vest. Citizens generally at their homes

play the national colors. Merchants
say the demand for flags and bunting
throughout the western country ex-

large demands for the red, white and

ers found themselves unprepared for

frequent display of the Cuban flag be-
side "Old Glory" is noteworthy.
A millinery store in State street has
perhaps the most attractively deco

Story of the Mangrove's Capture.
When the Mangrove sighted the
Spaniard she ran up to her and fired a
shot across her bows. The liner did not
take the hint and second shot was
fired, after which the Panama slowed
down a little. A third shot was fired
across the bows of the Panama at
hundred yards. and the deck officer of
the Spanish vessel was hailed and noti-
fed that If he did not heave to shot
would be sent through his vessel. This
notification caused the Panama to be
brought to. Ensign Dayton boarded the
Spanish steamer and took possession
of her. The battleship Indiana then
steamed up and Commander Everett
notified Captain Taylor of the Indiana
that he had captured the Panama and
borrowed a prize crew from the battle
ship, consisting OF Cadet Falconer and
fteen marines. The Mangrove was then
ordered to report to the flagship, and
Rear Admiral Sampson told Comman-
der Everett to take his prize into Kev
West.

CUBAN CABLES BOTH CUT.
Havana Isolated from the World and Food
supply Running short.

Key West, Fla, April 27.-Havana is
now entirely cut off from all communi-
cation with Spain. The dispatch boat
Mangrove, which sailed two days ago
for the purpose, has picked up and cut
the cable from the east end of Cuba.
The cable between here and Havana
has also been cut. This sewers COM
munication between General Blanco and
his government and completely isolates
Cuba from the world The blockade is
drawn tightly across the mouth Of Hav-
ana harbor. No supplies whatever can
get in. The country back of the city is
a desert, and the insurgents are how
ering about in all directions, burning
and destroying whatever there is left
that is of value.
Havana is already beginning to feel
the pinch of scarcity, and great suffer-
ing from hunger must speedily follow.
With no hope of relief in sight, it be-
comes a question of how long a starv-
ing the Spanish will endure before they
surrender.
Members of the family of British Vice
Consul Arturo Rostugui of Havana,
who left Cuba on the British steamer
Myrtle Dene, report that the appear
ance of the blockading fleet threw the
whole city into a panic. The great rush
of men and women and families to the
interior resulted in a scramble for the
Mariana train in which several people
were injured. All outgoing trains from
Havana were jammed. Extra trains
were run out. The transportation was
insufficient. Food prices are going up
and the city is full of soldiers and vol
rnteers

PROCLAMATION OF NEUTRALITY.
Great Britain States Her Position I'm the
Present Difficulty.

London, April 27.-An extraordinary
issue of the London Gazette, issued
Tuesday morning, contained the GUS
tomary royal proclamation of neutral
ity, defining the attitude of British off,
cials and British subjects during the
war between Spain and the United
States. 1t is identical with the procla-
nation issued at the time of the Chino
Japanese war. The instructions of the
foreign office to the admiralty and coll
onial authorities regulating the bellig-
erents' use of British ports is dated
April 20, and gives the beligerents
twenty-four hours to leave. This ac-
counts for the departure of the United
States SQUADRON from Hong Kong and
the orders given 20 the Spanish torpedo
boat Audaz TO leave Queenstown.
The proclamation fills four pages of
The Gazette and begins:
Victoria, r: Whereas. We are hap
PLY at peace with all sovereigns, pow
ers, and states, and whereas a state Of
war unhappily exists between his maj
esty's, the king of Spain. the queen re-
gent of the kingdom, and the United
States of America and between the re-
spective subjects, citizens and other in
habitants within the countries. territor-
les or dominions."
Some of the newspapers here assert
that the rule in regard to coal being
contraband of war is new; but ii is
identical with Lord Granville's procla-
nation Of 1870, at the time of the out
break of the Franco Prussian war, and
identical with the proclamation on the
commencement of hostilities between
China and Japan prohibiting supplies
being furnished to belligerent ships, ex-
cept provisions and coal sufficient to
carry a vessel to the nearest port OF
her own country, no coal to be again
supplied to the same ship without spe-
cial permission. within three months Of
the time she had previously been sup
piled.

COULD SINK POWERFUL SHIPS.
Spain Has Submarine Boat Which May
Be n Source of Danger.

BE Source OF Danger.
London, April 27.-According to The
Daily Mail Spain has acquired the lease
of a vessel called submarine wonder,
which was invented by Count Pozzo
and constructed in France. A descrip-
ton of the vessel appeared in 1897 in the
French engineering journals. She was
originally intended for salvage opera
tions on submerged wrecks. The ves-
sci Is a steel sphere, with an external
diameter Of IT. 9 in. She Is propelled
by electricity. and has a speed of eight
or nine knots an hour.
She carries a supply of compound air
that will last three men for forty
eight hours. From the front of the
vessel protrudes a strong cutting and
graphing arm, which is capable of sew
ering anchor cables and connections Of
submarine mines. She can lay mines
and discharge them electrically after
retiring to a safe distance. She can be
connected with the deck of a vessel
and so guide a warship safely through
mined waters. Mr.. Ackerman, the Lon
don agent OF the owners, says that the
boat is on board a Spanish vessel that
Is now FIVE days out for the United
States. 1t is expected that she will
give a practical demonstration Of her
value in New York harbor in very
short time.
