CAPoTE PROBABLY SAFE.
The Passengers of the BeIvidere
Said to Have Been Rescued.

Said to Have Been Rescued.
New York, May 31.-The news of the
wreck of the steamer Belvidere caused
great excitement at the Cuban Junta to-
day. as Vice President Capote was on
board the vessel. During the afternoon
the anxiety was relieved by a report that
the passengers and crew of the Belvidere
had been rescued by another steamer and
Were on their way to this country.
II. s. Rubens, counsel of the Junta, said:
1--WE have received a cable from our rep
resentatiYe at Kingston that all on board
the Belvidere were taken off safely by the
steamers Ethelwoid and Barnstable. Of
the Boston Fruit Company's line, the for
mer being bound for Philadelphia and the
Barnstable for Boston. Which one of the
two Dr. Capote is on we do not know,
but we feel sure that he Is safe. The re-
port of the rescue has been confirmed by
the companys agents here and at Bos-
ton"
Bennett, Walsh & Company are the Bos-
ton Fruit Company's agents here. Mr..
Bennett said today that the report of the
wreck had been confirmed and that the
Belyidere would be a total loss. Mr.. Ben
nett said he believed that Capote is on
the Ethelwold. bound for Philadelphia.
Spanish responsibility for the wreck was
discussed at the Cuban Junta and there
was n general impression that DR. Ca
pote's presence on board had some
thing to do with il.

in the science of engineering rather than
in the art of war. The work of the ex-
amining board will continue till the full
quota of officers. fifty-three in all. has
been secured.
The First Regiment will be known as
the Seacoast Regiment because II will

coast.
Recruiting offices have been opened in
New York. Boston, Philadelphia Norfolk,

The law under which the brigade will
be recruited provides that each regiment

THE IMMUNE REGIMENTS.
Two Companies From the District

to Be Mustered in Today.
Two companies of the Fourth United
States Volunteer Regiments of immune
infantrymen will be examined by board
Of officers consisting of Col ]. 8. Petit.
Fourth United States Volunteer Infantry,
and Capt. Jesse NJ. Lee, Ninth Infantry,
at No. 5l2 Eighth Street at 10 o'clock this
morning.
These companies have been nearly re-
cruited up to the standard and will be
mustered into service as soon as passed
by the surgeons accompanying the board.
Capts Mellach and Jorgensen command
the companies. Capt. Mellach's company
is composed of ex-national guardsmen,
and Capt Jorgensen's company was re-
cruited from ex-regular soldiers.
These companies are the quota of the
District of Columbia in the ten regiments
of immunes that are being recruited for
service in Cuba. The War Department
has authorized the enlistments of these
organizations with a view to the special
service they will be able to render TO the
American forces in the dangerous dis
trict of the so called Pearl of the An
TILES which has the reputation of being
the breeding spot of yellow jack on this
hemisphere Each regiment was as
signed TO a certain district and the re-
cruits were expected to be furnished
from the towns in that district and from
no other places.
The territory assigned TO the Fourth
Regiment includes the States of Virginia.
West Virginia and Maryland and the
District of Columbia. Captains Mellach
and Jorgensen were commissioned to en-
list the companies that are to come from
the District of Columbia. Both these
gentlemen have seen long service and are
thoroughly versed in military science.
They were examined and admitted to the
United States service last night and will
muster their respective commands today.
BY immune it does not mean that the
men who compose these companies have
had the yellow fever or the small pox,
it signifies that they are able to take
care of themselves and can adapt them
selves to the climate of the country.

"A large number of dispatches con-
graduating Admiral Dewey upon his VIC

session of Admiral Montijo, the Spanish
commander, whom Dewey yanquished.
The latter courteously transmitted them
to the American admiral.
The demonstrations against the Brit

Spaniards and their sympathizers show
their hostility to the British by insulting
the portraits of Queen Victoria when
ever they see one displayed.

ness aboard the American cruiser Boston
Admiral Dewey promised the Spanish
authorities that he would not lombard

proposed to tax gas. petroleum. and cleo
