GAVE UP THE CHASE.
Strange Steamer was Too Speedy

known steamer supposed to be a Spanish
auxiliary cruiser, sighted by the VIII
mington and Bancroft, about fifteen
miles off Key West. early on Thursday
evening, was not captured. The Ban
croft gave up the chase.
The Wilmington first sighted the
stranger, it now appears, and was about
to steam after her when the Bancroft
came along and asked her if she had seen
anything of a four-masted steamer with
a yellow smokestack. The Wilmington
told her of the unknown vessel she bad
just observed, which had three masts ard
one smokestack, and the Bancroft started
in pursuit.
The stranger put on all steam when
she saw she was being chased and made
off at a sixteen-knot clip. She had too big
a lead on the Bancroft, and the latter,
after chasing her for an hour and a half,
gave it up. Just before the Bancroft
abandoned the pursuit, however, the I'M
known hoisted her cOlors; but night was
falling and the gunboat was unable to

DOMESTIC PETS.
Cats and Dogs the Most Satisfac Glory
House Animals.

There are no pets, on the whole. 50 re-
sponsive and SO satisfactory as the IA
miliar house cat and the dog, Of what
ever variety he may be. Long usage to
the ways Of civilized man has made these
creatures most friendly and sympathetic
and, once admitted into the home life,
they tit into their places, and become as
essential as other members of the house
hold to its daily round of duty and its
measure Of delight. The man or woman
who regards a dog or cat with either
aversion or Indifference can never hope
to understand the regard felt for these
animals by their lovers. The dog is the
more trustful pet, the reader to take
good will for granted, and the mere de-
pendent on the cOmpanDnship Of man.
Dogs there are of high degree and long
descent, large and small, from the Great
Dane to the toy terrier, says Harper's
Bazar; but one thing they all share, and
that is a fond clinging to their master
and liking for his society. A dog is
the best of comrades, the most constant
of friends, and to those who care for him
he is the solace of lonely hours and the
source of pride.
A cat, on the other hand does not
yield affection by instinct Whatever
may have been originally bestowed on
the cat by his far-aWay savage ancestors,
the untamable beasts Of the jungle and
the den, he stll keeps part of the wild
creatures subtIety, suspicion and stealth
His very step suggests the panther's-so
soft, so padded, so sinuous, so dexterOus.
For ages, too, cats have been maligned
as witches, treated with cruelty by
thoughtless boys, condemned to vagrant
wanderings and prowlings by needless
owners, who could go off on plea sure
trips, leaving a forlorn and neglected pet
behind them to seek its meat where it
could ind IT, to Staryp TO nrpV upon n
neighbours shelves.
Nothing on this earth is more pitiful
than hungry, gaunt and attenuated
specter of what should be a weIl-fed,
sleek and prosperous-looking pussy
Cats show the effect Of good treatment
in their coats, which grow soft and silky.
in their fnelygroomed appearance, and
IN their air of pride and serenity. A cat
should have a good bed on which to sleep
at night, it should have plenty of food at
the right times, daintily served, and it
should never be frightened or struck.
Cats are intensely nervous, and they have
long memories. A cat once abused does
not soon forgive nor forget to stand on
guard.
A dog should be fed twice day: not
on mere leavings and scraps, but on food
nicely prepared, and containing some va
rlety-perhaps a cereal, perhaps some
cooked vegetable, with portions of meat,
and bone or two on which the dog may
gnaw. Give the dog his meals on a clean
platter, and for both cat and dog provide
drinking water in convenient place.

CAUGHT A COAL BOAT.
British Steamer Which was Trying
to Sneak Into Santiago
Gle Cuba.

Key West. Fla. May 30.-G:30 q. M
The British steamer Restormel was
brought i'll here this morning, under her
own steam, by prize crew. She was
captured while trying to put into Santi-
ago de Cuba with Il cargo of: coal. The
steamer was bound from Cardiff to Porto
Rico. AS the Restorme came IN the
British flag was flying half way down
her main mast. She was leaking badly.
Newspaper men were not permitted to
approach within 100 yards of her.
The British steamer Restormel was
built at Newcastle in 1882. She has d

has 36 feet 3 inches beam. and is % feet

1870 Il. m.-The Restormel was cap
tured under the very guns of MORO cas-
tie, at Santiago de Cuba. at 6 a. m. on
May %. She carried 24O0 tons of best
Welsh coal from Cardiff, presumably for
Admiral Cervera's feet.
The ST. Paul has been lying off Santi-
ago de Cuba for six days, and early last
Wednesday morning the big collier was
sighted, making at full speed for Santi-
ago harbor. The ST. Paul fired a blank
shot and the Restormel came to. four
miles from the Santiago forts. The forts
dld not hre on the cruiser. a prize crew,
in command Of Lieut.. ]. A. PattsOn, was
put on board and dispossessed the British
officers, who made no protest.
Not a line was found among the snip S
papers relative to the destination or con-
signee of the cargo. The Restormel was
headed al once for Key West. She was
leaking badly when captured and Is still
IN serious condition.
The RestOrmel now lies in the harbOr,
near a wharf. The British flag is flying
at her stern, marines patrol the prize and
will allow 10 one aboard. The members
Of her crew are not even allowed to take
newspapers offered to them from launches
that come alongside
In addition to the st. Paul. there were
five other fast naval scouts outside Santi-
ago de Cuba. establishing a definite block
ade in the sense that no merchant vessels
are allowed to enter.
The guard Of the RestOrmel is so strict
that even the British consul IS not per
mitted to go on board.
The steamer cleared from Cardiff for
San Juan de Puerto Rico. and is believed
to have touched at that port and to have
been ordered to Santiago lie Cuba. 1t is
rumored that she has Spanish officers on
board.
The hearing of the ease of the RestOr-
mel Will take place in the prize court
this afternoon and her commander will
not be allowed to communicate with the
British authorities until after the hear

The British consul believes the steamer
will be released, but the Spanish fleet will

MANILA IN HARD LINES
With Dewey Watching Harbor and
Insurgents on Land Side the
Town is in a Fix.

New York, May 2S.-A dispatch to the
World from Manila by way of Hong
Kong says: The situation of the be-
sieged inhabitants of Manila is growing
more and more desperate owing to the
shutting off of the supplies Of food. The
blockade of the harbor by Admiral Dew
Py's squadron is complete, while the in
surgents have surrounded the city on the
land side, thus effectually closing the
place in.
Admiral Dewey has deferred further
aggressive action at this point until the
arrival of the United States cruiser
Charleston with coal and ammunition
and of the promised troops for the mill
tary occupation Of the islands.
The Spaniards in Manila have heard a
report that a squadron of eight Spanish
warships is coming here to attack the
American fleet.
They have been told also that the
smallpox is epidemic On the United
States vessels that 300 of the officers
and men are down with the disease and
that there have been fourteen deaths al
ready.
The story about the smallpox is abso-
lutely without foundation. Every body in
the squadron is in excellent health the
weather is not severely hot and no sick
ness is apprehended.

THE COLUMBIA INJURED.

Washington. .. c., May 3O.-Secre-
tary Long today received a dispatch
from Admiral Bunce, commander of the
New York maynard, stating that the
cruiser Columbia had been in collision at
sea and that one Of her after compart-
ments had lot of water in it. The adj
miral said he intended to dock her i'm
mediately in order that an examination
might determine the extent of the re-
pairs necessary.
While the admiraI's dispatch stated
nothing as to the time that would be
necessary to make the repairs, it is be-
lieved at the department that the nature
of the collision makes it probable the
repairs will not have to be very eX-
pensiye nor time-consuming.
New York, May 3O.-With q huge rent

States protected cruiser Columbia came
into port yesterday morning and went to
the government anchorage off Tompkins-
vile, s. l., soon after noon. The gaping

Dover, Del, May 2S.-At the ceremony
incident to the presentation to the state
today of the portraits of all its governors
the former ambassador to England
Thomas f. Bayard made a speech ii
which he gave utterance to his opinion of
Spain. He said:
Spain is vain. Her vanity and AFRO
CANT pride have cost her much, and will
cost her more She has disgraced civiliza-
ton and humanity. but in doing so she
has pressed herself so hard that her total
destruction. her total useIessness among
the civilized nations of the earth, are in
evitablc."
Mr.. Bayard touched upon the attitude
of England as follows:
81 am happy to be able to note the pol
ICY Of the English government when the
crisis came and we were called upon to
face the jealousy Of the nations of Eu-
rope. It was the first step in the direction

ANOTHER WARNING.

The San Francisco Chronicle of the
7th does these Islands most valuable
service in its truthful warning to per-
sons who propose to emigrate to this
place.
1t states that there is no more room
for professional or mercantile persons;
that the white population is small, and
its wants abundantly supplied by peo
pie who are either old residents, or
have settled here within a few years.
1t calls the Islands. a rich mans
country" This is true to the extent
that the staple industry is the produc-
ton of sugar, which involves the in
vestment of large capital.
While the demand for workmen, me-
chanics and engineers is fully supplied,
and there is little, if any room for more
professional men of any description, the
opening of new lands in the future will
call for more immigrants. But there is
now little government land in the mar
ket that has been surveyed, and made
available through roads and bridges.
The sooner men in the States dis
cover that these Islands are not a will
derness with some millions of acres of
government land open to presumption,
and speculation, the sooner they will
abandon the idea that there is any
more milk and honey here, than there
is on the vast Mainland that is full of
the richest raw material, and is in
need of settlers
We expected that there would be an
invasion of immigrants, after anneXa- !
ton, and, as usual, the majority of !
them believe that in this climate they |
''can get something for nothing"
There is today, in this city, as much |
suffering from poverty among Anglo
Saxons, as there is in any place on the
Mainland, that has the same number of
white inhabitants.
Unfortunately it is not for the inter
ests of the transportation lines to
check further immigration. The money
