Schley communicated at once with
Washington and the navy department.
When the collier arrives all the ships
will take coal and then proceed to sea

Cape Haytien, Republic of IIayti, May
16.-The United States torpedo boat
Porter and the storeship Supply, which
have been here waiting orders, have
sailed to join Admiral Sampson squad
ron. The squadron passed Cape Hay
tien Sunday. 1t is uncertain whether it
will turn southwark to meet the Span
ish fleet or go first to Key West.
Willemstad, Curacao, May 16.--The
Spanish cruisers Vizcaya and Marie
Teresa left Sunday evening at six
o'clock, destination unknown. They
took on here a small quantity of coal
and provisions. The government is act
ing, as requested by the United States,
in strict neutrality. No coalers are
with the feet. Nothing definite is
known about the state of the boilers
in the Spanish ships. There is report
that the boats are still in this vicinity,
but the report is not reliable, and it is
generally believed that the squadron
has left for the north.

Z. Green, of Cedar Rapids, chaplain of
the First regiment of the national

sign, returned from Dubuque Sunday
after attending the funeral of Bishop

WITHOUT A CABINET.
All Spanish Ministers Resign-it IL
Alleged New Cabinet Will Con-
tinue to Prosecute the War.

Madrid, May 16, via Paris.-All the
members of the Spanish cabinet have
resigned. Senior Sagasta will at once
communicate the situation to the queen
regent, who will entrust him with the
task of forming new ministry. 1t is
officially denied that the cabinet
changes are connected with a peace
movement. On the contrary, it is de-
clared that Premier Sagasta's ministry,
when the new cabinet is formed, will
continue to prosecute the war with the
full resources OF the country.
Senior Gullon, in reply to newspa-
per representative, said the Americans
were blameworthy for bombarding
towns without giving notice, and added
that the government would address a
note to the powers on the subject.
With reference to the speech of Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, the British sec
rotary of state for the colonies, at Bir-
mingham on Friday night, Senior Gull
lon said it had real Importance, not only
for Spain, but for the future of Eu-
rope. He declared also that Il red book
would be presented to the chamber on
Wednesday next, in which the govern
ment declares the blockade of Cuba
ineffective and expresses the hope that
the powers in Europe and America will
refuse to recognize it,"

CHEERING HIM.
His Hearers Were Duly Apprecintive
but Were Not Completely
Carried Away.

He was unquestionably an orator. But
he was not content with that gift. He de.
sired to deliver speeches which would read
well in print. As result, his periods were
polished till they lost force. They would
have made more OF an impression If he had
left few jagged edges on them. His speeches
were as famed for their soporiic qualities az
they were for their immaculate syntax, but
his wife was a confident admirer of his pow
ers as speaker. Without taking the
trouble to inform herself very thoroughly
on the topics he discussed, she accepted his
observations with implicit faith and UNI
bounded applause. She had gone to hear
him address the legislature. After it was
over he remarked:
That speech wasn't the success we hoped
il would be-"
1T was very nice speech, indeed" she
answered, encouragingly. Il enjoyed it

Washington, May 16.-Several cable

partment Sunday morning from COM

in reply. 1t was stated that the govern
ment was now in communication with
the several squadrons, and develop

looked for in the near future. In con-

tant naval movements an order has been

On Board the Flagship Brooklyn, of
the Flying Squadron, Off Charleston, S.
c., May 16.-The four vessels of war
comprising the major portion of the fly
ing squadron, Commodore Schley, an
chored off Charleston bar, nine miles
from Charleston city, at 4:30 o'clock
Sunday afternoon, after having been at
sea for three days and with no sign of
the Spanish cruisers or torpedo boats,
said to be in this locality.
The pilots were dropped at Cape
Henry on Friday night and the squad
ron proceeded to sea at ten-knot
squadron speed. AT sunset active battle
preparations were made. Ports were
closed with steel covers, battle matches
covered, the main batteries of the ships
loaded and men sent to the guns with
instructions for night watch to be
kept. With all lights extinguished the
squadron proceeded in southeasterly
direction. Towards morning several
heavy fog banks were run into. and dur
ing one of these intervals the collier
Sterling became detached. To wait for
her was partly the reason that anchor

SHOWED THEIR GRIT.
American Marines Cut Cable at Glen
fuegOs Under Heavy Fire-Two
Killed, Several Wounded.

Kew West, Fla, May 16.-Amid per.
4 feet storm of shot from Spanish rifles
| and batteries the American forces cut
the cables at Cienfuegos Wednesday
morning. Four determined boat crews
under command of Lieut.. Winslow and
Ensign Magruder, from the cruiser
Marblehead and the gunboat Nashville,
put out from the ships, the coast hav.
ling previously been shelled. The work
of the volunteers was perilous. The
cruiser Marblehead, the gunboat Nash
vile and the auxiliary cruiser Window
drew up thousand yards from shore
with their guns manned for desperate
duty.
One cable had already been cut and
the work was in progress on the other
when the Spaniards in rife pits and a
battery in an old lighthouse standing
out in the bay opened fire. The war
ships poured in thunderous volley
| their great guns belching forth massive
shells into the swarms of the enemy.
The crews of the boats calmly proceed
ed with their desperate work, notwith-
standing the fact that number had

tships through binding smoke and a
Sheavy fire. One man in Marbleheat.

Nashville, was slightly wounded by o
rifle bullet that before striking him
passed through the arm of an ensign
whose name is unknown.
Lieut.. Wnslow was shot in the hand,
making three officers wounded in all.
After the Spaniards had been driven
from the rifle pits many of them took
refuge in the lighthouse fortress, upon
which the fire OF the warships had been
conferred. A four-inch shell from the
Window tore this structure to pieces,
killing many and burying others in the
ruins.
The Spanish loss is known to have
been heavy, the warships firing hun
dreds of shot and shell right into their
midst.
Ernest Suntzenech, one of the Ameri-
can seamen wounded at Cienfuegos last
Wednesday, died at the Marine hospital
Saturday night and was buried Sunday.
He was a frst-class seaman appren-
tice and belonged to the United States
cruiser Marblehead. He was shot
through the left leg, in boat, while as
sisting in cutting the cable off Cienfue-
gos. He died after his limb had been
amputated.
Madrid, May ia dispatch from
Havana says: "Three American war
ships have rebombarded Cardenas with
