WITH THE KEY WEST FLEET.
Cruiser Kept on Patrol Duty Day and
Night NOw-Havann Ca
BILE Cut.

Key West, Fla, April aO.-The cruiser
Cincinnati is missing from the squadron
tonight. With the Marblehead. she went
on patrol duty last night. Hitherto this
duty has taken the acting ships eight or
ten miles out in the waters of the Gulf,
and they have usually returned early next
morning. Last night, for the first time
two cruisers were assigned instead of one
This morning the Marblehead returned as
usual but not the Cincinnati, which had
not been sighted up to nightfall. Inquiry
developed the fact that a message was
signalled to her from the flagship early this
morning. Its import has not been ascer-
tained on shore. but the answer was waved
back Still nine miles out. Will follow Or
ders."
What these orders were are known only
to the commanding officers of the fleet and
the Cincinnati. The Cincinnati was most
likely sent further out to gain greater
command Of the entrance to these waters
from the Cuban side. This was the first
occasion when the guard was kept On duty
all night and the following day.
1t has been learned that the cable be-
tween here and Havana was cut about a
mile south of Fort Taylor. and evidently by
someone familiar with cable work. The
strand, which is of the double armor,
heavy, shore-end type. was not cut in
twain. but merely cut open. The conductor
was then pulled out and cut in two near
the shore. The cable is very heavy, weigh
ing about fourteen tons to the mills. and
hence the cut could have scarcely been an
accident The cable is now repaired, and
the whole matter is under investigation.

WAR CORRESPONDENTS.
Newspapers Besiexed by

Fourteen thousand persons. it is said.

Nine hundred of these are actively en-

one men, by actual count, to beg me to

means. and all they care to go for is glory.
They will pay their own expenses. think

There are enough war correspondents
now actively engaged in the manufacture
of belligerent news to whip the whole of
Spain. and 1 regard it as the duty of the
government to give them the best ship in
the navy and let them go out to fight the
armada. If this is not done We shall have
marine view of a fleet of tugs laden with
correspondents interfering with the maneu-
vers of any Spanish war ship that dares
threaten. If ''Old SaSacity'' only knew
this he would think three times before
turning loose his flock of sparrows 1t is
bad enough to fight the United States navy

General Tecumseh Sherman had fun with
the rebs down in Georgia. and elsewhere,
but he had to fight Whitlaw Reid. war
correspondent, for twenty years after. He
said that Reid was the biggest liar he
ever knew. and Reid said the same OF him.
Sherman died under flag of truce. Gen
eral Hancock fought Charles A. Dana until
he died. And it was pretty much the same
with all the war correspondents, not be-
cause they lied, but because no two men
can possibly see things in the same light.
When Spain goes against our brigade OF
war correspondents let her pray.

La Lucha this afternoon says: War

After SO many concessions made to the

the actual conflict. 1t is impossible for
Spain to maintain peace on the island with
SO powerful neighbor as the United
States. which contemplates extending a
protectorate before long over the whole
American continent. If American politi-
clans We're more prudent. perhaps Spain
would have encountered this aggression
when the United States would have been
better prepared. But whether Spain wins
or loses, does not matter. She will demon

she IS greater than at the beginning. at the
same time saving tradition and her own
