SITUATION IN SPAIN.

New York. May PA dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says:
The situation in Spain is more serious
than II is generally said to be- Black
clouds are gathering over the peninsula
and II will be impossible to avoid the
storm which will burst with terrible ef-
feet and sweep away everything in its
path. That is the impression have found
after stopping here nearly a month and
after numerous conversations with highly
placed personages belonging to the court,
the government ana parliament, and with
tradesmen, middle class people and the
masses. When Spanlards are spoken OF,
prominence is always given to the sincere
patriotism which supports and animates
them under the existing circumstances.
do not mean TO deny the patriotism of the
Spanish. but it must not be vaunted to
excess for in Madrid, for example the
tuctuatoins of the war interest has been
less than the next bull fight or the draw
ing of the national lottery. But the ques-
zion which will evidently cause the revo-
lutionary movement of which | have
spoken IS that of bread. The bread ques-
ton has already led to conflicts in some

REPORTS ARE DENIED

Washington, May 2l-Thero was lapse
Into sensational war rumors In Washing
ton today, after week of comparative
quIctude,
Tho rumors ranged all the way from
the capture OF the uttlc Mangrove, with
her crew of twelve men, TO the reported
destruction ot the entire Spanish fleet
by SIMPSONS and Schley's combined
forces, They were circulated with per-
slstancc, Notwithstanding their denial as
soon as they could be- brought to the at
tonuon or any official capable Of passing
Judgment on their accuracy At the close
OF tho day, however tt was again am
nounced In the most positive manner that
the navy department had no Information
TO warrant a report OF any sort OF an
engagement in the Wmdward passage,
This did not specifically cover the waters
of the West Indies. but IN view of the
fact that the department has almost
pledged itself TO let the public know OF
anything in the nature OF general en-
g0gcmcnt, possibly the bulletin announce
mcnt Is sufficient to cover the case
When Secretary Long started for homo,
after an exceptional day, he stated to u
group of newspaper men that the depart
mcnt had received no notification of inn
portancc, In response to an inquiry as to
where tho Spanish fleet was located, Long
replied that his belief was that 1t was
still at Santiago de cuba. Concerning the
reported capture of tho Mangrovc and the
loss of other ships, tho secretary dismiss
ed these stories as purely conjecu0l and
not supported 10y facts. Word had come
from the commander of the Mangrove the
same time as the alleged capture, showing
that the ship coud not have been in the
hands of the Spaniards
The Spanards appear to be making
ready for something more than de-
fenslvo campaign at home, or at least they
are trying to create that impression by
other means than the news bulletins that
they issue almost daily from Madrid, The
navy department now has by Its own re-
liable sources reports of the greatest ac-
tivity in the Spanish navy yards and pre-
parations for sea and long voyage OF

SMALL BUT LIVELY ENGAGEMENT

Key Wost, Nav 2L-tl:5o p. m.-rhe
United States auxiliary tug Waumpatuck
brought IN today story of a sharp sklr-
mish of Santiago de cuba last Wednes-
day
The Tug with the auxiliary cruiser St.
Louis Went into the Santiago channel to
cut the cable, While the vessels were
engaged IN the work tney were fired on
by the shore batteries, The ST. Louis re-
turned the fire and lively fusiade en-
sued for half an hour. Tho Waumpatuck
eventually succeeded in cutting the cable.
None of the Spanish shots hit either
boat, while neither of the boats in turn
inflicted any damage on the enemy.
From Santiago the two ships proceeded
to Guantanamo, the Waumpauck going
on about four hundred yards from the
shore to cut the cao,e there, the st. Louis
lying out of range, The shore batteries
opened fire and the ST. Louis slgnaled
to tho tug to come out. which she did
without having cut the cable at that point.
This adventure was equally harmless.
