Cervcra is Practically Inaccessible in San
tiagO Harbor

Washington, May 25-Ihe naval depart,
ment officials accepting that Cervera is in
Santiago horbor, are of the opinion that
ho is likely to remain there for a long
time-weeks and months perhaps. A
study of the defenses of the harbor and
Typographical features has convinced the
experts that to undertake to carry the
place by storm from tho sea and to attack
the fleet while 1T is under the protection
of the forts would involve so great loss
of life on our part as to he entirely un.
warranted under the existing conditions.
L he harbor is known to be mined and
these mines are SO well protected By
judiciously placed shore batteries that the
usual methods Of countering mining
could be practiced only with the utmost
peril to the sailors of our feet. Morro
Castle, one of the principal defenses of
the harbor, is perched upon very high
elevation. Its guns, if served with any
thing like fair gunnery could rain most
destructive tire down upon our ships.
On the other hand it is extremely diff
cult for guns mounted on shipboard to be
sufficiently elevated to throw projectiles
with any effect against modern fortifi-
cation on an eleyaGef bluff or hill. 3'he
effort therefore probably will be made t O
keep Cervera inside Santiago harbor un

What threatens to develop into an ugly

cidedly serious. A report was circulated
this evening that marine had Teen shot

Twelve negroes were found in the jail
but as the identity of the supposed

spirits suggested lynching of negro on

The feeling among the Jackies and the
Marines against the negro population is
intense, aggravated by last nights affray

Washington, May 25.-Secretary Alger

a correspondent was urged to adopt means
to get photographs OF the defenses, de-
spite the prohibition. The concern in this

it urged it's agents to secure photographs

referred, recommends that publication

KEY VESTS REIGN OF TERROR.
Two Mnrt.ers Committed in One Night
Police Force Consists of Three Men,

Key West, Fla, May 25. --lO a. m.-Key
West is suffering from reign of terror.
Two murders were committed during the
night and the best citizens feel that un-
less the town Els promptly put under
martial law state of riot may prevail at
any moment. The police force consists OF
three men.
In consequence of last nights blood
shed, Commander Forsythe has already
asked for a guard of twenty-five marines
to protect the naval station and govern
ment dock and strong efforts are being
made by citizens to have martial law de
clare6.
While William Carne, seaman of the
auxiliary gunboat Morrill,, and Vladimir
lchnitski, Russian sailor of another
gunboat, were sitting in a Cuba coffee
shop last night, Charles Kitchen, local
negro, approached, bearing a rife on his
shoulder, and, without word of warn
ing, he aimed it at the sailors and fired.
One shot struck the Russian On the back
Which he died a few hours later. A
second shot erazed Carne's forehead and,
as the latter leaped to his feet, the negro
closed in upon him and beat him on the
heao with thes butt of his gun, which
broke the stock of the weapon and the
sailor lay senseless.
Kitchen escaped The shooting is said
TO have. been faetuated by Kitchens jeal,
ously of his pegro wife.

TO DRIVE CERVERA OUT.
Insurgents Suggest Use Of Heavy
Artillery.

New York, May 25.-With Commodore
Sohley aud Admiral Sampson guarding
the entrance to the harbor OF Santiago de
Cuba. the Cuban Junta believes that the
entrapping of Admiral Cervera will
necessitate the sending to Cuba of heavy
artillery. This, Mr.. Rubens, legal ad.
wiser of the Junta, said today will have to
be conveyed to and planted in the hills
behind Santiago, from which vantage
point Admiral Cervera will be forced in
to sea battle on the outside.
Should Ceryera be forced into an en-
counter on sea outside the port with
Commodore Schley or Admiral Sampson,
the guns on the Notifications, Mr.. Rubens
asserted would practically be of no assist
ance to the Spanish commander as they
are trained only for harbor protection.

Dewey's fleet. 1t is not probable any

the other transports are in port. The
China is due here May 2S. and if the
steamships of the Northern Pacific COM
pany are chartered and put under an
American register, it will take some time
before that fleet can be put in order. 1t
is thought here the feet that lsft today
will not keep company with the Charles

carry enough coal to steam ct full speed
from Honolulu to Manila, while the
Charleston in order to economize coal will

CHARTS OF ATLANTIC COAST.
Incriminating Evidence Found On Alleged
Spy Jiminez.

Key West, May 26.-The investigation
of the case Of the suspected Spanish spy
Remigro Zapotero Jiminez, passenger
on the prize steamer Panama, was con-
tinued today by the federal authorities
and brought out some new facts. While
the suspicion involving the whole affair
hasiincreased. positive evidence sufficient
to warrant conviction is still lacking.
ASsearoh of Jiminez's effects revealed
cipher letter, which turned out to be
the key of SO charts of the Atlantic coast
from Maine to Florida. particular min
uteness being shown as to the vicinity of
Norfolk, New York, Boston and Provi-
dence harbors and the inlets around
Tampa All the Florida Keys and the
Tortugas are also explained in detail
The bill for these charts is made out in
the name of M. Ra2urata. Under exami-
nation Jiminez at first asserted that he
had shipped them to Rapurta at some
south American point on April is, but
later he contradicted himself and eyentu-
ally declared that he had sold them
from the United States naval com mission
at New York. Other papers found on
hiu apparently verify his showing that
York firm on April 10, for $27. 25 and
sold them to the naval commission for
$50. A rigorous search failed to locate
the charts. Jiminez swears that he was
an engineer in the Spanish navy in
Cuban waters, but ran away in 1890,
since which time he has lived in New
York in No. n Fourth avenue. An old
sword and pair of new epauletts found
in his trunk, he said, were a part of his
equipment
Passengers on the Panama say they
recognize Jiminez as lieutenant of the
Spanish navy. Letters from a nephew
and other relatives seem to fix his name
as given. The officials are inclined to
the peiier that Others on the Panama are
associated with Jiminez in whatever
scheme he may be engineering and for
this reason the prisoner was taken off
he steamer today and placed under guard
on o fishing smack as q prisoner of war.
Several persons claimed TO recognize
in the suspect, Lieut. Sobral, former
naval attache of the Spanish legation in
Washington, but there is nothing to war
rant such a theory.
The United States court today entered
a decree of pro confesso in the cases OF
the schooner Espana and the barkentine
Lorenzo which makes them legitmats

ships or cargo have been made Jhe
cases of the steamer Guido and Pedro

msnt. but there was always chance tnat
she might suffer from accident or hos!lle
attack in the short distance remaining
on her homeward journey.
Ever since the determination was
reached to invade Cuba before the dry
season next fall, there have been pup
lished intimations that the delay in be-
ginning the invasion was attributable TO
the navy. In other words, the army had
long been prepared to start for Cuba, but
could not do 80 for lack of conveys and
ships to insure landing. 1t can be stated
on the highest authority that the impress
sion thus created is wholly unjust to the
navy and without warrant in fact.
There never has been a moment when
the navy was not prepared on instant
notice to aid the army in effecting land
ing in Cuba. Nor has the army been at
fault in this matter. 1t was at first pro-
posed to throw small force of men or
soldiers, about 1O, coo into Cubasimmedi-
ately, and allow the remainder of the
army of occupation to wait until next
fall before going over. There were various
reasons for abandoning this plan, such as
the discovery of the insufficient support
that could be rendered the army by the
insurgents and the fact was brought out
with appalling force that to delay the
campaign meant the absolute extermina-
tlon Of the starving reconcentrados
Ihere were beside international reasons
do dor making haste. These considerations
caused complete change in the army
Plans and that involved delay. 10 equin
1000 men in thirty days and put them
in condition to fight trained veteran
soldiers on their own soil was no small
undertaking. In the opinion of the
highest officers of the administration
there is no reasonable ground for the
criticism that there has been undue deIay
in beginning the military campaign.
It will probably be recommended that
contracts be made for supplying the
armor for the four battleships under CON
struction as follows: To the Carnegie
company, 1853 tons for the Illinois, and
1858 tons for the Wisconsin; Bethlehem,
1405 tons for the Illinois and 1868 tons for
the Alabama at $400 per ton.
