New York, April 25-Letters OF marque

here that they soon will be, says the
Madrld correspondent OF the Herald.
This step has been contemplated ever
since the possibility Of war became aB-
parent The decree officially announcing
the governments decision appears in this
mornings Gaceta, which says in accord
ance with its undoubted right, the SER
vice of auxiliary cruisers Is about to be
added TO the naval force Of the country.
This auxiliary service is composed OF
vessels drawn from the merchant marine.
The decision is hailed with satisfaction
By the popuace in Spanish ports and
coast towns. II Is estimated, 1t is diff-
cult to say on what grounds. that in a
very brief time between 1900 and 1000 cor
sairS can be equipped ready for securing
the seas in search of contraband of war
destined for the United States. There is
great deal Of talk about keeping a sharp
lookout for yachts belonging to Ameri-
can millionaires which, as the impartial
ingenuously says. would be worth captur-
ing, as those In the Mediterranean alone
at the present time represent the value
of many millions. Specially singled out
are the Valiant, Margarita, Sultana,
Nahma and Arcturus. Swift vessels be-
longing to the Spanish navy are to cruise
about the straits of Gibraltar, the Suez

THE CA. IS CUT.

New York, April 25.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Tampa says;
The United States has cut the Ha-
vana cable. The cut was made about
ten miles out OF Havana and the south
ern end OF the cable is now on the
Mangrove. which was recently converted
into an auxiliary cruiser. This gives the
government exclusive use OF the cable
and entirely cuts Captain General Blan-
co OF from communication with Spain as
the insurgents are between him and the
other cable ports. II is intended as
soon as the blockade OF Cienfuegos Is
established. TO cut the cable between
that point and Jamaica. thus entirely
severlng telegraphic communication be-
tween Cuba and the outside world. ex-
cept such matter as Is sent through the
United States censorship. This censor
ship has already been rigidly established
at Key West. II is said the censorship
will be extended to Punta Gordo.
orders have been issued by the navy
department to prevent the newspaper
boats from following the feet thus doubl-
ing the difficulty OF obtaining accurate
information as well as greatly delaying
II.
The officers and crew OF the captured
ship Buena Ventura have been given
their liberty, after a consultation OF
navy and army officers in Key West The
captain and purser, as well as the crew,
were compelled TO shovel coal into the
Helena, Notwithstanding their strenuous
objections. They were not held as pris-
oners of war, because they were captured
on the high seas before war had been
formally declared.

will be taken to Key West. except the
Saturnina, which was seized at Ship is
land, Mississippi The steamers Panama
from New York, and the Alfonso XIII
from Spain, both bound for Cuba, are
likely to be captured by American war
ships within a few days. Spain has made
no seizures as far as known. In the
beginning of the war the only move
ment of the Spanish navy reported is the
departure of the torpedo boat destroyer
Audaz from Queenstown for Spain, her
departure being compelled by the English
neutrality proclamation For the same
reason the United States Asiatic squad.

lengthy than the one To Captain Stgsbee,
II is most dcferential-even courtly in
