STOCK MARKET WEAK
BEARS GIVE STRIKING EVIDENCE
OF THEIR INFLUENCE.
FURTHER BREAK IN TOBACCO
No New Developments, However,
Concerning Speculation I'm This
stoch-wheat Weaker and Lower
Provisions Weak.

NEW YORK, October 1.-The stock
market during to-day's short session
gave striking evidence that the power
of the bear faction had not diminished,
In effecting lower prices. The break in
Tobacco was the more sensational in
view Of the half-holiday. No new devel-
opments concerning speculation In this
stock we're announced. and the bears
pursued the same diligent tactics that
have been responsible for the tremendous
drop this week.
New spots of weakness have appeared
every day, and to-day's development was
Consolidated Gas. Competition OF the
electric light companies and a rival gas
plant furnished the basis for break al
61-2 points.
The railway list had an interval OF
strength. but the influence of the spe-
cialties was overpowering, and losses re-
suited.
BANK STATEMENT GOOD.
The bank statement exceeded the favor
able expectations. and its publication
checked the break.
The bond market moved In sympathy
with stock fluctuations, and showed more
activity, on easier money conditions
Government bonds were remarkably well
held throughout the week, concessions
being confined to half per cent. In the
rs. and IS each In the 3's and As.

that It is easily pierced by the needles

the deep tropic foliage and disclosing
occasionally skulking parties Of Span
iards. 1t all represented transform-
alton scene at the harbor.
Each discovery of the enemy was
greeted by the cracks Of carbine fire
along the edge of the camp ridge or by
the long roll of the launch's machine
gun, searching the thickets with a
leaden stream.
Shortly after midnight came the main
attack. The Spaniards made gallant
charge up the southwest slope, but
were met by repeated volleys from
the main body and broke before they
were one-thlrd of the way up the hill.
but they came SO close that at points
this was almost a hand-to-hand strug-
gle. The officers fired their revolvers.
The Spaniards got through the open
formation to the edge of the camp.
Colonel Jose Campina, the Cuban
guide, discharged his revolver and
they, turning and finding themselves
without support, ran helter-skelter
down the reverse side Of the hill. 1t
was during this assault that Assistant
Surgeon Gibbs was killed. He was
shot in the head in front Of his own
tent the farthest point of attack. He
fell Into the arms of Private Sullivan
and both dropped.
A second bullet threw dust In their
faces. Surgeon Gibbs lived ten min
utes. but did not regain consciousness.
The surgeons of the hospital corps
then removed their quarters to the
trenches about the old Spanish stock
nde north Of the camp. The attacks
were continued at intervals throughout
the rest of the night with firing by
small squads in various directions.
Towards morning the fire slackened.
Dawn Is the favorable time for attack,
and rs the east paled the marines, ly-
Ing on their guns, were aroused. Some
were actually asleep, as they had had
no rest for forty-eiGht hours and tired
nature could not longer stand the
strain. But no attack came.
