THE MOVE ON CUBA.
Not Expected to Occur Until After
Epeapement Between Fleets.

TAMPA (Fla.), May At appears TO
he an almost settled belief among army
officers here that no movement Oh
United States troops toward Cuba VIII
take place until after the meeting OF
the Spanish fleet with Rear-Admlral
Sampson's squadron, which is now pe-
lieved to be inevitable.
Nevertheless, everything possible IS
being done to put the United states
troops in readiness for immediate snip
ment. Preparations for the landing OF
a large force of native Cubans at some
noint in Cuba within reach of Generai
Gomez's army are being pushed as tast
as possible How large a force 1t VIII
be is uncertain.
The Cuban recruiting offices that nave
been opened here are fairy over
whelmed with applicants for enlist
ment. and it is very probable that close
to 1900 men will be armed and ready
for service under the banners OF GO
mez before the end Of the week.
Two or three United States naval Of
fcers. thoroughly familiar with the Gu
han Coast. are now in Tampa for the
purpose of escorting the Cuban exped1-
ton to Cuba, and will remain with 1t
until the juncture with Gomez is ef-
fected.

BIG JUMP IN WHEAT.
Reaches ST 81 Per Bushe1 in the
Chicago Market.

CHICAGO, May 4.-Liverpool cables
started the wheat market here on the
up grade at to-day's opening. The Eng
lish market was up 44d on nearby
futures, while the Paris market was
reported 81 centimes higher. The lat
ter report proved to be 20 centimes out
of the way, however and caused plenty
/ of selling here But the fact remained
that France had only enough wheat in
sight to last two weeks. The country's
consumption is 100000 bushels per
week, and their own crop will not be
available until August. Rumors were
current that Germany and Austria
would abolish the import duty.
Letter reported foreign bids at sc ad-
vance over yesterdays offers July
started 184c higher, at 960964c The
market eased off Immediately to 95Hc.
Scalpers were in a bearish mood, and
put out short lines without hesitation.
Closing cables showed Liverpool up for
the day from Sd for May to 41Ad for
July, and spot wheat up from I'd for
No. 1 Northern to Sd for Californian.
Rumors of large cash sales to France
kept the pit in a very nervous state,
but up to 1880 the market was in a
comparatively normal condition, with
July selling around 96c and May at
81 24. Shorts made occasional efforts
to cover, and each time they found
offerings growing scarcer.
Half an hour before the close Letter
calmly announced that he had just sold
100000 bushels of cash wheat for eX-
port, presumably to France, at an ad-
vance of 5 cents over yesterdays fig
ures. He accompanied the news with
heavy buying orders through his
brokers. They bid May up from 81 "A
to 81 81.
Letters efforts to secure more May
wheat, which is equivalent to the cash
article, threw the bears into a panic
The close was at 9S%c, a net gain of
4c May closed at 81 80, a net gain
of &c.
Letters tactics to-day apparently
show him to be in complete mastery
over May wheat at least, and If, as is
generally believed, there is still large
short interest in May, the bears may
have fancy losses tomorrow.

MExICO'S NEUTRALITY.
Will Not Even Allow Spanish to
Raise Money For Spain.

CITY OF MEXICO, May 4.-The Gov
eminent has stopped the contemplated
meeting of Spanish clerks here for the
purpose of raising money and volun-
teers for Spain.
The police were ordered to prevent
the meeting as contrary to the obliga-
tions of a neutral nation. There has
been great excitement over the Amer
lean naval victory, and it's moral effect
will be great, for the Spanish local pa
pers and other journals Under Spanish
influences have confidently anticipated
triumph for Spain in the first encounter
on the ocean. Resident Europeans
who have been predicting the defeat
of the Americans are chagrined. There
is intense commercial jealousy of Amer
leans, and this hostile sentiment is dis
played in the papers here. The Span
iards are predicting an unexpected
blow by their cruisers at some point
on the Atlantic Coast.

AT SANTIAGO DE CUBA.
Report That the British Consul
Has Been Attacked.

KINGSTON (Jamaica), May A.
Copyright, 1898, by the Associated
Press. .)-Trouble of a most serious ma
ture is threatening British interests at
Santiago de Cuba The British third
class cruiser Pearl is now there, and
within twenty-four hours the British
third-class cruiser Pallas and the Brit
ish sloop Alert probably will join her.
The Alert, it now appears, was accom-
panied to Santiago de Cuba by the
Pearl, and the Alert was sent back with
dispatches regarded by the British Con-
sui as being too important to trust 10
the censored cable.
These dispatches were cabled to Lon
don by the Colonial authorities mere
The Alert will return to santiago ue
Cuba with the Pallas, now at Port An
tonic. The Colonial authorities are ret
icent as to the contents of the dls-
patches and the reasons for the move
ment of the warships, but the story told
the Associated Press correspondent at
the Jamaica club to-day was that the
British Consul, Mr.. Damon, had oeen
attacked in the Consulate by moo
whereupon he fired upon the crowd
killing a Spaniard, and has been imprls-
oned These statements, however, are
not verified.
Mr.. Damon is a partner in the nr1n Oh
Brooks Brothers and is regarded as
man of vigorous and even violent char-
acter.

Reports of Assassination of Moret
and Marshal De Campo.

LONDON, May 4.-The reports in
circulation at Gibraltar that SenOr
Moret, the Spanish Minister for the
Colonies, and Marshal Martinez de
Campos, the former Captain General of
Cuba, have been assassinated are un-
founded.
Inquiries show that a passenger who
arrived here from Spain yesterday af-
ternOon brought the rumor that Senor
Moret and Marshal Campos had been
murdered and that Premier Sagasta
had sought refuge in the British En-
bassy at Madrid. The dispatches sent
from Madrid last night reporting the
speeches Of Senor Sagasta and Marshal
Campos show conclusively that there

sion in the reports. Supposing any
cruiser is in that section of the West
Indies, she would be almost in the
pathway of the Oregon coming north
ward, and thus exposed to capture
If the battleship thought it worth while
to lie in wait for the expulsion OF the
Spanish cruiser from the British port
under the neutrality law.
AS to the Oregon herself, the opinion
is expressed that she is in no particular
danger at the hands of Spanish fleet
that may be approaching the coast
from Cape Verde, as she will probably
keep close along the Brazilian coast
within the three-mile limit where she
cannot be attacked except by breach Of
neutrality. Following the Brazilian
line shore closely would bring the Ore
gon to a point where she would have
only a very short run to make across
the high seas in order to affect juno
tion with Admiral SIMPSONS fleet.
THE TEMERARIO.
NEW YORK, May A special from
Washington to the Herald" says:
To the bad condition of the Teme-
rariO's boiler and to the large number
of desertions from her crew are due
the failure of the Spanish vessel to at
tempt the destruction of the battleship
Oregon. Reliable information has
reached authorities in Washington from
Buen0s AIRES that extensive repairs
will have to be made to the Temerario' 5
boilers before she will be able to leave
La Plata River.
More than a quarter of her compile
ment Of men have deserted. The crew
should number 81, but since the vessel
has been in La Plata River twenty-five
men have deserted.
Diplomatic representatives of the Uni
ted States in Argentina and in Uruguay
are watching the Temerario, and pro-
test Will be made should any citizens
of those countries enlist for service on
