REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Market Was Weak, With the Usual
''Strong Undertone"

New York. July 15-Bradstreet's Finan-
cial Review tomorrow will say: More
than customary irregularity prevailed in
the market this week. At its conclusion
there was marked weakness developed on
the basis of the surrender of Santiago,
and the apparent willingness of the Ma
drid government to negotiate. Before this
point had been reached, however. the
market passed through several changes
of speculative sentiment. In the begin
ming of the week it was strong on the be-
lief that Santiago would soon be taken,
but by Wednesday II experienced a de-
preston on the reports of a yellow fever
outbreak among the American troops
there. At the same time there has been
a strong undertone. though the public has
been inactive and London was up TO Fri
day. a considerable seller here. Activity
in the stock list has also suffered from
the stamp tax. and the professional ele-
ment in the board room and street has
adopted bonds as a speculative vehicle,
owing TO the fact that transactions in the
latter are not subjected to the stamp tax.
This resulted in very active buying in a
number Of classes of railroad bonds. the
transfer of speculative intention to that
part of the market having tendency to
improve values of bonds all around. There
was the best attention paid to matters
apart from war news than for some
weeks back The great success of the
government bond subscription must. how
ever. be counted among the bullish fact
OrS. and has given financial interests gem
orally decided satisfaction The absence
of disturbance in the money market from
this cause would prevent its having. how
ever. any immediate effects upon specula-
ton. though the belief is that the success
of the loan and its having been entirely
absorbed by individual subscribers will
bring large amounts of corporation funds.
which have been held to pay for new
bonds. back into the general investment
market.
The crop news and rumorS have ceased
to be much of a factor in the market, but
on the other hand. a good deal OF atten-
ton has been paid to the reports II rate
cutting, which. with the decreases in
gross earnings which many roads are dis
playing for the present has created some
bearish sentiment or railroad stocks. This
has not taken the form OF selling of the
granger and trunk line shares. On the
contrary. its effect has been to turn the
speculation more completely towards in
dustrials and bonds while the weak fea-
ture was supplied by coal stocks.

YANKEE GUNNERS DID IT.
Reflections Upon Admiral Dewey
Resented at Washington.

Washington, July 15.-With all of our
disposition to be on friendly terms with
the British, our naval officers are quick
TO resent the allegations made to the
effect that Dewey owed his marvellous
success at Manila to the employment
of English gUnners, whom he had en-
gagged at fabulous wages at HongkOng
before he sailed for Manila
Such a statement as this was made
by Cunningham Graham, an eN-meD1-
Der of parliament, in a communication
to some of the British newspapers,
which has aroused a good deal OF dis
cussion. Captain Crowninshield, the
chief of the navigation bureau, is di-
rectly in charge of the personnel of the
navy and when this statement Was
called to his attention he very prompt
ly and positively said:
I'VE never have yet been called upon
to get Englishmen to teach US how to
shoot. An inspection of the muster
rolls of Dewey's squadron will convey
the amplest refutation of this charge,
and show how absolutely false it is.
Even later than the muster rolls are
the prize lists prepared for the use of
the auditing officers of the treasury de-
partment and by comparison with the
jmuster rolls, as the squadron was
originally formed, they show very
clearly that no Englishnen were be-
hind the guns that sunk the Spanish
fleet and silenced the forts at Cavite."

BRITISH VESSELS CAPTURED
TRIED TO RUN THE CUBAN
BLOCKADE.
A Steamer and Two Schooners
Seized-Loaded With Supplies
and Manned by Spaniards and
Negroes.

Key West, Fla, July 15.-Three prizes
were effected with only ordinary in
cident. The English built steamer
Grenow Castle, which for several years
piled on the Cuban coast under the
Spanish flag, but on June last re-
turned to her British register, was
taken by the Dixie Off Cape Cruz last
Thursday. She was bound from King
ston, Jamaica, for Manzanillo, with a
large cargo of food supplies. The crew
of the Grenow Castle consists of Cap
tain Rust, six Spaniards and four ia
maican negroes. -
The day before the capture the Dixie
took also two schooners, the Three
Bells and the Pilgrim. both flying Brit
ish flags and both bound for Montego
Bay to Manzanillo with cargoes of food
supplies. The Three Bells was origi-
nally Nova Scotian boat. She is of
about 125 tons and the Pilgrim of about
% tons.
Lieutenant 5. NJ Blunt, with two
sailors and two marines, was put in
charge to bring the Three Bells to Key
West, but she has not yet arrived.
The British schooner E. P. Nickerson,
was also among today's arrivals. She
WAS becalmed off Cape Cruz on June
and informed her commander that the
vessel was a prisoner. There was no
attempt at resistance. The Nickerson
has a negro captain, three seamen and
a cook. Two so-called passengers, who
turned out TO be agents for the cargo,
were on board. They are A. Won Govt
hard and Frank Berger and they We
hemently protested against the capture,
declaring that as British subjects, they
could and would claim indemnity from
the United States.
The vessels cargo was food, includ-
ing deck load of pigs. goats, chickens,
flour, pork, potatoes and the like. She
was bound from Jamaica for Manzan-
lilo.
The auxiliary gunboat Uncas lowed
in today a little Spanish sloop, the
Bella Yansz, taken off Cardenas The
sioop had no cargo and when caught
was close in shore. Four of her crew
of six jumped overheard and got TO
land
The gunboat Castine brought in to
day three Spaniards who had deserted
from a Spanish gunboat in Havana
harbor and put off to the blockading
feet in a small boat.

DAVIS EXPANDS AND SCARS
SENATOR TAKES UP THE "MAN-
IFEST DESTINY" CRY.
Declares This Nation Will Become
the Leading Factor In Interna-
tional Politics-Pacific Control.

St Paul, Mimi, July Ex-senator
Cushman K. Davis. chairman of tbs
senate committee on foreign relations
arrived home from Washington just il
time to be welcomed by the news from
! Santiago
ut is a great victory for the Ameri-
can arms, he said. THE fall of the
city is a splendid accomplishment and
carries forward finely the operations
planned by our strategic board. The
result amply vindicates the judgment
of our commanders at the front in
sparing a conflict which must have re-
suited in great loss of life. The city is
taken and the Spanish army is re-
moved. One half of Cuba has passed
from the Spanish possession beyond
dispute.
This CLEARS the way for the pro-
trust will begin at once. 1t is per-
haps more important in its consequence
than the siege at Santiago
Porto Rico is a much more desir-
able possession than Cuba, more
healthy and the land is pleasant. 1t
includes 300 square miles, very fruit
full, capable Of prosperous development.
have no doubt Porto Rico will soon
De ours.
The flag will not be lowered from
Hawaii and the fate of the Philippines
is linked with the destiny Of the re-
public. This nation in the near future
is to become the leading factor in in
ternational politics. We cannot re-
treat to our former policy of isolation.
In the domain of the Pacific ours is
henceforth the paramount power and
we cannot escape the responsibility.
The future of an unborn empire of the
west, the furthest west, that borders
on the east again, lies in our hands.
Il believe we shall be equal TO this
responsibility. We can take care of all
the possessions we may acquire and
comfortably shoulder all the tremen-
dous duties we may assume. We shall
find the necessary resources of states
manship, the qualities of diplomacy,
the strength of rulership, that is our
heritage. The future broadens before
US in wonderful ways we could not
have foreseen. We may go to meet
its destinies, calm, confident, secure in
the might of the nation, and the just
ness of its purposes

ANNEXATION OF CUBA.
Regarded as Certainty BY Adlai
E. Stevenson.

Chicago, July 15.-The feature of the
annual meeting of tbe Illinois Bar
association. now in session in this city.
was the address of former Vice Presi-
dent Adlai E. Stevenson. His subject,
France as a Republic" was particu-
la-ly appropriate to the great French
fete day, the anniversary OF the fall
of the Bastile.
Asked for an expression of his views
on the subject of territorial expansion.
Mr.. Stevenson said:
1T would seem a policy of expansion
is being forced upon the people of the
United States, and that we shall be
compelled TO adopt it. 1t is very difii-
cult problem that is presented to the
nation. hawaii has become a part OF
our government by the consent of her
people. and in accordance with the
wishes of the people of this country.
We have practically conquered Cuba,
and the understanding is that her pee
pie shall have a republican form of
government of their own. 1t requires
no prophet, however, to foretell that in
the course of time Cuba will become
one of the states of the Union. How
ever, have not given the subject
enough consideration to say whether l
am in favor of territorial addition at
present"

clined to discuss the matter, further
than 10 express joy that the taxing of
Santiago was accomplished without
further bloOdshed. and saying that the
terms of the caDitulation We're not to
be made public for some time
Within FIVE minutes of the Hist's ar
rival the signal officers ashore began
sending messages with the wigwag
flag on the hilltop to the right Of the
ravine in which the ruins of Aguadores
fort lie. This had been selected as a
signal station, and from this was tele-
graphed to Admiral Sampson a cOniir-
nation OF the surrender. This pies-
sage was as unsatisfactory as was the
Hist's to the officers of the fleet, who
we're anxious to know the terms of the
surrender and other details, while the
wiSwagged message simply set forth
the barest statement that the sur
render OF Santiago had occurred
The Iowa was at once ordered TO
steam west to MORO castle, evidently
being sent to watch the movements of
the men manning the shore batteries.
SURRENDERED IN TINE.
General ToraI surrendered in the
nick of time, for had the plans of to-
days battle been carried out, the CITY
of Santiago would have been torn to
pieces before night. The fleet had the
exact range, and, although the city was
about eight miles away, end hidden by
the hills along the shora, Commodore
Schley said that shells could be dropped
in the heart of the town every two
minutes for as long a time as General
Shafter thought it necessary. Aside
from the work of the fleet, seven bat
teries of artillery were in position, and
so placed that three-inch shells could
have been hurled into the town from
all sides.
The SDaniards. however, had made
careful preparations, and had even
erected barricades in the streets, ready
to fight to the very last.
General Shafter and his officers con-
fess they expected the American loss to
be heavy. if the attempt had to be
made to capture the city by assault,
and elaborate hospital arrangements
were made in anticipation of such an
occurrence. a large number of tents
having been erected at Siboney since
the buildings there were burned.
