Mr.. WATSON'S LITTLE TRIP TO SPAIN
He Is Packing Away
Piercing Shot Which He Proposes to Place Where
They Will Do

One load already has been taken down
on a supply ship and the Yankee now
fills up the full quota. Each battleship
will have about 200 tons of powder, with
so to 20 of the largest 12-inch and 13-inch
shells, according to the size of the big
guns; 40 to so eight-inch shells: 200 to
300 of the shells for six-pounders and
other medium-siz guns, and 500 to 500
rounds for the small rapid-fire guns.
The cruisers carry approximately the
same allowance without the shells for
the IL and 13-inch guns. Aside from
this equipment of shells, the squadron
is well provided with solid armor-pierc-
ing steel shot. There has been no call
for a renewal of the armor-piercers. as
Admiral Simpsons fleet seems to have
used very few of them thus far. con-
fining their work to the big explosive
shells. The latter, although not made
for armor piercing, are tested by the
navy department to pass through four
inches of solid steel, not exploding un-
til through the steel. They have done
such execution that Admiral Sampson
has reserved almost his entire stock of
armor-piercing shells.
The navy department will not set a
time for the departure of Commodore
Watson's squadron, but with the deliv-
cry of the Yankees supplies of ammu-
milton very few days will be lost before
this formidable squadron will be headed
for Spain.

NO PEACE NEGOTIATIONS YET.
President Mckinley said to BE Not In
Favor of Retaining Remote Terri
tories That Would BE Tn
seryiceabIe to Us.

Washington, July 16.-In view OF re-
newed reports that the French ambas-
sador at Washington has opened peace
negotiations, it can be stated authori-
tatively that no negotiations or inqu!r-
les of any character relative to peace
have been made, officially or unofficial
ly, direct or indirect, by the French
ambassador. The statement attributed
to Premier Sagasta that Spain has been
making extra official inquiries to learn
what terms the United States might
accept as a basis for peace. fails of con-
firmation. Up to this moment the state
department has not been approached on
the subject. directly or indirectly. 1t
is gathered from high members of the
administration that the president him.
self is disposed to be moderate in his
demands. and. while securing all that
the United States is fairly entitled to
exact from a nation in Spain's dis
tressed condition, he is not disposed to
embark in a world-conquering enter
prise and insist upon the retention Of
remote territories that would be un-
serviceable TO us.

There can be no doubt on this question,
as General Shafter will direct Immediate
ly after taking charge of the city that
American operators be placed in the tele-
graphic Office there. The signal officials
will maintain a censorship of everything
offered there for transmission from Ha-
vana over the cable leading 70 Hayti or

be sent which is any way inimical to the
American government.

UNLOCK SPAIN'S DUNGEONS.
Commodore Watson May Visit Fernando
Po on His Way to spain.

Po on His Way to Spain.
New York. July 16.-The Evening
Post says: From private information
received in this city by sympathizers
with the Cuban cause. there is reason
TO believe that Commodore Watson
may include in his mission to the
Spanish coast visit first. or after
ward, to the island of Fernando Po, off
the African coast, to release from i'm
prisonment many people banished TO
the island by Spain for special reasons.
Most of the prisoners are Cuban SYM
pathizers.
That some consideration has been
given their position by the government.
or that the latter intends to adopt
some other and immediate plan for Sc
curing the release of the Cuban pris-
oners of war, is partly evidenced by a
dispatch received here yesterday read
ing as follows: Hopes for the release
shortly of Herrera and others have
suddenly grown brighter. Mckinley
gives us great assurance of prompt ac-
tion now"
