THEIR HURRIED DEPARTURE FROM

Both Cruisers Headed Toward Porto

OF SPANS Navy.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The report
cabed from Madrid last midnight that the
Spanish torpedo flotilla had arrived at Porto
Rico proves to have been erroneous, accord
ing to bulletin from Madrid to-day, which
says: THE statement cabled last night that
the torpedo fiotilla Of Spain has arrived at
Porto Rico was taken from a newspaper
here Investigation shows the announce
ment to be untrue The Spanish fotilla has
arrived at Cape De Verde islands, AMI it is
said will proceed after coaling." The Cane
De Verde islands are off the west coast of
Africa, south of the Canaries The bulletin
was read with a good deal Of satisfaction
at the Navy Department. which was with
out information OF its own on the where
abouts OF the fiotilIa. The islands are more
than 1000 miles from Porto Rico. AS 1t has
taken the Spanish fiotilla nine days to make
the Cape De Verde islands from the Ca
nary islands which they left on March a.
ii should, roughly speaking, going at about
the same rate of sped, take the fiotilla
about twenty-six days from now to reach
Porto Rico from tho Cape De Verde islands.
supposing the fiotilIa was able to coal and
start again to-day, which is very unlikely
Some naval officers, however, place little re-
lance in the dispatches from Madrid, and
even intimate the Span1afQS may be pur-
posely sending out false reports in order to
mislead tho United States as to the where
abouts of the fiotilla.
Late this afternoon the Navy Department
was informed of the sailing of the Spanish
ships Pelayo and the Carlos from Havre
and Toulon, France, for Carthagena, Spain.
The officials suppose that these vessels
have been at the French ports for some
necessary repairs and are returning to
Carthagena, where there is a Spanish nav
AZ station, for such additional work on
them as may be necessary preliminary to
any active service they may be called on
to perform. The Pelayo is $50 long and Sc
feet Beam and has twin screws, 5000 tons
displacement. has a speed of 1861 knots and,
besides a. formidable armament, carries
seyen torpedo tubes.

CHICAGO LAKE-FRONT CASE.
Secretary Bliss Decides Against the
Holders OF Land Scrip.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Secretary Bliss
to-day decided the celebrated Chicago lake
front land case, involving lands in frac-
tional Section 10. The decision is in forty
seven pages and was prepared by Judge
Vandeventer, assistant attorney general of
the Interior Department. 1t reviews the
history of the land from 1852 to the pres
emit time. through the various contests
which have been had respecting 1t in the
Land Department and the courts, including
the United States Supreme Court In brief
the decision holds that the water line of
Lake Michigan constitutes the eastern
boundary line of the section: that by the
patent TO Kfnzie the land to the water
line was conveyed by the United States and
that by conveyance of that patent the
United States ceased to be riparian pro-
prietor and had no right to the subsequent
accretions which formed the greater portion
of the lands now in controversy. In COM
clusion It Is lield that the land in question
is not public land and that it cannot be
acquired by the use OF scrip or otherwise
under the public Sand laws. The decisicn

ROUND FOR PORTO RICO.
Route of the Vizcaya and Oguendo
Watched by n Corresnnndent

Route of the Vizcaya and OUuendo
watched By Correspondent.
NEW YORK, April 2-The Evening
world prints a copyrighted dispatch dated
April on board the Worlds dispatch boat
triton via Key West, which says: 'The
spanish war ships Vizcaya and Oquendo
no longer lie like big black watchdogs
across Havana harbor. They are on their
way 10 Porto Rico. The dispatch boat fol-
lowed them until this was made certain.
1hey lett their mornings at o'clock this
afternoon and started eastward along the
horth coast of Cuba. For days both of the
Dig Spanish cruisers have been ready to
san at an hours notice. Their coal bunkers
We're filled almost two weeks ago. Late last
Right package of sealed orders were sent
out TO the two war ships from the office of
the Almirante on La Machina wharf. Early
this morning preparations for departure
were begun. Boat after boat loaded down
to the gunwales with provisions of every
kind, started out from Havana wharyes for
the Vizcaya and Oquendo The Evening
World correspondent boarded the Vizcaya
at 10 o'clock. He was received most cour-
teQusly by Captain Eulate in his cabin. All
] know about it. said the vizcaya's com
mander, is that we are going away. but
where / have not the faintest idea. Our
orders are sealed, and 1 shall not open
them until am several miles out at sea. -"
A correspondent was pat on board the
Triton with orders to follow the cruisers.
The correspondents narrative continues:
AS soon as the two ships reached the open
gulf they turned to the westward and ran
three or four miles down the coast in that
direction. After they had reached e point
on the coast about five miles westward of
Havana they turned completely around and
headed for MORO again. The watchers on
the Triton We're astonished. Could 1t be
that the Vizcaya and Oquendo had changed
their plans and were returning to Havana.
Under a speed of about eleven knots an
hour they passed MORO for the second
time, the Vizeaya leading the Oquendo by
half mile Down the coast to the east
ward Of Havana the two men-of-war
passed in procession AT distance of seven
miles from the land the Triton paraneled
their course, sailing at about the same rate
Of speed. AS the sun dropped down below
the horizon the Vizcaya and oquendo be-
came lost TO view in the shadow of the long
green hills of the shore. The two ships had
Increased their speed a little by this time
and were jogging along at a comfortable
fourteen knots. They kept well within the
fve-mile limit. Most of the time they were
not more than mile from shore. The Tri-
ton followed the Vlzcaya and oquendo UNI
I'll they rounded Point Guanos. Point Qua
nos is twenty-eight miles to the eastward
OF Havana. Had either Of the two men-of-
war had any idea of going to United States
ports they certainly would have turned
north at Point Guanos But they did not.
At a speed Of sixteen knots an hour they
kept on TO the eastward. The course that
they followed is the one indicated on charts
as being the most direct route to Porto
Rico"

When the ARpNoREITE starts

When the ARDAoREITE starts
out on the trail of strayed or sto-
len horse it rarely fails in its mis-
sion of bringing good results. The
same with other things. Last sum-
mer j. B. Spragins and a number
of friends were fishing on Upper
Caddo, and upon their return
home inadvertently left a tin box
containing a quantity of fine fish
ing tackle on the bank of the
stream. A notice to that effect
was published in the ARDMoREITE
at the time. The box was found
and quite recently the finder perus-

The Benevolent society, answer
ing a special call from its presi-
dent, met with Mrs. Bennett. on
Main street.
The object of the special meet
ing was to consider ways and
means for making glad the hearts
of the widows and orphans of Ard
more on Christmas day.
There was a fair attendance, and
each lady proved that her heart
was in the work by liberal con-
tribution. And we trust that
those in the town who are called
upon to help in this will respond
just as literally.
Our plan is to gather up food
and clothing and donations of
money, too, all in one place. The
money to buy apples, candies and
nuts, anu dISO lOOU anu ClOOnAnS
if we have not enough of these
contributed; then appoint commit
tees to distribute these among those
who have been reported among the
worthy needy families. And we
beg of you if there is such a family
in your neighborhoOd to come to
Mrs. j. c. Thompson's on Wednes-
day before Christmas and report it,
as it is our intention to have our
gathering completed by that time,
and perfect our plans for the dis
tribution.
We will not confine our gifts to
widows and orphans exclusively
but if others are reported who are
pulling hard against the stream" T"
we will assist those also.
