market opened steady at a decline OF
one point on July. but generally 3a5
points lower Prices eased of to a net
loss OF about 5aS points on the active
possessions shortly after the opening,
but met with the same quiet buying
on scaledown that was in evidence
yesterday and which is attributed to
trade interests Shorts became rather
uneasy in consequence and the market
during the middle of the morning
steadied a point or two from the low
est.
The market was very quiet late in the
forenoon. with prices at midday ruling
about TO points net lower. with July
relatively firm. II is said that many
southern shippers are making inquiries
as TO the cost Of delivering cotton on
July contracts. but certainly no weak
ness Is developing in that position SO far
as suggested by this mornings trading.

UPRISING IN CUBA
Alleged Plan to Secure Ameri-

OFFICIAL OPINION ISSUED
One Of the Conspirators, However,
Gives Different Version.
HOPED TO DEPRESs MARKET
Each Of Four Participants Had Been
Promised $1,000 for His
Services.
OFFICIAL OPINION ISSUED
HOPED TO DEPRESS MARKET

HAVANA, July 12.-The purpose Of the
conspiracy for which the mulatto, Col
Jorge Valera, and his associates were
arrested yesterday was to compel Amer
lean Intervention. according to the gov
ernment's information. The secretary of
the interior has issued an official state
ment that it was learned some days ago
that the conspiracy existed. with the de-
sign Of blowing up bridges and railways
and the destruction of property of for
eigners. with the hope Of compelling this
result.
The suspects. being poor and ignorant
persons, most of them negroes, aroused
the suspicion that they were acting under
| the instigation and orders Of persons Of
superior intelligence. Further investiga-
ton resulted in the discovery that the
suspects were In constant communication
with stock broker whose name 10 un-
known. A description Of him has been
obtained and the police are making an
active search for him.
Purpose OF Delay.
The arrests were delayed until the four
conspirators had started for Viaja Ber-
meta. whittier q trunk containing arms
and dynamite had been shipped the same
day, and where, 1t is believed, they in
tended to begin operations. When arrest
ed one o fthe conspirators named valer-
iano Pico made a voluntary statement de-
claring that the whole conspiracy was a
fake and merely an attempt to make
pretense Of an Uprising. It's purpose was
not to cause American intervention he
said. but simply to break the local stock
market by committing some damage not
serious to property.
OQly four persons v,eYA concernad N
the conspiracy, he said. the rest Of the
eight arrested being innocent Of knowl-
edge Of the plot.
The prisoner further declared that the
plot was first suggested by an agent Of
the government, who informed him that
he knew an individual willing to pay Pico
also to furnish explosives IL they would
80 into the country and start q fake revo-
luton. The government agent declined
to give the name of his principal, but as
sured P1co he was connected with the
bourse and desired simply to depress the
market.
Waited for the Money.
A few days later three conspirators
started for the scene Of operations, Pico
| remaining In Havana to receive the
promised $20000. According to a state
ment made to the authorities by one
Vicente Blanco. who professed to have
some knowledge of the conspiracy, the
prisoner Pico informed him that Senior
San Miguel, the editor Of La Lucia, was
the person financing the conspiracy The
authorities apparently attach no import
ance to this charge, as Sencr San Miguel
sailed for New York yesterday.

.LONG-TERM BONDS
BY GAS COMPANY
Washington Corporation Ad'
justing Its Security Issues
to Property Values.

The result of the consideration given at
the meeting yesterday of the directors OF
the Washington Gas Light Company to
the policy to be adopted In adjusting the
stock and bond issues to the present value
of the property of the company is that a
meeting OF the stockholders will be called
for the 26th day Of September. At that
time there will be submitted for tho &C
ton Of the stockholders certain PROPOSE
tons providing for the refunding Of the
company's outstanding liabilities, includ-
ing the per cent certificates, by fund
ing them into long,term per cent bonds.
The stockholders will also be asked to
give their approval to the financing OF
future betterments by issuing and selling
scrip or bonds. the proceeds of which
are to be exclusively used for that pur-
pose They will also be called upon to
pass upon a plan for the payment of a
reasonable return in the shape of divi-
dends to the stockholders predicated upon
the actual value of their investment and
not upon the nominal value of the COM
pany's capital stock
Limitation Of Dividends.
1t is understood that the proposition
holders involves q limitation of per
cent per annum in dividends upon the
value of the company's property used
in the conduct Of its business. Such q
dividend is to be limited to that amount
that Is. 1t is not to be In excess Of II. II
may be per cent, but under the rule
laid down In the decision Of the United
States Supreme Court in the case of the
Consolidated Gas Company of New York
the company has the right, it is claimed
to make and distribute earnings equal
to per cent upon the fair value Of its
property.
A valuation of the property Of the com
pany has already been made. and 1t hal
been found to be worth $13.O00.0O0.
In the event the plan as approved by
the directors meets with the Endorsement
Of the stockholders it will be possible,
In addition to refunding the outstand-
ing securities of the company in a long
of. say. per cent upon the valuation OF
the property of the company as already
determined. In that event the company,
it is stated. will disburse each year in the
shape OF dividends the sum Of $500, 900,
which Is per cent upon thirteen mil
lions.
Under Present Conditions.
The present dividend is 10 per cent upon
the par value of the capital stock. which
Is $2.60O,OOO, and therefore each year
represents a disbursement of $3.50 900. In
the event the plan as to the dividend
basis Is adopted the dividend payment
at per cent will double that now cur
rent and estimated upon the basis Of the
par value of the capital stock will be
equal to a 20 per cent dividend.
BY this plan there will be no extra
dividend as such, for the company, while
doubling In fact its present dividend pay
ments, will be merely paying per cent
upon the value of its property, which IL
held to be In accordance with the ruling
of the Supreme Court az the right OF
a COMPANY to do.

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, July 12-The movement Of
winter wheat seemed more impressive
today to spectators than talk of damage
to the spring crop. Furthermore, re-
ports from the drought districts in the
northwest were less sensational than for
most Of the time of late. The map show
ed rain at most places in that section.
Even the North Dakota crops were ad-
mitted to have been improved by the
rainfall and cooler weather. On the other
hand there was an Unexpectedly large
decrease In the European visible supply.
The foreign crop summary was not fav
orable- However. the fact was undeniable
that country selling of wheat here had
become decidedly more general. The
market opened &c lower to l4c higher.
Cool weather and fine rains induced
general selling of corn. September opened
i4c to hc down at 5s24c to 59c and reacted
TO 59asc. Oats were easier with other
grain. September at 3s7sa3s1zc showed an
initial loss of Aa&c and touched 80. There
was subsequent recovery to 3S1za3Sssc.
Trade In provisions was slow. Opening
prices were unchanged to TIC easier. and

ton were II. IS for pork, 11S5 for lard and
