Washington yesterday, after week
Of comparative quietude. The rumora
ranged all the way from the capture
Of the little Mangrove, with crew OF
IS men, to the reported destruction OF
the entire Spanish feet by SIMPSONS
and Schley's combined forces They
were circulated with persistence, not
withstanding their denial as soon a.

Of any official capable Of passing judy

called for the latest newspaper bulle-

most positive manner that the navy
department had no information to
warrant the report OF any sort OF en-.
gagement in the Windward passage.
