war for the Cuban republic. Maj.
Ladd said that while he was in Cuba
he had handled, in all, $4O,000,000 of
Cuban funds, and that his staff con-
sisted of but ten men. He said that
the affairs of Cuba are at present
controlled by the revolutionary party,
and that the commercial interests of
the country would like to have the
American occupation of the island
continue, and believed that the Platt
amendment will keep the new govern
ment, when il is formed, from getting
into snarls with foreign countries.

UTTERLY DEMORALIZED.
Oevelopm of n Northern Pacific
@ Corner Mixed Things Up
I'm Wall street.

New York, May 9.-The stock mar
ket was utterly demoralized at the
opening by the developments.n North
ern Pacific. What were rumors Tues
day became assertions as of fact, that
the Hartman interests. in retaliation
for the recent attempt to secure con-
! troll of Union Pacific. had turned upon
the Morgan-Hill interests and wrested
from them the control of Northern
Pacific. The competitive buying which
resulted caused a virtual corner in the
stock, to the discontinue and panic
of a very large short interest. In
the collateral consequences of the
open war thus disclosed between the
most powerful financial interests in
the country caused acute alarm
among the large operators long of the
market. The Hartman syndicate.
supposedly backed by the Goulds and
Standard Oil interests in bitter war;
fare with the Vanderbilt Morgan-Hill
combine, offered alarming suggestions
to the heated imagination of specula-
tors. While shorts were bidding any
prices for Northern Pacific. therefor
spectators were unloading other
stocks all through the list BY some
means unknown, Northern Pacific had
been forced 1921 points under Tues
day nights close here in the London
market this morning. The opening
sale was 1000 shares at 15j, rise of
11h over Tuesday nights close here,
and of 22A over the mornings Lon
don price. On subsequent purchases
of blocks not exceeding 1000 shares,
the prices jumped five points at a
time to $50, and then fell back to 1856.
The price fiuctuated violently at
terward between 155 and AS. The
preferred stock broke nine points.
Canadian Pacific broke Az, and then
rallied 6A. Opening losses in other
stocks ran from 1 to ga. Union Pa
cific rose fraction, broke and then
came back 3, measuring the hopes of
advantage to the stock from the
Northern Pacific coup. Some of the
most urgent buying of Northern Pa
cific came from arbitrage houses, and
houses with foreign connections were
largely represented in the short in
terest. Disorder in the stock ex-
change was extreme during the first
| hour, but the strong rallies in the
general market and relapse in North
ern Pacific treasured holders, and the
market became quieter.
