GER, OFF CARDENAS, May .. via
KEY WEST, May 1O.--The Spanish sol
diers are displaying much activity along
the line of coast from Bahia Honda, four
miles west OF Habana, to Cardenas.
sixty-hye miles to the eastward. AS the
ships of the blockading fleet have in
structiOns to prevent the erection OF new
Notifications, and have at various points
shelled working parties the task of
strengthening existing defences and
throwing up earthworks Is carried on
principally at night, save in the imme-
date vicinity of Habana.
Along the coast, fresh sand-batteries
are being thrown up almost every night,
but these works are of fiimsy charac-
ter, and would be reduced by the fires
OF the big guns in a few minutes.
The Hornet and the WinsloW. now
blockading MatanZas, nave had a lively
time for several days, Smelling Spanish
details at work on batteries and tele-
graph lines outside Of the entrance of
the harbor. There. as at other points.
most Of the work is done at night, and
each morning sees fresh earth-works
thrown up.
TELEGRAPH LINE GROUNDED.
On Sunday morning, the Hornet found
a party putting a telegraph line from the
lighthouse and signal station a mile
east OF Matanzas harbor TO the batteries
west OF Point Sabanila, on the other
side Of the bay. The batteries here are
said to be Of some magnitude. mounting
"A few high-power guns. To stop this
activity, the Hornet steamed quietly in
and dropped a shell In the midst OF the
workmen. They scattered like rabbits.
and the line grounded then and there.
Several other telegraph parties have
been discouraged in the same way at
other points.
Il is evidently the Intention OF the
Spanish TO establish communication by
telegraph with all their coast block
houses and batteries with a view poss-
bly,, TO massing troops and guns TO op-
pose a landing wherever threatened.
Hereafter. they will probably carry their
wires behind the first range Of hills,
where they will be less subject TO sudden
interruption.

millions for defense, but not a cent
for tribute" has been often quoted
since the Lee incident, but perhaps,
few persons know the occasion on
which 1t was used, and who was the
author OF it. Charles Cottesworth
Pinckney, OF South Carolina, was the
father of the phrase, and he used 1t to
Talleyrand. Pinckney, who was most
interesting character, was appointed in
1896 minister to France. The direct
DRY refused to receive him, treated him
with marked disrespect and finally Or
dered him to leaye the country.
Subsequently, with John Marshall
and Elbridge Gerry as his associate en-
VOWS, he went back to France. The
JOINT ENJOYS were no more successful In
establishing diplomatic relations with
France than had been Pinckney by
himself, and in reply to Tallyrand's sug-
gestlon that an understanding might be
reached through the payment of money
Pinckney made use of the now historic
phrase.
When Tallyrand submitted the sug-
gestion to the ENJOYS or commissioners,
he lntiinated that the penalty ofreiusaI
to be guided BY it might be war, and
Pinckney's full reply Is quoted as fol-
lows: War be it then, sir; millions
for defense, but not cent for tribute"
Later the last clause became very IA
millar by reason OF being stamped on a
political token.
