TWO PRIZES BROUGHT IN.
Norwegian Steamer and a Spanish
Fishing Boat.

KEY WEST. Fla, May 1O.-The Nor
wegian steamer Bratsberg was brought
in this morning under the convoy of
the Mangrove, a prize of war; The af-
fair bears many features of resem-
blance to that of the French steamer
Lafayette, but, like that case, it will
be settled without any international
complications.
Two weeks ago the Bratsberg, bound
from Progreso, Mexico, for Havana, was
warned off the Cuban coast by the
blockading fleet. Yesterday morning the
gunboat Newport sighted her about
twenty-five miles Off Havana. Capt.
Thcrson stoutly denied that he was at
tempting to slip past the blockade, but
he could not satisfactorily explain his
actions, and was sent in under the
Mangrove's escort, in company with the
fishing smack Fernandito, taken by
the Vicksburg off Havana yesterday.

LITTLE NAVAL AFFAIR
A TORPEDO BOAT ATTACKS
THREE SPANISH GUNBOATS
One Result off the Battle Is Proof
That There Are Mines In The HaP-
Dor of Cafdenas, Which Is I'm
pOrtant, as an Attempt May he
Made to Land the Troops ut That
Point.

OFF CARDENAS, May 20 Con board
the dispatch boat SpenceD.-The tor
pedo boat Winslow yesterday precipi-
tated the first naval engagement in
Cuban waters. On a reconnaissance In
Cardenas harbor, she drew the fire of
three Spanish coast guard vessels, and
little sea fight followed with the gun
boats. AS the Winslow was in the
minority, she ran for the open sea,
where the gunboat Machias, which had
been called up by the firing, took a
hand in the game with her four-inch
rifles, and tossed several shells over
the low sand spit, behind which the
Spanish boats were sheltered.
1t was impossible to see whether any
of these landed. The Winslow was not
touched, but she claims to have knock
ed a few splinterS out of the larger
coast guard boat.
The most important result of the
Winslow's reconnaissance was the dis
covery that CardenaS harbor is mined
If there are any batteries on shore, the
Spaniards did not think it worth while
to disclose their position
That there are mines in the channel
is important, in view of the report that
it is CardenaS and not Matanzas where
the United States forces will land.
The French sloop of war Fulton, g.
school snip, passed out of Havana har-
Dor a day or two ago, unmolested by
the blockading fleet.
The Spanish soldiers are displaying
much activity along the line of coast
from Bahia Honda, forty-five miles
west of Havana, to Cardenas, sixty-five
miles to the eastward

WILL PoPULIsTs CHANGER
The Date of Congressional C0nvcn-
ton Already Announced.

The Populist congressional committee met
avenue, and received delegations from the
congressional committees of the Democrats
and silver Republicans. George M. Blocker
spoke for the Democrats, urging the Popu-
lists not to do anything of Importance with
out conference with the other fusion parties.
He said that any Independent action by the
Populists looking toward the nomination of
any particular individual prejudices their
cause with the Democrats and makes it
dopbly difficult for those in favor of fusion
to carry the full strength of the Democratic
wing with them. He cautioned the COM
mittee very seriously against letting the
present date for their congressional conven-
ton, June 4, stand, without conference about
it. H. NJ. Parker advanced the same ideas
in behalf of the silver Republicans and sug-
gested that the Populist committee appoint
from the other parties this evening at 2O5
Boston block, to confer to the date for
the congressional convention.
The Democrats were reported in favor Of
the same date as for the county convention
The Populist committee took these sugges-
ticns under consideration and appointed the
committee asked for, follows: R. P. Hos
gan, ]. McElroy. Some doubt is expressed
that the committee, which has full power to
act will agree to make any change in the
date already fixed. The dates for county and
state conventions have been set by the Popu-
lists and the other fusion parties have had
to come to them 1t is felt now that the
Populists should concede something to the
cured. The chairman of the state central
committee has issued the call for a special
convention on June I, for the election of del.
eSateS to the state convention.

FARGO. n. D., May 10. - Mayor
johnson will announce his candidacy
for the senate to succeed Senator John
II. Haggart, recently appointed United
States marshal for North Dakota, in
the Argus, tomorrow morning Mr..
Johnson, who is serving his second
term as mayor, has twice bolted the
Republican city convention, and de-
feated the regular RepI blican nomi-
nee for mayor. Notwithstanding this
fact. however, Mr.. Johnson will go be-
fore the city primaries seeking a nomi-
nation.
He viii be opposed either by George
Osgcod or Rev. w. l.. Van Horn.
As a side issue, Mayor johnson to-
day brought suit against J. B. Rad
ford. a bonanza farmer in Warren, for
$4,000 damages for remarks alleged
to have been made by Mr.. Radford on
April l.
1t is alleged that Radford reflected
on the actions of the mayor while in
Bismarck in the interests Of the city,
and the complaint charges him with
connecting the mayors name with that
of some woman who was at the capital
at that time.
This is an outcome of the recent mu-
nicipal campaign, and will still further
air some of the charges made during
the campaign.

FOR THE REGULAR ARMY
MAI. WILKINSON RECRUITING
FOR THE SERVICE
Third Regiment Only About
One-Third Of These to- BE Re-

Martin Assaulted IN the Night
With n Razor.

1t was late yesterday afternoon when
the recruiting office opened in Mime
apolis by Maj. Wilkinson began the
work of examining applicants for serv-
Ice in the United States army During
the early hours Of the day fully half
hundred men appeared at the head
quarters on the second floor of the
Globe building, and all were told to
come again at later hour, when their
cases would be considered. Maj. Will
l6inson is but one of three officers de-
tached from the Third regiment to Sc
cure new men to bring the regiment
up to a war footing, the other two
being sent elsewhere, and therefore 1t
Will not be necessary to secure the en-
tire 700 men wanted in this city, al
though from appearances it would seem
as easy matter to secure an entire
regiment in Minneapolis alone
The necessary blanks and papers are
not yet here, and as yet no surgeon
for examining duty has been secured.
In consequence the work will drag for
few days, and the applicants will be
sent out to Fort Smelling for the neces-
sary physical examination.
Maj. Wilkinson was absent at the
fort during the afternoon, leaving Ser
geant Morecroft and Private E. E. Full
Ter in charge Of the Office. In a little
over an hour the following men were
enlisted: Nels Leonard, William Nor
timer and Charles Sawyer, of Mime
apolis; Harry Gum, of Zunbrota, and
Bertram Dickinson, of Minnehaha
Falls.
Applicants, to be acceptable, must be
unmarried, between the ages Of eigh-
teen and thirty-five, Of good moral
character able to read and write the
English language, and must be citi-
zens of the United States or have de-
clared their intention to become citi-
zens. The term of service for which
they are enlisted is three years.
Among the callers yesterday were
several local individuals who informed
the recruiting officers that they had
lists of men who had enlisted as volun-
teers in companies which had expected
to take part in the first call for troops
and who were anxious now to join the
regular army. One of these men claim
ed he could furnish fully $50 able
bodied men.
