FIRST SPIN ON THE THAMES.
Yale Crew Sent Up the River In the
Evening.

Gales Ferry, New London, June g.
The Yale crew took its first spin on
the Thames shortly after o'clock with
Green as coxswain. The crew pulled
out to the vicinity of the Black buoy
and maneuvered there for a period
and at 7:15 were sent UP the river on
the west side and wound up with a
short squirt at speed. The smoothness
with which the men worked was no.
ticeable, the only apparent difficulty
being a slight hang before taking the
water, though the pull and recover is
made without a hitch. The ease with
which the men work promises the most
gratifying results. Manager Colder of
the Harvard crew arrived to-day with
cooks and others preparatory to the
arrival of the Harvard crew at their
quarters Wednesday, when everything
will be in readiness.

destroyer on Friday night has not been
absolutely confirmed. At 10 o'clock Fri
day night the cruiser New Orleans dis
covered what appeared to be a torpedo
boat destroyer close to the shore and
signalled the flagship New York that
it was evident night torpedo attack
was to be made. Both the New York
and the New Orleans opened fire, and
their shells burst around the dark OBJ

the Massachusetts (not the Oregon, as
first reported) was fired and exploded,
and the searchlights Of the vessels were

1t is believed that she was sunk.
The first assumption was that the
vessel was the Terror, but it is believ-
ed now that it was the Pluton or the
Furor, as the Terror Is not understood
to have been at Santiago. On Satur-
| day two torpedoes were found floating

along the shore was the real object of

dead bodies have been noticed, and it

rimac when Lieutenant Hobson sank
her, which subsequently floated outside

turned out that the Spaniards were not
so engaged and the fleet withdrew. Adj
miral Sampson has given orders that
Ell Moro, where the heroes of the Mer-

in the firing. Admiral Cervera's polite
assurances were accompanied by the
statement that Lieutenant Hobson and

DUBos AND cARKANzo ARRESTED.
Spanish Diplomats and Spies Made De-
PENDANTS In Civil suit.


PENDANTS I'm Civil suit
Montreal, June 6.-Lieutenant Car
rama and Senior Dubosc were arrested
this afternoon on a capias In which it
is alleged that they were about to leave
the country. The capias was taken out
in accordance with a suit for $25, 900
entered by Detective Kellert. The pris-
oners were taken before Judge Matthew,
who released them in $1,000 bail, which
was furnished. The writ of capias Is
returnable in six days and no action
can be taken until the end of that time
unless the prisoners consent to a speedy
hearing. In the meantime a new ele-
ment is introduced into the case. The
bodies of Carranza and Dubosc are the
property of Detective Kellert until his
claim is satisfied or the capias is dis
solved. The United States authorities
are desirous of having Carranza and
Dubosc leave Canada, which the two
Spaniards cannot do without forfeiting
their bail. Dubosc and Carranza might
jump their bail, but their present desire
is to remain in Canada.
Magistrate Lafontaine to-day honor
ably discharged Chief Kellert of the
Metropolitan Detective agency from
custody on the charge of stealing the
now famous letter from Lieutenant
Carranza. Immediately afterwards
Kellert's lawyer took steps to take out
a suit for $4,000 jointly and severally
against Seniors Dubosc and Carranza
for false arrest. A capias will be asked
for to prevent them from leaving the
country The money they have in the
Bank of Montreal will be garnisheed,
and leave will be asked to seize all
their personal property before judg-
ment, so as to have guarantee on their
part for costs.

themselves from allegiance from the
mother country and said to the world
that they had cast off their swaddling
clothes and were now able to walk
alone. To speak with absolute truth,
all the delegates did not favor this
progressive step. Some opposed it on
the ground that it was premature.
Nevertheless the resolution over

stated, by the majority of one. Thir-
