Railroad Notes.

Open rates of $l2, first class, and $11.
second class, between Chicago and New
York will go into effect within a week,
unless the presidents of the trunk lines
devise some plan Of patching up the de-
mOralzed rate situation in the meantime.
The board of managers OF the Joint
Traffic association has approved Spec
ial fare to the national Republican
league meeting to be held at Omaha in
July from the l3 to the 15. 1t has also
recommended a reduction, effective
June ~, in rates on grain products, ex-
cept corn, from Chicago to New York
from 20 cents per 100 pounds to 1S cents.
The rates on corn has been reduced
from II to l5 cents.
Officials Of western railroad lines were
in session at Chicago this week trying to
reach settlement of the live stock rate
war. Failing to agree the roads propose to
form pool, practically disregarding the
law in the case. The situation at Kan
sas City has been so persistently bad
that many freight men believe their
only remedy lies in pooling. The TO-
cent rate now in effect is costing the
roads thousands of dollars and every at
tempt to restore rates to the tariff basis
of 231a cents has failed. The question
as to whether the railways or shippers
should pay the war tax on bills of lading
failed to come before the meeting, owing
to the inability of the railway attorneys
to agree on report.

DOLPHIN SHELLS THE SPANISH
Playes an Important Part In skirmishes

Playes an Important Part In Sxirmishes
Around Guantanamo.
KEY WEST, June pa vessel that
has just arrived here from Guantanamo
brought one of the officers of the gun
boat Dolphin, who is returning
home on sick leave. The officer in ques-
ton says the Dolphin has been cooper
ating with the marines in Guantanamo
harbor, though lately matters have been
quiet there. When he left on Sunday
there were "a ships in the harbor, in
Guiding fighting vessels, colliers, the
hospital ship Solace and the Red Cross
society's steamer Texas, with Miss Clara
Barton. It was the prevalent belief
that Santiago de Cuba would be taken
before July /, as the American troops
were only five miles distant from the
city and closing in. An excellent water
supply has been obtained OH the shore
at Guantanamo, where there are 600
Cubans in addition to the force of Amer
ican marines. The passage leading to
the inner harbor, the officer reports, was
thoroughly cleared OF mines by launches
from the Dolphin and other ships. Eight
mines, weighing 1S0 pounds each, We're
taken up and sent to New York, where
they will be cleaned before they are put
into use in American waters.
The Spanish troops at Caimanera and
other points on the inner harbor, are
cut off from Santiago and are starving.
They may be captured at pleasure. The
Texas and the Marblehead have already
destroyed the forts at the inner harbor
and can shell Caimanera whenever they
are ready. The Dolphin took con-
spicuous part in the bombardment of
Santiago on June 6. After the principal
firing she went toward the shore and
fired shells into train approaching the
city with soldiers. With the glasses it
could be seen that the train was wrecked
and the men were scrambling into the
woods. The insurgents afterward re-
ported that 20 men and II women We're
killed.
AT Guantanamo the Dolphin protect
ed the camp of marines at night, cast
ing her search light into the woods oc-
cupied by the Spaniards and shelling
their position with 3-inch shrapnel
guns. Throughout the fighting on both
sides of the bay the Dolphin raked the
Spanish shelters.

WIN Fight to the End.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Further ad-
vices from Manila say the Spaniards
have determined to fight to the death
and that desperate fighting is expected
when the American troops arrive.
Manila advices say it is supposed that
the German warships will prevent the
bombardment Of Manila and itisalleged
that Prince Henry of Prussia is expected
there.
General Shafter has reported to the
war department that Spanish troops
numbering 5000 with pack trains and
cattle are advancing from Manzanillo
and are now within 81 miles of San
tiago.
Preparations for general advance Of
the American troops on Santiago are be-
ing steadily pushed forward.

New York stock Market.

New YORK, June 29.-Most stocks
showed small losses at the opening Of
the market, but there was fair sprink-
ling Of gains by important stocks. To-
bacco and Brooklyn Transit rebounded
a sharp fraction from yesterdays late
depression. There was considerable ac-
tiyity in the trading. Rock Island was
traded in ex-dividend in the stock of 10
per cent and a quarterly dividend of IA
per cent.
Large buying orders in special stocks
checked the reactionary tendency, and
sugar, tobacco and Brooklyn Transit
moved up one to two points.

the eject that nve paitalIons OF Spanish
troops, which left that city several
days ago to reinforce General Linares,
returned to Manzanillo two days after
their departure. This is by far the
most important news received today.
1t is regarded as Indicating the failure

of General Pando, to rush 10000 trained
troops to the defense of Santiago.
