WIRES TAMPERED WITH.
The Gable Between Key West and
Punta Rassa Cut.

KEY WEST, April 1S-A Havana
dispatch received here this morning
says that while outwardly Havana is rs
calm as ever, and there are no signs of
excitement at the Cuban Capital, th5re
is a strong feeling that war is i'm
minent. It is agreed that both the
Cuban and Spanish patriots are enthu-
siastic at the prospects and eager for
an outbreak of hostilities.
It was learned to-day that the cable
between Key West and Punta Rassa
had been cut about two miles this side
of Saibel Island, about III miles from
Key West The matter was kept Sc
Cret. and the break has been repaired.
The incident looked suspicious, as the
broken end of the cable showed that it
had been cut clean through, though the
rupture might have been accidental, as
the water is shallow where the break
occurred and the anchor of some YES
sci may have become entangled in the
cable
Captain Sampson learned of it to-day,
and wired the Navy Department at
Washington. 1t has been decided to
establish a careful guard in those wa
ters and any suspicious craft will be
summarily dealt with. The revenue
cutter Mclean has already been sent
on patrol there The matter is of the
utmost Importance, as the cables be-
tween here and Punta Rassa are the
only communication with the mainland,
and if it were interfered with at this
time the consequences could not be
foretold

thorized to buy .delicacies of the season

was a small one, garrisoned by volun-

that the insurgents entered the town
and plundered and burned a tobacco
warehouse. The Spanish report adds
that the garrison of the fort lost four
men killed and had nine men wounded

Gus dispatches relating to the Cuban

from General Blanco, containing un-
favorable news with regard to the at

that when the American Senate COM
menced the discussion of and voted in
favor of the recognition of Cuban indie
pendence, the rebels abandoned their
intention of yielding to Spain to re-
turn for a broader measure of au-
tonomy, and there is a general popular
distrust here as to any outcome of the
negotiations with the rebels.

THE COAL QUESTION.
England's Order in Line With the
Presidents Wishes.

NEW YORK, April 1S-In directing
her colonies to regard coal as contra
band of war in the event of hostilitias
between the United States and Spain,
Great Britain has taken action, Admin
istration officials say, in line with the
wishes of the President and naval au-
thorities, says the Washington CORE
spondent of the Herald"
Pressure will be exerted upon France,
Hayti and San Domingo to accomplish
the same result, and some attention is
being given by the State Department
to South American countries, with a
view to securing from them a declara-
ton Of the contraband character of
coal, as well as an announced determin-
alton on their part not to sell either to
Spanish or American men-of-wer a
supply of fuel greater than that neces-
sary to enable the belligerent vessel to
steam to the next home port.
So far as the Danish West Indies are
concerned, the authorities have pur-
chased in their ports all the coal that it
is possible to secure With coal con-
traband of war, Administration officials
and naval experts say it will be impos-
sible for Spanish vessels to operate in
the West Indies or on the Pacific Coast,
and as result the chances for the sue
cess of American arms would be i'm
measurably enhanced
Great Britain's declaration of the
contraband character of coal will affect
the United States at only one polnt-in
the Far East. The United States now
has at Hongkong a fleet of six vessels
the cruisers Baltimore. Olympia, Raj
eigh and Boston, and the gunboats
Concord and Petrel-and these ships
are awaiting the word to rush to Man
liza.
If the Notifications of the Philippines
should stand off the American fleet for
any length of time, the operations of
the vessels would be greatly embar-
rassed, for, by England's declaration,
her colonists will be only allowed to sell
to either belligerent a supply only suf-
ficient to take him to his home port
Appreciating the position assumed
by the British Government, Command
er Dewey, acting under instructions
from Secretary Long. has purchased g.
large quantity of coal and has stored it
on board two Golfers, which viii ac-
company his fleet to the Philippines.
Extended operations would necessitate

Orders Issued by Commissary Gen
eral for Supplies.

CHICAGO, April 1S.-A special to the
"Chronicle" from Washington says: The
American soldiers in the field live in
fine style. and the experts declare that
an army of 100000 men can be supplied
from domestic sources without inconve-
niencing anybody or causing the price
of food products to rise
Orders have been sent out by Com
missary- General Cushing for the pur-
chase of supplies and the shipment OF
material to Chickamauga, Mobile, Tam
ma and New Orleans. These purchases
will be made at st. Louis, New York
CITY. Omaha. Chicago, Kansas City and
New Orleans. General Cushing says
the domestic sources of supply are so
abundant and reliable that unless there
should be OCCASION to put something like
1 900. 600 men in the field. there need be
no occasion for an increase in cost OF
subsistence or any like effect upon the
food supplies of the country. The cost
of transportation will be less where the
army is concentrated than where it is
distributed all over the country.

BATTLESHIP O'HIGGINS.
Navy Department Abandons Effort
to Secure the Warship.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-It was
stated at the Navy Department this af-
ternoon that the efforts to secure the
Chilean battleship O'Higgins have been
practically abandoned and that there is
no longer any prospect that the United
States desires or will be able to secure
any more WarShipS either belonging TO
foreign nations or being built in foreign
shipyards. Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt said this afternoon that it was more
than probable that the Department
hereafter would confine its efforts in this
direction to the requirement of yachts,
tugs and small craft generally for the
auxiliary navy.
STEAMSHIP ST. PAUL
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1S.-The
Government is negotiating for the pur-
chase of the steamship ST. Paul, built at
a local iron works for the Alaska Com
mesrcial Company. The st. Paul was
built especially for the Alaska trade,
and was launched on the 9th Of this
month She could be placed in COM
mission in few weeks and is at such q
stage of construction at present writ
ing as would admit of her being easily
converted into a cruiser.
The Government proposes, it is
learned from reliable navy attache,
to pay the Alaska Commercial Com
pany the cost price of the steamer, and
in addition allow the corporation fair
sum to represent the amount the steam
er might earn as passenger and freight
craft.
The ST. Paul is of 2,200 tons and is
90 feet 6 inches long and will have d
speed of thirteen knots.
