TORPEDO DISASTER RUMORED

New York, May f.-An unconhrmed
dispatch from Havana is printed here TO
the effect that an American vessel en-
gagged in removing torpedoes at Cabanas
was blown up and the entire crew perish
ed. Nothing is known at Key West Of
any such disaster.
Key West. Fla, May 17.-Boats which
have just arrived here from the blockad-
ing feet say that they have no knowl-
edge of any craft having been blown up
off Cardenas or anywhere else. The
opinion is expressed that the Spanish re-
port probably originated in the Wilping-
ton sinking the Spanish derelict schooner
loaded with old iron, as reported by the
Associated Press today.
Madrid, May I'LL a. ma dispatch
received here from Havana says that
small naval boat, having a crew OF seven
teen men. has been blown up off Car
denas while engaged in removing tor
pedoes from that harbor. The dispatch
adds that torpedo exploded through
the negligence OF those engaged in the
work and that all Of the crew of the
boat referred to persisted. The dispatch

Washington, May 1.-THE cabinet ses-
sion today lasted until about 1890 Sec
rotary Long came late and left about
half an hour before the others. Secretary
Day also left early. The members. as
they left the White House were unusually
reticent even as to minor matters. cd
explained that the administration was
hampered in it's work by the indiscreet
publication of news as to naval and army
movements Secretary-Long said that al
though the matter of rigid censorship of
the press was not discussed at today's
cabinet meeting. the action of certain
newspapers in publishing movements and
campaigning plans was causing great en-
barra ssment.
Nothing was said at the meeting as to
the reported purpose OF the president TO
issue a call for additional volunteers. nor
was the subject of sending more troops
to the Philippines than the 1900 already
decided upon. mentioned by the president.
The government is now in constant COM
municatlon with Admiral Dewey, and his
judgment as to the number Of troops nee
essary TO accomplish the subjugation Of
the islands will be followed
So far as could be learned, no important
information had been received as to tho
movements of the Spanish feet. nor could
It be learned whether a conflict between
the fleets was likely to take place within
the next day or two.

SPANISH TRICK THAT FAILED

Key West, May i7.-The United States
Todd, when about 30 miles east of Havana
yesterday. fired shells into q Spanish trap
in the shape Of a derelict sinking and
thus doing away with another piece OF
Spanish trickery. The commander of the
Wilmington had been warned by dispatch
boats that some dangerous wreckage was
drifting about the spot mentioned and the
cruiser steamed in that direction 10 in
vestigate the report An old Spanish
schooner with her deck loaded TO the rails
with rusty iron, car wheels. etc. closely
packed together, was found floating in the
track of torpedo and dispatch boats. The
iron-laden schooner had evidently been
sent out of Havana harbor in the hope
that torpedo boat or small craft of the
blockade force would crash into ii and be
so damaged as to cause her TO sink iAs
wires were noticed around the iron rails
on the schooner, Commander Todd be-
lieved the Spanish trap might also con-
tain explosives, and therefore, laying of
a considerable distance from her. his guns
DrOrnptIy sent her 70 the bottom.

COLORED "IMMUNES"

Washington, May IA delegation OF
prominent negroes, consisting of Govern
or Pinchbeck, Colonel James Lewis and
Captain Judson w. Lyons, called on the
secretary of war today and urged that
all of the ten regiments of immunes to
be sent to Cuba be made up of colored
men. They pointed out the especial SER
vice the colored troops. bred in the south
ern climate and most of them used to
conditions similar to those to be confront
ed in Cuba, would have in the campaign.
Secretary Alger was not able TO concede
all the immune regiments to colored vol
unteers, but gave assurance that several
Of them would be composed of men of
their race. The delegation also urged the
appointment of Captain Thomas S. KeI-
ley of Louisiana as a colonel of one of
the immune regiments. Captain Kelley,
it is said, has the Endorsement of General
Miles.

men. The regular troops will be the first
to get landed in Cuba, and General Shat
ter's reputation as a fighter leads the
men to believe that their work will be
cut out for them from the start. General
Wade will take 10 Chickamauga with
him his entire staff, including LieHten-
ants Almy and Read, Lieutenant Colonel
Arthur Macarthur, and Major D. ]. D.
Wheeler. Arrangements have been prac-
tically concluded for the placing of the
thirteen regiments of volunteers which
will be included in the Seventh army
corps, under Major General Fitzhugh
Lee at Lakeland and Dade City. at least
until the troops at Tampa are moved.
The water supply. which has been
cause of much annoyance at Tampa, is
abundant at Lakeland.
Lieutenant Rowan, who accompanied
the Leyden expedition to Cuba and sue
ceeded in reaching General Garcia's
headquarters, will leave for Washing
ton, where he will report to Adjutant
General Corbin.
Major General Wheeler commanding
the cavalry division, will establish his
headquarters at West Tampa tomorrow.

MORE REGULARS FOR MANILA

Washington. May 17.-Colonel r. P.
Hughes. inspector general, with headQuar-
ters at New York City, was at the war
department today on a mission from Cen
eral Merritt in connection with the assign

Philippines expedition, soon to start from
San Francisco. General Merritts pref

10 give him has been known here for
some time and his views on that subject
are shared by many OF the army officials.
They realize that General Merritt will
have a delicate duty to perform as mill
tary governor of the Philippines and they
agree in expressing the opinion that the
general should have an adequate and well
disciplined force at his command to main
tain order in a city that will be dlled with
discordant elements There are not
enough regulars in the west to furnish the
number that General Marritt thinks
should be sent on the expedition and con-
sequently Secretary Alger and the depart
mem4 officials have been considering the
adv'sability of Withdrawing about three
of the infantry regiments from Tampa,
where a large number are now rendez-'
voused and of dispatching them post
haste 20 the Pacific coast These men
are wei seasoned and thoroughly disci-
plned and are just the kind General
Merritt believes should be sent on the

and electricians to accompany the Phil

DAY that he had received no information,
official or unofficial. Of any such purpose
on The part OF his government. and he IS
confident thar the report is without foUn-
dation. In his opinion, the statement car
.ies with it its own contradiction, since il
is self-evident that the present position

occasion or reason Tor a protest by Japan.
