ARE BEGINNING
TO BELIEVE
Navy Department Not So Skep-
teal Regarding the Santi-
ago Engagement.

Washington, June 1.-The naval officials
have been considerably mystified throug h.
out the day by reports of an engagement
off Santiago. AT the outset there was COM
plete skepticism, and disposition to treat
the reported action as a myth. Gradually,
as the day advanced, the corroborative EVIL
dence coming from many quarters, includ-
ing the official announcement from Havana
and Madrid, led the officials to cone sde
that some engagement had taken place,
although they did not II gard 1t as Sc
rious one. No bulletins were issued by the
department during the day, and at the
close of Office hours it was stated thai no
dispatches from Commodore Schey had
been received during the day. There is
reason to believe, however, that the de-
partment received indirect adyices through
the state department possibly not bearing
out the detailed press dispatches, but suffi-
cient to indicate that all engagement of
some kind hdu occurred at Santiago. The
impression obtained through the afternoon
that in tho execution of general instruc-
tions to all the United States naval conf
manders on the Cuban coast to prevent the
construction or streng henngf of batteries
by the Spaniards, Commodore Schley, cb-
serving work of this kind going on at M rro
castle, had dram his feet up close enough
to stop 1t. 1t is not believed for an instant
that he made any real attempt to enter the
harbor, although 1t is entirely conceivable
that while engaged on the task of shell ng
the shore batteries, finding the ICristcbal
Colon in range he could not resist the
temptation of trying few shots at her.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
Mobile June 1.-The hour of departure
of the six regiments OF regulars from Cen
eral Coppingers camp is drawing nigh.
Two of these regiments will go to Manila.
The others are for Cuba.
Though it is impossible to get official in
formation from headquarters, this much
has leaked uot through a source unques-
tionably authentic. The Fifth cavalry and
Nineteenth cavalry received orders to-
night for immediate movement by rail, via
New Orleans to San Francisco, there to
join General Merritt's Philippine forces
1t was regarded as singular today when the
Second cavalry, Third, Eleventh and Twen-
tieth infantry began loading personal bag
gage on board the five transports, leaving
out the Fifth and Nineteenth. This has
been explained by the latter orders.
Delay May Occur
Some delay may be occasloned in collect
ing a sufficient number of coaches for the
last named commands which number 1900
men and about twelve hundred head Of
stock, including cavalry chargers and pack
and wagon mules The Manila troops may
not leave before Friday.
Tonight detachments of the four other
regular regiments continued hustling per-
sonal equipments aboard the Matteawan,
Breakwater, Saltwater, Clearwater Aran-
sas and Morgan Army wagon trains are
numbering through streets to the wharf at
a late hour and officers in charge of the
loading, while refusing to talk have
lunches with them and evidently will work
all night. Orders were issued this evening
excusing the regulars from early morning
drill, Indicating departure, possible tomor-
row afternoon.
Warships in Waiting
The five transports have not sufficient ca
pacity to carry the four regiments destined
for Cuba, and it. is stated that only four
troops-T, C, d and L of the Second cav
alry-will go with this expedition, the 9TH
ers to follow as soon as more transports ar
rive AS wired last night, warships are
now in the vicinity of Fort Morgan to con-
voy the troops. The First Louisiana regi-
ment has reached the camp, increasing the
volunteer force here to 5000. Two negro
companies, one from Troy and the other
from Huntsville, arrived at Major Billiards.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: Toa senator
who called upon him to ask some
serious questions as to the policy of
the administration, President Mckinley
said: Il do not propose to do anything
at all to precipitate war with Spain.
Up to the present l do not think that
war is either necessary or inevitable. l
would be lax in my duty, however, if L
did not prepare for the future. The
situation is grave, and the policy of
the administration will be determined
almost entirely by the course of events
from time to time There is no neces-
sity of alarming the people, but con-
gress must be ready to assist the adj
ministration without making too
many inquiries as to the course of cur
rent events"

REINBECK, Feb. 25.-Minnie Foght
was shot by Richard Clausen, a 15-year-
old boy. Clausen was in the employ
of Mr.. Foght, and asked for shotgun
to go hunting. The request was re-
fused, and the girl insisted that he was
too young to use firearms, to which he
replied that he would show them who
could use firearms. When Mr.. Foght
was in the field, young Clausen shot at
Miss Minnie through window and
most seriously wounded her, the bullet
of rifle he had procured lodging in
her head. The girl was found lying in
a pool of blood. and after search
Clausen's body was found hanging life
less to a rafter in the barn. where he
had ended his own life. Medical as
sistance was brought to Miss Foght,
but her recovery is doubtful. The
coroner's inquest developed the fact
that Clausen attempted to get poison
with the expressed intention of killing
himself. Clausen was crazed with d
ranking desire for revenge, and many
feel that he should be given no

WAR IN CUBA MUST CEASE.
President Mckinley Preparing an Ulti-

matum Tor transmission to Spain.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-President
Mckinley is preparing to move upon
Spain. Within sixty days he will pre-
sent to the Madrid government de-
mand that the war in Cuba be stopped.
This demand has been already decided
upon, but the terms in which it to be
expressed will not be arranged till
after the Maine incident is cleared up
and the Spanish note now in transit to
this country has been received. The
demand which the president has re-
solved to make of Spain does not mean
war, necessarily, but it does mean
peace in Cuba and "a cessation of the
horrors of the situation now existing
in that island. 1t may bring on a crit
ical situation. but probably no hostil-
tiles. The president will point out to
Spain that the situation in Cuba is in
tolerable to the United States; that
there are no signs of settlement by
Spain alone: that as matters now look
the war is likely to go on indefinitely;
that this government has waited
patiently for the experiment of a new
administration and new policy in
Cuba, but that no good appears to have
come from them; that autonomy is n
failure, and that neither from the civil
nor military point of view has General
Blanco achieved a success; that many
thousands of people are starving, with
no prospect of an amelioration of their
condition.

Those who are studying the wheat
situation are interested in the fact that
the worlds available wheat supply on
February l was 100000 bushels as
against 173,00O,000 bushels a year ago.
Wheat is now commanding the highest
prices in years and indications are
that it will reach much higher figures
before the new crop is harvested. The
Chicago wheat syndicate is disposing
OF its holdings at fancy prices, and
when this stock disappears, the re-
sources of the country will be severely
taxed to meet the demand. The Chi
cago market advanced three cents last
week, and it is expected that all rec
ords for high prices will be broken be-
fore the deal is closed.

The editor Of a Nebraska paper says
he has reached the slope on the other
side of life," but never yet has he seen
a woman with frost-bitten ear, and
never yet has bonnet been built so
as to keep the head warm. Other men
have noticed that women dressed for
the party have ridden miles in the
coolest night without particle of the
discomfort felt by their warmly
dressed escort. These are curious
facts, the scientists apparently do not
know how to account for them.
