AitIcIpatIng a favorable outcome of the
t eaco negottattons now in progress between
3PaIfl and the Untted States , the exposition
rnann411eflt Is preparing for a grand pence
demonstration which will ho held as soon
after the 'nr I officially ended as the necessary -
sary preliminarle8 can be arranged. It has
been suggcsted that it Is eminently fitting
that the peaceful solutlort ot the difficulties
now pending should be celebtatel by a big
joI1ifcation at. the Transmlsslssippl Expost-
tion , which Is essentially representative at
tbo orts anti pursutt8 of peace.Vith this
1de In view It is proposed to make the
demoustratton one of the biggest features
- . of the exposition and It will occur as soon
as posstble after the conclusion of the war
Is assured.
The plans for the celebration have not
been .flillv determined. but it has been decided -
cided that a vigorous effort will ho made
to secure the presence of I'resldent McKtn-
Icy and of as many other representatives
of the national administration as posslbl& .
A number of speakers of national reputation
w111 be invled to make addresses and there
wilt be a mammoth parade , which will in-
elude all the features of the exposition and
, - possibly an entire representation of local
organizations and secret societies. The edo-
bration will conclude with a big display of
flioworks in the evening and other inter-
eating features vi1i probably be added before
the plans are completed.
In the same connection it is proposed to
Tecoguize the return of the volunteers with
a big public demonstration in case they are
eent home before the exposition closes. This
will nlo be an exposition teature and at-
though it is considered doubtful if any of
the Nebraska regiments are mustered out
before November 1 the management 'will be
1 ready to give them a rousing reception if
the occasion presents itself.

unprecedented proportions. The total attendance -

LONDON , Aug. 6.-New ( York World
Cablegram-Special Telegram.-Tho ) Statist
says :
The prospect of an early conclusion of
the war has very naturally given a flliip In
the market to American securities and when
the treaty of peace is actually signed it
may reasonably be expected that there will
be a marked rise. Of course It is possible
that complications may grow out of the
American demands. It is also possible that
the United States government , having once
adopted a policy of over sea acquisitions ,
may take other measures which may excite
apprehension , but we ourselves do not see
any reason for entertaining such a fear.
Assuming that peace will be concluded soon ,
that no complications vIil arise , and that
the United States government pursues a
vIse policy , it seems certain that there must
be a very active business in all classes of
American securities.
Zn the first place the harvest again promises -
ises to be excellent. It. Is true that all
European harvests likewise promise well
and we hope that Australia and Argentine
wilt have good crops. Therefore It is tea-
sonablo to expect that there will be coosid-
erablo fall in the price of vhcat. Consequently -
quently tha United Satcs will not realize
the immense roflts which accrued there
the last two years. Still a third good harvest
In succession wilt be an immense gain to
the country and even if the farmers do not
receive as much money for what they have
to sell the wage-earning classes , who are
th bulk of the inhabitants in the towns ,
will benefit from heap bread , and so a stim.
tiles will be given general trade.
Over and ebove this it is to be recollected
that Cuba is one of the richest islands in
tIme world naturally ; that it has been
grievously neglected while under Spanish
rule ; that the Americans with their characteristic -
acteristic energy , enterprise and boldness
will throw themselves into the task of developing -
veloping the natural resources of the island
in a short time ; that this will give employment -
ployment to great masses of capital anti
that the consequent stimulus given every
kind of industry In Cuba will react upon the
United States furthermore.
Porto Rico will have to be brought up to
the American level and whatever acquisitions -
tions the United States makes in the Pacific
will likewise call for a large outlay of cap-
ital.
Lastly , the new position taken by the
United States in the world makes it incumbent -
bent upon the government to largely aug.
meat its fleet. Therefore a large addition
of first class ships of the newest typo will
have to be made and that implies considerable -
ble government outlay. The army likewise
will have to ho increased , which again means
an additional goverameat outlay.
For all these reasons and others that
might be mentioned It is reasonable to cx-
pect a long period of exceedingly active
trade in the United States , as well as much
business on the stock exchange at higher
prices in both. It need hardly be observed
that if there 4s to be a great investment In
Cuba. I'orto Rico and in the Philippines , and
it there are to be some years of prosperous
trade and active stock exchange busiaces ,
the railway companies must benefit im-
measely , especially companies connecting the
Gulf of Mexico with the north and west.
But it may be asked if there is to be such
an expansion of all kinds of business In the
United States what will be the effect on the
money market ? We are inclined to took for
very much higher rates. Protracted peace
negotiations or difficulties with other pow-
era may , of course , give a temporary check
to business and a rise in rates. In that case
it might not be great for some time to come ,
but looking to the immediate future , we are
inclined to expect the usual demand ( or
money from the west and south for the mov-
lag of crops , while the government outlay
upon war operations and preparations anti
other measures will likewise take away fropi
the great banking centers a considerable
sum. The demand for moving crops usually
begins Ia July , continues nil through August
and reaches the culminating point about
September 20 or 25.
During the next six weeks , therefore ,
there ought to be considerable decline , both
In deposits and reserves In New York banks
and a corresponding expansion In Internal
circulation. Though , of course , if peace is
concluded rapidly , Cuba almost immediately
evacuated and the Americans prepare for
active Investment In the cool season money
may become 'ery tight in November or
December. It is hardly probable. however ,
that the plans of syndicates of great capi-
taiists can bo completed so rapidly. Probably -
ably not very much money will be spent
uutii next year. Still there will be the
usual demand for moviat the crops , the
government demand for the army and navy
and commercial demands for great trade
activity that is now going on. Coi.se-
quently we expect to see considerably higher
rates in New York between now and Sep-
ternber , a pause during October and another -
other advance of rates in November and
December.

been no relief in the Anglo-Russian tension.
In the last twenty.four hours extreme uneasiness -
easiness has been created by alarmists
through an inspired article in the Standard ,
hich asserts that Salisbury has taken up a
position from which ho will on no account
recede , and that it would mean ruin to
British prestige throughout Asia were he to
do so.
At the same time it Is pointed out that
the matter in dispute , but for the principle
involved , is altogether too trifling to star-
rant plunging Into a frightful war crisis ,
and that it has how arisen is held to be the
direct result of SalIsbury's perpetual yielding -
ing to Russian diplomacy , by which Russia
has been emboldened to adopt a positkn

however , a belief that he. will never take

Dunraven was believed to be the obstacle
in the yy of the issue of the challenge
for the America's cup by Lipton , through
the Royal Ulster Yacht club. A statement to
that cffet was mentioned to Dunraven by
a special correspondent at Cowes today ,
as having been made by the Daily Chron-
ide , anti Dunraven was asked to give views
on the projected challenge. He gave me the
following signed statement :
"I have not seen the Daily Chronicle , but
the allegation you mention Is without foun-
dation. I have not. expressed any and do
not intend to express any opinion on the
subject of Sir Thomas Lipton's proposed
challenge for the America's cup.
( Signed. ) DUNRAVEN , "
Waist Inpo.ible Conditions ,
As stated In a New York dispatch Wednes-
da , the Yacht Racing association , of ihicl :
Dunraven is president , declined the invitation -
tion of the Ulster Yacht club to suggest
conditions which should attach to the challenge -
lenge , but certain members of that association -
tion are individually bringing every possible -
sible Influence. to bear upon the committee
of the Ulster Yacht club to Insist on conditions -
ditions of the most drastic kind. One said
the race should be contested off Madeira
or Azores , but. the challenger's advisers are
entirely opposed to any such proposal.
The fate of the challenge depends on
how far the committee of the Ulster club
is prevailed upon by certain leading yachtsmen -
men hero who ask for unworkable or obnoxious -
noxious conditions. The Ulster Yacht club
is most anxious to carry the matter through ,
and It is now felt that it was an egregious
mistake not to have acted upon its own
responsibility , but having invited suggestions -
tions from yacht squadron people , it. cannot
altogether ignore them.
I heard from undoubted authority 'that
the tables are likely to be turned on Hooley
in an unexpected fashion , In connection
with his charges of blackmailing and eec-
ruption against certain newspapers , the
opinion of eminent lawyers has been taken
on the possibility of prosecuting Hooley and
his agents ( or conspiracy to procure false
and fraululent representations in the preses
in the interest of his company's promotions.
The counsels' statement is such that
prosecution would undoubtedly lie If cvi-
deuce of a conspiracy can be produced , but
it is pointed out that such evidence is c -
tremely difticult to obtain , Hooley's chief
emissary , A , M , Broadley , has left the coun-
try , as a warrant had been issued for his
arrest five years ago in connection with an
abominable scandal and he should have
been arrested on his return but5for police
laxity.
Ilooley , himself , speaking after his last
examination in the bankruptcy court , said
to a friend 'i intend making a perfectly
clean breast of everything , and think the
public , especially the investing public , ought
to be grateful to me for doing so. I had to
act according to the conditions by which I
was surrounded when I entered business in
the city of London , only I was more generous -
erous and confiding than the ordinary corn-
pany promoter , and sharks took advantage
of me. I am far happier now than I was
during the last two years when I was sought
after and toadied by all kinds of person.

G055i5) About the PrIncess ,
A political explanation of the princess of
Wa'es' ' rush to Copenhagen has been now
abandoned , and the first excuse of her
mother's serious illeess has been revived ,
Tim fact. that the queen of Denmark goes
out driving every day is explained by say-
lug that the doctors advised her to take as
much carriage exercise as possible , but it
is evident that. an aged woman who can
drive out twice a day is not in sufficiently
precarious condition to demand that her
daughter should go post. haste to her side
at. a moment's notice.
Affairs on board the royal yacht Osborne
since the princess' departure have undergone -
gone a complete tranaformatton , t special
correspondent at Cowes wires ; "The prince
is certainly not mourning much over the
reported illness of his mother-in-law , Ever
since the princess left be has entertained
relays of visitors aboard the yacht , and Is
described by them as being in the best pos.
sible spirits. Before the princess left few
of his friends ventured aboard , All was
stiffness and formality. Now a steam
launch is running all the time between the
royal yacht squadron castle and the Osborne ,
bringing all the smart people to and fro ,
The simple truth is the prince was bored
to extinction by the dullness of life on the
Osborne while the princess was mounting
guard over him. lie could stand it no
longer , and issued invitations for luncheon
and after dinner yisiis to a varied circle of
friends at Coweb. Thereupon the princess
objected and left the yacht.
It is not thought there is anything serious
in the quarrel , The princess' temper has
grown testr In late years , and these diner.
vnce have been of frequent occurrence ; but
It happened Ia Ihiscasu she could. ot mart.
feat her displeasure without attracting public
notice , The princess , who is extremely
quiet anl depressingly piops , hates general
society because she Is deaf , and pursues her
own course with determination. At a miii-
tary tournament recently in London the

ehension the new regime established
flee the princess' departure , but the prince
asists on not being treated any'ionger as
an invalid and that only occasional bulletins
be issucd. Ito ha made wonderful progress
up to the present , owing largely to the
strictness with which the princess saw the
doctors' orders fulfilled , hut if'ho gets restless -
less now , as it. is feared , then much of the
good accomplished will be undone.
It has been said the Countess ofVar -
wick was at. Cowes , but. this is not true.
The countess is ill at Warwick castle , su.ffer-
ing again from the nervous breakdown that
confined her to bed for two months last
autumn.
The report that the Indian mints are about
to be reopened to the coinage of silver is
based on a. remarkable statement by an
eminent Hlndoo financier , that owing to a
shortage of sliver coinage in India a wholesale -
sale illegal coinage of rupees is going on ,
coins being turned out so perfectly that
mint experts even can with difficulty 'Ic-
beet them. But this silver stringency is do-
elated by the Indian government to be due
to temporary causes connected with moving
a good harvest , and Is airaazly passing away ,
money being again easier.
Lord George Hamilton , secretary of state
for India , when asked today in the house
of Ccmmons whether the reported intention
of opening the mints was well founded , re-
idled that it was impossible for him to give
an answer to such a question , for ho would
state the financial position of India in full
on Wedncsday , when he makes his budget
statement.
Among the best Informed bimetallists in
the house th belief prevails that some
slight concessIons would be offered by him
on' the silver question on Wednesday , but
the opening of the Indian mints certainly
will not be announced pending the report of
the commission now enquiring into the sub-
jcct.

HEALTH OF MARINES IS GOOD

WASHJNGTON , Aug. 6.-The secretary of
the navy made public the following teieparn
from Admiral Sampson :
PLAYA , Aug. 6.-MarIne battalion Is in
excellent health. Sick list numbers 2 per
cent. Fleet surgeon reports that they are
in bettor condition for service in this climate -
mate than they were when they first arrived -
rived south in June. Health of the squadron -
ron at Guantanamo fairly goad , Sick list
numbers about 3 per cent. General tone
of health of the ships' companies has fallen
considerably since the first of July. This.
however , is not duo to the prevalence of I
any disease , but is probably due to the release -
lease from the strain and constant effort
under which they so long lived ; and to this ,
probably than to any other cause , is due
their somewhat impaired physique , I do
not think it necessary to send the marine
battalion north. The crews have borne their
privations in a manner beyond praise ; those
of three ships have not. been ashore for
seven months and three months in a debilitating -
bilitating climate. SAMPSON.
Secretary Long stated tonight that It is
the purpose of the department to order north
those ships which are not required for block.

will permit. .

WASHINGTON , Aug. 6.-SpaIn's answer
to the American demands was not received
by the F'rench ambassador up to midnight
tonight. M. Cambon and his staff , who
had been awaiting It throughout the evening -
ing , at that hour were convinced that it
would not arrive before tomorrow and the
ambassador retired and the members of his
staff went to their homes.
Just a week ago today Ambassador -
sador Camboa received from the
president the terms of peace that would
be granted by the United States. When
the State department closed its doors this
afternoon the Spanish government had not
signified whether or not it was prepared
to accept these conditions. Every day dur-
lag the last week an answer has been cx-
pected and that same feeling of expectancy
prevailed at the close of the week. It Is
significant that all responsible government
officials are satisfied the reply will be an
acceptance of our terms when it does come.

tion that he was seeking to male an appointment -
pointment for the ambassador to meet. the
president to deliver the Spanish answer.
This , however. turned out to be erroneous.
M. Tbiebault's business being connected with
some of the recent seizures of French merchant -
chant vessels by the blockading fleet and
relating in no way to the Spanish peace
negotiations.
The fact that Secretary Day , who had
contemplated a trip to Atlantic City this
afternoon , did not leave town , was also the
basis for another guess that he bad notice
the Spanish note was coming immediately ,
and that his presence would be required
here , As a matter of fact the secretary was
detained beyond his train tirn by his To-
ception of the Italian ambassador , who bad
: . . long conference over the Cerruti case.
Altogether , though , the expectation of an
early answer is still cherished , it was the
belief of the official's , when the day closed ,
that there Is now little likelihood of its receipt -
ceipt by the president before Monday. It
was rumored in some quarters that the
Spanish government had sent along a notice -
tice that it had accepted the principal
American terms , and would be prepared to
make formal answer Monday , but the
French embassy , which would be the only
recipient of such notice , gave a quick and
effectIve denial of this story.
While all this delay is deprecated , it is
realized that Sagasta probably is making
the struggle of his life to bring the Spanish -
ish party leaders to the point where they
ill agree to , stand by him in his acceptance -
anco of the terms of peace , This fact tends
to secure the indulgence of our government
in some degree , and this is more readily cx-
tended in consideration of the fact that so
far from having surrendered any advantage
in agreeing to discuss terms of peace , we
ae gaining something substantial every
day in the prosecution of the campaign ins
revealed by the reports from Porto Rico.
Naval l'liins Uneliangeil.
The naval plans of operations are also
moving steadily forward , and notwtthstand-
log statements to the effect that the projected -
jected cruise against the Spanish coast by
the eastern squadron has been abandoned ,
Secretary Long stated this afternoon that
no change haul been made in the plans of
the department respecting that squadron.
Up to this point not the slightest corn-
plaint has reached the department respect-
I IflL' thi manacement of the Porte Rican
campaign , a tribute to General Miles' abil-
Ity. No word has come of soldiers without
foo.i or ammunition , or of sick men without -
out doctors or medicine , nor is the inward
movement of the American army delayed
for lack of artillery owing to General Miles'
insistence upon keeping his artillery in the
vanguard , and giving personal attention to
the commissary and quartermaster depart-
meats.
The War department officials now say
that General Shatter's army wIll begin embarking -
barking in earnest tomorrow , the transports -
ports which are arriving being obliged to
take on stores for the homeward trip. These ,
however , will be limited in quantity in or-
dec to avoid unnecessary delay and only
ten days' rations will be placed aboard each
ship. Colonel Ilecker , in charge of trans.
portatlon , said that he believed it would
be scarcely necessary for the transports to
make two trips , for in addition to the ships
already at Santiago , there will be 'avaiiable
for transport purposes the steamers which
arc carrying to Santiago the Immune regi-
rnents which are to replace the Fifth army
corps at that point.
The Merritt-Chapman Wrecking company
ha informed the Navy department that the
wreckers have succeeded In floating the
Spanish cruiser Marie Teresa and are about
to start it under its own steam to Norfolk.
The navy has nothing to do with this voy.
age , the wreckers having contracted to deliver -
liver any of the vessels of Cervera's fleet
that might be recovered at Norfolk. It is
expected that th battle.scarred Spanish
bhip will attract thousands of curious visit-
era when it reaches Hampton Roads , It is
fully expected at the Navy department that
the Marie Teresa will require extensive re.
pairs , having suffered not only from shot ,
shell and fire , but also from a month's submersion -
mersion In the quickly fouling water of
South Cuba. However , the repairs will certainly -
tainly be made for the sentimental reason
is strong enough to warrant the expenditure
of money enough to put the ship into serv-
iceabie condition.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA , Aug. 6.-New
York World Cablegram-Special Telegram. )
-The work of embarking the American
troops for shipment to the isolated camp
at Montauk Point , Long Island , begins to-
morrow. Three transports are awaiting
to receive the first regiments of cavalry
and Rough Riders. Probably 700 men in
all will be sent away in the first consign-
meat of the sick. The most suffering Is
from calenture , a native fever , which , while
it is not as deadly as yellow fever , is more
painful and weakening. The characteristics
of the disease are a high fever , the tern.
perature ranging from 100 to 105 , with
pains in every bone of the body and de-
hirium. The treatment consists of profuse
sweating anti total abstinence from food
for five or six days. A patient Is given all
the water he can drink , however. After the
fever has commenced to subside twenty to
fifty grains of quinine are given daily.
William Astor Chanler has received as high
as seventy grains of quinine daily.
. Time reports today show that 30 per cent
of the men In all the camps to the east
and south of SantIago are unfit for duty.
The hospitals are completely filled with
cases and many men who are not in the
hospital are unable to vork. There have
been four deaths from calenture among the
soldiers during the last four days. FollowIng -
lowIng are the victims : William Cheevers ,
Company I , private ; Gus Graham , Company
L ; private ; Stewart Williams , hospital
corps ; Sergeant Young , Company E.
There have been no deaths among the
Rough Riders , save those who were killed
in battle. The number of sick Is now
much larger than at any other time. Exposed -
posed to the fever , the tropical sun and
the heavy night dews all are anxious to
get away , believing they cannot get well
here. All hospitals , regimental and dlvi-
sion , corps and Red Cross , are filled.
Eighty officers are sick with calenture and
from their wounds at the Club National ,
which has been transformed Into a Red
Cross hospital under charge of Miss
Wheeler , daughter of General Wheeler ,
Six noble young women are caring for the
men here. All the sick will be sent home
as rapidly as transports can carry them.

LONDON , Aug. 6.-Ncw ( York World
Cablegram-Special Tclegram.-The ) Cowea
correspondent wires that great satisfaction
is felt In yachting circles at Lipton's chat-
lenge , but opinions as to the probability of
his success differ considerably , Captain
Jones , who witnessed the last race and
closely followed the performances of the
latest cracks , said :
"I doubt whether any boat built in Eng.
land capable of crossing the Atlantic will
be of much use against 'lierreshoffs' boat
designed especially for American water , The
Dana Rainbow is faster than the Valkyrlo
in running , but not so well as a defender , "
Lord Charles lieresford said : "I see no
earthly reason why an English yacht should
not recapture the cap , The performances
of the latest cracks indicate a decided im'
i'rorement ' over the Valkyrie , but of course
any yacht put up on this side of the Atlantic -
lantic is necessarily handicapped by the
strain in making the ocean passage , At the
same time I consider that whatever time cc-
suit the interests of yacht racing , smart
seamanship and marine architecture will be
advanced , "
Captain Sycamore said : "I believe a
shamrock will be built by Ingila and with.
out dIsparaging Harland V'oitt I consider
yacht construction is ap art that. the best
ship builders have never been able to acquire -
quire , Only those firms that have made a
study of this class of work are able to turn
out really successful boats. "
Sycamore has not been approached yet ,
but woulii not requfte much persuasion to
take charge or a new boat and after previous
experiences feel confident that with a free
hand he would have a good chance of euu-
cees ,

It is stated on good authority that the

peace conditions , has beeti completed anti

LONDON , Aug. 6.-The Madrid correspondent -

Spain's answer will accept all the Amen-
can terms , except that regarding the Cuban
debt. The government will fight this point
on the ground that in all other cessions
of territory by one nation to another the
ceded territory has carried with it its own
debt or the proportion belonging to the
nation by which it is ceded.

MADRID , Aug. 6.-New ( York World Ca-
blegram-Special Telegrani.-Sngasta ) vilt
communicate to the queen regent today the'
result of his consultations and ii he oh.
tains her assent will hold a cabinet councfl
this evening in which the ministers wil
concert to finally approve a definite reply
for Spain , accepting the 9reliminary conditions -
ditions imposed 'by the United States gov-
crnment for official opening of further ne-
gotiations. Details of the treaty will ho
then dIscussed by the two governments without -
out the assistance of French diplomacy and
by a mixed committee which 'will meet in
Paris after the middle of August. The
impression in official circles is that a suspension -
pension of hostilities Is imminent.
The government is rather annoyed because
the Madrid press points out that. many of
the personages eonbulted did not conceal that
they would have preferred to place the peace
negotiations in the hands of a stronger goy-
crnrnent even taken from the liberal ranks
and a majority of personages outside the
gcnernls advocated the earliest possible convocation -
vocation of the Cortes , with a view to yen-
tiiato in Parliament the delicate question of
responsibility arising from the present situation -
uation and from time war , ,
i'rcss Criticisms ,
Imprclal ubllshes today an evidently inspired -
spired article adroitly reasoning from Spanish -
ish and , financial points of view advocating
that Cuba , when thoroughly reorganized
under an American protectorate , should un
dertake the burden of all its debts. Iu-
parcial says it will go hard with Cuban
bondholders if Spain , impoverished by recent -
cent colonial and foreign wars , should have
taken up the burden of Cuban debts she
unfortunately guaranteed , It then goes o
skillfully calling the attention of European '
holders of Cuban stock to the following aug.
gestion , namely , that Spain should advance
enough to pay the interest and amortisation
of Cuban debts only until Cuban resources
are sufficiently developed under American
assistance to permit tIme Cuban republic to . .
take charge of its debt.
Imparcial plainly Indicates that the aug.
gestion might he a basis of negotiations ,
and that a majority of Spaniards persist
In thinking their government will continua
to decide that America may do something
for Cuban bondholilers , although almost the
whole debt , $155,000,000 , existing in 1895
when the present rising began , and $400-
000,000 since , has been spent and wholly
devoted to the expense of keeping sitanish
