RAN TEE BLOCKADE.
Montzerrat's Crew Given an Ovation
at Corunna

Corunna, Spain, May 21.-The Spanish
auxiliary cruiser Montzerrat arrived
here unexpectedly last evening from
Cienfugos. having escaped the Ameri-
can blockading fleet. Large crowds of
people thronged the quay and the crew
received an ovation when they went
ashore. The people embraced the cap
tain and officers of the steamer. Pop
ular demonstrations followed through
out the city. The commander of the
Montzerrat declared that he was not
charged with any mission, and said he
was not carrying dispatches, but the
Spaniards claim that he is periodically
concealing the facts in the case.
The Montzerrat is to be sent to Fer
rol or Cadiz in order to have her guns
mounted. A big fete is being organ
lied here in honor of the officers and
crew of the Montzerrat.
Madrid, May 21.-The newspapers
here are using the assertion that the
Spanish auxiliary cruiser Montzerrat
thrice ran the blockade Of the Cuban
coast" as the text of articles claiming
to point out that the blockade is inef-
fective.
1t is asserted here that the Montzer-
rat landed $4,000, 900 pesetas, 1000 SOL
diers, 100 guns, $1,000 rifles and guam
tity of ammunition in Cuba

GREAT EVENTS EXPECTED.
But First Reports Will Probably
Claim a Spanish Victory.


Washington, May 21.-The navy de-
partment gave out no news today
touching the movements of the Amer
lean and Spanish squadrons in the
neighborhoOd of Cuba 1t is plain to
be seen however, that the officials are
expecting great events to occur at any
moment What they most fear is the
effect that might be produced upon
our people by greatly exaggerated and
misleading reports from Spanish
sources of some great naval engage
ment, if the Spaniards should claim the
victory. 1t is realized that the first
news of an engagement in the neigh
borhood of Cuba or to the eastward
may reach the United States through
the Spanish cables, via Madrid and
these are almost certain, no matter
what the result may be, to make such
a claim of victory for the Spanish. OBJ
viously the only manner now in which
the truth could be discovered would be
through our own officers.
The navy department is proud Of the
record made by the Oregon. from an
engineering point of view. The reports
TO the department from the ship show
that she does not need 5 cents worth
of repairs to her machinery, after her
13,000-mile continuous run. The record
is said never TO have been equalled
since the building of the first iron war
ship.

Wild Western Warriors Receive an
Ovation at Chicago.
Chicago. May 21.-The advance guard
of Grigsby's cowboy regiment arrived in
Chicago from Sioux Falls today. Large
crowds greeted the train, and the loco
motive slowed up to allow the crowds
to exchange compliments with the SOL
diers, who. leaning far out from the
windows. cheered and waved flags and
in other ways demonstrated their ap-
probation CT the reception. There were
two companies, containing altogether
1S6 men. The men were dressed in reg
ulation cowboy costume, broad sOmbre-
ros, etc, with long pistols strapped to
their sides. The train proceeded to the
stock yards to unload their freight.
The troopers left this afternoon over
the Pennsylvania railroad for Chicka-
manga. Three other companies of the
regiment, under Lieutenant Colonel
Lloyd, are now on their way from Fort
Meade. S. D., for Chickamauga, where
they will join Colonel Grigsby. The
remaining five troops will follow in a
few days. Four will come from Mon
tana and one from Fargo, n. d.

Volunteers In Service.
Washington, May 21.-One hundred
and ten thousand volunteers have
been mustered into the service of the
United States, according to the reports
which have reached Adjutant General
Corbin. and by the end of next week
the officials hope every man of the 125,-
900 called for will have taken the oath
to protect the United States govern
ment in it's war with Spain.
The mastering in of the regular
army branch. with a view to increas-
ing it to $4,000 men, the war strength
authorized by law, continues satisfac-
torily in all directions, though the re-
ports of the officers engaged in the
work are not yet at hand to indicate
the precise number of recruits which
have been secured. Arrangements are
making for the recruiting of the i'm

Wild and improbable Reports of Battle Off Mole

GREAT EVENTS In THE WEST INDIES
EXPECTED TO OCCUR AT ANY MOMENT
Reported That Sampson and Schley Are Both In Pursuit
of the SpaniardS.

Cape Haytien, May 21-(Copyrighted
1898. by the Associated Press.)-A pas
senger from Port de Paix, who arrived
on the Haytien steamer today, brought
rumor that a fight had taken place
off Mole St. Nicolas, in which twelve
Spanish warships had been sunk and
two Americans were disabled. The re-
port, however, lacks confirmation.
1t is reported here from a vague
source that cannonading was heard of
the Mole to the northward, ceasiDg al
nightfall, and that the firing was re-
newed early today and continued until
neon.
Washington, May 2L-No confirma-
ton of the rumored engagement off
Mole Nicholas had been received at
the navy department up to late hour
tonight and naval officers are disin-
clined to believe that the American
feet has encountered the Spaniards. 1t
vas expressly denied at the depart
ment that information even giving an
intimation of a fight had been received
and further it was stated that a meet

SECRECY 'AT MADRID.
Madrid, May 21.-The information re-
ceived here as to the whereabouts of

contradictory The government main

But it is officially declared that if the
Americans cut the Cuban cable the
Spaniards will retaliate by cutting the
Galveston cable so as to interrupt
Southern Pacific communication.
Admiral Camara, after having had
several conferences with the minister
of marine has returned to CadiZ. The

it is said, sail under sealed orders.
CERvERA's MISTAKE.
London, May 21.-According to the
best expert opinion in London, if Ad-
miral Cervera has gone to Santiago de
Cuba, he has made a fatal mistake.
Vice Admiral Phllp Howard CeIhlhD,

val works, including THE Naval War
Game" writes that he is convinced

PEACE EXPECTED.
1t is Thought Spain Will Quickly
Come to Terms.

Washington, August 1.-The
president and some members of
his cabinet are hopeful that a
treaty of peace will eventually
result from the overture of Spain
and the terms submitted in reply.
Cambon Immediately sent to his
government the date to Spain and
the president looks for an answer
by Wednesday.
Some of the cabinet deny the
report that Cambon conferred in
the Office of plenipotentiar of
the Spanish government, but
simply rs a message.
The feeling that peace is com
ing is general, however. Already
the names of the commissioners
for the United States are being
talked of. The latest to he men
toned are Woodford, former
minister to Spain, and Richard
Olney, but no official ground for
the report.
