PLUCKY LITTLE MANGROVE.
Lighthouse Tender Captures Span
ish Steamship.

Key West, April 26.-The big Spanish
steamship Panama Of the Ceballos line.
which left New York April 20 for Havana
with a number of Spanish refugees on
board and very valuable cargo, includ-
ing, it is understood, supplies for the
Spanish army, was captured yesterday
evening about 20 miles from Havana
by the little lighthouse tender Man
grove, now belonging to the mosquito
fleet. The Mangrove mounts two six
Founders and four 3S-revolvers. She is
commanded by Lieutenant Command
er w. H. Everett and has a crew of l3
men. The Panama is of about $500 tons
and a very valuable prize When the
Mangrove sighted the Spaniard she ran
up to the latter and fired gun across
her bows. The liner did not take the
hint, and a second shot was fired, after
which the Panama slowed down little.
A third shot was fired across the bows
Of the Panama at 100 yards, and the deck
officer Of the Spanish vessel was hailed
and notified that If he did not heave to
a shot would be sent through his vessel.
This notification caused the Panama to
be brought to. Ensign Dayton then

thiZe with the sufferings of these poor
people and bitterly condemn the Span
iards who have brought them to such
misery but they say that as we have not
a sufficient number of men to land at
this time, and that it would be suicidal
to throw too small a force in on the
coasts without being able to reinforce
them instantly if necessary, the landing
of supplies at this time would simply
be putting weapons into the hands of
our enemies, for the Spaniards would
surely seize the food for their own use.
The report that the Spanish fleet had
sailed from Spain for some unknown
point has caused considerable uneas-
ness here, and if the report is not con-
tradicted officers will expect to hear of
the enemy appearing on our shores at
almost any time.
Tuesday it was pretty generally agreed
in the war department that the first ex-
peditionary force of 5000 men would be
sent to Cuba without delay In fact
orders were given to have this force pre-
pared for immediate service, and the
quartermaster's department was di-
rected to arrange for the necessary
transports. Today doubts are expressed
whether the departure of this force will
not be delayed A greatdeal of influence
is at work to have this expedition post
poned, if not until Oct. /, at least until
the volunteer army has been merged
with the regulars and seasoned to the
discipline of the camp and the hardships
of the field. a great deal depends, how
ever, on events. 1t may be necessary to
thrust the military into Cuba before the

Herr Bebel made some of the mem
bers of the German Reichstag exces-
slvely uncomfortable n few days aco
by reminding them, in the course of a
revolutionary speech, that they held
very different views regarding abso-
latism fifty years ago than those held
by them to-day. There is no doubt
tina: a great deal that Herr Bebel said
was merely for effect. No one believes
that a revolution is imminent in Ger
many, even though the socialistic
party appears to be gaining strength.
SO long as the material prosperity
of Germany continues there will be no
change. The middle classes, while
prospering as they are at present, will
remain conservative, and the masses
can effect nothing without at least
having the sanction of the people of
substance. 1t will take hard times,
perhaps compile prostration of in
dustry, to make German manufacture
ers and merchants realize that stand
ing army and q big navy are not the
blessings they are sometimes cracked
up to be.

Washington, April 27.-Many navy Off
GERS arr of the opinion that Spain in
tends to make a demonstration against
our northern coast for the purpose Of
drawing our fleet of heavy vessels from
southern waters, and thus permitting
the Spanish squadron now at Cape
Nedre tu cross the Atlantic and raise the
blockade of Havana.
Spain has a fleet of armured vessels
a. the ports OF Cadiz ana FerrOl which
has for some time been getting into
shape for sudden dash to our coasts
These vessels are the battleship Pelayo
OF $500 tons, 10 knots speed and a heavy
battery Of modern guns; the Cardinal
CisnerOs, an armured cruiser of the first
class, capable Of steaming at % knots
speed; the Catalina a sister ship in all
respects to the Ctsneros, the Emperor
Carlos V, only slightly smaller than the
Pelayu. and with the additional ad-
vantage of 20 knots speed, and the Nu-
manCia. recently reconstructed. These
ships are stronger than our fleet at
Hampton roads. and as they are attend
ed by several Golfers Of great burden
would make it necessary for us to with
draw some of the armOred vessels from
the Key West squadron. in order to com-
pete with them successfully.
In order to prevent any unheralded
descent. the Columbia and Minneapolis
have been sent north for the purpose of
keeping u lookout for the enemy and an
nounctng their approach at the earliest
possible moment. While these opera
tions are in progress the Spanish plan is
for the strong fleet of armored cruisers
and torpedo boats now near the African
coast to steam westward as fast as they
can, and to relieve the Spanish army in
Cuba by raising the blockade and allow
Ing the importation of such stores as
would be sent in vessels with th-n.
They would have little trouble defeating
any of our unprotected vessels which
would be maintaining the blockade in
the absence of the armored ships.

mining has increased rapidly in
Georgia during the past two years and
there are now thirty gold mines in

Key West, April 27.-The Mangrove.
under Lieutenant Commander William
II. Everett, who came down from the
photographic office few weeks ago to
take command of her, was cruising along
the Cuban coast shortly before Tuesday
evening about 20 miles north of Havana
when she sighted the Panama. The only
other ship of the fleet in sight was the
Indiana, three miles in the rear. Com
mander Everett scented a prize and
scudded toward the stranger. When
the latter came within range shot from
the Mangroves 12-pounder was sent
across her bows, but the Spaniard ig-
nOred the challenge and went on. An
other shot followed without result; and
the Mangrove was drawing nearer the
stranger, which proceeded on her course,
apparently without any intention of run
ming away. When the third shot was
fired the Mangrove was within 100 yards
of the Panama, and Lieutenant Com
mander Everett shouted to the deck Of
ficer that if she did not surrender he
would sink her. The Mangroves Of
ticers admit that they expected the
enemy's 12-pounders to open on them in
response to the threat, but the Spaniard
promptly came to. Ensign Dayton, the
senior officer of tR Mangrove, boarded
the prize and proceeded to this port.
