Washington, Aug. 1O.-The cruiser Gin
cinnau will sail for Newport without de-
lay TO relieve the cruiser Atlanta from the
duty of watching for Cuban flibusterng
at Key West and the Atlanta will return
to New York on being relieved.
A telegram has been received at the
navy department from Commander Crom-
well of the Atlanta, stating that the sheet
between the furnace and the tubes of one
of her eight boilers had broken, rendering
the boiler useless but this accident had
nothing to do with the orders for her re-
call. The Atlanta is undoubtedly in need
/ of repairs and she viii probably be placed
out of commission at New York and her
crew transferred to another vessel. This
cannot be stated definitely as navy de-
partment officials say that the cruiser is
now under the control of Rear Admiral
I Bunce, commanding the Atlantic station,
who can do as he likes and it is not i'm
probable that she may join the squadron
of evolution now at Newport
Why the Cincinnati went to Newport in
stead of going direct to New York from
Key West is something of a mystery. 1t
is understood that she sailed from New
York this week under sealed orders TO
join the Atlanta, but these were evidently
countermanded and the vessels future
movements placed within the discretion of
Admiral Bunce who has apparently decid-
ed that the condition of the Atlanta, and
the necessity of not keeping her officers
and men too long in the enervating sum-
mer climate Of Key West, demand her re-
lief
Newport, r. l., Aug. 1O.-The orders in
structing the Cincinnati to sail this morn
ing for Key West to relieve the Atlanta
have been rescinded and she is now un-
der orders to depart on Monday for the
same purpose All Is QulbL dAlOHS lIc

Key West Fla, Aug. 10.-The Herald
of this city published a telegram to-day
dated Havana, Aug. 10, stating that Mar
tinez Campos left Havana to-day on the
steamer Villaverde for Manzanillo. Pas
sengers by the Mascotte tonight state
that the steamer Vilaverde was in the
harbor of Havana at y o'clock to-day and
that it is rumored in the city that Maru-
nez Campos is too sick to move.
Prominent police officials in Havana
state that matters look gloomy for the
Spanish. The insurgents are gaining
ground every day. Passengers tonight
deny the report of Marcos Garcia join
ing the Insurgents and state that he is
in Havana. Prominent Cubans here do
not credit this report.
Baltimore, Aug. 1O.-An American sea-
man is responsible for the statement that
the American steamer James WOodall,
which sailed from the port on July 20,
ostensibly for Progresso, Mex, success
fully ran the blockade of revenue cutters

tion on Cuban shores in the interest of
