Kingston, Jamaica, May s0.-Dispatch
boat has just come in and brings posi-

Verde fleet is not at Santiago de Cuba.
The dispatch boat lost track of Com
modore Schley's fleet for twenty-four
hours but sighted the United States
gunboat Hawk, which was conveying
the news of the escape of the enemy
from Santiago. Cervera left supplies
and ammunition at Santiago for Blan-
co and is thought TO have sailed for
Martinique or toward the north Allan
tic coast. United States cruiser Scor-
picn, Captain Mark, returning from
Santiago, overhauled the dispatch boat
and expressed the greatest surprise
upon learning that Schley had been at
Cienfugos from Sunday morning to
Tuesday night and found that Cervera
was not there.
Decks Cleared for Action,
Shley watched the 1O0-yard entrance
to the Cienfuegos harbor with decks
cleared for action and guns loaded for
instant use, supposing masts sighter
over the harbor Notifications to belong
TO the Spanish fleet. After two days
waiting the Americans communicated
with the Cubans and learned positively
that the Spanish feet was not in the
harbor and had not been there The Du-
pcnt then ventured into the harbor and
Cervera not there. Schley left
at once for Santiago and when he
reached there Tuesday fourd that Ger
vera had flown. 1t is believed here that
the Spanish feet has gone TO the Can
airy islands and from there will go to
Spain TO join forces with the Cadiz fleet.
Others say, however. that the Spaniards
are venturesome enough to attack the
American coast cities.

Local Oil News

The demand for oil seems to be in
creasing, but owing to the scarcity OF
cars local shippers are unable to fill the
San Francisco demand, as most of the
tank cars are being used by the Santa
Fe Railroad company in hauling water
to their tunnel.
The prospects for brisk trade are very
fiattering to the oil men, as soon as the
temporary inconvenience to shippers is
overcome. Prices still remain about
stationary.
The Oil Storage company have ordered
| another large steel storage tank of thir.
ty-six thousand barrel capacity, making
the fourth of it's kind to be erected, at the
corner of Bloom and Alhambra streets
with total storage capacity of one
hundred and fifty thousand barrels.
Owing to the increase of business tn.
oil producers trustees recently made
quite extensive improvements in thei.
offices.
Oil developments are still going or

the silver element is growing be-
cause of the growth of circulation of
those papers and magazines which ad-
vocate that policy and from the perfec-
ton of the organization of the silver
people.
why, we Silver Republicans now
have complete organization in thirty
two states, consisting of an executive
committee in each, with national COM
mitteeman as well. And wherever 1
went l found the Democrats, the Popu
lists and the Silver Republicans all
unanimous for Mr.. Bryan as the next
candidate for the presidency.
"Yes, l saw Mr.. Bryan when was in
Chicago, just after his return from his
Mexican trip. No, he didn't say he was
candidate again, but he is devoting his
energies and his talents to the cause,
putting in all of his time working to ad-
vance it all over the country. There is
no man in America today who is so pop
ular as Bryan. While he was in Chicago
there was constant stream Of visitors.
I took dinner with him at the fremont
house and we were constantly interrupt
ed by callers of all degrees, from men
like Carter Harrison and Dan Campbell
down. He and the cause he represents
are growing in public estimation all of
the time. The idea gathers adherents as
SNOWFALL gathers particles as it is
rolled along.
1.-The Republicans are not having a
harmonious time of it in the east. The
revolt against Hanna and what he rep
resents is something tremendous all
through the middle west. In Ohio it is
very moderate to say that 20 per cent of
the straight Republicans oppose him,
and the bad element which he repre-
sents, for he is now recognized as stand
ing for all that is ignoble and disgraceful
in politics.
1.-THE rebellion against both Hanna and
Mckinley Is taking definite form in an
organization within the Republican
ranks, which has for it's object the pro-
gression of Tom Reed as presidential
possibility. This move is becoming con-
crete and Is liable to take the shape of
determined stand against the admins
tration at any time. The program is for
Mr.. Reed, at the proper time, to take
an administration stand. on some
great question, like the Cuban situation
or the currency, or something of like di-
mensions, and from that point to wage
the war for the next nomination
II should not be at all surprised if
Mr.. Hanna should come out himself as
possible candidate for the presidency.
He has the ambition and must add, the
ability to form Il very strong factor in
the contest, If he should take the notion.
He Is, despite all that has been justly

The Free Silver Sentiment
Gathering Strength
THE SITUATION IN THE EAST
MARK HANNA AS A PRESIDEN-
TIAL POSSIBILITY
What Nathan Cole, Jr., Thinks of the
Republican Revolt-Bryan the
Idol of the Silver Hosts

"There is one thing sure, which is that
business Is better in the east and the ca
amity cry will not do now. Prosperity
is not what it should be, but there are
improved conditions prevailing in busi-
ness circles
That is one point of view that Mr..
Nathan Cole took last evening of the
situation Of the country. He had re-
turned but a few hours previously from
a two months trip through. the middle
west and east. and had while attending
to business kept careful tab on the polit-
ical feeling in all parts where he found
himself, he being one of the national ex-
ecutive committeeman of the Silver Re-
publicans.
THE free silver sentiment" he con-
tinued, ''is increasing all the time. The
movement Is an educational one and the
more people learn about it the more peo-
pie will believe in 1t. / have no doubt
that 1t will be one of the main issues in
the next campaign. but there will be
others almost as important, one of which
will be the control of these gigantic

said against him, very capable and,
In some ways, brilliant man, whose ca
pacity for organization and general abil-
ity should not be underestimated. 1t
may sound somewhat absurd to pose Mr..
Hanna as a possible aspirant for the
presidency, but as said, 1t would not
surprise me in the least if what 1 here
mention to you should turn out to be
one OF the coming sensations in the
world of politics.
AT any rate, you can safely figure on
Tom Reeds jumping into the arena as
against Mckinley and the Hanna fol-
lowing. Mr.. Reed is a clean man, not
having tied himself up to the trusts and
corporations, as Mckinley has done,
ana he would make a strong candidate.
The sectional lines are sharply drawn
IN the silver sentiment. In PHILADELPHIA
haroly found silver man, while in the
west tney are thicker than ever We are
going to take up the work In the far
west. and next week c. A. Towne will
arrive here and will make an address at
Hazards pavilion. Mr. Towne is I've
chairman of the national committee of
the Silver Republicans and is one of the
most eloquent men in the country. He
Is even more logical than Mr.. Bryan,
though he has not the latter's personal
magnetism. He will be well worth hear
ing, and we think he will add largely to
the party"
Mr.. Cole only arrived late yesterday
AFTERNOON and had not had time in
which to form much of an idea of the
situation in California as regards the
political principles which he advocates,
but he seems assured beyond peradven-
ture that the next campaign in national
affairs will see Mr.. Bryan and the cause
Of free silver given the verdict by the
greatest jury that ever sits on public
causes, the American people.

accordance with specifications. Captain
Hance is himself pharmacist, and has
been putting flea in the ear of some of
the councilmen on the drug question.
1t appears that while the prices are
made on what are considered the drugs
most in demand, a great many mixtures
are ordered in the course of the year
upon which no price is quoted, and for
which full retail price is generally
charged. This, of course, is perfectly
legitimate, but Captain Hance thinks
that the city could save many dollars
each year by making the specifications
for the contract cover all drugs and
materials needed at certain specified
advance upon the ruling wholesale rate.
This would be fair to all parties, and
work hardship upon none.
The matter will undoubtedly be fully
discussed at next Mondays council
meeting.
