morning, is the fruit schooner Mascotta with a large cargo of bananas and po- tatoes from Jibara, in the eastern part of Cuba, for Havana. Boatswain An gus, who commands the Layden, re- ports that while towing in the Mas cotta, he saw large Spanish steamer running along the outer reef at a speed of fifteen knots an hour. He was unable to capture her, because the Layden s guns have not been mounted. He could not get close enough to make out the steamers name.
 Work is being pushed looking to the completion of field hospitals here, 'evi- dently with the idea that it may not be long before they will be needed. Cap tain J. E. Sawyer, assistant quarter master-general of the United States army has awarded contracts for frame outbuildings, including kitchens, din ing-rooms, dormitories for stewards and attendants and storehouses for medical supplies. Work on these struc- lures is to begin tomorrow and the contract calls for their completion within ten days. The buildings are to be erected on the grounds of the Con- vent of Mary the Immaculate, the mother superior of that institution hav- ing turned over the convent and ad joining school buildings for the use of the Government as war hospital.
 Major William R. Hull, surgeon, U. S. A., who will be in charge of the med ical and surgical staff, is already here. He will have four staff assistants, some of whom are now in Key West
 Among the nurses who will serve in the hospital are sisters of the convent, all of whom have volunteered for that service. All medical stores, beds and bedding are now here, and, if necessary, Captain Sawyer assures me, the hos pital can be made ready for service within ten days. It will be large enough to accommodate 300 patients.

SPOKE OF OUR FLAG
 AS A PAINTED RAG.
Socialist Editor Barely Escapes Lynching at the Hands of
 Kansas Mob.

FORT SCOTT. Kan, Nav 1.-George E. Bowman, an associate editor of the Appeal to Reason, a Socialist paper published at Girard, and who was So- cialist candidate for Lieutenant-Gov- ernor of Rhod- Island two years ago, has been compelled to flee from Girard to save his life from mob of citizens, incensed at an article he wrote for the paper
 While sitting in the newspaper office he was notitled by a friend of the ap- proach of the mob; which had a hemp rope, intendin~ to hang him. He es- caped through the rear door and ran to this city, a distance of twenty-five miles, without money or baggage. Chief Editor Wayland had grave fears of a repetition of the Lovejoy affair with his newspaper office.
 The article which so incensed the peo- pie referred to the national flag as a piece of painted rag, tied to stick. He was criticising the worship of the flag above the regard for fellow creatures.
 MT. Bowman came from Providence, here and is en route to Washington here and in en route to Washington State

Dempsey of the Second Infantry, who stands next to the top on the list; Cap tain Hugh Brown, Twelfth Infantry; Captain James Miller, Second Infantry; Captain William Thomas, Eighth h. fantry, and Captain Henry c.

TOO MANY VOLUNTEERS
 HAVE BEEN REJECTED.
Navy Department Orders That the Rigidity of Enlistment Regu-
 lations Be Relaxed.

PHILADELPHIA. May 1.-An order from the navy has been received at Cramps shipyard by the officers who have charge of the enlistment of vol unteers in the naval service directing that the rigidity of the regulations be relaxed in order that recruits for the St. Paul and other auxiliary cruisers may be more easily brought into the service. So many men have been re- jected because of trivial physical de- fleets, but who are nevertheless desir- able additions to the service, that the relaxation of this rule was found nec- essary. It is understood, however, that the new rule applies only to volun- teers and that the naval regulations governing the enlistment of regular seamen will be strictly adhered to.
 The St. Paul will sail from Cramps shipyard on Wednesday next. She has only 5000 tons of coal supply in her bunkers now and will sail light in or der to get safely over the shoal spots in the Delaware River. At Deep Water Point the St. Paul will be joined by four coal barges, and she will then receive the balance of her coal supply.

InAdditiOn to MauSerR Rifles, MaChetes Are Found
 in the Hold.
Prize Commissioner Will at Once Begin the Appraisenent of Captured Spanish
 Vessels.

Copyrighted. 1898. by James Gordon Bennett.
 KEY WEST, Fla, May 1.-As has been told in the Herald enough arms and ammunition have been found al- ready in the cargo of the steamer Pan- anna, which was captured by the light house tender Mangrove, to surely con- demn her. I learned to-day that in ad- dftion to the Mauser rifles taken from her magazines by Deputy United States Marshal Atchison, a large consignment of machetes was found aboard her, pre- sumably for use of young Spaniards who were enrolled as passengers on the Panama, and are now held here as pris- oners of war.
 A part of the Spanish silver taken on the coast steamer Ambroisio Bolivar was officially counted to-day by United States Marshal John F. Horr, United States District Attorney Strpling and the Prize Commissioners, Judges Phipps, Julius Otto and Commander j.. K Winn, United States navy, retired. About $50,000 worth of Spanish silver was counted. It is still thought the completion of the task will show the cargo to amount to GOO or more.
 Deputy Marshal Atchison has re- moved the brooches from the 14- pounder.
 Systematic search, inventory and ap- praisement of the cargoes of several prizes of war probably will be made to- morrow. It is likely that the Prize Commissioners may get to work for 1nally also They will take up first the cases of the schooners and smaller yes sels,. disposing of the steamships after ward.

Are you trembling this morn- ing? Did not sleep we'll last night. Clammy sweats. Dis turbing dreams. Wish you could avoid every one, don't you? You do. And that shows a bad state of debiIita- ton. You will get worse if you are not very careful. What should you do? Act sensibly. And there is no time for acting like to-day. It is not one bit sensible to throw up the. sponge and say, "l shall never be well again" You can again be a man if you wish to be.

Not but that you are to a certain extent to blame for your present condition-you are. But foIIies must be no reason for getting gloomy and hopeless. One remedy for failing strength and man. Iiness has been found. It is the hope of the hopeless. It is "Eudyan.' Weak backs and weak limbs are unknown to those who use it. You can learn all about it from the Hudsonian physicians if you will take the trouble to ask for free information. It costs you not a sou.

THE SPANISH REPORT
'ys Explosion was Internal No signs
OF Torpedo ActIon.

" AnERtuo AcNton
WASHINGTON, March %. - A full
synopsis OF the report Of the Spanish
naval commission which investigated
the destruction of the battleship Maine
is here given. The conclusions are
directly opposite TO those in the re-
port of the American court OF in
quiry. The synopsis is as follows:
"The report contains declarations
made by ocular witnesses and ex-
perts. From these statements it clear
ly deduces and proves the absence Of
all those attendant circumstances
which are invariably present on the
occasion of the explosion of torpedo.
The evidence of witnesses compar-
atively close TO the Maine at the mo-
ment is to the effect that only one ex-
plosion occurred; that no column of
water was thrown into the air, that
no shock to the side of the nearest
vessel was felt. nor oa land was any
vibration noticed, and that no dead
fish were found
"The evidence Of the senior pilot OF
the harbor states that there is abun
dance of fish in the harbor, and this
is corroborated by other witnesses.
The assistant engineer of works states
that, after explosions made during
the execution OF works in the harbor,
he has always found dead fish.
"A minute examination of the bot
tom of the harbor around the vessel
shows absolutely no sign of the action
of torpedo, and the fiscal (judge ad-
vocate) of the commission can find nc
precedent for the explosion of the
storage magazines of a vessel by a
torpedo.
THE report makes clear that, ow.
ing to the special nature of the pro.
ceedings followed, and the absolute
respect shown for the extra territorial
status of the Maine, the commission
has been prevented from making such
an examination of the inside of the
vessel as would determine even the
hypothesis as TO the internal origin
of the accident This is to be at
tributed to the regrettable refusal to
permit of the necessary cooperation
of the Spanish commission both with
the commander and crew of the Maine
and the different American officials
commissioned to inves stigate the causes
of the accident and later on with those
employed in salvage work.
THE report finishes by stating that
an examination of the inside and out
side of the Maine as soon as such ex.
animation may be possible, as also of
the bottom where the vessel rests,
will prove that, supposing that the re-
mains (of the wrech) not TO be totally
or partially altered in the process OF
eXtrication, the explosion was un.
doubtedly due to some interior cause.
The divers were unable to examine
the bottom Of the Maine, which was
buried in the mud, but a careful ex-
animation of the sides OF the vessel,
TITO rents and breaks in which all
point outward, show without doubt
that the explosion was from the in
side
