Manchester, June 1o.-The past week
has been another of small things all
around. The looms have been occupied
mostly with the working off of back or
ders. The undertone is still firm in most
directions, but the thinning order books
produce irregularity in some quarters Cal
cutta remained idle, but is expected to re-
sumo soon. The monsoon promises well
fer Indian crops, and a considerable num-
Der of orders have already arrived, but
the limits are too low in many cases.
There has been moderate business
for China at figures slightly below cure 1T
rates. South America and other market
ure doing little. The home markets ale
disappointing. Quotations are generally
steady at SC.
The weeks business was of the hand to
mouth order. Germany aud France report
little new business with prices steady
London, June ere has been a
slightly better dc or discount as the
half year approaches, but the improve
ment in rates Is purely temporary. The

SPANISH MINISTER OF MARINE
Refused Any Information rs to Des-
tinntion of Cnmnrn's Fleet.


Madrid, June 10, $3.50 p. m.--Private tel
egrams received here from Cuba say that
during the last attack by the American
ships upon Santiago de Cuba a Spanish
shell struck upon the deck of one of the
attacking ships. sweeping off all the men
there. Another she'll, according to the
same authority, struck the funnel of a
cruiser, doing much damage.
The Havana government is displaying
great energy. Fourteen university pro-
fessors. who fed through fear of the re-
suits of the war, have been dismissed.
The blockading vessels. the kilograms say,
continue inactive.
Captain Aunon, the minister OF marine,
refuses TO give any information regarding
the destination of Admiral Camara' S
squadron.
The Spanish papers declare that the
statement that the bodies OF Americans
killed at Guantanamo were mutiated by
the Spanish troops. and similar sentiments
regarding the loss of the Maine are made
with the object of inflaming the American
populace.
