FRANCE IS POUNDING IRON

Paris, April 29.-The Aurora announces
today that extraordinary activity prevails
in naval and military circles throughout
France. At Brest there is much comment
on the fact that work at the arsenal con-
tinues until late hour every night and
the workmen are employed all day Sun
days. Large orders for war materials of
all sorts havt been placed and all the
coast batteries have been supplied with
provisions and munitions sufficient for
several months.
II is also announced that fresh batter
les have been erected at Ushant, that all
the French warships recently modified
are kept in fighting trim and ready for
sea at a moments notice and that the
reserves have been notified to expect a
call for active service.

CRANK. But No SPY
Sensational Story From the
Fleet Is Denied.
SPANISH-S0UNDING NAME
together With Queer Antics
Get a Seamen In Trouble,
SPANISH SOUNDING NAME

Key West, Fla, April 2s-3 p. m.-There
sational reports cabled from here to the
effect that a case of treason has been dis
covered on board the Monitor Puritan.
The rumors arose from the strange ac-
tons Of a fireman, with Spanish-sound-
ing name now under restraint on the
warshIp because Of his eccentrtcities. The
officers of the Puritan declare that there
was no thought of trying the man by
court martial, and that all the talk about
treason is absurd.
1t appears that few days ago the man
in question was seen in one Of the Mon
TORS turrets and the man who saw him
reported that he had his hand on the lock
of the magazine, whereupOn the first man
was placed under restraint. The crew
Of the monitor become excited and de-
clared there was a Spanish spy on board.
Through this the extravagant stories were
concocted. The officers of the Puritan
believe the man, who Is fireman, Is
Cuban, and they assert positively that he
has never given evidence Of any sort OF
sympathy with Spain, but they add, on
the contrary, that when the Puritan was
off Matanzas the man was frequently
heard to say he would like TO get ashore
and join the insurgents.
The action Of the officers of the monitor
in placing the man under restraint were
guided solely by the danger of allowing an
unevenly balanced man TO be al large.
Key West, April ga picturesque story
appeared today that a Spaniard was IN
the crew of the monitor and had been de-
tected with a bunch Of skeleton keys try
ing to pick the lock of one of the powder
magazines with intent to blow up the ship.
This was industrously spread by the Pu-
ritan's patriotic crew, who knew only
few Of the facts, and 1t, too was yum
MARTY nipped in the bud by the highest
officers of the ship. According to them,
the story arose from the fact that in the
Puritan's crew is a Spaniard or Cuban,
by name Yglesias, eccentric and a trihe
unbalanced, but who was never suspected
Of anything but the hearuest loyalty TO
the United States in whose navy he has
been for seven years. He was seen the
other day in one of the turrets by fellow
seaman, who reported an attempt TO break
open the magazine door, adding that cot
ton waste and rockets had been found on
him. The latter was Immediately put un-
der restraint and a court of inquiry has
been appointed to make an investigation.
No court martial has been ordered and
while Captain Harrington refuses to dis
cuss the affair pro or con. other high Off
Gals say a reasonable Interpretation of
the incident is preposterous.

SPAIN CAN GET NO COAL

New York, April pa dispatch TO the
Herald from Cadiz says: THE Spanish
government little while ago sent to Glib
raltar to buy up all possible coal. This
amounted from three firms TO about 5000
tons, coal being very scarce owing to the
Welsh strike. The price was AZ shillings
instead Of, as usual, % shillings.
A dispatch to the Herald from Tangfer
says: "The Spanish government has pur-
chased 500 tons of coal here from a French
company. 1t was all that could be got.
The English are short of coal for the ar
rival of the channel fleet on Monday.
Owing to the strike they could only man
