been allowed free swing to accomplish the enemY's destruction.
 On the other hand the officials say in dispatching Rear Admiral Sampson to Santiago there was no intention to dis parage the ability and trustworthfness of Commodore. Schley. It. was desired to crush the Spanish fleet without risk ing any of the men or the. armorclads, and it was therefore deemed advisable by the Naval War Board to strongly reinforce the fleet off Santiago. .Ac- cordingly Rear Admiral Sampson, with the New York. Oregon, Mayf1oWer and Porter was ordered from Key West to Santiago. Besides, it was pointed out that Commodore George Remey, in charge of the naval base at Key West, and Commodore Watson, commander in-chief of the blockading- squadron, are not only Acting Rear Admiral Sampson's seniors by virtue of their commissions, but of Commodore Schley, and they have been compelled to report to Admiral Sampson and obey his in structionS.
 When Commodore Sch1ey met the rear admiral at Key. West just before he left for the south coast of Cuba, he reported to him as commander-in-ch of the American forces in North At lantic waters. and was by that action placed under his command. To make it certain that there should be no mis- take on this point the flying squadron. as Commodore Schley's command was then known. was formally assigned to the North Atlantic squadron.

FINANCES ARE
 YET TOTTERING Spain's SpecuIators Play Upon Ignorance. SILVER PUBLICLY. PARADED JUGGLERY EMPLOYED TO STOP
 RUN ON A BANK. Merchants Refuse to Accept Paper Money and Authorities Compel :. Them to Take Worthless
 Notes.

Copyrighted, 1898. by James Gordon Bennett.
 MADRID, June Every curious are the phases of the rush for silver in ex- change for banknotes, in which, it ap- pears, spectators are playing upon the intense ignorance of the people on financial affairs. Last night trains brought in large quantities of silver, one lot weighing 750 kilos. This was ostentatiously paraded through the streets to show the people that plenty there was the same run. to-day as yes- terday on the Bank of Spain, and it was met again by ample supplies of the white coin. Tuesday 125,000 sil- yer duros reached the bank. yes- terday 135,O0O, and to-day 10000. But to-day at half-past 1 the run stopped. Meanwhile tradesmen in sev- eral instances refused paper money. They are pilloried tonight in the press. In each case quoted the Gov ernment compelled them to accept the notes.
 The Dia says an estimate has been calculated of the attack on Santiago and it cost the United States S600,000, without the slightest damage done to the forts or the Cristobal Colon.
 The transatlantic company has re- ceived a telegram stating that the AL fonso XIII, with full munitions of war of all kinds, arrived at Porte Rico without any incident.

GERMAN PRESS
 NOW VEERINC Berlin's Leading Writers
 on the War. TAKE THE SIDE OF PROGRESS HOPE TO SEE UNCLE SAM A
 WINNER. Believe This Conflict Will Force America to Become Military Nation After the European
 Pattern.

BERLIN, June 2.-I have just suc- ceeded in booking a further big block of German public opinion for the in- formation of readers of the Herald.
 The Vossisje Zeitungs editor says: "Of course we are on the side of pro- gress. Thus we cannot help wishing the United States success in the main, hoping they may put an end to the mis- erable state of affairs in Cuba, but we should not be sorry to see the Yankees receive a couple of "denkzettin" (sharp souvenirs), let us say, first. AS for the question of the future of the Philip pines, that is a serious matter, but 1t Is still in a state of liquefaction."
 The next authority 1 consulted was the editor of the Berliner Neusten Nae richten, the well known Bismarckian organ of Berlin, who said: This is serious business. Its first effect has been to interfere with commerce all over the world From the point of view of dispassionate outsider I look on the declaration of war by the United States as. trespassing on the sphere of power of European monarchies. If the United States gain the day promptly. they will turn longing eyes after time toward the West Indian Islands and Canada"
 The. Berliner Tageblatt is too we'll known abroad for it. to be necessary to. dwell at length on it's special char acteristicS as one of the most enter prising of German newspapers. Here is what I was told by the editor: Tn politics, or rather in popular interest in politics, two currents are invariably to be detected. One voices the heart, or what we call sentiment, and the other is the outcome of common sense, self interest or calculation. In Germany calculation decides our leanings in matters of foreign policy. AS a matter of fact it was: Bismarck who brought us to see. things thus in dtspasslonate light.
 '.But all this does not prevent our seeing and noting the regrettable frivol- ity with which the United States plunged into war, to wage which they are entirely unprepared. Further, we believe that in consequence of this very war, America will be forced to become a military nation after European pat tern, for neither her militia nor peace navy has proved equal to the strain.

 quest of Cuba.

SPRINGFIELD. Ohio, June 2-General Fitzhugh Lee, the hero of Havana, will lead his command, the Seventh Army Corps, in which are. two Ohio regiments, the Third and. the Fifth volunteers, to Porto Rico for the conquest of that island, and, after that is accomplished, will, it is stated, be made military Cover nor of the island by President Mckinley. . The news, which is authoritative reached here to-day from Tampa, Fla. where the two Ohio regiments are. now camped. They are to be moved at once to Jacksonville Fla, where Lees com
 nand is being modified: Additional . weight is given to the statement of Lee S plans by the fact that Jacksonville has been selected for this concentration. Be- ing on the East coast. it is admirably To- cated geographically for the authorization of troops for Porto Rico.
 No .information is given as to how soon the expedition will start, but the .hasty would indicate it is not far off.
