Higher Cables, Wheat Famine Abroad, Heavy cSalea Tor Export and Removal et French Duty, We re the Consideration. jHly Putei the Dollar Hark. Chicago, May 5. May wheat rose 80c on the board of trade today. It closed at $1.50, the highest point since 1888. The excitement in the wheat pit during the closing "hour was intense. The market fluctuated violently all morning, bat gave no evidence of the pyrotechnics to come. Joseph Leiter's brokers were quietly at work and dur ing the first hour bought about 2,000,000 bushels of Jaly wheat, principally short sales. July opened'dnly c above yes terday's close, or at ifcc For a mo ment it got over the dollar mark, and then dropped back to Q8$c.Pit traders sold short and soon f ouud themselves in deep water.

The French -government had removed its import duty and'Spaih and Italy were said to be contemplating the same action. Great as was the wheat famine abroad, that article was found to be equally as scarce in the i Chicago pit, when the bears tried to cover. May, which opened 7o higher at $1.37, had declined to $1.31. July was hanging about the dollar mark. Leiter announced 'that he just sold 2,000,000 bushels of No. 2 red wheat to a French syndicate at $1.47 per bushel. Pit traders were stampeded.

DEFEAT DfCOME TAX AMENDMENT Sharp Debate Precipitated la the Senate Over the Proposition. Washington, May 0. Quite unex pectedly a brief but sharp debate was precipitated in the senate yesterday on the income tax proposition. The reso lution proposing an amendment to the constitution of the United States relat ing to the succession to the presidency was under discussion. Mills (Tex.), proposed an amendment in the form of a new section intended to authorize congress to lay a tax on incomes in such form as to meet the requirements of the decision of the suprerne court. He was sharply criticized for endeavor ing to place such a rider on a resolution which practically all senators favored, but stood his ground and insisted upon a vote on his amendment. The amend- ment 'was defeated, .'32 to 29, all the Re publicans voting against the amend ment and all the Democrats except Caffery (La.), together with the Popu- lists and fearer Republicans voting in favor of it.

There have been frequent conflicts be tween tne rioters ana civil guards and looting and shooting are reported from Tanous points. At Barcelona there has been a renewed run on the bank, the holders of notes demanding silver. Riots are occurring at many .places. Martial law has been proclaimed . at C&rthageua. AtMurcia, thirty- miles from Carthagena, 3,000 miners are rioting and a conflict with the troopfl has occurred. The bill introduced in the cortes to prohibit the, exportation of grain and fruits and.suupressing tho duty-on un , porta tion of these articles is intended to checkmate, the speculators, who, owing to the, enbrmous premium on exchange, now 11 per cent, commenced immense exportations of produce, against which they negotiated bills in foreign matters. These exports have created a scarcity oi food, which is largely responsible foi the rioting throughout Spain. Admiral Caramara will take command of the Cadiz fleet on Friday. The government is greatly disappointed afthe length oi tie debates in the cortes. A, mob of about 8,000 striking miners iava made, a tumultuous demonstration at Murcia, 30 miles from Carthagena. They shouted "Death, to the spies," "Down with tho Texas," attempted to set fire to the railroad depot and other buildings and then began a movement toward, Garjhagena. A strong force of troops,, however, prevented the rioters from moving -pn .the, port. A numbei OI men were -wnmirleii.

A 4 Key "West special says that 'the tug Leyden has re turned there after having landed two parties on Cuban soil, one of them hav ing had subsequently a sharp, engage ment with Spanish forces. One of the parties consist of a commission from Washington to General Gomez, which was debarked on the north shore of Santa Clara province, from whence an immediate start for the interior was made. The other party, which landed near Mariel, north of Havana, was un der the command of the Cuban leader General Baldomero Acosta. Before this company went ashore the cruiser Wilmington shelled some Spanish cav alry assembled in the vicinity, and when the landing was effected, an Acosta detachment charged and routed the Spaniards, who in their re treat took with them about 60 wounded, but leaving 10 dead on the field. The American and Cuban colors were hoisted side by side on Cuban soil. While waiting to attack the cavalry men the Wilmington fired at a block house further down the beach. There were some fifty Spanish regulars sitting on top of this blockhouse watching the Leyden and the insurgents. The Wil mington's first shot went wide. The twelfth and last shot hit the bulls-eye. When the" smoke cleared away, the blockhouse, the men and all had dis appeared as though swallowed up. The Spanish colors that had flown from the bouse were seen , high up in a tree where a shot had driven them. . Awarded Highest Honors World's Fair, Gold Medal, Midwinter Fair.

It is the absence of actual news as to tho War operations which is causing great anxiety, especi allv at Madrid, where Seuor Sasrasta. theXin the course of an interview has de clared that absence "is the most dis quieting feature of the situation." Attention is again nvited on Spain. The special dispatches from Madrid in dicate that the questions of the f uturo government of the' conntry were be ginning to be discussed as if the figures of the queen regent and the king had already disappeared from the stage of Spanish politics. G neral Weyler is dubbed "The Spanish Boulanger," and in some quarters, military dictatorship in his hands is regarded as probable. Bnt the wider opinion-is that he "will not succeed any better than Boulanger did. The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says : Those who are best informed as to the government's view allege that if the Spanish arms suffer another reverse like that at Oavite, the government would inform ally request the great powers to lend their service to arrange the best possi ble terms of peace. Many Liberals consider that Spain 'having maintained her honor and justified her chivalry, can now afford to yield to superior force, but it is doubtful whether public" opinion would approve this line of action.

Tho- big aux iliary cruiser St.Taul, with Sigsbee on the bridge, left Cramps' ship yard this morning and steamed down the Dela ware river to League Island navy yard, where she dropped anchor. The pas sage of the St. Paul down tho river wa .the signal for a great outburst of en thusistic patriotism, and the reception that the new cruiser and Captain Sigs bee received was a truly magnificent one. Along the shore crowds of people were congregated, wildly cheering aa the St. Paul majestically sailed down. The" St. Paul's stay at League island will only be long enough to allow her to take aboard her ammunition. As to the St. Paul's destination, nothing is known here; but it is believed that she is to do scout duty alone: the middle At-1 lantic coast. All Quiet nt Havana. London, May 5.

United States May Not Dispose of the ' Philippines at Their Will. London, May 4. Tho "Westminster Gazette, discussing tho Philippine ques tion, quotes the assumption of Ameri can newspapers, "that the United" States can do precisely what she chooses with Manila or the Philippine islands return them, keep them or sell them," implying that America has only to speak and no one will .venture to dispute her right to dispose of her lawful prize as fcbe chooses. '4Tha Westminster Ga zette says it much fears that "This HewwiH entail disagreeable surprises," ridding : "In entering European politics the United States will probably discover that these simple ideas of doing what you will with your own have become obsolete in Europe. Tho first ymp tbms are to bo marked by an increase of tho anti-American pressure, which, if Great Britain could be counted on to oin it, would sDeedily lead to interven tion in behalf of Spain." After pointing out the futility of ex pecting Great Britain to join in such a movement, and the probability of at tempts upon the part of the continental powers at the close of the war to pre Tentthe United States from holding the Philippine islands", the "Westminster Gazette says : "The 'natural tendency of all this is to bring the United States jinn ureat .Britain togetner, and we hope it will be fostered by statesmen und by a revival of the arbitration treaty." High Praiso Tor Dewer. IiOXDOX.May 4. Vice Admiral Philip Howard Colomb, retired, the inventor of improved systems for signalling at fiea, and the author of a number of na val works, in an interview on the sub ject of the splendid victory of the Unit ed States fleet at Manila, is quoted as saying: "I doubt if there ever was nuch an extraordinary illustration of the influence of sea power. A superior fleet has attacked and beaten a Snanish fleet supported by batteries, and, it now ! appears, passed those batteries and has taken up an unassailable position off Manila. Tho boldness of tho American commander is beyond question. Hence forth he must be placed in the valhalla of great naval commanders. Nothing tan detract from the dash and vigor of the American exploit or dim the glory which Dewey has shed on tho American navy. It may bo bad for the world, for assuredly the American navy will never accept a subordinate place alter this exhibition of what it can do." .Half the Fleet Left to Keep Up the Cnbaa j Blockade Important Battle Likely to Be BeportedSoea Tletllla Said ts Ilavn Pat Back to Cadiz.
