ITS RACE IS RUN.
SPANS Flying Squadron COOped Up in San
tiagO HarbOr-Its Capture or De-
struction Almost Certain.

New YORK, May 25.-A Washington
dispatch to the Herald is as follows:
SPANS flying squadron will fly no
longer. Its race Is run. Cooped up
in the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba, its destruction or capture
is considered by officials here to
be merely a matter of time. Before
the harbOr are the armorclads of the
American navy, ready to give battle to
Adm. Cervera's men-of-war the mo-
ment they poke their noses out of the
channel leading to the sea.
Official adviceS announcing these to
be the positions of the opposing fleets
were received at the navy department
Tuesday night from the commander
in-chief of the American force operat-
ing in front of the harbor. 1t was
these advices which enabled the au-
thorities to deny emphatically the re-
ports that an action had occurred in
the Windward passage.
Whether Commodore Schley shall at
tempt to force his way into the han Dor
TO meet the Spanish feet therein. is
point which he alone is believed to
be competent to pass upon, and which
he alone must decide.
So important is considered the re-
tention of the Spanish fleet in the har-
Dor of Santiago de Cuba or it's destruc-
ton that the authorities do not pro-
pose to let it escape. and if necessary
the ironclads in front of Santiago de
Cuba will be reinforced
SO clarified has become the atmos-
phere as a result of the bottling up
of the Spanish fleet in Santiago De
Cuba that the authorities are now
eagerly and earnestly pressing for
ward the military expedition which
will invade Cuba.
This expedition will unquestionably
start this week and will be supported
by a formidable force of ironclads,
which will be detailed to lombard Ha-
vana under the command of RI Adm.

land attack

WILLIAM MCKINLEY.
By the President: William r. Day,
Secretary of State.
Secretary Alger said Wednesday aft
ernOOn that the additional volun teers
called for will not be recruited from
the national guard as were the first
S125, 600, but that the enlistments will
be open. The regulations referred
to in the proclamation under which
the enlistments will be conducted
have not yet been prepared, and it
is thought that there is no oc-
casion for hurry in this matter until
the full draft called for in the first
proclamation had been secured. 1t is
further stated that the decision to
issue an additional call for volunteers
was not reached until the cabinet
meeting Tuesday afternoon. The call,
it is supposed here, indicates a deter
nina ton to press the campaign active
ly and vigorously from now on.

Lecture of q Novelist

A well-known novelist delivered a lecture
recently in which he read selections from
his own works. His reputation and the 50.
ciety that engaged him brought together an
audience composed of the best people of the
neighborhood. After the lecture. when
people met, it was the proper thing for one
to ask the other:
''Were you at the lecturer" And the
answer in every case:
ooh, yes! l was there, but l didn't hear
a word. Did you hear the lecturer"
''Well, no! was there, but couldn't
hear, either"
A friend who met the novelist few DAYS
after his visit to the suburban town asked
him what kind of audience he had, and how
he liked the town.
It's a fine place. was the reply, 'and
ever spoken to. No one made a sound, and
did not have to raise my voice above a
whisper. "-Philadelphia Press.

Fast Time to Colorado.

A new through Sleeping Car line between.
st. Louis and Colorado Springs will be estab-
lished over the Wabash-Rock Island Short
Line May 18th, 1898. The time will be the
fastest made with through service between
these two points by many hours. A through
Sleeper will leave st. Louis on Wabash train
No. B. at 800 a. m, arriving at Colorado
Springs the next morning at HOO, with di-
rect connection for Denver, arriving at IL &c
a. m. This is the fastest regular through
service ever established between St Louis
and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will
leave Colorado Springs at 245 D. m, and ar
rive at st. Louis the next evening at 6I5
Patrons of this line will avoid the only IN
pleasant feature heretofore attendant on Col
oradO travel, inasmuch as the trip through
Missouri's fertile fields will now be by day
light, and the unattractive portion of Kansas
will be traversed during the night, with the
mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the
morning
The fast time of this line will naturally
commend the Wabash Route to intending
Colorado tourists.
Particulars will be gladly furnished on APP
picatiOn.

ANGRY MARINES.
One of Their Number Shot and killed BY
Negro in Key West = They
Threaten to Lynch Him.

KEY WEST, May 26.-What threat
ems to develop into an ugly affair, if
not a lynching, occurred Wednesday
night and the situation is decidedly
serious.
A report was circulated Wednesday
evening that a marine had been shot
and killed by a Negro from a second
story window. Nobody seemed to
know what had become of the victim
or perpetrator, but the report had
reached the sailors and marines, the
latter of whom were enjoying their
first days liberty since arriving here,
and they formed into two battalions
and marched on the Jail with loaded
revolvers
Sheriff Knight met them at the door
of the Jail and parleyed, assuring
them that the Negro was not in Gus
tody. The invaders drew off a short
distance and selected two blue Jackets
and one marine to go through the
Jail The sheriff was pOwerless to re-
sist and made no attempt Twelve
Negroes were found in Jail, but as the
identity of the supposed murderer was
a mystery, the party was halted.
Some of the more turbulent spirits
suggested the lynching of Negro on
principle, but upon the sheriff promis-
ing to find and produce the assailant
if the story were true the party left
and secured the town in the hope of
coming upon their man. The feeling
among the "Jackies' and the marines
against the Negro population is in
tense, aggravated by Wednesday nights
ARRAY when Charles Kitchen, also a
Negro, shot and wounded two seamen.
Their revenge will be quite as well

Tuesday night the bay was alive

and they are looking for him as well
as for the mysterious Negro who is
supposed to have killed marine.
While returning from the Jail the par
ty met another Jackie who thought
he could identify the supposed MUIR
derer.
Another march on the Jail followed,
and the man looked over the colored
prisoners but failed to identify. There
were some cool heads among the
marchers; and they advised giving the
sheriff a chance to get Kitchen and
two other suspected Negroes named
Kidd and Spencer.
The party eventually dispersed at a
late hour without further trouble, al
though determined to avenge the as
saults and indignities from Negroes.
The latter were keeping well under
cover Wednesday night.
Commodore Remey, who is in COM
mand of all the military force here, is.
sued an order at 10 o'clock to have all
the marines taken into camp and the

and the sailors. A guard of more than
seventy armed soldiers has been placed
around the Jail. At the time this dis.
