The Albany and Somers Must Stay
Where They Arc.
Washington, April 29.-It is accepted
as settled that no more ships intended
for the American navy can leave the
ports of the countries which have de-
clared their neutrality. This result is
more serious in the case Of the cruiser
Albany, now at the Armstrong yards,
Elsmith, Eng. The view among diplo-
matte officials is that neither the Al
bany nor the torpedo boat Somers
can leave, even though the United
States flag was raised over them be-
fore the proclamation of neutrality
was issued. 1t is said the raising of
the flag cannot avoid the manifest
uses of the ships for war purposes.

Madrid, May 1. - In official circles
it is not believed the Americans can
effect landing on the shores Of Ma
tanzas Bay as the bay is full of tor
pedoes. The reports cabled from Wash
ington respecting the MOVEMENTS of the
American army and fleet are consid-
cred as intended to hoodwink the Span
isl government The latest dispatches
from Havana say it was the American
warship Montgomery which went
ashore off the coast of the Pinar del
Rio and that she grounded Oh the rocks
near Colonados.
According to these dispatches three
other waiships succeeded in floating
her, but the Montgomery is badly dam
aged.
There are great rejoicings in Havana
at what is described as 1.-The American
repulse at Matanzas." 1t is not be-
lieved that the United States warships
will venture to attack Manila.

Key West, April 3O-Aside from the
news of tile Matanzas bombardment,
which set the town wild with JOY the
event of the day, practically marking
the end Of the first week of the war,
was the arrival of a big prize. the
steamer Guido. She was captured by
the Terror and the gunboat Machias,
ten miles off Cardenas, but not until
after stern chase. Five shots were
fired, four by the monitor and one by
the gunboat, though the shot from the
N1achias did not take effect. Two OF
the terror's shots went through the
pilot house and one struck a long boat
and the upper works.
Manuel RivaS, q sailor, was in the
pilot house of the Guido and the fly
ing splinters penetrated his breast, in
flicting wounds which may cause his
death. He was brought ashore and
taken to the hospital. Capt. Kichi-
ondo received flesh wound il the
wrist from a splinter when the shot
went through the pilot house. The
Guido was bound from coruHna to
Havana with cargo of provisions
and money. The terror first sighted
her and began the pursuit by sending
a blank
Shot Across Her Bows.
She Spaniard promptly put out all her
lights and started in desperate at
tempt to run away. The monitor then
brought her six-pounders into play and
sent three more shots directly at her,
all finding the mark. She also trained
her big twelve-inch guns on the Guido
and prepared to sink her if she did not
heave to. Meanwhile the Machias
had come up and sent shot from a
four-inch rifle at the fugitive. Capt.
Kichiondo seeing that he had two such
powerful enemies to combat, surren-
dered. Lieut.. E. f. Qualtrough, En-
sign J. E. Hubbard and two marines
were put aboard as prize crew and
brought the steamer into Key West.
crew learned Of the conditions exist
ing in Cuba they asked to be landed
there.
The Guido is steel screw steamer Of
3133 tons gross and 2,S72 net. She
carried a crew of thirty-siX. All the
prizes still lie in the harbor and. ac-
cording to instructions received by
United States District Attorney Strip
ling from the department OF justice,
VIII Remain There
indefinitely. These instructions were
to the effect that the crew and pas
sengers of the Panama, which carried
four four-pouEd guns and which was
captured by the Mangrove, should be
held as prisoners of war. The crews
of the other prizes were also to be de-
tanned aboard until further orders and
will be allowed no communication
with shore.
1t is conceded that whatever the re-
suit of the presidents proclamation
may be, it will not affect the Panama,
which was an auxiliary cruiser.
The steamer City of Key West has
reported that she sighted the missing
Spanish schooner Saco, captured by
the monitor Terror and carrying a
prize crew under Paymaster G.. Simp-
son. The Saco then was at Rodriguez
Key, off Key Largo, seventy miles
from here She had been blown out
Of her course while making for Key
West. All on board were safe.

Sensational Rumor Regarding the

Key West, Fla, May l. - There is
absolutely no foundation for the SEN
sational reports cabled from here to
the effect that 4 case of treason has
been discovered on board the United
States monitor Puritan. The rumors
arose from the strange actions of a
fireman. with Il spanish sounding
name. now under restraint on the war
ship because Of his eccentricities. The
officers of the Puritan declare there is
no thought Of trying the man by court
martial. and that all the talk about
treason is absurd. The actions of the
officers of the monitor in placing the
man under restraint were guided sole
ly by the danger of allowing an I'M
evenly balanced man to be at large.
