may lead to some desperate attempts
at blockade running on the part of the
Spaniards, in the hopes of getting more
ammunition into Havana. 1t is be-
lieved that the supplies so frequently
referred to as being on the Spanish
flying squadron were of this character,
rather than food supplies. which makes
it all the more important that Samp-
son and Schley should succeed in keep
ing Admiral Cervera from reaching
Havana or Cienfuegos, or any port in
Cuba connected with Havana by rail.

Neutral Vessels Given Permission to
Pass the Blockade.

Washington, May 16.-The navy de-
partment issued the following bulletin
at the close of office hours today, en-
bodying such official information of the
day as the department regarded proper
for publication:
Admiral Dewey was informed that
officers, men and supplies would be sent
out to Manila By the City of Pekin.
About 1.2O0 troops will go.
Mr.. Knight, correspondent of the
London Times, having received the
necessary permission from the Spanish
government to land at Havana if con-

has been granted permission by the
navy department to take passage by
the German steamer Polaria, which
vessel is given permission to pass the
blockade. The department hopes to
make an exchange of prisoners at an

WHERE ARE THE sCoUTsp
Expensive Cruisers Have Failed to
Accomplish Their Work.

London, May 1.-THE mystery sur
rounding the movements of the Span
ish fleets is held here to show that the
science of naval scouting is still in its
infancy. The Morning Post says rather
ironically: What have the Americans
swift cruisers been doing since the
commencement Of the war? Apart from
the single possibility of Admiral Ger
Vera's efforts proving successful, more
inaptitude has never been displayed
than in the present war. The failure
of the beautiful mercantile cruisers on
both sides is calculated to support the
opinions of those who think the money
expended in England in substituting
cruisers might be much better en-
ployed."
The Daily Chronicle, referring to the
same subject, admits the failure of
the scouts, but says: England would
have done much better under similar
conditions, because of late years our
naval maneuverS have been devised
with view of obtaining instruction in
this direction. We greatly doubt that
the Cadiz cruisers have arrived at
Martinique. first. because they are not
ready, and, second, because they are
wanted to convoy reinforcements to

Price, May 16-Butch Cassidy, the
famous outlaw, is still alive The body
of the man who was killed by the posse
and buried with Walker was today ex-
humed in order to forever settle his
identity and it is now certain that the
body is not that of Cassidy.
Sheriff ]. H. Ward of Evanston.
Wyo., who is probably the best posted
man in the inter-mountain states upon
criminal matters. reached Price this
morning in response to a telegram call
ing him here to identify the men in jail,
and the corpse supposed to be that of
Cassidy. Sheriff Ward for 13 years
past has been a sheriff in Wyoming.
and during that time had Cassidy in
his Jail for three months and was with
him daily
On inspecting the body, Sheriff Ward
positively asserted that it was not Cas-
sidy, and that while the complexion
and build of the men were very similar,
the body in no other particular re-
sembled Cassidy, and bore none of the
battle scars of the famous robber
Sheriff Ward is of the opinion that the
body is that of Bob Culp, ais Red Bob
=.
CASSIDY was in iail awaiting trial for
horse stealing. and a close description
was made by Sheriff Ward of all his
peculiar marks. and he is absolutely
positive that this is not the man.
Special Agent Shores of the Rio
Gran6e Western railway, who has had
many experiences in criminal matters,
and who possesses a good picture of
Cassidy and has an accurate descrip-
ton taken from the penitentiary rec
ords of Wyoming, where Cassidy was
formerly confined. cUncurs in the opin-
ion of Sheriff Ward and your cores
pendent. that Walkers companion in
the Price graveyard is not Cassidy.
Much regret is expressed by our cit
liens, who had hoped Sheriff Alfred
would be more adequately rewarded for
his daring and bravery in going into
the lair of the outlaws, through strange
passes and dangerous trails, in the
darkness of night, and so completely
surprising the band of assassins,
whose retreat would in all probability
have never been trespasSed upon had
it not been for the intrepedity and de-
termination of Sheriff Alfred.
The two men who give their names
as William Schultz and S. H. Thomp-
son who were captured alive are not
so far fully identified, but Sheriff Ward
is of the opinion that they belong TO
the Hole-in-the-Wall gang of cattle
thieves in Wyoming, and will investi-
gate their records further upon his re-
turn home.

Chicago, May ia special to the

dent Mckinley has abandoned his
peaceful blockade idea. Orders were
today cabled to the commander of the
hlockading squadron that will give him
an opportunity to turn his ships loose
on all Notifications where resistance is
offered. Every Cuban port that is
strongly protected will be attacked, and
the bombardment will be kept up until
Spanish guns are silenced and all gun
boats sunk. Havana is short of pow
der and shot. 1t is to supply Blanco
with ammunition for his big guns that
the Cape Verde fleet has been ordered
to take all risks to reach Cuba. Blanco,
it is asserted, wired Madrid that he

their enrolment to that of their rejec-

subsistence from the state camp to their

Keeping Strong Warships Away
From the Scene of Action.


From the Scene of Action.
Washington, May Ex-senator Gray
and other influential men have made
strong protests against the cruiser Co
lumbia and other fine warships being
kept on the New England coast, when
the enemy's ships are in southern wat
ers. Senator Gray had business with
the president today, and called his al
tention to the matter,
1T is stated that these ships are kept
on the New England coast to allay ap-
prehensions," said Senator Gray. well,
that is all foolishness. Here those ships
are kept on this coast when there e not
a particle of danger, while Che Spanish
squadron is not far from southern wat
ers. l do not believe anybody has any
idea that the Spanish fleet would at
tempt to sail 5000 or 1000 miles from its
present. position to attack New Eng
land, and be without base of supplies
when it got there. While our ships re-
main on the New England coast the
southern coast. much nearer to the
Spaniards, is unprotected. So is the
coast of the middle Atlantic states. Our
ships should be with one or the other
sQuadrons."
1t is said that several other New
England senators take the same ground
as Senator Gray.

Washington, May 16.-There has been
another Encouragement of troops for
the Philippines, which alters the as
signments of the men from the noun
tain states. Orders have been prepared
for the governors of these states by
the war department which cover the
new changes of destination. Under
these latest orders the regiment Of in
fantry from Colorado, the light batter
les and one cavalry troop from Utah,
one battalios of infantry from WyO-
ming and the Idaho infantry all go, to
the Philippines. There have been many
changes and revisions in this list, but
the present one is said at a late hour
tonight to be definite and unchange-
able.
HORSES IN DEMAND.
1t is reported here that the horses
for the Second regiment of cavalry
will be mainly purchased in Wyoming,
although a few will be provided for
from other states contributing to the
ergiment. The war has had the effect
of greatly increasing the value Of
horseiesh, and in some parts of the
east desirable animals are now selling
for three times their cost when the war
began. The mountain horses are eX-
pected to rise in value even more in
proportion.
Representative King called on
Speaker Reed today, and has secured
the latter's promise to recognize him
to call up the UIntah opening bill one

Looking For the Fleet That Does Not
Come.
New York, May ia dispatch to
the World from st. Thomas says: Cap
tain General Maccias and the govern
ment at San Juan are anxiously ex-
pecting the Cape Verde fleet to come
to the rescue of the island. While
putting a bold front before the people
the authorities are fearful of another
disastrous onslaught by Rear Admiral
SIMPSONS squadron and are hoping
that Admiral Cervera will put in an
appearance in the harbor
Inquiries are made here from San
Juan as TO the probable location of the
Spanish warships and the disquieting
news has been sent to Captain General
Maccias that the fleet is far away
from the troubled capital.
Maccias sends word that he was
victorious in the engagement with
Sampson, that his loss in soldiers was
trihing, that a few civilians were killed,
and only two guns We're dismounted.
The American ships, he declares, with
drew under fire that was maintained
until they were out of range The dam
age to his new battery was repaired
over night and the brick and mortar
of the ancient stone foundations were
merely shaken UP.
The band played in the plaza the
night after the bombardment. he de-
clares, and the people gradually re-
covered from their fright and the bad
effects of the bombardment The ap-
parent retreat of the American fleet
cheered the volunteers.
The people, who before the assault,
were about to revolt, now believe that
the Americans were defeated. The
French corvette De Connolly which
lay in San Juan harbor and suffered
from shells thrown by the American
ships, has sailed for Martinique. Her
officers take the dangers to which she
was exposed humorously and there
will certainly be no international
episode growing out of the matter

with the Spanish forces in the Carib-
bean sea. The fact that the report
came from Madrid, satisfies the officials
here that it is another Spanish ruse
to center our attention on Martinique
while their ships have passed west

Villamil has with him the cruisers Cis-
neros, Catalina and Princess de As
turias. It is known, however, that Vii

and that at least one of them, the Cis-
neros, is on the other side of the water

this morning: According to the most
trustworthy information, the Spanish
cruisers Cardinal Cisneros, Princess de
Asturias and Catalina are not yet
ready for sea, and, therefore, cannot
have arrived at Martinique.
