EVIDENTLY A SPY.
Strong Evidence Against the Span
lard Arrested at Kew West.

Key West, Fla, May 25.-The inves-
tigation of the case of the suspected
Spanish spy, Romigo Zapatero Jiminez,
d passenger on the steamer Panama,
was continued today by the federal au-
thoritieS and brought out some facts.
A search of Jiminez' effects revealed a
cipher letter, which turned out to be the
key to SO charts of the Atlantic coast,
from Maine to Florida, particular mi
nuteness being shown as to the vicin-
ity of Norfolk, New York, Boston and
Providence harbors, and the ia,ets
around Tampa. All the Florida keys
and the Tortugas are also explained in
detail
A rigorous search failed to locate the
charts.
Jiminez swears that he was an engi-
neer in the. Spanish navy in Cuban
waters, but ran away in 1890, since
which time he has lived in New York,
at II Fourth avenue. An old sword and
a pair of new epaulets found in his
trunk, he said, were part of his equip
ment.
Passengers On the Panama say they
recognize him as lieutenant of the
Spanish navy.
New York. May 25.-A special from

at Washington.
New York, May 25.-RoInigo Zapatero
Jiminez, the man who was. arrested at
Key West as a spy, and who was re-
ported to be Lieutenant 5obral, gave
No. II Fourth avenue, New York, as
his address. This is a four-story build
ing. Living on the top floor is B. Ba-
fart. 1t was with this man that the
supposed spy lived. Bafart said tonight
that he knew Jiminez, and that the lat
ter had lived in one of his rooms for
eight months. Bafart said Jiminez was
a Spaniard: that his occupation was
that of a consulting engineer. He says
JimineZ first came to this country as
an agent of the Spanish government to
examine the Zalinski gun, and that he
reported favorably to his government
on the invention. For some reason or
other he did not return home, and not
long after fell into disfavor with his
government. Bafart says Jiminez had
at one time been an officer in the
Spanish navy.

STRENGTH OF THE ARMY.
Adjutant General Corbin has pre-
pared a statement showing the strength
of the military forces Of the United
States when organized in accordance
with the plans now under way:
Regular army $4,000 men; volunteers
from states (hrst calD $4,000 men;
three cavalry regiments at large, 5000
men; ten infantry regiments United
States volunteers (immunes) 10000; en-
gineers at large, $500; volunteers called
for today, 5000. This makes a total of
27S.50O men.
STATES IN DEFAULT.
One hundred and twelve thousand
men have now been mustered into the
volunteer army of the United States
and the official reports show that the
greater number of these are ready TO
move TO the frant. Two-thirds of the
musters and should the emergency
arise, are prepared to begin anew the
work just completed. The failure of
some of the states, notably four or five
in the south, TO furnish the men called
for up TO this time, is q surprise to the
army officers on duty here, but is as
cribed not 10 a lack of patriotism but
to a belief, probably shared by many
OF the national Suardsmen who had
home ties and business connections
which they could not well afford to
give up, that plenty of other persons
