Ths impression prevails that the Buena

khe Panama, whose seizure was report

ing to the fact that, while otherwise
exempt, the ship was reported to have
eontained supplies for the SPANISH
army in Cuba, which are contraband.
However, 1t may be said that while
the settlement of these questions will

believes the greatest liberality should
be shown III the application of the laws
where vessel Is not conlraband or at
tempting to run the blockade. That is
bhown in the liberal terms of the proc

courts must be guided. 1t is noted also
fhat the administration has not been
Gsterred by any criticism in congress
from formally pledgtng itself to the

vices are especially needed at this time
in his present capacity, saying it would
be extremely difficult, if not impossible,
to fill his place.
The greatest anxiety was shown at
the navy department for news from
the blockading squadron. Notwith-
standing the frequent reports that
came from two unofficial sources of en-
gagements between the fleet and the
shore batteries, no word Of conflrma-
ton came officially. The three prizes
reported yesterday to have been seized
by the fleet were not referred to in the
official dispatches. but the press reports
Of the seizures were received with the
greatest satisfaction by the officers of
the department. who in some cases did
not hesitate to declare their envy Of
their more fortunate brother officers
with the fleet.
Among the orders issued yesterday
was one directing Captain A. P. Ma
han. the author and well known au-
thority in naval tactics, to report for
duty at the navy department. Captain
Mahan Is a retired officer, and will be
assigned position on the strategy
board. Probably he will replace Ad-
miral Walker, for whom the president
and Secretary Long cherish the high
est regard on account of his profess
sional ability, and who is to be assign
ed to duty Of the highest importance
in the immediate future. More than
dozen retired officers were called into
the service Ey Secretary Long yester-
day.
Upon the recommendation of Captain
Lemly, Judge advocate general, Secra-
tary Long yesterday directed the re-
lease from Boston naval prison of %
sailors. The men have been in prison
for various infractions of military law,
and the department believes that con-
ditions warrant their restoration to ac-
tive service.

With the Insurgent General,
Calixt0 Garcin,

Calixto Garcin.
Kingston, Jamaica, April 27.-First
Lieutenant Andrew 8. Rowan, of the
Nineteenth United States infantry,
under orders from the war department,
was landed on the Cuban coast some-
where west Of Santiago, probably. be-
fore dawn on Monday. His Cuban
guide. and an open sailboat were used.

Lieutenant Rowan is~on his way to
the camp of General Calixto Garcia.
He will represent the war department
In arranging for the cooperation Of the
insurgents In the invasion Of eastern
Cuba by the forces Of the United
States. The time and place Of invasion
will be controlled by events and the
character of Lieutenant Rowan's dis
patches.
Lieutenant Rowan was detailed from
the bureau of information for this
dangerous service-dangerous because
In his civilian dress he is liable to be
treated as a spy. He speaks Spanish
and knows Cuba, having written a
book on the subject Moreover. he is
an expert map maker.
Lieutenant Rowan left Washington
under instant orders on April 9. He
was directed to wait here, prepared to
60 to Porto Rico or Cuba. AS he went
to eastern Cuba 1t Is inferred that a
blow will be struck there before one Is
struck at Porto Rico.
With him he took an official Spanish
section map Of eastern Cuba, with
emendations made by the war depart.
ment photographers. The expectation
Is that General Calixto Garcia will dis
pose Of his forces to cover a landing
of United States troops as prearranged.
A courier with Lieutenant Rowan's
first dispatches to the war department
will probably leave General Garcia's
camp next week.

Increasing Marine Insurance Rates.

Increas Ing Marine Insurance Rates.
New York, April 27-Marine insur-
ance rates took another jump yester-
day. British companies have increased
the rates on American bottoms so per
cent. They now charge a premium of
10la per cent for long voyages, and in
some cases as high as per cent for
transatlantic voyages. This advance in
the rates is said to have been made on
account of the uncertain position of
the Spanish navy and of the fact of
Spanish privateers having been re.
ported on the coast of Great Britain.

Demand For Bombardment Insurance

New York. April 27.-The demand for
bombardment insurance is the most IN
teresting effect of the war scare thus
far observed by local underwriters. Re-
quests for such indemnity are received
daily in this city from many import
ant coast towns, and heavy risks upon
exposed property have already been ne
gotiated at a fair rate. considering the
hazard involved Single risks for as
much as 100000 have been applied for
in this city. Five-eighths of 1 per cent
is asked in some instances, the tenden-
cy favoring higher rates for southern
than northern ports.

tice was continued by the flagship. The
remarkable Workmanship Of the men
