In spite of the denials from Madrid,
Spain continues her underground eff
forts to have the powers intervene in
her favor Wednesday last Senior Cas-
tlllo, the Spanish ambassador to
France, arrived at st. Petersburg, to
support the efforts of Count Villa Con-
zalo, the Spanish ambassador at St.
Petersburg, in the latter's efforts to in
duce the Russian minister of foreign
affairs. Count Muravieff, to join France
and possibly Germany in intervening in
SPANS behalf. Senior Castillo expected
to return via Berlin, N the event of
receiving encouragement at st. Peters
burg, which, however, is doubted.
Owing to the fact that Germany has
not fulfilled the terms of the CONNER
cial treaty by which she undertook to
grant exceptionally favorable rates to
Russian grain and other products, Rus
STA has sent Germany an ultimatum on
the subject, and unless the promised
rates are made effective on the Prus-
sian railroads by Aug. l, severe repris-
ais will be undertaken on important
German imports.
The best informed people believe the
Brussels sugar convention will result in
the abolition of the bounties, in spite of
French and Austrian opinion, owing to
Great Britain's threat to place extra
duty on sugars imported from states

AMERICAN COMPETITION.
The industrial federation has sent a
memorial to the bundesrath, praying
that American bicycles, which hereto
fore have been classed as fine ironware,
be hereafter classed as vehicles, thus
raising the duty on them from two to
three marks to 20 to 40 marks, or 20
per cent ad valorem per wheel.
The Socialist party, which has thus
far condemned high duties on Ameri-
can goods, is now, through it's organ,
the Neue Zeitung, advocating a Euro
pean tariff league against the United
States, with view of killing Ameri-
can competition.
A decree has been issued dealing with
the liability of foreigners residing in
Germany to military service. The
rules heretofore governing the cases of

more strict enforcement of them has
been ordered. The United States en-
bassy is now dealing with a number
of cases arising from the decree. not
ably the case of an American residing
at Stettin, whose sons were born in
America, but who married and settled
here. They are now told to return to
or serve in the army.
The failure of Joseph Letter, the |

THE WEEKS OPERATIONS.
What Has Been Accomplished at
Santiago and Guantanamo.


Santiago and Guantanamo.
Copyright, 1855. by the Associated Press.)
Off Santiago de Cuba, Friday, June
Il, per the Associated Press Dispatch
Boat Wanda (via Kingston. Jamaica,
June 1S).-The weeks campaign in
eastern Cuba has resulted in the prac-
teal demolition of the outer fOrtifica-
tions of Santiago de Cuba, in antici-
patton of the arrival of the troops. and
ne occupation of the fine harbor of
Guantanamo, in which today are an
-hored such magnificent ships as the
Oregon and the St. Paul, together with
The Marblehead. Dolphin, Suanee and
il other auxiliary gunbOats. Golfers
and press dispatch boats, in an average
depth of II fatnOms of water.
The military resistance to the def
mite occupation practically ceased since
the bombardment on Wednesday. An
intercepted official report of the Span
'sh military commander indicates that
his military resources are exhausted.
His soldiers are now en- half rationS.
There are supplies only for the remain
der of June. The commandment has al
ready seized all the private drug sup
plies, in order that they might be be-
slowed to the use Of the soldiers.
The close Gordon maintained by the
Cubans about Guantanamo is illus
trated by the fact that official Spanish
communications, sent in duplicate by
land and water. have been intercepted,
and the Spanish messengers in both
cases have been shot by the Cubans
while attempting to pass the lines.

Maine and the American flag being favor

lOPOSfD FlRf BOMBS


FROM present indications there will be
little opposition to the proposed Issue OF
nre ana bridge bonds when the matter Is
submitted to the voters at the polls Thurs
day. A quiet canvass is being made for
the bonds, and SO far no serious opposi-
tion has manifested itself.
As q financial proposition, the issuance
of $150,0o0 bonds to purchase engine houses
ana new apparatus would seem to COM
mend itself. The city now pays as rental
for ten engine houses 1886 per year. These
houses could be purchased out of the pro-
ceeds of the bond issue, upon which inter-
est at I per cent will amount annually to
only 5000, and decrease gradually after the
FIRST year by reason of partial payments
of principal. About $4,000 1t Is intended
shall 60 for the purchase of new apparatus,
which is badly needed in the annexed por-
lions of the city and those sec
tions which have heretofore had to
~ included in the districts of an en-
zine whose quarters were perhaps mile
or more distant.
Land and buildings for five additional
companies are provided for in this issue,
which, II rented by the city, would mate
rally increase the rent roll. while their
purchase, as contemplated, does not in
crease the item Of interest. AS a matter
Of fact the average interest item Is only
5000 per annum for the full period Of forty
years, since one-fortieth of the principal
u retired each year. Besides this, 1t is
probable that the passage of the bonds
will insure the erection OF police signal
system, which is badly needed. When the
heads Of the various departments were be-
~ntu kfao a. Ha
beginning OF the fiscal year estimating the
amounts required to run the departments,
the police wanted sufficient sum includ-
ed in the appropriation to allow of the
construction of signal system. Owing to
the state Of municipal finances the money
could not be allowed. but 1t was understood
that, should the fire bonds carry, $4,000
which has been appropriated to that de-
partment for improvements would be
available and would be transferred to the
police for signal plant.
The fire bonds failed to carry last fall.
but the same state of affairs exists and
upon the fire bonds the signal system de-
ponds.
AS to the bridge proposition, it is pro-
posed to spend $4,000 in erecting five new
bridges across the river to accommodate
traffic on much Travelled thoroughfares
ana to replace worn out structures. There
Is no dissent among the city officials as to
the urgent need of the bridges, and 1t is
confidently anticipated that the bonds will
be voted. Some taxpayers have expressed
the fear that the tax levy would be unduly
increased, but this is disproved by the fact
that a 2-eent levy per 800 of assessed val
uation of real and personal property will
suffice to pay interest and sinking fund
The average assessment on the city rolls
is said to be 5000, valuation upon which
the tax for the fire and bridge bonds would
amount to but 60 cents.
Last fall the bonds fell short of the re-
quired majority by only 70, being carried
down to defeat by the school bonds. This
time there is no doubt entertained of the
result.
