BEEN IDENTIFIED

He Had Cipher to Fifty-Nine
Charts of Important Harbors on

NEW YORK, May pa special from
Key West was that the man arrested
yesterday on board the steamer Pana-
ma on suspicion of being a Spanish
spy Is Lieut.. Sobral, formal naval at
tache of the Spanish legation at Wash
ington.
KEY WEST, May 25.-The investi-
cation OF the case of the suspected
Spanish spy, Remigro Zapatero Jimi-
nez, passenger on the prize steamer
Panama, was continued today by the
federal authorities, and brought out
some new facts. While the suspicion
involving the whole affair has increas-
ed, positive evidence sufficient to war
rant conviction is still lacking.
A search Of Jiminez's effect revealed
a cipher letter which turned out to he

to the vicinity of Norfolk, New York
Boston and Providence harbors. and
the inlets around Tampa. All the Flor
ida keys and the Tortugas are also
explained in detail. The bill for these
charts is made out in the name of M
Rapurta.
Under examination, Jiminez at first
asserted that he had shipped to Rapur-
ia at some South American port on
April IS, but later he contradicted this
and eventually declared that he had
made them for the United States naval
commission at New York.
More papers found on him apparently
verified this, showing that he had
bought the charts from a New Yorl,
firm, on April 10, for s2725 and sold
them to the naval commission for $40
A vigorous search failed to locate
the charts.
Jiminez swears that he was an en-.
gineer in the Spanish navy in Cuban
waters, but ran away in 1890, since
which time he has lived in New York
at No. n Fourth avenue. An old
sword and pair of new eaaulettes
found in his trunk were, he said, a par
of his equipment.

surrender of the Spanish squadron and

ago harbOr until starvation causes the
surrender of the Spanish squadron and
the forts of Santiago That this can
be done is not doubted by naval ex-
perts, as the narrow channel connect
ing the inner harbor with the sea, re-
ouiring any Spanish ships to emerge
singly, would expose them to almost
certain destruction at the hands of a
couple Of armored cruisers or monitors
commanding the entrance. OF course,
there is always the danger Of these
watchdogs being themselves attacked
and destroyed by some Of the torpedo
GunbOat destroyerS attached to Ger
Vera's squadron, providing their COM
manders are desperate enough to face
the tremendous primary and secondary
batteries of the American warships.
There is also some risk of an attack
on the blockading vessels from without.
The news has reached the navy de-
partment today that the Spanish tor
pedo gunboat Terror had cleared out
of the harbor of Port de France, after
having taken coal from the Alicante.
NINETY DAYS GRACE.
IT give the Spanish squadron a three
months lease OF life II they are IN
Santiago harbor,' said a prominent
naval officer this morning. He ex-
planned that he based this calculation
on the length of time that the supplies
of the fleet would hold out. Long be-
fore that time expired the town of San
tiago, which probably will be cut off
entirely by the insurgents and, perhaps,
by the United States troops, will be
practically starved, but, following the
Spanish practice elsewhere, Havana
and Manila for instance, the military
and naval forces, appropriating all the
food supplies. would hold out longer.
The long wait involved in this calcu.a-
ton, the officer explained, would have
very substantial compensation in the
probable requirement by the United
States of the splendid vessels that go
to make up the Spanish squadron
through their surrender. They repre-
sent in money value alone about $15,-
600, 900, and have an additional value to
the United States at this juncture that
cannot be expressed in figures.

were up and the vessels were under
way. Then the $500 soldiers who had
been waiting for the signal to start let
themselves loose. They climbed to the
rigging and swarmed all over the big
ships, cheering like mad.
FAREWELL SALUTE.
The transports steamed slowly along
the water front, and the crowd on
shore raced along to keep them in
sight. The noise made by patriotic
citizens on sea and shore was some
thing terrible. Every steam whistle in
the city appeared to be blowing, can
non were fired, and the din lasted for
fully an hour.
AS the Australia passed Alatraz ISL
and in the lead of the other ships the
battery of United States artillery sta
toned here fired salute to Gen. An
derson. The co-ors were dipped in rec
ognition and the steamships sounded
their sirens.
The boats, small and large, followed
as the transports moved slowly for
ward, and not until the heavy swells
of the Pacific were encountered did
they turn back. It was shortly after S
o'clock when the vessels entered the
ocean. When last seen the transport
fleet was steaming slowly to the SOUTH
west.
After the pilots were dropped the
vessels went ahead at full speed, and

OFFICIALS WON'T TALK.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Navy de-
partment officials refuse to say where
the Oregon has gone, They admit that
the big battleship is no longer at Jupi-
ter but whether Capt Clark is going to
Join Sampson or Scnley cannot be
learned.
The news of the safe arrival of the
Oregon in American waters was a
source Of satisfaction to all naval Off
GERS. Apprehension as to the safety Of
the Oregon practically disappeared
when the vessel reached Barbados and
reported her arrivalt to the navy de-
partment, but there was always a
chance that she might suffer from ac-
cident or hostile attack in the short
distance remaining Oh her homeward
journey.

WASHINGTON, May 25. - At the
close of the day at the navy department
the situation as to the fleets, both
American and Spanish, was precisely
as 1t was this morning, SO far as the
officials knew, the only notable differ
ence being an apparent strengthening
of the confidence of the officials in their
belief that Cervera's squadron is lying
In the Santiago harbor In this hope
and belief the officials found some COM
fort, knowing the abilities of the Amer
lean naval commanders in Cuban wat
ers to keep the Spaniard bottled in his
narrow neck harbor until he shall sur
render or be starved out
If Cervera is actually at the bay, the
officials have not the slightest appre-
hension of any relief coming to him
from the outside in the shape of an
other Spanish squadron from Cadiz.
The reason for this belief is their un
questioned ability to hold Cervera in
check with only a few vessels-per-
maps couple of monitors and torpedo
boats-thus leaving the remainder of
the big armored fleet and a great num-
Der of unarmored, but serviceable, war
craft to take care of any reinforce
ments that might attempt to come from
Spain to Cervera's aid. The force that
could be spared for this service, without
endangering the integrity of the block
ade at Havana or permitting the es-
cape of Cervera, would be much larger
than the entire Spanish naval force
now in Spanish waters capable of
crossing the Atlantic.
TOO STRONG TO STORM.
The navy department officials. ac-
cepting the view that Cervera Is in
Santiago harbor, are of opinion that
he is likely to remain there for a long
time, weeks and months, perhaps. A
study of the defenses of the harbor
and topographic features has con-
Vlnced the experts that to undertake
TO carry the place by storm from the
sea and to attack the fleet while it is
under the protection of the forts would
involve so great loss of life on our
part as to be entirely unwarranted un-
der existing conditions. The harbor is
known to be mined, and these mines
are so we'll protected by judiciously
placed shore batteries that the usual
methods Of counter mining could he
practiced only with the utmost peril to
the sailors of our fleet.

could rain most destructive fire down
upon our ships, and not even the bat

CHICAGO, May 25.-A special to the
News from Washington says: Porto
Rico is to be taken. The president has
decided that Sampson shall immediate
1y move on that island, while Schley
guards Cervera. At least 10000 troops
will be sent, and another army is at
the same time to enter Cuba, the
transports now being ready.
From a cabinet officer It is learned
that the haste in ordering ships and
troops to Porto Rico is owing to the
fact that the president has learned that
the powers are preparing to ask that
Spain be permitted to withdraw from
Cuba and allow peace to be declared.
This intimation came direct from
Europe. The president wants to be
able to say: Eyes, Spain may with
draw. That's why we made war; but
we will hold Porto RHO and the Philip
pines''
Without dissenting voice the cab
met decided that the greatest possible
haste should be made In the invasion.
Gen. Miles reported that Spain now
has $4,000 troops in Porto Rico, and
that he thought the United States
should send at least 70, 900 troops there.
The secretary of war had a confer
ence with the president, and it was de-
cided that Sampson should be sent
straight to San Juan. The president
feared that when Spain lost her fleet
she would sue for peace before the
United States had the island. He said
1t would be much better to have Porto
Rico when negotiations began.
Secretary Alger said that the army
was ready to go to Cuba at any time.
When he returned to his office he sent
for Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn and
Gen. Miles and notified them Of the call
for $4,000 men, and that the president
asked for an immediate movement of
troops to both islands.
MeikeJohn has charge of transports.
and he said he was ready to begin. The
first men to be sent to Cuba will oc-
cupy high and healthy land and re-
main until the general occupation of
the island begins Assistant Secretary
Meiklejohn and Gen. Miles will hasten
the movement of troops with the great
est possible speed.
