| hand and external evidence which pointed
to Admiral Cervera's presence in the inner
harbor. This evidence was apparently
strong enough to make the Commodore
feel certain the object of his trip had been
accomplished, but in view of his previous
experience, he would not risk decisive
statement until after ascertaining the fact
for himself.
Before this dispatch is published it Is
likely that Commodore Schley has sent
some vessels into the entrance of the har-
Dor of Santiago, or has obtained from a re-
liable source ashore information as to the
exact number and the names of the Span
ish warships sheltered by the hills about
the place.
Contrary to the generally expressed opin-
ion, Santiago harbor is poorly protected.
Like Havana and San Juan de Porto Rico,
1t has it's MORO Castle, which is even a
better target than those of Havana and
San Juan. The only danger to Be feared
is from the mines which have been laid in
the channel of Santiago harbor since war
was declared. But counter-minng would
probably render these mines harmless.
should 1t prove desirable for Commodore
Schley's ships to enter the harbor. Such
step. however, Is unlikely.
In this connection it may be noted that
since the commencement of the naval ope-
ratons the moral effect of the mines has
been great. This condition promises to
continue and will probably mark the naval
operations to a greater extent than ever
imagined in the past.
prominent naval authority said to the
correspondent of the Associated Press:
The moral effect of torpedoes and mines
Will prove far superior to their actual ef-
feet. In fact, so great is their moral force
that 1 doubt whether their powers of exc
cution will have an opportunity to be
judged in this war"

CABLE CUTTING
A Graphic Story of Work Done at
Santiago,

NEW YORK, May 2S.-The incident of
the attempt to sever cable connection be-
tween Cuba and the rest of the world
which was one of the latest objects which
engaged the st. Louis in the stay in the
West Indies, was told as follows by one
who was on board the cruiser:
Orders were given by Admiral Sampson
to Captain Goodrich on May Is to take the
Meet tender In tow and to proceed to San
tiago de Cuba and cut the cables at that
point. The graphing implements were
secured from the tug Wampatuck on May
l6 and at IL p. m. the expedition, in the
small boats, left the cruiser for the en-
trance of Santiago. 1t was then perfectly
dark and hazy and the Santiago light was
burning brightly. Moon-rise was not until
3:45 a. m. After the departure of the cable
cutting party signals from two gunboats
were seen. At a. M, May II, the expedi-
tion returned with part of one cable, but
1t had failed to find the second, which is
close under the fort and was protected by
two patrol boats. Then start was made
to cut the cable on the other part of the
island.
At a. m. the ST. Louis fired its first gun
Santiago harbor, and after a little time
the fire was returned by one gun, which
must have been two-pounder.
At a. m. the st. Louis was about two
miles distant from the fort, which seemed
to be unprotected by modern guns. After
three hours graphing in over 500 fathoms
the cable had not been found. At 1915
p. m. the guns of Moro Castle opened fire.
followed by the shore batteries on the
southerly point, and also the west battery
| The st. Louis kept up constant fire from
! her bow guns, and soon succeeded in
| silencing the guns of Moro Castle. The
garrison Of Spaniards could be seen run
ming in all directions. Most of the shots
| from the fort fell short of the ships. Shells
| from the mortar battery went over the
cruiser and exploded in the water quite
close to the St. Louis. The mortar battery
ceased at 1915 p. m, after a fusilade of
Al minutes. After the firing the cable was
grappled, hauled on board and cut.

cool manner under fire, and Captains
Goodrich and w. G. Randle. the latter of
the American Line, at the close of the en-
gagement complimented all hands for their

NEW YORK. May 2s.-The auxiliary
cruiser st. Louis arrived at this port from
West Indian waters this morning. The st.
Louis has been ordered to the Cramp ship
yards, Philadelphia, and will sail immedi-
ately for that place. 1t is said that she is
to have her armament increased by six

Pretty Near Sure
Doesn't Believe 1T

CAPE HAYTIEN, Hayti. May 2S.-Ru-
NOR has reached here of an important
American success. but no confirmation OIL
the report can be obtained here.
Since the rumored arrival of the Spanish
fleet at Santiago de Cuba no news has
reached here, though the cable between
this place and Santiago de Cuba is not in
terrupted. The significance of this mys-
terious silence is not known, but excites
great wonder. No explanation is furnished
beyond surmise based on various infiu-
ences.
The theory that the Spanish admiral al
lowed himself to be bottled up In the bay
of Santiago de Cuba Is not entertained
here. On the contrary, the Haytien OFF,
cials say 1t Is far from likely that such a
thing has occurred.
1t is hoped that a message from Commo-
dore Schley will soon be received at the
mole st. Nicholas or elsewhere.

Daily States: 1t appears that the
riot and the attack upon the Jail at
Tampa by the negro soldiers of the
Ninth Cavalry were instigated by
number of white officers of the re-
giment, every one of whom it is to
be hoped, will be court martialed
and dismissed from the army in dis
grace. The State authorities are
doing everything in their power to
have the officers, as we'll as privates
who participated in the affair, sent
back to Tampa under arrest, with
the determination to have them
punished to the full exent of the
law. The Republican administra-
ton is fond of preaching about the
necessity of maintaining law and
order in the South, aud yet, having
absolute control of the army, it is
permitted to make an armed attack
on Jail and rescue a prisoner who
had defied the law. This is not the
first time, however, that negro SOL
diers have cause trouble at Tampa,
and it will be we'll for the citizens
to organize and arm for their own
protection and shoot down the
negro soldiers and their white Off
GERS whenever they attempt to ter
rorize the town.

Tensas Gazette: We will have a
problem to solve in establishing a
stable government in Cuba, but the
rush of live Americans to that beau
tiful land, for which nature has done
every thing and man scarcely any,

luton. The Americans will be-
come citizens and in time Cuba may
be added to the Union. We will
no doubt have much trouble with
the Cubans, but American com
mon sense will prevail.
