from Southampton yesterday afternoon FOR
New-York had been captured by the Spaniards
A second report said the Paris was returning to

captain Of the Paris warned 10 run for the
nearest por; in of danger. The Paris has
not returned to Southampton. and has not as
another repor, said. been seen Of the Isle OF

she passed the Lizard at l1:45 last evening.
The afternoon papers of this city have received
DISPATCHES from Belfast snying trustworthy
news has been received there TO the effect that
the Paris has been captured Of the Irish coast
by Spanish cruiser. It is believed here that
the reports from Belfast simply repeutions

mors followed each other In quick succession.

IMPRESSION GROWS.
That NJ 'klNLEY HAS DEW
EY'S REPORT.
Believed that it is Withheld for
Reasons of State-Porto Rico
to be Taken.

Washington, May 5.-Anxletv
is growing to hear from Dewey.
Secretary Long announced that
nothing has yet been received.
The impression is increasing that
Dewey's message isin McKinlcy's
hands and is withheld from the
public for reasons of state. A
boat leaving Manila Monday
night should have reached Hong
Kong yesterday.
1t is semi-oflicially minated
that Porto Rico is the next place
to be attacked.
Senator Burrows, on leaving
the mansion today, said: eve
ought to have Porto Rico tomor-
row or Saturday." The remark
is believed to be inspired.

Key West, May 5.-The tug

after landing two expeditions in
Cuba. The first landed in Santa
Clara and hurried to the interior
with dispatches to Gomez. The
second disembarked between Hav-
ana and Madriel. The cruiser
Wilmington was shelling Spanish
cavalry. American and Cuban
flags were unfurIcd. The insur-
gent infantry, under General
Baldomero Acosta, furiously at
tackled a party of Spaniards, who
retreated INTO Havana with 60
wounded, leaving 16 dead. A
large consignment of arms for
Cubans was landed.

MADRID UNDER MARTIAL

The Powers of the Civil Author

Any News Relative to
the War.

Madrid, May 3.-Noon. The
proclamation of martial law has
caused much dissatisfaction, it be-
ing declared unnecessary, unless
the government has information
of secret conspiracy. Sundays
demonstration was trivial, even,
compared with the tritling distur
Dances upon the occasion of the
proclamation of the Cuban arm
istice. The newspapers are parti-
cularly discontented with the state
of affairs existing, as the mere
mention of military operation is
punishable severely.
The proclamation is couched in
warlike language, beginning:
"Whercas, Spain, finding her
self ut war with the United States,
the power of the civil authorities
is suspended.
'Whereas. 1t is necessary, to
prevent any impairment of the

THE END OF THE REGENCY.
Spain Practically in Il State of
Revolution.

London, May A special
dispatch from Brussels says that
high Spanish diplomats there de-
clare Spain, practically 10 II state
OF revolution. The end of the
regency has begun.
y special dispatch from Mad
rid says the Chamber assembled
yesterday, amid wild excitement
unparalleled in 30 years. The full
strength of the police was called
out and troops were kept in bar
racks under arms. There were
scandaIous scenes while Sagasta
was speaking Republicans and
Carlists hurled insulting and
ahominable cpithcts, filling moder-
ate members with shame. 1t is
further said that during demon
STATIONS Monday night soldiery
ut barracks were only prevented
from joining the mob by the per
sonal pleadings of the officers. 1t
says also that many officers min
gled with the mob, melting it to
attack upon residences of minis
ters.
The internal situation is causing
the Spanish government almost as
much uneasiness as the external.
The demonstrations Monday night
openly showed revolutionary ten
dencies, cheering Weyler and de-
manding Sagasta's resignation.
A letter special from Madrid
says that Spanish crisis is i'm.
minent. Probably it will end in
a considerable modification of the
present government, and lead to
the formation of national minis.
try under the presidency of Cam
pos. Parliament will certainly
be closed soon. The country is
opposed to idea of a republic. 1t
had enough of the republic in
1878, and would prefer Don Car.
los to such change.

CAPTURE OF THE ARGON
AUTA.
An Important Haul Made of
Prisoners and Mail-Gcncral
Weyler's Brother in law
Among the Captured.

Key West, May 3.-The Span
ish mail steamer Argonauta, Cap.
tain Lage, the news of whose
capture was telegraphed yester-
day, was conveyed into Key West
harbor by the United States crui-
ser Marblehead, this afternoon.
1t appears that Col Vicente de
Cortijo, of the Third Spanish
Cavalry, who, with nineteen other
army officers, was taken on the
prize, is brother in law of Lieu
tenant General Valerino Weyler.
Col DE Cortijo and the other OF,
ticers we're transferred to the
Guidon and the privates to the
Ambrosia Bolivar, in the harbor.
The Argonauta, herself, is no
mean prize, being of a thousand
tons burden, but the value of the
capture lies mainly in the pris-
oners of war, and the mail matter
going to General Blanco. Her
cargo is general merchandise, with
a large quantity of arms and am
munition intended for the Spanish
troops in Cuba.
The only other incoming prize
today was the little fishing scoon-
er Antonia y Paco, taken by the
gun-boat Newport, off Mariel
Yesterday, and towed in by the
gun-boat Castine.

Washington, May 3.-Troops
and supplies are to be sent to the

eral Fitzhugh Lee, whose appoint
ment to n major generalship was
sent to the senate today, will be
placed in command of these forces.
sent to the Philippines. The prop
ositiOn Is being discussed to send
General Merritt in command of
these forces, but he desires other
duty, and it would probably be
regarded as a slight to him, based
on an old grudge, if he were sent
against his will.
1t is proposed to send all the
regular troops that can be spared
from the Pacific coast, augmented
by volunteer force. If the re-
port from Commodore Dewey,
when received, indicates the de-
STABILITY of such n move. Pend
ing Il report from Dewey, pre-
parations will be made for trans
ports of troops under convoy of
the Charleston or Philadelphia,
now ut San Francisco. 1t is in
this connection that the PROPOSE
tion of sending General Lee as a
sort of military governor is being
considered. OF course what is
done must depend largely upon
the report received from Commo-
dore Dewey.
