The officials had before them a list of between fifteen and twenty ves- sels, whose home port is on the Pa cif1c Coast, and were making prepara- ports. Their aggregate capacity is more than ample for the purposes Of the Government. Should all be se- cured the War Department will be able to send cavalry troops to the Philip pines In case this is deemed necessary. The assignment of one battalion of in- fantry, two batteries of light artillery and one troop of cavalry-Utahs ap- portionment of troops for the national defense-is taken to indicate that some of them will be sent to Manila If the original programme is adhered to the volunteers to be sent to re-enforce Ad- miral Dewey will include the follow ing, with the possible exception of the artillery and the rif1emen, two regi- ments of infantry and two batteries of heavy artillery from California, one regiment of infantry from Oregon, one from Washington and one bat talion of infantry and Senator Shoup's troop of rif1emen.

ENCOUNTERED A
 TORPEDO-BOAT AT SEA.
Fog Probably Saves the Warren Line Steamer From Being
 Captured

NEW YORK, May s.-A Boston special to the Herald says: The War ren line steamer Roman, which arrived from Liverpool this morning, reported that she encountered a strange war ship, believed to be Spanish torpedo boat, off Sable Island, last Friday. Captain Roberts, the commander, says that about noon the second mate re- ported that he had sighted a rakish craft about four miles off the steamers s beam. The Roman was then seventy miles southeast from Sable Island, about 600 miles due east from Boston. Captain Roberts made her out to be a torpedo-boat, sharp and low at both ends, with two tunnels close together. She had no masts. The weather was quite hay, and it was impossible to discern the color of her hull. She showed no flag, evidently endeavoring to conceal her nationality. She was steaming at the rate of twelve knots an hour, about the same speed as the Roman, and continued in the same di rection fer fully half an hour after she was sighted by the Romans second of f1cer, apparently gaining slightly on the Roman. A thick fog gNthen settled over the ocean and the torpedo-boat was lost to view. Pilot Lawler, who brought in the Roman, notified Cap tain Sands of the Columbia, and he sent one of his lieutenants to the Ro- man for full particulars to report to Washington.

 ST. THOMAS, D. w. l., May 9.-A four-masted Spanish cruiser bore down upon the Herald-Call dispatch steamer about ten miles from San Juan, Porto Rico, to-day. We were going south and when our signals were displayed she turned eastward, steaming off at a rate of about sixteen knots. The aux Hilary cruiser Yale, ' hich was lowering in the distance. followed her for about two hours She was last seen in Vir- gin passage.
 The Spanish cruiser Isabella II touched at the cable station at St. Thomas early in the morning and after communicating with the Spanish Con- sul sailed away to the westward, prob ably joining the other Spanish war ships on the south coast of Porto Rico
 The Yale has circled the island. but has not seen another American war ship since she left the United States. Lieutenant Key boarded the Herald Call dispatch steamer to-day The of f1cers of the Yale are anxious to get news of the Spanish fleet, which is ex- pected to arrive here at any hour
 St. Thomas is wild with excitement. light was seen outside the harbor at midnight last night, which was believed to be that of a warship. The Herald Call dispatch boat went out and found that the light came from a tramp steamer.

GENERAL NUNEE
 SUCCESSFUL MISSION.
Returns After Landing a Party to Join the Cuban h.
 SurgentS.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Major-Gen- eral Nunez of the Cuban army arrived here last night on his return from landing a party in Cuba. This land ing was made about two weeks ago, after conferences between General Nu- neg, General Miles and Senor Quesada, the Cuban delegate, and was for the purpose of opening up communication with Generals Garcia and Gomez. After a brief conference with MT. Quesada, General Nunez left for New York, where he will make a report to President Palma. The results of his trip are guarded with much care by the Cuban officials here, who deem it inexpedient to discuss what General Nunez did. It is said, however, that his party found no difficulty in estab- fishing communication with the Gu ban commanders in the island. It is understood that General Nunez will continue organizing parties of Cubans to go to the front, and will have com mand of the United States forces other wise than those in the field under Gar cia and Gomez.

Record over the long distance tele- phone yesterday that the article in question was manufactured from about 800 words of a cablegram which the Record permitted the Journal to have on Saturday, as a matter of courtesy, on the express understanding that 1t was not to be published until this morning.
 The rest of the article. MT. Carvalho said, was made up of a patchwork from various sources. The name of the Records staff correspondent was signed to this mess of stuff simply be- cause he was known to have wit messed the battle. The Record. which gets it's cablegrams at cable rates. leaves the honest American public to judge of the merits of such Journalism.

Spain in less than about 60 days at best
TRANSFORMATION of PrisOners.


This estimate is based on the fact that
1t is not expected by the Spanish au-
thorities who are directing the move
ments of the Spanish troop transports
that they will be able to return all of
the Santiago prisoners to Spain before
the LIST of September. Therefore, what
Is meant by the word Immediately" is
That the Spanish government shall at
least begin the arrangements at once
Tor the evacuation of the islands.
On the whole, it is a rather fortunate
circumstance that this evacuation can
not take place en- masse and Immediate
~ for 1t has been determined that the
Spanish troops withdrawn must be re-
placed by United States troops. This is
deemed to be absolutely necessary to
guard against anarchy and to secure
the establishment of a stable form of
government in Cuba under proper con-
stitutional guarantees, but in all proba-
plllty not many Of them will have to go
there before the present rainy season
has neared it's end.

their way up through our granite hills
to East Barre, Washington and Granite
vile? 1t has been suggested that ro-
mantle place for picnic ground would
be near the high clay bank beyond the
East Barre Spring House and there are
many other delightful spots which
might be used for such purposes. More
over, if it should be practicable for the
railroad company TO buy up these spots
they would have no trouble in naming
them from Vermont heroes for they
would have a long list 10 select from.
