CALIFORNIA WINE. GROWERS ANXIOUS.
A Recent Sale OF a Large Lot at Low Figures
Disturbs Them.

stockton cal Feb THE wine grow
ers of this state have a serious PROPOSE
ton staring them in the face. according
to Charles \ Wetmore. the prominent
wine man of Stockton. who has just re-
turned from san Francisco with the in
formation that a sale of 30 900 gallons of
wine has been made by the Auglo-Cali-
fornian FSank Of the california Wine As
ISOLATION.
The price paid for the bulk of the lot
was cents, ana the remainder includ-
ing the choicest dry wines and about 10
600 gallons of port was sacrificed at .
cents.
The Scent price represents a valuation
on ordinary wines ready for shipment
which would be equivalent to not more
than cents for similar old wines in
country cellars, ana deduCting the cost
of detention racking and clarifying, il
would represent a valuation for similar
news wines in the country Of not more
than 8 or cents
Many dealers have anticipated a break
and in prices and haze kept out Of the
market hoping to secure wines al almost
their own figure, The result is that there
is no SADIE for a large quantity Al any
price.
With millions Of dollars invested IN he
wine business in the state. the producers
are in Il peculiar position at present, ana
if they do not succeed in checking the
cut rates. Mr. WctmOrc declares tnat
they will have To go ont Of business.

WASHINGTON, April 50.-Arrangements
for the transportation OF from 6,ooo to
10000 troops to Cuba are practically
completed Nothing remains now to be
done but to carry out the details.
1t is believed by the War Department
that the eight transport ships to be used
in conveying the troops to Cuba Will be
ready to sail from Tampa by Wednesday
next.
The place for the landing has been de-
termined, but it's location is only known
to the high officials and they will not
under any circumstances divulge it, Tor
prudential reasons.
1t is, howeve-, almost a certainty that
the troops will enter Cuba at Matanzas,
Cardenas or Sagua, and the impression
is that Cardenas will be the port Sc
lected.
This town Is practically unfortited,
and it is believed has but few mines and
torpedoes in the harbor.
The President will on Monday nomi'
nate to the Senate the Major-Genera!s
and Brigadier-Cienerals who will com
mand the volunteer army.

Sea Fight Probably Over.

HONG KONG, April 3O.-There is much
excitement here, and many wild rumors
are ahoat, because no definite informa-
ton has been received from Manila Tor
twelve hours. Each additional hour OF
suspense strengthens the belief here
that great naval battle has taken place.
Ii the Spanish have been defeated, no
truthful message will be sent until Ad-
miral Dewey obtains possession Of the
cable. =,
The last news was that Admiral
Dewey's fleet had been sighted off Cape
Bolinno, in the island OF Luzon, Philip
pines. The weather was very stormy,
too rough to successfully manoeuvre
ships in naval engagement.
Cape Bolinao is TO miles north Of
Manila. The Spanish fleet was waiting
for the American squadron in Manila
Bay.
The plan was for the insurgents to at
tack the city in the rear as soon as the
first broadside was poured into the
Spanish feet 1t is not believed here
that tie city has been taken, though Adj
miral Dewey may have destroyed or
captured the Spanish fleet.
This is more plausible, since Admiral
Dewey's instructions prohibited him
from aiding the revels 50 lar as to bonn
harding the city.

TARn.Ly following the lead of Great
Britain, Russia. France, Italy and other
Powers, Portugal yesterday issued her
proclamation of neutrality, which ne
cessitated the departure Of the Spanish
fleet from Cape Verde Islands, as the
British and Chinese notices of neutrality
nccessitated the sailing OF our Asatic
squadron first from Hong Kong and
then from Mrs Bay. Germany and
Austria are now the most important
European nations that have not de.
clared their neutrality. That they will
do 50, however, may be taken for granted,
as every government must take its stand
either a. neutral or an ally Of one OF
the belligcrents. On this side of the
Atlantic, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and
other countries have fallen in line as
avowed neutrals, and the rest may be
expected to follow suit.

This is the way to Peace"

TIE rise in prices that has been an
nonnced is regular incident in tim" Of
war. At present there Is no foundation
tor increased cost of beef or any other
food, except, indeed, i'll precedent.
"Prces always go up in wartime, 50
we'll add a few cents Il pound on beef
is the arguments Of the dealers. There
is neither any increased demand nor any
scarcity Of supply as yet to necessitate
it. 1t rests on the same basis as the
advance in miles that was undertaken
in die Southwest, and which the
Government sternly refused to counte-
nance. OF course, those who clamored
for war can feel that in higher beef they
are paying part Of the cost of war.
