| Special From Staff Correspondent
KEY WEST, Fla, May 19.-The action Of
the United States in giving permission to
subjects Of European powers to go to Cuba
as passengers on the German steamer Po-
laria is still the subject of adverse COM
ment here. Mr.. knight, who is British
subject and the correspondent Of the Lon
don Times, has this permission. Having
been able to make a convenience Of an
American warship and flag of truce in
his first and unsuccessful attempt to land
Mr.. Knight is unable to see anything irreg-
ular In this proceeding. He is persona gra-
ia to Madrid government and once in Ha-
vana will be all right
Mr.. Gustavus Book. German subject,
and a leading tobacco merchant. is also
making efforts to go as passenger. He
has lived in Havana thirty years, and has
been specially favored by both Weyler and
Blanco because of his pro-Spanish leanings
He has extensive business interests which
would make it convenient for him to be In
Havana. Four five other persons are
making strenuous efforts to secure permits.
So long as one individual is allowed to go
or the vessel itself is permitted to 60 the
number Of individuals who are passengers
or form the crew Is not important. Infor-
nation which Blanco ard the. Spanish au-
thorities want will be within their reach,
md they will have their own methods of
getting it. PEPPER.

CHARLESTON RETURNS TO PORT.
Slight Accident to the Cruisers Con-
densers Causes Delay.

VALLEJO, Cal, May 19.-The cruiser
Charleston, that sailed yesterday for Ma
Mia with ammunition and supplies for Ad-
nliral Dewey. is back at her berth at Mare
Island navy yard, with her condensers out
of order. The cruiser steamed about the
bay all day yesterday, out of sight of San
Francisco while her compasses were being
adjusted and cargo trimmed. When every
thing was In readiness for a start on the
long journey the condensers were found to
be cut of order. The accident was trivial.
but Captain Glass concluded that it would
be better TO return to the navy yard and
secure the benefit of the facilities there
than 10 repair the damages at sea. The
Charleston Will make another start within
the next two days.

Tracey, Company H, 9th Regiment. who
was on guard at the arsenal last night. was
overpowered by a stranger. who appeared
suddenly and seized him before the guard

and the man fled.
Later the same man appeared again. and
on being seen was promptly pursued. but
he eluded the soldiers and was not seen
afterward. The motive for the attack on
the guard is not known. but grave suspi-
cions are held. as it was the arsenal sentry
who was the victim. Colonel Began has or

Entire Line Engaged.

when the Iowa turned to go back TO
the starting point the entire line was en-
gagged. The New York, stately, standing
high out of the water and showing ali her
gracefulness. but making an easy target,
slowly ran the gantlet of two miles, the
Terrier and Amphitrite sticking up like
ammunition boxes. The Detroit and Mont
gomery were little spitfires, and all their
starboard sides We're a thick mass Of vel
low smoke.
1T was quite easy 10 see the shells turn
ing over and over and dropping like wound
ed birds into the sea. Scarcely thirty sec
onds elapsed but the shrek of a passing
shell was heard. Some of them made weird
tunes. changing key u,ey lost their We
locity Most of them were fired at a very
high trajectory, the enemy apparently us
ing their rifles as mortars. Jets of water
rising in all directions showed how good Or
generally, how bad had been the aim. tn sse
tunes of the shells after a while became
less startling and the men did not dodge
unless some one shouted Lookout or Get
under cover But the first shrieking of big
shells overhead is liable to make even the
bravest man inclined to get his head nearer
his feet and keep 1t in that position until
water let tells him that the danger is
past.
THE shot that fell on board the Iowa, in
jLring three men, was a ten-inch Arm
strcng shell manufactured in 1896. 1t was
a wonder no mere damage was done.
''The shot which hit thu New York was
an eight-inch shell. 1t struck the ship ex-
actly in the same place where the Iowa
was struck. coming in at the port quarter
and exploding on the iron stanchion of the
superstructure. 1t then flew into thous-
and pieces.

THE water spurted few hundred yards
from the Iowa, and every one was glad be-
cause every one knew the enemy was re-
turning the fire. Before that the blue
Jackets had been glum. By this time the
smoke had begun to hang heavily and the
Iowa was moist and covered with saltpetre.
Marine glasses had to be wiped every few
minutes. The mems faces were grimy and
their mouths were bitter from the salpetre.
When the big guns in the turret were fired
Il seemed as if the ship was almost drawn
from the water in a straining effort to
follow the projectile3 they whizzed
shorewards. Behind, the Indiana's port
side looked like a huge fort, her own smoke
completely hiding her starboard side.
