New York. May 10.-The report cabled to
Madrid by Capt Gen. Blanco that the
United States cruiser Cincinnati had
foundered of the coast of Cuba was evil
IDENTIFY founded on the fact that some of
the Cincinnatis furniture had foated
ashore. A letter received here today
from an officer on the Cincinnati explains
how this occurred.
Under date of April "a he writes:
Friday morning we followed after the
fleet and caught UP on the way to Ha-
vana, where We all arrived about dark.
Next morning. Saturday, we started as
one of the squadron to blockade Matan-
zas. Working along on the right or in
shore side. we sighted a vessel that soon
proved to be a man of war. We went to
quarters and cleared for action
'You would be astonished to see how
quickly 1t was done. but the destruction
Of property was sad. Mess tables, chests
and lockers were hurled into the ocean.
1 got eager and when We found the
stranger was an italian. was somewhat
disappointed, 50 We cleared up the wreck
and now float several inches higher out of
wafer"
The name Cincinnati was probably on
some of the stun thrown overheard in
clearing for action and when this floated
ashore the Spaniards started the story
that the ship had foundered.

end to end through its center. The low
er or negative carbon is one and a quar-
ter inches in diameter. is fifteen inches
long and also has a soft carbon core In
addition its outer surface is heavily coat
ed with copper. The positive carbon is
set little in front of the negative, and
thus almost all the intense light of the
incandescert crater is cast upon the re-
fiector.
The maximum current at which this
lamp operates is 200 amperes, and at this
current the lamp has luminous intensi-
ty Of about $1,000 to 100 900 candles, the
reflected beam total of about 375 coo GOO
candles.
Ventilators at the top and sides allow
a constant current of air to pass through
the drum and dissipate the heat generat-
ed by the arc lamps and are so arranged
that no light can pass through them The
connections are SO arranged that all NAV
be manipulated by the operator without
moving his position.
Through openings in the drum, covered
by densely colored glass. the operation
of the lamp may be watched and Its ad-
justments verified. The drum is supported
by trunions in bearings at the top of a
Y-shaped fork set in a base plate, which
in turn is supported by system of fric-
ton wheels forming turnable. resting
upon the top of a massive pedestal, upon
which the entire structure rests.
When the first public test of the pro-
jector was made from the roof of the Gen.
eral Electric Company's factory at Sche-
nectady, N. Y, the great white beam of
light shot forth into the obscurity of the
night and slowly swept the countryside
for miles around. bringing every object
upon which it was directed into brilliant
and distinct relief. 1t Illuminated the
roofs Of distant villages, frightened their
Inhabitants and lighted up the signboards
miles away. SO that they could easily be
read by means Of glass.

this instrument can be seen has not yet
been accurately determined. The search

The statement, claimed to be on high

Europe. as a whole prefers that they

THE Presidents policy with respect to
the Philippines is underlined. SO far as
their ultimate disposition is concerned.
For the present they may be considered as
under the control of the military forces
of this Government, and their status will
finally be determined when the treaty of
peace is signed.
''One thing is certain. If the United
States does not retain possession of 81 of
the islands, it will keep a coaling station
in the Far East for the benefit of Ameri-
