KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 26.-First
Lieutenant Andrew S. Rowan, of the Nine
teenth Infantry, under orders from the War
Department, was landed on the Cuban coast
somewhere west of Santiago probably, be-
fore dawn on Monday. His Cuban guides
and an open sailboat were used. The guides
have not returned. Lieutenant Rowan is on
his way to the camp of General Calixto
Garcia. He will represent the War Depart
ment in arranging for the cooperation of
the insurgents in the invasion of eastern
Cuba by the forces of the United States.
The time and place of invasion will be con-
trolled by events and the character of Lieu
tenant Rowan's dispatches
Lieutenant Rowan was detailed from the
Bureau of Information for this dangerous
dress he is liable to be treated as a spy.
He speaks Spanish and knows Cuba, having
written book on the subject. Moreover,
he is expert map maker Lieutenant
Rowan left Washington under instant or
ders on April 9. He was directed to wait
here, prepared to so to Porto Rico or Cuba.
AS he went to eastern Cuba, it is inferred
that blow will be struck there before one
is struck at Porto Rico. With him he took
an official Spanish section map of eastern
Cuba, with emendations made by the War
Department photographers. The expecta-
ton is that General Calixto Garcia will
dispose his forces to cover a landing Of
United States troops as prearranged. A
courier with Lieutenant Rowans first dis
patches to the War Department will prob
ably leave General Garcia's camp next
week

Says Spanish Gunboat Repulsed
Three American Vessels.


HAVANA. April 26.--(via London).-Cap-
tain General Blanco has cabled the govern
ment at Madrid to the effect that the Span
ish squadron of war ships may be utilized
elsewhere. as he can account for the de-
fense of Havana without the assistance of
the fleet.
MADRID, April 26.-General Blanco cables
that the situation is unchanged. His dis
patch says This CTuesday) evening divi-
sion of five American vessels approached
Marianao. The Spanish gunboat Nlgera re-
pulsed three destroyers which entered the
port of Cardenas and compelled them to re-
treat I believe the Americans will not dare
to disembark in Cuba"

that he would sail against the American

The Government Notified by BIanco
that He Can Protect Havana With
out Aid OF War Ships.

MADRID, April 26.-The Spanish govern
ment to-day sent circular to the powers,
supplementing it's circular of April IS, and
expressing regret at "the hard necessity of
being compelled to appeal to force in order
to repel the scandalous aggression of the
United States and defend the national dig
nifty and historical integrity of the father
land" Continuing, the circular note says:
History presents few instances wherein
the reason Is so evident on one part and
the outrage so undisguised on the other.
Spain has on her side right correct pro-
cedure and prudence. while the United States
has on her side only disloyalty and the i'm
pulse of unbridled ambitions" After ref
erence to the "execrable conduct Of Gen.
FItzhugh Lee, the note reproduces the text
of the resolutions of Congress, underlining
the last words, "As intended to deceive the
Cubans." 1t is then predicted that the
Island OF Cuba will not be declared pacif1ed
until 1t Is ready for annexation. Further on
the note gives the details of the rupture of
the negotiations between Spain and the
United States, concluding with the following
declaration: '"rhe Spanish people await
the attack with tranquil serenity, decided to
sell their lives dearly and TO defend energet-
ically their right TO remain in America, con-
fdent that in this work they will have the
assistance of the Cubans. who are Span
iards like themselves"
In the Spanish Senate yesterday Count

THREE IMPORTANT RULES.
Lord Salisbury Calls Attention to the
Treaty of Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador, to-day
received a cable dispatch from the British
Foreign Office, signed by Lord Salisbury,
announcing that the Queens proclamation
of neutrality in the war between Spain and
the United States had been signed. The dis
patch states that the proclamation is SIM
liar to those issued on former occasions,
but in addition directs special attention to
the three rules of the treaty of Washing
ton of May s, 1871, Article 6, which will be
observed towards both countries. The three
rules to which Lord Salisbury directs spe-
cial attention are of exceptional moment
just at present owing to the presence in
British ports of several war ships. includ-
ing the Somers and Albany intended for
the United States navy. The three rules
are as follows:
"A neutral government is bound:
"First-To use due diligence to prevent the
fitting out, arnling or equipping, within its
Jurisdiction. of any vessel which it has rea-
sonable grounds to believe is intended to
cruise or to carry on war with a power
with which it is at peace, and also to use
like diligence to prevent the departure from
its jurisdiction of any vessel intended to
cruise or carry on war as above such yes
or in part, within such jurisdiction, to war
like use.
"Second-Not to permit or to suffer
either belligerent to make use Of its ports
and waters as the base of naval operations
against the other, or for the purpose of re-
newal or augmentation of military supplies
or arms, or the recruitment of men.
'Third-To exercise due diligence in it's
own ports and waters, and, Sas to all per-
sons within it's jurisdiction, to prevent any
violation of the foregoing obligations and
duties"
The second rule doubtless accounts for the
enforced departure of the United States
fleet at Hong-Kong. The first rule appears
to apply directly to several ships purchased
by the United States abroad. and now
hurrying to completion in British yards.
Most important of these is the fine cruiser
Albany, formerly the Abroueall. of the
Brazilian navy. From the strict rule adopted
In stopping the torpedo boat Somers and
the mail steamer Ireland, as reported by
press dispatches 1t is believed the rule
against the departure of war ships will be
given very rigid construction.
The British proclamation OF neutrality is
the first one to be issued. probably because
of the important commercial interests in
volved. Doubt is expressed here as to the
report current in London that the proclama-
tion Was due TO an understanding between
the United States and Great Britain, in
order that other countries might be urged
20 adopt a similar attitude of neutrality

Frankfort Company First In-Secomd
First Regiment to Report.


The Indiana regiments of the boys of '9Ss
Yesterday spent their first day in camp in
the present war with Spain. They are
physically the flower of the young manhood
Of Indiana.
The youngest company Of the Indiana Ma
tional Guard was the first to arrive at
Camp Mount, at the fair grounds. north OF
the city, yesterday morning. 1t was Z
o'clock when the boys climbed from the
train on the Monon road that had brought
them from their homes at Frankfort and

grounds. The people Of Frankfort had
turned out at o'clock in the morning to
give the boys Godspeed and the women
wept and the men cheered as the train
pulled out OF the station. When the boys
entered Camp Mount only the keepers OF
the fair grounds were there to greet them,
and there was nothing to eat, The boys had
brought nothing with them, and they feared
that indefinite hunger confronted them
until one discovered the first sutler, the
House Of David, a roadhouse just outside
the fair grounds. The boys swarmed into
the place, and in short order exhausted the
supply of rye bread sandwiches which this
resort afforded. The company was organ
lied two weeks ago, ard mas eighty-eight
members. The officers are; Captain. ID. II.
Allen; first lieutenant. II. M. Kramer; Sec
ord lieutenant, Harry Richeson.
The young company held the camp alone
until the middle of the morning. when the
Indianapolis companies of the Second Regi-
ment II, d and A, arrived on street cars.
1t was on the trip out that the first engage
ment of the indianapolis troops occurred.

between the motor car and the

trailer grabbed what he supposed
was the bell rope. but instead rang
up two fares. The conductor became angry
and excited and took the young man who
had pulled the rope by the throat. Imme-
diately the whole car rose up against the
