THE INSULT TO SPANISH LEGATION
Secretary Sherman Expresses Regret al
 the Act of Petty Vandalism.

Washington. April 2O-The following statement was made to the press at the state department this afternoon: Secretary Sherman expressed his regret that any act of petty vandalism should have been committed upon the office of the Spanish legation in this city last evening. When somewhat similar in dignities were offered by lawless per- sons a few days ago, he wrote to the commissioners of the district asking that prompt means be taken to pre- vent any further outrage. They as- sured him that they would prevent any such acts, but he regrets their failure or inability to do so. The department of state has properly denounced the attacks upon American consulates in Spain and Cuba, and he expressed the sincere hope that all our citizens en- gagged in such illegal assaults would be severely punished.

FORAHER SCORES 4 POINT.
Creates Profound Sensation by Statement
 Regarding Cuban Independence.


 Regarding Cuban Ind ndependence.
 Washington, April 20.-During the five hours of discussion in the senate this afternoon regarding the recent ac- tion upon the Cuban resolutions only one new point was developed, That was made by MT. Foraker of Ohio in the course of a brief statement con- corning the recognition of the Cuban republics independence. He said: 1T think that quickly, speedily, possibly even now, on the very day when the ultimatum has been sent to Spain pursuant to the resolution that passed here, this government has practically recognized the republic of Cuba, and think possibly it is true-we will all know by to-morrow-that that govern ment is being officially dealt with by the representatives of this government, as it should be-" This utterance, com ing from a member of the foreign rela- tions committee, created a profound sensation among the senators. Being pressed for the source of his informa- toin, MT. Foraker replied that his in- formation was positive, but not off, cial." Little progress was made on the sundry civil bill, upon which the Cu- ban discussion was hung, but in the ment was agreed to providing for the payment to Great Britain of the Behr- ing Sea award, amounting to $473,151.

Two chinamen Arrested.

Two Chinamen, Joe Young of 19 Dow street, and Charlie Lee of Grown street, were arrested last evening, charged with conspiracy to defraud two other Chinamen. All the Chinamen are members of the Calvary Baptist church. The trouble is in connection with laundry owned by Young on Crown street. Charlie Lee, Young's friend, ran the laundry for him for about a year. Some time ago Lee went to New York, leaving the laundry in charge of two other Chinamen. On his return they claimed that they had purchased the laundry of Lee for $130. This Lee and Young deny. Now Lee and Young are arrested and charged as stated above. Attorney Matthew man appears for the accused and they were released on bonds.

pose was in view-the honor and dig has contemptuously ordered us to evacuate Cuba. These orders are made by kick of the boot and against such action Spain will resist to the utter most. There should be no mistake about this. History has recorded that even the legions of Napoleon with near ly 500,000 men bearing the triumphs of all Europe were halted and retired from Spain after their legions had lost between 100000 and 300,000.
 Gallantry of American Navy.
 ''We recognize the gallantry of the American navy and the notable heroes of it's past, but Spain, too, has her heroes and their blood is in the veins of those now called upon to defend her honor. I speak after recently talk ing with my naval associates, com- manders of Spanish ships and of tor pedo boats, and l know that there is but one sentiment, namely, that not one Spanish ship shall be taken. Your navy may send some of them to the bottom, superior forces may seek to annihilate them, but not one Spanish ship will surrender to the American navy. With honor at stake, that will be the response of the navy of Spain.
 The departure of the Spanish party brought to a close a most eventful day at the Spanish legation. At 11:2O o'clock the minister received from the state department copy of the ultima tum and he immediately demanded his passports, which later were handed to him.
 Ambassadors, ministers and diplo- matic secretaries kept calling in a con stant stream upon the Spanish minis ter after he had requested his pass ports. The callers included represent atives of nearly every foreign country in Washington. The Spanish legation is now closed. The Cuban colonial del egation also terminated its relations at Washington this afternoon. It had come by appointment of the Cuban autonomist cabinet for the purpose ot effecting a reciprocity treaty. Senol Angulo, the head of the delegation, left for New York at o'clock this after noon, and his associates accompanied him.

HOLLAND sUBM aRINE BOAT.
Wonderful Performance In an Official
 Trial Yesterday.


 New York, April 20.-The submarine boat Holland, in the construction and perfection of which the inventor, John P. Holland, has spent the greater part of his life, was tested officially to-day under the direction of naval board of inspection and proved a success. The official trial took place in Raritan Bay in the vicinity of the dredge chan mel, where the submarine boat had about thirty feet of water to play in. Two tugs accompanied her, one of which carried the naval board of in- spection, consisting of Captain c. $. Brye, chief of the bureau of equip ment: Lieutenant Commander Swift, chief of the ordnance department, and Lieutenant Rock of the naval con- struction department. all of the Brook lyn naval yard. In addition to these there were a number of guests, the most prominent of whom was William u. y the navy. The second tug was at the disposal of several visitors and news paper men. The latter tug lowed the submarine boat from the dock in Perth Amboy to the entrance of the dredge channel. At 8 quarter of four the crew went aboard. The Hollands crew con- sisted of Inventor Holland and five others. The orders were to make a dive of ten minutes duration and come to the surface then dive ten minutes and come up again. After this two more dives, each of ten minutes dura- ton then a run on the surface, when the aerial projectile and dummy tor pedo were to be expelled from the bow and stern tubes, respectively.
 At ten minutes to four o'clock all hands had passed through the hole on the superstructure of the boat, and Captain Holland pulled down the cov- ering which made the boat practically water and air tight. A blast from his two-inch whistle signified that the test was about to begin and the little craft disappeared in about thirty seconds The boat did not reaper at the ex- piration of ten minutes and when thir- ty minutes haS passed some of the spectators feared that she would not again come to the surface. One of the lookouts spied the coming tower oi the Holland about mile and a hali away at the end of thirty-eight min- utes, but she disappeared again, and at the end of fifty-eight minutes from the ting she first went down she bob- bed up About two miles south of south buoy and her whistle footed joyfully This was answered by the whistles oi both tugs and the cheers of every one aboard. During the entire trial the naval experts only caught sight of hel once and were undoubtedly satisfied that she could steal march upon any war vessel.

BRITISH OFFICERS.
Several of Them Anxious to Enlist With
 tke United States.


 London, April 20-Several British officers consulted with Colonel A. E. Bates, the United States military at tache, to-day, as to whether they could secure commissions in the United States army. One Woolwich artillery lieutenant declared his intention to ap- ply for six months leave without giv- ing any reason for so doing and to en- list as private in the United States army, if he is unable to do better, in order to study artillery in action. Numbers of former soldiers and volun- teers have applied to MT. Marshall Hal stead, the United States consul at Bir- mingham, for enlistment in the United States army. MT. Halstead explained to them that the foreign enlistment act prevented the acceptance of their offers. Many engineers have left Bir- mingham for the United States.

MUNITIONS OF WAR,

Two Steamers From London Arrive With
 Large Quantities.
 New York, April 20.--The Atlantic Transport line steamers Mohawk and Mississippi, which arrived here to-day from London, brought munitions of war for the American government, a large portion of the Mississippi's cargo consisting of guns and gun-cotton. Her captain said he was very glad to get to port, as he had feared that some Span ish warship might intercept and search his vessel.
