Key west.M May 3l-The British steam

terday under her own steam by a prize
crew. She was captured while trying
to put into Santiago de Cuba with u
cargo OF coal. The steamer was bound
from Cardiff to Porto Rico. As the
Restormel came In the British flag was
flying half way down her mainmast.
She was leaking badly. According to
Lieutenant J. A. Patterson, who is In

no attention. but she hove to imme-

An interesting story remains to be
ID Of the reasons which led Cervera

was hemmed in. 1t is now known

news his plans were upset by the
ceipt Of dispatches telling him that
ear Admiral Sampson had lombard
the San Juan Notifications, and was
lll in the neighborhood of Porto
lco. Thereupon Cervesa sailed for
e south coast Of Cuba.
Commodore 'Schley lured the Span
fleet into Santiago by = ruse. By
. most clever maneuvering the CON-
pdore allowed the Spaniards to think
had left In disgust. They took the
lit and ran into the harhor. Com
pdore Schley moved down Sunday

On Sunday a story was published in
Madrid to the effect that naval battle
had been fought near Jamaica In which
two American warships were destroyed
and the remaining vessels Of the feet
forced to take refuge in Haytien waters.
Later reports, however. show that this
alleged Spanish victory was merely a
Spanish romance. The authorities at
Key West are looking for three Spanish
spies who attempted to blow up NOR
tar battery near Fort Taylor. United
States Consul williams declared at
Hong Kong his disbelief of the report
that Aontojo. the Spanish admiral who
fought 20 bravely against Dewey at
Manila, will be court martialed. Presi-
dent Faure. of France. declared in .
speech that France was determined to
maintain the strictest neutrality In the

1t was direct report from Commodore

feet was securely bottled up In Santi-
ago harboS. that he (Schley) had seen
a portion OF the feet. and that escape
was impossible. This report caused the
dispatch Of orders to our troops on
