A DARING SCHEME
Frustrated by the Investigations Of OFF,
ciais at Key West.

Key West, June 20. 4:3O p. m.-Fed-
erai officers here are convinced hi by
the capture Of the brig Amalpa by the
blockading squadron off Havana last
week a daring Spanish scheme has been
frustrated. When the Amalpa was
taken she was flying the Honduras flag.
IL is now asserted hat the Hondurian
registry OF the vessel was "A blind: that
she is owned by Spaniards and that she
was being used i'm an attempt to get
food and provisions into the ~blockaded
city.
by a diligent investigation the prize
officials have discovered on board the
Amalpa documents and letters which To
their minds. make clear the entire
scheme Of deception. The discriminating
evidence thus far discovered. all of
which now Cannot be made known, is
said to be Of a positive character. 1t
shows the intention of the brig was to
pass the blockade line as "A prize. con-
iident that the Honduras flag would free
her after "a possible delay of a few
days, when she vas to proceed to ia

loads of supplies for Havana are being
safely discharged.
Papers which revealed these facts
were obtained by the federal authorities
with great difficulty. the ships officers
refusing to surrender them until coer-
Cion was resorted to.
Among the passenger aboard were
the wife and family of a colonel i'm the
Spanish army. Letters and stories of
other passengers confirm the reports
already published of restitution and
suffering in Havana.

Ore has been discovered in the Hill

REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Transactions of the Week We're On a
Reduced Scale.

New York, Nov. S-Bradstreets fin
ancia1 review tombrrow will say: Com
pared with the preceding week, both
the stock and bond transactions on the
New York stock exchange have been
on a smaller scale and have been di
vested of any excitement. At intervals
reactionary tendencies have appeared,
rejecting the taking of profits by
traders and large operators. The tone,
however, was in the main strong and
the public shows greater interest in
securities than for long time past,
there being an excellent investment de-
mand for bonds and dividend paying
stocks. When concessions appeared a
good buying demand asserted itself, al
though there was evidence Of a good
deal of changing of speculative hold
ings from one part of the list to an
other on the part of the public and the
stock market professionals. The only
positively weak features were a few
stocks like Northern Pacific common,
in which realizing sales outweighed the
buying, or Delaware & Hundson, which
broke on Friday on reports that recent
purchases of railroad lines by the
Vanderbilas are adverse to this COM
pany. There was also great deal of
irregularity in American Sugar, which,
after a further advance in the be-
SlU1lilS VI Lie w GctA OII IONCll ms VI
shorts, was dull and some inclined to
recede.
On the other hand. numerous adj
vances were scored, the most promi-
nent features being Atchison preferred,
and the adjustment bonds of the same
company, and the Baltimore & Ohio
securities. The grangers however,
under the lead of Northwestern and
Burlington. We're very strong and the
preferred stocks of both the st. Paul
and Northwestern roads made new
records. Besides this there were bull
ish movements in Peoples Gas, Pacific
Mail and a variety of railroad and in
dustrial stocks.
London participation in the American
market was irregular. In the begin
ming Of the week there was selling from
that quarter which was supposed to be
on orders from Berlin. which market is
inclined to realize on securities that
can be readily disposed of at a profit.

abroad, though not on a large scale

ON THE STREET.
Hot Chase After Sacramento Up to a
Late Hour.

Late Hour.
The statement in circulation to the
effect that Swansea would pay 10-cent
dividends after Jan. 1, had a stimulat-
ing effect on the stock of the company
yesterday and this security was strong
at the close of business last night.
There is also rumor on the street
that the Grand Central will soon double
its dividend, having q handsome sur
plus on hand in excess OF the sum re-
quired for the erection of the new hoist
and tramway and the payment of it's
regular dividends, although the report
is said to be premature, as the COM
pany, it is alleged semi officially, will
not increase its wealth distributions I'M
til March next.
A hot chase was kept up in the af-
ternoon yesterday for Sacramento, curb
sales of which were reported at 6712
cents. The stock is on the up grade,
but il is not believed it will touch high
water mark until Monday or Tuesday,
and possibly not then.
Northern Light was quiet, but very
strong in the afternoon after its furry
in the morning. Joe Bowers had many
friends on the curb, while Buckeye was
quite actively traded in during the day,
there being considerable inquiry for
Hercules, Little Pittsburg and Wachu-
sett, while sales of Columbia in thous-
and-share blocks were reported.
Star Consolidated was very strong,
with advancing tendencies noticeable.
Four Aces was very firm and looking
upward, and the fact that one heavy
holder offered to give 500 for an option
on a block of 500 shares at 80 cents was
significant and shows which way the
wind is blowing.
