TBI CUBAN QUESTION.
Praiaiaal Cable CoaanU for Fall He.
arta. Coaeeralaa- she Creseas
miaau.a.
Washington,' D. C President Mo-
Einley has under earnest consideration
tbe advisability of sending a message to
Congress next week on the Cuban ques
tion, but has not yet come to a decision
In the matter. The message if it goes In,
wilt be entirely paciflo in tone, and, it
can be stated on good authority, will not
be of a warlike tenor. In order to have
the facts on which to base a message,
Mr. McKinley has bad cablegrams sent
to every consular officer In Cuba, asking
each of them to give exact information
as to the status of affairs in his district,
and to telegraph replies at once. It was
understood by some members of the
Senate committee on Foreign Relations
that this information would, no doubt,
be communicated to the Senate, but
whether it would be accompanied by a
message recommending action, was vet
a matter of doubt. '
Tbe meeting of the Cabinet was de
voted almost entirely to the considera
tion of the Cuban situation. The meet
ing occurred an hour earlier than usual
owing to the importance of question at
the President and Cabinet were leaving
for Philadelphia. The cabinet discussion
of the Cuban situation was upon the ad
visability of asking Concress to provide
Immediate relief to the Americans, who
are, according to the reports received
from Contul-Goneral Lee, peuned up in
tbe cities, and in actual danger of starva
tion.- It had no bearing upon the policy
of the administration toward Spain or
tne Cuban Insurgents excent Incidentally
but dealt with the direct question ot re
lieving destitute Americans on the it
land. ' ,
. Secretary Sherman laidbcforc the cabi
net some most important documents re
garding the situation ami before lh
meeting was over JuJge Day, AssUli nt
Secretary of State personally took to the
White Houie some additional papers for
which the Secretary had sent, .
Every phase of the matter wns discuss
ed, the advisability of asking Congrosi
for an appropriation, Simla.' s attitu le,
the methods of distributing relief and
the neccesaity or advisability of having
a warship accompany food supplies. But
the final discussion of the question wss
postponed until Consul-General Leo mid
other (American Consuls In Cuba and
probably Mr. Calhoun make their reports
by cable to the department. They have
been requested to cable the latest facts to
to the existing situation.

Bridgkport, Conn. "The fastest ves
sel of her class In the world" was the
verdict accorded by uitt officers of tbe
trial board at tbe conclusion of the speed
trial of the new gunboat' Nashvill. on
Long Island sound.
The speed required by the Government
was 18.07 knots. The average speed made
by the vessel was 16,708 knots, making
an excess of speed very near three knots.
With a bonus of 130,000 for each excess
knot, this means a total of 00,000 for
the builders.. The time for the thirty
mile run was one hour, thirty-five niin
otes and thlrtj-alx seconds, The elapsed
time for ths second run was one hour,
forty -eight minutes snd sixteen second.
The sverage spued was 10.07 knotai on
the run out the speed was 16.70 knots'
The home run was a trifle slower, .10.63
knots being the averng, the mean speed
for the two runs being 16.701.
Tbe sieerlug qualities nf the vessel
were excellent. Tbe helm was put from
"hnTil on" to "hsrd on" In twenty sec
omls, (he ship only krelnig three degrees

ATHBN9. Desperate, fighting has been
in progress nearGriboro, on the roa I to
Flllippiada.' Two brigade of Giocks,
with many guni, two companies of sap
pers and a squadron of cavalry, attnek (!
the Turks, who were almost wilbiut
artillery. The Greeks forced the first
Turkish line of defense, but mot with a
stubborn resistance at the second. In
several places the bayonets were so close
to the cannon that they (the bayonet)
could not be used. - .
The fighting at Giiboro has ceascii and
the Greeks have occupied various heights
in the neighborhood. Twenty-five offi
cers and 400 men are hors de combat.
The gunboat flotilla has been attack
ing Nicopolis from inside the Gulf of
Ambracsla, with a simultaneous otlae.k
proceeding from the land side. Tne
Turkish batteries replied vigorously and
firmly resisted the attack. The coming
on of darkness stopped the engagement.
All the Greek efforts are now concen
trated upon rapturing Nicopolis and
Pre'vesa before advancing to Penlepig
hadia. Douokos. The Turkshave retired in
the direction of Pbarsalia.

New York. The demoralized condi
tion of commerce between this cou.itiy
and Cuba, and the great loss and de
struction of property interests Hint nre
going on there as a result of the w ir
have induced some nf the leading b ink
ers and merchants ot this city doing
business with Cuba to get up a mem rial
to the United Stales Government, prat
ing it to do what it can to put au eud to
the war in Cuba and restore peace lo the
Island in the interests nf humanity and
commerce. The memorial is addressed
to John Sherman, Secretary of State- and
it has been signed by nearly H the well
known merchants and bankers in this
cily, but It has not yet, according to
some of those signers., been presented to
the Government, but has been sent to
Philadelphia mid lioston iu order that
It may also hesigou'd: by the mercli.uits
and bankers ot those eitiku, before U-iug
forwarded lo. Svi-retsry Sherman. The
trainers of the- itM-uux-hil hero were un
willing toihT lu make the lest of the
memoriol pulilk; iiulll It him bei'ii pre
senteit to Secretary Sherman, as they
were of the nouiion Hint to do so would
be discourteous to the Secretary, .
Tb first signature on tbe meiuori il is
that of Lawrence Tiirniirc & Co., buik-
, of No, SO Wall street, who for many
years have done a very lnr;;e business
with Cuba, ' representing the 8itish
B.ink of Cuba, snd ulso the municipality
of Havana In the payment of coupon! on
Havana Water Works bonjbj, etc. James
E. Ward & Co., the New York and Cuba
Mall Steamship Company, August Pel
mont b Co., and many other prominent
Arms nlso signed the memorial. Tlas
document itself does not contain one
word of polities or any. politif al refer
ence, and this tact the 'framers and
signers of it are anxious to make plain. '
THE COTTON MARKETS.
May I J.-
Thb spot sales in Liverpool toduy were
only 6,000 bales. For sosse days the
spot Liverpool business has been so
mall as to prove a disturbing factor. ,
New York opened at 7.8i for August
and closed 7.38, the asms as yesterday.
The dry goods situation In ths United
Stales is not In a very healthy d ndl
Uon and spot cotton called for
sparingly.
Th cotton statistical poeitlon grows
. stronger dally and it Is now probable
many mills will have to close before
- new crop cornea In because the Inter
mediate grades of cotton are becoming
very scarce and cannot be had Inabnn
danoeeven at the high premiums rul
ing for such cottons.
Th new crop is progressing fairly wall,
Texas sends out more encouraging re
ports than any other section. .
