tine ISLAND PEOPLE ARE ANGRY

Yesterday the two bridge companies

to so Into effect on next Monday, May

rcetly for Island residents who use the
bridge frequently enough o<invest in
the quarterly Sc dollar ticket, vet indl-
rectiy there IS an advance, and as a con-
sequence the average Island man IS in
an unhappy state Of mind this morning,
which VII DE increased when the new
rates become effective,
The. new rates are as follows:
One person, either sex, on foot or BIZ
clcye. J cents; two bridges. s cents; one
person. round trip on one bridge, s cents:

Quarterly foot books will be issued to
Island residents, and each purchaser
will record at the bridge Office the
names OF the female members Of his
family and his children, for whom he
will be given free tickets, which enti-
tie them to free passage. The quarter
ly book is to be sold for 81.
One horse and vehicle, per 100 tickets.

One horse and buggy, per 100 tickets,
81 60.
Children under six years Of age; ac-
companied by parents Of guardian, will
not be charged toll.
The rate for single trips has been ad-
vanced from n cent TO three cents
this compels men, who have heretofore
found it cheaper to pay for each trip,
10 Invest in the quarterly book. Then
there Is the registration Of the female
members Of the purchasers families.
This Is said to have been brought about
by the practice Of Island men who pat
ronized the yacht ferry. while the "wo-
men folks went free on the bridges. By
the new arrangement families OF men
who don't use the bridges will have to
pay. The new rates are also said to
have been FASTENED by the new yacht
ferry, which is soon to be started by
Thomas Wilson from the upper end Of
the wharf to the foot Of Ohio street.
It is not known that any united action
will be taken by the Islanders.

MARIETTA REACHES KEY WEST

Key West, June $3.50 a. m: The
United States gunboat Marietta, COM
mander +. NJ. Simmons. arrived mere at
I:30 o'clock this morning from San Fran
cisco. which port she left on March IS.
The trip was uneventful and there was
not even a case Of sickness on board
Much OF the voyage was made in com
pany with the battleship Oregon ard the
first question of the Marietta's officers
was as to the Oregon's whereabouts.
After the Marietta passed Cape Horn
she kept a sharp lookout for the Span
ish torpedo gunboat Temerario, which was
supposed 10 be hunting for the Oregon.
The Marietta's officers were very anxious
10 meet the Spaniard. and they say if a
meeting had taken place she would have
surely sunk her. During the entire voy-
age they sighted only half dozen ships
The Marietta left Rio Janeiro on May g.
The men on board had heard no war news
later than the first bulletin of Rear Ad-
mlEal Dewey's victory at Manila.
The Marietta anchored on her arrival
here and hoisted a flag for a doctor.
Pending his arrival no one was allowed TO
leave rcome aboard the vessel and the
of the Associated Press
shouted brief summary of the war news
TO the officers. the report OF which caused
much laughing and rejoining.
The Marietta is painted black Her
course was through Providence Channel
and she saw no warships in West Indian
waters

CAN'T LOSE THE STRATEGISTS

Washington June TT is now known
that the navy department about ten days
ago was considering plan for closing
the harbor at Santiago very similar in
general scope to that apparently put into
execution yesterday. 1t was proposed TO
get two large hulke or scows and fill
them with big boulders such as could be
easily obtained in the neighborhood of
New York. These were to be dashed to
either side Of tug and run into the har-
boz and at the proper point were to be
scuttled. Provisions were 10 be made for
the safety of the crew by attaching TO the
tug a torpedo stern foremost. At the
proper moment the crew was to go on
board the torpedo boat, scut9le the hulks
van electrical continuance and cutting
loose from the llulks, make a rush for lib-
erty and the open sea. There are signs
that yesterdays project was a develop
ment of this idea. Probably the plan of
taking in scows was rejected because
could not waste valuable time in
waiting for such craft to be. brought from !
the United States.

| Wanda. via Kingston. Jamaica. June A.
The last cable strands binding Cuba 70
the outside world were cut this afternoon
b. Gale vessel conveyed here bv the
United States dispatch boat Dolphin. This
black sea crab delved all day along the
coast, hour by hour, and its powerful
claws al length brought up the barnac;e-
clustered cable strands and snapped them
and tonight Cuba IS wholly isolated
The first cable picked up was that run
ming TO Kingston. II was found early this
morning. The coast loop connecting SAN
tiago and Guantanamo was then cut, Pro-
ceeding TO guantanamo. the cable vessel
finally grappled and severed the Haytieu
ca Bile.
This ends the cable cutting operations
begun month ago. when the Mar5lehead
and the Window lost five men IA a fight
off Clenfregos. where three cables were
crippled and several hundred Spaniards
were killed by shells from the warships.
Afterwards the St. Louis and the VAN |
pat tuck cut the San Juan de Porto Rico
cable al Santiago.
The strands cut today were the only |
ones remaining, except a few loops and |
these will probably be severed In a short |
time
The cutting OF these cables IS almost as
serious for the Spaniards in coast towns
as the cutting OF foreign cables the land
wires connecting the coast towns being
wholly at the mercy of the Insurgents
Therefore in the event o! American troops
landing in Cuba. the absence OF the coast
loops will seriously interfere with the
