STILL AT LARGE.
Three Alleged Spaniards Who Tried
to Blow Up a Battery.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 29.-The three sup
posed Spaniards, who tried to blow up the
motar battery near Fort Taylor Thursday
night, have not yet been captured. Captain
Merrill commandant at the Notifications,
had armed search parties out looking for
them last night, and to-day the torpedo boat
Porter has been scouting in the adjacent
waters in search of them, but without sue
cess. They are thought either to have got
safely off to Cuba or to be in hiding on
one of the nelghboring keys. Two of the
suspects were seen driving along the beach
road near the Notifications yesterday after
noon. They were followed to the eastern
end of the island, where they were Joined
by a third man. All boarded a row boat
and made for Stock island a neighboring
key. One, who is thought to be the leader,
carried a rifle. When last seen their boat
was approaching sloop or schooner lying
off Stock island. This morning both sloop
and small boat were gone. The authorities
have detailed descriptions of the men.
Among those arrested on suspicion of at
tempting to blow UP the mortar battery
was Paul Molin, correspondent for the
Eclair, of Paris, who was caught making
sketches of the Notifications. AS soon as
his identity was established he was re-
leased, but ne is very indignant over the
arrest.

patch boat Observation-Disclosures harbor has
been completely closed by the Spaniards
since the attack of the Winsow and other
American torpedo boats This fact was
demonstrated yesterday by the attempt of
the English steamship Myrtledene to enter
the port to take on a cargo of sugar. The
Myrledene had begun to take on cargo
when war was declared, and she was
ordered out by the American gunboat
Machias. The steamers owners claimed
that, under the blockade proclamation, she
was entitled to thirty days to load, and
Secretary of the Navy Long gave the ship
permission to return and complete her
cargo. She found, however, that the harbor
was filled with sunken distractions and
could not get in. She lies outside the harbor,
nesting forlorn and detected like storm
beaten bird, uncertain whether to attempt
70 bring her cargo out in lighters or wait
for the war to end. The waters of Car
denas are too shallow for big ships and the
Winslow tragedy probably closes the his
tory of naval operations IN that quarter.
