THE WHEAT MARKET WEAK.
A Heavy Liquidation i'm July Option
NnficeaHle.

Chicago, June 1.-The wheat market to-
day was weak from the start. There was
heavy liquidation in the July option and
free selling of September by the local
element Crop conditions continue un-
changed. At the start there appeared 10
be some support from brokers identified
with the Letter interest. but the volumes
of offerings smothered the demand. The
June option, which is practically cash,
went off u cents.
July declined about cents and Sep
tember nearly 8. July at Liverpool de-
clined 8 cents a bushel.
CIearances were $4,000 bushels-really a
weak feature being headed for consumers.
Western receipts were lighter, and will
continue so until we strike the new crop,
which is only a few days distant Every
thing now indicates a readjustment of
values on a legitimate basis of supply and
demand.

Rock Island went off yesterday after
the announcement of the larger dividend.
The rate now, according to the new scale,
is per cent. There was also a stock
dividend of 10 per cent. The reason for
the drop is not easily recognizable ex-
cept that perhaps there was general ex-
pectation of q larger scrip dividend 1t
appears that the gross earnings of this
company for the past year, as shown
by the annual report, are two millions
more than the estimated figures which
have been given out monthly. This is
certainly not a bear argument.

Anxiety has been expressed by the War
Department officials as to whether Gen

vent the evacuation of Santiago by the
enemy. This anxiety was allaysd about
half past twelve tonight by the receipt
OF despatch from General Shafter which
contained confirmatiopIalso of the earlier
report of the beginning of the lombard
ment.
The belief is held by the best informed
officials that General Toral, the Spanish
commander will surrender when he finds
it will be impossible for him to evacuate
the city. Upon what ground this belief
is based could not be ascertained but that
information to that effect is in the hands

Washington, July 1o.-The lombard

three bulletins were posted the most I'M

eral Toral who succeeded General Linares
in command of the Spanish forces i'll San
tiago, when the latter was wounded, had
declined to surrender Internationally and
that the bombardment of the town would
be begun by the army and navy abou6
four O'Clock this afternoon. The. fact
that the bombardment was scheduled by
Shafter to begin so late in the day created
some comment, but no explanation Oh IL
was offered. In answer to questloh
bearing upon this point, General Corpln
said:

as to the reason General Shafter had 1or

was ready just at that time. You can
speculate about that as well as can.

caMPos LOVES THE QUEEN.
But He Loves His Country Far More He
Says.

Madrid, July 1O.-Martinez Campos in
the course of an interview at San Sebas-
tian said it was impossible that negoti-
ations for peace should be entered upon
by the Spanish and American govern
ments for the reason that the time was
not ripe. He had always advocated re-
forms for Cuba since 1869, but not auto
nomy. He fully recognized that autonomy
had not yielded the expected results part
" in consequence of the island war and
partly because it had been granted too
late. In 1896, he said, the late Senior
Canovas, when premier, had proposed to
him to introduce autonomy, but he
(Campos) declined to do SO, considering
the time unfavorable
General Campos denied a remark attri-
buted to him that he was less concerned
at the loss of Admiral Cervera's squad
ron than at the position of the Queen
Regent.
IT believe" said he, "that Spain and
the monarchy are intimately connected
