Official Denial of the Madrid Story
From Washington.

OMciaI Denial of the Madrid Story
From Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-Oficials of
the navy department not only utterly
discredit the reported engagement near
Jamaica on Friday, but declare with
the utmost positiveness that it did not
occur. Advices from Admiral Sampson
and Commodore Schley clearly indicate
that the statements contained in the
Madrid story are without the slightest
foundation in fact.
Secretary Long was shown a copy Of
the dispatch tonight After reading it
carefully, he said:
'It is an interesting story, but it en-
tirely lacks the element of truth. You
will notice that it is regarded with
suspicion even in Madrid. It comes to
US from Paris, where it was received
from some unnamed place, after being
filtered through the Spanish capital.
NO, there is absolutely no truth in it,
AMUSED THEM.
Advices were received tonight from
Commodore Schley. They contain 10
information Of such an engagement as
is reported from Madrid, although it
is known they were written after the
battle is said to have occurred. The
advices from Commodore Schley indi-
cate that he is and has been for several
days guarding the entrance to the bay
of Santiago de Cuba.
Commodore Schley has not only his
own squadron, but two or three YES
sells besides at his command, and it is
not believed to be possible for the
Spanish admiral to escape with his feet
either by day or by night.

The Torpedo Gunboat Terror Is
Among the Number.

The Torpedo Gunboat Terror Is
Among the Number.
ST. THOMAS, D. w. l., May 29.-The
report that the Spanish torpedo gun
boat Terror has reached San Juan de
Porto Rico is confirmed. She arrived
there from Fort de France, island Of
Martinique, on Friday morning. Her
boilers are still said to be out of or
der.
The Spanish transport Alfonso XIII,
chartered by the Spanish government
and loaded at San Juan de Porto Rico
with provisions for Cuba, is now said
to be scouting in the vicinity Of the
Porto Rican coast, her crew having re-
fused to try to run the Cuban block
ade. The Alfonso XIII. is also said to
be carrying freight between the differ
ent ports of Porto Rico. 1t is rumored
here also that all the vessels of Ad-
miral Cervera's fleet are not at San
tiago de Cuba. Some of them either
old not go there, or have left those
waters, according to reports. Incen-
diarism is growing in Porto Rico.
There is revival here today of the
question of the purchase of the Danish
West Indies by the United States, and
the matter is causing excitement and
favorable comment
The Danish wooden corvette ST
Thomas arrived here this morning
from Copenhagen with the object of as
ssting the local government to observe
Danish neutrality during the war be-
tween Spain and the United States.
The st. Thomas was built in 1870, is of
1,572 tons displacement, has eight Ar
inch Krupp guns and six rapid-fire
guns. She carries a crew of 1872 men
ana has a speed Of about thirteen
knots.

earth, which carried the entire mass
along steel rollers provided for. that
purpose IN time so short as to be
phenomenal.
The sight was witnessed by large
crowd, and the moving was successful
in every particular. The. work of prep
aration for the moving of the pier has
occupied over eight months. A new
base Of concrete was erected thirteen
feet below the old foundation, and the
bottom of the old pier and the new
base were shod with steel rails, between
which played numberless two-inch steel
rollers, and power was exerted by
twenty mammoth screws.
This afternoon the power was ap-
piled for the first time, and the pier
was moved over an inch, smoothly and
imperceptibly. Momentum was gained
by the immense moving mass, and the
force exerted by land slide occa-
stoned by the slight movement Of the
pier completed the work the engineers
had begun. While spectators watched
the mass of granite it slid rapidly for
ward, IN less time than it takes to tell
it, and landed exactly ON the new
base.
Some apprehension was felt over the
effect OF the impact of the heavy mass
OF earth which gave way back of the
pier and gave it added momentum, but
so nicely were the rollers adjusted, so
perfect the poise and equilibrium of the
pier and so exact and careful had been
the precautions to prevent the immense
mass or stone from moving too far,
that the pier, after sliding forward for
three feet at high speed, stopped upon
the mammoth steel wedges, inserted
In the form Of an inclined plane. in the
exact place calculated by the engineers.
The moving of the. pier was made
necessary from the fact that 1t was
displaced by a sliding of earth be-
meath the foundation several years ago,
ana to correct the difficulty permanent
~ 1t was necessary to build an entire
new foundation and move the pier back
to the place from which it had been
moved
Flans Tor the work, which is entirely
unique in engineering, were prepared
under the direction of Chief Engineer
E. II. McHenry of the Northern Pacific
read, under whose direction the work
mas peen accomplished. The pier is one
OF the three supporting the Northern
Pacific bridge across the Missouri river,
which is one of the finest structures Of
Its kind in the world, erected at a cost
of something like $4,000, 900.
The work has been done entirely
without interruption to traffic, and
Trains VIII run@as usual tonight. It
will be necessary yet to imbed the
1uncture of the old pier and the new
foundation with a solid mass of con-
crete.
Engineer McHenry is highly pleased
at the successful completion of the un-
aertaklng, which is most remarka-
BILE one
The weight of the pier and the span
which 1t supported was 400 tons and
both were moved distance of forty
four inches, the pier moving in two
directions, north and east.

United States auxiliary cruiser Har-

MADRID, May 29.-It is now known
that nothing developed at the cabinet
council today to make clear whether
Admiral Cervera's squadron is in San
tiago harbor or outside it, but Gen
Correa, the minister of war, announced
that he had received dispatch from
Gen. Blanco to the effect that twelve
American warships were off Santiago
yesterday Saturday., but that most
of them disappeared today, going in
westerly direction.
Gen. Blanco gives it to be under
stood that Admiral Cervera's squadron
remains in Santiago harbor.

the law provides, and this policy will
be carried out in recruiting under the
second call. The apportionment to the
states has been made up, but not yet
given to the public.
Through urgent representations to
Secretary Alger, some of the states
were permitted, under the first call, to
furnish a greater number Of troops
than they were legally entitled to on
the basis Of population. Consequently
in raising the $4,000 men under the
second call, these inequalities will be
remedied, as far as practicable, with
the result that some of the states may
not be called on to furnish any Of the
men needed. This course probably
may give rise to discomfort in
states where men are anxious to serve,
but it is regarded as the only fair way
in which to proceed.

other hand, 1t is reported that two ves-

These names are probably wrong, for
there Is no Spanish vessel known here
