The market seemed wholly indifferent to advance yesterday, and July there was equal 10 4%c lower than the close last night. The weather, too. fair and favorable throughout the winter wheat belt. in marked contrast with the conditions which prevailed yesterday. This improve ment in itself was a weak factor, and when the slump in Liverpool added, the bear ish sentiment became irresistible. Much of the long stuff taken on during the prevalence of the bull sentiment yesterday liqui- dated and there was active selling for the short account and hammering cf the market by professional bears. Prices rallied on reports from various sections of the country unfayor- able, and more especially from Kansas. reit- erating yesterdays advices about the sudden deterioration of the crop prospects. Lower clos ing Liverpool cables caused another sag in values, and the market heavy at a slight improvement the lowest price of the day until Bradstreets report of the change for the week in the worlds visible supply ceived. That gave a decrease in all positions of 10, GOO bushels, and caused slight rally. But the advance merely served the purpose of the bears. who had come to the conclusion that all the crop damage that had been heard of would still leave more than enough wheat tended the glad hand to the buyers the Bradstreets statement and accommodated them with all the wheat they wanted for fu- ture delivery. Prices fell off once more. but re- covered some of the loss before the close. July left off 1%c down and September declined 7sc.

MASSACRE OF MISSIONARIES.
A Mamma Natives Account of the
Horrible Tragedy.

LONDON, May pa letter re-
ceived in this city from Sierra Leone,
West Coast of Africa, says that a
Mamma native, who was with the
American missionaries at Rotoufunk
when they were massacred by the in
surgents, but who made his escape by
resuming his native garb, furnishes the
following account of the tragedy:
I'VE started to walk to Sierra Leone,
but had only gone half mile when
we were met by war boys, who blocked
the way. Rev Mr.. Cain tried to fright
en- them by firing a revolver over their
heads, but seeing that they were deter
mined to do mischief, he cast his re-
volver away, and said he would not
have anybody's blood on his hands.
The war boys then seized the party,
including Misses Hatfield, Archer and
Kent (Schneck), stripped them of their
clothing, dragged them back to the
mission house, in front of which the
war boys cut down Rev Mr. Cain and
hacked him to death, and then treated
Miss Archer and Miss Kent (SchnecD
in the same way. Miss Hatfield who
was very i'll, was thrown on barbed
wire netting, and finally her throat was
cut Mrs. Cain escaped to a bush with
a native girl, but the war boys went
seeking for them. and they were after
wards killed"

CERVERA'S INTENTIONS.
What the Spanish Admiral Origi-
naIIy Intended to Do.

NEW YORK, May pa special to
the World" from Quebec says:
Senior Polo Bernabe. before he
sailed from Quebec for Europe, con-
fided to a friend the original inten-
tions of Admiral Cervera's squadron.
1t appears that the Spanish fleet, be-
ing acknowledgedly unable to meet the
American vessels, was to avoid it and
cause all the damage it could to the
American coast. Among other places
to be bombarded was Portland, and an
attempt was to he made to blow up
a powder mill near that place.
Senior Polo succeeded in making sat-
isfactory arrangements for the coal
ing of the fleet, but the agreement was
not carried out, owing to American in
f1uences in the coal concerns. and news
of this fact drove the Spanish squad
ron from their original intention of
touching at Cape Breton, and made
them take refuge at Santiago de Cuba.
Since then the Spanish fleet has left
on its Journey to Cadiz. Spain's tactics
will be to trust to fever and the terri
BILE expenses daily incurred by the
American Government, and she will not
risk a repetition of the Manila disaster.
I'm the fall" the late ambassador
said. Spain will abandon Cuba, after
having made her enemy pay dearly
for their victory"

PORTO RICO TO BE TAKEN.
Said That Sampson VIII Imme-
diately Move on the Island.

CHICAGO, May 25.-Special to the
News" from Washington:
Porto Rico is to be taken. The Presi-
dent has decided that Sampson shall
Immediately move on that island, While
Schley guards Cervera. At least 30
600 troops will be sent, and another
army is at the same time to enter Gu
ba. transports now being ready.
From a Cabinet officer it is learned
that the haste in ordering troops and
ships to Porto Rico is owing to the fact
that the President has learned that the
powers are preparing to ask that Spain
be permitted to withdraw from Cuba
and allow peace to be declared. This
intimation came direct from Europe.
The President wants to say, Yes,
Spain may withdraw. That's why we
made war But we will hold Porto
Rico and the Philippines
Without a dissenting voice the Cabi-
net decided that the greatest. possible
haste should be made in the invasion.
General Miles reported that Spain now
had 1900 troops in Porto Rico, and
that he thought the United States
should send at least 10000. The Secre-
tary of War had a conference with the
President, and it was decided that
Sampson should be sent straight back
to San Juan The President feared
that when Spain lost her fleet she would
sue for peace before the United States
had the island. He said it would be
much better to have Porto Rico when
negotiations began.
Secretary Alger said that the army
was ready to go to Cuba at any time.
When he returned to his office he sent
for Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn and
General Miles, and notified them of the
call for x, 900 men, and the President
asked for an immediate movement of
troops to both islands. Meiklejohn has
charge of the transports, and he said
he was ready to begin. The first men
to be sent to Cuba will occupy high
and healthy lands, and remain until the
general occupation of the island begins.
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn and
General Miles will hasten the move
ments of the troops with the greatest
possible speed.

the emergency arise are prepared TO
begin anew the WORK just completed.
The failure of some of the States, not
ably four or five in the South, to fur
nish the men called for up to this time
is a surprise to the army officers on
duty here. but is ascribed not to a lack
Of patriotism, but to a belief probably
shared by many of the National
Guardsmen who had home ties and
business connections which they could
not we'll afford to give up, and that
plenty of other persons not SO encum-
bered would readily be found to take
their places.
Ample time will be given the States
referred to to fill the apportionment
made by the War Department, and the
expectation is that they will be ac-
complished without further unneces-
sary delay. Should these States be at
fault, the probability is that the fact
will be reported to Congress formally
by the Secretary of War for such ac-
ton as may be deemed best under the
circumstances. No resort can be had
to draft measures without explicit au-
thority therefor from the national Leg
islature.

ed a statement showing the strength OF
