NEWS LEAKED
OUT.
The New York is at Key West and the
Rest Of the Ships In the Windward

The New York is at Key West and the
Rest Of the Ships in the Windward
Passage.
WASHINGTON, May 2I.-Important
facts regarding Admiral Sampson s
feet leaked out here today. They
lead to the belief that a naval engage
ment is very near.
It is stated that the cruiser New
York is the only ship of the feet that
has returned to KeyWest, and that
Sampson has remained in good stra-
tegic position to descend upon Cerve-
ra's fleet should it appear off the south
coast of Cuba.
This position is in the Windwsrd
Passage, close to Santiago, which port
Cervera made two days ago.
SIMPSONS scouts are believed to
have informed him fully of the Span
ish movements. 1t is further said that
reinforcements have been hurried to
the principal American fleet, and also
that the blocksding squadron OF Ha'
vana has been strengthened. The
New York returned to Key West to
get new search light and replace
paraphernalia smashed during the
bonn mbardment of San Juan.

HAVE CUBANS
SOLD OUT?
The Cubans are Making Big Promises

TAMPA, May 21.-A strange story
is afioat here among military men
that there has been q sell out some
where by the Cuban insurgents. The
complete failure of the Cubans to as
sist in the landing of the Gussie expe-
dition, and again Gomez's half hearted
acceptance of interference, are things
not calculated to impress the military
officials with any great faith in Cuban
promises. twill surely develop with
in q few days whether these suspicious
are correct, but under the rigid censor
ship now in force the reasons for this
cannot be explained.

is GERMANY
PLAYING FAIR?

Her Sympathy With Spain is Ill Con-
cealed.
WASHINGTON, May 21.-The opin-
lon that Germany will soon accord to
Spain her active support persists here
strongly. While it is difficult, or i'm
possible rather, to find actual confirm
alton Of this, the belief that is so posi-
lively held is strengthened by the re-
port from Manila that German resi-
dents there, Influenced by instructions
sent to the German consul, Lambertin,
are sympathizing openly with the
Spaniards.

His Tongue in q Sling.

NEW YORK, May 21.-George Tulley
was dying from hiccoughs in Bellevue
hospital, when new cure was tried
with complete success. A pair of big

vanished. After Tulley has worn his
tongue in a sling for a few days he will
be all right.

When the great series OF revolts against
Spanish rule in America occurred during
the first quarter Of the century, by which
Mexico and the various South American
countries achieved their independence.
Spain was intensely hostile to the United
States and appealed to the Holy Alliance,
composed Of the principal continental
powers. to help her in recovering her
lost possessions. Sc might have sue
ceeded had it not been for the firm op.
position Of England, which distinctly
approved the enuncistion by President
Monroe Of the famous doctrine that
bears his name. In his message to con-
gress in 1929 he declared that the United
States would consider any attempt on
the part u the great European powers
to extend their system to any portion Of
this hemisphere as dangerous 10 our
peace and safety. England's cordial ap-
proval OF this doctrine was. in effect, .
warning to the Holy Alliance not to aid
Spain. She got no assistance and her
great provinces in America which one
after another had shaken on her yoke
were lost to her forever.
