NAVAL VESSELS IN THE WEST INDIES -
1t has been stated from time to time that
various vessels of war had been ordered
to the Vest India Squadron, and it is
now known that the Navy Department has
been concentrating large Aeeti in Cuban
waters and in the immdieate vicinity Of
Cuba. Vessels are still being fitted out to
be sent down. The iron clad Dictator,
one of the largest in the service, left on
Saturday. The Swatara, which has just
been fitted ont, went into commission
Saturday she will first make trial trip
to Aspinwall, and then 60 to Tuba. The
Nantucket has also been ordered to the
West Indies, together with another iron-
clad.
We have now enough ron>clads in the
neighborhood of Cuba to blow the whole
Spanish navy out of water if it was con-
centrated there. The object of the Ad-
minstration is to have a large force on
the West India STATEN while trouble ex-
lists between Spain and Cuba, so that
should any emergency arise whereby our
Government might become involved, we
could make short work of the Spanish
navy.
Senior Lemus, Cuban Envoy, with other
members of the Junta, are at Washing
ton, and are making desperate efforts to
get our Government to take immediate
action The subject has received much
attention of late from members of the
Administration, and it will probably be
considered in Cabinet on Saturday

poison. administered to counterfeit Its effect She,
however, grew worse ana died soon afterward.
The man, known only as 'John," IN whose place
the death occurred, Tor some cause declined giving
Information TO the police who eventually heard OF
It through another source. In addition to this fact
rumor has circulated that there were marks OF vio-
ence on the wrists and ankles OF deceased though
they had been tied with cords, which directed
pcion against John, consequently he was escorted
TO the Prince street police station.
DR.. Brown, thinking 1t clear case OF alcoholism,
gave certificate TO that eject, and the remains
were removed to the M0rgue, where Coroner
SchirmeI will hold an Investigation. Dr. Cushman,
