Ready for Possibilities.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-At thee lose
of the cabinet meeting to-day it was
stated that although the government had
no official information on the subject.
there was no reasonable doubt hat Adj
miral Cervera's fleet was in Santiago
harbor, and that Commodore Schley was
on guard at the entrance. Although the
information upon which this belief is
based is regarded as entirely trustwor-
thy, the government will make no import
ant move or change its pians in the alb
sence of direct confirmation from official
1t was also stated that any con-
templated movement against Cuba or
Porto Rico would be held in abeyance
until the fleet either was destroyed or
otherwise rendered helpless to seriously
interfere with our plans in any direction.
The cabinet discussed the situation at
length. but nothing of great consequence
was decided upon. The work of equip
ping and mCbilizing the volunteer army
will be pushed it'll all possible vigor with
a vie to being in perfect readiness for
any call that might be made when the
Spanish fleet shall no longer be a serious
fact In the war problem. All of the mem
bers of the cabinet were present except

three shots at Mr.. BUGGY, none Of them
fortunately taking effect. The police
were promptly notified, and Lieutenant

strangely, and several times said to

He was locked up. after being search

Which Was Settled Upon = Basis of Five
Dollars or Ten Days.
Yesterday about a quarter after
twelve o'clock John V. Haid, a hos
tier at the busch House, on Market
square, was cut severely in the right
arm, just below the shoulder, by Jas.
Williams.
The two men appear to have had
some trouble Thursday night, but 1t
passed off without serious results.
Yesterday just after noon they met
again. and Haid, who appears to have
been forcing the fighting, made an at
tack upon Williams in corner and
struck him on the side of the head.
Williams had an open penlnife in his
left hand and in throwing up his arm
to protect himself the blade of the
knihe, which was long and sharp,
struck Haid in the arm. Had went
before Justice Rogers and had Will
liams arrested for cutting him, and
Williams swore out warrant for
Haid for assault and battery. The
Prosecuting Attorney investigated the
fracas, and as a result told the Justice
that both men should be fined for as
sault and battery, and it was SO or.
dered, each party being given five dol
lars and costs or ten days in jail.

WHEN THE CLOUDS HAVE
ROLLED AWAY.

For The Tribune.
To every sin-cursed mortal here on earth
Have oftentimes come thoughts OF
beauty rare
And wondrous, and oer all his oul
Has flooded a great wish to keep them
thee.
Perhaps a master sculptor. or an artist
lie has tried with brush or chisel, flying
fast
To trace their beauty. ere they passed
away;
And keep them for the world-but failed
at last.
Perhaps a great musician, drawing from
the ivory keys
A strain of music like a thread of gold
Has sought, with flying pen, to eaten
Its sweetness and its witchery hold.
Or yet again the poet, lost in reverie,
Has thought-tho' scarcely conscious
how they came
OF some few lines that, thrilling with a
marvellous power,
Might well have brought him happiness
and fame.
But, when with trembling fingers he the
thought
Would clothe In words and prisoner
make
On paper-lke shadowy dream 1t faded;
And he lost the priceless stake.
| But sometimes, when the clouds have
rolled away
And, in the clearer light of an eternal
day,
| We stand in triumph on the other shore,
The fragile thoughts will stay.
With pen that's dipped In foods of biaz-
ing light
viii trace upon the hearts of men be-
| low,
The thoughts that once to US were dimly
| shown;
And give to them a moments heeting
glow.
with colors wrung from ali the wheeling
| spheres
win paint upon the glowing canvas of
| the sky
The thoughts that, dim revealed to us on
| earth,
Have blossomed into fullest radiance
there on high.
With fingers made immortal and adept
To touch thestrings that bind the rush

And hold the music Of the world In

Mugwumps in Retreat.

A short time ago Harper's Weekly
was declaiming defiantly against any
increase in the territory of the United
States; now it begins to supplcate the
public not to go further In the direction
of national expansion than the annex
alton of Hawaii and Porto Rico until
the capabilty of congress to govern
new territory is made manifest. 1t dis
trusts and despises congress; congress-
men are. in its opinion, too much de-
voted to the mats 81 and pecuniary
interests of their ~ ricts and of in
fluential private Ctizens to care for
law and justice generally. IT." it adds,
'there is money for any one in pro-
posed legislation for a distant colony,
we may expect the enactment of a
law; if the proposed legislation merely
contemplates the welfare of the colon
lists, the establishment of a just and
equitable rule over the subjects of the
republic, We may expect to wait for
many years before congress will be-
come sufficiently interested to consider
the measure seriously and TO esta blish
the law"
Now it is a peculiar fact that under
the government of congress the United
States has grown from one of the
smallest to the most powerful Of ma
tIons. Here, under laws passed by
these despissa aongressmen. individual
liberty is ampler. and individual oppor,

The Navy and Anthracite.

A six-hours' fire in the coal bunkers
of the Minneapolis, which nearly
caused this noble cruisers destruction,
comes within a day or two after the
navy department had announced it's
unwilingness to change from the use
of bituminous to that of anthracite
coal. The departments stated objec-
tons to anthracite were:
% The low rate of combustion of an
thracite coal with natural draught, thus
involving great weight and space for
boilers to give the same power,
(2) Practical impossibility to procure
anthracite coal except on our Atlantic
coast, so that bituminous coal would
have be used elsewhere.
90 Greater length of time required to
change the condition of the fires from
slow to rapid production of steam with
anthracite than with bituminous coal-a
great strategic disadvantage.
Weighty as these objections seem to
be it is doubtful if they would warrant
the use of soft coal save perhaps in
time of actual war, and then only with
in zones Of danger. The fact that
bitumnous coal can be burned with
ease in anthracite CRATES would. if our
| ships were fitted to use anthracite, en-
| able it to be consumed upon special
occasions; while the use of anthracite
| meantime would remove entirely the
risks arising from the proneness OF
bituminous to spontaneous combustion
This matter should not yet be con-
sidered settled
