They Make Diversion by Running Out
of Havana Harbor.
Key West, Fla, May 1.-THE May
flower, Vicksburg. Annapolis, Wasp,
Tecumseh, and Osceola had an adven-
ture off Havana with a couple of Span
ish vessels which surprised them by
running out Of the harbor at some speed
and heading east. The blockading
squadron, which was some ten miles
out, made in after them and opened a
brisk fire. The Spanish vessels ran FIVE
miles close inshore and then turned
about and went back, returning an in
effective fire, their shells falling short
When the chase had led the blockad-
ing vessels back to the harbor and
they had come within five miles Of
MORO castle Santa Clara battery

The practice was bad and none of our
ships were hit but they had no busi-
ness to keep them in range and prompt
ly withdrew, after sending a few more
shells at the Spanish boats. The lat
ter ran back into the hartor with
apparent damage. Many small craft
were afloat just inside the entrance Of
the harbor, full of spectators of the
afternoons amusement. The American
blockaders were puzzled to know what
the maneuver meant but suspect some
design on the part of General Blanco
TO make ii appear that in the absence
of the American armored vessels the
blockade is not effective at Havana.

NOTICE OF COMMANDMENT.
Spain Circulates Stories That We Have
Acted Unfairly.

Washington, May 17.-Secretary Of
State Day was considerably irritated
by number of adroit inquiries that
were made by the diplomatic represent
atives of France. Germany and Austria
concerning the bombardment OF cities
without giving notice, so that innocent
Inhabitants can seek places Of safety.
The impression that the United States
has bombarded cities without first noti-
flying the inhabitants. which seems to
maintain in foreign courts, was gained
from official notes that have been and
are being sent to all European govern
ments by the Madrid authorities.
Secretary Day contemplates the writ
ing Of circular that will inform all
nations that the United States has not
as yet bombarded any cities. Fortif-
cations have been attacked and ST.
fenced. When the bombardment of
city is contemplated sufficient notice
will be given to permit noncompliance
to get out of danger.

Washington. May lit is said at
.he navy department that Admiral
Sampson reported to the navy depart
ment by cable from Cape Haytian. 1t
Is understood that the admiral by rea-
son of information just received by
him, has changed his plans of opera
tions and instead of going to Key West
has directed his vessels towards Glen
fuegos, where he is expected to arrive
within the next day or two.
Washington, May lit can be stated
on the authority of a cabinet officer
that the object of the new concentration
order issued by the war department
Sunday, is to arrange for the imme-
date occupation of Cuba as soon as re-
ports shall have been received that the
Spanish fleet, now in the caribbean sea,
has been destroyed. President McKin-
ley has said rather sharply that he
does not want to lose another oppor-
tunity to invade the island When the
moment arrives at least 10000 Ameri-
can soldiers will be ready to pour into
Cuba. This allotment will be augment
ed by 10000 more if in the meantime
General Miles considers the increase
necessary. Havana will not be struck
with a feeble blow. The attack upon
the city as now planned will be short
and terrific.
No More Trifing VIII BE Tolerated.
Trifling with the enemy will not be
tolerated. The advance guard will be
made up of cavalry troops backed by
artillery and infantry in overwhelming
numbers. Ten million rations will be
stored at Tampa before the middle of
the week Fast transports will be wait
ing with steam up. These will be con-
voyed by a formidable array of war
ships The Spanish guards will not
have the power to resist the army that
will be sent over. Those of the forti-
fications along the shore that have not
been demolished will be silenced dur
ing the next few days and the way will
be blaZed for successful operations
when the time comes to inaugurate
them.

tion If They Appear There.
Key West, Fla, May H.-Less anxi-
ETY. is felt here as to the whereabouts
of the Spanish fleet. The possibility
that II may come up around the west
coast of Cuba by way Of Cienfuegos is
recognized and all precautions have
peen taken. The mosquito fleet doing
blockading duty has been warned to
keep a sharp lookout to prevent sur
prise.
There is no great danger, as outside of
Simpsons and Schley's fleets there are
warships near the west coast of Cuba
sufficient in size and number to put up
a strong fight against the Spanish flo
tilla. AS a matter of fact, should the
enemys ships come this way they
would almost inevitably caught In
trap from which II would be impossi-
BILE to escape. even should they gain
a little temporary advantage. Disposi-
tions made by the commodore here
within the last twenty-four hours will
prevent any successful flank movement.
