 We had little hint of fun our selves" said Captain Leutze. "'but nothing approaching the dignity of a fight. After doing considerable work, Ensign Standley and myself went on horseback to Rivas, in the interior of Walker. On our return the insurrection was on, and the insurgents ran across us and took charge of us until they had completed the capture of San Juan. Then they released us. I permitted number of refugees to go aboard the Alert, and this led to an attack upon us by the insurgents. They fired 3 and pounders at us, but it did no damage merely caused us to laugh. We could easily have silenced them, but did not propose to fire. I placed Lieutenant Field and body of men at the Ameri- can consulate and kept the Alert in position to protect them, but there was no occasion to shoot. That same day the Government forces drove the in- surgents out.
 We took on board the Nicaraguan peace commission and sailed for Punta Arenas, there taking on the Costa at sea on April 26, the treaty of peace between these countries was signed After landing the commissions we sailed for San Francisco, stopping at Corinto and Acapulco for coal We were charged exorbitantly at both places on account of the war;
 Captain Leutze was formerly with Dewey on the Juniata, and is a great admirer of the Little Giant of the Philippines. The Alert will take on coal tomorrow and sail at once for Mare Island.

PROTESTS AGAINST
 AMERICAN FEELING
The Journal des Debats Claims That France Is Not Unfriendly to
 This Country

PARIS, May 16.-The Journal des De- bats in the course of long article to- day, reflects the anxiety experienced in Government circles here respecting the feeling aroused in America on account of Frances open sympathy with Spain
 It says: "The whole affair is a mis- understanding. French opinion at the outset of the war certainly regarded the United States as in the wrong and some of the papers expressed this opin- ion in an aggressive tone. The Ameri- cans, however, should not have taken the matter tragically, for, of all for eigners, our natural sympathies are for the United States and our Government throughout has acted most correctly"
 After charging Great Britain with be- ing at the bottom of the mischief and declaring that it is Americas own busi- ness if she decides to interfere in dis tant affairs, the article concludes: What concerns us is that America should not, in taking up the great role of international domain, start with pre- conceived ideas against us and de- nounce the good understanding with France which has been so useful in the past and which is still more desirable in the future. The French nation was never really hostile to the Americans, |. who will realize this when the present friction has had time to disappear"

pend their sessions pending a solution. Senor Sagasta believes the new minis try will be formed by Wednesday next.
 Orders have been issued by Senor Sa- gasta countermanding the reception which was to have been held to-mor- birthday, and he has instructed the captains general in all districts not to hold their usual receptions.
 On receivin~ the announcement that the Cabinet had resigned both houses adjourned.
 Marquis Vega d'Armijo, President of the Chamber, has advised Senor Sa- gasta to end the crisis as quickly as possible. Senor Monterio Rios, Presi- dent of the Senate, has offered his sup port, but does not desire to enter the new Cabinet.
 Senor Gamazou, who is i'll, also de- clines to enter the Cabinet, but he promises to support any ministry or ganiZed by Senor Sagasta.
 The general impression is that the Cabinet crisis will be protracted. Se- nor Romero y Robledo thinks that Marshal Martinez Campos ought to be the chief of the new ministry.
 Admiral Camara, the commander of the Spanish reserve squadron at Cadiz. has been recalled here to confer with the Ministers respecting his intended operations.

 The boats drew together and a con- ference was held. Lieutenant Brain ard and Mir. Knight were assured that Charles Thrall and Hayden Jones were absolutely safe and were being treated with every consideration. It was added that Captain-General Blanco was will ing to release them the moment the United States authorities sent him two Spanish prisoners in exchange. MT. Knight was told he could not land at Havana from an American boat, in spite of the flag of truce. and it was explained to him that if he desired to reach Havana he must go there on a ship belonging to some neutral power.
 The Uncas then returned to Key West and delivered the information to the department. It is understood that two of the Spanish captives now In Fort McPherson, Atlanta will be promptly sent down and the exchange of prisoners will be consummated with out further trouble.

SAN DIEGO. May 16.-The little gum boat Alert came up to-day from the south. Her sails were all set as she plowed up along the coast, and the brisk west wind and her steam sent her along at good speed. The people on Coronado Beach were somewhat alarmed, as no notice of the Alert's arrival had been given, and it was thought that perhaps the long-looked- for Spanish privateer had appeared.
 The Alert left San Francisco on Janu- airy II to survey the proposed harbor of San Juan del Sur, the terminus of the Nicaragua canal. She is now on her way back to Mare Island, and her officers and men earnestly hope to be called into active war service.
 The first news of Dewey's victory and succeeding events was learned by Cap tain Leutze and his men upon arrival here. Newspapers were simply de- voured by the dozen. The tars sent up

MADRID, May 16.-Senor Moret. the Minister for the Colonies. to-day con- firmed the statement that any changes made in the composition of the Cabinet would be wholly in the direction of a more active war policy. He said: Re cent events have greatly increased the war spirit of the nation. The great est reliance is placed upon Admiral Cerveras squadron and upon the skill of the Spanish admiral. Cervera is not hampered by instructions and the de- tails of his plans are not even known to the Ministers

At the United States Consulate and Legation everything pertaining to the war or the probable developments in this quarter is kept profoundly secret.
 It Is reported from the Bennington that the work of cleaning, begun last Saturday, has been finished, and the vessel will at once be cleared for war. She will be painted the lead gray color she must wear in action for Uncle Sam.
 Reports have been flying thick and fast since Saturday night as to what the Hawaiian Government will do with the occupation bill now in its hands, and what proceeding will be taken with respect to the war. It is almost certain that the bill will not be put before the Legislature for the present, not before Thursday at any rate. It is equally certain that this Government will not declare it's neutrality as between the United States and Spain.
 There is being quietly organized here a company of 100 men for service with troops of the United States in case an assignment to active duty can be se- cured. It is said that reliable men of means are behind the movement, and that all the preliminary arrangements have been made. A reply to the offer made to the Secretary of War is ex pected on the 17th inst.
 The Hawaiian Government will not proclaim neutrality. This stand is taken on account of the existing rela- tons between the United States and Hawaii. The executive considers that a proclamation of neutrality would be breach of good faith.
 The Government made known its position yesterday at secret session of the Senate. It is understood that the Senators favored the stand taken by President Dole.
 It was extensively reported in the business community on the 7th that Spain, through agents here, was buying all the coal to be had in these islands. The consul for Spain denied the story and said that there was not word of truth in 1t.
 That a coal famine is imminent there can hardly be any doubt. Last week stocks were lower than in many months, scarcely 5000 tons being on hand and only one house has any coal for sale, and will only consent to sell in quantities to satisfy immediate de- mands.
 United States Consul General Hay wood has been watching the situation keenly, and has strongly fortified Americas position. He has 3600 tons of coal on hand at the present time with two cargoes af1oat, bound for this port. In less than a month the United States will have 7400 tons of coal at this port, a very respectable amount.
 There was a move on foot here the other day to place a number of Amerf can barks now plying between San Francisco and this port under the Ha- waiian flag in order to save insurance. Among the vessels which were to change flags were the s. N. Castle and the s. C. Allen. The scheme did not carry for the reason that the local un- derwriters stepped In with the an- nouncement that they will demand war rates on Hawaiian bottoms. The in s1rance men claim that Spanish cruis- CTS will not spare Hawaiian vessels on account of the strong American feel ing prevailing here.

Captain General Blanco. in dis patch from Havana, officially reiterates the Spanish version of the so-called fight between the Spanish gunboats Condo de Venadito and Nueva Espana and the vessels of the American blockading fleet. He claims that the two gunboats engaged five American ships and forced the latter to retreat, adding: T obtained the results de- sired, namely, to attract as many of the enemy's ships as possible. Yesterday morning there were only three here and now there are eleven"
 Senor Sagasta this afternoon visited the palace and formally handed to the Queen Regent the resignations of the ministry.
 The Queen Regent then charged Se- nor Sagasta to form a new Cabinet. The Premier will confer with the Presidents of the Chambers and with Senor Gamazou.

Correspondence of The Call.

HONOLULU, May 10-The steamship Rio Janeiro arrived from San Fran cisco on the 7th, bringing news of war between the United States and Spain. Captain Nichols was seen on board the Bennington shortly after he had read his dispatches and also after he had had an interview with Minister Sewall and Consul General Haywood. He said:
 T have received no orders respecting the immediate movement of my vessel If I am to leave here the department has not apprised me of the fact. My dispatches by the Rio relate merely to what is going on on the other side"
 Asked what he would do in case this Government proclaimed it's neutrality, the captain stated that that was mat ter of which he could not possibly speak at this time. He said in effect, if not plainly, that his movements in such a contingency would depend largely up- on the wishes of this Government.

 The cruiser Minneapolis is likely to be intercepted with new orders.
 CHICAGO May 16.-A special from Washington says: It Is believed to be the plan of Admiral Cervera to Keep out of the way of the battle-ships and turn his attention to the cruisers and gunboats. This he can perhaps do by reason of his superior speed. Coast cities may be attacked in pursuance of this plan.
 A special to the Journal from Wash ington says: A big surprise awaits the Spanish admiral if he sails for Mar unique. There he is apt to find new squadron, composed of the Oregon, the Marietta, the Buffalo (the Nictheroy), the Montgomery, the Yale and the St. Louis The latter have been sent by Admiral Sampson to effect a junction with Captain Clark and to remain near Martinique. Under orders the Oregon has been making rapid time since she left Bahia
 A special to the Journal from Wash ington says: Havana is short of pow der and shot 1t is to supply Blanco with ammunition for his bfg guns that the Cape Verde fleet has been ordered to take all risks to reach Cuba
 Blanco, it is asserted, wired to Mad rid that he had not enough ammunition for the guns of his harbor Notifications to last two days and that if it had to be divided with the forts protecting Havana on the land side his powder and shot supply would not last twenty four hours.
 KINGSTON, Jamaica, May 16.-Ad- vices which have just been received from Cienfuegos, Island of Cuba, say the Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes, of $500 tons, now at Santiago de Cuba, has seven boilers disabled and she is other wise so unseaworthy that she has been anchored at the harbor entrance as a guard ship.
