AT NAVAL BUREAU.
News Carefully Guarded-Asiatic
Fleet Has No Home.

Washington, April 25.-There was a
dearth of news from the seat Of hos
tilities off the Cuban coast, so far as
the navy department was concerned, OF
if it was in possession of information
it was so carefully guarded that moth
ing leaked out.
A few kilograms came from Key
West announcing the arrival there of
the prizes whose capture has been re-
ported through the press. Nothing
could be obtained as to the intentions
of Commodore Schley in so hastily
rushing away the flyers Columbia and
Minneapolis from Hampton Roads, but
it is believed that their purpose is to
shelter the Paris or some of the liners
from attack of some Spanish cruisers.
There was talk of establishing a sup
ply depot in the Philippines to meet
the conditions in Asiatic waters.
Our fleet there now has no home, and
under neutrality laws the stay of the
ships at any port is limited to a few
hours. This is unpleasant, besides in
vOlving the expenditure Of a great deal
of coal, so that it may become neces-
sary for Commodore Dewey to seize a
port in the Philippines and fortify it
as a base of supplies.
The department to-day purchased
two tugs, the Hortense of New Orleans
and the Mary Willick of Galveston.

The Status of the Cable.

Washington, April 25.-Nothing is
known at the naval department of the
reported cutting of the cable connect
ing Cuba with Key West, by the Man
grove, ten miles out at sea. There is a
great deal of doubt as to the accuracy
of the report, and it is believed that
the most that has been done in that di-
rection has been the tapping of the
cable for strategic purposes.
The United States is a party to a
convention which binds all the sigma
tories, most of the maritime powers
of the world to refrain from Interior
ence with cables in the event of war
Perry Belmont, while chairman of
the house committee on foreign rela-
tic rs, labored to this end for several
years. and finally succeeded in having
the United States sign the agreement
A naval officer of high rank. when
questioned on the subject today, re-
marked that almost all agreements are
suspended by war when they ieoDar-
die the interests of one of the COM
batants and favor the other. The cable
connecting with Madrid would be
most pow5 rful assistance to the Spanish
il st now, and would work equal injury
to US, wherefore, said the officer, a pru-
dent naval commander doubtless would
cut the cable first, ard let the diplo-
mats talk about it afterwards.

No oae is allowed on board the
BLOCKADE OF MATANzAs.
Position of Ships-No New Captures
and ALI Quiet

Matanzas, via Key West, April %
7:45 a. m.-(Copyrighted, 1898, by the
Associated Press. 1.-THE Dauntless, the
dispatch boat of the Associated Press,
steamed from off Havana to the block
aiding squadron off MatanZas yester-
day, being the first dispatch boat to
visit the United States vessels cruising
off this port. The Dauntless left the
squadron at Havana just after the
flagship New York sailed, presumably
for Key West. She followed the flag
ship for an hour and then gave up the
chase, as the destination of the New
York was apparently clear. She was
alongside the Indiana for a while.
The Wilmington, Detroit and several
other vessels are further inshore. The
Iowa, following the orders of Rear Ad-
miral Sampson, was far enough off Ha-
vana to escape any ire from the shore
batteries.
There has been no incident worth
noting since the capture of the Span
ish steamer Catalina and two schoon-
ers in the early morning.
The Nashville and Castine are doubt
less still off Cienfuegos.
On her way from Havana. to Matan-
zas, the Dauntless passed the torpedo
boat Winslow, going to report to the
flagship

ABOARD THE NEW YORK.
What Occurred On a Little Trip of
the Flagship.


On Board the Flagship New York
Off Havana, April %. 10 a. m.-(Copy-
righted, $685. by the Associated Press. ,
The early morning hours today were
taken up by a vigorous chasing OF
moving lights. The only vessel spoken
was the British schooner Iolanthe, of
Windsor, n. s. She was allowed to
proceed. She was just out of Matan-
zas. No shots have been fired since
yesterday morning, on either side.
The Dolphin and the converted yacht
Eagle arrived from Key West this
morning. The Dolphin carried the Of
ficers and prize crews who had been
placed on the steamer PEDRO and the
schooner Antonio. All We're glad to get
back. although they said they had had
ne trouble with their prizes.
The torpedo boat Porter made a dar-
ing trip in to the shore, under cover of
darkness last night and Lieutenant
Fremont, her commander, landed with
a small party, and obtained valuable
information. The blockade continues,
under beautiful weather conditions.
The flagship returned to the block
ade line about 4:30 o'clock last evening,
after an unevenetful trip. Nothing Of
Importance, apparently, had occurred
during her absence. When darkness
came on last night, MORO Castle show
it nerVously around the horizon. An
other searchlight also was seen. 1t
looked to be from the direction of the
Santa Clara batteries, to the westward
of FL MORO. The searchlight itself
could not be distinguished, only its rays
being visible.
This is due either to the extremely
lew position Of the light, or its distance
from the blockade line. The MORO
light is placed higher, and is an excel
lent light Last night was the first
time the searchlights have been used.
What benefit they will be to the Span
isrds; no one knows They may pos
sibIy induce the batteries to eXpend
some more ammunition in futile shots
at the squadron, but the blockade con-
tinues as before, seaTchlights or no
searchlights, as, of course, they do not
reach far enough to show our ships.
Il any ships run the blockade. they
will have to run a gauntlet of vigilance
that has never been surpassed. Alert
ness of the officers and men continues
at the same pitch as was exhibited the
first hour the squadron arrived. Ad-
1niral Sampson is more handicapped in
manders during the civil war. In many
cases they were able to anchor, while
admiral SIMPSONS fleet is obliged to
drift around in a two-knot current
with no stationary shore light for
guide. 1t is believed that every steamer
which has attempted to enter Havana
since the blockade began has been cap
tured.

MEMORANDUM TO TIE POWERS.
Presentation of Spain's Side For the
Sympathy Of Europe.

! London, April 26.-The Times this morn
ing publishes Spains memorandum TO the
powers dated April IS, and signed by
Senior Gullon, the Spanish minister of for
! elgn affairs. The memorandum begins by
/ recording the moral and material aid the
/ Cuban rebels have received from the
/ United States in flibuSuering eXpedi-
lions and the operations of the junta.- 1t
| mentions Spain repeated and persistent
denials TO the allegations of cruelty to-
wards the Cubans. and laws great stress
upon President Cleveland's dispatch of
! Dec. II. 1896 TO the fleet that peace would
J be possible if Spain gave a sufficient au-
tonomy to Cuba. The memorandum con-
tends that in the face of the new liberal
constitution granted Cuba, which has
already borne fruit, it is difficult to I'M
derstand why President Mckinley. in his
message of Dec. 6, 1897. and General
/ Woodford. in the note of Dec. IS, 1897.
should still doubt SPANS loyalty.
The document then speaks at some
length of the Maine accident, and asserts
that the Americans. under the preteXt of
the extra -territoriality Of the vessel,
never allowed Spanish authorities to visit
the wreck for purposes of investigation,
and it most Solemnly asserts the absolute
innocence of SPANS officials and of Span
ish subjects generally.
The fairness and loyalty of Spain are
then shown by a reference to the ecuit-
able treatment which American filibust-
srs. more especially those Of the Com
petitOr have received at the hands of
Spain, and in order to show more fully
how pacific and correct has been the
attitude of the Spanish government, the
memorandum enumarates the four
clauses of the Spanish proposals These
are:
Tristan offer to submit all questions
arising from the Maine affair to arbitra-
ton.
Second-An order to Governor Blanco
to retire into the western provinces and
to apply 100000 pesetas, for the relief
of the agricultural population. with an
acceptance by the Spanish government
of relief for Cuban sufferers by the
United States provided such relief were
sent in merchant vessels.
Third-The cooperation of the Cuban
parliament in formulating the extent of
the powers to be reserved for the central
government
Fourth-In view of the Cuban parlia-
ment not meeting before May 1, the l>~cc-
lamation of an immediate armistice.
Thus. being convinced, as Spain is. that
right and equality are on her side, she
will not and cannot surrender her SOW
ereigntV in Cuba.

Madrid, April 25.-About 10000 Re-
publicans, of all shades of opinion
signed an address to Senior Castelar,
the Republican leader, under the pre-
text of congratulating him upon his
recovery from recent sickness, but in
reality offering him their services if
he proclaimS a republic. Senior Cas-
tellar has so far made no reply, but it
is certain that he will not emerge from
his retirement from politics, into which
he has not put foot for the past 20
years, although constantly returned to
the cortes. His coming speech in the
cortes, it is said, will dispel the idea that
he is heading a revolution. On the
contrary, it is said, Senior CASTELAR,
will, from patriotic motives, not OPP
pose the present monarchy.
ITS PAST GREATNESS.
Senior Castellar's speech will be a
panegyric of Spains past greatness.
The newspapers of this city ard the
provinces are filed with rumors of cap
lures made by the war vessels Of Spain
or the United States and with reports
of the movements of American war
ships, combined with patriotic utter
dom.
DIPLOMATIC POINT LOST.
A new point has been raised relative
to the non-deliVery of the ultimatum
of the United States. The view now
taken is that its on-delivery leaves the
United States unpledged in regard to
the reservations made with reference to
Cuban independence. Thus, it is
pointed out, while her pride is gratified
Spain has lost a diplomatic point.
The financial outlook is the object
of mucn comment in the press. 1t is
an open secret that the supplies con-
centrated for Cuban expenses are all
we'll nigh exhausted. The two million
pounds sterling monthly, which has
hitherto been considered sufficient, and
a great deal more than that amount
will be required for military arma-
ments, for carrying on the war with
the United States.
A great curiosity is felt to know how
the government will raise the money
required.

FUTURE FULL OF PERIL.
SPANS Dangers Aggravated By III
nancial Disturbances.

New York. April 25-Spain's dangers
from within are becoming fully as grave
as those from without. says the Madrid
correspondent of the World.
Political dangers are aggravated by the
financial disturbances in Madrid and a
dozen principal towns in the provinces,
marked by an alarming run on the silver
reserve of the Bank of Spain. fall in
the prices of securities of every kind. a
rise in exchange, sending the gold pre-
MUM to Is per cent.
These things have made the politicians
and everybody else pay less attention to
the news from America and Cuba, start
ling rs it is.
The press advices the people to desist
from demonstrations which might be-
come ineXpedient and dangerous. The
newspapers attribute the financial panic
to the Hebrew bankers and to the spec
ulators.
1t is impossible to discover how bitter
the Spaniards are against the English.
and the feeling increases every day.
