CENSOR FOR HAITIEN CABLE.
United States Controls Communities
ton With Puerto Rico.

New York, May l.-Brigadier Genral
A. w. Greedy, head of the signal corps of
the war department is in the city. He
did not visit the army headquarters on
Governors Island, but Lieutenant j. z.
MaXfield, of the signal department, was
in conversation with him.
1t was learned afterWard that General
Greedy assigned Lieutenant Maxfield to
the duty of exercising censorship for the
government over the cable to Haiti
This fact, in connection with the report
that an invasion of Puerto Rico is con
templated as well as of Cuba, was re-
gardede as extremely significant in army
circles 1t was said by an officer:
at looks as if the placing of a censor
ship over the Haitien cable which leads
to Puerto Rico means blow at the Span
iards in Puerto Rico as we'll as in Cuba
The seizure of the Spaniards, base of sup
plies at Puerto Rico before the Spanish
fleet arrives would do more to kill their
operations on this side of the ocean than
anything else that would be done. The
preparations to transport troops to Tampa
means that the actual invasion of the
Spanish possessions is not to be put off
until after the rainy season"

ARE OFF TO THE WAR.
Spokane Responds to the Nations
First Call For Volunteers.

Spokane, Wash, April 30.-Five thous-
and people gathered about the Northern
Pacific depot at noon today to bid fare
we'll to the boys of Company B and Bat
terry A, who started this afternoon to
Tacoma on a special train. 1t has been
a great day with the people OF Spokane
Early this morning they began assembling
on Riverside avenue hoping to catch a
glimpse of the members of the two militia
companies whom it was understood had
been ordered to leave this afternoon. Very
little business had been transacted today
The stores have been open, but it has
been more to give the people a chance
TO come in and sit down while they were
waiting for the parade than because the
proprietors expected or desired to do any
business.
The order from Governor Rogers came
last evening directing both companies to
be prepared to move on special North
ern Pacific train at / o'clock, taking with
them all their camp equipments. The order
sent thrill through the ranks of the two
companies, but it caused perhaps more
excitement among the friends of the boys
than among the volunteers themselves.

PANAMA'S WARLIKE CARGO
The Seized Spanish steamer Laden
With War Material.

New York, May discoveries have
been made on the captured Spanish
steamer Panama which makes it very
improbable that she will ever be returned
to Spain, whatever disposition may be
made of the Buena Ventura and other
prizes taken, says the Key West cores
pendent of the Herald.
The prize commission has discovered 2O0
new Mauser rifles and d large consign-
ment of swords and bayonets, besides
quantity of fixed ammunition for the Pan
ama's 4 Ia FOUNDER guns, which she might
have used to blow her captOr, the Man
grove, out of the water, but did not.
The Panama's captain had refused to
admit that his cargo included any contra
band of war. 1t is believed that a further
search will reval many more weapons
and possibly more ammunition. The prize
commissioners also found papers tending
to show that certain of the Panama :
passengers and old New York Spanards
had been actively engaged in plans for
aiding the Spanish of Cuba in getting
arms, ammunition and supplies.
The discovery of these documents has
already led to an order from Washington
to hold as prisoners of war large num-
Der of the passengers of the Panama.
Some patriotic sailors and marines OBJ
iect because the Spanish flag still flies
over the Panama, Guido and other prizes
of war.
After Qualtrough came ashore from the
Guido, having turned his prize over to the
United States federal authorities, one OF
the marine guards hauled down the Span
ish flag from the staff, where 1T fioated
under the stars and stripes and announced
his intention of keeping the Spanish flag
as a souvenir. He has been sharply re
primanded and compelled to restore the
flag to its place as it is rightfully there
until the prize court condemns the ship
The only excuse the marine gave for his
action was that he did not think the
Spaniards should be permitted to fly their
flag in Key West barber.

spaniards.

Washington, April 3O.-A cable was re-
.coived this morning that the Spanish tor
nodo boats Azore, Rayo and Article sailed
This morning from st. Vincent for the
Canaries. Two of the boats were towed
nv transports and it is believed are go
inc for repairs to the damage received in
the collision yesterday.
Anxiety is felt as to the destination of
che more formidable part ofthe feet which
sailed for the west yesterday. If headed
for Cuba they will likely reach Puerto
Rico about May 7th.
Ready for the Spaniards.
New York, April 3O.-A special to the
Herald from Washinton says:
Immediately following the receipt OF
official information announcing the de-
parture of the Spanish fleet from st. Vim
cent sailing orders were issued the flying
squadron under command of Commodore
Schley.
These orders are the result of the dis
e,ussion of the naval war board of the
etrategetical considerations entering into
the departure of the Spanish fleet. Natur-
ally the greatest secrecy is observed but
it is generally conceded that the proba-
bilities point to an immediate junction
of the armored vessels under Commodore
Schlev and those commanded by Rear
Admiral Sampson, and the placing OF this
formidable force at the central position
where they can promptly resist any at
tack made by the Spanish fleet either on
the American coast or on the blockading
squadron surrounding Cuban ports.
VIII Destroy New Batteries.
New York, April 30-Another lombard
}ardment of Matanzas will probably fol-
low if General Blanco makes any attempt
to- replace the batteries demolished by
Admiral Sampson, says the Washington
correspondent of the Herald.
Official dispatches from Admiral Samp-
son received at the navy department tell
briefly of the bombardment. The only
explanation he makes for the attack on
the Matanzas Notifications IS that he dis
covered the Spaniards were erecting heavy
guns there and he deemed it eXpedient 70
demolish them. He adds that the Puri-
tan will be sent back to Matanzas with
orders to destroy any new batteries that
may be constructed.
wild Spanish Scheme.
New York, April 30-A dispatch to the
Herald from Havana says:
1t is rumored that Genral Padra has
finished plan for conquering Florida. 1t
will be presented to the other generals
for their opinions before it goes to Blanco
for final approval. A part of the army is
being organized for the invasion of Flor
ada.

Chattanooga, April 30-The Ninth cav

SO far as can be learned no more troops
will be sent south from here for several
days. General Brooke seems to think his
command is here for some time, as he
granted permission for a large portion of
it to participate in the parades in Chatta-
nooga next week.
