SAFE AT SANTIAGO.I
ARMADA EvADES SAMPSON AND
REACHES PORT.
Madrid Report Says Spanish Ships
Have Reached Harbor on South Coast
of Cuba-Admira1 Sampson Joins
Schley and His Flying Squadron.
Now for a Battle.

A report Friday from Santiago de Cuba
by the way of Madrid said that the Span
ish feet has reached that port in safety.
While this news might have been given
out for the purpose of confusing, it agreed
with another dispatch from Kingston,
Jamaica, stating that feet of warships
had been seen from Morant Point, on the
east extremity of the island, passing north
toward Santiago de Cuba.
Cervera could have but two purposes in
putting into Santiago de Cuba. The first
would be to get coal, of which Spain may
have a supply there. The second, to re-
lieve the Spanish garrison Of 10000
troops stationed there, who have been
practically cut off from Blanco and from
all supplies since the blockade Of Cienfue-
gos. These troops were dependent on the
coasting feet for their supplies, as there
is no railroad connection between Santl-
ago and Havana, and the country be-
tween is held by the insurgents. 1t would
be natural move of the Spanish admiral
to try to relieve this garrison and supply
it, or remove the troops, if he considered
that could be done without meeting the
American feet, for there has been no
blockade at Santiago.
Sampson at Key West.
Rear Admiral Sampson, with the d1vls-
ion of the North Atlantic squadron under
his command which attacked San Juan,
Porto Rico returned to Key West, where
he effected a junction with the flying
squadron. He has under his orders the
battleships Iowa, Indiana and Massachu-
setts, second-class battleship Texas and
armored cruisers Brooklyn and New York,
which makes him superior by two arnor-
clads to the Spanish fleet.

Tea the Curse of Thibst.

The Times OF India declares that tea
drinking is the curse Of Thibet. THE
people" it says, have such an insa-
table craving for the beverage that
they will sell their houses, their focks,
their very children, to procure it. II

fleet. About the middle of April, says a
Manila report, Spanish troops met no op-
position on landing, the rebels having alb
seconded before shot was fired, taking
with them, it is said, 100000 in cash.
About thirty natives were killed in the
bombarlnnent, but no European casual
ties are reported. Cebu, which ranks
third in the cities in the Philippines, was
wrecked by the bombar rdment A massa-
ere of rebels by the Spanish also preceded
Admiral Dewey's arrival.

American Seamen Victims to Treach-
cry of Philippine Insurgents.
Advices from Manila by way of Hong
Kong say that the insurgents are mutual
ly at loggerheads. Some are eager to be
freed from Spanish rule, while others re-
sent the appearance of the Americans. 1t
is reported that party of rebels attacked
the Americans near Cavite, killing some
of them and driving the others out of the
villages. They removed the American
flag and replaced it with the Spanish. Ac
cording to report the insurgent leaders
who accompanied Admiral Dewey refus-
ed to disembark, apparently fearing that
they would be repudiated. Another re-
port says that some Spaniards protesting
to be insurgents fraterniZed with the
Americans near Cavite and then massa-
cred them.

Capt. Clark expressed his confidence in
being able to hold his own single-handed
with the Oregon against all the Spanish
cruisers. The only apprehension he felt
was as to the torpedo boats under the
Spanish admirars command Notwith-
standing Capt. Cark's assurances, the
navy department continued to feel that a
meeting between the Spanish and
the American battleship on such unequal
terms was far from desirable, and might
bring most serious results. For this rea-

Captain Fulcher, which sailed from Lica-

Spain, with cargo of 1900 tons of sui

safely in port at New York. Sulphur, be-
cause of it's use in the manufacture of
explosives, is one Of the articles declared
by Spain to be contraband of war, and
the Truros cargo was liable to seizure
by any Spanish cruiser or privateer hover

The speech made by Mr.. Joseph Cham.

Birmingham Friday night, has produced
very unfavorable comment in Madrid
His references to Spain have created a
bad impression. Prime Minister Sagasta
and Senor Gullon, minister Of foreign af-
fairs, held conference on the subject,
after which Senior Sagasta said: eff we
had said what Mr.. Chamberlain said Eu-
rope would have regarded us as reckless -

SPANISH CABINET QUITS.
Members of the Sagasta Ministry All
Resign.

Members of the Saeasta Ministry All
Resign.
All the members Of the Spanish cabinet
have resigned. The liberal cabinet un-
der Sagasta was formed shortly after the
death of Canovas Del Castillo, who was
assassinated Aug. s, 1897, by an Italian
anarchist named Coli. Gen. Azcarraga,
the then minister of war, was first ap-
pointed president of the council and for
time the cabinet remained unchanged.
But Sept. 90 it resigned and Sagasta as
sumed Office Oct. 4, confronted by the
troubles in Cuba and in the Philippine
Islands.
The minister of marine, Admiral Ber-
mejo; the minister of war, Gen. COrrea,
and especially the minister for the colo
nies were repeatedly attacked in parlia-
ment and out Of it and rumors Of resigna-
tions rendered OR to be rendered were in
dustriously circulated. The difficulty, it
appears, is to find men who are willing
to assume office under the conditions
which now prevail in Spain. An empty
treasury, internal disorders and the loss
of the Philippine Islands, Cuba and Porto
Rico are not the only problems confront
ing Spanish ministers, and it is not as
tonishing that under the circumstances a
military dictatorship under possibly Mar
shal Martinez Campos has been discussed.
The new Spanish cabinet has been form
ed as follows.
