THE MONEY FOR SPAIN
Warrants to Be Delivered to the National
City Bank, New York.
The French Ambassador Completing
the s2O,OOO,0OO Indemnity.

Acting on cable instructions from the
governor of the Bank OF Spain at Madrid,
the French ambassador, NJ Cambon, has
completed arrangements for transferring
t. Spain the $20,UD,GO received by him
yesterday from the United States. This
provides for the delivery of the first treas
Dry warrant Of S5,0S $50 to the National
City Bank of New York on the 4th in
slant, and the delivery of the next two
warrants, for $40, 100000, on the 10th in
slant. NJ. Taigny, acting first secretary of
the French embassy, will leave Washing
ton at 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning with
the first $5.a000V0 warrant. He Will arrive
In New York too late to reach the bank
before the close of office hours and the
warrant will be deposited In the Waldorf
safe until Thursday morning, when NJ
Taiguy will deliver it into the hands of
President James Stillman of the bank NJ
Boeufve of the embassy staff will take the
next two warrants, for $1,000 600 leaving
here next week In time to deliver them to
Mr.. Stillman on the 10th. The Spanish au-
thorities have made no arrangements for
receiving the last warrant for $5,GOO,O 900
which VIII remain in the Riggs National
Bank here until called for by the SPANISH
authorities
The action of the Bank of Spain, which
occupies an official relation to the Spanish
government, in designating the National
City Bank of New York to receive the
funds for Spain IS due to the existence of
a large gold balance In Europe to the credit
of that particular institution. On receiving
the warrants it Is expected that the bank
will utilize this gold balance now on the
other side so that no actual shipment of
gold bullion or coin will be made at least
TO no large extent. This win materially re-
duce the cost of exchange, which will not
exceed "a or Is per cent. The entire cost
Will be about $4,000 to $4,000 before the
exchange is completed.
The existence of this gold balance on the
other side is a significant evidence of the
balance of trade favorable to the United
states. as the gold at European money CEN
ters IS the balance due on the sales of
American goods abroad.

GIVEN UNUSUAL POWER,
Instance of the Implicit Confidence
Felt in Dewey.

An incident Of the recognition of Dewey
day by the Navy Department was the
sending of a cable message to Admiral
Dewey at Manila, authorizing him to make
whatever changes he deems proper in the
personnel of the Asatic squadron. He was
requested, however. to advise the depart
ment of any such changes in order that
they might be made matters of record. This
is departure from the custom of the de-
partment and indicates the implicit conf
dence imposed in Admiral Dewey. Com
manding officers of fleets and stations are
clothed with great power, but they cannot
make any changes in the personnel of the
rorce under them without first obtaining
the approval of the Navy Department.
Ordinarily the recommenda tons of COM
manding officers are approved without hesi-
tation, but with the exception of the pres
ent instance the department has always
reserved the right to pass upon such mat
ters. In the case of Admiral Dewey all
that he Is required to do in such matters
Is to report the changes after they have
been made. His power is practically alb
soiute and supreme in all questions affect
ing the Asiatic squadron.

EFFECT OF THE SMELLING.
Mrs. Stevenson Gives Pathetic Picture
of samoan Incident.

| LONDON. May 2.-Rohert Louis Steven
sons widow has written letter to the
Westminster Gazette from Funchal Ma
deira, the bombardment of Samoan VII
lagos by the English and American war
ships. Mrs. Stevenson says:
President Mckinley allowed no firing on
Cuban towns unless they gave active cause
of offense. and Commodore Watson was or
dered not to attack undefended Spanish
cities. Does the President keep his humani-
ty for civilized countries alone?"
Mrs. Stevenson declares that the Samoan
villages are inhabited in time of war by
non-cou1batants, who have to choose be-
tween the shells Of the warships and tax
ing to the bush" Under such conditions,
she says, delicate women can hardly exist,
while children die like flies
Mrs. Stevenson's letter concludes as fol-
lows: Chief Justice Chambers has been
represented as saying in letter to his
brother: i never was happier He must
be person singularly devoid of imagina-
tion If he never pictured to himself the
scenes being enacted in those bombarde-d
villages, the exodus of panic-stricken people
rushing hither and thither, shells bursting
everywhere, the cries of bed-ridden and
helpless wounded people burning alive in
their blazing houses. women in the pangs
of childbirth, mangled children crawling ON
the sands, the sea before them and the
bush behind And we read that the woods
also were shelled. Who is to be held ac-
countable for these deeds, that disgrace
both England and American"
1t is denied officially here that any undue
restraint has been imposed upon Admiral
kautz which should encourage the insur-
gents In Samoa. On the contrary Admiral
hautz has been advised that the President
supports him In all that he has done; that
he is entirely satisfied with his conduct
and the only injunction laid upon the ad-
miral has been to avoid unnecessary
slaughter and bl Dodshed. This Injunction
is not understood TO In any way restrain
the officer from such military and naval
operations as in his opinion are necessary

states, Great Britain and Germany in Sa.
moa. for 1t is expressly understood that
Admiral Kautz is present simply for the
purpose OF carrying out the treaty obliaa-
uons as to the interests of all the citizens
or the u1parute agreement, and not as a
representative of any one power.
50 FAR no adVices have come either TO the
state or Navy departments as of the date
or these last press dispatches hence 1t ts

portance have occurred warranting the

Effect of Recent Order to Suspend
Fighting at Samoa.
AN AMERICANS STORE LOOTED
fnsurgent Forces Are Drawing in
Around Apia Again.
THEY CONTROL FOOD SUPPLY

WELLINGTON. N. T.. May 2-Advices
from Samoa indicate that the instructions
received from the powers to cease hostiI-
tiles make the situation in the islands
very serious. as the rebels hold the main
food supplies and are again near the muni-
cipality of Apia- The correspondent Of
Reuters News Agency thinks It is evident
| that the home authorities have misunder-
stood the situation in Samoa. The Germans
| and rebels are already jubilant and claim
| a victory over the British and American
forces. The correspondent says that unless
the rebels are made to submit the difficult
ties will remain unsolved. The white peo-
pie in the outskirts of the city are al tho
mercy OF the rebels.
| American Vice ConsuI's Store Looted.
The American vice consuls store at Falifa
was looted last week. while German store
adjoining il was left untouched. British
and American residents all strongly con-
denim the action Of the powers In ordering
a cessation of hostilities at this stage.
Two days after the last battle at Naillma
Lieut.. r. A Gauut of the British cruiser
Porpoise marched his brigade into Vailima
unopposed. and was followed by a company
of British bluejackets under Capt. Sturdee
and Lieut.. Cave. Inspection of the battle-
field shows that the defenses erected 10y the
rebels near the home Of the late Robert
Louis stevenson were strong and well PLAN
ned.
Rebel Loss Was Heavy.
The loss sustained by the rebels. Il IL
evident, was much greater than at first
supposed. The main section Of Mataafa'
followers who were engaged I'm the battle
of Nailima retreated westward to Lulu
moenga. where they lay IN wait for friend
lies
Orders had been given them to capture
Lieut.. Gaunts head. The rebels were also
anxious to secure the superior weapons
with which his brigade is armed.
II is rumored that thirteen boats filed
with armed rebels are approaching from
the east. The town appears to be safe.

yielded to the desire of the Barty leaders
that the senator should continiIe In his po-
