BADGER CAPTURES THREE.
Spanish Vessels Flying Red Cross Flag
Had 400 Soldiers Aboard.

Key West, Fla, Aug. 4.-No confir-
nation has been received of the re-
port that Nuevitas, the chief port of the
province Of Puerto Principe, would be
evacuated by the Spaniards after the
bombardment by American warships.
The auxiliary cruiser Badger captured
three prizes of Nuevitas on July 20
and left with them that day for Tor
tugas arriving here this morning.
Captain Snow said that at the time Of
his departure all but about 1900 Span
ish troops had left the city and a gen.
eral evacuation was expected, nut that
to all intents and purposes the place
was still held by the enemy and there
had been nothing in the nature of an
attack. The Badgers prizes were a
tug, a %brigantine and a barge, the last
two in tow. All were flying the Spanish
and Red Cross flags. A couple Of shots
from q six-pounder was fired in their
direction and they promptly surren-
dered. On the prizes were about 400
Spanish soldiers, who 1t is said, had
been ordered to Havana by General Sal.
cho. At Nuevitas the Badger also took
aboard eight deserters from the Span
ish army. In Nuevitas, and in fact

HAWAIIAN COMMISSION
Cullom, Morgan and Hit Hold Inform
al Meetings in Chicago. 6

Chicago, Aug. 4.-The Hawaiian
commission, composed of Senator Gull
lom Of Illinois, Senator Morgan of Ala
bama and Representative Hit of Hi
nois, met here this morning and held
informal talks with a number of bust
ness men. They were given a luncheon
by Hon. Alexander H. Revell, president
Of the Union League club, where they
met a number of prominent Chicago
ans. There were 40 guests, among
whom were Comptrolled Dawes, ex-Sen-
ator Raglan of Texas, William Penn
Nixon, II. II. Kohlsaat, General Nc
Nulta and DR.. VIM. r. Harper. Al
ter coffee the members Of the commiss-
sion and Others made brief speeches.
Senator Morgan said the annexation
Of Hawaii would result in the con-
struction Of the Nicaraguan canal(ap-
p%lause). Cuba was free, Porto Rico
belonged to the United States, Hawaii
was annexed and the canal was una
voidable. Our flag has been raised in
the Philippines and no man in America
would permit it to be hauled down.
(Applause.) Not only would the Near
aguan canal be constructed, but there
would be a ship canal connecting Lake
Michigan, the Mississippi and the Gulf
OF Mexico and one between New York
and Albemarle sound. He was of the
firm belief that in the next century the
United States would be, by common
consent, the leader of the nations of the
earth.
Senator Cullom said the commission
would look at the harbor of Hawaii and
see what ought to be done to make it
a great harbor. He also said the Mic
araguan canal would be built. Repre-
sentative HIT also spoke of the GER
tainty of the Nicaraguan canal as one
of the results of the war as was the
cable to Hawaii. The following reso-
luton offered by Hon. George R. Peck
was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we rejoice in the
assured prospect of an early and honor
able peace and in the unparalleled tri-
umphs Of our brave sailors and soldiers
in the existing war. We hereby ex-
press our hearty admiration for and
confidence in the wise, patriotic and
able administration Of President Nc
Kinley. He has been equal to every
need and he has shown the entire
world how worthy he is to lead a great
people in a great cause.
The commission left this evening for
San Francisco, whence they will sail
on the 10th instant for Hawaii.

ALGER AND
Some Spicy Telegraphic Correspon-
dence Given to the Public.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 4.-The fol-
correspondence passed between
Colonel Roosevelt and Secretary AL
ger:
Santiago, July %. 1S9S.-My Dear
Mr.. Secretary. l I'M writing with the
knowledge and approval OF General
Wheeler. We earnestly hope that you
will send us most of the regulars, and
at any rate, the cavalry division, in
Guiding the rough riders, who are as
good as any regulars, and three times
as good as any state troops, to Porto
Rico. There are 1900 effective men in
this division; If those who were left
behind were Joined to them, we could
land at Porto Rico, in this cavalry di-
vision, close to 1000 men, who would
be worth easily 10000 OF the national
guards armed with black powder,
Springfield or other Archaic weapons.
Very respectfully,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
The following reply was cabled to
Colonel Roosevelt, today:
Your letter of the 23d received. The
regular army, volunteer army and
rough riders have done we'll. but 1 sug-
gest, unless you want to spoil the glory
of your victory, you make no invidious
comparisons. The rough riders are no
better than other volunteers. They
had an advantage in their arms, for
which they ought to be very grateful.

Secretary of War"

MART1NELLI SAYS LITTLE
But Thinks Catholic Islands Will Fare
Well.

Boston, Aug. 4.-Most Rev. Sebastian
Martinelli, papal delegate in the Tn
tied States, when asked what would he
the effect CT the annexation of Porto
Rico to the United States. answered.
Il am not a politician and do not know
enough about the place to tell whether
1t will be a benefit to this country to
own 1t. OF not As far as the Interest of
the Porto Rfcans is concerned, there
is no doubt that they will profit by the
change"
will the church suffer in any way
from the political changes that are
likely to take place in the Philippines
and other Spanish islands,"
II do not think that anyone who
knows the American people would for a
moment entertain a thought that the
church will be in any way interfrred
with, wherever the United States by
conquest, or purchase, acquires posses
sion. The change of government will
take place, l suppose; but | expect to
see everything else go on as it has in
the past. Priests as well as people will
be as well treated as they are here in
the United States and the church will
go on doing the good work she has done
in the past. perhaps with a little more
freedom"

CANUCKs TO SLAUGHTER SEAL.
A Great Raid Planned on the Alaska
Rookeries.

Ounalaska, July rs, via Victoria, B.
C., Aug. 4.-Well founded reports are
In circulation that a concerted attempt
will be made next month by a fleet of
Canadian sealers to raid the rookeries
on the Islands OF St. Paul and St.
George. There is but one government
vessel, the gunboat Wheeling, to guard
Boring sea against pelagic ~sealers, and
the department has ordered her to Wis
1t the various fish canneries along the
Alaska and see that the fishing
laws are not violated. Around Ounalas-
ka and Dutch harbor, where the larger
portion OF the sealing fleet rendezvous
before the season opens, are over a
score of vessels and it seems to be an
open secret that in the event Of the
animals being scarce in the present
zone allowed for sealing purposes, the
captains contemplate raiding the rock
, cries. The absence OF revenue cutters,
they declare, seems to imply a tacit in
vftation to invade the sea and kill seals
wherever they may be found.
Both st. Paul and St. George islands
have a Jew government officers, ~lessees,
employees and a couple Of hundred ma
tives. But this force is inadequate to
frnstrate a well-planned raid. The Off
GERS themselves expect the laws will be
