MORE SPANISH TRICKS.

New York May sl--A dispatch to the
Herald from Key West says the fertile
Spanish brain that has been adopting
all sorts OF schemes TO entice the block
aiding squadron within range Of the Ha-
Vana batteries, has adopted a new ex-
pcdient to destroy warShipS. The latest
device is the sending adrift OF hulks made
20 resemble torpedo boats after first load
ing them with dynamite in the hope that
American ships would ram them in the
darkness, Several of these hulks have
been sent out, One was sighted on Car
denas by the Hudson, 1t was lying mo-
tionless and appeared to be a torpedo
boat, 1t had two tunnels and gun over
each how Signalling the tug Leyden,
THAT looks like one" the Hudson steam
ed down and the Leyden went along, The
tugs opened fire at 1900 yards and one OF
tho shots knocked of "A smokesjack, which
proved To be wooden structure, for it
flew into Splinters Satisfied that the
boat was a derelict, the tugs ceased firing,
\ similar hulk was sighted by the Will
mington the next day This also was
rigged up so that II would appear even at
short distance To be a torpedo boat.
The Wilmington blazed away and sunk
the hulk. As Il was sinking the forward
part of the craft was blown out and cans
containing explosives were picked up after
the wreck sank, These facts We're re-
ported to Commodore Watson.

The message was sent from a cable
station in the West Indies and lndl-
Gated that the American commander
was close on the heels Of the Span

summoned the members of the STRAIT
egy board. Knowing that Rear Ad-
miral Sampson could be depended up

sailing north. orders were quickly dis
patched to Commodore Schley at Key

OF the flying squadron's instructions
were TO sail around Cuba to the west
and to find Cervera's fleet and capture
or destroy it.
Commodore Schley was instructed to
use his utmost endeavors to prevent
the Spanish fleet from entering the
harbor of Cienfuegos or Havana
Rear Admiral Sampson and Commo-
dore Schley were informed as to each
others movements. 1t is expected
that Rear Admiral Sampson will come
up with Admiral Cervera first. 1t is
impossible to state with accuracy

oLIvET CHURCH CASE.
Pastor H. T. Shepard Explains Why He Sues His Congregation for
 His Salary,

The following letter Is from Rev. H. T. Shepard of Olivet Congregational Church, corner of Seventeenth and Noe streets in this city, who recently began suit against the directors of that institution:
 To the Editor of The Call During 1897 the pastor was criticized for being wonderfully pa- tient and he held the church to no fixed sal ary and helped them pay street assessments of about s700; also to pay delinquent taxes and various small debts. The church Is in debt to three pastors. and the present suit is brought because of failure since January 1898, to pay the lowest living salary which was pledged by both directors and church, S65 per month, to the present pastor, that he might meet his expenses, while paying past debts of the church, contracted before he came
 The church of 113 members is confessedly able to pay this and the suit Is brought, not against the faithful treasurer of the corpora tion against any loyal members or directors. but only through them officers of the cor poration, who are expected to require deln- quent members to do their part with pastor and loyal members to support the church.
 At the beginning of the present year the pas- tor rendered his resignation, feeling that he had made all the sacrifice that was good for the inexcusabe delinquents, and consented to withdraw it only upon the unanimous vote of the church and directors and also upon con- tract to pay S65 per month In the future, just two-thirds of the salary of the two former pastors.
