PORT AL PRINCE. May ia great
sensation was caused here by the arrival
to-day Of the military commandant of the
Isle Of Tortuga, off the northwest coast
OF Haiti and due north Of Port de PaiX,
near the entrance to the "indward Pas
sage, who brought word to the Haiten
War Department of what is believed to
have been a naval engagement on Sun
day.
The commandant reached Port de Paix
from the Isle of Tortuga in a canoe. He
reported to the War Office that through
out the whole Of Sunday a very persistent
cannonading had been heard east Of the
island. and that from its duration and in
tensity, there was a strong presumption
that a very serious action was in pro-
gress. A thick fog at the time made IT
impossible to distinguish any vessel that
might have been engaged.

ANOTHER SPANISH TRAP.
Americans Decline to Fall Into It
A Dangerous Derellct.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.)
KEY WEST, FLA, May 1.-THE United
States cruiser Wilmington, Commander
c. c. Todd, when about thirty miles east
of Habana. yesterday, fred four shells
into Spanish trap. in the shape Of
derelict, sinking it. and thus doing away
with another piece of Spanish trickery.
The commander of the Wilmington had
been warned by dispatch-boats that some
dangerous wreckage was drifting about
the spot mentioned and the cruiser
steamed in that direction to investigate
the reports. An old Spanish schooner.
with her deck loaded to the rails with
rusty iron, car-wheels etc. closely packed
together, was found floating In the track
of torpedo-boats and dispatch-boats. The
iron-laden schooner had evidently been
sent out of Habana harbOr in the hope
that a torpedo-bOat or other small craft
of the bockading force would crash
into il and be so damaged as to cause her
TO sink. As wires were noticed around
the iron rails on the schooner, Com
mander Todd believed the Spanish trap
might also contain explosives. and there
fore, lying off a considerable distance
from her, his guns promptly sent her to
the bottom.

"What have l doneT' flashed out June.
You will be angry, I'm afraid, If I tell
| you what I think" said Madge, slightly
embarrassed.
June looked at her expectantly.
Il think" faltered Madge, II know it is
absurd, but l do think Tom is Jealous of
Dallas"
Then Lady Nevil fulfilled Madge's pre-.
diction by eyincing great anger at such
an utterly ridiculous and unwarrantable
assertion, and Madge was compelled to eat
her words and express the sincerest con-
triton for having suggested anything so
impossibly and w~ickedly absurd. Madge
was so extremely happy herself about this
time that she had little or no leisure in
which to occupy herself with her cousins
concerns. Mr.. Carslake was at the rec
tory, and was to spend a week at the Hall
later.
The marriage was fixed for the middle
of September. Sir Thomas and Lady
Nevil were to go to their place In the
North the second week In October. There
had been no visitors at the Hall this sum-
mer. June had felt scant inclination to
play the part of hostess, M Tom was
never very keen about having guests In
the house. Mrs. Ellesmere was at HON.
burg, and had been there ever since they
CAV up the house In Grosvenor street.
Mrs. Trevanion was the only person who
had been hidden. She, however, had 9TH
er engagements, but promised to come for
Madge's wedding and to stay a fortnight
after it. To this visit June looked for
ward amazingly.
Meantime, things went on much In the
same way. Agnes, indeed, took adyap
tage of June's apparent indifference to
come more frequently to the Hall, and,
in one way or another, managed to see Q
good deal of Tom and to manifets q great
deal Ct sympathy for him. He did not
actually complain of his wife, but it was
easy to see he was a disappointed man,
and Agnes was able to say a great many
words in season.
Madge was far too much occupied with
her own affairs to continue her system
of espionage over her sister, and June
had grown not to care-only to feel a sort
of c~ontemptuous Indifference. "If 1t
amuses them to be together and to abuse
pc, let theml What does it matter?"
Her soul was harassed by what she read
in the papers-the hardships the troops
were enduring, the privations, the heat.
ITO be continded)
