ITALY'S SORE TROUBLE.
DisssnsIons and Collapse of the Ministry Ex-
pscted at Any Momeut-Milan
Held by "A Large Force.

ROME, May 10. The government re-
ports that the whole kingdom is quiet,
but it is believed that the position of
the ministry is extremely critical. Dis
sensions and consequent collapse are
expected at any moment. 1t is
not impossible that Signor Crispps
turn may have come again. He
declares that the disturbances are
the outcome of anarchist propa-
ganda, and should prove salutary
warning TO the classes, who must
organize for their own defense. Three
thousand frenzied petroleuses took part
in the riots at Leghorn. The rioters
soaked the doors of the churches with
petroleum, intending to fire them, but
the troops frustrated the plot 1t is
reported that the government intends
to call out 100, 900 men in the Milanese
district. Milan is already held by a
large force, but the courts-martial
there have given fresh proof of the or
ganized nature Of the riots.

THE BUSINESS SITUATION.
The Outlook for Trade "A Flattering One
Rapid Advance In Wheat Prices
Business Failures.
New YORK, May 14-I'radstreets

New YORK, May 14.-Bradstreets
commercial report to-day says:
The business situation gains rather than
loses In attractivenesS as the spring season ad-
vances. While, OF course, the very favorable
situation in cereals Is still the handspring OF
the improvement manfesting itself In many
sections OF the country, there are other causes
combining therewith to make the outlook for
business for the current year q fattering one
Following the rapid advances in prices
OF wheat, which apparently eliminated for
the time being early in the current week
In a quotation for cash wheat unequaled, with
one single exception, and that only for very
short period OF time, for % years past, there
has come lull and u reaction from the abb
normally high prices caused by the squeeze IN
May delivery, which, however, has left prices
far above quotations for at least ten years
back Telegraphic and cable advtces to
Bradstreets only accentuate the already
well-knowu bullish nature OF the immediate
wheat situation, while on the other hand,
owing to the generally admitted good crop
situation particularly In this and other coun-
tries, the outlook appears to favor somewhat
lower prices than those now ruling for next
seasons yield although above the average OF
those ruling for the past six years. With the
qdietug down OF interest in wheat there has
come partial shifting OF speculative interest
to other grains, particularly corn and oats, and
many classes Of provisions, with advances in
nearly all those lines
A rather more confident feeling seems to per-
wade the iron trade, which Is reflected In frac-
tional advances for leading makes of iron and
steel Perhaps one OF the most encouraging
features Of the week. and one especially accept
able. because OF the hitherto very depressed
conditions prevailing, is the reported slight i'm
provement in inquiry and in tone in the wool
market at several centerS
The price situation is still one OF great
strength, but particularly so in food products,
which are, with few exceptions notably coffee
and sugar, higher on the week

ABOUT THE HARVARD.
Naval Onicers Treat Lightly the story That
the Great ship Ia Bottled Up
ut st. Pierre.

New YORK, May 1s.-There are as
surances that the war board has found
a way to get the Harvard out of st.
Pierre harbor without risk of destruc-
ton by the Spanish torpedo destroy
err Terror. 1t involves the use of
the Yale and the Montgomery to
watch the port at the three-mile
limit, to wait until the Harvard
appears, and then to be prepared,
in case the Terror follows, or other
Spanish torpedo boat destroyers come
along, to fall upon them with their
heavy and light rapid-tire guns and
destroy them. On the other hand,
there are naval officers who laugh at
the fuss that has been made over the
situation at St. Pierre and declare
that there is nothing to prevent the
Harvard from leaving If she desires to
do 40

A STRICTLY POPULAR LOAN.
Issued In S25 Amounts-6O 900 Agen-
oies for Their Sale to he Established.

WASHINGTON, May 13,-The treasury
department is in thorough accord with
the apparent sentiment of the country
that the bond issue, if congress au-
thorizes one, shall be popular loan
in every sense. There will be no syn
dictate operations. 1t is proposed
to have a perfectly straightforward,
simple and easily understood sys-
tenn in disposing of the bonds,
which will permit every person in
the country who has S25 or more
to make an investment in the loan.
Never before in the history of the
country and probably in the history
of any other country, have such com
prehensive plans for offering an issue
of securities to the whole people been
worked out. Assistant Secretary Van
derlip, who has direct charge of the
matter has already in hand plans
which will result, If congress author
ICES the loan, in establishing over co.
900 agencies for the disposal of the
bonds

A FLAG OF TRUCE.
One Now Floating over Manila-@5,OOO
Reg ular and 100000 Volunteer
Spanish Soldiers There

LONDON, May Is. The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Daily Mail says:
The Spaniards at Manila are incensed against
the British because IL believed that the Es-
merada piloted the Americans into the bay.
IL IS feared that the Spanish soldiers, who are
unpaid, will attack the British factories The
British gunboat Linnet brought from Manila
both the Spanish and American nails The
Spanish authorities and Adm Dewey
have been equally courteous in permit
ting communication with the land
and sanctioning the forwarding of let
ters and documents by any and all means which
offered themselves. But the Spaniards have
made up their minds to hold out to the last.
They are in u position to give the Amer
leans deal OF trouble. There are 10000
Spanish soldiers In the garrison at Manila
and 100000 volunteers enrolled. Scores Of
coasting steamers are imprisoned on the
river Pasg which Is blocked ut the mouth
by a sunlxen schooner. A flag OF truce Is flying
over Manila and the people are allowed to pro-
coed freely to and from the ships in the harbor.
The Americans are on duty night and day, on
the lookout for boats which endeavor to run
the blockade with food supplies. The hospital
is supported by Americans The Spaniards are

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.
The War Revenue Measure In the Senate
Annexation OF Hawaii In the


WASHINGTON, May 6.-The war rev.
enue bill will occupy the attention of
the senate this week almost to the ex-
clusion of other business. The indi-
cations are for two weeks debate,
and there is no assurance that it will
be concluded within that period of
time. The principal portion of the de-
bate will be on the report of the re-
publican members of the committee in
favor of restoring the bond provision.
The probabilities are that this propo-
sition will prevail, If the war contin'
ues, but before the vote can be reached
upon it there will be great deal of
talk for and against it.
The most notable event in the house
proceedings of the present week will be
the Introduction of the resolutions for
the annexation of Hawaii. The COM
mittee on foreign affairs has decided
to report favorably the resolutions,
and will do so probably on Tuesday.
On Wednesday the banking and cur
rency committee will present general
banking and currency bill, but it is
understood that it will not be consid-
cred this week. Final action upon
any currency measure at this session
seems improbable. OF the appropria-
ton bills in conference, some progress
has been made upon the sundry
civil and post office measures, and
one or both may be reported, though
there is disposition to delay them in
conference until the revenue bill is
well under way in the senate. The
house committee is practically ready
to report the general deficiency bill
and may bring it in this week. A bill
to establish non-p partisan labor com
mission to study problems with view
to suggesting appropriate legislation
affecting labor may be considered this
week.

GUSSIE DID NOT LAND.
The steamer with IA Cargo Of Rifles and
Ammunition for Insurgents Forced
to Put to Sea.

KEY WEST, Fla, May IA. -lnforma-
ton of vague character reached here
of the attempt to land on Cuban soil of
a cargo of arms and ammunition taken
over 10y the steamer Gussie on Wednes-
day. The Gussie came from Tampa
with :, 900 rifles and large quantity
of ammunition, clothing and provi-
sions for the Cuban insurgents, The
expedition was in charge of Capt. j. IL.
Dorst of the United States cavalry
With him were about 100 members OF
the First artillery of the regular army
and ten Cuban scouts. Arrangements
had been made to have body of in
surgents meet the Gusse at Cabanas to
receive the expedition and carry it to
the insurgent troops. When the Gussie
reached Cabanas, however, there was
no one there to meet her but a
body of Spanish soldiers, who opened
fire from the shore, The auxiliary
gunboats Wasp and Manning had met
the Gussie on the way over and acted
as escort They returned the fire of
the Spanish troops, ana are said TO
have killed many, though this, of
course, is largely conjecture. Under
the protection of the gunboats the
scouts and detail of soldiers made a
landing, but they were driven back by
the Spanish troops who maintained a
vigorous attack. One of the American
party was shot in the arm, but none
of the others were injured. The
Gussie eventually abandoned the at
tempt to land her cargo, and at last
accounts was still cruising along the
coast awaiting favorable chance to

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Unotficial in

partment that number of Austrian
artillerymen were sent TO Cuba some
