of thought according to theosophy." Af-
ter describing the seven-fold bodies of
man, she gave her attention somewhat
particularly to the faculties of the mind
and their cultivation, particularly those
of meditation and concentration. The
first was especially beneficial when di-
rected to religious and ethical topics,
the latter might well be exercised on
secular topics, and in this connection
she mentioned deep breathing as produc-
tive of harmony within and without the
body. Nothing 80 builds character and

the exercise of the two faculties. There
is no limit to the power of the mind; burt

SINKS A SPANISH TRAP.

dangerous Derclict Sent to the Bottom
by the Wilmington.
KEY WEST, May 1s.-The cruiser
Wilmington, when about 80 miles east
of Havana yesterday, fired five shells
into Spanish trap, in the shape of 2,
derelict, sinking it, and thus doing
away with another piece of Spanish
trickery. The commander of the Will
mington had been warned by dispatch
boats that some dangerous wreckage
was drifting about the spot mentioned,
and the cruiser steamed in that direo-
tion to investigate the reports. An old
Spanish schooner, with her deck loaded
to the rails with rusty iron, car wheels,
etc, closely packed together, was found
floating in the track Of the torpedo
boats and dispatch boars. The iron
laden schooner had evidently been sent
out of Havana harbor in the hope that
a torpedo boat or small craft OF til .
blockading force would crash into Il
and be so damaged as to cause her to
sink. AS wires We're not noticed
around the iron rails of the schooner,
Commander TODD believed the Spanish
trap might also contain explosives, and
therefore, laying off a considerable dis
tance from her, his big guns promptly
sent her to the bottom.

While waiting for tugs today to
start down the river, the bow section,

one side, forcing that pontoon under
the water. The upper pontoon then
shifted position, drawing the other
pontoon away from the boar section,
almost turning it bottom side up.
Fourteen seamen were thrown into the
water, but all escaped. The accident
was caused by overlooking the top deck,
making the small section top heavy.

SPANISH FLEET PLAYS HIDE AND SEEK
WITH SAMPoON'5 SQUADRON.
Official Information Reaches Washington
That the Battleshp Pelayo and AR.
mored Cruiser Carlos v. Have Sailed
From mCadiz For the West Indies.

(Copyrig ght, 1898 by James Gordon Bennett :
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Believing in
the correctness of che report to the Her
aid from Porto Plata announcing the
arrival of the Spanish squadron Of San
Juan, Porto Rico, the naval war board
is taking measures to hasten the for.
nation of the arlnor-ciai fleet. This
action is regarded as especially necs 81.

which has reached tho ;laslloritle5 here
that the battleship Pelayo and armored
cruiser Carlos Y have sailed from Ca.
diz, not for the Philippines, bat for the
West Indies, where they will reinforce
Admiral Cervera's S command
The effect of the junction of these
forces will be to give Spain six ar.
mored men-of-war in western waters
against six flying the American flag.
Before the arrival Of the Pelayo and
Carlos v, however, the battleship
Oregon will be at Key West and at

board is thinking of. Information
cabled by Consul Smith from Curacao
announced that the Spanish fleet had
originally headed to the westward, but
subsequently, turned and headed east
ward. San Juan is to the northeast Of
Curacao, and naval experts say that it
was natural thing for Cervera to do
to first steam to the westward out of
sight of land and to doubled on his
track like a fox SO as to deceive an en-
emy who might be watching his move
ments.
The distance between Curacao and
San J uan is about 475 miles, and steam
ing at the speed of / / or IL KNOTS, it
would have been an easy matter for
the Spanish fleet to have covered the
distance within 4S hours.
It is believed that the Spanish fleet
will make its headquarters at San Juan
during its future operations.

Spain Protests in Vain.
Spain has protested to France against
the Harvard being allowed to remain
in the ports OF Martinique. France
has replied, upholding the full right Of
the Harvard to remain as long as nee
essary to complete her repairs. The
Spanish protest is an Important de-
velopment in the present critical naval
situation in the West Indies.as it serves
to permit France to give conspicuous
evidence Of her friendly attitude
toward the United States, and to offset
the insinuations which have been made
as to French favoritism to Spain.
Headed Off by Spies.
The failure of Captain Dorst, who
conducted an expedition to Cuba with
supplies and ammunition for the in
surgents is directly due to the work of
Spanish spies.
He was unable to effect landing,
and whenever an attempt was made he
found Spanish soldiers awaiting him.
He found that the Spanish were per-
fectly familiar with all the plans of the
authorities in Washington and he was
forced to give up the effort.
Corps Commanders.
The war department. rushed ahead
it's preparations for the mobilization
and thorough equipment of the volun-
teer army and the progress which is
being made is most gratifying. The
important development of Monday was
the definite selection of the corps com.
manders. The announcement, how
ever, does not contain sany surprises.
Though Major General Merritt is ac
credited to the department. of the Pa
citic, such destination is made formally,
but it is known that he will go to the
Philippines in command of the army
there and will be accompanied by
M jor General OTIS The designation
of General Fitzhugh Lee as commander
of the seventh corps with headquarters
at Tampa, would seem to indicate that
he is to accompany the army of invas-
ion to Cuba.
1t is expected, owing to the strict
blockade and the famine resulting from
it, that the city of Manila will soon be
compelled to capitulate to the Ameri-
can blockading squadron under Ad-
miral Dewey. Aguinilda and the princi-
pal leaders in the recent rising, left
Tuesday in the McCulloch for Cayite,
They will attempt to pursuade the na-
tives to attack Manila in a few days.
They have promised Admiral Dewey to
regulate their conduct III accordance
with the principles of humanity.

KEY WEST, May ]7.-Captain Blanco
two hours before sundown Saturday
night attempted to execute a ruse,
which, if successful, would have cleared
the front Of six OF the blockading ships.
Unable to come outside to do this, he
adopted the tactics Of the spider and
the fly, and although pretty scheme
as an original proposition, it was prac
tlcally repetition of the trick by
which the gunboat Vicksburg and the
little converted revenue cutter Morrill,
were last week decoyed by fishing
smack under the big Krupp guns of
Santa Clara batteries. It was due to
bad gunnery and both ships managed
to get out of range without being sunk,
With some of the shells bursting close
Late Saturday afternoon the ships on
the Havana station were dumfounded
to see two ships steam out of Havana
harbor and go eastward By aid Of
glasses Commander Lilly Of the May
flower, which was flying the pennant,
made out the larger vessel of the two,
Which was about 200 feet long and
about 4,5OO tons displacement, to be the
Alfonso XIII, and the smaller one to be
the gunboat LIE Gaspi both Of which
were known to be bottled in Havana
harbor. At first he supposed they were
taking the advantage of the heavy
lighting ships and We're making bona
fide run for the open sea. AS superior
officer he Immediately signalled the
other ships on the station, the Vicks-
burg, Annapolis, Wasp, Tecumseh and
Osceola, to form an attacking column
with gunboats on the right flank The
little squadron moved in obliquely
toward the fleeing Spaniards, keeping
up running fire as they went.
The Alfonso and her consort circled
in shore about five miles below and
after running in for half an hour
headed back to Morro castle. Our gun
boats and thin skinned vessels of the
mosquito fleet did not follow them in.
Commander Lilly saw that the willy
Spanish ruse was to draw them in un-
der the fire of the heavy batteries.
