had caused the rise in the pubic
stock, and there was a slight reaction.
The city of Havana remains entirely tran
quill. Everybody has resumed his ordinary
duties and all are thinking only of how to
recover something of what has been lost.
Conservative natives and particularly
Spanish residents, realize not only the ex-
pediency but the necessity of such steps as
will save the social interests of the island,
avoid future instructions and prevent a
complete annihiliation of the wealth par

is no agitation. The report that an attempt

Mail May Go to Spain.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.--It has been de-
cided by the postoffice authorities to allow
all mail messages addressed to Spain to
proceed as before hostilities began. The an
nouncement that mail is to be sent to Ha-
vana is premature, although it is hoped to
establish communication with that city at
a not far distant date. The mail of the
Spanish prisoners can now go forward to
Spain without special provision being made
for it's transmission.

discovered ample room in which to pass
the wreck Of the Merrimac. She went
in, made observations along the inner
harbor, and then came back to sea-
getting around the wrecked collier
without difficulty.
This rather surprising information
came out in the course of a conversa
ton in which Admiral Sampson ana
Captain Chadwick discussed the stu
alton from naval standpoint. AT
length Captain Chadwick made the
surprising statement that it was a
question whether the Merrimac had
been properly sunk. He said he feared
Lieutenant Hobson and his plucky men
had taken the vessel too far into the
harbor before sinking her. AS the
collier now lies, it is said, the channel
is comparatively free of obstruction.
Such is the opinion of men on the
VeSuvius, and their opinion is based
on experience
Not only did the dynamite cruiser
pass the wreck while accommodating
about the outer<forts the other night,
but it gave to Admiral Sampson news
which resulted in a closer examination
of the wreck as it now lies. 1t has
been ascertained that two battleshlps
can enter the harbor abreast, one pass
ing to the right and the other to the
! left of the Merrimac wreck. This Is
an opportunity that will be of great
advantage to Admiral Sampson when
the final attack on Santiago begins
Lieutenant Hobson and his men art
still in communication with the fleet
There is little prospect that they vii
be exchanged before the attack on
Santiago is made.
