New York June 1l.-Yesterday's sharp
Use in the price of stocks brought in a
leayy volume of buying orders TO the
commission houses this morning, and es-
pecially in the grangers and Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. The rush to buy was met
by offers 10 realize by the professional
operators who bought at yesterdays lower

demand from the short interest as was
the case yesterday and a lot of considera-
tons unfaYorabe TO a rise in prices We're
given more attention than on yesterday,
so that the gains in almost all cases were
lost and prices crumbled in the second
hour of the short session to below last
nights level. The absence of trading
tempted the bears to put out fresh lines
near the close, causing some sharp dips
with only feeble rallies, notably in Sugar
and the grangers. Louisville and South

NO FURTHER PROPOSITIONS.
Both Sides Regard the Issue a.
Made Tn.

Made Up.
The Spanish minister had a long confer
ence with Judge Day last evening. AL
though there was the strictest reserve as
to what had occurred, it can be stated posi-
lively that the United States submitted
70 further propositions, nor did the Spun
ish minister offer anything which changed
the situation of affairs.
Both sides regard the issue as made up,
With no likelihood of further negotiations
between now ard the time when the Presi-
dent will submit the whole case TO Con-
gress. The United States has presented its
demand and Spain has given her answer.
Thus the case stands. While this brings a
halt to the active negotiations which have
been in progress for the last few days, it
does not mean that diplomatic relations
between the two countries are termina ted,
for such a step Is the last preliminary be-
fcre an actual state OF war. United States
Minister Woodford remains at his post at
Madrid and is said to be entirely safe from
EARN. The Spanish minister, Senor Polo
y Bernabe, also remains at his post in
Washington, similarly secure frcm moles-
tation. The critical condition Of affairs
staff to consider what disposition of their
effects would be made in case their posi-
ton here became untenable.
From the Spanish standpoint there is -he
same disposition IS that shown by the
authorities here to regard the issue as
made up. The answer of Spain is looked
upon as the limit of concession which
Madrid will grant. If there is to be an
other move, the Spanish government looks
to the United States to make 1t. This at
least is the situation as 1t presents itself
to those best informed in Washington. OF
course. 1t cannot be foretold what Madrid
will do in the stress of circumstances with
in the next two days. But those best able
to judge do not expect any further move
from Madrid, as they say that Spain has
reached the limit of her concessions.

Irwin on the strength of the Spanish tor
pedo fotilla, and the best course for this
country to pursue in meeting it,
A Spanish Argument Exploded.
In his testimony Admiral Irwin exploded
one of the chief arguments of the Spanish
court Of inquiry into the cause of the
Maine disaster. That board emphasized
the statement that no dead fish were found
in Havana harbor after the blowing up of
the Maine as a conclusive. proof that there
was no torpedo or mine explosion that
occasion.
Admiral Irwin told the committee that he
had never known an instance in which a
fish was killed by the explosion of a tor
pedc. In Mobile bay, after the war, Adj
niral Irwin removed from 300 to 400 tor
pedoes by exploding them.
To Meet Monday Morning.
The foreign relations committee will meet
again Monday morning, but will not make
its report until the President has time to
send his message to Congress. The final
vote of the committee on the Cuban reso-
luton will not be taken until Monday.
Feeling of Foreign Affairs Committee
Representative Adams of Pennsylvania
who is acting chairman of the House
committee on foreign affairs, saw the
President and State Department officials
and afterward consulted with members of
the Senate committee on foreign relations.
Mr.. ADAMS refused to talk on the subject
OF his conservation with the President, but
1t is understood that he told the execu-
tive that it would be impossible to prevent
the foreign affairs committee or the House
from taking immediate action. and that a
oeiay beyond Tuesday is impossible.
What Congress Expects.
1t is saio at the Capitol this Afternoon
that the understanding is that the Presi-
dent in his message will recommend to
Congress the resolutions recognizing the
Independence of Cuba which were intro
duced in the Senate by Mr.. Foraker and in
the House by Mr.. Mercer. These resolu-
tions provide:
Il. That the people of the Island Of Cuba
are, and of right ought to be, free and in
dependent
''2. That the government of the United
States hereby recognizes the republic OF
Cuba as the true and lawful government
for that island
3. That the war Spain is waging against
CUBA is so destructive Of the commercial
and property interests of the United States,
and SO cruel, barbarous and inhuman in
Its character, as to make it the ducy of the
United States to demand, and the govern
Ihent Of the United States does hereby de-
mand, that she at once withdraw her land
and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban
waters.
4. That the President of the United
States be, and he hereby is, authorized.
empowered and directed to use, if neces-
sary, the entire land and naval forces of
the United States to carry these resolutions
into effect
The latest information received by men,
bers of the House is that the message will
probably not get in before Tuesday,

The President and His Advisers Dis
cuss Measures.
;0NFERRING At TEE WHITE HOUSE
Secretary Gage and Chairman
DingIey Consulted.
BEER TAX MAY BE INCREASED

Now that the President and his advisers
realize that war is practically certain they
have prudently begun to discuss measures
for raising the funds necessary to carry on
the conflict. Many schemes are under ad-
vlsement, and one will materialize by next
week if the crisis is not lessened by some
ur expected development.
President Mckinley this morning sum-
mCned Secretary Gage for a conference.
Chairman Dingley of the House Ways and
means committee also arrived, and is
thought to have been summoned. While
there were other visitors during the con-
ference with Secretary Gage and Mr. Ding
ley, the Presidents work was chiefly with
these two men. Conjecture AMI circum-
stances lead to the belief that the confer
epce was serious one over the manner in
which funds shall be raised. War cannot
be carried without money. Tie Pres-
dent may even desire to make certain rev.
enue recommendations in the message he
will send to Congress in few days.
Revenue Measure.
Any hostile action by Congress Monday
will involve a large appropriation, or meas
ures Of some knd-to raise funds. There is
reason to believe that a war revenue meas
ure has been under consideration for some
time, and 1t is not improbable that bill
of this kind will be introduced at the time
Congress takes action on the Cuban situa-
ton. 1t may even be made part of the
bill or resolution authorizing the President
to intervene forcibly to put stop to hos
tilities in Cuba.
No definite plan, or even an outline of a
plan, to raise war revenue through the in
ternal revenue has yet been limited at,
but it is the belief Of many persons who
will necessarily be consulted in the matter
that legislation for an additional tax on
beer is almost certain, in the event of hos
tilities. Whisky would also come in for
share of the increase but for the fact
that the present rate of 81. 10 per gallon
in the opinion Of experienced revenue Off
Gals, IS really above the maximum revenue
producing point.
A high tax, experience shows, stimulates
Illicit distilling, and the net result is that
the revenues are decreased rather than
increased.
There is no reasonable doubt that a large
list of articles, such as are admittedly
considered luxuries, wifi be taken up by :he
ways and means committee as proper sub
1ects of revenue taxation, in case a large
amount of funds is needed to carry on the
war, which now seems inevitable
1t is estimated by a number of well-in-
formed officials that the addition of 81
more on each barrel of beer would bring
to the government from Sc, 900 900 to $50
OOO,OOo more each year than 1t Is now re-
ceiVing from the same source.

Steps Taken by Representatives of

tion Of war between Spain and the United
States would be a severance Of all relations
between the two countries, the first step
In which would be the prompt recall of all
the diplomatic and consular officers of both
countries. III anticipation of such an issue
II is understood that United States Minister
Woodford at Madrid, Consul General LIE,
at Havana and Spanish Minister Polo at
Washington and all their assistants. in
cluding consular officers. have made prepa-

has been declared. Until that condition of
affairs is reached, however, these officers

SECRETARY PORTER's DISPATCH,
Republicans in Congress DeeDIy Of
Tended by Its Terms

Republicans in Congress Deeply Of
Tended by Its Terms.
Expressions of Indignation are being
indulged III among representatives and SEN
ators over the dispatch sent by Mr. J. Ad-
Olson Porter, secretary to the President,
to the EDITOR of the Hartford Courant,
which was published over his signature.
Among democrats the communication is
the subject of ridicule, but republicans gen
orally look at the ssrious side of it, and
are deeply offended by the terms of the
dispatch, but are more concerned on ac-
count Of the embarrassment which they
say 1t must cause the President.
The communication is as follows:
EXECUTIVE MANSION.

CUBAN situation is extremely critical A

Tending the President against assertions
that he had weakened and shifted in his
Cuban policy, and was anxious to enter into
unacceptable terms with Spain in order
to preserve peace. Now that the President
Is expected to come out with flying coIors
and present himself before the country in
an attitude OF fcrcefulness and firmness.
they complain that this dispatch signed
by Mr.. Porter under the heading OF the
Executive Mansion represents the Presi-
dent as struggling to maintain himself in
an attitude quite the contrary. They hold
that this is an injustice to the President
and an injury to him and to the party in
giving the impre ssion that in assuming a
firm attitude he simply yielded to the
pressure brought to bear upon him by the
revolt which occurred among republicans
In Congress.
