AUSTRIA AIDING spANIARDs
Flaming to Secure Three Ships
From Greece For the
Cn,Jo
Standards,

Vienna, May "A correspondent of
the New York journal at Vienna says:
AT last the yelled hand of Austria
to light. l am able to state as
positively as can make it that Austria
is secretly aiding Spain. Today ! learn
that Greece is about to sell her three
finest warships to this government, to
be transferred to Spain in lieu of some
petty obligation of long standing.
These negotiations r being conduct
ed in the most secret manner, despite
all denials to the contrary. My infor-
nation is gotten from a source so high
MS not to permit of doubt.
The negotiations are being conduct
ed through a fourth party, a Vienna
firm of ship brokers, but this is only
another veil to conceal the concrete
truth. This firm is to pay $4,000, 900
marks. This firm, l am told, is acting
with the consent of Francis Joseph and
his cabinet and will later turn these
vessels over to Spain in n most diplo-
matte manner. The truth is out, how-
ever, and can no longer be denied. Aus,
trim, and all other European countries
as well, possibly excepting Great
Britain and Russin, are unfriendly to
the American government, as subse-
quent events will demonstrate.
The Marie Theresa, Austria's largest
torpedo ram cruiser. is being equipped
for Cuban waters. There is an ex-
change Of ideas going on between the
cabinets on the subject of instituting
a permanent international prize court.
Notwithstanding all the diplomatic
suavity existing today, you cnn rest
assured that Austria is against rs. /
have followed each and every move OF
late and reach this conclusion only af.
ter mature delibcrntion.

10 ESTABLISH CIVIL GOVERNMENT
Matanzns will BE Declared tie
Capital of Cuba as Soon MS
Troops Land.

Washington. May 2.--The program
for the conquest of Cuba by establish
ing a base of operations for the rcgu-
lar army and forming a junction with
the insurgent forces under Gomez,
which was announced in these dis
patches, was under general discussion
today. The bombardment of Matan-
zas is interpreted as the first move in
opening a pathway into Cuba, al
though it may develop that the land
ing of the troops will be effected at
some other quarter when the time
comes for action.
The plan of forming u junction with
Gomez confemplates not only the pro-
visioning and equipping of the insur-
gent army, but also the establishment
by Gomez of a civil government in Ma
tanzas. 1t will be declared the capital
of the Island of Cuba. The Cuban army
is to be concentrated, the capital de-
clared, the civil government fully es-
tablished, under the protection of our
fleet, and the army to be provisioned
and equipped by the United States.
Information that the Spanish fleet
has sailed from the Cape Verde islands
is received with satisfaction. Its not
thought that this fleet can afford to re-
turn to the Canaries and remain in
port there while we are landing in
G,iba supplies for Gorncz's army to en-
able him to pen up the Spanish forces
i'll Havana from the island side, as they
are now cut off from relief by sea.
A distinguished official who has been
watching every move with great inter-
est, and has been OH the inside for in
formation, says that the comparative
calm will be broken suddenly and gem
eral war will come with a crash.

Key West, May 4.--One of the most
important captures made since the
outbreak of hostilitics was that of the
Spanish Argonauta by the gunboat
Nashville last Friday, news of which
reached here last night when the
ship arrived. The Argonauta had on
board Colonel Corijo of the Third
Spanish cavalry, his lieutenant, n sur
geon, a major and ten privates and
non-commissioned officers. All We're
held as prisoners Of war. The steamer
also carried Il large cargo of arms and
ammunition. She ~ bound from Ba>
tabnno, Spain, for Cienfuegos. Her
capture was exciting and occurred in
this way:
The Nashville, the Marblehead and
the Eagle left the station on the north.
coast OH last Monday to blockade Glen
fuegos, arriving at the latter place on
Thur:day. They spent the day C
noitering, and the next morning, in or
der to get better information, steamed
close to the mouth of the harbor OF
Cienfuegos. All We're cleared for ac-
ton.
At about 10 o'clock smoke was seen
rising On the western horizon and the
Nashville put On all speed and steamed
in that direction. Twenty minutes
later she put two shots across the bow
of the coming stamer, which promptly
hove to. Ensign Kuenzli was sent with
Il prize crew of nine and took posses
sion of the %Spaniard. Learning that
Spanish soldiers We're on board word
was given to send them to the Nash
Vile Immediately as prisoners of war,
and this was done.
Arrangements were then made to
transfer the passengers and non-com-
butants to the shore. The women and
children were placed in the first boat
and under cover of a flag of truce were
soon bound toward the entrance to
Cienfuegos. A second crew took the
other passengers and landed them
about 1910 o'clock. The Eagle hoist
ed a signal conveying the intelligence
that she had been fired upon by Span
ish boats coming out of the river. The
Eagle Immediately returned the fire
with her six Founders and held her
ground until the Marblehead came up.
Roth then fired %hrnadside up the en-
trance to the river. The boats coming
down were two torpedo boats and one
torpedo boat destroyer. After twenty
minutes firing by the Eagle, the last
two of which We're participated in by
the Marblehead, the Spanish boats
ceased firing and it is considered GER
tain that they We're damaged.
The Nashville brought in the pris-
oncrs of war last night and the Mar
blehead is conveying the prize, which,
with her convoy, was expected to IT.

SENDING SUPPLIES TO DEWEY.

lEF Fslar NTH (,onl dsr

Washington, May 4-secretary Long
has taken immediate measures to re-
leive the United States fleet in the Pa
cifc of any embarrassment it might
feel for the want Of coal. Orders were
telegraphed the government authori-
ties at San Francisco to select two of
the swiftest ships in that port, load
them with coal and dispatch them at
once to the relief Of Commodore Dew
ey's squadron.
AS China and Japan have delayed
making declarations of neutrality
some experts in international law hold
the United States may still obtain coal
in eastern ports. Commodore Dewey's
achievements, however, has caused the
administration to feel that the govern
ment should not hesitate to send him
supplies ut once without waiting to
speculate on what eastern ports may
be open to him.

Crushing Spanish Defeat
LONDON. May 3s-yvhiie 1t is quite cleafI
that the Spanish squadron has suffered q
crushing defeat, the dispatches leave u
tine intensely interesting question whether
the United States squadron has suffered
material damage. All news thus far comes
from Spanish sources. but 1t seems evident
that Commodore Dewey has not captured
Manila. Unless he is able to make an
Other. attack and capture the town he will
be In an awkward position, having no base
upon9which to retire and to refit.
Probably. therefore, the United States
squadron will be obliged to make for San
Francisco. as the entrance to Manila bay
is heavily mined with torpedoes. Commo-
dore Dewey displayed great pluck and
daring in making for h inner harbor.
According to private adviees received
from Madrid, the United States cruiser

INVASION OF cuBA POSTPONED
War Vessels Will Annihua,e the
Spanish Fleet First md Then

the Army Will Move.
Washington, May 4.-Cuba's inya-
sion by the American army has been
hurried, as q result of ascertaining the
direction taken by the Spanish squad
ron, which sailed from Cape Verde
islands last Friday.
Official information received by the
navy department confirms the dispatch
published announcing that the Span
ish fotilla had headed for Puerto Rico.
Pending the result of the naval COM
bat which will undoubtedly follow,
Secretary Alger has definitely deter
mined to withhold the dispatch of the
army of invasion into Cuba.
Secretaries Long and Alger were at
their respective departments confer
ring with their naval and military adj
visers in regard to the plan of cam
.paign, which should be followed by
this government, in view of the uneN-
'peeted development in connection with
the coming of the Spanish men of wal
to.American waters.
The members OF the naval war board
also considered the matter and Captain
a. S. Crowninshield, chief of the bu-
reau OF navigation and senior member
of the naval war board, and Major Gen
sral Nelson A. Miles, commanding the
army, We're in consultation. Captain
Crowninshield has been at his desk
the greater part of the day consider
ing the various important naval mat
tres and his clear and forceful views
have had great weight with the naval
var board and the department in de-
termining the course hat should be
laken to meet the danger that is i'm
pending.
Suppose a strong army We're
thrown into Cuba,' said an official of
The department., land the Spanish fleet
should be successful in defeating the
American forces. The result would be
that the Spanish navy and Captain
General Blanco's forces would join in
discriminating the invading troops
md Spain would be able to gain n VIC
..ory which would be disastrous.
THE wise course to pursue, and I
am glad that Secretary Alger has
adopted the sensible view of not tax
ing chances, is for the army to await
The defeat of the Spanish men of war,
and when this is accomplished, the
safe occupation of Cuba is assured"
The intention to delay the dispatch
Of n n invading force into Cuba does
aot affect the expedition which it is
proposed to send to that island during
the next week. That expedition will
take to the Cubans large supplies of
arms and ammunition, and the war de-
partment will then await develop
ments, meanwhile continuing to mo-
Billie the troops and preparing for the
greater invasion to come later. Secre-
tary Alger, in commenting on the ac-
ton Of locating the Spanish fleet, said:
1T was c~ommendable and patriotic
enterprise that dictated this action.
The discovery has rendered the coun-
try q service of great value"

New York, May "a Washington
special says that Admiral Sampson
has been ordered not to allow any ship
of his command to go near the shore
for the purpose Of drawing the fire
from the Spanish batteries in order to
determine the location. The frequent
running in shore of ships of the fleet,
particularly of the torpedo bouts. is
regarded in official circles here as u
great risk and ~indiscreet, as the Span
iards may be withholding the fire of
the big guns whiting for an opportun-
ity to pop American cruisers when
they draw near shore. Reports from
Tie fleet are to the effect that every
man on shipboard is anxious for n real
engagement to begin and wish to at
tack Havana.

New York, May 3.-President Nc
kinley has had several conferences
with heads of departments. He is
much exercised over the fact that news

Heroic measures are to be taken to
prevent this. Secretaries Long and Al

per men from the departments. The
president is willing for legitimate in
formation to be made public, but the
anticipating of movements results in
the furnishing of Spain information
which she should not possess.

takes 300 pounds of powder to project
