TH SPANISH SQUADRON DOONED TIGHTLY CORNERED. Prem American Eattleships Lying Outside the Harbor of Santiago Where Admiral Cervera’s Cruisers Are Anchored, The navy department is now positive that the Sranish fleet is anchored in Santiago harbor. The news was re- ceived from Commodore Schley, and his fleet of battle-ships is now arrayed before the harbor from which the ene- my's ships must either emerge and fight or be sunk at their anchorage. The cruiser St. Paul, commanded by Capt. Sigsbee, late of the Maine, which has been cruising about Santiago for the last ten days, also reports the Span- ish fleet anchored in that harbor. The President said to a Senator when he learned of the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet, that the invasion of Cuba would begin immediately after .the Spanish fleet had been entrapped or destroyed. Judging from this, Cuba will be speedily invaded. It is reported that the fleet and sol- diery are monopolizing the supplies stored in Santiago, and fear and fam- ine prevail among the people. Schley’s blockade by sea and the in- surgent lines on land prevent the re- plenishing of the stores of provisions. The result is much excitement and dis- satisfaction, to which patriotism has been subordinated. The people believed that Cervera would simply take on supplies and go out to meet Sampson in battle. In- stead, the appearance of Schley’s squad- ron has compelled him to remain in port, awaiting relief. by the Cadiz squadron. The arrival of that fleet is necessarily uncertain, and the people of Santiago realize tha a mistake was made in bringing the squadron there. Cervera depends upon the Cadiz squadron to uncork the bottle into which he is shut. He is believed to know of the coming of the fleet. The cable is censored rigidly, and no ships are allowed to leave the harbor. Santiago believes it impossible for the ‘American ships to dash inside after Cervera, because, in addition to the line of forts, the channel has been thor- oughly mined. : Meanwhile, the insurgents are draw- ing all available forces around the city, and are prepared, in the event of an American naval victory, to attack the city on the land side, and try to take this last stronghold of the Spaniards in the eastern part of Cuba. Commodore Schley has secured a Cuban pilot who knows all about the Cuban coast and harbors, having been in the business for 17 years. It is said that he knows the exact location of all the mines planted by the Spaniards at Santiago. THE CUBAN INVASION. Not Until tke Forces Equal those of Blanco Will they Leave Tampa. It is the intention of President Mec- Kinley and the war department that the invasion of Cuba shall be made with a decisive rush, There will be no invasion until there are. 100,000 men, thoroughly equipped, encamped at Tampa. It is pointed out that General Blanco had an army of perhaps 100,000 acclimatized troops. In the opinion of the authorities it would be foolish to send less than that number of United States soldiers there, particularly as many of them are raw recruits and not acclimatized. When the blow is struck it must be decisive and it will take place almost immediately after the troops have been landed. There will be no bombardment of Havana until the American forces are on Cuban soil, and then army and navy will make a com- bined attack. ¢ GENERAL WEYLER.._ General Weyler declares that Cuba will be lost unless he is sent there. Once on the island, he declares, he would invade the United States. Explosion in a Powder Mill. By the explosion of a mixing mill at the smokeless powder works of the Dupont Company, at Carney’s Point, near Penns Grove, N. J., last week William Brown, a workman of Penns Grove, was killed. Thomas S. Shoul- ders, of Penns Grove, injured, and three mills destroyed. The explosion Is supposed to have been caused by a pebble in the mixing trough. The mili taught fire and the flames were com- municated to two other mills nearby. and they were also destroyed. Crew of Twenty Lost. The loss of the French brig Djenne Granville while on a voyage from Louisburg, Cape Breton, for St. Pierre and Miquelon, laden with coal, is con- firmed. It is believed here that the entire crew of 20 men perished. This is the vessel which, it is stated, Senor Polo, the ex-Spanish minister, charter- ed to convey coal to the Spanish fleet. NEWS NOTES. One hundred and thirty street cars were destroyed in a Baitimore fire last Sunday. Labor leaders in Chicago are de- nouncing Leiter, the “wheat king,” for cornering the market, and raising the price of wheat.

All of the volunteer soldiers will be vaccinated. All gecods from America to are to be admitted free of duty. It is the president’s intention to end the war before the summer is over. Blanco has sent word to Madrid the American fleet is off Santiago de Cuba. ~ Thirty thousand native volunteers at Manila have offered their services to Spain. Spaniards at Manila are rejoicing over the approach of another Spanish fleet. Three times as many men will‘be sent to the Philippines as were first intend- ed. The cruiser Harvard took on board 750 tons of coal at Kingston last Sun- day. More than twenty transports are waiting at Tampa, Fla., to take troops to Cuba. Blanco is impatient over the inacti- vity of Admiral Cervera of the Spanish squadron. The government has purchased the German steamship Rhaelia to be used as a collier. The Cuban relief ship Texas, laden with supplies has been lying at Key West for a month. Capt. James G. Blaine, son of the famous statesman, will go to Manila with the volunteers. Spanish reports say that 500 were killed and 700 wounded in the bombard- ment by Admiral Dewey. The Cuban insurgents are better armed and mounted than ever and are now moving upon Havana. The Commissary Department now has on hand at Tampa, TFla., three months’ rations for 50,000 men. Balloons will be used in determining the exact position of Admiral Cer- vera's fleet in Santiago harbor. Residents of Porto Rico say they will burn the cities in preference to sur- rendering to American soldiers. Capt. Blanco says there are only four American gun boats along the Cuban coast from Santiago to Havana. The horses and mules at Tampa are suffering greatly from the heat ana they are dying at the rate of five or 10 a day. Many of the camps have little or no shade for the horses. The soldiers of the north and south together, observed Memorial day on Southern battlefields last Monday. All classes at Manila are waiting anxiously the arrival of our troops. There is no sickness on our ships. For stabbing Dr. Gunter at Eutaw, Ala., Tuesday, Lynn Thomas, a negro, was lynched by the doctors’ friends. Senor Polo y Bernabe, late minister to the United States has been appoint- ed ambassador to Hungary-Austria.

Fifty thousand of the troops raised under the second call will be used to fill out deficient regiments already in service. * - The Spaniards at Manila have turned the guns of their forts landward to re- pel the impending attacks of the in- surgents. Breakbone fever, a mild form of yel- low fever has broken out among the soldiers in southern camps. This fever is not deadly. The- Turkish government refused to allow the Jews of Jerusalem to send a dispatch of sympathy to President Mc- Kinley last week. Admiral Sampson’s squadron is lying near Key West, prepared to intercept any Spanish vessel] from approaching Atlantic coast cities. Salt pork and beans has resulted in scurvy among the soldiers at Chicka- mauga. From now on the men will re- ceive fresh meat every day. Spain recently sent a note inviting the powers to protest jointly against the blockade of Cuba. The powers de- cided to take no action, and no replies have been received at Madrid. ~ A letter was stolen from the Spanish spy headquarters at Montreal, con- taining a list of Spain’s spies in the United States. Immense rewards have been offered by the enemy for the re- turn of this letter which is said to have fallen into the hand of United States detectives. Manila most destructive force against Unobserved She is also supplied with torpedo tubes ble projectiles against the enemy's boats by day and the searchlights at suspecting enemy. The boat is 53 feet for a considerable length of time. The war department has daily com- munications with the Cuban insur- gents. The currency of the United States will be legal tender on all islands oc- cupied by the United States during the war with Spain. Contractors at San Francisco are furnishing the troops with an inferior quality of food, and the government will investigate. The Spaniards retained $50 of the American newspaper correspondents’ money who were recently exchanged for Spanish prisoners. The captain of the Spanish gunboat Callao which was recently captured by Dewey will be shot for not returning the fire of the Americans. The Spanish Minister’ for the Colonies, Senor Giron, proposes to offer premiums for vessels carrying pro- visions to Cuba and Puerto Rico. Some Spaniards disgusted with the attitude of the European Powers, now believe that their only hope is ‘in directly negotiating with President McKinley for peace. The American bark Saranoc, captur- ed some time ago by the Spaniards, has been released. Dewey sent the gunboat Petrel to Iloilo where the bark lay and she effected a rescue. A Spaniard who wanted to know too much about the channel at Key West has been arrested and held as a spy. The contents of his trunk indicate him to be an officer of high degree. The following eventful disposition of troops has, it is said, been determined upon: For Cuba, 100,000 men; for Phil- ippines, 25,000 men; for Porto Rico, 25,- 000 men; for home defense, 100,000 men. The naval authorities entertain hopes of capturing four of the Spanish cruisers, bottled up in Santiago har- bor, intact. These ships would make splendid additions to the United States navy. So strict is the news censorship at Tampa and Key West, that the pub- lic will have no knowledge of the in- tended Cuban invasion, until the troops are actually on the island of Cuba. A dispatch from Manila via Hong Kong says the situation there is des- perate. Food is scarce and the avail- able supply will be exhausted in two weeks, Riots are threatened in the city. . An official denial was issued to ru- mors of the occupation, cession or sale of any Spanish territory to France, and it was also denied that the latter intends to occupy Moroccan territory. Jeorge A. Garretson, of Cleveland, Q.; Francis V. Greene of New York, and Charles King of Wisconsin, have been appointed to act as Brigadier generals and will go" =ith the volunteer troops to the Philippines. The Cuban insurgents last Saturday looted the town of Remedios, in sthe province of Santa Clara. They secured a large supply of food; 300 Mauser rifles, and 30,000 rounds of ammunition. Four insurgents were killed. The government has let a contract in San Francisco for 16,000 one-tents at a cost of $300,000 net. Every man of the Manila forces is to have one as part of his marching equipment and the sup- plies are to he purchased forward. A French Compliment. The French government has taken opportunity to pay a graceful compli- ment to this country by informing the French Embassy that an artist has been instructed to make a copy of the famous picture, ‘‘The Battle of York- town,” which is one of the priceless treasures of the French National Gal- lery at Versailles, to be sent to the embassy at Washington. The picture shows the notable incident in Americ- an history when Lord Cornwallis sur- rendered to General Washington. The picture is about ten feet long and six feet high, the figures being life size. scinded several contracts.

Within a week after the rains be- gin the death rate shows a large in- crease and the situation grows worse as the season advances. are enough to scatter disease. “When the war broke out there were 150,000 persons in Havana who had not sufficient means of support for one week. What must be their condition now after five weeks of the blockade? As a rule Cubans are not provident, while Spaniards had something when the war began, the (Cubans nothing.” Weeks before the blockade was es- tablished a large cigar firm commenced to feed its workmen in an immense kitchen. The tobacco supply had run out, the factories were closed, and workmen were soon almost starved. Hunger soon puts a person in a con- dition in which pestilence can readily seize him. “Among pox has killed more than disease. The people were -unable to keep clean, unable to be vaccinated, even if willing, and they died by tens df thousands. In their debilitated con- gition disease operated rapidly.

With the fleet in front and the Cuban guerrillas behind, Havana is practically be- sieged, and the same may be said of the other towns.” CABLE FLASHES. The Italian cabinet has resigned. President Faure, of France, regrets that the efforts of the powers were futile in restoring peace between America and Spain. The German Admiralty dispatch the school ship will shortly Moltke and Central America. The Spanish military agent, Senor Sandoval, is still at Berlin. It was he who effected the recent purchase in be- half of Spain of the North German line steamer Havel. The unveiling of a monument to th= late John Jacob Astor occurred at Waldorf, Germany, last week, with ap- propriate ceremonies, in the presence of the Grand Duke of Baden. The German newspapers sharply comment on the big orders given by the United States for the building of warships. The Post, the organ of Prince von Hohenlohe, the Imperial Chancellor, commenting on this mat- ter, savs: “These preparations go far bevond present needs and were intend- ed to serve other and more important ends.” The Frankfurt Zeitung says that the Spanish Minister at Copenhagen has induced the Government of Denmark to instruct the Danish officials in the Antilles to afford Spain certain facili- ties in regard to her fleet. The German papers teem with sar- castic comments on the alleged inac- tivity of the United States attribu- ting it ‘to a lack of courage’ or to “unreadiness of its forces,” especially to the “notorious condition of insub- ordination of the American militia.” Lawlessness at Key West. Ever since the police resigned at Key West three weeks ago the lawless element has been in clover. Tuesday night John J. Dorsey, a wealthy mach- inist, was murdered and robbed. body was found at Front and Duvall streets. The same night sailors Wa- mick and Eisenschnitzen were shot. The latter died some time later. Good citizens have taken up the cases and will run down the murderers. Prize Money for Sampson. Lawyer Edward E. Jones, represent- ing the Government in the matter of the prizes taken by our warships, has prepared a rough estimate of the value of some of the cargoes. He thinks the total value is $1,500,000, of which some- thing like $37,000 will go to Admiral Sampson. Each tar of the ships inter- ested in captures will receive upward of $200. IT I8 RUMORED That Spain will seize the first oppor- tunity of seeking peace that is pre- sented. That the Spanish squadron has left Santiago de Cuba in order to meet the Cadiz squadron.

It is reported that the native soldiers have agreed to go over to the insur- gents as soon as the latter make an at- tack in force on Spain’s position. The Spanish and native soldiers in Manila were in a state bordering on mutiny and the priests gave the gov- ernor $17,000,060, which was mostly used to pay off the troops. The prize money which will go to the blue jackets of Rear Admiral Dewey’ squadron as a result of the de- struction of the Spanish fleet in the bay of Manila, is estimated at $800 in gold for each man. The insurgents have been unable t do much yet, owing to the lack of arms, but they éxpect a shipment rifles in a few days. When these ar- rive they promise to drive the Span- iards into the sea. GENERAL WESLEY MERRITT General Wesley Merritt, who will shortly leave as commander of the army of occupation of the Philippine Islands, Monday announced his en- gagement to a Chicago girl. The lady is Miss Laura Williams, 20 years of age. Miss Williams is an heiress to millions. The French cruiser Bruit will soon leave for Largon, her captain reporting that he can’t get provisions in Manila. Aguinaldo, the leader of the Philip- pine insurgents, refused large bribes from the governor of Manila, who wanted him to support the Spanish arms. He, however, arrested the de- putations which made the treacherous offer. The British, German and other for- eigners have petitioned to be allowed to move to Cavite, where Dewey has prepared houses for them.

President McKinley sued a proclamation additional volunteers. The suddenness of the ‘decision is shown by the fact that Secretary Alger stated only two days ago that a call for troops was not being considered. The proclamation is as follows: ‘Whereas, An approved on the Wednesday is- calling for 75,000 act of Congress was 25th day of April, 1898, entitled, ‘An act declaring that war exists between the United States of America and the Kingdom e«f Spain,’ and “Whereas, By an act of Congress en- titled, ‘An act to provide for temporari- lv increasing the military = establish- ment of the United States in time of war and for other purposes,” approved April 22, 1893, the President is author- ized, in order to raise a volunteer army to issue his proclamation calling for volunteers to serve in the army of the United States. “Now, therefore, I, William McKin- ley.

Hew Representatives in Paris Endeavoring to Raise $50,000,000. Senor Leon y Castillo, the Spanish ambassador to France, has returned to Paris to continue his mysterious nego- tiations which are now believed to be financial rather than political. The Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail says he hears that Senor Leon y Castillo is charged " to endeavor: to float a loan of £10,000,000 (350,000,000) { on the security of the tobacco monop-= oly. ; Ja C'orrespondencia Ispana ob- serves: An unexplained feeling of des- pondency is noticeable. As no bad news has been received we can only suggest that this feeling is caused by fears of a prolongation of the war. In the chamber of deputies Senor Puigcerver, minister of replying to the criticisms of de Villaverde, Conservative, with re- policy of the government, repudiated the charge of want of foresight and asserted that Spain's finances were in a ‘satisfactory condition, assuring the payment of ail the expenses of the war.”” Senor Puig- cerver said that in view of the impos- sibility of negotiating loans - abroad there was no means of raising funds to continue the war except by an extens- ion of the Bank of Spain's note issue, which, however, did not imply a forced paper currency.’ He proposed, he said, to convert the treasury's floating deb now nearly 500,000,000 into small denomination treasury bonds. He explained the proposed conversion of the external debt, but avoided any allusion to the proposed tax on the na- tional debt. Senor Puigcerver atlirmed the necessity of a 20 per cent. increase in all taxation, including that on agri- culture. It is believed Senor present minister of public instruction and Liberal leader, will replace Senor Puigecerver, now minister finance, who has absolutely declined in the cortes to agree to an income tax, and who is consequently expected to resign. Senor Gomazo favors the proposed im- post. It is said that.the concentration of Spanish troops in the neighborhood of Gibraltar is due to an increase in the British military preparations.

Madrid correspondent of London Times commenting on ‘feeling of sadness prevailing Spain,” says: “It is less on account of ministerial dissensions, which are not really seri- ous, than on account of a fuller appre= hension of the difficulties of the situa- tion namely, that it is hopeless to ex- pect any assistance from Europe, even France and Russia being, since Mr. Chamberlain's speech, averse from do- ing anything to precipitate complica- tions. Spain now sees that she must trust to herself alone in an unequal struggle that can have only one end.” the the in The London Correspondent Captured. E. P.

He had been thrown in prison and is now in the Cabanas fortress. Alexander Gollan, the British consul at Havana, has instituted proceedings for his release. Dewey Defies the Germans. Admiral Dewey has been threatened by the German consul at Manila, who tried to land provisions from a German ship. Dewey declined to permit it, and when the consul said he would force the landing with the aid of two Ger- man cruisers, the admiral declared he would fire upon the warships if they attempted to carry out the consul's threat. The provisions have not yet been landed,
