MOB A BRITISH CONSUL.
Such Reports Sent British Ships In
Haste to Cuba.

Kingston, Jamaica, May 4.-(Copy-
right, 1895, by the Associated Press. D
Trouble of a most serious nature is
threatening British interests at Sfs
tiago de Cuba The British third class
cruiser Pearl is now there, and within
"a hours the British third class cruiser
Pallas and the British sloop Alert prob
ably will join her.
The Alert it now appears, was ac-
companied to Santiago de Cuba by the
Pearl. and the Alert was sent back With
dispatches regarded by the British con-
sui as being too important to trust to
the censored cable.
These dispatches were cabled to Lon
don by the colonial authorities here.
The Alert will return to Santiago de
Cuba with the Pallas, now at Port
Antonio
The colonial authorities are reticent
as to the contents of the dispatches
and the reasons for the movements of
the warshiDs, but the story told the
Associated Press correspondent at the
Jamaica club today was that the Brit
ish consul, Mr.. Ramon, had been at
tackled in the consulate by a mob,
whereupon he fired upon the crowd,
killing a Spaniard, and has been i'm
prisoned. These statements, however,
are not verified.
Mr.. Ramon is a partner in the firm
of Brooks Brothers, and is regarded as
a man of vigorous and even violent
character.
Later in the day it was reported that
the trouble at Santiago de Cuba has
been settled. The British Warship
Pearl has arrived at Port Royal, and
though her officers are reticent. it is be-
lieved that trouble is not as serious as
at the Jamaica club. The
British waTship Pallas is still at Port
Antonio. There is no further light on
the occurrences at Santiago de Cuba.

Dewey's Naval Victory Mortified Eu-
ropeans In Mexico.

City of Mexico. May 4-The govern
ment has stopped the contemplated
meeting Of Spanish clerks here for the
purpose of raising money and volun-
teers for Spain. The police were or
dered to prevent the meeting as con-
trary TO the obligations of neutral
nation.
There has been great excitement here
over the American naval victory, and
its moral effect will be great, for the
Spanish local papers and other journals
under Spanish influence have conf
IDENTIFY anticipated triumph for Spain in
the first encounter on the ocean.
Resident Europeans who have been
predicting the defeat of the Americans
are chagrined. There is intense COM
mercial jealousy of Americans, and
this hostile sentiment is displayed in
the papers here.
The Spaniards are predicting an I'M
expected blow by their cruisers at some
point on the Atlantic coast

THREATENING SUGGESTION.
Europe Will Prevent Our Free Dis
posal of Philippines.

London, May 4.-The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon, discussing the
Philippine question, quotes the assump-
ton of American newspapers that the
United States can do precisely what
she chooses with Manila or the Philip
pine Islands-return them, keep them
sell them or barter them,'' implying
that America has only to speak and
no one will venture to dispute her right
to dispose of her lawful prize as she
chooses.
The Westminster Gazette says it
much fears that this view will entail
disagreeable surprises" adding: In
entering European politics the United
States will probably discover that these
simple ideas of doing what you will
with your own have become obsolete in
Europe. The first symptoms are likely
to be marked by an increase of the
anti American pressure, which, if Great
Britain chould be counted on to join it,
would speedily lead to Intervention in
behalf of SPAIN"

SPANISH SPY CAPTURED.
Suspect Appreciated Around the St.
PauPs Magazine.

Philadelphia, May 4.-The report that
a supposed Spanish spy had been cap
tured aboard the auxiliary cruiser st.
Paul at Cramps yard last night, was
confirmed today. Who the man is
Captain Sigsbee refused to state, and
all that is known of him is that his
father is a Spaniard, and that his
mother was born on Cuban soil.
The suspect enlisted some days ago
as an oiler, and almost from the time
of his enlistment was under suspicion
on account of his peculiar actions Late
last night marine who was on watch
below the decks near the powder mag
azine, discovered the man acting in
suspicious way around the magazine
The marine lost no time in bringing
the man TO ground. and d short and
severe fight followed. The guard over
powered him, but not before the sus-
pect had received great cash on the
right side of his face.
He was taken before Captain Sigsbee
for examination, and the captain com
mitted him to the brig for the night.
"A thorough investigation is being made
today
The st. Paul is expected to leave
Cramps tomorrow. On her way TO sea
she will stop at either League Island
navy yard or Fort Milling to take on
her ammunition. Her crew is practi-
cally complete.

IT Is sCALPING.
So Say the Agents Concerning Teach
ers' Excursions

One of the school teachers is ag-
grieved because of the story told in
yesterdays Herald concerning "excur-
sions'' to the east, and declared to a re-
porter that she was working with the
consent of the general agent of one of
the lines having Utah connections She
said 1T was a very common thing for
agents of that line to visit the schools
and promise a free ticket to any teacher
getting a half dozen or more to go via
his line. and that she believed there
was nothing wrong in it.
This matter being communicated to
the agents of the lines making the kick.
they pronounce the action of the road
indicated as being not a bit better than
scalping, and agree to report it, if they
can secure evidence enough to put the
agent aforesaid and hereinbefore men
