FINANCIAL SITUATION
A GAIN IN CASH IN NEW YORK
BANKS FOR THE WEEK
Cash Reserve Highest Reported for
Over a Year-Situation Never
Before Equaled

NEW YORK, June 1S.--The Finan-
. cier says:
. After seven weeks continuous ex-
pansion in loans, during which the total
Q increased something like $so,0Oo0oo,
. the statement of the New York banks .
shows a decrease of $42e,OOo for the :
week ending June 18th. 1t cannot be
Q said, however, that the shrinkage was .
due to general causes. On the con- .
trary a detailed comparison of the in .
. uividual items reveals the fact that .
one bank decreased its loans nearly .
. $30000O0. The other GA institutions, .
. therefore, must have gained in the .
Q neighborhood of two and a half mill .
lions in loans. The bank reporting .
. the heavy decrease in loans increased .
it's cash almost in proportion, but the .
total expansion of S6.765 900 in the de- .
. posits runs generally through the list, .
and the average reserves are higher .
. than one week ago. The total gain in .
. cash was $7,123, 100. and the reserve .
stands at $50 272, $780, the highest record .
. for over year. The banks are gain .
. ing largely from the interior One re- .
suit of this is that legal tender hold .
ings are increasing rapidly, the gain
y
. large part of this money came out of .
Q the New Yorks during March and .
. April, when Withdrawals were the rule. .
The total cash reserves of the banks
. were never larger than at present, al .
Q though the excess reserve has several .
. times been higher In the face of
. such showing, it would be only nat .
. ural to have the money market follow .
. to even lower figures than now prevail,
Q but the pending government loan pre- .
vents any decline in rates. Conserva- .
. tive opinion, in fact, favors the belief
. that the rates are going higher, and
. that the low point has been reached.
. The statement may not be favorable. .
. from a strictly baMxing point of view, .
but in larger sense 1t is a source Of
satisfaction to know that the banks .
were never better prepared than at
. present to aid in the floating of the
. new bonds, and that a financial opera
. ton which heretofore has required in
. ternational assistance will be COM
. pleted without any disturbance other .
. than possible temporary fiuctuation.
and certainly without aid from abroad. .

WELL ON THEIR WAY
THE TROOP TRANSPORTS LEAVE
HONOLULU ON TIME
Given a Greeting Such as Is Accorded
Kings-Men All Well-But
Two Desertions

VICTORIA, B. c., June 1S.-Advices to-
day per steamer Miowera from Honolulu
June 10 say:
The United States transports City of Pek-
ing, City of Sydney and the Australia ar
rived here together on the list inst. The
voyage down was pleasant and the vessels
Travelled abreast most of the way, although
it was necessary for both the Peking and
Australia to slow up and wait for the City
of Sydney. Eight mild cases of measles
broke out on the Australia. The sick men
were separated from the other passengers
on the ship by being quartered on the hur-
rcane deck The surgeons had the cases
well in hand when the vessei arrived. As
soon as the three vessels were sighted all
Honolulu turned out to welcome the SOL
diers. The docks were lined with people,
and as the vessels entered the harbor the
spectators yelled themselves hoarse. Such
scene of enthusiasm had never been w.t.
messed In Honolulu. When the vessels ar
rived 1t was late so the order was given to
allow no one on shore, but the next morn
ing about one-half of the troops were al
lowed to land. During the day they were
given the freedom of the city, committee
of citizens furnishing free cars and other
conveyances. The men visited Waikiki and
other points of interest, and had pleasant
time generally. At noon President Dole
and his Cabinet received the officers Of the
expedition. During the reception the stairs
and grounds of the executive building were
thronged with people. The Second Battal-
ion of the California regiment arrived few
moments before the reception began.
During Friday. June 3, the soldiers were
entertained on the grounds of the execu-
tive building President Dole was on hand
to welcome them
The visiting troops were introduced tothe
President by members Of the National
Guard and citizens generally. The utmost
freedom prevailed the affair being very in
formal. To each man the chief executive
gave a word of welcome to Honolulu. An
outdoor luncheon was served by the ladies'
of this city.
Left on the Fourth
HONOLULU, June 9.-The United States
transports left for Manila on the 4th. The
Charleston began to draw anchor about Z
o'clock. She steamed outside and waited
for the fleet consisting of the Peking, Aus
tralia and City of Sydney, which got away
about 10 o'clock, with the Charleston In the
rear. While the vessels were In port they
took in the neighborhood of 1000 tons CT
coal. OF the $500 men among the various

A Palpable Fake

HONOLULU, June s.-The Hawaiian
Star of June publishes the following story
regarding an attempt to blow UP the United
States steamer City of Peking while that
vessel was in port here. If report which is
in circulation is true, Honolulu came near
being the scene of as frightful disaster
as that of the Maine and in much the same
way. The story is that nothing more nor
less than an attempt to blow up the Peking
magazine was frustrated just in time An
enlisted man, 1t is said, was caught in the
act of arranging fuse connecting with the
magazine.
The magazine contains 400 tons of powder
and had been guarded closely. The bastard,
it is said, is now under the closest guard
and when the Peking gets out Of the high
seas will be hanged to the yard arm. The
greatest secrecy concerning the matter is
being maintained for fear it would mar the
spirit of the present occasion. The alleged
culprit is said to be half Spaniard.
The publication caused a sensation in this
city. Military officers on the ship denied
the truth of the story but their denial was
made in half-hearted way.

No Naval Maneuvers

LONDON, June 1S.-It is announced that
Great Britain will not hold her annual naval
maneuvers this year, which has caused
much speculation as to the reason for this
step. In some quarters 1t is said 1t is due
to lack of coal, owing to the Welsh strike.
But in other quarters it Is believed that i'm
portant events are in sight
The officials Of the British admiralty de-
cline to give their reasons for abandoning
the maneuvers but they say It is not be-
cause of lack of coal, as ample supplies of
fuel were secured previous to the strike.

General credence attaches to the report

Of annexation and American tyranny.

the Cuban Junta in New York, protesting

CARRIERS ARE GAYER.
Than Ever Before, and Startling in Their
Brilliancy.

New York Sun: Carriers are gayer
than ever before. No woman dreams
of wearing plain elastic bands to keep
up her stockings nowadays. Indeed,
carriers are now made so many colored
that the rival the fashionable hosiery
itself when 1t comes to startling brill
liancy. A garter can come about as
near marring or making a woman's
happiness as any trifling accessory to
her toilet. Women generally, long
ago, gave up the elastic band which
held the stocking up below or above the
knee. Health culturists first told them
that 1t was injurious, preventing per
feet circulation, but the sex chung to
it with it's beieweled buckles and beau
tiful rows of ribbon. Then the Gull
turists told them that the round gar
ter would spoil the shape of the leg,
and they dropped it like hot cake
and adopted the suspender garter or
stocking supporter, as 1t is oftened
called. The newest supporters are
made of very broad and fancy silk elias
tic in brilliant Scotch plaids or Roman
stripes, or else plain elastic covered
with ribbons that would shame JOS
eph's coat, put on full The catches
and side buckles are of white metal
silver, silver gilded and pure gold, and
some of them are Sudden with pre-
cious and semi-preclous gems. One
style fastens around the waist of the
wearer by means of satin belt match
ing in color the predominating color
of the elastic; the other fastens at the
side of the corset with catch pins. Both
methods are unsatisfactory The waist
band is warm in summer, and de-
stroys the lines about the waist. 1t
is, indeed, impossible for woman in
clinNl to be stout. The other, If of
such length as to keep the stocking
up properly, pulls on the corset and
gives the wearer a most uncomfort-
able, tired feeling toward the end of
the day All of these drawbacks have
tendency to make a woman conclude
that after all her great grandmother
was right in declaring that the most
satisfactory garter in the world was
a string torn from a selvedge edge of
piece of flannel and wrapped just
loose enough for comfort and tight
enough for convenience about the
stocking above or below the knee. A

According to government reports the
mortality of farm animals, both from
exposure and from other causes, has
been below that of the preceding win
ter; of horses per cent are reported
as having died from disease, against
81 per cent the previous year; of cat
tie, mortality of 1.3 per cent from
winter exposure, and of 3.3 per cent
from all causes is reported, as against
1.6 per cent from exposure and 3.5 per
cent from all causes the preceding win
ter; of sheep the deaths from exposure
amounted to 81 per cent, against 3.2
per cent the previous year and to SO
per cent from all causes, against 5.5

cholera has been more or less destruc-
tive, the total losses of swine have
amounted only to 9,3 per cent, against
14.4 per cent the preceding year. With
regard to farm animals in general the
department correspondents report them
in good condition as the result of the
generally mild and dry winter and the
abundance of feed. In California the
winter has been a severe one, and its
effect is shown just as markedly in the
mortality of farm animals as in the
poor condition Of winter wheat.

"The secret of never wanting new
things is to keep the old ones well
mended" said a wise housekeeper, as
she exhibited the shelf where she kept
what she called furniture medicine"
There were tins of different colors of
paints and enamel, brushes of several
sizes, bottle of liquid gilt, some good
glue, and remnants of all the different
kinds of wall paper A handsome six
leaved Japanese screen had been bad
ly mutilated by careless housemaid,
so that two of its panels were insight
ly. She patched the gashes carefully
with court plaster, and with box of
water colors and the liquid gilt so con-
oealed the patches that 1t was as good
as new. A somewhat top-heavy but
sturdy little boy made seat of the
handsome Chinese porcelain umbrel-
la jar, when down came both boy and
jar, the latter in dozen pieces. 1t
was not therefor discarded, but piecing
it with the greatest care with cement,
a brush was dipped in liquid gilt and
covered all the cracks, which, from
their zig-zag directions, really added to
its oriental appearance.-Sh Skits,

and for more than an hour worked I'M
molested on the cable, Suddenly, just
as the work was about completed the
shore battery fired a shell at the boats.
1t was followed by others, and the
Spanish infantry opened fire then with
their rifles. Then, like a flash, the
Marblehead sent shell inland, and
followed it with a perfect shower of
shot, The Nashville was quick to fol-
low suit, and the little Window cut
loose with her four-pounders.
In the meanwhile Spanish bullets
fell in every direction around the
small boats Though the attack had
come suddenly and fiercely the blue
jackets were not dismayed, and, pro-
tected by the terrific return fire of the
warsh!ps, work was continued and the
cable cut.
The Spaniards had by this time suf-
fered severe loss. Their shots from
the lighthouse struck the warships sew
eral times, and, although they did not
do much damage, the fire aroused the
determination of the American officers
to exterminate the fort. Thereafter,
for the moment, the fire of the war
ships was concentrated upon the light
house and the improvised fort was
blown to pieces AS there were great
numbers of Spaniards in and behind
the fort at the time there is no doubt
that many of them were killed. The
Marblehead and the Nashville used
their heaviest guns, as well as their
small rapid-fire guns, and hundreds of
shots were thrown into the Spanish
troops.
The Marblehead was struck scores of
times by bullets from machine guns
and the Nashville suffered to about the
same extent. The Window also had
many marks of the fray. Her shell

The cable which was cut at Cienfue-
gos extended from that city to Santiago

munication with Cuba, as there is an
other line in operation between San
tiago de Cuba and Kingston, Jamaica.
The severed cable is owned by the Gu
ba Submarine company. The one OPP

ter is the only line not in control of
