Key West, Fla, May THE French
transatlantic mail steamer Lafayette
was captured on Thursday evening off
Havana by the gunboat Annapolis,
and the vessel was escorted to Key
West yesterday by the Wilmington.
The Lafayette had previously been
warned not to enter Havana harbor,
and making the second attempt was
captured after lively chase. The Of
ficers of the Lafayette were very in
dignant, and declared that the deten-
tion would become an international
episode The ground on which the
vessel was captured was the suspicion
that she carried contraband of war.
The authorities at Washington were

DEWEYS Big PROGRAM.
Delay in Carrying It Out Has Probably
Withheld the Victorious Amer
ican's Report.

Washington, May AFTER another
day of waiting in the navy and state
departments the doors again were
closed last evening without word
from Commodore Dewey or any other
reliable source as to what happened at
Manila after the cable broke. One
comfort the officials take in the situa-
tion, although 1t Is of negative char
aster, Is that the lack of communica-
tion is probable evidence that the
Spanlards at least are not in control
at Manila, else they would speedily
communicate that fact to the rest of
the world through the cable. If the
delay means anything it is believed not
to be more serious than that Commo-
dore Dewey has been delayed in car
rying out. fully his plans for the oc-
cupation Of Manila.
In other words it may not have been
possible for the commodore, within the

mercantile pursuits When surprise
was displayed that such was their mis-
sion at this time they merely shrugged
their shoulders and vouchsafed no
further explanation. One Cuban was
aboard, who was returning to join the
insurgent army. He was banished
from the island seven months ago, but
came within the terms of General
Blanco's armistice just before the war
begun. He was overjoyed when told
that he would be taken with the regu-
lar United States troops when they
moved. The local junta took him IN
charge and he left for Tampa last
night.
The United States authorities who
examined the Lafayette say that so
far as the ships manifest shows she
carries no contraband of war, but with
such an immense cargo it was impos-
sible to make a thorough inspection.
They saw nothing in the nature of
arms or ammunition on board. Her
release constitutes the first official act
Of Commodore Watson in his new COM
mand of this division of Admiral
Simpsons fleet. He arrived on the
Olivette yesterday and Immediately
went on board the cruiser Cincinnati,
where he hoisted his flag.
The ships in the harbor doomed a
commodore's salute of II guns yes
terday afternoon. The customary act
Of courtesy to Q new commanding Of
ficer had q distressing effect on the
Lafayette's passengers. The federal
officials were dining with Captain
Chaplela at the time, and suddenly
found themselves in the midst of
panic. The Spaniards yelled that the
enemy had opened fire. and they
scampered about the decks to find
places of shelter. Some of them burst
frantically into the captains cabin,
where he was at dinner with his Wis
itors. and begged the Americans to
save their lives. One Mexican woman,
wife of a Spaniard, who was seized
with a spasm when the Annapolis held
up the Lafayette, duplicated the per-
formance when the salute was fired,
and for some time it was feared her
life was in danger

! nIort space OF TWO Gays, 70 enect the
destruction Of the Spanish fleet the
silencing OF the forts at Cavite, the
seizure of Corregidor Island, the cap
ture Of Manila, and finally the restora-
tion Of cable communication. If he has
been delayed beyond Tuesday or We'd
nesday in carrying out this extensive
program 1t Is not at all surprising that
he has not been heard from through d
dispatch boat. The state department
Is in close touch with Consul Wildman,
at Hong Kong, who is expected to sup
ply the earliest possible news from the
Philippines. The only message received
from the consul yesterday was one in
forming the department that four fam
lilies OF refugees in the Philippines had
petitioned for admission to United
States citizenship, something mani
festly impossible for the consul to
grant.
Respecting Admiral SIMPSONS move
ments the department is still mute, al
though 1t is apparent that interesting
news is expected on that subject within
the next two days. Therefore ii is
quite certain that the rumor which
originated III LOnuOll, 10 tHe ellecl tnaL
Sampson has undertaken a campaign
in the Canaries, is dismissed without
attracting attention at the Lands of the
officials since it would be manifestly
impossible for the admiral to arrive at
the Canaries within so short space of
time as three days. Again. the moni-
tors in this fleet could not carry enough
coal to make the passage. Moreover,
the naval strategy board fs not send
ing out notifications of contemplated
stragetic moves.
The London report that the Conti-
mental powers were seeking to have
England join them in intervention also
was lacking of veriicatiOn in official
and diplomatic quarters here. The
state department has received no sug-
geston Of such Intervention, and does
not believe it is contemplated. The
foreign representatives here, including
those Of Great Britain France, Ger
many and Russia, meet these reports
with specific denials and declare that
Intervention Is not being discussed in
any way at the present time.

Paris, May THE effect upon Paris
of the seizure of the steamer Lafayette
is clear enough. Already rather Bit
ter feeling against the United States
existed and the incident will certainly
not tend to diminish it. If it is demon
strated eventually that there was MOTH
ing to justify the seizure the govern
ment may be expected to make the
very strongest protest. Some angry
expressions are to be heard. and the
United States embassy is well guarded
by policemen and detectives.

No News From Manila,

Hong Kong, May 7.-Nothing. in the
shape of news has been received here
from Manila. The United States dis
patch boat Hugh McCulloch, whose ar
rival at Mrs bay was not confirmed, Is
considered to be overdue, and some
anxiety is expressed in consequence
1t is thought possible that the fighting
about Manila is continuing. Two
American sailing ships, the Thomas

from Manila. They left that port be-
fore the naval engagement occurred,
and say they were chased by Spanish
EunbOat.

He sent other servants to say, "A!l

Essay on Shakespeare.

At a recent meeting Of the Pump
kinville Literary Society the author
of the evening was Shakespeare, and
the following essay on the poet and
his works was read by one of the
society's most gifted members:
William Shakespeare was a pow
erfully successful man. This was
partly due to the fact that he was
pushed with work all the time. When
he first started out to writing poetry
he would hunt around for rhymes,
and as he could not find any he just
wrote on without them. He soon
found out that poetry was just al
good without rhymes as with them,
and then he went out Of the rhyme
business entirely.
he wrote more poetry and fewer
rhymes than anybody in Stratford
county, and they offered him the
nomination for bailiff on the strength
OF it. but Bill knew the ring was
against him and he wisely decided to
remain in the poet line, and in this
ne became wonderfully proficient. He
could outpoet anybody that ever lived.
For q long time he kept his poet
shop on Broad street. Stratford, and
thought about opening branch fac.
tory in London. He was bothered a
great deal by building and loan and
insurance agents and people who
wanted to sell controlling interests
in mines, railways and steamship
lines. They were constantly calling
on him and worrying him so he could
not poet. Then hn had the street
number scratched off his house and
went into retirement.
"Shakespeare's principal claim to
notoriety was that he wore whiskers
like the Prince of Wales and was q
considerably better looking man."
