A Quarantine Question

DENVER, May 12.-Wm. Penn Ander-
son, special agent Of the Union Stock
Yards and Transit company of Chicago
reported to the recording secretary of the
National Livestock association today that
Governor Holcomb of Nebraska has prom
ised to send man to inspect trainload
of California cattle, billed into and through
Nebraska from Denver, until complete
arrangements can be perfected to avoid the
entanglements arising from one state max
ing quarantine ground Of another. Con-
centrating the whole force Of inspection al
points Of origin. absolute safety Is assured
thus removing by clean and concise work
even the suspicion of contagion. Mr.. An.
derson said Sacramento, CAL, seemed to be
the best strategic point for the purpose.
Such an arrangement will privilege the
owner to both railway ad market com.
petition, as well as avoid the probability
of detention which might be caused either
by accident or unforeseen diversion Of ship
ment.

ON THE MARCH
Many More Regiments on the Way to
Tampa

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 1.-THE
Second Regiment OF Infantry marched
from Camp Thomas to Rossville this
morning, and there boarded the Southern
Railway trains for Tampa. The Seventh
and Sixteenth Infantry Regiments march
ed nine miles to Ringgold, Ga, where the
Western and Atlantic trains were taken
for Atlanta. The First and Tenth Regi-
ments of Cavalry, originally ordered to
New Orleans, but later to Tampa, will get
out tomorrow. The work of removal is
progressing more slowly than expected.
1t is now doubtful II the entire army
will be OFF before Saturday night. Twenty
carloads of provisions for the volunteers
are arriving daily. Almost every building
in the city Is being used for storage pur-
poses.
The soddy Coal Company of this city mas
received an order for twenty-five cars CT
coal daily until further orders. The coal
is shipped to Tampa and put aboard the
war vessels there.
Recruits continue to come in rapidly.
They are assigned to the various regiments
and sent on to the front.
General Lee, Quartermaster for General
Brookes, speaking unofficially, said that
the Second Cavalry, which left last night
for Mobile, might not remain at that place
more than day. The indications are that
all available cargoes will be put into Cuba
without delay.

OFF HAVANA
Alleged News From Sampson-Reck
lessness Ordered Stopped

Alleged News From Sampson-Reck-
lessness Ordered Stopped
NEW YORK, May ia dispatch to the
Herald from Key West, Fla, says:
Your correspondent was informed by the
captain Of the Vicksburg, when he hailed
that vessel Wednesday, that news had
reached the blockading fleet of an action
between Rear Admiral SIMPSONS SQUAD
ron and the Spanish Cape Verde fleet east
of Hayti, in which the latter had sustained
crushing defeat.
The British cruiser Talbot, which entered
Havana last week to bring off. as reported.
English residents in that city, left there
Wednesday.
Great excitement was caused among the
blockading squadron by the appearance of
big warship leaving Havana, and it was
thought for time that the Alfonso XII,
which is disabled there, had been able to
put to sea. The white ensign, however
was soon made out at the strangers gan,
and the American warships that had been
racing in to meet her slowed down and re-
turned to their stations with the exception
Of the Mayfower. This ship closed in and
exchanged a salute with the British
cruiser.
The game Of drawing the fire of the Ha-
vana forts is still kept up with great spirit.
1t was originally played by the smaller
cruisers and gunboats. but now even the
government tugs attached to the blockad-
ing squadron take a hand
The Tecumseh, for no apparent reason
except the fun Of the thing, went well
within range of the Santa Clara battery
Saturday and came near being blown out
of the water. A Pinch shell burst within
twenty yards of the vessel and another
passed close over her, fortunately without
doing damage. 1t Is said that the Commo-
dore in command of the blockade issued
orders that no vessel is to approach within
range Of the guns at Havana without spe-
cial instructions.
Quantities of arms and ammunition have
been landed in Cuba for the use of the
insurgents, and Blanco's recent order con-
centrating the Spanish troops in the
province of Havana has left the greater
portion of the island In control of Gomez q
men.

FINANCIAL PROPOSALS
ARE ADOPTED By THE SPANISH

Associated Press Special Wire

MADRID, May H. p. m.-The senate
adopted the financial proposals of the gov
eminent. Senior Puigceiver, minister Of
finance. replying to the fear expressed rel
clared that the government would act with
the utmost caution.
7p. m.-This evening the whole town Is
decorated with the national colors. The
society ladies sold red and yellow flowers
in large tent at a high figure, the pro-
oeeds going to the national fund.
The bull ring today was packed to suffo-
cation. The boxes were filled with the
highest society and the most beautiful
women in Madrid, nearly all wearing white
mantillas. The opening procession was Of
Unprecedented splendor.
II p. NIT is said that Senior Moret, Sec
rotary for the colonies, and Senior Gullon,
foreign minister, have resigned. Admiral
Marmijo, minister of marine, and Count
Xiquena, minister Of public works. are
also said to have resigned.
The retiring ministers offer various ex-
cuses, such as illness and WEAKNESS. for
their Withdrawals. Senior Sagasta begged
them to remain until the indemnity bill
had been passed, but 1t is believed at to-
nights cabinet council the designations be-
came definite, though it is impossible to
verify the exact situation at this hour.
Senior Moret pleaded WEAKNESS and
Count xiquena Illness.
$50 a. NIT turns out that Admiral Ber-
mejo, on learning of the Cavite disaster.
told Senior Sagasta that he must resign,
owing to the delicacy of his position, though
1t is felt that he is not responsible for the
defenses of Manila.
According to the last forecast, the new
ministry will consist Of Senior Sagasta. as
president; Senior Croissard, minister of
justice of the dissofving cabinet, as minis
ter of foreign affairs; Senior Aunon, as min
lister of marine; Senior Romero Giron. as
minister of justice; and the duke of Vera
qua. the descendant of Columbus, as min
lister of public works.
The new cabinet will probably be con-
stituted Saturday.
The general opinion is that it will endure
until the budget is passed and collapse at
the first opportunity afterward.
The changes, however, are pacific in ten
dency Senior Gullon having been the most
warlike element in the dissolving cabinet.
The whereabouts of the Atlantic squadron
still remains undivulged, ministers refusing
to give any information on the subject.
Official dispatches from Havana CONFIRM
the reports of an American repulse at
Cienfuegos They assert that the firing
lasted eight hours and that the American
losses were heavy. According to these dis
patches, great enthusiasm prevails In
Cuba.
Owing to the increased price Of food, there
have been serious disturbances at the Rio
Tinto mines, province of Huelva. The riot
ors. wrecked the octroi ONCE and sacked a
number of tobacco stores. The military
now occupy the whole mining district.

SPANISH PATRIOTS
Attend Bull Fight for Their Coun-
try's Honor

MADRID, May u, 2 p.m.-It seemed this
afternoon as if the entire population OF
Madrid was thronging to the bull ring. AT
the patriotic bull fight to raise funds for
the navy, as at the recent gala perfor-
nance, there was a grand patriotic turn
out. But the latter was an expression OF
patriotism on the part of the aristocracy
and today it was the people who exhibited
the patriotic feeling. The seats sold at
fabulous prices, all the receipts being de-
voted to the navy fund. Every available
vehicle was requisitioned and thousands
on foot formed long procession waiting
admission and all wearing the national
colors, the women having the yellow and
red of Spain in their hair and on their
breasts, the men displaying the colors at
their buttonholes or in their cravats, while
the trappings of the horses were bedecked
with the Spanish colors. The stores were
closed and the cafes packed with people
heatedly discussing the probabilities of the
war. No one dared speak of peace.

tirely completed, but is nearly so. For
fourteen days the government tugboat

The Unadilla did the work mostly at

The harbor is now not only defended by
heavy batteries. but by complete field Of
torpedoes, the location of which is kept
