The Monitor Leaves Mare Island for
Frisco.
VALLEJO, Cal, June 3.-The moni-
tor Monterey left the Mare island navy
yard this afternoon for San Francisco.
AS the vessel steamed away from the
dock, she was greeted with cheers from
hundreds of sailors and people on
shore, who witnessed the departure.
All the steam whistles in this vicinity
saluted the vessel as she passed down
the bay.
The collier Brutus, which Is to ac-
company the Monterey to Manila, will
leave for San Francisco tomorrow, and
the two vessels will probably sail from
San Francisco Saturday or Sunday.

ing report from Commodore Schley:
Secretary Navy, Washington-Made recon-

BAIT FOR INSURGENTS.
A dispatch received here from Ha-
vana says that in the chamber of rep
resentatives there Senior Giberja, the
Autonomist leader, has presented mo-
ton urging the government Of Cuba to
request the insurgents of that island
to accept autonomy on the ground that
the insurgents themselves must be
aware that the country was not yet
ripe for independence. The president
of the chamber, the Havana dispatch
adds, declared, in a patriotic speech.

WASHINGTON SERENE.
Not Disturbed by Conflicting War
RumOrs.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-A brief bull
letin, telling Of Commodore Schley's
reconnaissance at Santiago ON Tuesday,
was all the information the navy de-
partment had to contribute to the press
today. The bulletin went to confirm
the press dispatches which told Of the
firing on the Notifications at Santiago,
but which have been so steadfastly
discredited ever since the first report.
1t appears from the bulletin given out
that Commodore Schley concentrated
a pretty good fire upon the Spanish
defenses, and 1t seems probable that
had he found conditions more propi-
tious than they were, he would have re-
solved the reconnaissance into an as
sault in force.

New York, April S.-The stock exchange was open today, the first time on Good Friday in over thirty years. When it was decided on Tuesday evening in re- sponse to a motion put on the board to forego the usual holiday, 1t was expected that the presidents message would be pre- scented to congress on Wednesday and that by Friday the shock of war might have come. The resembling of the motion was discussed when the postponement of the presidents message was announced, but no action was taken. As the event has proved there was no disposition to trade even yesterday, the clements preferring to wait for the development of the situation. AS for today's market, business was triv- ial in amount and fluctuations were totally without significance. As all of the ex changes were not closed it was supposed there might be some business. A large number of brokers shut up their offices and went homo when they perceived the condi- tions of affairs. Those who were left on the floor devoted their principal energies to sportive devices and tricks of hazing upon the boards Amembers whose motion was responsible Tor depriving them of the usual holiday. Prices drifted aimlessly below last nights close and closed about the lowest but at fractional net losses. Quo- tations both in the money and exchange were merely nominal, but small addition al engagement of gold for import was suf- 1cient to indicate that the tide of the pre- cious metal has not changed.

The attitude of sellers is also a waiting one. Staple cottons are the sub jeet of slightly better demand at the close of the week than was the case at the open ing.
