New York, Aug. lS.-With the exception
of few stocks affected by particular cir
curnstances the whole stock market NOV

with the dealings in very large volume
Local speculative sentiment was much en-
couraged by the very large advances re-
ported in the American division of the
London market and the higher range Of
prices there was followed by renewed pur-
chases Of stocks here by arbitrage hold
ers. The railway list again occupied the
foremost position in the dealings, notably
for the middle grade stocks.
There were exceedingly heavy transac-
tions in Southern Railway preferred, Mis-
souri, Pacific, Southern Pacific, Louisville

ciic and the granger stocks were also
notably strong and active in the opening
dealings Burlington and Quincy, in
which instance the books Closed this

was no actual new circumstances bearing
upon the general railway list. Sentiment
seemed to rest upon the several previously
noted favorable developments of the week,
including notably the easier monetary
situation.
The, dealings in the industrial quarter
were not particularly active. Sugar Re-

CHASING A FILIBUSTER.
Mexican GunbOat Said to Have
CAPTURED YaHui Supplies.

Guayamas, Mex, Aug. 1S.-The gunboat.
Democratic left Portion Tuesday and ru-
NOR was started that it went to intercept
vessel from San Francisco carrying gat-
ling guns, rifles, and ammunition TO the
Yaquis. The gunboat has not returned
but rumor says it has captured the fill
buster.
The report on Sunday night that relief
had been sent TO an American named Cook
at Bonancita, and that it was feared that
Cook had been killed and that 400 Indians
were seen near Torres, is proved TO be un-
founded. Bonancita is eighty miles from
the seat of the Yaqui riot and Torres is
more than 100 miles from it.
Guayamas is full of Yaquis working at
all sorts of occupations. Several Yaqui
sloops laden with produce and manned by
Yaquis arrived yesterday from the river
They report that when the troops reached
Vicam Friday the town was deserted and
no fight took place there. A body of In
dians met the troops on the march toward
the town and held them in check until the
faquis had left the town and then they
disappeared in the woods.
The main body of the Indians, includ-
ing women and children, crossed on RATS
to the north bank of the river, made a

skirmish was three. The horse under Gen.
eral Torres was shot.
The remainder of the campaign will
probably consist of scouting in the noun

New Haven, Conn.,, Aug. 1S.-President
Arthur T. S. Hailey, of Yale, has been here

day by day 10 an increasing number of our peo-
pie, despits the mists of cant that have been
studicusly thrown about our position, that we
have undertaken just what Spain had on her
hands In Cuba, the reduction of an unwilling
people to subjugation. II is no less obvious that
after a six months of fighting we are much
further from the attainment of that purpose than
was Spain in Cuba when interviewed. The
railing accusations of the French and German
cynics year ago seem to have proved only too
true. Yet the American people have not been
Intentionally faithess. From the lack of knowl-
edge and OF convictions we have drifted along
until by the swirl of the current we find our
selves in radically false position; false alike

1t is humiliatng. but such is the penalty Of
drifting at a crisis. The only way by which we
can get into position consistent with our ideals
and with the purposes OF our altruistic imperial
lists is to turn back on conquest come to
terms with Aguinaldo and the other native au-
thorities of the Islands, and offer them self
government and protection against foreign ag.
gresson. If they refuse reasonable proposition
of that character, which honestly renounces
conquest. then the responsibility will be theirs
for the consequences. We shall have done our
duty.

IconocIasm in Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Chicagos lake front
nymphs are no more. They fell before
the attack of a gang of workmen yester-
day and were carted away in fragments
With them went the cement basin in which
for two months they had disported just
south of the Art Institute. They now lie
in fragments at the city dump. The
nymphs, which adorned a fountain erected
by art students, created a sensation in Chi
cago, and a great cry was made against
them by a certain element which professed
to regard them as improper exhibitions.
The nymphs soon were better known than
many millionaires. The crowd that went
to gaze at them killed the grass around
the basin. Recently they were the vic
tins of vandals, and were SO seriously
marred that it was decided to remove
them.

AFTER MORE EVIDENCE.
The Police Trying to Tighten the
Coils Around Frank Funk.

The police, although confidently be1iev-
ing that the man arrested in Columbia is
Frank William Funk wanted here for the
murder of William H. Brooks, place very
little confidence in his reported story i'm
plicating others in the brutal crime. He
is regarded to have committed the murder
alone and his present statements are look-
ed upon as the story of desperate man.
Nothing was heard at Police Headquar-
ters from Columbia up to a late hour this
afternoon, although Detective Weldon, by
making close connections. should have
reached there about noon today. Major
Sylvester has heard nothing from the po-
lice officials of Columbia since yesterday
and the Identity OF the man under arrest
there is now regarded as settled.
AS soon as Acting Inspector Helan, who
was in charge of the detective office this
morning, learned that Funk had admitted
his identity and intended to try and fix
the crime on others, he Immediately or
dered that all persons familiar with the
case and who had personal knowledge
of Funk should be placed under surveil-
lance.
Maggie Brooks, daughter of the man
who was killed, was brought to Police
Headquarters today by Officer Gouldman,
who thought she was trying to leave the
not aware that she was being watched,
and left her home simply to go to a
dentists. She was taken to the District
Attorneys Office and later allowed to go.
The police are very reticent regarding the
case but it is known that several officers
have been detailed to secure additional
evidence.
