NO NEWS FROM SANTIAGO.
Mixed story at Cape Haytien About
the Cadiz Fleet.

Copyright. 1898 by the Associated Presa
Cape Haytien, Hayti. May 29-No news
from Santiago de Cuba was obtained here
this morning, but on the other hand, 1t is
reported that two vessels of the Cadiz
fleet, said to be the Franco Joseph ana the
Marie Teresa, left Gibraltar yesterday for
Cuba. These names are probably wrong,
as there is no Spanish vessel known here
as the Franz Joseph, and the Infanta Ma
rie Teresa is understood to be the flagship
OF the fleet commanded by Admiral Ger
vera.

CRUISER HARVARD AT KINGSTON
Cleans Her boilers and Takes on
7JO Tons of Coal.

Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press
Kingston, May %, D. m.-The United
States auxiliary cruiser Harvard, former
ly the American Line steamer New York,
is coaling here. She took on board 100
tons, her fun measure.
As something trifing is wrong with her
steering gear and her boilers are dirty,
she will be allowed to remain here twenty
four hours longer than usual under the
neutrality regulations. With the exception
of medicines, the Harvard has not taken
on board any supplies.
Capt. Cotton of the Harvard said that
all We're well on board the squadron when
he left the vessels under the command Of
Commodore Schley Friday.
Rear Admiral Sampson was then sup
posed to be off the northwest coast OF
Cuba.
Commodore Henderson, commanding the
British naval station at Port Royal was
asked to-day IL he had, as reported re.
ceived information that Admiral Cervera
is not in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba
The commodore wrote the following reply:
'By the latest news, Cervera Is stil in
Santiago harbor."
The United States auxiliary gunboat
Eagle, which has been coaling at Port An
tonic, sailed to-day for an unknown des-
tination.
The Chicago Record dispatch boat Her.
cules has arrived here.
Capt. Cotton says that he has no direct
information that Cervera and his squad
ron are in the harbOr Of Santiago de Cuba,
but he assumes that Commodore Schley
has reasonable certainty that the Span
iards are there, or he would not be off
that harbor with the American squadron
The marine observer sighted a warship
far outside the roadstead this evening She
could not be identified.
Kingston, jam, May 20, p. m.-The
Harvard has finished coaling. Owing to
the friendly feeling for America here and
because the coaling began before the Brit
ish naval engineer had fixed the amount
she could take at $50 tons, It is believed
by the townspeople that she filed her
bunkers But such is not the case She
has enough now with that she had to last
six DAYS at half speed She will sail to-
morrow morning for a destination not DIS
closed.
The strange vessel, seemingly a warship
sighted off Port Royal last night, Is de-
clared by the gossips to be a Spanish
cruiser waiting for the Harvard.

The New Grace Street Baptist Edifice

The good citizens of Richmond never
felt more electric touch OF sympathy

people. irrespective OF creed or race,

agined really that the church could
never recover from such a sweeping mis-
fortune. but others more practical in
their sympathy came quickly forward
with offers Of help and the church itself
speedily recovering hope addressed itself
to the task of rebuilding. A temporary
structure, rude bet capacious and fnown
as the Grace Street Tabernacle was
promptly erected and has been occupied
by the church for nearly three years.
AS soon as practicable plans for new
church edifice. furnished by Mr. A. b.
Jennings. of New York. were secured
and the erection of an exceptionally
beautiful granite building was com
menced. After more than two years OF
continuous labor this building, truly an
