MIGHT BE A FIGHT.
Report That the Montgomery Was
Chased by a Warship.

PORT AL PRINCE CHaytD, May s
Copyrighted, 1898, by the Associated
Press).-The United States cruiser
Montgomery. Commander G.. A. Con-
verse, is supposed to have been engaged
with much larger Spanish cruiser last
night northwest OF Cape Haytien, a sea-
port town of Hayti, on its north coast,
ninety miles north of Port au Prince.
while the French steamer Olinde
Rodriguez from Havre on April 10th,
for Haytien ports, was at Cape Hayden,
Spanish warship is said to have been
watching her there. taking the steamer
for an American vessel. When the
Rodriguez left Cape Haytien the Span
ish warship approached her and allowed
ognizing the French flag.
The United States cruiser Montgom-
cry left Cape Haytien soon afterwards,
and the Spaniard which is presumed TO
have been watching for her, is said 10
have pursued the cruiser, both of them
putting on full steam. The Spaniard,
according to the story told by the crew
of the French steamer, gained in the
pursuit, which was witnessed from the
bridge of the Olinde Rodriguez by the
officers of that vessel.
The two warships, they say, went
! in the same direction with the Span
lard behind. The latter appeared 20
be formidable vessel and much larger
and faster than the Montgomery.
By nightfall it is added, four dis
charges of cannon were heard, which
We're supposed to be the result of the
Spaniard firing on the American war
ship. Darkness, it is further said, pre-
vented any further observations being
made, though the French officers say
the moon was so bright that the battle
could be viewed, and especially as the
sea was calm, only mild trade wind
blowing from the land.
Strange to say it appears that all
| the crew of the French boat were be-
low at supper While this exciting in
cident was occurring, but the officers
of the steamer, which arrived here to-
| day, say they are confident the Mont
gOmery was overmatched, and that her
only means Of escaping was to run
close to shore during the darkness.

deportation of Cranstoun and Miller
was voted together with interest at 6
per cent. as an amendment. There was
agreement after discussion to S3,250 for
Dunwell, who was imprisoned in 1895.
Senator Brown objected to this. He
held that the Government had many
precedents for the refusal from British
records. The bill for services at the
Quarantine Station which the Advisory
Council refused to allow was referred
to the Finance Committee. Senator
Holstein moved for an item of $4,000
for the special session of the upper
House to ratify the annexation treaty.
This was reduced by vote to $500. on
motion of Senator McCandless, who
thought that expenses alone should be
paid. Action was deferred on a num-
Der of other items and several were
referred TO the Finance Committee. The
Senate then adjourned.
