The outrageous murder of Postmas-
ter Baker and his babe and the seri-
Gus wounding of his children has
stirred up the good people of this
country generally and the Afro Amer
leans particularly, as nothing else
which has occurred lately has done. It
is hoped God in his All Wise provi-
dence will bring much good out of a
very bad thing.

SKIRMISH AT SANTIAGO.
Tug Wampatuc Cuts n Cab1e-At-
tempt at Guantanamo

KEY WEST, FLA, May "a, II 80 P. NJ
The United States tug Wampatuc brought
in to-day story of sharp skirmish off
Santiago de Cuba last Wednesday. The
tug, with the auxiliary cruiser st. Louis,
went into the Santiago channel to cut the
cable. While the vessels were engaged In
the work they were fired on by the shore
batteries. The st. Louis returned the fire,
and lively fusillade ensued for about
half an hour. The Wampatuc eventually
succeeded in cutting the cable.
None Of the Spanish shots succeeded in
reaching either boat, while neither of
them, in turn, boasts Of having inflicted
any damage upon the enemy.
From Santiago the two ships proceeded
TO Guantanamo, the Wampatuc going in
about 400 yards from shore, to cut the
cables there. the st. Louis lying out of
range. The shore batteries again opened
fire, and the st. Louis signalled the tug
to come out. which she did, without
having cut the cable at that point. This
adventure was equally harmless.
Accounts of it -reached here to-day in a
grossly exaggerated form, including a re-
port that the cruiser and the little tug
had sllenced the Spanish batteries on
shore.

city. He is In search OF dispatches from
the American blockade feet 10 the NAVY
Department, and for communication
from spies. He AYERS that on her pre-
vious trip from Cienfuegos the Adula
brought mail from the United States
cruiser Marblehead. and he cites the
British neutrality laws, declaring that
official dispatches are contraband
The Colonial authorities, after inquiry
replied that no proof existed OF the ex-
istence of official dispatches from the
Marblehead. but only Of personal letters
from officers and men, which were ac-
cepted, as a mark OF courtesy. for mail

The Spanish Consul persisted In his de-
mand for the privilege OF examining all
packages brought by the steamer. and
the persons Of passengers. and the Colo

could not be allowed without proof of
necessity for the act.
