Will Soon Tell Spain That Il Il Time
10 Quit
Washington. May 12.-As result Of
the Spanish reverse at. Manila, leading
members Of the diplomatic crops, rep
resenting some Of the most influential
Of the great powers in Europe, have
unofficially exchanged views on the OPP
portuneness Of a movement, dictated
by the most friendly spirit, and in the
interest of peace. toward urging upon
Spain the futility Of further prosecut-
ing the war and inducing her to sue for
peace on the basis of the relinquish-
ment Of Cuba. the promise Of war
indemnity, and the occupation of Ma
Mia by Admiral Dewey until the war
indemnity is paid.
This discussion has been entirely I'M
official, and without advices from their
own governments, but it is said that
Spain's plight is such at the present
moment that movement on the other
side may begin at any time toward
inducing Spain to make terms for clos
ing the war. In such move it is
pointed out that those powers that have
been friendly to Spain, particularly
Austria and France, might we'll join in
urging her to sue for peace before it is
too late. 1t is said the nations friendly
to Spain might suffer by a prolongation
of the war, and the ultimate annihila-
tion OF Spain.
At the same time those powers mos,
friendly to the United States, particu-
larly Great Britain and Russia, would.
it is believed, join in movement
promising to restore the peace of the
world.

company OF home guards will patrol the
streets to prevent a surprise similar to
the Yaqui outbreak which occurred q
few years ago.

Washington, May l1.-Major-G General
Nunez, of the Cuban army, arrived
here last night on his return from land
ing party in Cuba. This landing was
effected about two weeks ago, after con-
ferenoes between Nunez, General Miles
and Senior Quesada, the Cuban delegate,
and was for the purpose Of opening up
communication with Generals Garcia
and Gomez. After a brief conference
with Mr. Quesada. General Nunez left
for New York, where he will report to
President Palma The results OF his
trip are guarded with much care by the
Cuban officials here, who deem it mex
pedient to discuss what General Nunez
did. 1t is said, however, that his party
found no difficulty In establishing COM
munication with the Cuban command
ers in the island.
It is understood that General Nunez
will continue organizing parties Of
Cubans to go to the front, and will
have command of the united Cuban
forces other than those in the field UNI
der Garcia and Gomez.

Spanish Fleet Returns
to Cadiz to Es-
cape. Sampson.
COAST IS SAFE FROM ATTACK
American Squadron May Have to Cross
the Atlantic Before Peace Is Finally
Secured-Blockading Fleet Destroys
More Spanish Earthworks.

Washington, May 12.-Advices were
received late this afternoon by both the
state and navy department that the
Spanish flying squadron Of four cruis-
ers, and three torpedo boat destroyers,
had arrived at Cadiz, Spain. This is
the feet that sailed from the Cape
Verde islands nearly two weeks ago.
It is hard to tell whether the naval
officers were relieved or disappointed
by the news. The safety from attack
is now completely assured, and the way
is clear for military operations in Cuba,
without running the risk of having the
occupying army's line of communica-
tion cut off.
On the other hand. it Is believed
that no enduring peace can be secured
until the Spanish navy has been de-
stroyed, and it now appears that the
sailors and soldiers must make up their

The Philippine Question.

New York, May IA special to
the World from Washington says:
There is considerable difference OF
opinion in congress on the question OF
holding the Philippines. Every one
comedies that they are valuable, but It
is thought by some that they would be
source Of weakness. The opponents
of Hawaiian annexation are almost to
q man in favor Of disposing OF the
islands, while on the other hand the
friends of annexation believe the
United States should hold the islands
permanently. One thing seems GER
tain. IL it il concluded that the islands
are to be knocked down to the high
est bidder, coaling station will be
held By the United States.

To ASSIST GOMEZ
Transport Starts With
Supplies for the
Campaign.
ACCOMPANIED BY TROOPS

Several More Transports viii BE Sent AS
General Nunox Returns From Cuba
viii Conduct . Vigorous Campaign.
Tampa, Fla, May 1.-THE steamer
Gussie, one Of the Mallory line boats,
chartered by the government for use as
a transport, will sail for Cuba before
morning, loaded with arms, ammuni-
ton and supplies furnished by the
United States government for the use
Of the Cuban insurgents. A company
of 100 United States troops from the
First regiment Of infantry will accom-
pany the expedition, and aid in guard
ing the landing of the valuable cargo,
and will. if necessary, penetrate into
the interior far enough to place the
supplies in the hands Of the insurgents.
The expedition will be In charge OF Cap
tain w. Fl. Dorst, General Miles aid,
who has just returned from Cuba.
The Gussie has On board between
5000 and 1000 Springfield rifles,
about 10000 rounds of ammunition,
and several hundred boxes of provi-
sions, consisting principally of canned
meats and bareback. The utmost
secrecy Is maintained regarding the
point of landing, but, IN view of Cap
tain Dorst's recent landing near Ha-
vana, where he communicated with
the insurgent leader, General Delgado,
it is supposed that the expedition will
be headed for point not far from Ha-
vana. The Gussie had mounted on
her forward deck -one-pounder rapid
fire gun. It is understood, however,
that she will be met not far from Key
West by a gunboat from the blockad-
ing squadron, and escorted to the desig-
mated landing place.
The Whitney, sister ship OF the
Gussie, which sailed for Dry Tortugas
with two companies of the Twenty-fifth
infantry, returned today. It is init
mated that she will follow the Gussie
to Cuba as soon as the arms and sup

has passed it is believed the insurgent
leaders will have been furnished with
arms enough for at least $4,000 men,
and, with base of supplies established
on the coast, vigorous campaign
against the Spanish forces will be in
augurated. Large amounts of powder
and projectiles for the blockading
squadron are now arriving here.
On Picnic island there are IL cars
loaded with dynamite torpedoes, pow.
der and other ammunition, which will
be sent to Key West. and as many more
cars are on the wharf tracks. An extra
heavy guard has been placed around
the cars. Hundreds of carpenters are
at work today fitting up big transports.
It is believed now that all of the boats
here will be in readiness for loading by
Wednesday night.

for the purpose of cruising up and down

EARTHwoRKs DEMOLISHED.

Plenty Of Work for the BlOckading
Fleet.
Key West, May lathe Spanish
soldiers are displaying much activity
along the coast from Bahia Honda, 40
miles west of Havana, to Cardenas, IS
miles to the eastward. As the ships of
the blockading fleet have instructions
to prevent the erection of new fortifica-
tions, and have at various points shelled
working parties, the task of strengthen
ing existing defenses and throwing up
earthworks is carried on principally at
night, save in the immediate vicinity
of Havana.
The narrow escape Of the Vicksburg
and Morrill, Saturday, when they were
decoyad within easy range OF the Santa
Clara batteries, just west OF MORO cas-
tie, has taught some of the unarmored
ships lesson, and it is not likely that
that class of boats will venture within
close range Of the modern high-power
guns again.
It may be, however, by the erection
Of these light batteries. which must be
abandoned as soon as the serious work
Of the fleet begins, that Blanco puts
heart in his starving soldiers, and inn
bues them with the idea that Yankee
invasion can be repealed at any point.
