SATISFACTION AT
MANGROVE'S FEAT
First News from Havana Brought by the
Lucellne.
WOULD CAPTAIN TUCKER TELL A HE?

Key "West, Aprlt 27. Tho capture oC
the Spanish steamer Panama, with her
rich carpro, by the Mangrove, Is the
best prize expected in these waters for
many a day. "When the achievement
became known on the New York loud
cheers broke from the crowded decks.
The Mangrove, which was going to
Key West for coal, ran right into the
Spaniard, which endeavored to get
away. The Indiana was signalled by
the flagship and Joined in the chase,
but apparently the chief glory belongs
to the Mangrove.
Intense satisfaction is felt among the
olllcers of the New York over the cap
ture, for a visitant lookout has been
kept during the Inst few days, and to
night some feared that the Panama
might have slipped into Havana. Her
vnltu Is sreat, quite apart from the
intrinsic worth of the hull and cargo.
It would have been most detrimental
to the blockade if the provisions which
she carried hud been taken into Ha
Minn. The first news from Havana reached
the squadron this evening when the
British steamer IvUcelino was stopped
by the flagship. The Lucellne is com
manded by Captain Tucker. She halls
from London and was bound from Ha
vana for Iiermuda and Philadelphia.
She lias about 200 Cuban?, men, wo
men and children, on board, beside a
argo of horses and sugar. She Is the
llrst boat known to have left Havana
since last Friday, when the blockade
ns commenced. She was seen com
ing out from El Morro about 5 p. in.,
and was about six miles from land be
fore the New York started on her trail.
Smoke poured from the flagship's
smokestacks as she rushed through the
calm water to cut off the stranger,
who was also going at a good pace.
Lieutenant Marble was sent on board
by Captain Chadwlck. The Cubans on
the Luceline's deck shouted "Hujrah!"
ruui waved their hands at the New
York. Captain Tucker gave satlsfac
tnry.jiroofs of the Luceline's identity.
He said that the people in Havana did
not know that war was in progress.
The English consul general, Mr. Got
Inn, had said nothing to him, so Cap
tain Tucker alleged, about the war, or
the blockade. When asked what ex
planation was given in Havana for the
appearance of American ships outside
301 Morro, Captain Tucker said lie had
not bothered his head about it, and
bad not heard anyone talking on the
subject. There were no evidences, he
continued, of starvation in the city of
Havana. Ills Cuban passengers many
of them children in arms were get
ting out of Havana, "on general prin
ciples." He had heard that more mines
were to bo laid in the harbor. Captain
Tucker declared that he had not read
any of the Havana papers.
CHEERS FOR MAIIBLE.
ftur a careful inspection Lieutenant
Marble left the Lucellne. Three cheers
v .'re given as he wont over the side.
1 is the opinion of this cor.espondent
that very little reliance can bo placed
upon Captain Tucker's story.
About two hundred Spanish cavalry
vere (een on the beacli about fifteen
miles from El Morro this afternoon.
The flagship wns lyli at no great
distance from the shore and they were
within easy range; hut no shots were
bred. It is believed the Spanish cav
alry is establishing a patrol to pre
ent a repetition of such Incidents as
the Pcrter landing Monday night. The
i:i Morro batteries were believed to be
firing at something at about U p. m.; but
it was impossible to ascertain definite
ly whether this was so or not.
The Wilmington captured the tiny
schooner Sol of Sagua, with a cargo of
sugar, but lot her go, after being care
tul to seo that she went in a direction
opposite to Havana.
The news from Matanzas, Cardenas
and Marlel Is meagre; but It Indicates
that the blockade has been firmly cstab-
JiMied at these ports. The torpedo boat
Poote is reported us having been fair
ly on the Matanzas batteries; but thus
far not a single casualty of any kind in
the fleet has been heard of on the flag
ship. Lieutenant Juan del Pino of the
Spanish infantry and his orderly were
brought on board the flagship yester
day morning from the gunboat Wil
mington, to whom they had been turn
ed over by the cruiser Cincinnati. The
cruiser captured the Spaniards while
they were In a small schooner bound for
Matanzas. Lieutenant Pino was on a
furlough and wns going to see his wife
and Infant child The child wob born
last Friday and he had never seen It.
In these circumstances Admiral Samp
son and Cuptain Chadwlck decided to
let the oillccr and lila orderly go under
parole,

Popullstlc Eloqticnco--Mr. Dolli
ver, Iown, Makes the Most Nutublo
Hpoeeh of Ilia Day.
Washington, April 27. The general
debate upon the mea&ure framed by
tho ways and means committee to meet
the exttaordlnary expenditures of this
war with Spain opened in the house to
day. It will continue through tomor
row, and on Friday at 4 o'clock the
vote will he taken. There was a sig
nal absence of the partisan rancor
which has always heretofore character
ized dehute of revenue measures. Both
sides, speaking through their respec
tive leaders, Messrs. Dingley ami
Rnllpy.concurred In the necessity which
existed for immediate raising of hun
dreds of millions to prosecute war, but
the opposing doctrines which they held
clashed on the llrst account over the
methods by which the revenue should
be raised.
The section providing for $500,000,000
of bonds became the target for the
Democratic and Popullstic opposition,
and Mr. Bailey In an hour's speech ar
gued for an income tax which would
raise $100,000,000 a year, the coinage
of the silver seigniorage nnd the issut;
of JjS.OOO.OOO of lPgal tender notes as
an alternative proposition. Mr. Ding
ley declared that it was almost in
credible that any ono could seriously
propose In such a crisis that the gov
ernment should rely for funds upon
the proceeds of another law suit over
n proposition which the supreme court
had already decided against the gov
ernment. OBJECTIONS TO AMOUNT.
Mr. Sayers, of Texas, the ranking
member of tho appropriations commit
tee, devoted his time to nn argument
to demonstrate that tho money to be
raised by the bill was excessive and
would breed reckless profligacy. The
expenses of the Civil war. In ISCi,
when the government maintained
2,000,000 men In the field nnd had four
times as many ships as it had today
were only $1,100,000,000. In view of that
fact, he contended, that to raise $fi!0,
000,000 to carry on a war, Insignificant
in comparison, must result in useless
waste and extravagance, Tho Popu
lists all vigorously opposed the bond
proposition.
Mr. Dolllver, of Iowa, in by far the
most notable speech of the day, added
to his reputation as a brilliant orator.
Ho assailed the position of tho oppo
sition in the curly portion of his
speech, but Its partisan llavor disap
peared toward the close, and ho arous
ed the house nnd galleries to cheers,
us, with eloquent words, no touched
the high, unselfish cause of humanity
In which the United States had drawn
the sworn, and then melted his audi
ence to tears as he referred to the
blowing up of the Maine and the now
commonwealth wo would rear as a
monument to guard tho memory of the
unforgotten dead. A recess of three
hours was taken nnd the session ad
journed at 10.3J) tonight.

Some one has said, "Style Is the
dress of thought." Do you realize- i
when one visits your home how
the furnishings tell the character of
the occupant? In one home you
will find ordinary inoffensive styles,
that's the "thoughless" buyer. In
another hideous colors and won
derful designs. That's the "care
less" buyer. In another dainty,
graceful designs, harmonious col
ors, the work of artistic people,
Which will you choose ?
