.|S SHE 4 PHANTOM .SHIP2 That War Vessel Said to Have
 Sailed for Cuba. MANNED BY THE PATRIOTS
She Is Expected in the Forbidden Waters To-
 day or Tomorrow.
CUBAN LEADERS PROFESS IGNORANCE
Secure Recognition of Belligerent Rights-Some South American
 State Is to Lead of.

Philadelphia, July 29.-Cuban sympa- thizers were extremely cautious today in commenting on the report that warship had been sailed by the insurgents and is now on its way to the rebellious island. The expectation is that the ship will reach the forbidden waters by tomorrow or Wednesday,. Sympathizers who were seen today professed total ignorance of the war vessels purchase and mission.
 One man, who is close to the secret leaders. declares that he does not think the ship has been sent to Cuba.
 "We would be foolish," said he, ito print in the newspapers the very facts that the Spanish government Is so anx- ious to learn. Of course it is possible that such a vessel has been sent. but l have not heard of it."
 The speaker, in common with his com patriots here, professed the utmost conil- dence in the issue of the current endeavor to free the turbulent little island from Spain's domain
 "In fact" he declared we've got Spain beaten already. Why we've killed more Spaniards than you Americans Tn your war for independence. All we need to insure complete success Is recognition of our belligerent rights. If we can cap ture and hold for forty-eight hours some of the large cities in Cuba, and be there any sort of a government, one at least, of the South American governments will acknowledge us. And as soon as one South American state recognizes our standing the entire continent will be solid for us Once possessing the bel ligerent rights we will get all the men and money we require. We are not try ing to win the great cities yet because the mountains furnish us with advanta- geous fighting grounds and every day adds to our strength. All that we can do for time is to keep up the war and make most of the advantages we have. When we are ready to extend our. ooer- ations the world will be astonished

BIT IF \ BRUTE IS TIE BARON His High-Handed Action Causes aSensation at KiSsengen. THE ARREST OF LOUIS STERN Was Piece of Official lnsoence Unwaranted

 Takes tho Matter in
 Hand.
THE ARREST OF LOUIS STERN
A LEADING MERCHANT OF NEW YORK

Kissengen, July 29.-The indignation here, particularly among the guests at the hotels, growing out of the arrest of MT. Louis Stern of New York is increas- ing, and the action of Baron Von Thuen- gen, deputy commissioner of the Spa, who caused the arrest is strongly de- nounced as a high-handed outrage.
 A committee of the friends of MT. Stern, who is vice-president of the New York chamber of commerce and member of the firm of Stern Bros, have forwarded to Munich a protest addressed to Baron Won Crailsheim, president of the Bava- rian council of ministers and minister of foreign affairs, explaining that Mr. Stern's son, whose presence at the Kur- garden led to the dispute with Baron Von Thuengen which resulted in the ar rest, was present at the previous balls in the garden dancing with his mother, when Von Thuengen rudely intervened. Americans here claim that Thuengen Is so swelled up with his little authority as to render him offensive to visitors. His action in the case of MT. Stern will result in no benefit to the resort, for sev- eral families threaten to leave the place rather than to lay themselves open to be- coming victims of the insolence Of an overbearing petty official.
 MT. Stern and his son visited the Kur- garden to listen to the music and see the speciality performances, which are the features of the place. It is against the rules of the garden for children under 15 years to be present, but as young Stern was considerabl over 15 his father never dreamed of having trouble over his presence. Shortly after they were seat ed Mir. Stern was ordered to take the boy out of the garden, which he very natur- ally refused to do, pointing that he did not come within the age limits. This ap- peared to make no difference, and the order to remove the boy was repeated. MT. Stern persisted in his refusal where upon Baron Won Thuengen, who is gen. eral superintendent of the garden, was summoned. He insolently repeated the order, and when informed of the boys age told Mir Stern that he did not believe it. MT. Stern stood tip Iii his rights, and so informed the baron, who summoned the police and had him arrested
 Through the efforts of the American consul at Bamberg MT. Stern was ere leased from jail on ball. but he was prac- tically held a prisoner at his hotel not being allowed to go out to walk or drive. Every effort is being made to right the wrong done through the officiousness of Von Thuengen, and the American gov ernment will be called upon to take such action as will result in the dismissal of Won Thuengen in order that other Ameri- can visitors to that place. of whom there are many may not suffer insult from him or be arrested for not obeying illegal or ders from his mightness.

 Any Possible Coalition.
 London, July 29.-With the exception of polls in three districts the result Of the general election is now known The dis tricts yet to be heard from are the east ern division of Donegal, the south divi- sion of Londonderry county and Orkney and Shetland. In 1892 east Donegal re- turned an anti-Parnellite by majority of 76S. the south division of Londonderry elected a liberal unionist and Shetland and Orkney returned a liberal by ma jority of 1903. The results in these dis tricts will make a slight difference in the complexion of the new house of com mons. Elections were held today in the first two mentioned districts, but the poll will not be declared until tomorrow The elections in Orkney and Shetland will not take place till August 6.
 The returns now at hand show the election of 33S conservatives, 72 unionists, 116 liberals, 69 anti-Parnellites and 12 Parnellites. Thus the conservative-li lib- eral-unionist majority. subject to the re- suit in the three districts yet to be heard from, will be 153.

 sirous of War.
 Rome, July 29.-In the course of the dis cussion of the foreign budget in the chamber of deputies today Premier Crispi declared that no statesman in Europe is desroIs of war. The government of Italy aimed at order with Italian borders, and peace abroad. In regard to Italy's in- terests in Africa he said the treaty which Bacciali consulted between Henelek and Italy, during the life of King John Of Abyssinia, was made to enable Menelek, with the support of Italy to succeed King John on the throne. The only pow CT that refused to recognize Menelek t that time was Russia, which power was now heaping favors upon the Abyssinian king. The chamber, with the exception of the extreme left. gave cordial ap- proval of Signot Crispfs utterances.
 Signor MareScalchi sought to raise an interpolation in regard to relations be- tween pr. Cornelious Herz, the Panama lobbyist, and Signor Crispi. but the latter declined to answer, in view of the at tempts which were being made to traduce him

He ad- mitted that he knew of the intention to fire the premises, but had not the strength to resist.
 Having made this admission, he was taken before the crown prosecutor, 10 whom he told his story He was then allowed to leave the country, as detain- ing him for a witness would be useless for he was fast becoming a physical and mental wreck. Some important arrests are expected in few days.
