by War Rumors.
THE GENERAL FEELING
That the Affairs of Cuba are Nearing
Crisis, Coupled With the Remarkable
Military Activity Displayed In This
Country, Caused Another Great Slump
in Stocks on Wall Street Today.

apprehensions are felt in banking cir
cles, as to the outcome of the Cuban
question which, has affected American
securities. This gave the bears an
additional force and they began to
hammer down the prices from the
start. The initial prices are more than
one per cent lower since yesterday AID
have gone steadily downward. At nocn
the losses on stocks generally are three
percent aud over from the close of the
exchange on last night. There is a
pronounced weakness in all classes of
Span ish securities on all the exchanges
in Europe as comes the report from
London today.
The market went into Generalization
this afternoon The pressure to sell is
enormous. The panicky feeling on the
part of everybody was relieved when
noon came and the session closed.

Peace or War;

This is the general sentiment aboct
the capital: Peace in Cuba or war
with Spain. This, it is believed in
congress, should be the policy. Peace
in Cuba meacs the independence Of
Cuba Spain has permitted the time
to pass when anything short of inde-
pendence would suffice. This is prac-
tically the opinion of congress, and it
is more than mere speculation. No
doubt is felt that the independence of
Cuba is to be recognized by this gov
ernment. Whether this causes war
depends upon Spain. =-S.-
