Ex-Secretary Herbert Looks for Of

NEW YORK, May 11.-H. A. Herbert. Sec
rotary of the navy during President Cleve-
lands last term was seen last night In Wash
ington, and asked what, in his opinion, would
be the general destination Of the Cape Verde
squadron. He replied
II have been informed that the Spanish
fleet has gone to Cadiz. II this is So l think
the Spaniards propose to consolidate their
fleet before attempting to cross the Atlantic.
They WILL in my opinion, get together as
strong a fleet possible, and will then sail
for America. l do not think 1t will ever be
necessary for our vessels to attack the Span
ish coast. If we capture the Philippines.
Porto Rico and Cuba, we will practically end
the war, but believe the Spanish navy will
be forced to come here and give battle. No
dynasty could live in Spain that should re-

NEW CATTLE DISEASE,
Nebraska StOcl<man Alarmed by Ap-
| pearance of Foot Rot.

Nebraska cattlemen are seriously
concerned over a number of communi-
cations from stockmen in the vicinity
of Hooper, Neb.. addressed to the gov
ernor complaining of new and fatal
disease among cattle of that section
of the state. Nothing similar has ever
been seen in Nebraska, and experienced
stockmen assert that the disease is
unlike anything they have ever heard
Of.
All the letters designate the disease
as the foot rot" Hundreds of cattle
have died recently in that part of the
state of the disease. The feet of the
afflicted animals turn black in a night,
and within "a hours begin to peel and
crumble away, till nothing but the bone
is left. This disintegrates in from three
to five days. and the cattle die in great
agony, apparently from blood poison
ing. 1t spreads from herd to herd in a
short time.
The cattlemen are greatly alarmed,
and beg the governor to do something
for them. There is no state veterinari.
an, and the governor is helpless.

BAD FOR THE ENGINEERS.
Accident to the Battle ship Indiana
Discloses Gross Incompetence.

Accident tHc
Discioses Gross Incompetency.
The accident to the boilers Of the bat
tie ship Indiana on the recent run to
Key West is said to have been more
serious than was given out.
The Indiana is fitted with four enor-
nous double-ended boilers and two sim
gle-ended boilers. Each Of the big
boilers is provided with eight CORFU
gated furnaces. Under ordinary cir
cumstances the Indiana, it is declared,
should be able to steam nearly 10 knots
per hour on two boilers alone.
On the run from Hampton Roads to
Key West the Indiana was steaming up
der two boilers. The speed was an easy
one, but suddenly it was found that the
fremen's floor of the ship was being
flooded with water. The engineers are
provided with tube shoppers in case a
tube gives way, but in this instance it
was something more than single tubes.
Whole groups of the tubes, it is re-
ported, were found to have started. and,
worse than all, the back connections
threatened to give way. Assistance
had to be rendered by the big cruiser
New York and the Indiana was accord
ingly taken in tow. This state of af-
fairs lasted for six hours, by the end of
which time the reserve boilers were
fired up.
The actual trouble aboard the Indiana
is said by prominent engineers to have
been not half so alarming as was the
fact which was disclosed through the
accident that some of the naval en-
gineers in the service are not fit to be
intrusted with high-powered modern
machinery

TO THE POLE UNDER WATER.
Submarine Boat to he Used in the
PeriIoUs Trim.

The first serious test of the usefulness
and staying qualities of a submarine
boat will be perilous attempt to reach
the north pole by travelling under the
ice. The boat for nearly 1000 miles
will have to go under the surface where
the ice is several feet thick.
Alfred Riedel, a young Baltimorean,
has held several conferences with Dan
iel c. Gilman. president of Johns Hop
kins university, and others, mrging
them to undertake journey to the pole
by means of the lake submarine boats.
At first Redel's suggestion was not
taken seriously, but he insisted strenu-
ously that there was no danger. Now
that the matter is receiving serious con-
sideration, and, it is said, there is every
prospect of the voyage being under
taken, the government may be asked
to lend helping hand by detailing
naval officers to go with the explorers.

Orators Applauded In a Conservative Meet
ing In Havana-Spauish Soldiers Aching
for Brush With American Blue Coats.
HAVANA, Feb. b.-The conservatives
are organizing their party throughout
the island. Weyler has been named
honorary president and Romero Rob-
ledo as vice president. On Sunday, as
Gen. Lee was entertaining the officers
Of the Maine at La Playa. the conserv-
atives held a large meeting at Mariana,
two miles away.
Romero Rubio, one of the speakers,
said that the great enemies of Spain
were enjoying themselves not far off;
that he hoped the day was not distant
when Spain would show them what
Spanish soldiers could do. and that
the Americans were very much mis-
taken in believing Spain to be weak
nation because she had not been able
to subdue 10000 Cubans; but that was
due to the fact that the Cubans were
the sons of Spaniards, having the same
blood and the same valor But, had
they been 100000 Americans they
would have been annihilated long ago.
The orator received deafening ap.
plause and hurrahs.
The anti-American sentiment is on
the increase.

had been in good health and his do.

indicated by the circumstances, and
