& Flagg wire us: 1.-THE market has shown
great strength all day, the factor towards
higher prices being largely increased railroad
earnings. Tobacco has been a feature the
rise being based on the mornings news OF a
general consolidation of all the plug tobacco
interests outside of the Liggett concern. There
was coed deal Of covering by shorts In
this stock. Sugar held its own and we think
the shorts put out some more stock. Man

Washington. Aug. 6.-The announce
ment that the United States government
will assume liability for the claims OF
the insurgents against the Spanish gov
ernment on account of injuries and dam
ages sustained in the Cuban insurrection
has caused the filing Of a large number of
claims with the state department. Very
many OF these are not based on events
occurring during the last rebellion, but
date back for very many years and relate
to excess customs collections, damages
sustained through municipal maladmin-
istration, alleged Illegal confinement and
such things.
on the other hand. there are now Span-
ish claims to the amount Of IS. 900 900
against the United States. A large num-
Der of these claims are made by Spanish
citizens on account Of property destroyed
or appropriated by the confederate troops
during the civil war, thus having exactly
the same basis as a number of claims
filed by American citizens against the
Spanish government for property seized
or destroyed by the insurgents in Cuba
Another class of these claims is of re-
cent date. flowing from the abortive ef-
forts of the commissioners and special
courts created by congress to settle the
FLORIDA claims" II is believed to be
probable. however, that I'm the adjustment
of peace terms our government will ig-
more all claims save those preferred by
American citizens for losses sustained I'm
Cuba, allowing the others to be arranged
for later on by a joint committee.

Fleet surgeon reports that they are in
better condition for service in this eli
mate than they were when they first
arrived south in June. Health of the
squadron at Guantanamo fairly good.
Sick list numbers about three per cent.
General health Of ships company has
fallen considerable since the first of
July. This. however, is not due to the
prevalence of any disease, but is prob
ably due to the release from the strain
and constant effort under which they
so long lived; and to this. probably
more than To any other cause. is due
their somewhat impaired physique. l
do not think il necessary to send the
marine battalion north. The crews
have borne their privations in a man
ner beyond praise. Three ships have
not been ashore for seven months and
three months in a debilitating cli-
mate"
Secretary Long stated tonight that II
is the purpose of the department to or
der north those ships not required for
blockade as soon as the exigencies of
the war will permit.
