CONCERN OVER ATTITUDE
OF THE RURAL GUARD
Cubans Are Not Inclined TO
Re-enlist Because of Their
Small Pay

Havana, July 9.-Some concern is
being manifested over the situation
of the rural guard. The period Of the
two-year cnlistments, which began
during the intervention is expiring,
and many OF the guards are not dis
posed to re.enlist on account OF the
small pay and peculiar conditions Of
the service. Cavalrymen receive $42
monthly and furnish their own horses
and fodder. their clothes and subsis-
tence. The force of 1000 men has re-
Gently dwindled to 1000, the best class
OF soldier material not applying for
enlistment. A fortnight ago President
Palma sent a recommendation TO the
house of representatives to increase
the force to 5000. and to make various
changes affecting the pay and ex-
penses of the men. No action has
been taken thereon, and congress is
apparently on the eve of adjourning.
The colonists, chiefly from Canada
and Michigan, residing in the district
near Holguin, where an American
named Joseph e. Bradley, was mur
dered by robbers June 80, have asked
for more protection, and other com
mupities have made similar appeals.

COMBINATION EXCURSION.

Last year when certain of the Episcopal
Sunday schools in this city, Newport,
Stanton aud Marshallton joined in an
excursion to Cape May, it was largely in
the nature of an experiment, for it had
not been the custom for them to attempt
such a large project Before that time,
the outings were likely to be of a less
elaborate character. The excursion was
taken and proved a most hattsring sue
cess. This year sees a second excursion
arranged for, with Cape May again the
objective point, and tomorrow, the time
selected The Sunday schools and
churches interested are Trinity and ST.
Andrews Of this city; ST. James,
Stanton; St. James Newport and St
Barnabas', Marshallton.
The party will take the train at the
Philadelphia and Reading station, Water
and King streets, leaving there at $40
O'Clock in the morning, boarding the
steamer Cape May at the Delaware River
pier. Members of ST. Andrews school
who have not yet received their tickets
for the trip can secure them at the rail-
road station before the train leaves.
Tickets will also be on sale there. The
fact that this is the only excursion to be
carried by the Republic tomorrow, and
the fact that the bar will be closed, give
indication that the excursionists have in
prospect most enjoyable outing.

YESTERDAY,S STOCK MARKET
General Tone the DalIest Thus Far
 This Year.

General Tone the DaIIest Thus Far
 This Year.
 New York, April 27.-The somnolent condition of to-day's stock market was significant of the continued indifference of the general speculative public. Even the professional traders found discour- agement in their efforts to move prices by trading with each other and the general tone of the market, in conse- quence, was the dullest thus far this year. Special movements in few in- dividual stocks were all that offered any feature. A report by expert &C., countants on behalf of the Metropolitan Street Railway intended to refute the charges of irregular accounting against that company which are the subject of present inquiry by the authorities was made the occasion for marking up that stock 1-2 points. A hostile purpose towards the bear party in the stock was apparent and the gain was prac- tically lost before the end of the day. A rather languid attempt was made to induce a general rise in the market in company with the Metropolitan Street Railway movement and Missouri Pa cific and Baltimore & Ohio seemed to be chosen as the leaders. But this movement did not reach far. The weakness of Amalgamated Copper caused by the fall in the metal was an adverse influence. Money rates here continued to decline and there were in- creasing offerings for periods extend ing beyond six months, for which no concesson from the 5 per cent. rate is yet reported. The tone of the bond market is relatively better than that for stocks, but the actual business is still profoundly dull. The approach of the May first period with the skies in the labor world comparatively serene is accepted as a favorable factor in the market. The weekly statistics of rail- | road traffic showed a considerable faIl- ing off. The fairly general movement | which has developed among the trust companies to withdraw from the clear 1 ing house privileges rather than con- form to that institution's reserve re- | quirement has induced an unsettled feeling and good deal of puzzled con- l lecture as to the effect on the money l situation and there is a disposition to await the final adjustment of the con- l troversy.
 The bond market was extremely dull and irregular. Total sales par value $1. .665, ,000.
 I United States new fours advanced IA per cent, on the last call.
