HI LLS HOLD WHIP BAND. some OUMaetd observer* Pvedlot Ad? vance to 17 Cents?The Situation. New York, May It.?Unquestion? ably the bull hand has been on the lever during the past week when prices have advanced $3 to $4 a bole on the present crop and $1.50 to $2 on the new crop. An Interesting fea? ture of the week is that August and September have begun to wake up July has been really the centre of events. howevofi and the May option, though undoubtedly strong, has to some extent been relegated to the background. Many shorts have not a great deal of time remaining in which to make large deliveries if they intend to do so. The story is that the South has been scoured for cotton to send here without the success which was at one time expected. Some unbiased observer puts the situation in this blunt fashion: "The hears have been whipped and cotton is going to 17 cents." However this may be, the tone of late has undoubtedly been strong. Spinners' takings have recently in? creased sharply. Receipts at the ports and interior towns have been small. The statistical position has steadily gained strength. The spot demand at the South Is said to have been In? creased materially and prices have been buoyant. At Liverpool the spot sales have ranged from 10,000 to 15,000 bales a day. At Alexandria, Egypt, prices have advanced over 20 points. The certificated stock here, which was re? cently increased rapidly, has latterly turned the other way. Moderate de? creases have taken place. The other day freight room was engaged for 25,000 hales for shipment to Europe and 50,000 to 60,000 to be sent South. On Thursday over 5,000 bales were actually exported from New York; more than 6,000 ables were sold In addition. According to the govern? ment reports that rainfall has been much below normal of late in Texas, Alabama and Mississippi as well as In Louisiana, Arkansas, Florida. Fall River's sales of print cloths show some tendency in increase. Yet it is true that some of the crop reports from the South are very favorable. The outlook in Texas Is said to be on the whole good. Leading bulls, however, are quietly selling July freely here on the rise to secure profits. The heavy covering of late has necessarily re? duced the short Interest materially General speculation suffers from the fact that the market is so largely dominated by a pool. With current prices of cotton so high it Is expect? ed that the South will bend every en? ergy to raise as big a crop as possible. On the whole bullish Influences, as may be gathered from the sharp ad? vance, have predominated. Friday was another bull day with a big leap in prtesej, This was followed by a set? back on heavy liquidation. ?Poley Kidney Pills are antiseptic, tonic and restorative and a prompt corrective of all urinary Irregularltle Refuse substitutes.

May 12.?The biggest :?hip in the American navy slid off the ways today at the New York navy yard, when the battleship Florida dropped into the water.

Believed That Another Participant In Fort Fremont Row Will Be Captor Beaufort, May 13.?This morning the representative of The State, with the launch Mystic, took Deputy Sher? iff Matthew O'Donnell White, who in the past five years has been sent out after upwards of a hundred reputed negro desperadoes, and who has nev? er failed to get his man, to St. Helena Island, a sea island on which Fort Fremont is located, with a popula? tion of about 6,000 negroes and prob? ably 100 white people outside of the garrison. Thv? officer and the newspaper man spent the day in tracing the two ne? groes from place to p'ace through the swamps and the negro settlements on St .Helena and finally found Isaiah Potter. They caught him at 9:30 to? night near quarantine station. He had gone to Paris Island, about four miles from Fort Fremont, and was in hiding there. The other negro want? ed will probably be caught tomorrow, as the searchers believe they have him located. Private McNally, one of the soldiers shot on Tuesday, has been having in? ternal hemorrhages, though the post surgeon says he will recover. Quigley, shot at the same time, is in a pre? carious condition and his recovery is uncertain. The negro arrested, Isaiah Potter, known as Little Potter, before the shooting was a pet and companion of the soldiers. It was he who was cut a short time ago by one of the soldiers, which, according to the soldiers, was the cause of the succeeding trouble. The following is the story of the af? fair he tells: The first trouble between the sol? diers at Fort Fremont and the Potters was caused by an intimacy which ex? isted between Will Potter's wife and Private Brown of the One Hundred and Twenty-seventh company, sta? tioned at Fort Fremont. Will Potter met Brown some time ago and accused him of the intimacy with his wife. The soldier made denial and the negro told him there was no doubt about it. The negro threatened Brown with a sound thrashing. The soldier stood what Isaiah Potter says wa3 "a good cussing," and went back to the fort. When Private Brown returned to the fort he said that the two Potters had made threats to shoot the first soldier caught off the reservation, as was stated in previous report. The man arrested says he knows of no such threat being made. Potter says that the soldiers went to the house of the mother of the man who did the shoot? ing, put a gun in her face and told her if she did not give them a match with which to set fire to the house and smoke her son out they would blow her head off. Will Potter, who was in the house, yelled for them not to come in or to burn the house, as it was not his house but his mother's. The soldiers then began shooting at the house and rushed in. Potter, who had retreated upstirs, fired at them with a double-barreled shotgun. He stood on the stair steps, and shot at the men, who were attempting to come upstairs after him. When he shot two of the men down, the others ran and jumped out of the window. The two Potters made their way across the island and spent the night with negro friends. The next day i Isiah Potter, the man captured, had a I friendly negro to row him over to Paris island, where he went to the house In which he was found by the deputy. Isiah Potter says that the manner in which he received the cuts inflicted by the soldiers occurred as follows: After Will Potter had "cussed out" Brown he met Privates Pfeiffer and Maghan. who asked him where "that damn brother" of his was and if he had threatened to do violence to Brown or any other soldier. When Potter told the soldiers that he did not know or care where the other Potter was, Private Maghan began cutting him on the head and ear, in? flicting wounds that required seven or eight stitches. The Potter arrested declares lie knows nothing of the am? bushing of the soldiers on Monday night.

PVERLOS ON TTIE WAR PATH? i Indian Uprising in Now Mexico Cause Of Great Apprehension. East Las Vegas, N. M.. May 13.? An uprising of serious proportions has broken out among the Pueblo Indians at Taos, seventy miles northwest of here, and tonight troops are hurrying by a special train from Santa Fe to check a possible massacre of white ranchers. The Indians have cut all telephone and telegraph wires from Taos, but reports indicate that the depredations have been confined to an attack on the wife and children of L. L. Myers, a homesteader, the cutting of fences and the theft of horses and cattle. Further attacks are feared by ran? chers, and Judge John R. McFee, con? ducting court at Taos, today issued an urgent demand for troops to Gov? ernor Miles. He declared a massacre was imminent. The Governor imme? diately ordered fifty men of the Na? tional Guard to Taos. The guards? men will reach Taos tomorrow morn? ing. I A company at Santa Fe is in readi? ness to march at a moment's notice. i The uprising of the Pueblos, who for years have been peaceful, is be? lieved to have been caused by the punishment of Pueblos by Territorial officers. For several weeks ranchers near Taos have found their fences cut and their stock missing. The discontent of the Indians culminateu yesterday in the attack on the Myers household. | The taking of the census is also be- I Heved to have caused much unrest among the Indians. When the enum? erators reached Santo Domingo, and San Dia, the Indians refused all In? formation concerning members of tne tribes and threatened the numera? tors with violence. It was only after the census takers had threatened to bring troops and former Governor Curry had gone per? sonally to the chiefs and reassured them, that they finally consented to answer questions. Several eastern artists are believed to be In or near Taos, which was once headquarters of Kit Carson, making sketches of Indian life.
