Commissioner receives his orders and
will act on them.
The mayor has received a number
of complaints from people about the
manner in which the sidewalks
about town have been replaced when
they had been torn up for different
purposes. In nearly every case the
walks have not been replaced prop

sunken in places in consequence.
The street commissioner has been
instructed to find out the proper
persons to put the blame on and to
order them to fix the street every
where such work has been done.
Complaint has also been made
about the distractions different peo-

dispatch boat has arrived here with
the story of the movements of Ad-

day last was lying directly opposite the
entrance to Havana harbor, about ten
miles off shore. A meeting of the
eommanding officers was held on board
the flagship, and Immediately there
after the fleet set sail to cooperate
with Commodore Schley's fleet in pre-
venting Cervera's escape from Santiago
de Cuba.
A number of vessels were left be-

Key West, May 26.-The investigation
of the case of the suspected Spanish
SPY, Remigro Zapatero Jiminez. q pas
serGer on the prize steamer Panama.
was continued yesterday by the federal
authorities and brought out some new
facts. While the suspicion involving
the whole affair has increased, posi-
tive evidence sufficient to warrant a
conviction is still lacking. A search of
JimincZs effects revealed q cipher let
ter, which turned out to be the key
to 50 charts of the Atlantic coast from
Maine to Florida. A rigorous search
failed to locate the charts. Passengers
on the Panama say they recognize
Jiminez as lieutenant of the Spanish
navy. Several persons claimed to
recognize in the suspect Lieutenant
Sobral, former naval attache Of the
Spanish legation in Washington, but
there is nothing to warrant such a
theory.

volvers. They searched the jail. but
