ANOTHER
SPANISH FLEET

Joins Cervera's Squadron In The
Caribbean.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-Both the
state and navy departments profess to
be without information in regard to
the reported arrival at St. Pierre,
Martinique, of reinforcements for the
Spanish fleet now at Curacao. These
three vessels are the armored cruisers
Catalina, Princesa de Asturias, and
Cardinal G. sneros. They were supposed
to bs at Cadiz with the Pelayo
and Numancia. These ships are new
and powerful. They are sister ships
to the Infanta Maria Teresa, Vizcaya,
and Almirante Oquendo, already with
Cervera. They are of 1000 tons. 1854
feet long, IS feet beam, 10000 horse
power, and 20 knots nominal speed.
Each of these cruisers carries two IL
inch guns and ten 81 inch guns.

A Surprised Cavalry Man

An amusing incid ent occurred today,
where q stalwart trooper of the 10th
cavalry was on his prancing steed on
the Lafayette road, performing and
riding like mad in the presence of a
hundred of more admiring colored
damsels. His horse re AIRED, but he sat
his saddle like statue. Some one ap-
preached !!T%Sa and asked %, from 29 behind,
thinking some of his fellow-troopers
were trying to ''guy" him promptly
said, go to-, -you!" In another
instant the horse had turned around,
ana the gallant cavalryman simple fell
off his steed. There before him stood
General John r. Brooke. The man
made elaborate apologies, but General
Brooke called corporal and had him
sent to the guardhouse, where he will
be kept all night. General Brooke
had q good round laugh over the in
cident with his staff officers after
wards.-New York Tribune.

LATIN AMERICAS INTER EST IN
THE WAR.

Mexican Herald.
We have said all along that nothing
but the prestige of the United States
prevents Europe from remor selessly
carving up Latin America. Our opin-
ion has been ba: ed on observations of
the European press, on the declarations
of European Statesmen, who are look
gard with cOvetcusness that magnifc-
emit territory south of Par anna.
A great London paper of il fuenc e
and represer tative of educated Eng
lishmen, the Spectator, says, and it's
words confirm our own:
Germany is being eaten up by her
millions, and the lands which would
hold them all are closed to preserve
American reversiOnary interests Bra
zil would hold five German populations
and is protected from invasion only by
the long shadow which the great Re
public casts all down the Western
Continent. If that shadow is lifted, if,
that is, it becomes clear that the Unit
ed States is at sea only an ordinary
Power with which another first-class
Power can contend on equal terms,
Spanish America will be insecure.
All our readers will remember how,
when the Union scanned about to be
divided, Napoleon rushed fer Mexico,
strong as those which would impel
William II, to rush for Brazil, where
the German settlers alone
would furnish him with a reason
bly, powerful army. France wants her
bit of Brazil too, very much, and in
short, if the proves of Spain dimin-
ished the terror of the Wester Repub::
lie, transmarine ambitions would
wake up in very dangerous way.
South America, as we have often
warned Americans, is the great prize of
the future, prize terribly attractive
to nations without natural wealth suf-
ficient to go round, rich, thinly popul
ated, and capable of cultivation by W hite
men. A great many new problems.
and sources of contention, and polit-
ical objects of desire would may be
certain, be at once presented if Spain
were to reveal at sea such unexpected
strength that America could only
maintain the Monroe doctrine as re-
CARDS countries to which she had &C.
cess by laud.
Doubtless much of the anti-Ameri-
can sentiment which has of late been
displayed in South America, except in
Venezuela, comes from q morbid fear
est the United States, q victor in this
war and growing at an incredibly fast
rate. should attempt to dominate for
itself in Latin Amt RIGA, and this feel
ing is fostered by newspapers controlled
wholly or in part by Europeans. Even 9
are moving fast and every day SHOW
the wisdom of President Diaz's expand
ed Nom oe Doctrine. Only by an
awakening of Latin America and q
union of the strength of her peoples in
formal alliance can all peril to their
territorial integrity be averted.

There was gladnPss in her very step,
