tender Mangrove, the baby of thesnavy,
sailed proudly into Key West harboi
last night with the richest prize of tina
war thus far, a vessel four times hei
size, trailing in her wake. The captive
was the Panama, Captain Quevedo a
transatlantic liner and an auxiliary

The MRngrove, under Lieutenant

came down from the photographic Of

her, was cruising along the Cuban
coast, navigated by Ensign Palmer,
shortly before 6 O'clock Monday even
ing about 20 miles north of Havana. At
5:45 p. m. she sighted the Panama. The
only other ship OF the fleet in sight was
the battleship indiana, three miles to
the rear. Lieutenant Commander Ev-
erett scented a prize and scudded to-
ward the stranger. When the latter
came within range, a shot from the
Mangrove's IL FOUNDER was sent across
her bows. but the Spaniard ignored the
challenge and went on. Another shot
followed without result, but the Nam

to the flagship, where formal report
was made, and Rear Admiral Sampson
ordered Lieutenant Commander Everett
to convoy the prize into Key West.
The Panama is of about $500 tons
burden, and her passengers were main
ly Spanish refugees fleeing from New
York and other points in the United
States to Havana. Captain Quevedo
was grief stricken and greatly humli-

QUERIES ABOUT PRIvATEFRING.
In the Spanish Senate, yesterday,

eminent adhered strictly TO tho Treaty
of Paris in regard TO priya;errs, or
whether 1t would Issue letter OF
mnrque to any one asking for such
authority.
Tho l'romior. Senior Sagasta, said the

question. On Count Almenas insisting
upon M Rnswer 10 hia question. the
Minister fur Foreign Affairs, senior
Gulon, said Spain occupied the sans
position as she held before the Trsaty
of Paris.
At the close of Senior Segastas speech
in the Senate, yesterday. the President
OF the Senate ssid. amid great applause,
that the Spanish Senate had replied to
"the insults OF the American Senate
with the most profound scorn."
A CIRCULAR TO THE POWERS.
The Spanish government to-day sent
a circular to the Powers, supplementing
its circular of April 18th, and express-
ing regret at tue "hari necessity of
being compelled to appeal to force in
order to repel ths HcaIdalous aggression
of tho United States. and defend tine
national dignity aud historical integrity
OF the fatherland. "
Continuing the circular note says:
History presents few instances
wherein the reason is 50 evident on ono
part and the outrage SO undisguised on
the other. Spnin has on her side right,
correct procedure ami prudence, while
tho United States has on her side only
disloyalty and the impulse OF unbridled
ambitions"
After reference to the "exacrable
conduct" OF Gen. FiizhuRh Les, the note
reproduces the text of the resolutions
of Congress, undermining the last words
''as intended to deceive the Cubans."
II ia then predicted that the island
of Cuba will not be declared pacil.ed
