Then they compared notes and found that the trouble arose from the fact that each was wearing the others shoes. A change was straightway effected and no further difficulty was en- countered.

 A large American squadron, supposed to be Rear Admiral Sampson's, was

 NEW YORK, May 31.-A dispatch from Kingston, Jamaica, says: The feeling has grown almost to conviction here that the Spaniards wrecked the steamer Belvedere by changing the light on Cape Maysi and captured Dr. Domingo Mendez Capote, Vice President of the republic of Cuba, who was a passenger. The Belvedere had twenty other passengers, who are thought to be in the enemy's hands.
 NEW YORK, May 31.-A copy righted cablegram to the Herald from Kingston, Jamaica, says: The report Is current here that the deck of the Belvedere, which was wrecked at Cape Maysi, was covered with blood, indicating a severe fight. Captain An derson of the Beverly, which arrived to-day, says the Belvedere is lying on the rocks pointing seaward. She seemed to be stripped of nearly all that could be moved. The lighthouse is about four miles away, but on account of the hills the coast tenders probably cannot see the Belvedere. As the coast is usually deserted, the vessel is not likely to be boarded from the shore.

STEAMSHIP BELVEDERE
 LOST ON CUBA'S COAST,
Spaniards May Have Captured the Vice-President of the Island
 Repub1ic

BOSTON, May 31.-The Boston Fruit Company received cablegram to-day announcing that its large steamer Bel vedere, which left Jamaica last Wednesday night for Boston, is ashore on Cape Maysi, on the eastern end of Cuba, and is probably total wreck The fate of the passengers and crew is unknown, although it is thought they were rescued. The company states that among the passengers was Senor Capote, President of the Cuban republic.
 It is thought that the Belvedere was wrecked late Wednesday night. The captain of the fruit company's steamer Ethelred, who sighted the Belvedere when passing the cape, says the latter craft had been abandoned and the hull was badly damaged. The after part of the steamer was full of water.
 The Belvedere was built at Glasgow

FAKE OF THE YELLOW
 "JOURNAL" EXPOSED.
It Claims to Have Possession of a Flag Captured by Admiral
 DaUau

NEW YORK, May 31.-Under the caption Fake Flag for Fools," the World prints the following dispatch from Washington: Claims are made by a New York newspaper (the Jour- nab. faked for fools, that it has pos session of a flag captured by Admiral Dewey from the flagship of the Span ish fleet at Manila These claims ac- cording to the statutes, are without foundation. Section 1554 Revised Statutes, provides:
 ''The Secretary of the Navy shall cause to be collected and transmitted to him at the seat of government all flags, standards or colors captured from the enemies of the United States"
 The next section directs him to de- liver them to the President for the purpose of being preserved and dis played under the direction of the President. These laws are mandatory, and must be obeyed by the President as well as by the humblest citizen.
 Before these flags can pass out of the possession of the Government, a special act of Congress is required, and as proof of the correctness of this state ment, a measure is now pending in Congress authorizing the President to return the captured Confederate flags.

 Then will come the siege of Havana. One hundred thousand Amer ican troops will join with General Gomez in atta ckin g BIancO's stronghold. Army of- ficers are of the opinion that this will be a great battle. General John M. Wilson, chief of engi- neers, says that Havana is now one of the best fortified cities in the world. Defensive works, of which he has plans, have been erected al! around Havana for a dis tance of twenty five miles, and 100000 well drilled Spanish soldiers will be there to resist the American invasion. This will be the great and, it is believed, the concluding battle of the war.

STAINS DEFEAT LOOKED UPON
 AS CERTAIN
The Takine of Havana Will Be the Great and Decisive Battle Of the
 War.

CALL OFFICE, Riggs House, Washington, May 3I. The Associated Press re- ports from Cape Haytien were shown to Secretary Long by The Call correspond ent immediately upon their receipt tonight. When told that the batteries at Santiago were being bombarded he seemed not to be surprised. He was evidently expecting some such information, but when informed that a later report from the same source indicated that Schley had given battle to the Spanish fleet he shook his head and saidsmilingly: "I do not be- lieve that last statement can be correct"
 This would seem to indi- ca.e hat while Schley is ex- pee ed to reduce the fortifl- cations, and may be doing so TOW, he will not enter the harbor.
 Secretary Long said that dispatch had been received from Commodore Schley this afternoon stating that another cruiser had been seen in the harbor, making three alto qether. He has no doubt that the whole six are within, viz the Maria Theresa, Viz caya, CristobalColon, Oquen- d1 and the two torpedo boat de5uoyers.
 The general feeling in Washington is that, while the war is by no means ended and may be pro- longed, Spain is already defeated. With her Ma niIa fleet annihilated, BIanco and the entire island of Cuba sur rounded and b ein g starved into submission and CerVera'S ships and men in a miserable plight in Santiago har- bor, Spain has only her so-caIIed reserve fleet now, and it is by no means as formidable as represented.
 The list as wired from Madrid from time to time is formidable enough. but it is all on paper. The bureau of naval intelligence has re- ceived reports of it's condi- tion. There are only two vessels that are worthy oi notice, the battle-ship Pelayc and the Carlos V. The rest are in badly dilapidated condition.
 That the President and his Cabinet are of the opinion that Spain is already beaten is indicated by the discus sions in the Cabinet confer ence, where the disposition of the Philippines and ot

 MADRID, May 31.-The superiors of the various missionary orders in the Philippines have sent a message to the Government claiming the friars are subject to persecution and assassina- tion through the machinations of secret societies there and in Spain. The mes sage further declares that the friars are willing to give their lives and property in defense of the mother country, but that if the Government is unable to protect them they will be forced to abandon the Philippines.

OQSly SOllSlQClCd oo II were already in possession.
 It was decided to in- wade Porto Rico imme- diateIy after the capture of Santiago by a com bined land and sea force.
 It was represented to the President by Senator Spooner and others that in order to hold Porto Rico or any other of Spain's islands, they must be in our possession at the close of hostilities, or when the treaty of peace is nego- tiated. Senator Davis, chair man of the Foreign Relations Committee, concurred in this opinion. Therefore, believing that the war would end with the equalization of Havana, the President and Cabinet decided to invest Porto Rico by land and by sea, and cap ture and hold the island tenn porarily at least.
 The impression is growing here that President Mckinley is in favor of the permanent occupation of both these isl- ands. So far as the Philip pines are concerned it is hard to put any other interpretation on the policy of the admins .tration in s tre ngth enin g Dewey's position by such a formidable array of warships and big body of troops.
 Still another vessel is to be sent to Manila besides the Monterey. Secretary L Q n g said to The Call correspond ent tonight that the monitor Monadnock will be sent as soon as she can be made ready. She has been ordered to San Francisco. The Mo- nadnock is a vessel of nearly 4ooo tons, has a speed of twelve knots, and carries four Io-inch rifles and two 4-inch rapid firing guns. The vessel will undergo some repairs at Mare Island. Like the Mon terey, she will have to be lowed, for her coal carrying capacity is limited. Secretary Long when asked if any yes sel would be left for coast defense at San Francisco, said the Philadelphia would re- main there.
 There is no longer any doubt that Santiago is the objective point of the troops now depart ing from Tampa.
 The Navy Department has 1 thrown off much of it's re- serve since it became defl- nitely and positively known that Cervera's s fleet was inside the harbor.
 Secretary Long is well pleased with the naval cam lpaign thus far. He said to-

captured or destroyed within a short time.
 It is evidently the ex- peCtation in naval cir cles that when Commo- dore Schley begins to knock Santiago's forts to pieces Admiral Ger vera will be in honor bound to sally forth and give battle to SchIey outside the harbOr.
 It is pointed out that any other course would be an exhibition of abject coward ice. But whether or not he emerges from his present security, his vessels will soon be stormed by the siege guns operated by our land forces from the hills surrounding Santiago.
 The capture of Santiago has been undertaken for a two- fold purpose-the destruc- ton of Cervera and the es- tablishment of a Cuban Gov- ernment there, under whose auspices the work of reliev- ing the reconcentradoS might be undertaken. The city was formerly the capital of Cuba, and is in a province which is now in the possession of the insurgents.
 Already the President has begun to prepare to help these people, and the commissary general of the army has pre- pared an estimate of S5,ooo,- GOO for the purchase of suffl- cient supplies to feed 10000 reconcentrados for three months.
 Santiago will certainly be under a state of siege before the end of this week. Many of the troops have already embarked from Tampa and have now reached Key West. These include the heavy artillery, with siege guns, the engineer corps with it's pontoons for landing anC it's force of road builders anC intrenchings tools.
 Blanco is helpless. He car do nothing to aid Cervera The length of Cuba filled with a hostile army lies be. tween them. The Spanisf force at Santiago is small It is not believed to numbe 5000 troops. The batterie: of Santiago and the ships o Cervera must depend or themselves to repel the Amer ioan army and navy.
