Dependency Prevails Among OflciaIs mt
Madrid-An Oficial Announcement that
Spain Has No Credit Abroad.
Madrid, May GA mysterious Sic
lence reigns in official circles. The
government discloses nothing from the
seat of war. La Correspondence Es-
pana observes: IAN unexplained feel
ing of dependency is noticeable. AS
no bad news has been received, we can
only suggest that this feeling is caused
by fears of a prolongation of the war;"
In the chamber of deputies yesterday
Senor Puigcerver, minister of finance,
replying to the criticisms of Marquis
de Villaverde, conservative, with re-
spect to the financial policy of the
government, repudiated the charge of
want of foresight and asserted that
Spain's finances were in satisfactory
condition, assuring the payment of all
the expenses of the war"
Senior Puigcerver said that in view
of the impossibility of negotiating
loans abroad there was no means of
raising funds to continue the war ex-
cept by an extension of the Bank of
Spain's note issue, which, however, did
not imply forced paper currency. He
proposed to convert the treasury's
floating debt, now nearly 800, 900, 900
pesetas, into small denomination treas
ury bonds. He explained the proposed
conversion of the external debt, but
avoided any allusion to the proposed
tax on the national debt. Senior PUG
cerver affirmed the necessity of 90
per cent. increase in all taxation, in
Guiding that on agriculture.

Threw or tho Mask.

st. Pierre, Martinique, May 25.-The
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror
is being coaled by the Spanish steamer
Alicante. The Alicante lies at the
mouth of Fort de France harbor. 1t
was all along supposed that she was a
hospital ship, but there is now no
doubt that she carries cargo of coal
for the Spanish warships. Her preten-
sions to be a hospital ship were blind.
The United States consul has cautioned
the French officials of the port not to
allow the Terror to take coal in excess
of the quantity necessary to carry the
Terror to the nearest Spanish port.

Insurgents are Trying to Cut on the Food
Supply of tho City of Santiago de Cuba
A Spanish Governors Boast.
Kingston, May 20.-Refugees who ar
rived here Thursday from Santiago de
Cuba on board the steamer Adula say
the insurgent commanders in eastern
Cuba are moving nearer and nearer to
Santiago. 1t appears that Gen. Min
dez, by order of Gen. Garcia, has
brought insurgent forces from the ex-
treme east to the neighborhood of Cal
manero, on the south coast, and Gen.
Castillo, of the insurgent army, has
shifted his command to within 25
miles of Santiago. Small insurgent
bands engage in nightly raids past
the outlying garrisoned towns to with
in about six miles of the city of Santi-
ago. They retire without pursuit after
their forays.
The design is to cut off the meat,
vegetable and fruit supply of the city
and produce the effects of a siege. In
the meantime the prices of provisions
at Santiago are even less than they
were three weeks ago, during the first
panic following the outbreak of hostil
tiles between the United States anG
Spain, and the expectation of being
bloclsaded. Small cargos of flour, gro
ceries and canned goods have been re
ceived by schooners from Jamaica ant
Haiti and the markets of Santiago arr
full of fish.
Senor Enrique Capriles, governor o
Santiago, in an interview printed il
La Bandera Espanola, is quoted as say
ing: "Spain has 800, 900 regular troop
in Cuba and we fight on our soil. Thos
of us who are from Spain are accli
mated and we are entrenched. There

ers-yes, to three invaders. We hea
America proposes to assail us with 100,
900 men. Some reports say $50, 900 mel

Carnegie and Bethlehem Companies Bid
on Supplying Armor Plate for Three Bat
tleships.
Washington, May %. - Bids were
opened Tuesday for supplying the
armor for three attleships-Illinois,
Alabama and Wisconsin--now in course
works, Newport News and Cramps
This is the second time that the gov
ernment has endeavored to secure bids
for supplying the armor for these
ships. The first effort, made about a
year ago, was unsuccessful because
congress had made the minimum cost
per ton for the armor at a figure below
the cost of production. The present
naval appropriation bill having in
creased the price allowed to $500 per
ton, yesterdays effort was successful.
For the Illinois the two armor COM
panies--Bethlehem and Carnegie-di-
vided their bids, one taking the lighter
armor and the other the heavier. For
the Alabama the bethlehem Co. bid ST.
O22, ,504, while the Carnegie Co. did not
bid. For the Wisconsin, the Carnegie
Co. bid 81, ,023, 504. The rate in each
case was $500 per ton for bolts and arm
or, the maximum amount allowed by
congress- The Bethlehem Co. under
takes to begin deliveries of the armor
within seven months after contract and
to supply 500 tons monthly. The Car
| negie Co. will begin December l next
and supply the same amount monthly.

CHAPTER XVII.
IN THE WOOD.

| Jeanne was glad when they at last
reached the hotel of the Fleur de Lys.
She saw that the sound of their arrival
| had drawn to the door an old, respect
| ably-clad woman, evidently the host
ess, and as evidently a widow. She
was all courtesy and smiling welcome
to the lady and her woman, but when
Raoul asked for lodging for himself
and his men she told him decidedly
| that she could not give it them; she
| could barely find chambers for the lady
| and her womenfolk. Moreover, men
! will not please themselves in my quiet
house" she said. The village Is bare
ly. half a mile away; the landlord at
| the Rouge Dragon will be more to
your mind, my man; but my house is
quieter for lady"
| And Raoul, remembering that his
master had especially cautioned him to
lodge the Countess as privately as DOS
sible, was obliged, after some oaths and
fierce grumblings, to ride on to the
Rouge Dragon, whence he sent word
| to the lady that he would be near al
hand to receive her commands.
The weather was singularly cold for
the time Of year, and though Jeanne
was hardy Breton girl, she felt the
keen east wind which drove in through
the ill-fitting easement of her chamber.
| SO far south she had expected a warm
er climate, and she saw by the SILVER
ing ways of her old hostess that the
| temperature was unusual The Count
ess had reached the Fleur de Lys two
days ago; it stood some way from the
! road, had stretch of waite land before
It, and wood on some rising ground
behind.
Jeanne had tried to talk to the old
frall-looking hostess, but she only an.
sWered IN monosyllables, and quickly
found some excuse for leaving the
lady.
Anne and Mathurine complained that
the big, coarse-featured woman-ser-
want, Marietta, might as well be a
dumb brute, for she could not under
stand what they said. and her patois
was to them unintelligible An old
man and couple of lads made I'D the
silent household; so silent was it that
at the end of these two days Jeanne
told herself she could not bear Il much
longer; it seemed as though mistress
and servants held some weighty Sc
cret in their keeping, which lack of
silence would betray.
She wished ardently that Laval
would return; her anger at his sudden
departure had soon fed, she thought 1t
was probable that sudden summons
had called him to Lyons. More than
once since they left Moulins she had
seen a man ride up to the Count, and
after few minutes talk ride away
again. Her woman Anne had been,
and was still, dull and listless; she
was, Jeanne thought. either fretting
after Gaspard or sulky at her mis-
tress's disapproval of her behavior.
Mathurine was by nature heavy and
dull-witted; she had none OF Anne's
gaiety, and sharp wittedness. Life
was duller than Jeanne had ever
known It, and on the afternoon OF the
third day she told hel maids she would

DON'T WORRY ABOUT SANTIAGO.

Santiago could be captured within a
day or two by the combined efforts of the
army and fleet, but it would involve a
very heavy and entirely needless sacri-
flee and possibly the loss Of one or
more of our great battleships.
We do not doubt that Admiral Sampson
could force his way into the harbor and
thus hasten the capitulation of Santiag go,
but 1t would be unreasonable to expect
such an achievement without the loss of
one or more OF his best vessels, and the
whole city of Santiago and all the Span
ish troops in 1t are not to-day worth the
sacrifice of one of our battleships

south coast Of Cuba the | blockading
squadron On this side of the island has
not been idle. On Wednesday the
Maple was cruising of Cardenas when
she sighted large body of men on

from distance CT about four thousand
yards and scattered the supposed
Spaniards.
Yesterday afternoon the Maple held
up a British tramp steamer, the Vic

New York, with cargo of hemp. She
was caught about forty miles off Ha-
