While the new location of the band
stand Is being discussed a local bust
ness man says that he would like to
suggest that the heater piece at the
top of Rines hin. between Grove and
Green streets. be the location de-
cided upon. He says that the lawns in
that vicinity are well walled, so that
the residents will have no cause to
complain Of people trampNng upon
their lawns. He further adds that the
city owns this piece Of land and that as
1t Is not now In use the expense of
changing the location Of the band stand
would be very slight, indeed.

that until short time ago he agreed
with public opinion that the English
sparrow was nuisance and was capa-
BILE of doing no good whatever. The
cause of his change Of mind and heart

ing what farmers call cabbage mil
lers. This miller causes great
trouble in field Of cabbages. and, he
thinks that the only bird that will
catch them is entitled to respect.

Terror Reported Sunk.

Copyright. 1898. by the Associated Press)
KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 5,
/ p. ma dispatch from Port An
tonic says: "a vessel that has ar
rived here from Santiago de Cuba
reports that the Americans sunk
on Friday night the Spanish tor
pedo-boat destroyer Terror"
The assumption, based on dis
patches from Madrid, has been
that the destroyer Terror, after
leaving Fort de France, went to
Porto Rico waters, and it is prob
able that the Port Antonio dis
patch confuses her with her sister
destroyer, the Furor, as has sew
eral times been the case in dis
patches from other points.

PERvERsE SPANISH JOY.
GiOrying Over Santiago Affair and
SampsOn,a Rennrf RidicnIed

LONDON, June 6.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Telegraph, concern
ing the enthusiasm over the Merrimac af-
fair, says Lieut.. Gen. Correa, minister of
war, on learning that the contents of the
officlal telegram excited great enthusiasm
in the Cortes, remarked that it was unde-
sirable for the country to excite itself over
matters which were relatively small in COM
parison with those the war might yet bring
forth, lest it suffer disappointment If the
fortune of war should prove adverse But,
despite this warning, the rejoicing con-
tinued.
Ell Heraldo, pointing out that the United
States is utterly unprepared for war"
says: Admiral Dewey, who fancied that
he could seize Manila whenever ne wished, !,
has not succeeded in getting beyond the ar
senal at Cavite island. Cuba continues in
accessible to the Americans enose formida-
BILE squadrons retreat from the mediocre
guns of our battery, and, Admiral Cervera's
fleet having led them a wild-goose chase on
the sea, has now routed and repulsed them
at Santiago"
The papers unanimously treat the affair
as a signal victory, and the enthusiastic
manifestations it has provoked throughout
Spain prove that the view prevails in the
peninsula generally.
Admiral SIMPSONS version is regarded as
a pure invention. Ell Liberal calls him ''the
mendacious admiral" and adds that "even
in Washington his stories will not find Gre
dence." According to dispatch from SAINT
iago the Spaniards have already destroyed
the hull of the Merrimac.
Dispatches from Havana describe wild en-
thusiasm there on the reception of the news
from Santiago At the principal theater the
play was stopped and the telegram read to
the audience, after which the streets were
filled with patriotic crowds, who kept up
the rejoicing the greater part of the night

More Spanish Fleets.

CAPE HAITIEN, Haiti, June ,5.-The
steamer ST. Simon, which arrived here this
morning from Havre, reports that one
Spanish cruiser and two or three Spanish
torpedo boats were at San Juan de Porto
Rico on Friday at noon. She saw no war
ships elsewhere.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, June Sit is under
stood that the vessels which the steamer
St. Simon reports having seen last Friday
at San Juan de Porto Rico were only
small gunboat and one torpedo boat. which
showed considerable damage, said to have
been received in the combat with the Amer
leans at Cienfuegos. The injuries to the
fortihcations there caused by the lombard
ment are described as being plainly visible.

Yesterdays Developments.

A belief prevails in weII-in-
formed government circles that
spain is sincerely anxious to ne
gOtiate for peace. There are nu-
merOus evidences that such is the
case, one being the ufterance of
the Spanish ambassadors at Lon
don urging that a. peace movement
would now be oppOrtunc. Another
evidence is the sending of Senior
Castillo TO Paris, his mission being
TO enlist sympathy and TO eneour-
age movement toward securing
peace on 81 basis honorable to
Spain. Further evidence is the
condition of the Bank OF Spain
and the desperate situation OF the
Spanish forces at Manila, santiago
and Havana. While Spain is
thought to he desirous of opening
negotiations, she has, so far, been
unable to secure the services of a
disinterested power which Is will
ing to take the initiative.
Further details of the dashanr
exploit of Lieutenant Hobson end
his companions in sinking the col
lier Merrimac I'm the channel of
Santiago harbOr fully confirm first
reports, and stamp the deed as one
characteristic of the best tradi-
tiOns of the American navy.
Hon. w. II. Durbin, Governor
Mounts military agent at WASH

Governor that the Indiana regi-
ments now in the field must be re-
cruited to the bas sis of 1O6 men to

ment of further companies or reg
iments will be made for this state.

The British government is TAX
ing steps which 1T is believed will
result in the expulsion from Cam
ada of Lieutenant Carrenza and
senior Du Bose, who have been en-
gagged in conducting a Spanish
spy system at Montreal. The Brit
ish Foreign Office is considering
the case, and prompt action is ex-
pected.
1t is reported that the British
collier Twickenham, which was
refused permission to unload 1000
tons of coal at Fort de France for
use of the Spaniards, will leave for
Jamaica. 1t is said a fleet was seen
on Saturday northwest of Martin

CAPE HAITIEN, Haiti, June
5, 7:4O p. m.-The United States
troop ship Resolute, formerly the
Yorktown, under convoy of the
torpedo boat destroyer Mayfower,
the converted Ogden Goelet yacht
of the same name, arrived at Mole
St. Nicholas yesterday and de-
parted shortly after.
Advices from Mole St. Nicholas
say that yesterday Saturday
some distance off Jean Rabel, sea-
port on the northwest coast of
Haiti, half way between Port de
Paix and Mole st. Nicholas, a
combat took place between three
Spanish and four American war
ships. The American ships are
said to have withdrawn from the
combat. One of the Spanish war
ships entered the harbor of Jean
Rabe1 for water. The officers of
ships lying at Mole St. Nicholas
we're extremely reticent.
Jean Rabel is an insignificant
seaport, and there is no telegraphic
station there. 1t is thought pos
sib1e that the Spanish ships ell
countered we're the vanguard of
the Cadiz fleet. The names of the
American ships are not ascer-
tanned, but it is believed here that
they were probably scouts.
