LONDON STILL MYsTIFIED.
Not Yet Certain That Cervera's ships
Are at Santiago.

London. June S.-Yesterday's news and
that which comes this morning has
brought no fresh feature into the situa-
ton except increased mystifcauon as 10
whether Admiral Cervera is really at San
tiago de Cuba.
The Madrid correspondents of the morn
ing papers make the point that the persist
ence with which Senor Sagasta and Capt.
Aunon, the minister of marine, assert Ad-
miral Cerveras presence there is mere
attempt to mislead the enemy.
on the other hand, it is argued that Ad-
miral Cervera could not be in safer
place, and that if Admiral Camara could
succeed in entering another West Indian
harbOr and thus employ the TWO Ameri-
can squadrons in the work of blockadins
Span's policy of delay would be assist
ed, but for The negative evidence that Ad-
miral CerVera has not been seen else
where, London opinion leads to the theory
that he escaped from Santiago harbor
either before Sunday, or possibly under
cover of the torpedo maneuvers Sunday
night.
In any case, it is held that Admiral
Sampson will soon take steps to solve The
mystery finally 50 far as Santiago is con-
cerned
WIN regard TO lne report or european
Intervention the Vienna correspondents of
both the Daily Chronicle and the Daily
News deny that the Austrian government
has received any fresh communication
from Spain. It would appear, therefore,
that any efforts in this direction are be-
ing made only in France where they are
apparently the most likely to succeed.
1t is understood that NJ. Hanotaux, and
other ministers regard the present situa-
tion as intolerable. A protracted war, be
sides disturbing commerce, would necessi-
tate postpOning the coming exhibition.
1t is hoped that the new commercial
agreement between France and the United
States will smooth the way to French in
tefvention in which certainly Austria, and
perhaps England or other Powers would
join.
Russia, 1t is asserted, would be willing
to undertake the office of mediator to save
France the necessity of becoming promi-
nent.
Count de Rascon, the Spanish ambassa-
dor in London, who has been interviewed
on the subject admitted that war means
ruin for Spain, and he said: "The senti-
ments growing In favor of seeking an
honorable peace, which America. consd-
ering her unpreparedness for war of in
Vaston, would also welcome in preference
to protracted struggle involving heavy
sacrifices of men and money This being
so, hope basis of understanding can be
found leading to peace"

INVASION NOT BEGUN.
Women and Children in Cuba starv-
ing-RooseveIt's Rough Riders.

Tampa, Fla June with the establish
ment of general army headquarters at
Tampa, and with Maj Gen. Miles on the
ground personally directing the movements
of the army, affairs here, almost stagnant
for some time, have again taken on con-
siderable activity, but no embarkation of
troops has as yet taken place from this
point.
All the work of preparing the army for
the campaign still continues with unabat-
ed vigor, but until the fate of the power
ful Spanish feet is settled, no orders for
the invasion of Cuba are expected. ADM
raj Cervera Is apparently the unknown
quantity in this problem of war. When he
is. disposed of it is probable the opportun-
ity the army has 50 long waited for will
come, and come quickly.
Col. j. II. Dorst who was in charge
of the recent expedition on the steamer
Florida, describes the condition of the
women and children as pitiable in the eK-
treme.
When the steamer Florida reached Point
Banes, on the north coast of Cuba where
Z the supplies of arms ammunition and pro-
visions were landed, il was met by a
crowd of perhaps 800 pacificos, many of
them emaciated to the last extremity by
long priva tions
Nearly half OF these unfortunates were
women. and, according to Col. Dorst,
scarcely one of them had more than
single garment, and that in tatters Many
of the children were absolutely naked and
their appeals for food when the first Boat
from the Florida landed on the beach were
heart rendering
As far as possible the crews of the Flor
Ida and her consort, the Osceola, supplied
the pacifcos' wants even giving away
their under clothing.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, with several mem
bers of his staff, to-day made a tour Of
inspection of the various regular and vol
unteer camps around Tampa. The main
volunteer camp at Palmetto Beach has
visited late i'm the afternoon, Gen Miles
reviewing a brigade drill Of the Thirty
second Michigan and First Florida regi-
ments.

REsTORMEL RELEASED.
Her Cargo of Coal Conhscated as
Contrnbnnd of War.


Key West June I'm the United States
District Court to-day, Judge Locke render
ed a decision condemning the cargo of coal
Of the British steamer Restormel. seized
on Monday as she was trying to run tho
blockade. Judge Lockes decision releases
the Restormel. The court held that the
question for it to decide was whether at
the time OF the charter and shipment. the
owners Of the vessel knew or should be
held to have known that she was carrying
conlraband Of war to aid the beliigerents.
1t being shown that the Restormel sailed
previous to the declaration of war, the pre-
sumption Of innocence was raised, and
there being no evidence that the owners
were wilfully ana knowingly guilty of aid
ing the beligerent fleet to coal, the steam
q is ordered released.
As TO the coal cargo, the vessels re-
markabe movements from San Juan to
Curacao and then, on the Spanish consuIs
orders, to Santiago de Cuba, convince the
court that the cargo was Intended for the
Spanish fleet and IS contraband Of war.
The cargo Is ordered appraised and turned
over TO the navy department. which viii
deposit IT'S appraised value with the New
York sub-treasury to the credit of this

Washington, June 2.-The naval officials
now calculate that Hawaii has become an
ally of the United States government in
the present war with Spain. and that at
this moment our government is responsible
for the protection of the Hawaiians from
the consequences of their friendship for

fcials Of the navy department the United
States cruiser Charleston arrived at Hon
oiulu last Saturday. She has probably com
pleted the taking aboard Of a full supply
of coal and IS now again ON her way west

traiitv IS to be repeated, for 1t is expected
that to-day the advance guard Of the
franrports carrying troops to Manila are
entering Honolulu harbor to replenish their
coal supply.

Washington. June At Is possible that
some of the volunteers mustered into the
service under the second call Of the Presi-
dent may be modified at Savannah.
This impression prevails among some
of the members Of the Georgia delegation
who are industriously at work on tho
proposition.
The strong and encouraging statements
made to Mayor Meldrim by Gen. Miles
last Tuesday ought to have a good ef-
feet upon the war department officials
sderation.
1t is not probable that any change will
be made at present in the location of tho
Southern encampments
Secretary Alger to-day sent letter To
Representative Lester to that effect Tho
secretary's letter was based on the petit
ton IN behalf of Savannah from ths
Board Of Trade and the leading citizens
presented by Col Lester few days ago.
The statements contained in the peti-
ton. the secretary says, will receive dre
consideration, but Il is not the intention
OF the department to make any changes
In the present location of the troops 10
IS understood that this only applies to
the troops under the first call.
The scheme Of the war department lStd
maintain all the present military stations
and recruit all the regiments TO the Limit
at the rate OF 100 men to each company.
Under such an arrangement there viii be
about 5,G10 volunteers to he provided for
outside the regiments now being organ-
lied. An additional site for the render
Vous of the 5000 will have to be selected
and the friends OF Savannah have made
a remarkably impressive presentation &of
the advantages of the city.
There is an unfortunate rivalry between
Savannah, Atlanta and Charleston arisen
in this Connection, which may operate to thS
disadvantage OF all concerned.
Representative Livingston is using his
best efforts to have Atlanta selected and
Representative Elliott is pulling every wire
in sight to advance Chareston's interests.
At the war department II is said that the
competition between these three cities may
become so sharp as TO render Il impossi-
bic to crafty the request of any one Of
them.

cording to official advices the forts and
batteries at Santiago de Cuba were un-
damaged; not single Spaniard was
killed or wounded, and not a single shell

OREGON JOINS THE FLEET.
SIMPSONS Sailors Greet Her with
Ringing Cheers.

Copyright 1898. by the Associated Press.
On Board the Associated Press Dispatch
Boat Dauntless May %, via Key West,
June ?, 1l;4O a. m.-The United States bat
tleship Oregon Joined the feet this morn
ing, finishing the most remarkable long
distance cruise in the history of modern
lronclads. Her reception by the feet was
worthy Of her achievement.
Coming along a l5-knot speed she swept
IN a majestic semi-clrcle through the fleet
to point opposite the flagship, solid
ranks of white clad, cheering sailors man
ming the sides Of each vessel as she passed.
The first news of the Oregons arrival
at Key West was brought to the squadron
by the Associated Press dispatch boat
soon after sunrise. The fleet was conse-
quently on the lookout for her and when
almost at noon there loomed up gray
hulK on the northwest horizon, there was
vigorous wigwasging from ship to ship
Marine glasses showed the ponderous out
lines of the navys crack heavyweight
ana showed also that she carried "a bone
In her teeth" as she piled up the white
water on each side Of her bow.
t1tteen knots if it's a mile" was the
verdict as she raced as in on the home
stretch Of her long journey and watches
held on her as she approached confirmed
It. She had a decided list to the port from
hasUly filled bunkers, that there had been
no time to trim since dashing into Key
West for fuel and out again But her
snort stay there spoke volumes for the
mechanism of a Pacific built ship which
could do 13-C00-mile run, throw in fresh
coal and steam out to what might be a
battle ground without stopping to even
tighten a crank pin.
The dispatch boats lying outside the
squadron raised their flags as the Oregon
bore down between them while her officers
and men waved their hands, and caps
were silently lifted. The big fighter slow
ed down to a majestic pace and then the
noise arose.
RANK upon rank upon white-clad sailors
broke into yells, which came over half a
mile against the wind, and the crew of
Oregon sent them back with interest.
Then the ships, each white with men.
renewed their greeting and each vessel Of
the fleet joined in again, and as the Ore
gon giided between the flagship and the
Indiana, the latter's band swung into the
washington POST march.
Then exchange of visits began and the
officers and men of the Oregon were heart
lily complimented and welcomed by ALL
