that of the Gussie last week, until the
success of the expedition has been assured
by the return OF the boat. Army officers

and supplies with which the Gussie was
stored, In the hands of the insurgents
They believe that, had not such wide pub
licity been given the affair, the chances
for success would have been much greater.
1t had been arranged by captain Dorst
that the insurgents should meet the expe-

the fact that the news of the contemplated
departure of the Gussie was published al

HAVANA, May H.-(Copyrighted, 1898,
by the Associated Press) Inquiries made
at the palace here show that Captain Gen
eral Blanco was unwilling to receive Lieu
tenant Brainerd, U. S. NJ, the special
agent of the government of the United
States, in the matter of the proposition 10
exchange Spanish prisoners for the two
newspaper men, Messrs. Thrall and Jones,
because the general considered the lieuten-
ant was not empowered with sufficient
authority. Therefore he simply accepted
the documents presented by the lieutenant
and consulted with the Spanish govern
ment on the subject. The answer from
Madrid has not yet been received.
On Sunday morning the day reports If
the United States government arrived of
this harbor on small steamer bearing n
flag of truce. There were five American
vessels in sight of Havana and four OF
them were in sight the same afternoon. In
addition, a vessel supposed to be Nor
wegian frigate was in the of1ng. Yester-
day morning there were five American
vessels in sight of this harbor. The French
cruiser Dubourdieu left Havana yesterday
afternoon for Hayti having on board d
number of French refugees.
The Spaniards say that an American
force attempted landing on May 10 at Ia
BILE Aqua beach and that after two hours
firing the Americans retired.
Three American warships were reported
OF Madrid on Sunday. three were sighted
