New York, June 15.-Justice DAILY, of

tachment against the property of Jo-
seph Letter, the wheat speculator OF
Chicago, for $793,02o, in favor of Otto q.
Lohrke, William z. Callahan and Will

the northwest, amounting to 100000 OF
5000, 900 bushels. Semi-authoritativein In
formation is also obtained that Armour
will take up all of Letters wheat. This
is the anti-climaX in the great board OF
trade drama in which the Letter family
loses millions.
The traditional irony of fate was COM
mented upon among traders when it
was learned that Mr.. Armour, who was
Mt one time Letters most formidable
competitor, now comes to the rescue.
London, June 15.-The collapse of the
Letter wheat corner has caused panic
in the Liverpool market. In London
the news of the collapse was received
with equanimity. The consensus of
opinion of number of operators on
Mark Lane is that the English markets
will gain in steadiness now that "the
plunger operating without regard to
market presidents is shaken out"
It is asserted on Mark Lane that the
collapse was due to Messrs. Armour

asked II, in view of the proved relations
between the United States and Great
Britain, the former could not be in

parliamentary secretary for the foreign
office, Mr.. Curzon, replied that her
majesty's government would be glad
to avail itself of any opportunity for
improving the commercial relations be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, but Great Britain now enjoyed
the most favored nation treatment in
all matters Of commerce and naviga-
tion, and the government had no
ground for believing more favorable
treatment would be accorded Great
Britain.

On Board the Dispatch Boat WANDA.
Off Santiago de Cuba, Via Kingston,
Jamaica, June 15.-The delay in the
arrival of the transports is ascribed
here to fear that after all Admiral
Cervera's squadron might not be in
Santiago harbor. Once for all Admiral
Sampson decided to settle this ques-
ton officially, and on Saturday last he
sent Lieut.. Victor Blue, of the gunboat
Suwanee, to investigate. Lieut.. Blue
landed on Saturday and proceeded with
guides to the hills overlooking the har-
Dor and the city. He distinctly saw and
definitely located four Spanish armored
cruisers and two torpedo boat destroy
ers. He saw also three small cruisers
or gunboats.
The results of his expedition he re-
ported Monday morning to Admiral
Sampson on the deck Of the flagship
New York.
Lieut.. Blue travelled about 70 miles,
following the eastward line of the city,
He brought out to the flagship copy
Of Santiago paper issued last Satur-
day, in which complaint is made that
the navy and army are failing to dis
tribute to the citizens their proportions
of the provisions remaining in the city.
Lieut.. Blues report has definitely ex-
posed the fiction that any of Cervera s
cruisers were in the Bahamas or In DO
sition to attack the transports, which
are now confidently expected at an
early date. Admiral Sampson compli-
mented him upon his daring and sue
cessful mission.
Lieut.. Blue reported also that Skin

Santiago between the Cubans and
Spanish. The latter have been repair
