over the island for carrying on the war.
There are 5000 regular troops and
about 5000 volunteers in Porto Rico.
They are armed with Remington rifles.
The civil guard, 800 strong and mount
ed, have great power. The volunteers
could be put to shame, so far as dis
cipline and drill are concerned, by the
school cadets of this country. The mil
itary authorities bought large quanti-
ties of food when war was imminent
and it is supposed they have enough
for three months rations for the troops.
The others have to pay double now for
their provisions"
Mr.. Cantrell, another of the ArkadfS
passengers, was the chief electrician
for an electric light company in Ponce.
He said the authorities there Hbok all
the wire from the works to mine the
harbor and then seized all the coal.
Because he spoke English he was taken
for an American. At Farfjado, where
he went ashore with Mr.. Megwinoff,
he was nearly mobbed and was forced
to take refuge in a warehouse.
Regarding the bombardment Mr..
Cantrell said that one of the shells
from an American gun entered the
mouth of a gun on the Notifications,
smashing it into pieces and killing a
man at the breech. One corner of Moro
had been knocked off and 6-inch shells
could be seen imbedded in the fortifi-
cations. The Spanish steamer Paulina,
he learned, was chased by an American
warship four days before the lombard
ment and upon being overhauled dis
played the French colors. AT San Juan
he learned that a Porto Rican had been
put to death on the charge OF leading a
revolution and another had been inn
prisoned for life on the same charge.
Porto Rican papers, Mr.. Cantrell
said, contained the most ridiculous
statements of Spanish valor and sue
cess in the war. One paper said that
the Brooklyn bridge had been blown
up by a torpedo boat, while another
declared that two American warships
had been captured and 80 men made
prisoners.

POLO WAS KICKED OUT.
Canadian Government Advised Him
to Leave the Country.


New York, May pa special to the
Herald from Montreal says: 1T has
not been possible for Spain to postpone
the departure of Senior Polo Y Bernabe
any longer. Today he will sail with
all his staff by the steamer Dominion
for Liverpool. Senior Polo went on
board the steamer last night and will
go from Liverpool to Madrid. He says
although he was detained here for some
time on business, he respected the dec
laration of neutrality and left this
country voluntarily.
He leaves behind, however, the
Spanish consul, to try to continue the
gathering of information for the Span
ish government relative to the military
and naval movements of the United
States. The authorities here are close
ly watching the consul and he will be
promptly placed under arrest if the
slightest deviation from neutrality laws
is detected.
'Senor Polo Bernabe has been loud
in his declarations that no official pro-
test had been lodged against his pro-
ceedings here, but he now practically
admits that he was requested to re-
turn to Madrid, for it was learned last
night from an unimpeachable source
that the Canadian government advised
his departure"
Montreal, May 21.-Senor Polo Y Ber-
nabe, ex-Spanish minister to Washing
ton, and party will sail on the steamer
Dominion for Liverpool, en- route to
Madrid. 1t is understood Senior Du
Bose, exchange d'affaires at Washing
ton, will leave the boat at Quebec and
remain there or return here. A United
States secret service man was a pas
senger on board the Dominion.

ANOTHER SPANISH TRICK.
Old Hulks Loaded With Dynamite
and Turned Adrift.

New York, May PA dispatch to
the Herald from Key West says: That
fertile Spanish brain that has been
adopting all sorts of devices to entice
the blockading squadron within point
blank range of the Havana batteries
has beer adopting a new eXpedient to
destroy warships.
The latest device is the sending adrift
of hulks made to- resemble torpedo
boats, after first loading them with
dynamite, in the hope that American
ships would ram them in the darkness.
Several Of these hulks have been sent
out of the harbor.
One was sighted two nights ago off
Cardenas by the tug Hudson. 1t was
lying motionless and appeared to be a
torpedo boat. 1t had two tunnels and
a gun over each box Signalling the
tug Leyden. that looks like one the
Hudson steamed down and the Leyden
went along. The tugs opened fire at
1900 yards, and one of the shots
knocked off a smokestack, which proved
to be a wooden structure, for it flew
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-05-22

into splinters. Satisfied that the boat
was merely a derelict hulk, the tugs
ceased firing.
A similar hulk was sighted by the
Wilmington the next day. This also
was rugged up so that it would appear
at even short distance to be a torpedo
boat destroyer. The Wilmington blazed
away and sunk the hulk AS it was
sinking the forward part of the craft
was blown out and cans containing ex-
plosives were picked up after wreck
sank. These facts were reported to
Commodore Watson.

PROTEST FROM THE NAVY.
Government Has Permitted Vessels
TO Pass the Blockade

Chicago. May PA special to the
Journal from Washington says: The
navy department will grant no more
permits to vessels of any nation to
pass the blockade and enter Havana.
This action is decided on at the urgent
request of the naval officers in COM
mand at Key West and on the block
ade They have united in a formal
protest against allowing information to
be carried through Havana right under
their guns.

SAILED RIGHT UP TO THE SPAN
ISL FORTS.
Effect of the Bombardment Described
By People Who Were In the Town
Twenty Spaniards Were Killed
Spanish Warships Were In the
Harbor-Houses Demolished.

New York, May 21.-Captain Lloyd of
the steamer Arkadia, that has just ar
rived here from San Juan, Porto Rico,
says that he and the ships steward
were the only ones who went ashore
during the steamers three hours stay
at the bombarded port
From what 1 learned, 20 men were
killed by American guns" said Cap
tain Lloyd. "Cf these, six were mown
down at the guns and the others were
laid out by bursting shells in the de-
lenses No one was hurt in the town.
About 60 were injured, all in the forts.
THE agent of the line, a naturalized
American citizen, took me around the
town. A shell from the American fleet
had struck the fourth story of the Ho
tel Ingleterra, knocked off the whole
roof and rovde the guests, men and wo-
men, into the streets in their night
clothes, at 5:15 a. m.
Flying over the forts, good many
shells had fallen into the fiat lands
striking houses, some of which are now
propped I'D to keep them from tumb-
ling. l saw a Storehouse that had been
riddled by an American shell, which
had punctured the roof, bored its way
through the lumber stored in the build
ing, penetrating the office and, emery
ing through a rear door. had knocked
hole in the hull of a Spanish mer-
chant steamer, the ManGella-
a Spanish custom inspector told me
that his father, a soldier, had been
killed while asleep in his bed by one
of the first shots. Below the fortifica-
tons lie many shells, some of them still
unexploded.
The Spanish are picking them up
and treaSuring them for mementos.
See the presents the Yankees sent u.s.
they tell their friends.
If man can speak only so much
English as Yes or NO. his life is now
in peril in San Juan. Secretary Bett
of the English consulate, told me that
there is much discussion among the
consular officers at San Juan as to
whether the bombardment will stand
the test of international law, as no no.

dia were A V. Drake. for three wears

AMERICAN DARING
Mr.. Drake said: 1.-The agent, from
whom l learned of the bombardment,
lived outside the city, but, awakened
by the heavy cannonading, he got up
and watched the engagement from a
safe distance. One vessel, which, he
said, he believed was the Iowa, left
the fleet, and, accompanied by a small
boat, steamed fairly under Morro's
guns She stationed the small boat.

is left. Producers realize that If
they now lose their holdings they
cannot hope to replace them. They
know there is no margin of profit
in following the producing bust

growing more and more limited
therefore the markets of the

sands and people might possibly
be surprised with a Big Injun

Fishers Stephens well at New

last week and is strong gasser
with no oil or salt water.
Culbertson & Schelps wildcat at
Antioch was to have begun spud-

One dollar oil is starting the wild

Fishers are drilling a we'll on the
MARBLE farm at Jackson's ridge that
pretty nearly comes under the wild
cat species as it is not very near
other developments.
Reports say that Fishers and the
other operators at work on the ridge
have eight strings of tools going at
present.
Fishers got a good gas we'll on

farm by carrying them 7-1o inter,
est in the first completed well.
Bruner & company secured the
Mercer lease by agreeing to carry
the leaseholders a q interest in
two completed wells. Other deals
OF less Importance were made and
a large number of holdings are
changing hands.
The we'll at Paden's Valley is be-
ing tubed. Mr.. Ihrig will start
another we'll in that locality at once.
In the Elk Run field very little
new work is starting. The Carter
Oil company is fishing at its No,
Musser. Its No. Moore has been
cased with the 6A casing. Shay
& McMullen will abandon their No.
Bohlen. 1t was treated to a heavy
dose of high explosives which failed
to increase its production. They
will start their No. I Schmelzen-
bauch, located 700 feet south of the
Bohlen farm, tomorrow.
Afford & Co. and Cummings are
each drilling in the salt sand at their
No. I Brooks and No. 3 Smith, re-
spectively. Altenberg & Cowell
have reached the Injun in their
Thomas No. I and have nice show
of oil.
The field operations for August,
while showing an increase in drill
ing wells, indicate the scarcity OF
territory by the decrease in rigs in
both Pennsylvania and Ohio fields.
Were the pools which are being
operated of a prolific nature there
would not be decrease in new rigs
at this season of the year. The
most astonishing feature of the
published reports of field operations
is, that wells which have been com.
pleted early in the month show
most remarkable staying qualities
if the reports could be relied on
but the pipe line runs do not cor
roborate the figures; therefore pro-
ducers can but conclude there is
some "thimble-rigging" going on
in the Office where the figures are
compiled.
Even Ohio fields fail to produce
sufficient oil 10 materially increase
the production Notwithstanding the
talk of increased activity. The
great number of wells abandoned
denotes the life is rapidly expiring
from the rock which was once so
prolific and that the field is rapidly
going the way of the once gr;at
Bradford field which is now field
of old Shippers" that are averag-
ing less than one half barrel per
well, but unlike the Lima field,
Bradford is not underlayed with
salt water, consequently the old
wells can be pumped at little ex-
pense. Never have field reports
indicated such encouraging features
for better prices.
It is doubtful if the month of
September will supply sufficient
production TO maintain the present
pipe line runs and unless there is
some new pools discovered or
wells of more than ordinary large
size the figures are quite liable to
show some decline from those of
August.
Producers can we'll afford to hold
their oil and even expect to pay
storage charges on it for consider
able period as a matter of better in
yestments than it is to take chances
