which permitted cruelties, exactions and
treatment that Americans were ignorant
and abhorrent Of.
The cry Of Remember the Maine" was
not the cause of the war, but poured upon
the elements that existed it crystallized
and made powerful the current of hostility
of principles that statesmen recognized
and foresaw. but the people would realize
later, as they saw the difference between
slavery and freedom which caused the
war of 81.
General Sickles said that history was
only repeat ting ITSELF that there was an ir-
reconcilable difference between the fruits
OF Spanish colonial despotism and Ameri-
can ideas Of self-government self-respect,
and the freedom of manhood; hence, the
inevitable reason, sooner or later-war-
and now 1t has come. He said we must
keep the Philippines. 1t was ground con-
secrated by American valor and the favor
of divine Providence. The Maine was
avenged at Manila. He looked to It as
the seed planted that should cause the
American people, through their represent
atives, to enact legislation that would re-
store to the American flag and the Ameri-
can ship the supremacy in the transporta-
ton and upbuilding of a country that IL
once had, when wooden ships were the
sole carriers and fighters.
'The war" he said, has solidified the
country. All our soldiers are now boys IN
blue. North and South are solid under the
flag. The Anglo-Saxon race is united for
humanity and civilization. 1t only re-
mains for statesmen and representatives
of the people in Congress to enact the
laws that will solidify the results of the
valor, the energy and the brain products

not repeated today, as was intended. The
work of tnstructing the volunteers in the
handling Of the fire arms will now begin.
A number Of rifle ranges will be established
at once and next week all the regiments
will be given target practice.
Capt. Rockwell of the ordnance depart
ment is doing his utmost to equip the
regiment with arms, ammunition, etc.,
and is proceeding as rapidly as possible.
He practically equipped five regiments
yesterday. and other regiments will be
equipped as fast as the shipments arrive
from the arsenals.
1t is now generally known that the first
Ohio cavalry will be sent to Tampa dur
ing the next few days. The regiment is
thoroughly equipped and has the new
Krag-Jorgenson rifles. The new rifles
were issued to this regiment on account
of strong probability of it's accompany
ing the regular cavalry to Cuba.
Speaking Of the press reports to the effect
that the War Department has ordered the
park to be put in condition for the enter
tainment of $4,000 troops all summer, Lieut.
Col. Richards said that no notice to that
effect had been received at Gen. Brooke's
headquarters. He added, however, that if
plete the Third and Sixth Corps as was the
original intention, there will be rs, 900 troops
here anyhow. COL Richards said, further
that If each Of these regiments is recruited
to its full strength there will be 90 900 troops
at the park when the Sixth Corps is COM
pleted.
There is now practically no complaint
anywhere in the big camp. The men are get
ting used to army rations and the supply of
water Is abundant.
Adjutant-General Arthur Macarthur left
Gen. Wade's headquarters last night for
San Francisco, where he will assume COM
mand Of brigade of troops for the Philip
pine Islands. He was recently made
gadier-General.
All the regiments are making strenuous
efforts to recruit to full strength in compli-
ance with orders issued few days ago. A
number of recruiting officers have been
sent out and are actively at work.

WHOLE STATE OF NICARAGUA
CLAIMED
Heirs of Jamaica Negro Think They
Own About Half Of Gen.
tral America

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, May 2S-Recent-
sive than the whole State of Nicaragua
have been made by Shepherds heirs, now
living at San Juan Del Norte, Nicaragua,
against Costa Rica and Nicaragua, in
GLIDING the route selected for an inter-
oceanic canal across Nicaragua.
The original claimant, Shepperd, now
dead, was negro or mulatto from Jamaica
and subject of the British crown. He
claimed that about 1888 he paid to a chief
of the Mosquito Indians on the east coast
of Nicaragua about $3.50 900 in gold for sew
eral millions acres of land in Nicaragua and
Costa Rica, and now the heirs declare that
they have the papers complete and want
either the land or its money value.
The historic facts about the Caribbean
Coast of Nicaragua and Costa Rica, with
the adjacent islands and their sovereignty
are:
(a) Christopher Columbus discovered
and claimed them for Spain In October 1902
(b) Spain retained sovereignty over them
until 1921 conquering all the tribes dnclud-
ing the Mosquito Indians) excepting the
Amerrique people, who held the central
aqua, where their small remnant yet re-
mains undisturbed
(c) In 1921 Spain transferred the SOW
ereignty to the Spansh-American people
in Nicaragua, Costa Rica and other Gem
their independence.
(d) In 1S4S Great Britain acknowledged
some one of the chiefs of the Mosquito In
4 1iay7 ty, fl,a IT.
ereign of an underlined territory in, or all
of Nicaragua. and declared herself protec-
tor of that King and his sovereignty. This
was one of Great Britains bold prelimin-
airy steps after her buccaneering efforts to
obtain control of the Isthmus of Nicaragua
and consequently of the route for an inte-
oceanic canal across that isthmus.
(e) In 1S4S Great Britain acknowledged
under pressure of the government of the
United States, made a treaty with Near
aqua conceding to the latter the sover-
eighty of the entire territory now held by
Nicaragua, and in article of that treaty
limited to 100 yards square the claim of any
foreigner to lands by purchase or other
wise from Indians in that territory. BY
articles and 10 she authorized the appoint
men, Of Commission to adjudicate all
such claims for lands in Nicaragua. The
Commission was duly appointed and ex-
hausted by its decisions the lists of lands
claimed that were presented to it, after
which the Commission was dissolved. The
Shepperd claim, if presented, was not recog-
niZed.
The Shepperd claimants overlook the fol-
lowing facts:
(a) That buccaneers and other English
pirates virtually controlled the littoral of
the eastern or Caribbean Sea coast of
Nicaragua, and not the Mosquito Indians.
(b) That the Amerriques from which
most probably the nameAmerica originated
were about that time (1S33) the most pow-

WILLIAMS ATTITUDE
One of Loyal, Complete and Strict
Neutrality

NCutA ally
WASHINGTON, June 4.-Ambassador
White has called the attention Of the State
Department to the following which ap-
peared in the North German Gazette of
recent date and which, on account Of its
semi-official character and the fact that
a copy of the paper containing 1t was sent
to the embassy by a member of the For
eign Office, which accentuates interest and
renders it especially satisfactory to this
country:
american and German papers have rec
emily reported that His Majesty, the EN-
peror in a conversation with the Ambas-
sador of the United States at Berlin is
said to have left the supposition that the
imperial government was animated by un-
friendly feelings toward America. AS we
are informed, no such conversation has
taken place, and consequently all reports
in regard to 1t are ina ginative. His Ma
jesty, the Emperor could have had little
reason for thinking 1t necessary to give the
assurance ascribed to him, because the
Americans could not be in doubt as to the
character of our strict, complete and loyal
neutrality after the repeated declarations
which have been made on that point since
the beginning of the war and especially
in a speech from the throne on the 9Th
inst. This is also to be said to those Eng
lish, French and Austrian papers which
have been endeavoring to show that the
government and public opinion of the Ger
man empire had taken sides against the
President and people of the United States.
Confidence should be felt in the imperial
policy which, without weighty reasons,
would not permit the friendly relations to
be disturbed which have existed for more
than hundred years with state In which
millions of German people have found a
second home"

LAST CABLE OCT
Cuba No. Longer Connected, With the
Outside World


| OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 2, 5
pm, PER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DISPATCH BOAT WANDA, via King
ston, Jamaica, June 4.-The last cable
| strands binding Cuba to the outside world
were cut this afternoon by cable vessel
conveyed here by the U. S. dispatch gun
boat Dolphin. This black sea crab delved
all day along the coast, hour by hour and
it's powerful claws at length brought up
the barnacle-c clustered cable strands and
snapped them and tonight Cuba is wholly
isolated.
The first cable picked up was that rum
ming to Kingston 1t was found early this
morning. The coast loop connecting San
tiago and Guantanamo was then cut. Pro-
ceedng to Guantanamo the cable vessel
finally grappled and severed the Haytien
cable.
This ends the cable-cutting opera tons
begun q month ago. when the Marblehead
and Window lost five men in a fight off
Cienfuegos, where three cables were Grip
pied and several hundred Spaniards were
killed by shells from the warships After
wards, the st. Louis and the Wampatuck
cut the San Juan de Porto Rican cable at
Santiago. The strands cut today were the
only ones remaining, except a few coast
loops, and these will probably be severed
in a short time.
The cutting Of these cables is almost
as serious for the Spaniards in coast towns
as the cutting of foreign cables, the land
wires connecting the coast towns being
wholly at the mercy Of the insurgents.
Therefore, in the event Of American troops
landing in Cuba the absence of the coast
loops will seriously interfere with the
hasty mobilization of the Spanish troops.
The United States and Hayti Cable Com
pany and the Commercial Cable Company
have not been notified of any interruption
of the service and they are still accepting
messages this morning for Cuba.

SICKLES ON SPAIN
War the Outgrowth of Centuries Of
Cruelty

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, June 4.-Gen,
Daniel Sickles last night delivered a lec-
ture before the students of Union College.
His subject was "Spain," to which coun-
try he was formerly a United States Min
lister. He sought to explain in connection
with the topic of Spain, the origin and
causes of the present war, which he said
had been imminent and inevitable for more
than quarter of a century.
Causes he said, had, however, exist cd
much longer, growing out of the different
factors arising in the relative Civilizations
and governments produced from the two
systems-one of Independent self-govern-
ment, growing out of the people as the
foundation base; the other, the residuum
OF government resting on the basis Of
ancient despotism and monarchical system
