Movement of Ships at the Enemy's
Stronghold.


PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, June s.
According to the latest advices from
Santiago de Cuba there were rot more
than seventeen ships in the offing all
day yesterday, and It is believed there
that three missing Vessel4 have gone
for provisions and munitions of war.
AT 6 o'clock this evening the Haytian
steamer Nouvelle Voldrogue arrived
here from Cape Haytien after touch
ing at all the ports along the coast. She
reports that yesterday st Mole st. Nico-
las she saw the United States troop
ship Resolute awaiting instructions.
The vessel was under convoy. 1t was
ascertained from passengers of the
Nouvelle Vcldrogue that the Resolute
had been pursued between Jean Ravel
and Mole st. Nicolas by two Spanish
ccrvettes, but had managed to escape
them.
From the same source it is learned
that Admiral Cerveras squadron, in it's
entirety is not in the port of Santiago
de Cuba, but that only a cruiser, sup
posed to be the Cristobal Colon, one
torpedo boat and two auxiliary cruisers
are there.
The collier Merrimac, so it is thought
at Santiago, went down laden with
coal, probably to render the obstruc-
tion Of the harbor entrance more COM
plete.
There is no direct news from Santia-

papers received on the steamer Vic

agreed upon by Russia and Japan, rec
ognizing the sovereignty and indepen-
dence of Korea. The protocol is as
follows:
Baron Nissi, minister for foreign af-
fairs of his majesty, the emperor Of
Japan, and Baron Rofen, Consillier
d 'Etat Actuel Et Chambillan, envoy ex-
traordinary and minister plenipoten-
tary of his majesty, the emperor Of all
Russia, duly authorized to that effect,
have agreed upon the following arri-
walls in pursuance Of article 4, of the
protocol, signed at Moscow, on the
ninth day of June, 1896, between
Marshal Marquis Yamagata and Prince
Lobanoff, secretary of state.
Article 1. The imperial governments
of japan and Russia definitely recog-
nlze the sovereignty and entire inde-
pendence of Korea, and mutually en-
gage to refrain from all direct interfer-
ence in the international affairs of that
country.
Article e. Designing to avoid every
possible cause of misunderstanding in

former first secretary OF the Spanish
legation here, will be expelled from
Canada within the next few days, un-
less they adopt their own means to
leave before an international question
Is raised as to their presence In Can
ada.
The Carranaza letter detailing his spy
system has been communicated to the
British ambassador, Sir Julian Paunce-
fote, together with all other informa-
ton bearing upon the operations OF
the Spanish officials in Canada.
The ambassador was quick to act
In the matter, and, without waiting
the slow process Of the mail, he cabled
the entire matter to the foreign office.
No doubt is entertained as to the
speedy action of the authorities at
London, now that a definite case has
been made out against the Spanish
officials in Canada.
They would have taken the initiative
ere this, had there been anything more
than suspicion as to the operations Of
Carranza and Du Bose. But the Car
rama letter was proof positive, and
the British officials moved quickly on
their own volition toward securing ade-
Quate redress.
The state department has not ca
bled Ambassador Hay, not ;deem1ng
1t necessary to do more than simply
lay the facts before the British am
bassador here. 1t is expected that Lord
Salisbury will call the attention of the
Spanish government to the undesira-
b:1it1y of having Morcrc GO r-ranaZa and
Du Bose remain in Canada longer. as
their operations are so obviously hos
tile to the United States This, how
ever, may become unnecessary, if the
Spanish officials withdraw from Cana
da at once, as there appears to be no
disposition to prosecute them or to give
them an enforced expulsion, SO long
as they are willing to close their opera
tions and depart
The British statutes, as well as those
of Canada, have specific provision
against the use Of British or Canadian
territory, by foreigners temporarily
seeking asylum there, as the base OF
hostile operations against countries
MES are at peace.
TO SAVE A SPY.
About a week ago an effort was made
by the Spanish officials to enlist the
sympathy of the British embassy here
for an alleged British subject imprison-
ed at Tampa, who, it Is now believed,
is the Spanish spy alluded to in Lieut..
Carranza's letter. A Canadian lawyer
arrived here last Sunday. and made a
personal appeal to Sir Julian Paunce-
fote to intervene In behalf of the man
imprisoned at Tampa.
There were suspicious circumstances
connected with the case and before act
ing the ambassador asked for spe-
cific recital of all the facts. These were
not forthcoming, and the case was not
pushed.
When the Carranza letter appeared,
stating that one of his Apes had. been
caught at Tampa, it becaTiae apparent
for the first time that the efforts to-
wards Intervention were designed to Sc
cure the release of this spy.
Aside from the official action of the
British government 1t Is quite likely
that the Canadian officials will take
some steps against Carranza and Du
Bose under the Canadian statutes.

hlNGSION, Jahaica, June 5.-A dis
patch from Port Antonio says:
vessel that has arrived here from
Santiago de Cuba reports that the
americans sank, on Friday night, the
spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror"
Ihe assumption based up5n Dispatch
es from Madrid, has been that the de-
stroyer Terror, after leaving Fort de
france, went to Porto Rico waters. and
it is probable that the Port Antonio
dispatch confuses her with her sister
destroyer, the Furor, as has several
times been the case in dispatches from
other points.
SPANIARDs AT SAN JUAN.
CAPE HAYTTEN, 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 warships elsewhere.
SEVEN SHIPS ENGAGED.
Advices from Mole st. Nicolas say
that yesterday Saturday some dis
tancc off Jean Rabel, a seaport on the
northwest coast of Hayti, half way be-
tween Port de Paix and Mole st. Nico-
las, combat took place between three
Spanish and four American warships.
The American ships are said to have
Withdrawn from the combat. One Of

that they were probably scouts.
