CERVERA BOTTLED IIP.

Copyright 1898 by Associated Press.)
Key West Fla. May 3S.--G p. M
Admiral Cervera is imprisoned at san
lingo de Cuba. Advices to this effect
were brought here this afternoon by an
auxiliary gunboat which arrived from
Cienfuegos, presumably with dispatches
for Washington. Last Sunday the Scor-
pion left Cienfuegos and proceeded to the
eastward on scout dntv, going as far as
Santiago de Cuba. Rive Of the auxiliary
ships were then lying off there. appar-
entity awaiting the arrival of the main
division of the squadron. After an un-
eventful trip the Scorpion returned TO
Cienfuegos, but found that Commodore
Schley had gone. having left orders for
her to return 10 Key West The officers
of the gunboat, when questioned as ID
Admiral Cerveras whereabouts. ex.
pressed no doubts Of his presence at
Santiago de Cuba.
All was reported quiet along the south
coast of Cuba up to the time of her de-
parture; and nothing was known of the
Marblehead's rumored attack on Glen
fuegos' blockhouses.

thing centered in the news from Com
modore Schley, and disappointment was
visible in every face when it became
generally known that the commodore
was mistaken in thinking he has Ger
vera bottled up at Cienfuegos, but this
feeling soon gave way to renewed enthu-
siasm when news was received from San
tiagO de Cuba. This really was more
acceptable than the reports from Glen
fuegos, for had Admiral Cervera sue
ceeded in effecting a landing at Glen
fuegos he would most likely have been
able to transport his alleged cargo Of
arms and ammunition to Havana. while
from Santiago de Cuba it will be almost
impossible for him to do so.
The sharpest kind of a lookout was
kept. On Thursday and Friday the
squadron's cruise was made in better
weather than during the first part Of
the week. The moon, too, lighted the
work of peering after the Spaniards, and
a chase last night was the only event
worth recording
The New York had left the feet far
behind and was speeding toward Key
West with the Vesuyius as consort As
the sun was going down Il sail was
sighted. With foam swishing from her
bow, the flagship steamed toward the
strange sail.
She was rapidly oyertaken and proved
TO be the bark Varonica Arundel, Nor
way, from Apalachicola to Queenstown,
with lumber. The vessel was not de-
tanned.
All advices coming in from the south
coast of Cuba show conclusivelv that
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba has been
patrolled with a vigilance equal to that
shown by the blockading squadron since
the Spanish announced that Admiral
Cervera's fleet was there, and it is inn
possible that he should have escaped.

which arrived tonight. reports that
Schley was moving thence to the east
ward, when she left Tuesday night, and
all were convinced that Commodore
Schley now has the enemy hemmed in
and only awaits favorable opportunity
to give him battle The latest arrival
declares also that the report Of an attack
by the Marblehead on the Cienfuegos
batteries in concert with a rear invasion
by the insurgents, is absolutely without
foundation.

a GREAT SHIPMENT.

There arrived IN Kansas City this p.
m. over the Chicago, Milwaukee, & st.
Paul railroad one of the largest train
load of cultiVatOrs ever hauled into
Kansas City This train load consist
ed of twenty six large Milwaukee furn-
iture cars loaded with the Famous
Ohio Sulky Cultiyators" from the fac
toly of the Ohio Cultlvator Company.
Bellevue, Ohio. The special train left
the factory at Bellevue on Monday,
Feb. IA, and came through on a day
light schedule, and will leave Kansas
City. Monday morning at a. N. for
Newton, Kansas, over the Santa Fe by
way of Topeka, running that far solid
train, and will be distributed to the
different branches of the Santa Fe at
that point. The train will stop at all
large towns along the route and will be
in charge of Mr.. q. A. Plank, manager
of the company at this point. He will
be assisted by H. n. Miller, travelling
salesman for the company.
In an interview with Mr.. Plank we
learn that this is the first train load of
cultiyators eyer shipped by manufac-
turer of cultivators alone. and that the
train load contains almost 2,00U Fam
Gus Ohio Riding Cultivators," enough
eultiuators to cultivate 1900 acres of
cOrn. Mr.. Plank also states that the
Famous Ohio Cultivator" is being Im-
itated by almost all manufacturers of
cultivators, there being 81 limitations
built at the present time. This certain
ly shows the popularity of the Famous
Ohio" and We should not think from
this large shipment that the limitations
of their cultiratOr cut much figure.
Mr.. Plank took charge of the Ohio
CultivatOr COmpany's business at this
place October l, 1892, and at shat time
there was no riding cultivator trade,
but by placing a sample cultivator or
two with the best agents in each town,
he has succeeded in the few years in
building up trade for sulky cultiva-
tors never dreamed of by other imple-
ment men.
In addition to this large single ship
ment of nearly two thousand Famous
Ohio CultivatorS" to the southwest, a
large number of cars will be dlstribut-
ed direct into other sections of Kansas,
Missouri and Oklahoma. The company
have also put in the la rgest stock of
cultivators into Kansas City that they
have ever shipped to any point to be
distributed to their forwarding agents,
the Rhodes Barclay Co., 1907, west 10th
street.
The number to be shipped by the for
warding agents always exceeds the
number shipped direct
1t Is evident from the above that this
company must practically control the
riding cultivator trade of this vast and
unboundless territory. Kansas City
World, Saturday, Feb. 10Th.
Chase Hardware Company received

THE BUTTON FAD.

The photo button fad has become a.
craze in the larger cities of the East,
and it is gradually extending over the
entire country. 1t is miniature pho
tograph on button or PIN. Wherev-
er one may go he sees evidence of the
fad Pictures of fathers, mothers,
sisters, brothers, husbands, wives,
children, friends and sweethearts are
worn by people everywhere, and they
are constantly adding collections from
friends by exchange and otherwise.
The fad promises to become perma-
nent as the buttons and pins are both
useful and ornamental They are made
with covering of celluloid which gives
them a fine appearance and makes it
an impossibility to soil or deface the
picture. These novel photo buttons
are invaluable both as pictures and
keepsakes. They can be made from any
picture. See F. A. Withers and get
