STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, June 5.--1he professional
traders Oh the stock exchange made in
dlpstrious attempts all day to get into
the current of speculation. But as II
matter of fact there was almost no cur
rent to speak of, SO that the board
room traders found themselves drifting
and houndering i'll stagnant waters
They changed sides several times, in the
duh market and the net changes in the
day are consequently rnimpoltant out
side few of the specialties, though the
general average of prices is notably low.
The opening showed declines under the
influence of the heaviness i'll the foreign
market on account of the disturbed
state of affairs in France.
Sugar and a number of other Special
ties were attacked, and the bears also
had on their side a falling off in the
eastbound freight tonnage from Chica-

market was stimulated by better cables
than had been looked for. with prices
from Southern spot markets and from
American spnnerS also encouraging.
But speculation was Woefully lacking.
Local trading covered ON the opening
call when there was also some buying for
foreign account. For the rest of the
session, however, the trading was de
cidedly nervous. and the general situa
tion destitute of any kind Of inter

DETROIT, Mich, May 10.-Negotia-
tions between the Detroit street railway
commission and Tom L. johnson for
the purchase Of the street railways of
Detroit by the city have been declared
off. The commissioners had submitted
an 'ultimatum as to price and terms.
Mr.. Johnson's reply thereto was so I'M
satisfactory, from the commissioners
standpoint, that they will report to the
common council failure to reach an
agreement with the railway representa-
tives.
1t is asserted the street railway PEG
pie refused to recede from their price,

that the commissioners feel that $15,-
500, 900 is the limit the city ought to
pay, consistently, at least, with the

that the price named in an option given
by R. T. Wilson Of New York, princi-
pal owners of the roads, was SIS, 1875, 600,
STIMULATING, however, that the price
named called for cash or it's equivalent.
johnson has maintained from the first
that the equivalent for the cash price is

tire assets of the company and to be

ASKS INSTRUCTIONS.

Dispatch From President schurman Of
the Philippine Com mission.
WASHINGTON. May 8.-The state de-
partment has received a dispatch from
President Schurman of the Philippine
commission giving the substance Of the
conferences with the representatives of
Aguinaldo and asking for further in
structions. While the text Of the dis
patch is not to be made public Secre-
tary Hay stated that it showed very
satisfactory condition of affairs in the
Philippines and pointed to settlement
of the difficulties.
The reply of the president to Presi-
dent Schurman's cablegram, it is un-
lerstood, stated that he was very anx-
sous to have the peace negotiations
concluded at the earliest possible mo-
ment and to this end he desired that no
unnecessary or humiliating conditions
should be imposed upon the insurgents.
It is believed in administration circles
that as soon as Aguinaldo is convinced
of the sincerity of the American gov
eminent he will agree to surrender.
He will be required, however, to lay
down his arms. This will be the prin-
cipal conditions and until an agreement
on this point is reached the negotiations
will not make any progress toward .
conclusion.

I NEW YORK, May 10.-A dispatch to
The Journal and Advertiser from Ma.
Mia says: Only the entreaties Of Aguin.
aldo averted last Tuesday civil war
between the forces of his two rival gen.
erals, Luna and Mascardo. They were
pctually drawn up in battle array.
This and a positive confirmation OF
the news that Luna has been danger
ously wounded in the shoulder in the
battle of San Tomas are the most i'm
portant items of intelligence brought by
the army gunboats Laguna de Bay and
Cavadonga, which returned from a
brisk expedition up the San Fernando
river. 1t was Immediately before the
battle of San Tomas that the insurgents
so nearly arrived at the point of begin
ming to exterminate one another. Gen.
eral Luna, when he saw that an en-
gagement with the American troops
was inevitable, sent back an aide post
haste to Bacolor, where General Mas
cardo was, demanding reinforcements.
Mascardo's reply was that he would
take orders from no one. but Aguinaldo.
This defiance so Infatuated Luna that,
in spite of the impending conflict with
the common enemy, he took 1880 of his
soldiery and made a forced march to
Bacolor, intent on chastising his COM
rade in arms as3 ~ &y}iI,5
a4 Mascardo Was Ready.
Mascardo was nothing 10th to fight it
out and ordered his command into line
of battle. Shouts of hatred and defiance
were heard on both sides. Outside the
opposing forces the insurgent camp was
all confusion. Aguinaldo, terrified by
the situation, ordered his chief of staff,
Colonel Arguelles, to make peace at all
hazards. The soldiers had loaded their
pieces and were waiting for orders to
begin the onslaught when Arguelles
galloped between the lines, frantically
waving flag of truce.
There was an angry conference be-
tween him and the rival generals. Ag-
uinaldo was drawn into it. With all
the intensity at his command he begged
Luna and Mascardo not to plunge the
Filipino forces into civil strife at time
when they were already broken and de-
by successive defeats at the
hands of the Americans. His entreaties
prevailed for the time being. Luna sui
lenly returned to the front after the
commanding general had provided him
with reinforcements and ordered Mas
cardo to be courtmartialed for not hav-
ing sent them at first.
The battle of San Tomas followed,
and Luna, on whose ferocity in the
field Aguinaldo placed his chief reli-
ance, received wounds that will disable
him for the rest of the campaign, and
may cause his death.
