BAIT FOR OUR SHIPS
spaniards Repeat Their Old Ruses at
Havana
Try to Lure Our Cruisers Within
Range of the Heavy Guns
Shore.

KEY WEST, Fla, June 14.--Captain Gen
eral Blanco has apparently not yet aban-
doned the hope of Turing the American
warships within range Of the Havana bat-
teries He tried it again on Frday morn
ing last, but with no better success than il
his previous attempts
Advices received here today are to the ef-
feet that five Spanish ships ran out to the
mouth of Havana harbor on the day men
toned and headed i'll an easterly direction.
The vessels of the bloekading squadron We're
lying well off shore, the nearest not being
closer than 1000 yards. Upon sighting the
Spaniards they ran in a short distance and
opened fire them.
The volley of shot and shell brought no
response from the enemy but the quintet
of ships speedily turned and, hugging the
shore, under the batteries, ran back into
the harbor. The American ships how
ever, did not accept the bait and made no
further attempt to molest them. The char
acter of the Spanish boats could not be
positively fixed on account of the distance
but the American officers who participated
in the affair say one or two were small
eunboats Of the class which has been ma
neuvering all along the north coast in fu-
tile efforts to draw the American ships
within the fra CT the Spanish batteries.
Yesterday afternoon three of the Havana
batteries, the Santa Clara battery and sand
batteries No. 1 and No. 2, deliberately
opened fire upon one Of the auxiliary gum
boats which was cruising closely along the
shore.
About half dozen shots were fired, none
finding any other mark than the sea, al
though several dropped too close for conf
fort. The gunboat made no reply, but hur-
RED out of range and reported the attack to
the flagship of the, blockading squadron
No attempt at retaliation. however, was
made.

OF the town, and Surgeon Murray is look
ing out for the federal regulations Sur

California Train Wrecker VIII Re
Given Life Sentence,

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 14.-The
death sentence of Salter d. worden will
be commuted to life imprisonment by the
governor. Worden is the man who during
the great railroad strike of 1894 helped to
wreck Southern Pacific train near Sac
ramento, killing an engineer and three SOL
diers. The case became of national promi-
nence through the efforts of the big labor
organizations to save worden, and the fact
that Grover Cleveland, then President.
wrote a personal letter to Governor Budd
asking him to save Worden's neck.
1t was claimed that there was insanity
in Wordens family. and that his mind was
not right. DR.. Gardiner was sent east to
investigate this phase of the case. and IT
is understood that it is upon his report
that the governor will take the action indi-
Gated.

aminer Taylor is again examining the
insurance books of the state. While
the governor refuses to make any state
ment whatever in regard to the trouble
In the insurance department, all signs
point to the same action being taken
In this case as in that of c. H. Ander-
son, and 1t is safe to predict that both
cases VIII fail when put to the test.
The rumors which have been flying for
several days in regard to a disagree
ment between Gov Lee and Insurance
Commissioner Kipp are admitted by
MIR. hlpp. The local daily of this CITY
accuses the governor of abjectIy back
ing down after making a square de-
mand for the dismissal of Examiner
McLarcn. Of the insurance office, and
that he refund to the insurance com
panfes the amounts which the governor
claimed that he had overcharged."
There is no longer any question that
he made these demands in writing and
that they were refused.
Just how the matter will pan out now
is decidedly problematic If the gov
ernor lets 1t drop, he stands in the
position Of condoning in a Populist off,
cial what he has bitterly denounced
in Republican official, after he has
declared the Populists to be doing the
same thing. But to push it means that
the insurance commissioner will place
about $4,000 of patronage among the
papers of the state which will do him
the most good, and it Is hardly neces-
sary to state that the papers which
take up cudgels for the governor will
wait and watch in vain for a slice OF
this pie.
