Key West, Fla. April 29.--To- day was
one of wild rumor and little action.
First came the story of the lombard

denly developed from nowhere and
they developed Justify. acquiring an
elaborate finish OF detail and ornamen-

into port. and Captain Harrington. the
commanding officer of the Cardenas
fleet, gave the story its quietus by
firm declaration that there had been no
bombardment of the Cardenas batteries.
incidentally adding that there were no
batteries there and only one or two
insignificant gunboats which had given
no sign of offense.
The Puritan was hardly In port. to
which she came for coal, when another
picturesque story appeared. This was
that a Spaniard was in the crew Of the
monitor and had been detected with a
bunch OF skeleton keys attempting to
pick the lock of one of the powder mag
azines with intent to blow up the ship.
This was industriously spread by the
Puritan's patriotic crew. who knew
only a few of the facts and this, too.

the highest officers Of the ship.
The chief incident of the day was
the safe arrival OF the troop ship Pan

ammunition for the fleet and the An

GERMAN-A AMERICANS.
An Appeal to Them to Rally Around the

peclal Dispatch TO the Standard.

Special Dispatch TO the Standard
Great Falls, April 29.-Wildemar
Stein, editor of the Montana Herald of
this city. has issued the following ad-
dress to the German Americans of the
city. AS he is the state president of
the Sons of Herman, and also national
vice president, the appeal has more
than usual significance. IL reads thus:
Communications, rally around
the flag of your adopted country, The
bugle has sounded. All of you know
what this means and what IL means at
this moment. IL means war with Spain.
war with country which left bloody
trail in its path for generations back
in the endeavor to make its subjects
submit to the oppressive yoke that it's
crowned despots chose To burden them
with war with the country the service
able tools of which stopped to the
treacherous and cowardy act to blow
up one of our ships with its precious
burden of gallant sailors.
Revenge, On to Cuba is the
watchword: Remember the Maine!' the
war cry. Every loyal citizen rises in
Indignation over the insult offered to
the flag of this country. Every Ger
man American has the honor Of his
adopted fatherland at heart and will
defend it with the same ardor and en-
thusiasm as he defended and fought for
the honor of his native country 2S years
ago.
"Countrymen, you are Americans to-
day The insult to the flag of the
United States Is an insult to every one
of you. 1t must arouse the war spirit
of your ancestors and make the blood
boil in your veins. Remember the
Maine. and rally around the flag of
your adopted fatherland. that the stars
and stripes may float in the breeze as
spotless from any blemish as the pure
character of the sweet, innocent virgin.
Although we are not yet called upon or
by necessity compelled to take up arms,
nevertheless the opportunity offers it
self to show our loyalty and patriot
ism. Our militia has been called out
they will depart for the seat of war in
very few days. Our citizens have
concluded to bid them farewell and God
speed on their patriotic mission. Let us
take part in this demonstration and
show ourselves true citizens Of this
great republic.

Sunday afternoon at o'clock at Judge
Burleigh's office, Phelps block, to make
the necessary arrangements. Every
is invited to attend"

the intention of the department to con-

NO TRUTH IN IT.
All Talk About n Traitor on the Puritan
IL Absurd.

All Talk ABOUT Traitor on the Puritan
Is Absurd.
Key West, April 29.-There Is abso-
lutely no foundation for the sensational
reports cabled from here that a case
of treason has been discovered on
board the United States monitor Puri
tan. The rumors arose from the
strange actions of a fireman with a
Spanish-sounding name. now under re-
straint on the warship because of his
eccentricities. The officers of the
Puritan declare there is no thought of
trying the man by court martial and
that all the talk about treason Is alb
surd.
IL appears that a few days ago the
man in question was seen in one of
the monitors turrets. and the man
who saw him reported that he had his
hand on the lock of the magazine.
whereupon the fireman was placed un-
der restraint. The crew of the moni-
was a Spanish spy on board. Through
this the extravagant stories were cir
culated.
the man Is a Cuban and they assume
positively that he has never given any
evidence of sympathy with Spain. but
they add that when the Puritan was
off MatanZas he was frequently heard
to say that he would like to get ashore
and join the insurgents. The action of
the officers of the monitor in placing
the man under restraint was guided
solely by the danger of allowing an
unevenly balanced man to be at large.

There was no accommodation for them
on board the Remus. and therefore they
were compelled to lie on deck all night
and they had nothing to eat, as the
steamer was not provisioned for so
many people. The refugees not having
had any breakfast, were very hungry
when they arrived. and were worn out
by their comfortless night at sea. One

SPANISH FLEET SAILS.
1t Is Expected Ihat They Will Touch n,
the Caparies.


Washington. April 29.-The navy de-
partment received news of the sailing
from st. Vincent. Cape Verde, of the
Spanish fleet, and when the informa-
tion came that Portugal had at last
proclaimed neutrality. there were many
expressions OF satisfaction among the
officials. The statement that the ves-
sells. when leaving st. Vincent. were
headed in a southerly direction is
valueless as an indication of the real
course of the fleet. The majority of
the naval officers here feel confident
that the Spanish fleet will next appear
at the Canary islands, about half way
between Cape Verde and Spain. and
lying directly in the homeward path
of the ships. AS the Canaries are
Spanish islands and possess some for
tifications worthy of consideration, 1t
may be that the feet will be allowed
to remain there for some time, as the
islands form a good strategic base.
