A DENIAL FROM MADRID
TIE SPANISH MARINE MINISTER'S
EMPHATIC STATEMENT.

He is Alleged to Have Denied That the
Squadron is at Cadtz and is Also
Credited with the Following: "The
Squadron at the Present Moment is
Where 1t Ought to be According to
Orders''-American Navy Department
in Doubt Concerning the Matter and
There is a Renewal of Anxiety--Noth-
ing Heard from Sampson.
London, May 12.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail says: "Ad-
miral Bermejo, minister of marine, de-
nies that the Cape Verde squadron has
returned to Cadiz. He says that the
squadron at the present moment IS
where it ought to be, according to in
structions given it."
Washington, May 11.-Contrary to
expectations the day passed at the
navy department without news from
Admiral Sampson. Notwithstanding
what appears to be confirmatory news
paper advices relative to the presence
of the Spanish Cape Verde fleet at
Cadiz the navy department officials are
beginning to entertain strong doubt of
the accuracy of the reports. 1t was
not possible during the day to obtain
anything like an official confirmation
of the official report received yester-=
day, but this is not to be wondered at
in view Of the success which the Span
ish government has so far met with in
keeping secret the movements of its
ships.
Until news comes from Admiral
Sampson of his doings in and around
Porto Rico it cannot be said definitely
what programme shall be decided on
as regards that island. 1t has been
suggested that some of the troops now
being hurried so rapidly to the gulf
coast may be intended to cooperate
with Admiral Sampson in the reduction
of the Notifications at San Juan de
Porto Rico and the occupation of the
island. 1t is felt that the admiral
will be in rather disagreeable plight
supposing even that he managed to re-
duce the forts with his fleet, If he was
obliged to remain there in occupation
of the place, troops which might be
needed elsewhere would have to be put
on shore. The revival of doubts as to
the whereabouts of the Cape Verde
squadron caused a renewal of anxiety
at the navy department, as regards the
safety of the Oregon. However it is
believed that Admiral Sampson is as
well posted as any one in Washington
as to the conditions existing in the
West Indies and he doubtless will do
whatever is necessary in his judgment
to safeguard the ship in her run UP the
coast.

Washington, May 1.-THE movement
ON Cuba is now fairly launched and to-
days news developed a concerted effort
all along the line to begin aggressive
operations on big scale for the eject
ment of the Spanish troops and govern
ment from the Pearl of the Antilles.
An order given this afternoon by the
war department for the purchase of
five million rations is an idea Of the
scale on which preparations are makz
ing for the invasion Of spain's territory.
OF this vast quantity one-fourth is to
go to the Philippines by the way Of
San Francisco and the balance to Cuba.
For some reason that was not discover
able there appeared to be temporary
check In the practical working out Of
the plans Of the war department for
this Cuban movement.
After everything had been made
ready for his departure last night, Gem
eral Miles was detained, and for a time
to-day the rather gloomy prospect Of
an indefinite postponement Of the first
| military expedition was presented.
Later on, however, the obstacle, what
ever 1t was, was removed and it was
again announced that the Commanding
general, with a numerous staff, would
leave Washington tomorrow directly

a great many changes in the original

The change from the ordinary to the
safety wheel, from solid to cushion
tires, from cushion to pneumatic tires,
and other improvements were not made
without encountering obstacles and OPP
position, but Columbia beyel-gears
have proven successful from the time
of their first introduction to the pub
lie.
Up to date we have shipped our GUS
toners over 1000 Columbia bevel-gear
chainless bicycles. All who have ridden
these wheels admit that they are bet
ter hill-climbers than any chain wheels
yet made. The purchasers of these BIZ
cycles are unanimous in the opinion
that in ease and noiselessness of run
ming, in strength and lasting qualities,
in the time saved in cleaning and ad-
justing the driving mechanism, they
are vastly superior to any other form of
cycle construction. To ride a Column
bia chainless bicycle, is to be convinced
of its superiority and to enjoy to the
fullest the pleasures of cycling.

My Dear Sir: 1 send you herewith thu re-
suits in detail of my investigation ofthe
efficiency of your ehainless wheel NJ SOB,
which was referred to in the article oA the
Overman dynamometer published infThe
American Wheeiman," December q, 1897,
as affording an efficiency of only 1873 per
cent. at 81 pounds pedal pressure and
about five miles per hour. The substance
of the detailed report is as follows: Noes.s
The wheel was tested by me in COZ ~
ton with your engineers before 1t wal INT
to Chicopee, and found to be fully equal
In efficiency to your best chain wheels:
After its return from Chicopee examined
the wheel and found it badly out of ADJUST
ment. Upon reimbursement it showed sub
stantially the same efficiency as those at
the first test, and, under conditions as
nearly as possible those l believe to tave
existed in connection with the Ovefman
test, it's efficiency was 92.7 per cent.
My tests were all made with the Webb
dynamometer, and with the assistance
of your engineers. This apparatus, which
is extremely accurate and delicate, is ex-
planned in detail in my report to you which
was published in the Iron Age" of October
q, 1897.
Regarding the Overman dynapdoIltter

might be allowed to witness Mr.. Overman'
tests was not acceded to by him.
