Former Vice Consul iowa Has an
Exciting Experience in an
Open Boat.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 18.-The
United States cruiser Wilmington,
Commander @. @. Todd, when about
30 miles east of Havana fired four shells
into Spanish trap in the shape of a
derelict, sinking it and thus doing
away with another piece of Spanish
trickery. The commander of the Will.
mington had been warned by dispatch
boats that some dangerous wreckage
was drifting about the spot men toned,
and the cruiser steamed in that dlrec-
ton to investigate the reports. An
old Spanish schooner with her deck
loaded to the rails with rusty iron Car
wheels, 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 Havana harbor in the hope
that torpedo boat or small craft OF
the blockading force would crash into
it 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
therefore, laying off considerable dis.
lance from her, his guns promptly sent
her to the bottom.
Maxine Gomez, the insurgent COM
mander.in-c chief, arrived at Key West
during the day.
Chased by Spaniards.
Mr.. John F. iowa, the former United
States vice consul at Sagua la Grande,
who was landed by an American gun.
boat on the coast Of Cuba about ten
days ago, was picked up after an excit-
ing experience with Spanish unboat,
which the American gunboat chased
into her harbor.
Mr.. iowa succeeded in reaching the
camp of General Gomez and has
brought back dispatches from the latter
to Commodore Watson. He reports
that General Gomez and the several
thousand troops with him are in the
best of spirits, and hopeful of speedy
ending of the present situation.
Mr.. iowa also reports that Spanish
troops are moving westward, keeping
il the cities. He made part OF the
journey along the coast in small boat
and was being chased by Spanish
gunboat when the American gun boat
hove in sight. The Spaniard, though
several miles off, fired number of
shots at the American vessel. The lat.
ter proceeded to pick up Mr.. iowa and
two companions of the former consul,
and then chased the Spanish gun boat,
which promptly scudded for safety into
port.

OGDENsBURG, N. Y, May 1S.-One-

careened to one side, forcing that pom.
toon under the water. The upper por.
toon then shifted position, drawing the
other pontoon entirely away from the
boat section, almost turning it bottom.

into the water, but all escaped. The
accident was caused by overlooking the
