also four police and rou1dsmen. A row
a containing three men, two of
Ynom were rowing and the third sit
ting in h stern, came Out from Tomp-
kinsvills and headed directly for the
Vizcaya. The Nina intercepted the lit
tie craft and. in response TO inquiries,
the man in the stern said that he had
a telegram for the commander of the
cruiser. When this information was
transmitted 10 Captain Eulate. the lat
ter told them to let the boat come
alongside, n also said that he would
see any newspaper reporters who wish
ed TO come aboard. As soon as this was
made known to the press boats, which
were lowering around, a number OF
newspaper men accepted the invitation
and, in less than ten minutes. were all
aboard, plying questions to the COM
mander and officers of the cruiser.
While all this was taking place, the
crowds on shore became larger, and
the keenest interest was taken in the
every movement of the different vessels
Lieutenant DOugherty will remain in
the vicinity of the cruiser while she re-
mains in port, and will direct every de-
tail regarding h protective watch.
From 4 O'Clock this afternoon until
midnight tonight the Nina. and Narko-
ia viii patrol the waters in the neigh
borhood of the big vessel. They will be
relieved at midnight by the tugs Dan
iel 5. Lamont and Scout, in command
of Captains Key n tCoffey. These
boats gre provided bv the supervisor
of the port. They will take on the po-
lice and marine guards, and remain on
watch until s O'Clock tomorrow morn
ing. At that hour, four police launches,
manned by police and marines. will go
or duty and stand by until 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, when the naval
tugs viii take up the same positions
which they assumed this afternoon.
These are the plans so far arranged by
Lieutenant Dougherty, and they are
not likely to be changed. All the YES
sells mentioned will remain off Temp
kinsville until the Vizcaya leaves her
anchorage and points out to sea In
case the cruiser comes through the up
per bay and anchors in the North
river, the patrol boats and tugs Will
accompany her, and the same arrange
ments will maintain
WARNED OFF.
Upon receipt of a telegram stating
that the Vizcaya a anchored OFF
Tompkinsville, Senior Don Manuel de
Suarez, secretary of the consul general
of Spain in this city, accompanied by
a representative of the Associated
Press, proceeded to the warship in the
tug Lehman to deliver mail and tele-
grams to the officers.
The Vizcaya was guarded by the
navy tugs. Nina and Markota and the
police boat patrol. The three were
slowly circling around the big cruiser
and the Lohman was warned off. After
a lengthy explanation she vas given
permission TO proceed. An officer n
guard Of four marines received the
secretar of the consulate, and a card
to Captain Eulate led to an invitation
70 n-a1An6 70 hfG IN IF on tho
main deck. There a very friendly re-
ception awaited Senior Don Manuel de
Suares and the reporter.
ACCEPT NO INVITATIONS.
In an interview with the Associated
Press representative Captain Eulate
said that while his ship was in this
port his officers would accept no invi-
tations of any kind. The Spanish war
ship had came here on a visit of
courtesy, and friendship, and when the
dreadful accident to the Maine was
learned, the flags were put at half
mast, and there they would remain I'M
til the ship took her departure. He
likened his visit to that of one inti-
mate friend to another, and when dis
aster had overtaken the latter, the
same delicacy dictated what to do to
mour with the friend n to avoid all
festivity.
NO invitations or a social character /
would be accepted-this he wished to
have understood. /
Referring to the catastrophe, he de-
clared that he and his officers were
greatly shocked and that the sympathy
of all was with the bereaved families.
TRIP UP THE BAY.
First Lieutenant Count Villa del
Fuentes gave a graphic account of the
Vizcaya's trip from her first anchor
age inside of Sandy Hook to that off
Tompkinsville. At IL o'clock today the
anchors were hauled in. 1t was very
foggy when the ship got under way,
so foggy that they had incessant diff
iculty in finding the buoys. They
came up by way of the main channel,
rounding the spit. The heavy draft of
the Vizcaya, the fog and the tortuous
channel made matters interesting.
Captain Eulate. when asked how
long the ship would remain in port /
said that he had no orders from his
government but he evidently expects
to be here for some time. He was
eloquent in his praise of his ship. Dur
the hurricane she rode the heavy
without an effort, and although
storm lasted "a hours no accident
of any kind occurred.
The Vizcaya has a full crew of en-
g~ineers, marines. torpedo corps, and
carries ten torpedoes, marine artillery
men, quartermasters and other officers,
and a diver, a total complement of
