FIGHT AT CIENFUEGOS.
Member Of the Crew of the Marblehead
Gives an Interesting Descrip-
finn.

New YORK, May %. An interesting
letter has been received at Green Point.
L. l., from a member Of the crew Of the
cruiser Marblehead, who described the
engagement off Cienfuegos. on the
southern coast Of Cuba. He writes,
under date OF May IS. as follows:
Left Key West on May 4. about
midnight. The Eagle joined Us before
we got to Cienfuegos. The Nashville
came next day. We lay off and on till
the 10th, when a coal collier and the
Window came down with the order for
us to cut the three cables hat went out
Of Cieufuegos. The next morning at 6,
two boats from our ship and two from
the Nashville went in within 80 yards
Of the shore. They had to go in close,
for the water IS very deep.
There was a fine lighthouse and quite
a high mountain and 100 Spanish sol.
dlers on the point. As soon as the
boats left the ships we took our posi-.
ton 1900 yards from shore. The
Nashville took hers and we all sent
shell into the woods and all around the
lighthouse, but did not touch the latter.
Trees, stones and dirt did everlastingly
fly, and the Spaniards We're going over
the hills as fast as they could. Every.
thing worked we'll.
I'VE got two cables cut all right and
were on the third, when they got some
rapld.tre guns working On our boats.
We sent 5-inch shells in there as fast
as we could load the guns, but did not
reach them. One was coming from
the lighthouse. As oon as the captain
saw 1t he ordered them I fire on the
lighthouse. Six 5.lnch shells struck it
at the same time.
.Our boats had been driven away
from the cable. There was n man
dead in the boats and seven injured.
We ggt the men out Of the boats,
hois-eI the boats and blew down the
lighthouse. II was a fire sight to see
them shoot at the lighthouse. II was
about to feet high and built Of brick.
They cut il IN the center and it fell all
II a heap. We put all the injured
aboard the Window and sem them to
Key West. We buried the one that
wa, killed the same night after supper.
1.-The next day four lnsurgent leaders
came aboard and said that they We're
lack Of the hills and as fast as the
Span!ard. came oyer the hills, from the
effects Of our fire, they would shoot
them. We killed 800 Spaniards and
wounded five Insurgents. One shell
landed IN their camp. One Of the in
surgents could speak good English. He
had been through some college in
Pennsylvania

Raised the British Flag On Our Side
Of KlOndike.
DIED FROM EXPOSURE
VICTIMS OF THE HARDSHIPS OF
THE WHITE PASS.
Arrival of the Noyo at Seattle With
About 100000 Worth of Gold
Dust - Report About the British
Flag Not Verified When the Noyo
Left-Klondike News.

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 25.-The steamer
schooner Noyo, which arrived here to-
day from Skaguay, Alaska. brings news
which. if true, will probably cause in
ternationaI complications. Parties ar
irving at Skaguay before the Noyo left,
circulated the report that the Canadian
mounted police had raised the British
flag at Summit Lake, which is II miles
from Skaguay, and IA miles inside of
the American line, as at present de-
fined. Captain Lindquist, of the Noyo,
says the report had not been verified
when he left Skaguay, and that he
places but little credence in it.
The Noyo also brings news of many
deaths on the White pass, resulting
from cold and exposure. On Tuesday,
Feb. Is. the bodies of five men who
had died on the trail, were brought into
Skaguay. 1t was impossible to learn
from what is called cerebro spinal me-
ningitis. which is quite prevalent in
Skaguay and along the trail 1t has its
origin in exposure and a lack of suffic-
lent clothing to withstand the severe
cold
The Noyo had as passengers three
Dawsonites, who stopped at Juneau.
They We're James Brownell, Frank La
Roy and L. r. Flint They are reported
to have brought out about $50, 900 worth
of gold dust and drafts from the in
terror Stormy weather was encOunt-
cred by the Noyo. Thirty-One vessels
were passed, bound for the north.

My Dear Mr.. Morse: II was very

NEW ADJUTANT GENERAL.
Col. Corbin Earned His Stars In Civil
and Indian Wars.

Washington, Feb. 25.-The president
today appointed Colonel Henry c. Cor
bin adjutant general of the army. to
succeed General Samuel Brock, retired
on account Of age General Breck had
held the Office only since Sept. IL last,
when he succeeded Adjutant General
Ruggles.
General Breck was born in Massa-
chusetts in 1884, and graduated from
the military academy in 1855. He was
an instructor in the academy at the
outbreak of the civil war, but promptly
relinquished that post to undertake ac-
tive service in the field, where he served
with gallantTy throughout the war,
earning several -brevets.
Colonel Henry c. Corbin is a native
of Ohio, and entered the army as an
enlisted man at the beginning Of the
late war. He had a most brilliant ca
reer, and earned, breYets for gallant
and meritoriouS service at Decatur and
Nashville. In 1866 he was transferred to
the regular service as second heuten-
ant of the Seventeenth United States
infantry. President Hayes appointed
him to the staff in 1880, making him
major and assistant adjutant general.
General Corbin has seen service in the
Indian campaigns at Pine Ridge, in
Arizona and elsewhere. Before promo
ton he was assistant to the adjutant
general, and before coming to Wash
ington he was adjutant general of the
department of the east at New York.

FEELING IN HAVANA.
Importance of Recent Action of Au-
economist Party.

economist HarLy-
Havana, Feb. 25-The Havana papers
print long extracts from the American
dailies but of course only of delayed news,
All the Americans are anxiously awaiting
the arrival of tOmorrow'S mail.
Consul General Lee says he has received
no news of Importance from the state de-
partment nor mas he been notified to eX-
pect the arrival of any one of prominence.
1t IS believed here that II any American
OF national reputation comes TO Havana
now, il will be to study the situation for
himself and not as an official commits
sioner-
In the uncertainty of the relations with
the United States, the importance of the
recent action of the autonoTnist party is
overlooked. Its central committee has
formally approved the plan which is a
confession of the failure of the present
scheme Of autonomy and an offer to the
insurgents to conceCe everything except
the withdrawal of the Spanish Tag. Its
significance lies in the fact that Senior
GOWN. a member of the autonomist
cabinet, was a leading spirit in the meet
ing and offered the resolutions for treat
ing with the insurgents, which include a
two weeks ago when the radical autonom-
list party was formed. These cover ev-
erything but independence. These
autonomists have no authority to repre-
sent Spain in the negotiations and give
no guaranty that Spain would yield the
concessions offered.
The resolutions are in one sense an
answer to the complaint from Madrid
that the autonomiSt cabinet was doing
nothing TO bring the insurgents to recog-
milton, If negotiations are ever actually
opened with the insurgents, Gown and
the radical autonomists proposition will
be rejected.
The intransigeants are still hostile to
the government. Among them the Maine
inquiry is adding to the smothered anti
American feeling. The authorities pro-
less ability TO hold II in check.

PRESIDENT coNoEALs NOTHING
He Knows No More About the Maine
Than the Next Nan.


Chicago, Feb. 25.-A1r. H. H. Kohlsaat,
who is very close to President McKin-
ley, publishes the following in the Chi
cago Evening Post today:
1T can be stated positively that
neither the president nor Secretary
Long is in possession of q single fact
or report in regard TO the Maine dis
aster that they have not made public.
And while they cannot confirm or deny
the sensational stories daily published
throughout the country as TO the prog
ress of the court of inquiry, they know
that none of the evidence or cOnclu-
sions of the court will be made public
in advance of the report. Every official
connected with the inquiry into the
cause of the disaster to the Maine,
from Captain Sampson down to the div
ers and linemen, is under oath of Sc
crecy. For the time being the divers are
under naval discipline. When above
water, each is attended by a petty off,
Ger of the court of inquiry. The Maine
itself is sacredly guarded from unofti-
cial approach.
These facts account for the remark
able equanimity with which the Amer
lean people read the daily sensations
from Havana and the stock jObbing
forebodings of war from New York and
Washington.
This much is absolutely true: Pres
ident Mckinley knows nothing about
the wreck of the Maine, or the testi-
mOny as to it's cause, that he has not
made public. He will not withhold any
information which he gets. He has not
come to any conclusion as to whether
the disaster was accidental or designed,
or whether it was caused by an internal
or external explosion.
when he receives the report of the
court of inquiry, he will know the facts,
which he will make public, with his
conclusions and policy"

BRYAN ADMoNIsHEs PATIENCE
We Cannot Afford to Be Too Hasty
In This Matter.

Topeka. Kan, Feb. 25.-William j.
Bryan. who was the principal speaker
at the banquet of the Democratic club
in this city tonight, was interviewed by
a State Journal reporter today concern
ing the Maine affair
In my opinion We should be slow to
act in the Maine affair. especially I'M
der the trying circumstances which
confront US he said. Another fact
which. in my mind, impels us to eN-
ercise discretion is that the official in
vestigation of the explosion is now
being made The United States cannot
afford to be too hasty in this matter
International questions are involved,
and il would be a sad compliment to
oIlr government were We to openly and
maliciously bring about strained rela
tons by our anxiety to locate the re-
sponsibility of the Maine disaster
Nothing should be done until the inves-
tigation is completed"
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1898-02-26

they do not afford the means of judg-
ing of. the actual power of the wind.
In the tropics it is said that il is not
an unusual thing in times of hurricane
for wind To travel at the rate of 100
miles an hour. This is a velocity
which brings something ike half a
huncredweight to bear on every square
foot of space in its way. That is reck-
oning direct pressure. without comput-
ing anything in the way of leverage,
which must. of course, often be exerted
10 an immense extent.
~ - --eai-y sometimes approach
TO the tropical standard IL is difficult
to say. So far as We are aware the
nearest recorded approximation was
Jwn by an thermometer at Liverpool
in 1863. This was a foot pressure of
43 pounds. which would represent a
velocity of 90 miles an hour or there
abouts. In the early months of 1861
Lloyd's thermometer at the Royal Ex-
change here in London. showed SO miles
an hour. which would give somewhere
about 80 pounds to the square foot The
meteorological office reckons anything
up to 81 miles an hour strong
breeze over that velocity it calls a
moderate gale up TO 10 miles an hour:
a fresh gale" if blowing between 40
and IS miles an hour; a strong gale"
up to So miles. and whole gale" for
Ordinarily. that is as high as we ever
get in this country; "a storm in me-
neurological phraseolOgy means a We
locity of 90 to rs miles an hour.
Even while the wind is driving across
country at any known velocity it is not
altogether easy to say what may be
the force with which it impinges on
certain objects or rushes over any
given point. Where such winds as beat
over the metropolis last night are roar
ing over lofty buildings it must often
happen that air currents viii be de-
fiected and combined in such a manner
as to add immensely TO their dsstruct-
i've force. OF course, a current of air
rushing into d narrow channel will
have its velocity and power increased
just as i stream of water would under
similar circumstances. Thus a wind of
20 miles an hour tearing over London
may every here and there attain to a
much higher velocity. and this may ac-
count for the overthrow of Q good many
chimney stacks and the damage done to
q good many roofs. 1t may now and
then account, too, for some of the more
startling incidents recorded from time
to time during storms of wind. such as
the carrying of pedestrians off their
feet and the blowing over of vehicles.
During the great storm of 1903 the
story goes that q large stable was lift
ed up and carried clear over FIVE horses
and the man who was feeding them
without doing them the slightest in
jury the structure coming to earth
again many yards from its original pO-
sition.

DE LONE IN ENGLAND.
Newspapers In America Work Upon
Popular Prejudice, He Says.

Liverpool, Feb. 25.-Senor Dupuy de
LONE, who arrived here today on the
White Star line steamship Britannia,
is quoted as saying. in an interview: Il
have decided not to speak on the sub
ject of my letter TO Senior Canalejas. I
can say. however. that 1 have been
from the first victim of misrepresen-
tation. The news published in the
American papers and sent to this coun-
try and my own was, from beginning
to end, made up of lies of the most in
famous character. The allegation in
the American papers that the terrible
explosion of the Maine was the outcome
of a Spanish conspiracy is, in my opin-
ion, another instance of the reckless
manner in which newspapers in Amer
lea work upon popular prejudice"
