People Who Live in Havana Must Possess

People Who Live In Havana Must Possess
Fat Pocketbooks or Go Hungry.
Key West, June 21.-A vessel ar
rived here yesterday from the block
ade and brought an officer of the Gu
ban army and pilot, who are carry
ing important dispatches to Senior
Estrada Palma, of the Cuban junta,
from Gen. Rodriguez, the insurgent
commander of Havana province.
The Cubans were taken on board
on Saturday from an auxiliary gun
boat which had picked them up. The
messengers of Gen. Rodriguez give an
interesting account of their expert
ences. After leaving the insurgent
camp they made their way into the
city of Havana, spent several days
there, proceeded to one of the small
inlets in the neighborhood, stole
small boat and rowed out TO sea in
the hope of coming across an Ameri-
can vessel. They were three days in
the boat before they were picked up.
The Cubans report that there are no
supplies of rice, maize, potatoes or
eggs in Havana. Flour they say costs
so cents per pound and the army has
been placed on half rations.
The messengers class as false the
TepOIlS IldL Vessels nave SuCCeeueu III
entering Havana with supplies. They
assert that since the blockade began
only three small fishing vessels have
entered the harbor and that no food
whatever is received from Cienfuegos.
The Cubans also report that lard is
selling at so cents, rice at 20, beans at
25 and meat at rs cents per pound
and all are scarce, and they say that
all horses of private families, stores
and livery stables, have been confis-
Gated by order of Gen. Arolas, the
military governor of Havana, for the
use of the troops. There is hardly
any traffic in the streets of Havana
and groups of more than two persons
are not allowed to loiter on street
corners. The street railway company,
whose cars are drawn by horses, are
obliged to run a car every hour in
stead of every five minutes as hereto
fore, as the horses of the company
have been taken by the government.

DECLARED INDEPENDENCE.
Philippine Insurgents Proclaim Their Free
dom from Spain's Yoke,


Chicago, June 21.-A special cable to
the Record from John T. McCutcheon,
a staf correspondent with Dewey's
Meet, reads as follows: Gen. Flip;
officially proclaimed n provisional
government in Old Cavite on June IL.
There were great ceremonies and a
declaration of independence was read
renouncing Spanish authority. Gen,
Agulnaldo was elected president and
Daniel Pirondo vice president The
insurgent government will not oppose
an American protectorate
The rebels have captured the Snan-
ish governor and the garrison of 300
men at Bulucan. The governor and
garrison at Pampanga are surround
ed end the governor and garrison of
45o men have been captured at Pa
tangas. June the family of Gov.
Gen. Augusti fled to the interior for
safety. The Spaniards in Manila are
reported as having shot 30 carbineros
for attempting to desert to the rebels.
Hong Kong, June 21.-The United
States transport Zafiro, which has lust
arrived here, brought news from Ma
Mia under date of June II. from
which it appears that the insurgents
now hold 1000 Spaniards and ,OGO na-
tives prisoners, together with their
arms. The insurgents also captured
on June IA the town of Oalanga, the
place next in Importance to Manila
in the bay.
Gen. Aguinaldo, the insurgent lead
er, has informed United States Consul
Williams of the Formation of a pro-
visional government, merely for CO.
hesive purposes, and has notified him
of the desire of the insurgents that
the Philippine islands become an
American colony.
The Spaniards have sunk the cruiser
Cebu, so as to obstruct the passage
of the Pasig river.
Gen. Monet, coming southwark with
5000 mixed troops from Balacan. 30
miles north of Manila. found the rail-
way line blocked and was surprised by
the insurgents. Fierce fighting en-
sued and was carried on for three
days, during which Gen. Monet was
killed. The native troops joined the
insurgents and the Spanards who
were left, about 500, surrendered.
At Zapote a regiment revolted at
critical moment. The authorities still
use mixed forces, with the result that
insurgent riflemen are frequently
found to have passed the sentries and
to be creeping along under cover and
firing upon the Spaniards from be-
hind.
London, June 21.-The Daily Mails
correspondent at Madrid says: Capt.
Gen. Augusti telegraphs that he has
gone into the walled city and that he
will be unable to communicate fur
ther with the government"

SPIES IN THE CAMP.
Informers are Plying Their Nefarious
Trade in Camp Merritt.


San Francisco, June 2O.-Great ex-
citement prevailed yesterday in Camp
Merritt over a report that one of the
most noted and daring of Spanish
spies had been captured in camp. 1t
was reported that the man had en-
listed in one of the regular regiments
infantry.
Investigation of the rumor revealed
the fact that the spy has not yet been
apprehended, but it is known that the
government has received reliable in
formation that leads it to believe that
Spain has informers in Camp Merritt,
and the war department has issued
orders to the commanding officers to
make a close investigation of every
man that enlists.
1t can be reliably stated that the
government fears a certain we'll
known informer, whose name for the
present is withheld. The government
has information that leads it to believe
that this man is in San Francisco with
the purpose of enlisting in one of the
regiments, even if he has not already
done so.
The man is said to have been secret
ly employed by De LONE when he was
in Washington and it is said he is the
direct agent of Sagasta.

THlRTY-Two DROWNED.
Frightful Accident Attends the Launch
ing of an English IsattleshIp.

London, June %. During the
launching of the new British battle
ship Albion, of 1880 tons, at Black
wall yesterday by the Duchess of
York, ceremony at which the Uni
ted States ambassador, Col. John
Hay, and Lieut.. Colwell, the United
States naval attache, assisted, the dis
placement of water caused an i'm
mense mass of water to rise on all
sides, completely submerging one of
the lower stages of the yard and i'm
mersing hundreds of people. Thirty
two bodies have thus far been recov-
cred.
About 200 hundred persons were
thrown into the water when the stag
ing was demolished by the back wash
of the huge battleship when she
plunged into the water. Most of these
were rescued by rowboats in the
vicinity, but many were swept away
by the food tide and sank before as
sistance could reach them. About 60
of the spectators were injured.

FINEST I'M THE WORLD.
asu. Miles Says the American Soldier Hat
No Superior.

Washington, June 1s.-Major Gen.
Miles arrived in Washington yesterday
after having directed the departure
of the first army of invasion to Cuba.
He conferred with Secretary Alger be-
fore the cabinet meeting and then
had long talk with Gen. Luddington.
quartermaster general, on the condi-
tion of quartermaster's supplies. He
came in response to summons from
the secretary of war, who desires to
go over certain phases of the campaign
with him.
Gen. Miles said: Waving spent
some time with the troops during a
trying period of hurried preparations,
am glad to say that they are a
splendid body of men, which the coup-
try may well be proud of. AS to the
regulars, they are the finest corps in
the world. OF course the volunteer
army is not so well equipped. Some of
the states sent men into the field in
very good condition, notably Massa-
chusetts and New York. Others sent
their quotas without arms, equipment,
or clothing"
Gen Miles attention was directed to
the reports coming from Tampa of
great confusion and delay in prepar-
ing the expedition and getting it off
for Cuba. YES" he said, there were
causes contributing to this delay. In
the first place the post Office service
at these points of army concentration
is very deficient.
THAT has been one of the troubles
at Tampa and other places, and as
result the official communications to
and from the war department, on
which depend the regularity of NOV
ing many kinds of stores, have been
seriously delayed. Then in gathering
the munitions of war for an army it
was necessary to have the service of
a great number of trains loaded with
stores, crowding the railroad lines far
beyond their usual capacity. However,
all this is getting Strengthened out
now and already most of it has been
overcome. The troops at Tampa are
in very good health.

More Clouds Gather for Letter.

Chicago, June 21.-More threaten
ing clouds are gathering for Letter
Since the announcement of Letters
withdrawal from the deal, the price
of wheat has declined ten cents. That
means an additional loss of Sl,000,0 900
within "a week which the elder Letter
apparently will have to pay. Another
source of evil to the Letter prospects
is the persistent rumor from across
the water that foreigners are refus-
ing the wheat Letter sold. Various
reasons are assigned for the rejection,
but in each case there appears the
possibility that Letter will find his
wheat coming back to him

Buffalo, n. Y, June ga trunk
containing the dismembered body of a
man afterwards identified as that of

WAR CRAFT NAMED.
A Wholesale Christening Takes Place at
the Navy Department.


Washington, June 21.-There was a
wholesale christening at the navy de-
partment Monday when Secretary
Long supplied names for 35 war craft.
All of these were provided for in the
last naval appropriation bill, and
while contracts for their construction
have not yet been let, the advertise
ments have been issued except in the
case of the monitors and all the boats
will be under way before cold wealth
er. First in the list of the big battle
ships is the Maine, for congress has
provided that that name shall be con-
tinued in the naval list. The other
two big battleships will be called the
Missouri and the Ohio. The first of
the torpedo boats bears the name of
the brave young Ensign Bagley, who
was killed on the deck of the Winslow
under the guns of Cardenas, the first
American naval officer to lose his life
in the war.
Four states have the privilege of
giving their names to monitors-Ar-
kansas, Connecticut, Florida and Wy
oming. The names given to the 16
torpedo boat destroyers are those of
Americas famous naval heroes-Bain-
bridge, Barry, Cnauncey, Dale, Deca-
tur, Hopkins, Hull, Lawrence, Mae
Donough, Paul Jones, Perry, Preble,
Stewart, Truxton, Whipple and Wor-
den. The names applied to the tor
pedo boats are those of lesser fame,
but still of glorious memory. Besides
Bagley they are: Barney, Biddle,
Blakely, De Long, Nicholson, O'Brien,
Shubrick, Stockton, Thornton, Tingey,
Wilkes. There is now only one ves-
sci, either building or authorized, left
without a name, a gunboat officially
known as No. 16.

Havana, June 18.-The Spanish gov

change of the prisoners of the Merit
mac. The gunboat Yanez Pinzon ex-
changed communications on Thursday
with an American warship, under a
flag of truce, and the commander of
the latter was informed that Blanco
has no authority to exchange Naval
Constructor Hobson and his compan-
ions for Spaniards now held prisoners

Department Needs an overhaullne.

Chicago, June 1s.-A prominent rail-
road official who returned from Tampa
yesterday said that the health of the
troops there was excellent. 1.-THE de-
lays attending the transportation of
troops from Tampa" he said, were
caused by the lack of ability on the
part of army quartermasters, who
seemed to be utterly unable to proper
ly discharge their duties. Many car
loads of provisions for the troops were
not handled promptly and their con-
tents spoiled and had to be thrown
into the sea. The military system of
the United States is defective in the
ouartermaster's department"

TO BLOW UP THE SHIP.
A Report that an Attempt was Made to
Destroy the City of Picking.

Victoria, B. c., June 2O.-The steam
er Miowera has brought the follow
ing from Honolulu, dated June 8:
The Hawaiian Star publishes the fol-
lowing story regarding an attempt to
blow up the United States ship City
of Peling while that vessel was in port
here. If the report is true, Honolulu
came near being the scene of as fright
full a disaster as that of the Maine,
and in much the same way.
The story is that an attempt to
blow up the Peking magazine was
frustrated just in time. An enlisted
man, it is said, was caught just in the
act of arranging a fuse connecting
with the magazine. The magazine
contains 400 tons of powder and had
been guarded closely. The criminal.
it is said, is now under close guard
and when the Pelting gets out to sea
will be hanged from the yard arm.
