CHARGES WERE UNTRUE.

Officers of Prize Vessels Say They
Were Treated With Courtesy.
Key West, June 5.-After thorough
investigation Judge Locke, of the
United States district court, has filed
a decision in the matter of the charges
made by Cadet Needham L. Jones, Of
the flagship New York, through En-
sign Christy, the prize commander Of
the Castalina, accusing the deputy
marshals in charge of the Spanish ves-
sells of brutality to prisoners and the
theft of silverware and other articles
of value from the prize ships. The
masters and officers of the prize ships
said they had been treated with all
respect and courtesy, and nothing
whatever had been improperly taken
from the ships. Judge Locke thereup-
on dismissed the case and now it is
said that charges will be preferred
against Cadet Jones, although it is
considered that the whole ugly affair
will be dropped.

Washington, June Awhile the war
measure was not passed by the senate
two very important votes were taken
zone on proposition to coin the silver
bullion in the treasury and to issue
silver certificates agaii.st the coin, and
the other on the bonj proposition pre-
sented by the Republican minority of
the committee on finance. Mr.. Wolcott
proposed an amendment authorizing
the secretary of the treasury to coin
the bullion in the treasury and issue
certificates against it. After some dis
cussion the amendment was agreed to
-48 to 31-several Republicans voting
for it. Mr.. Aldrich of Rhode Island
then pressed the amendment of the mi
nority of the finance committee pro.
viding for the issuance Of $1OO,OO0,O 900
certificates of indebtedness and $780,
100000 of bonds to be used exclusive
ly for the payment Of the expenses Of
the war. After an extended debate
the question was brought to an issue
and carried by the decisive vote Of As
to 81. The bond amendment was in
corporated in the bill as a substitute
for the amendment to issue legal
tender notes. The bond proposition
received the votes of 81 Republicans,
Democrats and 1 Populist. No Re-
publicans voted against the issue Of
bonds, the votes in opposition to bonds
being cast by p Democrats, 5 PoDu-
lists and 5 silver Republicans. Just
before adjournment a sensational
speech was made by Mr.. Wolcott in
reply to some suggestions concerning
the bimetallic commission made by
Mr.. Allen Of Nebraska. Mr.. Wolcott
regarded Mr.. Aliens statements as
personally offensive. and he made
flashing attack upon the Nebraska SEN
ator and the Populist party.
In the House.
The house consumed much time but
without result considering a bill to
authorize the president to restore to
his rank and duty Maj. Joseph w.
Wham, paymaster in the army, who
was suspended in 1890 upon half pay
until 1904 through court martial pro-
ceedings and executive action. Mr..
Talbert Of South Carolina, by unani-
nous consent, proceeded to speak for
twenty minutes in opposition to bond
issue as proposed in the revenue bill.
Forty nine private pension and relief
bills were passed and at 2:4O the house
took recess until 8 p. m.

PLENTY OF FOOD.

Srnninrd Says blockade Runners
Have Supplied the Spnninrds In
Cuba.
Madrid, June 5. - A Spaniard from
Cuba, who has returned here since the
blockade was established, said he had
heard that plenty of food had been re-
ceived in Cuba through the blockade
runners, chiefly English, under the
very noses Of the American ships at
various points along the coast, from
which it was carried to the railway,
thus reaching Havana"
The Spaniard asserts also that there
is sufficient food in the island for the
next eight months; that the greatest
enthusiasm prevails among the Span
iards there, and that all the popula-
ton is under arms. Private dispatches
from Cuba say that the rainy season
has begun and that the insurgents do
not dare to attack Santiago de Cuba.

Port au Prince, Haiti, June 5.-Yes-
terday morning at 8 o'clock the Ameri-
can squadron again began q lombard
ment of the Notifications of Santiago
de Cuba and lively cannonade en-
sued for two hours which silenced the
Spanish batteries. An American YES
sci, the Merrimac, described in the ad-
vices from Santiago de Cuba, as an
auxiliary cruiser, making dash to
force the entrance, succeeded in pass
ing the first line of defenses, but was
torpedoed about 500 feet up the chan
mel. She went down perpendicular
ly:" An officer, an engineer and six
seamen were taken prisoners. The
number Of victims is unknown. Only
the funnel and mastheads of the sunk
en- vessel can be seen. There is great
excitement in the city. A part of the
population assisted in the fighting on
the heights. Everybody is astounded
at the audacity Of the American YES
sci. The American squadron was
cruising all the while in the offing.
Told by Spnniards
Cape Haitien, Haiti, June 4. - The
American fleet, according to advices
received by cable from Santiago de
Cuba, the cable being under Spanish
control, opened fire again yesterday
morning on the Notifications and war
ships. One Of the United SCtates aux
iliary cruisers well armed" attempted
to force the passage into the harbor.
The Spanish allowed her to cross the
first line Of torpedoes, but before she
arrived at the second line they dis
charged at her torpedo which broke
great hole in her side and caused her
to sink almost Immediately, bow first.
The name Of the vessel is not known,
nor is the number Of victims reported.
One officer, one engineer and six sail
ors We're made prisoners by the Span
iards.
A later dispatch from Santiago says
that the vessel sunk is understood to
be the Merrimac. Only the extremi.
ties of her funnel and masts are WIS.,
ible above water.
The Santiago advices to Cape Hal
ten refer to the sunken jessel as an
auxiliary cruiser, probably installing
Ter character. The Merrimac is col
lier and always has been a collier.
Washington, June 5.-The navy de-
partment, up to an early hour this

Dallas, 2 eX., June ga special from
Shreveport, La, says: A thousand
people gathered at Doitin, which is
situated on the Vicksburg, Shreveport
4 Pacific railway about eighteen miles
from here, to witness the burning at
the stake of William Street, a negro
who attempted to ruin and murder
Mrs. Parish. The crime was commit
ted on the night of May 30. The peo-
pie erected post near the railway
track near the town, laid light wood
and kindling, saturated with coal OIL
preparatory to claiming Street to the
post. He was tied to the stake and
uttered not a word as the great crack
ling flames shot up in succession
about his head. 1t was a sickening
sight which lasted ten minutes, when
Street was charred mass. The wo-
man whom Street assaulted is in q
most critical condition and could not
recognize Street until a doctor held
open her eyelids.

Washington, June 1.-The Washing
ton Pist says: There is absolutely no
doubt in the minds Of the naval Off
Gals in Washington that the sending
Of the collier into the harbor was all a
pre-arranged move on the part Of Ad-
miral Sampson. The use of collier,
the unusual hour of the morning, the
necessity of blockading the channel so
as to relieve the ships of the squadron
from remaining stationed off Santiago,
the importance of discovering where
the mines are effective, all these rea-
sons make it clear that the movement
was deliberately planned. 1t is not a
Spanish victory. 1t was cleverly ar
ranged scheme on the part Of the
American admiral and it was success
full. The eight men in the Spanish
prison are the real heroes of the war.

San Francisco, June 5.-The second
expedition to the Philippines will prob
ably get under way next Tuesday or
Wednesday,. 1t will not reach the pro-
portions at first anticipated owing to
the fact that the five vessels which
were to have made up the little fleet of
transports are not ready, nor will any
of them be ready by the time stated
unless tie government hurries the sup
plies which have been decided uDon
to make up the cargoes of the vessels.
So far no supplies Of any kind have
been placed on board the China, the
Zealandia or the Colon, and the work
of fitting ur the hunks for the soldiers
is progressing in somewhat desultory
manner, but this will not keep the YES
sells back when 'hurry orders are is
sued by the department. 1t is not pos
sible for the Centennial or the Ohio
to be made ready to start in the Sec
ond expedition. The Morgan City,
which arrived from South American
ports yesterday, was inspected by the
government officials and
1T Is Generally Expected
that the City of Para, which will ar
rive early next week from the south,
will be inspected and that these two
vessels, with the Ohio and Centennial,
will compose the third fleet of trans
ports to be sent to Admiral Dewey.
The Morgan City, which is capable of
carrying 800 men in comfort, is pow
erful addition to the third fleet. An
order was issued from Gen. Merritt's
headquarters designating the full COM
panies Of the Eighteenth and Twenty
third regiments of the United States
Infantry as part of the second eXDe-
dition. So far as known the troops to
go besides these regulars will be the
First Pennsylvania, Fifth Colorado,
Second California, four batteries of the
United States artillery and four COM
panies Of cavalry. 1t is possible that
the Minnesota regiment will also go.
The Colorado and Pennsylvania vol
unteers were inspected ny Gen. Otis.
The men appeared in heavy marshing
order and were put through the usual
military maneuvers. Gen. Otis ex-
pressed himself as much pleased with
the result Of the inspection.
