STOCK MARKET ABUOYANT
Bullish Enthusiasm Inspired by the
Santiago Fight.
The Highest Prices OF the Day Made
on Initial Trans
actions.

New York, July 5--The inspiring war
news was the overshadowing influence in
the early dealings in the stock market
this morning. The magnificent and prac-
tical results of the action off Santiago
provided a logical incentive to bullish en-
thusiasm and the market opened buoy
ant and with the trading upon a larger
scale than for several weeks.
Foreign houses had heavier orders in
the local market than for a long time
and their purchases aggregated about
$4,000 shares of stocks, the largest TAX
ings being in st. Paul. London specuIa-
tors had twenty-four hours advantage
of those in New York in respect of the
news from the war and the cabled quo
tations showed the American market
ruling from 1-2 to 3 points above Friday s
closing.
While the market showed great
strength at the opening and many strik-
ing advances were recorded, the full eX-
tent of the London rise was not followed
and from the opening there were exceed
ingly heavy realizing sails. These served
to check the markets advance and, in
prices of the day were made on the mi
tial transactions.
Trading fell away when the market
became reactionary and the close was
dull and rather heavy.

THEP0RT0R|CAN CAMPAIGN
War Department Takes 1t Tn
der Active Consideration.
NO OBSTACLES In THE WAY
Troops to BE Sent From Newport
News, Charleston, Savannah, and
FernaEdina - Thirty Thousand
Men to Comprise the Expedition
which VIII Soon BE Dispatched.

The Porto Rican campaign is again re-
ceiNing consideration by the Secretary of
War and his advisers.
Now that Cervera's squadron has been
destroyed and since Camara's fleet has
temporarily disposed of itself by its pas
sage through the SueZ Canal, troops may
be embarked from the Atlantic Coast
points very readily.
Heretofore ii was feared that an attack
might be made upon transports leaving
these ports, but they can now leave in
separate expeditions and without naval
convoy.
Fernandina, Savannah, Charleston. and
Newport News have been definitely de-
cided upon for the embarkation. Fully
30.e9O troops viii be concentrated at these
ports.
Each Of the large training camps will
be directed to furnish a proporuonate
quota of troops
Fernandina is the most favorabl ports
as regards distances. 1t IS ], ,I20 miles from
San Juan; Savannah is 1850 miles,
Charleston is 400 miles, and Newport
News is 1.6l0 miles. 1t viii be noted
that the last-named place is $50 miles
farther than Charleston, and for this
reason but few regiments viii be sent via
Newport News.
Several regiments win go from Camp
Alger by that route. but the majority of
them and those selected from Chicka-
mauga viii proceed by way of Charles
ton and Savannah. Each of the four
cities mentioned is credited with having
excellent wharfage and harbor facilities
The depth Of water at Fernandina is
twenty-five feet, at Savannah, twenty
three feet, at Charleston, thirty-five feet
and at Newport News. thirty-five feet
Railroad terminal facilities are also ex-
cellent
Lines of railroad lead from Chicka-
mauga and converge at each place like
the ribs Of a vast fan. over the net
work Of lines troops viii be hurried when
the orders for beginning Of the Porto
Rican movements are issued.
Various reasons have been assigned for
the practical abandonment Of Tampa as a
point of embarkation for subsequent eX-
peditions. IL has been stated that Tampa
lacks wharfage and terminal facilities
but this is fatty denied by persons who
are in a position TO know AS q matter
Of fact, terminal facilities at Tampa are
superior 10 any one Of the four en-
barkation points named with the pos
sihle exception Of Newport News.
The real reason for the change from
Tampa to Fernandina, Savannah,
Charleston and Newport News was the
alleged arbitrary methods of the Plant
system by means Of which considerable
trouble was occasiOned to the quarter
masters bureau, it is stated, in its en-
deavors to have the Plant system and
connecting railway lines work in harmo-
ny in the transportation and transferring
Of troops
Now that Cervera's feet has been de-
stroyed, the War Department officials
are inclined to think that there is no
reason whatever for the sending of
troops from Tampa until the main move
ment on Havana begins. when it may be
necessary TO use Tampa as a near point
OF embarkation 10 the principal objec-
tive point Of such a movement.

There was a conslderable interest in the

There was a considerable interest in the
tone that the market would take yester-
day after the three days holiday and the
great war news that had been received
during the interval. The result was un-
satisfactory to those that expected
strong bull market After short al
vance in the morning dullness ensued
and during the entire day after that the
market was similar 10 that of last week
with the additional disappointment of fall
ing prices. The inference seems TO be
that the street is not satisfied with the
situation at Santiago. The comment was
made several times by careful observers
yesterday that the fail OF Santiago stil
seems some distance off, and that before
the American flag Is raised there may
yet be great deal of hard and desperate
fighting. This is not the story that was
expected last week even before the Span
ish feet was captured and destroyed.
| Secretary Alger said yesterday that the
American army Is prostrated by the heat
and the terrible fighting of the two days
| last week, and that it IS in no condition
| to fight again Immediately. He intimated
strongly that there is a very strong hope
| put in the American feet and that if
| Admiral Sampson cannot enter the har-
| Dor of Santiago the bombardment will be
| postponed until re-enforcements can reach
| Gen. Shafter. The re-enforcements will
be rushed in order that the army need
not remain in danger of a sortie of the
Spaniards while il is waiting. 1t is be-
lieVed, however, that Sampson Will be
able to get into the harbor and aid in
the bombardment perhaps within a few
hours. There can be no question, how
ever, that the American army has met
with a more stubborn resistance than
was expected and that the campaign
promise to be longer one than was at
first thought. There is some uneasiness
also over the situation at Manila. Fears
are expressed of the attitude both of the
insurgents and of the German warships.
| It seems probable. however, that London
would have heard of any intended inter-
| ference of Germany before the news
would have reached this side, and the
Americans were strong in the London
market yesterday. There seems no par
ticular reason to expect bull market yet
| for several days.
