the Twickenham is to furnish coal for a
two months basis at Fort de France. The
French government has thus far refused
to allow the Alicante to coal from the
Twiokenham, but the Spanish consul has
obtained permission for five days wait
for the Twiokenham before declaring at

FRANCE Is FRIENDLY.
Has No Feeling Of Sympathy For
Spain in Present War.

Washington, May 19.-As result of
several recent exchanges between the
officials of the State Department and
those of the French embassy, an agreeable
understanding has been reached which
gives assurance of o continuance OF the
traditional friendship between the United
States and France. 1t has served to make
clear that each government has the fullest
confidence in the friendly attitude of the
other. and that any criticisms or animosity
q reused by recent incidents in the war
have not been shared by the government
officials Of either country.
Altogether the recent exchanges have
produced pleasant impression on both
sides and feeling that any apparent
estrangement between the two countries
has been overcome.
The thirty days limit prescribed In the
Presidents proclamation of April 81 ex-
pires in few days. This gave certain
privileges to Spanish ships and foreign
ships in general and it is said that the
limit will expire without any serious con-
troyersies having arisen. When this
period is closed it is felt that danger Of
complications with reference to foreign
shipping will be practically at an end.

the engagement the us. cruiser Marble
head picked up several Cubans in an open
boat some miles down the coast, includ-
ing Col. Oris, Lieut.. Olvarez and three
privates from an insurgent camp near
Cienfuegos. They reported that the Span
ish losses and the damage wrought by
the shells from the warships were very
heavy. The hospitals at Cienfuegos, they
said, were full Of wounded and fear pre-
vailed everywhere that the American war
ships would return to complete the work
OF destruction.
During the engagement the Marblenead
threw 45O 5-inch shells into the Spanish
forces and 700 shots from her secondary
battery, the gunboat Nashville as many
more shells and 100 shots from her second
ary battery.
Fifteen hundred Spaniards were stationed
in an improvised fortress on neck land,
and rpon this the ships concentrated
their fire, and it was here that the most
terrible destruction was wrought. Dur
ing the heavy fire of shells and just after
the light house was blown up, five Span
iards who were running together in an
attempt to escape, wero picked off By a
she'll from the Marblehead, the gunner
being ordered to fire upon them by En-

while the steamer Adula, which has 'ssr.
rived here from that port, with refugees,
was in the harbor. They approached and

1t is not certain whether the warships
replied to the fire. The firing continued
from noon to O'Clock. Capt. Walker Of
the Adula, when coming out, could not
see any marks on Moro castle. and in
ferred that the Americans ships drew the
lire of the batteries to learn the range.
There was much excitement in the city.
The regulars and volunteers were called
out and new earth work batteries were

guns are unknown, but it is known that
there are 81 torpedoes in the channel
