from the Republicans, in view of what
they were detected in doing. Everyone

to promise protection to the men who were

Republicans know that voters know they
were caught in crooked work that they
are shouting fraud. They may shout all
they wish My proposition for a recount
stands open for acceptance. Perhaps they
think something was wrong in the sixth
Ward where Mark Fallon won by such an
astonishing majority hope those boxes
will be opened They will show that ne

Then, again, perhaps they know tnat
something went wrong in the Eighth
Ward. The vote was a strange one,
that's true, but when one considers what
a hotbed of Republieanism it is perhaps
there should not be any surprise, no mat
ter what happened.
The Republican Ninth ward seems to
have done funny things also. Perhaps
the Republicans think crooked work was
done there. If there was they know who
did it and when it was done Nothing
would please me more than recount.
Now. il the Republicans are satished
that there is something wrong with the
vote certainly they will have no difficulty
in raising sufficient money to conduct
recount. I would not think the Repub-
licans could find much consolation for
their defeat in the cry that the voting
was not regular. The secret of the whole
thing is that Repuhiicanism is stencil
in the nostriis of the people here. fhe

we did this time. / hope to see recount

A Naval Battle Already Thought to
Have Taken Place.

NEW YORK, April 30.--A dispatch to
the World from Singapore says: The
naval battle between the United States
and Spanish fleets may have been
fought off the Philippine Islands. it is
thought here.
The deepest interest in the result of
it is felt in this British colony.
Admiral Montejo, the Spanish COM
mander, has only three effective fight
ing ships among the large number un-
der his command These are the sin
gle-screw second class cruiser Reina
Christina, of 5000 tons. and the single
screw third-class unprotected cruisers
Don Antonio de Ulloa and Don Juan
de Austria, of 1,150 tons each. The
rest of the fleet will be of little fighting
value while in combat with the modern
vessels of the United States squadron
The truth regarding the battle is not
likely to be known until Commodore
Dewey, the American commander, gets
control of the cables at the Philippine
Islands. All telegraph messages from
there now are vigilantly watched and
vigorously censored by the Spanish Off
Gals.
Commodore Dewey has with him on
the flagship Olympia for consultation
a former Philippine rebel General, Jose
AIexandfino. This officer is the son of
a wealthy and influential sugar planter
of Arayal Pampanga Province. The
father was taken from his estate by
the Spanish and deported because he
had been denounced by the priests as Il
rebel He died from the exposure and
privations to which he was subjected

on the road, having been compelled to
travel while he was critically i'll.
General Alexandrino was educated in
Belgium as a civil engineer, and took a
leading part in the late rebellion. He
will be of great assistance to the Com
modore. Moreover, the knowledge that
he is with the American squadron will
encourage the natives ashore to revolt.
General Aguinaldo, the head of the
insurrection, whose name is talisman
among the natives, will take an active
part himself soon in organizing and
directing military operations on the ISL
ands. His efforts will tell in aiding
the American commanders operations
at sea and in liberating the Philippines
from Spanish misrule 1t would be pre-
mature for me to tell at this time what
his plans are for future movements and
action in the war.
General Aguinaldo had a private con-
fidential interview a short time ago
with the editor of the Singapore Free
Press in the office of that journal. His
disappearance from Hongkong having
been reported to the Spanish Consul
here, efforts amounting to political es-
pionage were made to discover the
presence and plans of the Philippine
refugee, if in Singapore The local Ma
lay police were employed secretly for
this purpose, but the exposure of the
Consuls action in the Free Press"
called the attention of the Governor,
Sir Charles Mitchell, to the improper
influence brought to bear on the police.
This will not occur again.

THE CABANAS AFFAIR.
Full Details as Given by a Witness
on Board the Flagship.

ON BOARD THE FLAGSHIP NEW
YORK, April %, II a m. (via Key
West, April O.-(Copyrighted, 1898,
by the Associated Press).-The full de-
tails of the Cabanas affair are that the
New York was lying quietly outside the
picturesque harbor of Cabanas about
two miles off shore, an inspection trip
of the coast having just been COM
pleted The flagship was accompanied
by the torpedo boats Porter and Ericc-
son. A return to the station off MORO
Castle, Havana, was contemplated, and
the band was playing it's usual dinner
music. when. from a hill to the east
ward of Cabanas harbor, came the
sound of volley firing. 1t was plainly
a small arms attack, though no smoke
was seen The enemy was thought to
be hidden close to the beach, and in
front of a ruined white building, which
sloped as if it once had been the
hacienda of a tobacco plantation. Now
and again individual firing was heard,
and well-regulated volleys continued at
intervals 1t was conjectured that one
troop of cavalry, dismounted, was doing
the firing.
The officers of the flagship stood on
her deck trying to ascertain definitely
the exact location of the enemy, more
amused than annoyed at this novel
method of attacking an armored cruis-
err. However, Rear-Admiral Sampson
and Captain Chadwick decided that the
lesson taught at MatanZas must be
taught again at Cabanas.

DEWEY'S FLEET.
Would Have a Difficult Task in
Capturing Manila.


HONGKONG, April 30.-(2:30 p. n.y.
The British steamer Meanon, which
has just arrived here from Manila, re-
ports having seen the Spanish fleet
cruising outside of Manila She also
met the British steamer Esmeralda,
chartered by the banking companies of
this place, which is on her way to Ma
Mia to take on board the specie there
She did not see any vessels of the
United States fleet. The latter is sup
posed to be close in shore, trying to
communicate with the insurgents pre-
paratory to continuing on to Manila.
If the reports which are current here
are correct, the United States fleet has
difficult task to accomplish. 1t is
said that the entrance of Manila Bay
is commanded by from fifty to sixty
heavy guns, well placed, and it is add
ed that it will be impossible for the
American warships to enter the bay
without battleships, or without the CO.
operation of a strong land force. There
fore, it is believed Commodore Dewey
will not attempt to force an entrance
into the harbor, but will blockade it
until the insurgents move on Manila.
Agents of the insurgents here are
trying to charter steamer, in expecta-
ton of being able to transport force
of insurgents to the vicinity of Manila
and capture the strong fortress of Cav
iet inside Manila Bay.
The cable to Manila is still intact,
but the transmission of news regard
ing military movements in the Philip
pines is barred.
The British warships and torpedo
boats at Hongkong have been forbidden
to commence fresh repairs, which would
seem to indicate the possibility of a
movement in the near future upon the
part of the British fleet.

ATLANTA (Ga), April 30.-A special
to the Journal from Key West says:
Fort Cabanas, a, small fortified town
thirty-five miles west of Havana, on
the northern coast of Cuba, was fired
upon Friday evening and somewhat
demolished. The fire began at 6:3O
and lasted fifteen minutes. Then shots
We're fired from the New York's bat
teries. The New York and Helena
tried to draw the fire from the batter
les of Havana and Muriel, but failed.
About noon the New York steamed
up the west coast. Following the flag
ship for quite a distance came the
Iowa, Indiana, Helena and torpedo
boats Porter and Ericsson, but after
Havana was passed, where the Helena
went in so close that a crash gun from
MORO was momentarily expected, the
ships, with the exception of the tor
pedo boats, soon returned to their sta
ton
Under full head of steam the flag
ship bowled along until Muriel was
reached. 1t was easy, from aboard the
dispatch boat, without glasses to see
the connection raised by the presence
Of the warships in the pretty little viii
lage. The people rushed about wildly
and small boats quickly put in shore.
But there was no apparent life in either
of the forts on the two hills that cover
the approaches to the harbor. The Por-
ter steamed within half mile of them
and the New York swung leisurely at
Eanchor at mile range.
After Admiral Sampson had surveyed
Muriel to his apparent satisfaction, he
sent the flagship clipping merrily fur
Their up the coast. Again the flagship
rode unconsciously half mile from the
forts, and the Porter and Ericsson
pushed their way ahead. Suddenly
there was a roar of a heavy gun, a
puff of smoke from the shore. and the
little torpedo boat came scurrying back
under the lee of the flagship.
The officers and men disappeared
from the decks of the New York like
magic, and in less time than it takes
to tell it, one six-inch gun from her bow
belched forth. The evening was fad
ing fast. Quick, good work was neces-
sary. Another shot from the flagship,
one more from the shore, and the forts
guns We're silenced. Three six-inch
shells had sufficed. Five more shots
put a quietus on the Notifications.
The first shot was fired at $40. At
6:35 the New York let go two six-inch
shells at the Notifications. There was
no answer from the shore. Ten min
utes later the flagship let go two of her
eight-ineh turret guns, and the shrek
ing shells left a trail of fire easily seen
in the dark shadows of the evening
At this time the shore was hardly Wis
ible, and the New York put back TO
her station.

LOYAL JEWS.
Demonstrate Their Patriotism For
the Cause of the United States.

CHICAGO, April 30-Three thousand
Jewish residents of Chicago to-day took
part in probably the most unique dem
onstration of patriotism in the United
States since the war with Spain began.
In the language of the most ancient of
nations, and according to the forms of
the religion of Moses, prayers were Of
fered in the Jewish Tabernacle of Anshe
Knesseth Israel for the protection and
guidance of President Mckinley, for
the success of our army in the war with
Spain, and the continued welfare and
prosperity of the United States Gov
eminent.
Rev. Israel Kupfer, the Rabbi of the
congregation, conducted the services,
which took the place of the principal
Sabbath celebration. A large number
of those in attendance are still unac-
quainted with the English language,
being chiefly Russian refugees. The
men had their shoulders draped with
the regulation scarf and gown prescrib-
ed by the religious rites.
William Zolotokoff delivered the prin-
cipal address. He declared it was a
peculiar and providential happening
that in a land of liberty the Jews as
sembed as respected citizens of great
nation to pray for the success of the
armies of their country as against the
army of a nation that had prosecuted
and oppressed their ancestors.
THE persecution of the jew" he said,
was the beginning of the decline of
Spain. To-day Spain is tottering to
extinction, while the people she sought
to destroy are hopeful and strong, The
Jew who enjoys the freedom of this
country is willing to give his life to
the end that freedom to the possess
sions Of Spain in this hemisphere be at
tanned. and he will rejoice in the down
fall of the nation that once drove his
people from her shores"

Then hunger to the pious man drew nigh
And loudly clamored to be satisfied.
Abdallah's wife still prayed. No food was

The good mans soul was vexed. "'Iix
