NEW YORK, May I2.- The above dispatch was received from the Herald Calls special correspondent at Martinique. It is believed to be reliable and trustworthy as he is indorsed by the United States Consul at that place.
 At the outbreak of hostili- ties the Herald and Call, in order to prepare for just such emergencies as the present, communicated with all their correspondents in the smaller islands of the Antilles and in structed them to be particu- larly watchful for the move ments of the enemy's ships.
 The former resident core spondent at St. Pierre had re- moved, and a cable dispatch was sent to the United States Consul asking him to suggest the best man on the island for the place. He promptly replied, giv ing the name of MT. Testart.
 This information is the sen sational sequel to the Herald and Call publication on May I that it's special dispatch steamer Avery Hill had fol- lowed the Cape Verde fleet to sea, and when they disap- peared on the horizon on April 2o they were steaming in westerly direction. The fleet that left Cape Verde consisted of the first class cruisers Viz caya, Almirante Oquendo, h. tanta Maria Teresa and Cris- tobal Colon, and the three torpedo destroyers Terror, Furor and Fulton.
 The distance from Cape Verde to Porto Rico is ap-

proximately 2486 miles, and according to the above dis patch it would seem that the Spanish squadron proceeded at the rate of about fourteen knots an hour. This also verifles the statement of the Herald-Call correspondent on the Avery Hill that the fleet was steaming at a fast rate of speed.
 The HeraId-Call corre- spondents have also succeeded in definitely locating Admiral Samp- sons fleet. It is off the north coast Of San DO-
 
 mingO. between Monte Christi and Puerto Plata.
 This information was ca bled to the Herald and Call by correspondents on the Danish steamer Tyr, whose presence in the Danish harbor of St. Thomas caused a diplomatic protest from the Spanish Government. The Tyr ar rived yesterday afternoon at Puerto Plata, San Domingo.
 They report that the Span ish gunboats are cruising off Hayti in search of the Amer ican vessels. Upon arriving the correspondents sent the following dispatch to the Herald:
 " Puerto Plata, Thurs day-The Tyr succeeded in passing the Spanish gunboats watching the coast of Porto Rico and reaching this harbor. The Spanish Consul at St. Thomas had our steamer watched con- stantly and cabled the

 ST. PIERRE, Martinique, via Hayt. May 12. The Spanish torpedo-destroyer Furor arrived at this port late last night but immediately put to sea. Her arrival caused tremendous excitement. About o'clock this afternoon the Spanish de- stroyer Terror arrived. As send this dispatch five Spanish war vessels are in sight, bound northWard apparently in the direction of Cuba.
 They are the Spanish Cape Verde Fleet.
 The United States scouting vessel Harvard is in port. She came in here to send dispatches to the Government in Washington As Spanish vessel was in port and left after the Harvard ar rived the port authorities served notice on Cap tain Cotton that he would not be allowed to leave until twenty four hours after the departure Of the Spanish vessel AMADEE TESTART.

''The Complete Concordance to Shake

was born in 1900.
The important question of the Preserva-
tion of our Forests will be discussed by
Charles D. Walcott, Director of the
United States Geological Survey, in
Appletons' Popular Science Monthly for

The January Book Buyer opens with a
portrait of Bishop Potter and a review by
James Bryce of the Bishops collected ad-
dresses. An article on early American
copperplate engraving contains number
of quaint illustrations from old prints.
Laurence Hutton has a review of the

School Gardens in Appletons' Popular
Science Monthly for February In city
public schools where Nature study has
been introduced, obtaining the necessary
supply of plants is always difficult. The
idea of having gardens cared for by the
pupils, in which the desired specimens
are always at hand, has been attended
with considerable success abroad, and the
same arrangement is urged for our adop-
hon.
Colonel Higginson' S entertaining remin-
iscences in the February Atlantic embrace
his experiences for many years as plat
form speaker, both in private and public
life. He relates his early training on the
anti-slavery platform, the many brilliant
and famous people that he met there, his
later experiences as a Lyceum lecturer,
and many interesting occurrences in the
Massachusetts legislature and on the
governors staff. He gives many pictures
of times and men now passed away, inter
spersed with amusing anecdotes and sug-
gestive comments.
Prot. Hugo Munsterbelg of Harvard
University utters a warning in the Feb
ruary Atlantic against the present tenden-
cy of teachers towards the study of psy-
chology in expectation of learning there
by mental facts which will furnish new
schemes and methods of instruction. He
points out the dangers arising from such
expectations, which he shows to be
complete illusion and liable to work great
injury to the cause of education. Pro-
fessor Munsterberg believes the science of
psychology to be yet in its infancy; he ex-
poets for it great and brilliant develop
ment, but he thinks that it should be kept
sharply distinct from all educational sys-
tens, which may indeed acquire informa
ton from psychology so far as it has any
thing of value to communicate, but in
practice must not be subordinated to it
nor confonnded with it.
