VICTORIOUS At MANILA.
The Delusion that is Given Official
Currency in Cuba to Bolster
Up Spain's Cause.
A BIG CELEBRATION At clEAFUE60s'
Soldiers Treated 10 u Ration OF wine
and General Rejoicing Indulged Ia over
the .success' of the spanish Arms In
the Philippine Islands.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, May l7.-Advices
which have lust been received from
C~ienfuegos, island of Cuba, say the
Spaniards at that place attended the
chanting of a te deum at the principal
church there in celebration of the news
circulated by the Spanish government
20 the effect that the Spanish forces nad
been victorious at Manila. Nhen
the first news was received at Nlen-
fuegos from Madrid all the bells
in the city were rung, and Gen. fando,
who was then there. and his stan at
tended the church of 1T. Sulpice in iuh
uniform. In addition. a ration o. vine
was served out to the soldiers and
though the American blockadlng snlps
were outside the harbor, and meat was
costing two pesetas a pound, the city
was gay, and r~ejoiced at the
success of the Spanish arms.
Since then. however. ugly rumors OF
the defeat of the Spaniards have been
in circulation, but Officially Spain
has won a victory in the Philippine
islands.
The refugees who arrived at Jamaica
from Cienfuegos by the Adula nave
been released from quarantine. Among
the most prominent of these passengers
are Albert Fowler, brother of the BRIT
ish consul, his mother n sisters; Nj.
Antoine Pouvret. a millionaire sugar
planter, and the Salacida family.
Threats of cutting off the heads OF
Americans have been made at Cen
fuegos, bat no violence has actually oc'
Cured.
On leaving the harbor an officer on
board the United States auxiliary
gunboat Eagle, which overhauled the
Adula, said they were fishing for the
cable. and expected to cut it any day.
The cable has since beer cut.
The Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes,
of $500 tons, now at Santiago de Cuba,
has seven of her ten boilers disabled,
and she is otherwise SO unseaworthy
that she has been anchored at the har-
Dor entrance as a g~uardship.
There was some complaint among
the SO Americans on board the AdtIa IN
regard To the departure of Consul Me-
Carr. They aver that he left Clenfue-
Cos without notifying the Americans
of their danger.

DECISIVE ENGAGEMENT.
pewey's brilliant Victory in the Orient tn
be Duplicated ut Santiago"
dc Cuba.

KEY WEST, Fla. May si.-The pro-
logue has been spoken and the curtain
is abuat to rise on the first act OF the
drama. This is the ~unwavering opin-
ion of naval men here. Dewey bril-
liant achievement at Manila IS re-
garded as n separate episode. San
Juan is already IA memory; u the
sporadic encounters along the cuban
coast are accepted as merely pre-
lininary skirmishes, tentative rather
than decisive. The meeting OF the
two great hostile fleets is the
pivot upon which the situation
turns. and that "a few days, perhaps
hours, will bring them together Is tho
universal view here at the base %
operations. This view is confirmed by
the news that Admiral Ceryera squad
ron has reached Santiago de Cuba.
The intelligence came Yesterday, II
if il did not affect the situa'
ton. il vas "A singular coincidence
that activity among our ships was
pcrceptibly heightened and the work
OF c~oaling and provisioning hose IN
the harbor was rushed with more than
usual haste. The ships were surrepti'
tiously creeping toward the open sea
as the day dawned and the ranks otna-
val men ashore were constantly thine
ming until at dusk there was scarcely
one to be seen. The newspaper dis
patch boats have n"carly'all departed
with particular care not to lose sight
of the United states wal ships.
The center of interest again shifts
away from Key West. but whittier, IL
the question none can answer. Other
wise the day has been duh and empty
of action. some little stir was created
by the discovery of "A secret chamber
in the hold of the Spanish prize steamer
~Argonauta. containing - cases of am
munition. over 100 Mauser rifles and
other war stores. The find was made
by the United States marshal's officers,
and dissipates all doubt as TO the Ar
%gonauta's status as "A prize of war.
The hrgonauta was taken three
weeks ago by the United States gun
boat Nashville. off Cienfuegos. ON
board were Col. Vicente Cortijo, said
to be a brother-in-law to Lieut.-Gen
Valeriano Weyler. and 2s other Span
ish soldiers now in Fort Mcpherson. as
well as mail matter and dispatches for
Gen. Blanco and other Spanish otfi-
Gals in Cuba.
The reports that several new Span
ish prizes were brought in yesterday
were unfounded. The only new ar
rival of this character was the barken'
tine Carlos +. Rosas. the story of
whose capture last Tuesday has al.
ready been told. She was brought in
here by a prize crew and anchored
along with the other prizes.

A Tardy but Valuable .tind" on Board tn
Argonauta.

KEY WEST. Fla, May Clover forty
cases Of ammunition were found yes
terday on the Spanish steamer Argo-
nauta. captured during the early days
of the war. 1t was OF board this
teamer that Lieut.-Col. Cortijo. Wey-
ler's brother-in-law. was captured,
with other Spanish soldiers.
The discovery of the war supplies on
board the Argonauta will not change
the status Of her case before the prize
court; it had already been decided yes
terday. before learning of the find,
that the steamer was l~egitimately d
prize of war, no claims having been
filed by the owners of the ship Oh
cargo.
A like decision was rendered in the
case Of the steamer Ambrosio Bolivar
and the schooners Candidate, Mathilda
and Sophia. The only formality re
naming to MAKE these vessels the ab
solute property of the United States
is the confirmation by the federal cour
authorities of the findings of the priz'
commission

set no great store by them, being used
to see them every day. 1t is a pecul-
iarity of these Hildesheim patrician
houses that they show great wealth
of outside paintings and rhymed mot
toes. Many of these are funny or sar-
castle, a few are obscene, or that to-
day seem so to our more squeamish
ideas.
The town, too, is full of old churches
and converts, but it is not so easy to
gain access to them and view their Gu
riosities as it is in other towns. The
whole ancient part of Hildesheim-and
outside of few streets near the rail-
way depot there is nothing nevis
about as pitiful remnant of the mid
die ages as one may find anywhere in
the world. The streets so uphill and
downhill, often quite steep, and here
and there they are so narrow that peo-
pie inside the houses can almost shake
hands across. These streets are cool in
summer and mild in winter, but from n
hygienic point of view they cannot be
recommended.

still the greatest curiosity of all in the
ancient town. A couple of years ago
this rosebush began to all and it was
then feared that it was dying. But a
learned old gardener was summoned
who prescribed for the plant, tended
it for months, put new vigor into its
roots, and the following spring the bush
showed its gratitude by becoming once
more covered with pink roses-roses by
the bushel. The roots and the thickest
stems are protected by a pretty semi
circular railing of forged iron. Some
graves of bishops and priests are near
it, and the choristers' pillared halls are
also close by. The top branches of this
bush cluster under the roof of the rear
wing of the cathedral. so feet and more.
