City Court

Recorder Joe Murphy had on the
ermine this morning at the city
court. Marshal Casey and his dep
uties had five men in the bottle,
and unlike Schley, they could get
at the contents by a big key they
carried before they placed them in
there. Three white men and two
negroes faced the recorder, all
charged with being vagrauts. The
white men we're given a trial first.
The police related how they had
found them asleep in box cars and
how they failed to give an account
that would wash, as to their being
there. Recorder Murphy fined each
81 and cost. They we're relegated
to the Culley chain gang. The two
negroes were next tried. The re-
corder fined one of them five dollars
and the other ten, and they will
also be sent TO camp CuIleY to crush
rock. Our police are vigilant and
"Vags," " both foreign aud homespun,
had better get to work for them
selves, or else the city will work
them on the streets.

WASuISGroN, May l3.-Oficial advices
were received THIS morning by Secretary
of the Navy Long from Martinique,
Windward Islands, that the Spanish
squadron had been sighted to the west
ward of that island. Martinique is about
GOO miles in the southerly direction
from San Juan, Porto Rico, where the
American squadron under Admiral
Sampson was in action yesterday.
The Spanish vessels off Martinique
compose the formidable squadron re-
Gently collected at the Cape Verde
Islands, and which sailed from there in
westwardly direction two weeks ago
today.
Upon receipt OF this information Secre-
tary Long ordered Commodore Schley,
at Hampton Roads, to put to sea at once
with the Flying Squadron, and it will
sail today. While its destination is not
known, it is believed that the squadron
has been sent in pursuit of the Spanish

Commodore Simpsons fleet, which
has Just bombarded San Juan, Porto
Rico, is expected to meet the enemy
probably within twenty-four hours.
1t is learned that the Spanish fleet was

before yesterday off the north coast of
Martinique, and was again sighted
