CINCINNATI ON A ROCK.
American Cruiser Strikes While
Leaving Santiago-WOrk of Re-
leasing Her Begun.

Santiago de Cuba. Dec. 19.-While the
United States cruiser Cincinnati was
leaving port about sunset Saturday she
ran full speed upon a rock clearly de-
fined in the charts but not buoyed.
Last September Gen. Leonard Wood,
considering that the absence of a buoy
there might lead to some accident, an
chored small one, the first ever placed
there, but the Bessie, on entering the
harbor one night, carried it away, and
since then there has been no buoy to
mark the location of the rock.
The Cincinnati probably is not serious
~ damaged as she is not making water.
For the last twenty hours the government
collier Southery and the MayhoWer have
been engaged in an effort to pull her off.
Thus far they have been unsuccessful,
but it is hoped they will have better luck
tonight at high tide. The principal risk
now is of tearing a hole in the cruisers
bottom while pulling her off.
Capt. G.. NJ. Chester, the cruisers COM
mander, insists that the landmarks are in
the wrong places and have not been al
tered in any way since the American oc-
cupation. Pilots are not compulsory upon
the entrance Of warships, but the Senti-
ago harbor is difficult and a warship
should invariably take one. Hereafter q
large buoy will mark the rock upon which
the Cincinnati struck.

SCHLEY'S SIDE OF 1T.
The Admiral Makes a Report Tell
ing of the Movements of His
Squadron in the Blockade.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 19.-The navy
department has made public a report
from Admiral Schley covering that part
Of the operations and movements of the
flying squadron from its sailing from Key
West for CienfuegOs up to but not in
Guiding the first bombardment. The re-
port says regarding the orders received
from Admiral Sampson directing Schley,
then off Cienfucgos, to move eastward
with the squadron to Santiago:
Also Oh May % the Hawk arrived
with dispatches from Admiral Sampson,
directing me to move eastward with the
squadron to Santiago if satisfied that the
enemys vessels were not in Cenfuegos
Not being satisfied at this time that they
were not there, L held my position, being
further strengthened in my opinion by
the fact that | was informed by the cap
tain of the British steamer Adula that
when he left Kingston a telegram had
been received on the Thursday preceding
my arrival off Cienfuegos stating that
the Spanish squadron had sailed from
Santiago.
The Iowa, Castine and Dupont took
coal from the collier on that day, the
Iowa particularly needing coal as she
had sailed from Key West to join this
squadron before completely supplied, and
consequently was considerably short.
the squadron stood to sea to the east
ward. The run to Santiago was marked
by rain and rough weather to such an eX-
tent that the Eagle fell behind so much
as to seriously delay the squadron. On
arriving off Santiago de Cuba the collier
Merrimac was disabled. This served as
q further embarrassment to the squad
ron, and 1t appeared absolutely necessary
10 abandon the position off Santiago and
seek Il place where the vessels could be
coaled and the Golfers machinery re-
paired.
After standing to the eastward for
about three hours, or about twenty-five
miles, the conditions became less unfavor-
able. lnasmuch as it was known that in
case the Spanish squadron had reached
Santiago Admiral Sampson was axle to
block any movement of the enemy
through the Bahama channel my inten-
ton IN standing to the westward was,
should it become necessary, to bar any
effort CT the enemy to reach Havana by
Q dash through the Yucatan channel. On
the 2Sth inst. in the afternoon, having
managed to get sufficient coal into these
vessels to enable them to remain with
the squadron, shaped course for Santiago,
off which port we arrived about dusk.

WANT AMERICAN CASH.
Japan and Russia Said to be Nego-
tiating for a Big Loan in
This Country.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Japan is trying to
negotiate a loan in this country. This is
the statement of well-informed legation
attache here. Russia also is after a loan
according TO another story. The surpris-
ing news that two great countries as hos
tile to each other as Japan and Russia
should be striving to raise money in this
country is interesting all ofIicialdom.
1t may be said on authority that Japan
needs the money ostensibly to meet q
deficit in her revenues produced by heavy
expenditures for land and sea armament
and also to assist her in the establishment
Of national industrial bank. That is
Japan's official explanation of her needs.
IN diplomatic circles it is shrewdly sus
pected that Japan is preparing herself for
an ultimate struggle with Russia and has
been hurried by the activity of Russia III
borrowing $50, 100000 10 replace her ar
tillery with rapid-fre guns.
1t was learned at one of the legations
that this loan, recently made in France
is only One-fourth of what Russia actually
needs, and that Russia has come to this
country for assistance because she failed
to get all she wished from France, owing
to the fact that Russia declined to inter
fere in the Fashoda affair 1t is presumed
that Japan and Russia between them will
want S400,00O,000.

A Line 10000 Miles Long To he
Laid on the Bed of the
Pacific Ocean.

New York, Dee. 19.-Thc cable which
is to connect the United States with the
Philippine islands is to be laid by the
Pacific Gable company of New York. and
is to be 10000 miles in length.
1t will touch en- route at Hawaii. the
island of UaIan, among the Carolnes.
and thence will go to Guam. the south
ernmost island of the Ladrones, thence
to Manila, crossing the island on the east
ern side.
1t will weigh about twenty-eisht tons
to the mile, and IS per cent will be al
lowed over the actual distance required.
so that the cable can adapt itself 10 the
sinuosities of the ocean bed. This is
necessary, so that there will be no great
tension on the line, which will rest entire
ly on q solid bottom. so to speak
The cable will cost about $1,000 q mile
to make and lay, and if the bill now
before Congress granting the company
various concessions both at Monterey,
where it will have its American ternli-
nus. and at Manila and intermediate
points, goes through, work will be begun
in six weeks.
Two years will be consumed in the
manufacture and placing of the cable
and III the meantime Il geOdetic survey
Will lay out its course across the Pa
cific.
On the commercial and governmental
Importance Of the new cable prominent
men have expressed themselves as fol-
lows:
Secretary of the Navy Long-I don't
think there can be any question about
the advisa bility and necessity of connect
ing the United States with its remote
possessions, such as Hawaii and the Phil
lpplnes. | hope it will be laid as soon as
practical BILE.
Maj. Gen. Mles-As a question of mill
tary eXDedlcncy cable to Manila from
San Francisco Will commend itself to All
military men if the Philippine islands or
any part of them are to be retained by
the government. All the circumstances
are arguments for the laying Of the pro-
posed cable.
Capt. A. S. Crowninshield, chief of the
bureau of navigation-I do not think that
there could be opposition to the proposed
enterprise. The laying of a cable to Ma
Mia will be of inestimable advantage to
every new interest. and | am confident YOU
will find it Endorsed in every department
of the navy. [ presume that the public,
the navy, the army and all commercial in
terests look to the laying of the cable
from San Francisco to Manila as soon a.
it can be properly done by Congress.
