THERE'S NOTHING NEW But ALL SATISFACTORY FROM EVERY POINT
AFFAIRS IN CUBA.



KEY WEST, Fla, May 5.-The United
States despatch boat Leyden, sent to
Cuba early in the week.. returned this
morning with four of the six Cuban
scouts who left here last Monday. The
scouts landed, and communication was
established with the Insurgent forces
under General Pedro Delgado. The
Leyden was twice fred upon. She
bears bullet marks on her smoke stack.
The Spaniards who opened fire were
driven back by the Insurgents.
NEW YORK, May ga Key West
special says that the party that landed
in Santa Clara province, Cnba, was
fired upon by Spanish cavalry in am
bush, and that the Cuban land force
under General Diaz attacked the Span
ish, who were 200 strong. The Wis
mington shelled the enemy and they
were routed. The landing party, com.
prissd score or more agents OF the
Cuban Junta, the United States Com
missioner, and General Acosta, together
with cavalry horses, arms and ammu-
milton, for Accs.as cavalry troops in
the western part of Havana province.
1t Ia officially reported that none of
the Americans or the Cubans Of the
expedition were killed or wounded.

PUERTO RICO NEXT.
Indications Point to the Taking of This
Island, Destroying the Spanish
Base of Supplies.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Persons who
saw the President today assert there is
strong likelihood that Puerto Rico will
be in the hands of the United States
within 48 hours. The immediate seiz
ure of the island, they assert, has been
ordered, though direct confirmation is
lacking.
NEW YORK, May 5.-A special from
Kingston, Jamaica. asserts that official
dispatches passing through, report that
there has been an anti-Spanish uprising
in Puerto Rico, and the revolutionary
movement is well under way.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Senatar Bur-
rows, after seeing the President, said:
Everything is moving along smoothly
and well. What we want now is
Puerto Rico. We ought to have
that tomorrow.

Scout Duty.

PHILADELPHIA, May 5.-The auxil-
iary cruiser st. Paul with Captain
Sigshee on the bridge, left Cramps
shipyard this morning and steamed
down the Delaware river, to League
Island navy yard. On the shore crowds
were congregated, cheering as the St.
Paul majestically sailed down. The
st. Paul's stay at League Island will be
only long enough to take aboard her
ammunition. 1t is believed she will
do scout duty along the middle At>
lantic coast.
PHILADELPHIA, May 5.-Contrary to
announcement at Cramps shipyard
that the st. Paul would stop at the
League Island Navy Yard, for am
muniti on, the big cruiser proceeded
straight down the Delaware river and
anchored at deep water point, near
New Castle, Del. 1t is presumed that
the St. Paul will take on ammunition
in Delaware Bay, off Bombay Hook at
the same time she receives coal.
The alleged Spanish spy, caught on
the st. Paul, was put ashore Just before
the cruiser sailed. The evidence
against him was net deemed sufficient

NO NEWS FROM DEWEY.
Reasons why this Country has not Heard
From Its Victorious Admiral.

WARRINGTON, May 5.-0fiiclals have
about concluded there is little prospect
of receiving news from Commodore
Dewey directly during the day, though
there is possibility that merchant
vessel may reach Hong Kong from the
Philippines, bringing some news of the
battle and the subsequent events ut
Manila. The cable is believed to be
cut somewhere between it's landing
place in the island of Luzon, Point
Bolinao, and the City of Manila. This
would be beyond the reach of Conn
modore Dewey. Presuming that the
dispatch boat sailed at the earliest
moment after the bombardment, Mon
day evening, aud allowing three days
for the passage, the ship is not due in
Hong Kong or Mrs Bay until tonight.
1t is already night by our time at either
place. Delays would occur before the
receipt of the cable here, through many
relay stations. So it is thought there
is little chance of official news coming
in during daylight hours.
WASHINGTON, May A. = Despite
hourly expectation of official dispatch
from Commodore Dewey via Hong
Kong, there were no important advlces
at the White House up to II o'clock.
Read Together.
VALLEJO, Cal, May Sit is asserted
here that Admiral Kirkland has re-
ceived q cipher telegram from Wash
ington, stating that 200 men had been
killed and wounded on the Baltimore
during the battle of Manila.
LONDON, May 5.-The Eastern Tele--
graph Company says: Neither Presi-
dent Mckinley nor any one else has
received any message from Commodore
Dewey.
VALLEJO, CAL, May 5. - Admiral
Kirkland stated to an Associated Press
correspondent this morning, that the
story that he received message from
the Navy Department at Washingt ton
that 200 men had been killed on the
cruiser Baltimore, was untrue.

NO KNOWLEDGE POSSIBLE.
The Navy Department. Keeps the Move
ments Of Fleets Absolutsly In
the DARK.

WASHINGTON, May mo confirma-
tion is obtainable of the various reports
concerning the movements of Admiral
SIMPSONS feet. Persons who from
their official position might be sup
posed to share the confidence of the
Administration are credited with the
statement that the Admiral has gone
to seize Puerto Rico 1t is asserted
with almost equal positiveness that the
fleet has gone to meet the Oregon and
bring her safely north.
Still another report is to
the effect that the Admiral
has gone to seize Matanzas, to be used
as base of operations. Officials re-
fuse absolutely to make public the
plan of the strategy board.
A significant movement is the ad-
dition of the warship New Orleans
to Commodore Schley's squadron at
Hampton Roads, in place of the Coz
lumbia. Without being as speedy as
when first organized, Schley's squad
ron is probably now able 10 meet on
even terms at least, the formidable
Spanish armored cruisers which sailed
from Cape Verde Islands for an un-
known destination. 1t is possible
that Schley is about to start in quest
OF the Spanish squadron.
FEARS FOR DEWEY.
CHICAGO, May 5.--A special. to the
Journal from Washington says that
the fear that Dewey may be bottled up
in Manila harb0r, is gaining ground
The entrance to Manila bay isthrough
a channel planted with mines. Dewey
passed over these silently in the night,
and no opportunity was given the
Spaniards to fire them. Now, If he has
not forced the surrender of the city
and thus gained control of the switch>
board used in firing the submerged
explosives, any attempt to leave the
harbor by any of the ships composing
The Asiatic Squadron, would be met by
an attack from the mines.

good ships which can take the Oregon

An Amusing Farce.

HAVANA, May 81 The recently
elected Cuban deputies assembled yes
terday to effect an organization.
HAVANA, May 5.-The Cuban Con-
gress, elected under autonomy to gov
ernment, was formally opened today,
with great ceremony. Captain General
Blanco made speech in which he said
that if the declarations of the United
States have been sincere, its guns to-
day ought be saluting the first Cuban
Parliament, instead of threatening the
lives of the members.

Thoroughly Indignant.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Officials of
the Navy Department are thoroughly
indignant at the stories coming from
San Francisco. as authentic accounts Of
the engagements of Commodore Dewey
at Manila. Captain Crowninshield,
chief of the Navigation Bureau, de-
clared it impossible for news from the
feet to come in any such fashion. and
added that the departments facilities
for the receipt Of information from
Dewey's squadron, were superior to
those OF any individual.

Government.

LONDON, May 5.-A letter just re-
ceived from Madrid, says General
Weyler and Senior Romero y Robledo.
former minister of justice, are bound
to come to the front, as the military
furOte has taken possession Of the ma
tion and the Spanish dynasty as well
as the present government is doomed.
MADRID, May 5.-Troops are held in
barracks ready to march against the
mob or revoiutionists. Cavalry and
infantry patrol the streets from night
fall to sunrise. All public buildings
are crowded with foot and mounted
police. The chief fear Is of popular
revolution, which everybody can SEQ is
brewing.
RIoTING INCREASING.
MADRID, May 5.-Eight thousand
striking miners made tumultous
demonstration at MurcIa, capital of the
province of that name. They shou ted
death to thieves!' "Down with
taxes!" and attempted to fire the rail-
road depot and other buildings. Then
began movement towards Car
thagens. A strong force of troops
prevented the rioters from moving on
the port. A large number of men
were wounded.
Disturbances are also threatened at
Carthagena, where martial law has
been proclaimed. Similar scenes oc-
Cured at Oviedo and Leon and other
towns, where factory hands have
struck work. Strikers are parading,
demanding cheap bread and stoning
houses. Steps taken by the authorities
resulted in restoration of peace at
Malaga, where the British steam yacht,
Lady of Clemell, was recently stoned
and driven out of the harbor. 1t ap-
pears that the Malaga mob thought it
was an American vessel.
FAMINE AS WELL.
MADRID, May 5.-A bill was intro
duced in the Cortes to prohibit the ex-
portation of corn, -four rye, maised,
potatoes and FRUITS and suppressing
the duty on the importation of those
articles 1t is intended to checkmate
spectators who, owing to the enormous
premium on exchange, now Ill per
cent, commenced immense expectations
of produce, for which they negotiated
bills in foreign markets. These ex-
ports created the scarcity of food,
which is largely responsible for the
rioting throughout Spain.
If national feelings run too high
against Seniors Sagasta and Moret,
who really are in the most danger, the
Queen probably will ask Marshal Cam
pos for government for the defense
of the monarchy. The disturbances
caused by high prices and scarcity OF
food continue in the provinces today
There have been frequent conflicts be-
tween the rioters and the civil guards
and shootings are reported from various
points. At Barcelona, there has been
a renewed run on the bank, holders
demanding silver.

GOVERNMENT APPROVAL OF THE
EXPERIMENT STATION,

The United States department of ag-
riculture is authorized to supervise
the work Of the agricultural experiment
stations of the country. In an elaborate
report published by the government,
DR.. A. c. True reviews the work of
each Of the stations in the year ending
June 80, 1897, severely criticising the
policy and management Of a number
Of them. Few stations are more highly
commended than is that of Oklahoma.
The report says:
The Oklahoma station has made
definite progress in organizing its work
on useful lines and within proper
limits. The addition to it's staff of we'll
trained officers has enabled the station
to perform more efficient service. and
the reelection Of the same staff gives
promise Of making the station more
stable and successful. The field work
OF the station has been greatly i'm
proved and a definite division of COL
lege and station grounds has been
made. The station funds have been
economically expended in accordance
with the terms of the law. - 1t is
hoped that this station will hereaft
be able to maintain a, consistent ana
permanent policy, and thus render
of increasing value to the ag-
riculture of Oklahoma.
