steam launches had been detailed as
scouts in tho nayigable channel, and out
side the entrance Of the bay and the
oquendo and Colon were ready to support
the forts, the former flying the pennant OF
the admiral.
Between and o'clock in the morning
the scouts noticed two vessels advancing
toward the mouth OF the channel. The
fort az the same time opened up just as
the Merrimac was well inside the passage.
The Spanish officers having allowed her

without completely blocking the channel,

scene with the Almirante OQuendo. The

Meanwhile the other vessel. supposed
to have been the battle ship Iowa, hastily
retired. The Spanish suffered no loss,
and no mat arial damage. The impression

long string Of what Is generally known
rs sandwich men," that is, a anumber of
rather unpropossessinG individuals with
. board on their chests and one on their
backs, the boards being emblazoned with
and their prices.
These men, are always turned loose
upon the streets on Saturday, and from
an oarly hour In the forenoon until dark,
they slowly parade mp and down the
main business ttoroughfare of the city.

of electric cars continually passing, to-

thus creating q great deal Of confusion.

Westminster street Is practically at the

were narrowly averted during the FORE
noon by these men getting in the way of
passing teams. and the general expression
OF pedestrians was that the whole Thing
was a most arrant nuisance and should
be put q stop TO.
The Representative OF several other
clothing firms, who do not believe In
such methoGs, and other business men
on tho street, did not hesitate to saw In
emphatic terms that something ought to
be done py the city authorities to keep
the principal street Of the city clear OF
such parades, particularly on busy days.
Many OF them were inclined to the opin-
ion that some form OF a petition to the
City Council would be fortncomig in the
near future. and quite a number of
bicyclists will unquestionably give their
support Co any such movement.

under which the complsint was brought
did not apply to the case Of the defendant,
that the statute should be strictly con-

one regulating the practice OF medicine

that the light house tender Fern had been

The origial report was received by the
New York Herald In cablegram which

censor in Havana after part of the

There was naturally great exoitemsnt

At the sane time there are those who be-
they point out there have been no dis
patches from Havana thus far today.
Navy officials ridicule and discredit the
rumor. Lieut. Whittlssey who would be
this first To know of the receipt of any
such news said that he had not heard Of
any trouble at Havana,s and that while
the Fern was at Havana he did not
credit any other part of she story.

he had received no news Of any disaster

A FOOLISH INVENTION.
Washington, April 0.--The officials of
the state department are awaiting with
much interest todny's dispatches from
Consul General Lee at Havana that will
tell OF his safe departure from that city
for United States soil.
Secretary Long promptly put quie-
titus on the rumor that another ship has
bean blown up In Havana harbor. 40 an
Associated Press representative be said
he was very Tlad TO report that the rumor
was Incorrect. subsequently, after in
vestiRation ny telegraph, Assistant Secrs-
tary hosevelt said thnt tie rumor was a
mere foolish tuvetion. According To the
latest reports rece ived ar the navy depart
ment there are now two vessels ar Ha-
vnna, the tug Fern and the coast survey
steamer bache, both OF which will be
used probably to convey any Americans
frcm Havana tn the United States who
