The hip battleship Iowa, commanded by Fighting Bob fc vans. was the iirst to Arc. There was little sea on at the time, and as a result the vet y first shell she fired was dropped cleanly into Mnrro Fort. Then the battleship Indiana opened lire. In a few minutes Morro Fort was reduced to a heap of ruins. The fort made little effort, to respond and was silenced almost immediately. There was great excitement in the city ai d there w> to not enough vehicles to remove t no panic stricken inhabitants t>> places of safety. ttovcrnor Maoias stuck to his post, assorting that he would die befote he would surrender. His daughter remained by his side. As the volunteers rushed through the streets In disorder she t r'h i\ ored to rally them.

Dun & Co.'s review of trade reports as follows for 1 t week: Hostilities have lusted long enough to kill many predictions, if but few Americans. The Kuropeun notion that the United States would begin by having a bad half hour, the theorist's notion that "everybody knows a great panic must follow the outbreak of war." the commercial buyer's notion that everybody would be ready to sell everything cheap if war came, the notion that it would pay to hoard money until the emergency had passed, have all been made laughable already. The only panic was when money lenders were wondering what deadly 1m possibilities the unknown might have in store for them. The only hindrance of industry has boon due to waiting or buyers who looked for lower prices. Nothing disheartening can be seen in the industrial situation except the dosing of some cotton irrills owing to overproduction, and the fall of print cloths to 1.78 cents. Cotton has not risen above 6.37 cents, and many stories of reduced acreage are current as a vear ago, but they do not weigh much, in view of the actual receipts of 10..700.000 bales. The sales of wool have been only 4,00.7.000 pounds at the three chief markets for two weeks, against 14..730.400 last year and 11.216.750 in 1892, but prices are somewhat more llrm. and there is more demand for goods apart from the large government orders. The demand for boots and shoes having passed all records in recent months, has abated, and yet many orders are coining forward, and lust at the point where there is general change from one season to another, the actual receipts ore 2 per cent larger than last year and 11 per cent larger than in 1892. though smaller than in other years.

THE BLOCKADING FLEET. .hells From Havam Batteries Explode Very Near to American Ships. The blockade of f'ubu continues effective. A shore battery at the Coot '! I he hill at Santa '"lava, near Havana, has r. |>catedly ? p? ir*d (ire on the gunhonts patrnlitig the inn< r line of the blockade. The other morning this hat (cry tired two shells at the Tecutnseh. One burst within _o v.nds of the little vessel and the other was almost as near, but neither did any damage. The same battery fired on the Teeumseh on .Monday and on the Vicksburg on Sunday. One shell burst 1?>0 yards short, ending a ftfifrment into the pilot house. None lias been injured by this shooting and the damage to the Vieksburg htis been repaired without sending '?he ship off her station. The marksmanship of this particular battery is the best so far encountered. In spite of this fact none of the shins show the least hesitancy in approaching it. and the only dissatisfaction felt by the men on tin Tecun sell is that ihe former tugboat does not carry heavy enough guns to destroy the battery.

RIOTS IN SPAIN. People Burn Warehouses After Securing AM the Wheat Stored Therein. The authorities at Madrid tire" groatly concerned altoat tin- provisions. It is estimated that tile stock <>f wheat will l>e consumed inside of a niontii, and measures an being taken to purchase wheat abroad. The bread riots at Alic.ir.tf>. the seapert of Valencia, continue, the women taking a prominent part in the work of d< struetion. A riotous mob paraded the streets, demanding cheaper itread and other .necessaries of life. The rioters marched to lite factories, where they were joined by the people who were at work. Latter they sacked til" Octroi bureau and burned the furniture and archives. A strong force of gendarmes was sent to the scene and a charge was made upon Nte mob. which was temporarily dispersed. Hut tlie rioters re-formed and attacked and burned all the bonded warehouses, after possessing themselves of the wheat in storage. A serious riot took place Wednesday at Ltogroiio, capital of the Spanish province of that name on the Kbro, f.0 milts from Burgos. The grain and r provision stores were attacked and pillaged by rioters who included numbers of women, armed with axes, choppers and cudgels. The cavalry charged the mob. hut the soldiers were repulsed by a determined onslaught made upon them by the women. Improved Marksmanship. It is believed that the French steamer Lafayette, which was released by the government last week after having iwen captured for running the Havana blockade, has furnished Blanco with men and ammunition. The batteries ui nii.tu.iiit arc imiie noerai in melt* shot anil the marksmanship shows an improvement. This fart leads the officials to I>e1le\e that tliey were trlelced by the French. An Effort to Retain the Philippine?. Dispatches from .Madrid say it is officially declared that the government of Spain has no intention of allowing Ucar Admiral Dewey to rest upon his Iannis. About -to.cm men of the reserves of the Spanish army have been ordered (< rejoin the colors and It is added that a formidable expedition Is being organized for dispatch to tDo Philippine Islands. The Spaniards of the City of Mexico contributed SHOO,000 to purchase provisions for th Spanish army In Cuba. When the provisions reached Vera Crnz President Diaz ordered thm they l o not shipped out of the country. Dowey lins the Cable Iiloyd's agent at Manila cabled from I long Kong to London that the blockade of the caidtal of the Philippine i. lands is subtly maintained and that the cable is on board an American vessel.
