One thing has been provided for and that

scheme of Secretary Bassett, and he sug-
Sested that, in addition to the regular enter

About the same time Capt. Theodorus

there to be loaded with guano, but
had been kept out of their cargces for
more than year, while vessels of

convinced himself that the Yankee
shippers were not at fault, but that
Gov Lopez had put them to all this
discomfort for a purpose He sent q.
messenger ashore to say THAT he would
like to have the governor visit his

Tell your captain that I will see

Bailey fairly boiled over with rage
when he heard this.
Whats that?" he exclaimed. did
he have the impudence to send such
a message to me? Go back and saw
that I want him here, on this deck. in
one hour. If he is not on time, I'll send
a guard to fetch him.
The governor came. Bailey pulled out
the papers which showed Just how
long each American ship had been
waiting for her cargo At the close of
this demonstration he said

val Battle.
KEY WEST, Fla, May %, $50 D. M
The tranquility of a tropical Sunday
has been undisturbed by definite news
from amy quarter. A few naval uni
forms on the streets are the only signs
OF the proximity Of this languid town
to the theater of war. There are only
one or two ships in the harbor, and they
are coaling with all haste to get away
to join their fellows in action, which.
all are convinced, is only a matter of
days, perhaps hours.
Speculation is still concentrated on
the whereabouts of Admiral Ceryera's
squadron, the general opinion favoring
some point on the southern coast. AS
both sides of the island are now pa
trolled by United States warships, the
naval authorities will not admit the
possibility of Cervera's escape without
the most desperate conflict in the his
tory of naval warfare.
Reports from Admiral Sampson's
squadron say that all is quiet off the
northern coast of Cuba. Nothing from
Commodore Schley is expected before
Monday or Tuesday.
A rumor reached here that four
American warships, while bombarding
Santiago de Cuba, had been driven off
by the Spanish fleet, but the story is
generally discredited here. Where it
came from is a mystery.

FRED FOSTERS SAD VISIT
CAME TO ST. PAUL TO HIS
ate : II
BROTHERS FUNERAL
Famous HOrseman's Plans Are
Somewhat Upset by HIS Brothers
Death - DIR. Shepard Scratched
in the Brooklyn Handicap-LO-
for This Race.

Fred Foster, the horseman, was in
the city yesterday to attend the funeral
of his brother He returned to Chicago
last night.
Since Mr.. Foster left St. Paul he has
been up and down the line of the gamut
of fortune and now has a most promis-
ing string Local horsemen were much
interested in Mr.. Fosters advent, but
the unfortunate circumstances under
which he made his visit left it as an
impossibility that he should see many
people. He had to leave almost imme-
diately after the funeral Of his brother
Tom. who was the most popular one
of the family locally. The funeral was
very large one.
Fred Foster will be in st. Louis for
the greater part of this year, and will
not take his horses to Chicago before
the Washington Park races. He has a
good string, but the death in his family
here will interfere with many Of his
plans, the most important interference,
so far as the racing public is con-
cerned, being the withdrawal of DR..
Shepard from the Brooklyn handicap.
The horse Is one Of the best in the
country and had a good standing In
the winter books. He is carrying q
good deal of money belonging to the
far-Seeing talent now, but he will not
run.
The favorite for the handicap, as
things stand according to Mr.. Foster
and the safest to win out Is Ornament
Mr.. Fosters friend, Eddie Murphy, Is
Of the same opinion as the racing man,
and there is a good deal Of money 60
ing on Ornament locally.
my plans are disarranged," said Mr.
Foster. "As things stand I will keep
the horses at st. Louis for some time
then send them on to Louisville. I am
obliged to take DR.. Shepard out of the
handicap. Yes, I think he, could have
won. He has been forcd down in the
books to such an extent that he must
have finished a favorite, and I very
much regret having to take him out
1 cannot possibly run him now.

WASHINGTON. May 22.-Some re-
cent exploits on the sea have set Amer
leans talking about their national rec
ord in naval warfare. In connection
with these "reminiscences 1t may be re-
called that the present war is not the
first in which Porto Rico has figured in
a hostile way. Seventy years ago
it was a nest for Spanish pirates who
preyed upon our commerce. Commo-
dore Porter accordingly sent written
protest to the authorities of the island;
and Lieut. w. H. Cooke, commanding
the brig Fox, attempting to enter the
port of San Juan to receive their an
swer, was fired upon and killed. Porter
threatened to lombard the town, but
was dissuaded by an abject apology
from the authorities. Later, in the
same year, Lieut.. Platt, learning that
an American merchant OF st. Thomas
had been robbed by these Porto Rico
pirates, who had stored their booty at a
little port called Foxado, sailed thither
on his brig the Beagle, and. in COM
pany with another lieutenant named
Richie, demanded the return of the
property. Both officers were arrested
and kept imprisoned for twenty-four
hours. AS soon as Porter heard Of it
he started straight for Foxado and de-
manded redress. News reached him on
the way that the Spanish authorities
were preparing to attack him on his ar
rival. He put large force of blue
Jackets and marines ashore at con-
venient point, stormed the Spanish bat
teries on the land side and whipped the
enemy into submission.
EARLY DAY TROUBLES.
Most Of our troubles in those days
were in the other hemisphere. Com
modore Downes, in February, 1882, was
informed that the Malays had captured
an American ship, the Friendship, hall
ing from Salem, Mass, and maltreated
the ships company. The commodore
organized an expedition from his own
staff on the flagship Potomac, headed
by Leuts. Shubrick, Hoff, 1ngersoll,
Totten and Edison. Although the Ma
lays made a desperate resistance they
were defeated and some Of their forts
destroyed.
In 1854 the Chinese at Shanghai at
