He reproached her with being foreigner
and unpopular, and with interfering un-

compared her present position with that

FRENCH revolution. A majority OF the

open sea, the other vessels following
her. That night was over as far as the
Americans were concerned. Spanish
honor, however, demanded that further
destruction Of gunpowder be made. and
the ships doomed and the batteries
roared long after the American vessels
were entirely out OF range. The affair
soon became ludicrous. as nearly all OF
the Spanish shells fell two TO three miles
from the vessels at which they were
aimed.
Worse gunnery was never seen. One
lusty man with a basket OF brickbats
would be capable OF as much destruc-
tion as the Spaniards seemed capable OF
creating. Not an american vessel was
struck and not sailor injured, although
fully 800 shots were fired by the Span
iards. the Americans firing not over one

THE KELLERT CASE.


Montreal. June 3.-The continuance OF
the case OF Detective Kellert for the sup
posed purloining OF a letter BELONGING to
Lieutenant Carransa was mainly In
teresting because II threw some ad-
ditional light on the doings of the Span
iards. Mr. Du Bose was one OF the
witnesses. and his testimony brought out
that from the first Saturday after they
arrived in Montreal the Spaniards had
virtually four headquarters-the Wind
sor, where most OF the party were stay
ing; the house at AZ Upper street. where
Du Bose was staying; the consul gen.

the bank Of Montreal. TO which all of

throw but little light on the case itself,
and IL looks as IL IL will fall through.

nounces that the Mantea, small vessel

The understanding at the war depart
ment is that up to this time none OF the
troops of the regular army, which 1t was
announced would sail this week, have
actually left the United States. and the
officials express their ignorance Of the
time when the embarkation is to take

securing peace. but It is not believed this
will meet any active assistance from the
great powers. AS leading diplomat
said, Spain finds herself in the same con-
dition of isolation that France was In In
1901. At that time Mr.. Theirs. after
ward president. went from capital to
capital seeking to secure the co-opera-
tion Of Europe with France, but his mis-
sion was failure. The mission of Cas-
tillo 10 said to be like that OF Thiers. and
the diplomatic officials believe 1t will
meet with the same fate. 1t is known
that Spain has counted most on arousiay
the active interest of France, but II has
been unsuccessful. The French officials
here have not heard Of any negotiations
for many weeks past. indicating that the
authorities at Paris have not taken up
the propositions Of Castillo for interven-
tion In behalf Of peace.
