MAY SEIZE RELIEF SUPPLIES.
Governor of Matanzas Has His Eye on
 Food Contributed by This Country.

New York, May 4.-Word was re- ceived yesterday at the office of the central Cuban relief committee that the supplies sent there for the recon centrados might be appropriated at any time for the Spanish army. There are 800 tons of supplies now on the wharves at Matanzas, got together by the Kansas City Star and sent to Cuba some time ago.
 Stephen B. Barton, secretary of the committee, thinks that, if the gov ernor of Matanzas has been reported correctly, it shows that there must be a shortage of food in the Spanish army. He has come to this con- clusion because Miss Clara Barton stated when she was here last week that the Spanish had never put any obstacles in the way of feeding the reconcentrados, and they had never attempted to appropriate the sup plies.

SPANIARDS AT KEY WEST.
Looking After the Welfare of Those
 Taken on the Prizes.

Washington, May 4-The French ambassador and Austrian minister are looking after the interests of those Spanish citizens, sailors, passengers, etc., taken on the various Spanish ships captured by American war ves- sells, and now held at Key West as prisoners of war. There has been no occasion, however, for the exercise of this protection thus far, as the pris- oners are being treated with all the consideration and courtesy consistent with the circumstances of their posi- tion. They are held at the military barracks at Key West, and it is un- derstood that their care is under the direction of the United States district attorney for that district. At the outset the prisoners found difficulty in communicating with their friends and relatives, but this has now been over come, and an arrangement has been effected here by which they will be able to communicate, by mail or tele- graph, with their friends in the out side world.
 As there is no Spanish consul at Key West, the duty of looking after these Spaniards necessarily devolves upon the frencn ana AuSLr1an duluOTl- ties, who have taken charge of Span ish interests. There is no French or Austrian consular agent at Key West, SO that such interests as arise there must receive attention from other points. The foreign representatives feel confident that these prisoners will receive every possible attention, so that there has been no special activity thus far in directing attention to the mat ter.

THE CUBAN BLOCKADE.
Foca Says It Violates International
 Law

Madrid, May An the senate to- day Senor Foca declared that the blockade of Cuba was contrary to in ternational law and was doing con- siderable harm to neutrals. Senor Foca said he hoped the latter would act in accordance with their own in terests, and urged the government to represent the position of affairs to the powers.
 Admiral Bermejo, minister of ma rine, promised to refer the matter to Senor Gullon, minister of foreign af- fairs, so that he might communicate with the powers.
 Other speakers declared that the blockade was ineffective and ought not to be recognized.
 The government has decided to award a cross of honor and pension to the captain of the transport Mont serrat, who ran the blockade on the south side of Cuba, landing troops, provisions and a considerable amount of specie

Prescott, Ariz., May 4.-(Special.) J. This is the greatest day ever seen here. Three thousand people on the plaza witnessed the presentation fsom the band stand of a regulation silk nag from the Ladies' Relief Corps of Phoenix. The morning was cold and rainy, but there was a clear sky from 4 to 2. Robert E. Morrison, the chair man, introduced the speakers There were patriotic references and a cheer ing throng. The Maine was often re- membered. The governor read his tel egram to President Mckinley that the Arizona quota was filled. Col. Brodie responded, accepting the flag with pleasure and gratitude. Said he: Arizona will now defend it. It will return unsullied. We go as the blue and the gray, a united band. We promise that the flag will be untar- nished. Will we do it?" (Cries of "Yes" and repeated cheering.)
 The commissions were then present ed to the officers. General Lewis spoke fittingly. Captain McClintock re- sponded on behalf of the officers and complimented .Prescott's people. Judge Ling, on behalf of the council, pre- scented a sixshooter to Captain O'Neill. Col. J. F. Wilson, an ex-confederate, spoke periodically. Hon. T. G. Nor ris spoke on behalf of the citizens, who raised $400 to buy cOmmissary sup plies.

THE EDITH BARNES CASE.
Before Judge OnE in the
Cleveland Court.

Cleveland, o., Dec. 1.-The legal battle
for the possession of Edith Beryl Barnes
was renewed in Judge ong's court this
morning, when a motion to dissolve an
injunction granted at Mrs Barnes-Ma-
gowan's plea, restraining her former hus-
band, John A. Barnes, from interfering
with her, in her possession of the child,
was argued.
Judge ong said before rendering de-
cision he would consult with Judge Dis
sette.
The Magowans were not at the hear
ing Barnes arrived early. Col. Brins-
made opened the case. He said he ex-
pected the testimony would show that
some time in September the probate court
appointed William H. Barnes guardian of
Edith Barnes; that Helen E. Barnes was
never divorced from Barnes. He said
testimony would show that Mrs. Barnes
went to Oklahoma with Mcgowan against
her Will, to obtain a divorce.
Attorney Hackney said he would show
that the Oklahoma court decree was legal.
and that all the talk of Mrs. Barnes
being forced was '.balderdash."
Judge Ong said the Oklahoma divorce.
if passed upon by him, would be followed
by the criminal branch of the court For
this reason, he said, he would prefer that
the criminal proceedings be settled first.
