While the town mentioned is not within
the blockading lines, it is felt that with
due vigilance the vessel could have been
captured by one of the American cruis-
ers. The vexatiOus feature of the boats
arrival at ManzanilO is that the large
amount of supplies that she carries are
probably within reach Of the Spanish
defenders of Santiago whom Admiral
Sampson is now trying to starve out.
There are other Spanish forces in the
neighborhood reported to be in desperate
straits as to food and ammunition, who
may be enabled, if this rumor proves
true, to continue affective resistance for
some time.
Washington, D. c., June 1S.-Therc
was much anticipation in official circles
tonight of the official dispatches telling
of the arrival of the Santiago and first
Philippine expeditions at their respective

dition said tonight:

dispatch boat Wanda, Kingston, Ja-
maica, June 1S.-S:45 IA. ma hot
brush between some Spanish troops and
a accommodating party in steam cutters
occurred ut daylight this morning in a
small cove west of MORO Castle. The
Massachusetts steam cutter, in charge
of Lieutenant Harlow. entered the cove
to take soundings and reconnoitre.
When well inside the inlet detachment
of Spanish infantry opened fire upon the
cutter from blockhouse. The fire was
vigorously returned by the marines In
the Massachusetts boat, and also by
the marines who were in the New
York's cutter, which was i'm charge Of
Naval Cadet Powell. and which had
followed i'm. The New York's cutter was
hit ten times, and a marine in the cut
ter of the Massachusetts had the stock
of his rifle shattered, but by good luck
no one was hit.
The Texas opened fire with her six
n0ufder on the hillside and the Vixen
steamed right into the cove and pepper
ed the blockhouse with her rapid firing
guns. Eventually the Spaniards re-
treated to the woods, and the two steam
cutters Withdrew.
The Yankee arrived here yesterday.

on Monday last, while off Cienfuegos 4
Spanish Gunboat came out to meet the
Yankee, evidently mistaking her for a
merchant vessel The Spaniard, how
ever, soon saw his mistake, and turned
and opened fire, which was hotly re-
turned by the Yankee. The latter
chased the gunboat until the Spaniard
took refuge in the harbor. whose forts
opened fire. on the American vessel.
Thereupon the Yankee engaged the
Eastern and Western batteries. But,
seeing no chance of catching the gun-
boat Captain Brownson withdrew.

fragment struck landsman named

Grave Events.
Rome, June 1S-In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day the Premier, the Mar
quis di Rudini, announced that the
Ministry, which was formed on May
81, has resigned. Amidst considerable
excitement, the Marquis di Rudini said
that after considering the parliamentary
situation, and in order not to prejudice
the grave public questions. the Ministers
had placed their resignation in the
haBds of the King who reserved the
right OF decision relative to their accept
ance, a remark which was greeted with
murmurs.
Continuing the Marquis said the Min
istry would remain in office for the
present III order to attend TO routine
business and safeguard public order. He
then begged the Chamber to suspend its
sittings for the present. The request
was approved after stormy debate.
1t is generally thought that the re-
signation of the Ministry foreshadows
gave events.
The Marquis di Rudini repeated his
statements later, in substance, in the
Senate, where they were well received.
The Senate then adjourned without
debate.

HANNAs FRIENDS IN A ROW.
Elected From the Most Turbulent Con
vention Ever Held in Northern Ohio.

Cleveland, Ohio, June 1S.-As one of
the results of the Senatorial fight last
winter, the Republicans of Cayahiogl
county had today the fiercest and most
turbulent conventional battle ever seen
in Northern Ohio. At the caucuscs
Thursday night the struggle between tho
Hanna men and the forces of Mayor
McI<isson. was keen and bitter and the
outcome was so doubtful that on Friday
both factions claimed to have elected Il
majority of the delegates to the county
convention. The convention opened ia
Army and Navy Hall this morning. A.
large squad of police was on hand. The
county committee of fifteen controlled
by the Hanna men insisted upon it's usu-
al privilege of naming the temporary
chairman and sent G. w. Collister To
the platform in that capacity. Amid Il
storm of shouts and yellS and the great
est confusion on the floor and platform
the MckissOn men demanded that #. T..
Taft be made temporary chairman Taft
went to the platform and stood beside
Collister. PandemOnium broke loose.
The police charged on the platform.
climbing over the reporters tables and
forced Collister and every Hanna man
with him out of a side entrance. Taft
called for a vote on temporary chairman
and before it ended every Hanna dele
gate had left the hall. Mayor McKissou
was in "A side ROOM
The Hanna men went to Riblets Hall
nearby and held convention of their
own. choosing delegates to the coming
State convention and county committee
Of II for the ensuing year. The McKis-
son men in Army and Navy Hall did the
same. The State convention will decide
which delegation shall be seated and tho
courts will probably have to decide which
committee of II was legally chosen.

his personal conduct he flew into a pas

sion threw her to the floor. Mrs. Hanna

CATALONIA WANTS PEACE.
All to Lose and Nothing to Gain by
The War.

The WAR.
Madrid. June 1910 a. m.-There is
considerable comment here to-day over
a long conference which has just taken
place between the British Ambassador
to Spain, Sir Henry DFummond-WOlff
and the Spanish Minister of War, Cen
eral Correa.
The newspapers of this. city to-day
publish the text of a manifesto from the
Inhabitants of Catalonia, of which
Barcelona is the capital in favor of
peace between Spain and the United
States
The manifesto is signed by thirty-ive
associations and eighteen local news
papers.
1t says the present evils are educ to
the existing regime which is nothing but
government of disorder and neglect"
After recalling the fact that the
Spanish Monarchs have lost possession
after possession, it says
THE United States is guilty of un-
iustifable aggression. but if the war is
prolonged Spain will be completely
ruined A painful amputation is u hun
dred-fold preferable to terrible and
disastrous war. and any transaction
eventually made will not be more honor
able after the country is ruined. the
blood of her valued soldiers shed and
starvation has ravaged a majority of the
workmen's homes"
The manifesto then depicts the griev-
Gus internal situation and says:
'Spain asks immediate peace, despAa
the opposition of those who desire the
utter destruction of the country in or.
der to impose their domination upon its
ruin. The sooner peace is concluded the
more advantageous it will be. 1t is the
duty of everybody to endeavor to force
the government to obtain peace"
The document concludes by predicting,
unless n speedy peace is secured, com
pIete internal collapse, which win en-
guf economic prosperity and political or
ganizations and launch the country into
state of anarchy or arbitrary despot-

But Equipment and Amplest Camp Fa-

Washington, june 1S.-It has been
suggested, that owing to the heavy de-
mand for troops, which has far exceed
ed the number originally believed to be
sufficient. there will be occasion to is
sue another call for volunteers. Hav-
ing in mind the length Of time required
to develop raw material into seasoned
soldiers, as revealed by the experiences
at Chickamauga, Tampa and Camp
Alger there is no doubt that the Presi-
dent will be forehanded in this matter,
and upon the existence of a reasonable
doubt as to the sufficiency of the pres
ent military force, he vii take steps to
increase it. But before any effort is
made to raise more troops, the War
Department will see to it that the amp
lest camp facilities are provided and
that the equipment will be ready for
the men.
