Steamer Chartered to Bring Bsfugssa
' from Oimfnegos to this Port.
(Copyright 1898, by Associated lj'ress.)
Kingston, May 7, it p. m. (Delayed in
'tril‘nsmision)—Actlng under instruc-
tions from Washington, United States
Consul Dent has chartered the Atlas
lino steamer Adtila for the purpose of
bringing refugees from Cienfuegos to
this port. She will sail tonight and re.
turn again to Cuba on Wednesday. It
is probable that the British consul at
Cirnfucgos will take charge of Amer-
ican interests'here.
A despatch was received from Glen-
fuegos four days ago. asking for a ship.
but. there was none available and the
consul sent an urgent message two days
later. Today he asked that a ship be
sent immediately. saying he feared a
Spanish outbreak against the lives of
Americans and the prosperous Cubans.
The Cable despatches on the subject
rectllt'cd here are censored and conse-
quently give no dtails of the outbreak.
th prctitmption being that it has octptr-
red and that the ship was requested in
anticipation of the disturbance.
l-‘orly Spaniards. who arrived lli'l't"
from linvllllil. which pinto they left on
April '24. on llillll'tl the "adult cruiser
