Some Madrid Papers Stand by the states
Inan-Talk in IA Cabinet Council.
Madrid, June 3.-The article signed
by Senior Castelar,, the Republican lead
er, recently printed in the Petite Revue
1nternationale, and reproduced i'm sew
eral Spanish papers which are being
prosecuted for so doing, monopolizes
public attention. In this article Senior
Castelar, attacked the queen regent, re-
preaching her with being a foreigner
and unpopular, and with interfering I'M
justiflably in political affairs. He also
compared her present position with that
of Queen Marie Antoinette on the eve
of the French revolution. A majority
of the newspapers condemn Senior Cas-
telar's remarks, but the extremist or
gans defend them. The Conservative
Epoca declares CASTELAR, has expressed
this opinion in conversation during the
past two rronths, and the Epoca be-
lieves he aims at grouping around him
the scattered Republican elements.
The ministerial Correo doubts the au-
thcrship of the article, believing it i'm
probable that Senior CASTELAR, has for
ii
to his culture and love of the father
land" General Weyler's organ, The
Nacional, and the Republican Pals
warmly defend CASTELAR,, while the Car
list Correo Espanol attacks the govern
ment. 1t SAYS: During the past eighty
years the Liberals have seen three wo-
men on the throne. and they have gross
ly expelled the first two and sullied their
memory The Heraldo hopes the gov
eminent will refrain from exposing the
glorious old age of Senior CASTELAR, to the
veXations of puerile prosecution.
At yesterdays cabinet council, the
queen regent presiding, Duke Almodo-
var de Rio, the foreign minister. report

SPANISH MISSILES FALL SHORT.
While the American Shots Tear Up the
Earth Most Savageiy.

The Iowa came next, and like the
Massachusetts devoted her attention to
the ships lying within the harbor. Her
Pinch shells made the water fly all
around that part Of the harbor in which
the Cristobal Colon lay. The latter.
however. was not seriously damaged
end kept up her fire until long after the
American ship steamed out of range.
After the Iowa came the little Vixen,
which apparently had no business in
fight where battleships We're engaged.
But She scGdded along after the Iowa
like a fox terrier following a mastiff,
and when at the proper point she let
fly with her one 6-pounder and glide
away. proudly conscious Of having done
her best.
After the Vixen had passed the forts
the Massachusetts turned again west
ward, followed by the other ships in the
same order with the exception of the
Vixen, which was ordered to keep out
Of trouble. The ironclads bore down
on the harbCr once more. The flagship
kept in until less than 4.0G0 yards from
the shore. and then her shells again be-
gan TO hoave up the waters Of Santiago
harbor. This time the shore batteries
were better served, and the Spaniards
replied to TIE warships fire in energetic
fashion. Bit nearly all the shots from
the batteries fell short. Then came the
New Orleans once more. her long black
guns doing fearful work, and tearing
up the ground all around the batteries
in the most savage manner.
The Spaniards dropped shells close to
the Iowa as she came by for the second
time. sending a stream of shells into
the harbor as she did SO. The Spanish
ships, with the exception of the Cristo-
hal Colon, were behind the hills. and
could not see the enemy who threw
shells around them with such rapidly
But they knew he was somewhere on
the other side of the hill and then hope
fully raised the muzZ!es OF their guns
ard banged away. The result was
what might have been expected. Their
fire tore the bosom of the Caribbean
sea. but it harmed nothing else. After
the Massachusetts had passed the point
where she could fire into the harbor
with advantage she turned to the open
sea, the other vessels following her.
That fight was over as far as the Amer
leans were concerned.
Not an american vessel was struc,-
and not a sailor injured, although fully

London. June 3.-Yesterday's news
and that which comes this morning has
brought TO fresh feature into the situa-
ton except increased mystification as to
whether Admiral Cervera is really at
Santiago de Cuba. The Madrid corre-
spondents of the morning papers make
the point that the persistence with
which Senior Sagasta and Captain
Aunor the minister of marine) assert
Cervcra's presence there is q mere at
tempt to mislead the enemy. On the
other hand it is argued that Admiral
Cervera could not be in a safer place
and that if Admiral Camara could sue
coed in entering another West Indian
harbor and thus employ two American
squadronS in the work of blockading
SPANS policy of delay would be as
sisted. But for the negative evidence
that Admiral Cervera has not been seen
elsewhere London opinion leans to the
theory that he escaped from Santiago
harbor either before sunday or possibly
under cover of the torpedo manoeuvres
Sunday night.
Regarding European Intervention.
With regard to reports of European
intervention the Vienna correspondents
of both The Daily Chronicle and Daily
News deny that the Austrian govern
| ment has received any fresh communi-
cation from Spain. 1t would appear
therefore that any efforts in this di-
reCtinn are being made only in France.
where they are apparently the most
likely to succeed. 1t is understood that
NJ. HanotauX and other ministers re-
gard TIE present situation as intoler.

ing commerce, would necessitate post
poning the coming exhibition. Ii is
hoped that the new commercial agree
ment between France and the United
States viii smooth the way to French
intervention. in which certainly Austria
and perhaps England or other powers
will join.
Sentiment Growing for Peace.
Count de Rascon, the SPANISH am
bLssador in London. who has been in
| tervewed on the subject, admitted that
war means ruin fer Spain, and he said:
The sentiment is growing in favor of
seeking an honorable peace. which
America, cor sidering her unprcnared-
ness fer a war of invasion, would also
welcome in preference to a prOtr8cted
struggle, involving heavy sacrifices in
men and money"

Fresh Mater rroops I'D sen.

When the Michigan regiments went
east n few weeks ago 10 embark on the
Yale for Cuba they imagined they were
to have a gay summer voyage. The
fame of the luxurious ocean travel had
penetrated the Michigan pineries, and
the Yale was known to be one Of the
finest diners" So the lads piled
aboard and made for the cabins with a
rush. But here they were confronted
with fierce-looking marines with fixed
hayonets. Repulsed at this point, the
Nlichiganders went about to find their
staterooms. They raced about the
decks. plunged down the hatchways
and thronged every entrance that gave
promise of disclosing one OF those
luxurious little rooms. But the same
rrim marines headed them off at all
points. Finally the order came for each
man to deposit his blanket and KNAPP
sack in regular order upon the two
decks That meant that each mans
ftateroom was on the hard deck just
where his blanket lay.-San Francisco

HELD UP A TRAIN.
There Were Some Amusing Incidents
Ina the Naval work nt
Santiago.

The first shot fred by the Brooklyn
IN the war occurred three days after
we arrived off Santiago. in the night.
1t was little after dusk. when the
Vixen. torpedo boat destroyer, which
was lying well inshore, fred the red.
green, red rocket signal, Indicating
torpedo attack. AT the same time a
small white light could be seen moving
down the coast to the eastward. This
looked like business-just what every
RAN had been wishing for q few min
utes before on the forecastle. Ship was
cleared for action with a rush and we
stood by our guns, peeping through
open ports into the inky blackness.

The Iowu, lying astern Of us, opened
up on the shore with her six-pounders.
This was too much for one Of our or

and he let drive a port six-pounder
without orders. j was our first gun.
Furthermore Il came near being an un-
fortunate shot, as Il flew dangerously
close over the Marbleheads stern.
which, unbelSnown TO us, had run in
shore and broad of us, TO the consterna-
ton of Capt. McCalla and his men. a
vigorous wigwagging Of lights made us
aware of the fact.
Still. there was nothing to be seen
save the light moving along swiftly, a
strange proceeding for torpedo boat.
In order TO be in it, the Massachusetts,
fred a six-inch at the light, and IL went
out. All hands concluded that this shot
had put the enemy out Of commission,
and while securing the guns were hur-
rahing for our consort. Shortly the
Vixen came alongside.

Il wish TO report, sir. that we have
been chasing n locomotive on the
beach, installing IL for a torpedo boat,
and that the Massachusetts, fired her

Everybody laughed at the incident
and none more heartily than the com
modore, who said that it was his first
experience in holding up train. We
saw the engine make her trips on the
beach for several succeeding nights
but were never fooled again.-Cor. Bos
