DEPARTS FOR KEY WEST.
Significant Movement of a Member of GEN
eral Shafter's staff.

Tampa, Fla, May 5.-The steamer
Olivette, which has been lying at the
docks at Port Tampa with banked fires
for several days, sailed suddenly for
Key West. On board were Lieutenant
Colonel w. Fl. Lawton of General Shaft
er's staff, inspector general of the
southwestern district and Commodore
Watson. On account of the near ap-
proach of the time when the United
States troops will be called upon to eff
feet landing in Cuba, and the fact
that Colonel Lawton is on General
Skaters staff a good deal of sgnif-
canoe is attached to the department.
1t is supposed that Colonel Lawton's
trip is for the purpose OF gathering all
the information possible as to the
movements of the Spanish fleet and the
disposition of the Spanish forces In
Cuba. A conference probably will be
held at Key West with the command
ers Of the American fleet at which a
plan of cooperation with the United
States war vessels will be arranged
and all the details as to conveys and
protection agreed upon.

WE WANT PORTO RICO.
And Wen Have 1t Soon, Says Senator Bur-
rows of Michigan.

Washington, May 5.-There were
many conferences between the presi-
dent and senators and representatives
The first conner was Senator Burrows
Of Michigan, who presented some
friends to the president. AS he left he
said:
Everything Is moving along smooth
ly and WE'LL What we want now is
Porto Rico. We ought to have that
tomorrow"
Twill it be as soon as that, senator?''
EYES," was the response, probably
In day or two"
Though he did not say what happened
during his interview with the president,
his declaration that the seizure of Porto
Rico is expected in a day or two was
thought by his hearers to be significant,
having been made Immediately after
the senator left the president, though
he would not say the president had CIV
en- him any information.
Despite the hourly expectation of an
official dispatch from Commodore Dew
ey, via Hong Kong, there were no i'm
portant advices at the White House up
to II o'clock. Persons who were with
the president during the day assert that
there is strong likelihood that Porto
Rico will be in the hands of the United
States within forty-eight hours. The
immediate seizure of the island, they
assert, has been ordered, though direct
confirmation is lacking.

SHOOTING AND LOOTING.
Serious Disturb 'ncrs Continue in the
spanish Provinces.

Madrid, May 5.-The disturbances
caused by the high price and scarcity
of food continue in the Spanish prov
inces. There have been frequent con-
flicts between the rioters and the civil
guards, and looting and shooting are
reported from various points. At Bar
celona there has been a renewed run
on the bank, the holders of notes de-
handing silver.
The bill introduced in the cortes to
prohibit the expectation of corn, flour,
rye, maize, potatoes and fruits and sup
pressing the duty on the importation
of these articles, is intended to check
mate the spectators who, owing to the
enormous premium on exchange, now
Ill per cent, commenced immense ex-
portations of produce, against which
they negotiated bills in foreign mar
kets. These exports have created the
scarcity of food, which is largely re-
sponslble for the roting throughout
Spain.
Admiral CaTamara will take command
OF the Cadiz fleet on Friday. The gov
ernmeut is greatly disappointed at the
length Of the debate in the cortes.

NO NEWS FROM DEWEY
Washington Officials Fear He Is
in a Trap.
HE MAY BE HELD in MANILA BAY

If the Commodore Has Not Taken the
count of the Submarine Mines-Con-
hicting Reports at Washington Concern
ing the Movements OF Admiral Samp-
sons Squadron-Porto Rico To He Taken
Washington, May 5.-President Nc
Kinley and Secretary Long had a con-
sultation early in the morning. Both
are worried about Dewey. They think
he should have been heard from before
this. They fear he may be bottled up
in Manila harbor. This impression is
gaining ground in administration cir
cles and at the navy department. 1t is
recollected that the entrance to Manila
bay is through a channel planted with
mines. Dewey passed over these ST.
lently in the night and no opportunity
was given the Spaniards to fire them;
now, If he has not forced a surrender
Of the city and gained control of the
switchboard used in firing the sub
merged explosives, an attempt to leave
the harbor by any one of the ships
composing the Asiatic squadron would
be met with an attack from the mines.
Would Not Risk a Ship.
1t is believed that Dewey would not
risk a ship for the purpose of sending
his report to Washington. He can not
afford to deprive himself of his
strength. Considerable apprehension is
felt in naval circles at the probability
of massacre of Spaniards in Manila
by the insurgents, who, it is believed,
aided Commodore Dewey in the capt
ure Of the city. Oppressed as they
have been by the Spaniards, the officers
say they have no doubt that as soon
as they had the chance they would at
tempt retaliation.
Commodore Dewey" said one of
these gentlemen, will undoubtedly re-
quest the commanding officers of the
British German and French men-of-
war to land marines to protect property
of their respective citizens.
In Possession of America.
$50 far as Manila is concerned l
have not the slightest doubt that it is
in the possession of the American force.
Manila proper was protected by wall
erected 300 years ago, and this wall
was fortified by some Anticipated guns.
Having placed Cavite under his guns,
the rest of the work.. mean by this
the capture of the cityAwas a compare
lively easy task, and without doubt it
was successfully performed by the

HAVANA PANIC-sTRICKEN.
Escape of an American from Cuba with
Important Intelligence.

Important Intelligence.
Key West. Fla, May 5.-Detailed
news of Havana was furnished Admiral
Sampson by Charles Thrall, a govern
ment spy, who has just returned from
the blockaded city. Thrall is now
aboard the New York, after a thrilling
escape from the city. Havana, he says,
Is in q continuous state Of panic From
the hour Admiral Simpsons fleet APP
peared off MORO Castle the water front
has been crowded during the days and
nights by anxious citizens, who fear an
attack. Food prices are so enormously
high, Thrall says, that only the rich
can buy provisions. Meat is SO pound,
and Spanish paper money has declined
to one-third its former value.
The most valuable information
brought by Thrall is of the forts and
defenses. On the Riena battery, he
says, hundreds Of men are working
night and - in the erection of sand
parapet. A few small guns in all Of the
batteries have been mounted and ready
for attack, but no big ordnance has been
or will be placed as long as the siege
continues. The people of Havana are
very restless and General Blanco has
issued orders for merchants to decorate
their shops and for bands to play in
the parks, in a hopeless endeavor to
raise the fast dropping spirits Of the
people.
According to Thrall, the majority Of
the people believe the Spar ish arms will
be successful, misleading kilograms be-
ing posted about the city to foster this
belief. Spaniards state that there are
100000 soldiers in Havana, but Thrall
says there are actually less than 100000
