American Sailors Perform a Daring Act
While Assailed by a Storm of Shot and
Shell.
Key West, May 16.-Amid a storm of
shot from Spanish batteries, the Amer
lean forces cut the cable at Genfuegos
on Wednesday. -Four boat crews un-
der command of Lieut.. Winslow and
Ensign Magruder from the cruiser
Marblehead and the gunboat Nash
ville put out from the ships, the coast
having previously been shelled. The
work of the volunteers was perilous.
The Marblehead, Nashville and Win
dom drew up 1000 yards from shore
with their guns manned.
One cable had been cut and work was
in progress on the other when the
Spaniards in rife pits and battery in
an old lighthouse standing out in the
bay opened fire. The warships poured
in thunderous volley, their great guns
belching forth massive shells into the
enemy. The crews of the boats pro-
ceeded with their work, notwithstand-
Ing UHe IdCU UudG IL HuuuCT udu ldllCu,
and finished it, returning to the ships
through a heavy fire. One man in a
Marblehead boat was killed and six
were seriously wounded, one Of whom
died here Sunday.
More than 1000 infantrymen on
shore kept up a continuous fire and
the bullets from the machine guns
struck the warships hundred times
but did no great damage.
Commander Maynard, of the Nash
vile, was slightly wounded by rifle
bullet that, before striking him, passed
through the arm of an ensign. Lieut..
Winslow was shot in the hand.
After the Spaniards had been driven
from the rifle pits, many of them took
refuge in the lighthouse fortress, upon
which the fire of the warships had
been centered. A finch she'll from
the Window tore this structure to
pieces, killing many and burying 9th
ers in the ruins. The Spanish loss
was very heavy.

The Navy Department Issues an Order
Curtailing the Supply of Information
Given to Newspapers.
Washington, May 17.-An order post
ed Monday and signed by Secretary
Long relative to the publication of
news emanating from the navy depart
ment had the effect of considerably
curtailing the supply of information
that heretofore has been rather freely
given out. The secretary's order was
directed to Capt. Crowninshield, chief
of the navigation bureau, and he in
turn gave it effect by making an order
in his own name that no person con-
nected with his bureau in any capacity
should have any conversation whatever
upon subjects in any way pertaining
to the navy with representatives of the
press. AS an offset it was ordered that
bulletins of such facts as have actually
occurred and are proper for publica-
tion and are not connected with exist
ing or projected movements, shall be
posted on the bulletin board.
The sum total of the information
published yesterday under this rule
was notice of the intention to start
the Philippine relief expedition and of
the permission given to some foreign
neutral vessels to pass the blockade at
Havana. In explanation of the issue
of this order the naval authorities say
that some of the leading American
newspapers have been so far lacking
in patriotism as to print plans of cam
paign and projected movements of ma
val ships, with the result that the war
board has been obliged to completely
revise it's plans, knowing that the
Spaniards had promptly taken notice
of the publications and were prepared
to profit by them. Complaint was
made to Secretary Long that the news
papers were working injury to the gov
ernment in such cases.
The opening of the blockade at Ha'
vana to certain vessels is rather curl
Gus proceeding that may lead to con,
siderable widening of the blockade
itself, so that in the end neutral YES
sells not loaded with contraband OF
supplies, the carrying of which into
Havana would interfere with the naval
and military operations laid down by
the United States, may be allowed tc
enter the port

King of ViolInists Passes Away in the
Presence of an Audience of 5000 Peo-
pie.
San Francisco, May 16.-Edouard
Remenyi, who has enthralled fashion
able audiences all over the world, fell
dead Sunday at the Orpheum theater
in this city. 1t was Remenyi's first ap-
pearance on the vaudeville stage. As
the great artist appeared and was
greeted with great applause he seemed
immensely pleased at the reception
given him. He played two or three
classical pieces and answered to an en-
core with 'Old Glory" He played as
if inspired. 1t seemed as if he knew
this was TO be the elimination of his
career and that he had determined
that his final appearance should mark
his greatest triumph.
His 5000 auditors, as Remenyi ap-
preached his climax, literally rose
with him, leaving their seats in their
excitement. When the music ceased
the applause was almost deafening and
in response Remenyi commenced to
play Delibe's "Pizzicati. He had just
completed few bars when he leaned
forward as if to speak to one of the
musicians in the orchestra. He seemed
to pause for a minute and then fell
forward on his face. One of the musi.
clans caught him just before he
touched the stage, but he was dead
Remenyi was born in Hungary 64 years
ago. He leaves widow, son and
daughter, who reside in New York.

STlRS UP THEIR WRATH.
Spaniards Go Wild Over the Suggestion
Contained in Chamberlaln's Speech.

London, May 1.-the Rt. Hon.
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary Of state
for the colonies, made an important
speech on public affairs at Birmingham
last evening.
Mr.. Chamberlain, after deprecating
the constant assertions in certain quar-
ters that Lord Salisbury was dis
credited" and the government weak
and vacillating," said: 'If foreign
countries believe and act upon those
statements they will find themselves
much mistaken and that courteous
diplomacy and graceful concessions
are not incompatible with firm main
tenance of the country's honor and in
tereSts."
Then declaring that he intended to
make plain statement of facts, unfet-
tered by the mysteries of the diplo-
macy of half century ago, Mr.. Cham
berlain said he would accept the judg-
ment of the people as willingly as that
of the wisest diplomatist in the world.
Referring to the policy of strict isola-
ton that England has pursued since
the Crimean war, he remarked that
this had been perfectly justifable,"
but he added: 'The time has arrived
when Great Britain may be confronted
by combination of powers, and our
first duty therefore is to draw all parts
of the empire into close unity, and our
next to maintain the bonds of per-
manent unity with our kinsmen across
the Atlantic.
"There is powerful and generous
nation" said Mr.. Chamberlain, speak
ing our language, bred of our race, and
having interests identical with ours.
would go so far as to say that terrible
as war may be, even war itself would
be cheaply purchased if in great and
noble cause the stars and stripes and
the union jack should wave together
over an Anglo-Saxon alliance"
Madrid, May 16.-Spain is not pleased
with the possibility of an alliance be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain.
Spain, it is said, will draw the atten-
tion of the powers to the transcend
ency of the suggested Anglo American
alliance with respect to European in
terests. The Spanish newspapers
and politicians discuss Chamberlain's
speech most angrily.

A sample of spanish rreaobery.

Hong Kong, May ia fresh exam
pie of Spanish treachery has come to
light. 1t is said that the priests and
sisters of charity of the Cavite hospital,
in a procession, bearing crosses, etc,
petitioned Rear Admiral Dewey not to
massacre the sick and wounded, which
he did not do. The Spaniards there
upon thanked the Americans for their
humanity and repaid them by inform
ing them of narrow channel, which
they said, was not mined, while the
broad channel, they explained, was
fully mined. Investigation revealed
the contrary to be the case, and the
mines were blown up by the Americans.

Old Point Comfort, Va, May 14.-The

Schley put to sea at 3:45 o'clock Friday
under sealed orders, The squadron
consists of the flagship Brooklyn, the
first class battleship Massachusetts,,
the second class battleship Texas, the
protected yacht Scorpion and the col
lier Sterling. Last night the cruiser
Minneapolis steamed out to overtake
the squadron. The combination of bat
tleships and cruisers is considered very
formidable and the caliber and num-
Der of guns are both in excess of any
similar squadron as to number in the
world. l.-----

Interesting Story of the Attempt Made by
an American Naval Ofiicer to Secure an
Exchange Of Prisoners.
New York, May IA dispatch from
Key West to the World says: The
World correspondents imprisoned in
Fort Cabanas, in Cuba, are saved. Gen.
Blanco has acceded to representations
made to him Sunday by Lieut.. Brain
ard, U. S. n. AS quickly as two Span
ish officers can reach Key West they
will be taken to Havana under a white
flag to be exchanged, and the World
correspondents will be brought back
to Key West by the same steamer The
London Times war correspondent,
Knight. and the British consul, Gollan,
in Havana, acted vigorously in the
matter. 1t is believed that had Lieut..
Brainards instructions been more
sweeping he could have brought the
men back on the Uncas. Lieut.. Brain
ard reports that the docks of Havana
were lined Sunday with angry people.
Mr. Knight was advised by Consul Col
Ian not to land for fear of mob vio-
lence, because he was brought over by
United States man-of-war.
Key West, May 1.-THE Uncas after
leaving here Sunday morning headed
for Havana and spoke the Mayfower,
which was acting as flagship of the
blockade fleet. Lieut.. Brainard board
ed her and handed sealed orders to the
! captain, who thereupon instructed the
Uncas to hoist a white flag and pro-
ceed into Havana harbor. The Uncas
within signalling distance of Moro
castle she signalled, asking for an an
chorage. The castle signalled back
that it's commander was waiting for
instructions and that the Uncas must
not anchor. After an interval a launch
with the harbor authorities on board
put out from the shore and took on
board Lieut.. Brainard and Mr.. Knight
the correspondent of the London
Times, who had been chosen to negoti-
ate the exchange of prisoners.
As the launch was returning to the
shore she was met by Gen. Blanco's
launch coming out with Gen. Blanco's
aide de camp and Mr.. Gollan, British
consul general. The boats drew to-
gether and a conference was had.
Lieut.. Brainard and Mr.. Knight were
assured that Messrs. Thrall and Jones
were absolutely safe and were being
treated with every consideration. 1t
was added that Gen. Blanco would be
willing to release them the moment the
United States authorities send him two
Spanish prisoners in exchange. Mr..
Knight was told he could not land at
Havana from an American boat, in
spite of the flag of truce, and it was
explained to him that if he desired to
reach Havana he must go there on a
ship belonging to some neutral power.
The Uncas then returned to Key West
and delivered this information to the
department. 1t is understood that two
Spanish captives now in Fort McPher-
son, Atlanta, will be promptly sent
down and the exchange of prisoners
will be consummated without further
trouble.

Scarcity of Food in the
Beleaguered CITY.

Washington, May 16. "A dispatch
from Hong Kong brought welcome
news yesterday from Admiral Dewey
to the president, Secretary Long and
the naval officials who are watching
the admiral's movements with so mu6ta
interest. The telegram indicates that
Dewey has lost none of the prestige
gained in his memorable fight two
weeks ago and that while he refrains
from taking the city of Manila he has
it practically at his mercy.
The best evidence of the effective
ness of the blockade maintained by the
American admiral and also of the work
OF the insurgents in surrounding the
city is shown in the statements in the
dispatch that provisions are scarce
In Manila, which seems to indicate to
Admiral Dewey an early surrender by
the Spanish authorities Another pub
hshed report seems also to be refuted
by the admiral's advices and that is
that the rebels had raided Cavite,
where the Spanish naval station was
located, and where presumably large
supplies of arms and ammunition were
kept. If the rebels have been supply
ing themselves with arms it must have
been with the admiral's consent, as his
dispatch is originally dated from Cavite
indicating that he is still in possession.
The dispatch is as follows:
Cavite, May Maintaining strict blockade
Reason to believe that the rebels are hemming
In the city by land but have made no demon
stration. Scarcity of provisions in Manila
Probable that the Spanish governor will be
obliged to surrender soon Can take Manila
at any moment Climate hot and moist. On
May IL captured gunboat Callao while attempt
ing to run blockade Have plenty coal One
British, one French, two German and one Jap
anese vessel here observing DEWEY
The officials are making all possible
haste to rush troops to supplement Ad-
miral Dewey's forces, so that if the
Spanish governor does surrender the
former will not be dependent upon the
small number of marines which he can
lily spare from his ships, but will have
the assistance of soldiers in holding
his position. About IL, 900 men will be
sent to Dewey.

THE French must be the most CD
rious people on EARTH" writes Lillian
Bell in a letter from Paris to the La

even Heavenly ingenuity create more
uncommon or bewildering contradic-
ton and combination? Make up your
mind that they are as simple as chill

nicking along the boulevards and in
the parks with their whole families.
yet you dare not trust yourself to hear
what they are saying. Believe that
they are cynical, and fin de steele, and
skeptical OF all women when you hear
two men talk, and the next day you
hear that one of them has shot him
self on the grave of his sweetheart.
Believe that politeness Is the ruling
characteristic of the country because a
man kisses your hand when he takes
leave of you. But marry him, and no
insult is too low for him to heap upon
you. Believe that the French men are
sympathetic because they laugh and
cry openly at the theatre. But appeal
to their chivalry, and they will rescue
you from one discomfort only to Of
fer you a worse. The French have
sentimentality. but rot sentiment.
They have gallantry, but not chivalry.
They have vanity, but not pride. They
have religion, but not morality. They
are a combination of the widest ex-

close to the railroad tracks that the
