rho cuban Consumption Ts the last
Elffnrt Of Despair.

WASHINGTON, April 80, 1895. -Secre-
tary Quesada of the Cuban Legation
here said today that General Blanco's
order conscripting Cubans between ages
Of Is and so in the Spanish Army showed
the dire extremity to which the Spanish
Commander was driven. Mr.. Quesada
said that up to this time the Spanish au-
thorities have not utilized the services of
a single Cuban company or regiment,
knowing that the Cubans were at heart
devoted to the cause of Cuba and would
the first opportunity turn their arms
against Spain, for this reason the vol
unteer forces at Havana and elsewhere,
he said, are recruited exclusively from
SDaniards.
raise Cuban conscripts will be futile and
such Cllbans as are forced to enlist un-
der the Spanish flag will find an oppor-
tunity to use their strength in the cause
of Cuba. The Cuban military authorities
attached to Mr.. Quesada's staff in WASH
ington express the same opinion They
ridicule the conscriptionz zof Cubans for
Spanish defense, saying that the danger
which has kept General Blanco from util-
izing these forces thus far will be cionbly
great now that the Cubans are aware the
United States has taken UP their cause.

the most popular of the leaders or the
Philippine insurgents is regarded as an
evidence that the Admiral relies largely
upon insurgent support to maintain ms
footing on the islands. If this be SO ne
would very likely avoid Manila, the capi-
tai, and seize first another port where the
insurgents are in greater strength ana
where there are no fortifications to over
come. While there is no doubt that one
of the objects Of Admiral Dewey is to
crush the Spanish squadron in the East
Indies as the most effective method of
protecting the important trade In terests
in that quarter, it is beyond doubt part
of his purpose to seize and hold port
suitable for use as coaling station
Notwithstanding the rumors that have
come from Europe of interference to pre-
vent the seizure of the Philippines or any
part of them by Americans. it is not to
be supposed for an instant that our Gov
ernment will abandon in any degree this
purpose. The coaling station is not only
desirable, but is absolutely necessary from
a naval point of view, unless the United
States is prepared to surrender all, COM
merce in American bottoms with Asia
and fully realizing this the naval officials
tered by European threats
Whether the station will be retained
after the war by the United States will
not now be determined. 1t is positively
asserted that up to this moment these
European menaces have taken no official
form and so far no protests have been
lodged with the State Department. II
any such should be made on diplomatic
reasons, it would not be hard for our
Government, by pointing to the whole
sale seizures of almost the major part
of the Chinese coast by the European
powers, to justify ourselves in seeking to
obtain at least SO much of foothoid
in that section OF the globs as would
suffice to give our warships safe home
port in time of stress and afford mod
crate degree of protection to our com
merce, which, In comparison with that
of some of the European powers who have
been most forward In their threats, is by
no means insignificant.
The State Department officials are more
amused than concerned by the report
from Madrid, originating with Captain
General Blanco that the Austrian and
French consuls at Matanzas have lodged
protest against the bombardment of
that place by Admiral Sampson. They say
in the first place there has been no bonn
bardment at that place and owing to the
distance that Matanzas lies away from
the fort at the entrance of the harbor,
the town itself never was in danger from
any of the few shots fired by the Ameri-
can warships.

POLICE BATTALION DRILLS.

The first drill Of the Police Battalion
was held in the Fourth Regiment Armory
yesterday afternoon. The two hundred
men who have been picked for service in
case of emergency were divided into four
companies of fifty men each. The COM
panies were commanded by Captains Nc

ty were present but took no part in the
drilling. On Monday next, when another
drill will be held they will command COM
panies. All the captains will have op-
portunity TO become familiar with the
drills. Chief Murphy yesterday put the
men through the simpler movements of
the infantry and manoeuvred them by
companies and battalion After he had
druinmed the infantry tactics into them
for about forty-five minutes he put them
through the riot and skirnlish drills. the

The British steamer Memnon, which has
just arrived here from Manila, capital OF
the Philippine Islands, reports having seen
the Spanish fleet cruising outside Manila.
She also met the British steamer Es-
meralda, chartered by the banking COM
ranies of this place, which is on her way
to Manila to take on board the specie
there She did not see any vessels Of the
United States fleet. The latter is sup
posed to be close in shore, trying to COM

to continuing on to Manila
If the report which are current here are
correct the United States feet has diff
ficult task to accomplish It is said that
the entrance of Manila Bay is command
ed by from fifty to sixty heavy guns, well
placed.
1t is added that it will be impossible
for the American warships to enter the
bay without battleships, or without the
cooperation of strong land force.
Therefore, it is believed Commodore Dew
ey will not attempt to force the entrance
into the harbor, but will blockade the
port until the insurgents move on Ma

Agents of the insurgents here are try
ing to charter a steamer, in expectation
Of being able to transport a force of in

capture the strong fortress of Cavite, in

ON BOARD THE FLAGSHIP NEW
YORK, April %, 1885. III A. M.3-(Via
Key West, Fla, April So)-The blockade
continues as before. The flagship now
lies to the westward of Havana
The torpedo boat Porter, while close
in shore last night is reported to have
been fred upon by the Cojima battery,
which is to the eastward of Morro Castle.
The plucky little Porter escaped un-
scathed.
The coast of Cuba is being carefully
patrolIed by the Spanish cavalry.
Captain Taylor of the Indiana came on
board the flagship today and had long
consultation with Rear Admiral Samp-
son.
News Of the movements of the United
States Army is eagerly awaited by the
feet, and there is much speculation as to
when the troops will be ready.
The weather, which is cool and calm.
could not be more suitable for military
operations.
While the Dauntless, despatch boat of
The Associated Press, was making her
way from Key West early this morning,
she was sighted by the flagship. The
lookouts on the New York were unable to
make out her identity, owing to the mist
and the distance which separated her
from the flagship, and q four-inch shell
was fired in her direction. 1t was not
aimed at the Dauntless, but was only
sent near enough to make her heave to.
The Dauntless, thinking she was being
fired at by a Spaniard, promptly put
about and steamed away. Then she was
recognized. and, a few minutes later, the
recognition became mutual and the
Dauntless ran alongside the New York.
Later she proceeded to Matanzas.
Learning that mines and earthworks
were being placed and built at Mariel in
the Province of Pinar del Rio, not far
from Havana, the flagship then moved
in that direction, accompanied by three
torpedo boats; but there were no signs
of movement at Mariel, and the flagship
proceeded to a point twenty-five miles
west of Havana. and about ten miles be-
yond Mariel. Those suspicious move
ments were observed ashore, probably
work on fortifications. Consequently, the
flagship fired three shots in that direc-
ton from one of her big guns The fir
ing, however, brought no response, and
the flagship returned to her station.
strict watch against possible tor
pedo attack is being kept on board the
flagship. All the available officers take
deck watches at night, including the
Chaplain, Paymasters Clerk and the As
sistant Surgeon.
The small craft captured by the Will
mington yesterday was only taken to
Key West because her crew we're MEM
bers of the Second Spanish Naval Re-
serve. 1t was thought also that they
might be members Of the crew of one of
the torpedo gunboats, for which vessels
very sharp lookout is being kept.

flagship at quite distance came the
Iowa. Indiana. Helena and Torpedo boats
Porter and Ericsson. But after Havana
was passed, where the Helena went in so
close that shot from MORO was mo-
mentarlly expected. the ships with the ex-
coption of the torpedo boats returned to
their station.
Under a full head of steam the flag
ship bowled along until Mariel was
reached. 1t was easy, from aboard the
despatch boat. without glasses. to see the
commotion which the presence of the
warships caused in the pretty little vii
lage.
The people rushed wildly about and
small boats quickly put in shore. But
there was no apparent life in either OF
the forts on the two hills that command
the approaches to the harbor. The Por-
ter steamed within half a mile of them.
and the New York swung leisurely at
anchor at a mile range.
After Admiral Sampson had surveyed
Mariel to his apparent satisfaction he sent
the flagship clipping merrily further UP
the coast
Again the flagship rode half a mile OFF
the forts, and the Porter and the Ericsson
pushed their way ahead Suddenly there
was a roar of heavy gun. puff of
smoke from the shore, and the little tor
pedo boat came scurrying back under the
lee of the flagship.
The officers and men disappeared from
the decks of the New York like magic,
and in less time than it takes to tell 1t,
one six-inch gun from her bow belched
forth. The evening was dying fast.
Quick, good work was necessary. An
other shot from the flagship, one more
from shore, and the fort guns We're 81
fenced. Three six-inch shells had suf-
feed.
Five more shots put quetus on the
fortifications. The first shot was fired at
$40. At 6:35 the New York let go two
six-inch shells, one at each fertilization
to complete the job. There was no an
swer from the shore.
Ten minutes later the flagship fired two
of her eight-inch turret guns, and the
shrieking shells left a trail of fire easily
seen in the dark shadows of the evening.
At this time the shore was hardly visible
and the New York put back to her sta
ton.
