CERVERA SURELY FAST
In Santiago Harbor, and Can’t
Get Away.
WILL HE ACCEPT BATTLE.
Commodore Schley is Outside Watching
the Trap — Ofllcial Dispatches from
Schley Expected Soon—EaSy to Whip
Cervera if He Decides to Accept Battle
—Relief Felt in Washington.
Washington, May 30.——The navy de-
partment received information Satur-
day which relieved the officials from the
anxiety and doubt they have felt for
the last few days, and satisfied them
that the American fleet under Commo-
dore Schley was outside Santiago har-
bor, and that Admiral Cervera’s squad-
ron is inside that harbor.
This information came from private
sources which naval officers regard as
thoroughly trustworthy. It is from the
same source that gave the navy depart—
ment the first information, almost a.
week ago, that the Spanish squadron
was inside Santiago harbor. This source
of information has proved trustworthy
thus far, and for that reason the news
received Saturday was accepted as con-
clusive. It did not come from any na-
val or state department officials.
There is little doubt, however, that
it will be supplemented by official ad-
vices from Commodore Schley, if in-
deed such advices are not already here,
though up to the close of office hours
{he’navy department had not bulletined
anything from Schley. The officials
were in a state of expectancy, having
learned from the press dispatches from
Kingston that the scouting vessel Har—
vard was there with reports for the de—
partment. Secretary Long went to the
review at Camp Alger in the afternoon,
Saturday, and in his absence no infor-
mation was made public.
Ofiiclals’ Anxiety Dlopelled.
Relying on the private advices receiv-
ed, naval officials feel that the entire
military situation is simplified. With
the Spaniards inside and the Americans
outside of Santiago harbor, it is said
for mischief of the
Spanish fleet are at an end. One'hlgh
official remarked that as a result of the
information received he felt ten years
younger than he did Fr.ida.y He had
been seriously apprehensive that the
Spanish fleet had succeeded in getting
away, but the information received Sat-
urday relieved his mind on that point.
rHe said that Commodore Schley could
now spare several of the ships from his
squadron to permit them to join in of-
fensive demonstrations elsewhere.
All Schley needs, it was pointed out.
is 3, small force to watch the entrance
of Santiago harbor. T110 battleships
and two cruisers would be ample for
this service, as such a. force would
largely overmatch the four armored
cruisers in the Spanish squadron. In
this way Admiral Cervera’s fleet can be
' pocketed without keeping a large num—
ber of American ships out of active
service at other points where they are
needed.
\Venther a. Factor in the Problem.
In calculating on keeping the Span-
iards penned up in this fashion the offi-
cials have taken into account the pos-
sibility that the American blockading
fleet may be dispersed by one of the
tropical cyclones that are almost due
at this season. The fleet in that case
would be obliged to run for some neu-
tral port, or make its 11 ..y by force into
one of the Cuban ports for shelter. In
either case there 111131-11 be an opportu-
nity for the Spanish fleet to escape,
providing the commanding officers were
willing to take the desperate chance of
going out in weather heavy enough to
compel the big American ironclads to
seek shelter, unless the harbor is block—
ed by scuttling barges 1n the channel.
On her way to this country the Vizcaya
passed through. some severe. weather,
almost approaching the cyclonic, and
proved that vessels of her class are able
to withstand such storms with perfect
safety.
It was a day replete with rumors,
some of them of a sensational nature,
but the reports of sanguinary battles
failed of veiification, and ultimately
plOVed to be groundless, so far as the
reports received here disclosed.
ONLY TWO REGIMENTS LEFT.
Want. to Leave Camp—Preparing for an
Athletic Tournament.
Camp Black, N. Y., May 30.—Two
regiments had a monopoly of the at-
tention of the crowds of Sunday sight-
seers, who were not deterred by the
threatening weather from storming the
camp.
The men of the First and the Forty-
seventh regiments ,which now have the
camp to themsehes, are in anything
but a pleasant frame of mind over the
piospeet of remaining in camp for an
indefinite period.
Colonel John G. Eddy o: the Forty-
seven'th said yesterday that he was all
at sea regarding the ultimate destina-
tion of his men. ,
I—le surmised, however ,that the regi-
ment, together with the First, would
be ordered to reinforce the garrisons at
some of the nearby posts, possibly eith-
er along the New Jersey or the New
England coasts.

CRUISER COLUMBIA COLLIDES.
The Cruiser Coulmbia Injured in Collis-
ion With a British Steamer.
New York, Mav 30.—The United
States cruiser Columbia'collided with
the British steamer Foscolia about 20
miles east of Fire Island, about nine
o’clOck Saturday evening. .
Captain Sands of the Columbia in-
stantly called his crew to quarters and
an_investigation was made to deter-
mine the damage done to the cruiser.
It Was found that, while a hole about
eight feet square had been punched
in the starboard quarter, it was above
the water line, and the cruiser- was in
no danger of sinking.
The Foscolla began to fill as she par--
ted from the Columbia, and seeing that
there was no hope of saving the ship.
Captain Evans had the boats launch-
ed, a_.nd he and the crew took refuge
on the Columbia.
The Foscolia is an iron screw steam—
er of 1,536 tons burden. She was built
in 1879, at Newcastle, England. London
is her home port, and Watts, Watts &
Co. her owners. ‘
The Columbia is one of the finest pro-
tected cruisers in the American navy.
She was built by the Cramps at Phil-
adelphia, at a cost of $2,725,000, and
went into commission April 23, 1894.
She is a, triple screw, protected com-
merce destroyer, with a. speed of 22
knots.
. She is 412 feet long and 58 feet 2
inches beam, with a draught of 22 feet
6 1—2 inches, and a displacement of 1375
tons. _
Her crew numbers 566 officers and
men. In her main battery are one 8-
inch breech-loading rifle, two 6-inch
and eight 4-inch rapid fire guns, sup—
plemented by a secondary battery of
twelve 6-pounder and .four l—pounder
rapid fire guns and four Gatlings.
This is the Columbia’s second col—
lision, as she ran into the 01d Domin-
ion liner Wyanvoke off Newport News,
sinking her.
MR. REED AND HAWAII.
The Speaker's Position on Annexation
Explained.
Washington, I). C., May 30.—The con-
flicting reports as to the attitude of
Speaker Reed upon present considera-
tion of the Hawaiian resolutions in the
House and the permstent rumors of ex-
isting differences between the speaker
and Republican leaders in the House
prompted Saturday the following state-
ment of the speaker's sposition. It was
furnished by one who reviewed the en~
tire situation w ti. him Saturday:
“The question 1:; 1 at of Hawaiian an-
nexation at all. i rob-ably a majority
of the Republicans of the House are
for it if obliged to vote; but many pre-
fer not to have the question up, be—
cause it will lead to delay, keep Con-
gress here all summer and prevent
them from looking after their districts,
and at the‘same time not annex Hawaii.
If the annexation bill cannot pass and
action on it will prevent speedy action
on the revenue bill, it seems bad policy
to bring it up solely to cause trouble.
If the Senate passes it under Mr.
Lodge‘s lead it will have free way in
the House. In a word, the question is
not of annexation, but of sound party’
politics. All the talk about quarrels
between Mr. Dingley and Mr. Ilitt and
the speaker is the result of ovre zeal of
those interested. The main thing is for
Congress to pass the revenue bill, make
the appropriations, avoid a. long ses-
sion, free W’ashington from local poli-
tics and leave the president and his
advisers time to prosecute the war to a
successful conclusion: Annexation will
then take care of itself.” , ,.

Temporary Grand Stand in Denver Col-

Denver, 001., May 30.-—A serious ac-
cident occurred Saturday afternoon at
City Park, by which nearly a hundred
children. ranging in age from mere ba-
bios to 12 and 14 years, were more or
less severely injured. A- temporary
grand stand had bee. 11 erected for Mem-

children had been gathered for rehear-
sal.
Suddenly a large section of the grand
stand gave way, carrymg its load of
terrified little ones to the ground, in
some instances a Elstar .ce of thirty feet.
Many were caught beneath the falling
timbers and about forty were severely
hurt, while scores were painfully bruis-
ed and scratched.
Twenty of the most seriously injured
were taken to St. Luke’s Hospital,
while the others were conveyed to their
homes in all parts of the city. It is not

—A Military Hospital to Be Established.
San Francisco, May 30.—General Mer-
ritt, who will command the American
forces'in the Philippines, has estab-
lished his headquarters in this city at
the Palace Hotel. He had a. long con-
ference wth Major General .Otis, but
will not divulge any of his plans for
the future.
General Otis Saturday took up his
residence at_ Fort Richmond, and will
have the volunteers now encamped un-
der his eye at all times. He will en-
force strict discipline in the camps from
now on.
Captain C. L. Hooper has received
instructions from Washington ordering
him to proceed to Manila by the next
transport to assume command of the
cutter Hugh McCullogh, to succeed
Captain Hodgson, who is ordered home.
Arrangements have been made by
General Otis for the eétablishment of
a military hospital near the site of Fort
Richmond. Tents will be erected for
the sick soldiers, and nurses will be al-
ways in attendance. There are many
cases of measles and bronchitis among
the soldiers, and the marine hospital,
which has been used temporarily, is in-
adequate to the demands.
Transports Ready in Ten Days.
It is not expected here that the trans-
port fleet of five vessels, which will
make up the second expedition -to go to
Manila with reinforcements for Admi-
ral Dewey, will get away for at least
ten days. The China. arrived here Sat-
urday from the Orient, and will not be
turned over to the government until to—
day.‘ The Colon is here ,and 3. films
of men will be put to work on her at
once to prepare her for the voyage. The
Zealandla. is being fitted up at her dock,
but the Centennial and the Ohio will
not arrive from Puget Sound for some
days yet. ,
It- is generally understood that the
five vessels will carry five thousand
men, which will include the Pennsyl-
vania, Colorado and Minnesota. regi-
ments, the Seventh regiment of this
state and the Eighteenth and Twenty-
third regulars, now on the way from
New Orleans. The work of repairing
the Philadelphia is being rushed at the
Mare Island navy yard, and she will
doubtless convey General Merritt and
his staff to the Philippines.
One good effect of General Merritt's
advent has already been felt. He has
ordered that troops not already sup-
plied with equipment should- befurnm
ished at once with everything necessary
to make them comfortable and ready
for active service.

In an interview Mr. Depew dwelt at
length on Anglo- American relations
and the problem confronting America.
In regard to the Philippine Islands he
said:
“The revolution of feeling in America
from distrust and hostility to cordial
friendship is the most remarkable
change of popular sentiment of the
century. A few years ago any mild
treaty of arbitration would have been
rejected. To-day a much stronger
agreement would meet with universal
approval even in the Senate.”

LIMIT OF VICTORIA’S- POWER. 1
She Is an Autocrat, but There 'Is Muck
She Cannot Do.
Considerable as are the powers of the
Queen, they are not unlimited. There
are some very curious restrictions on
the royal prerogative. The Queen can-
not, for instance, communicate with
her subjects as can the moSt menial of
her servants; nor can 'she receive pres-
ents from her people save through of-
ficers of state or friends personally
known to her majesty.
The Queen could sell or give away
the royal navy or declare war with
Russia; but she could not spend a
'single farthing of public money with-
out the consent of Parliament. The
Queen has no power over taxation,
and could not create any new oflice
with fees attached to it. Neither could
she annex new fees to old ofiices’. She
could not increase the wages of one of
her footmen, unless she did it out of
her private funds or without exceed-
ing the allowance made to her by
Parliamefit. '
A curious curtailment of the royal
prerogative is effected by an act of
Parliament passed in the reign of
George III. This act deals with Sab-
bath breaking, and in it it is distinctly
stated that the monarch cannot pardon
offenders who have been convicted of
ascertain form of Sabbath breaking.‘
Yet her majesty could pardon 99 per,
cent. of all the prisoners in the land. '
Though no act of Parliament is com:
-plete until it has been signed by the
Queen, her majesty is subject to the'
laws that she signs, and cannot issue a.
proclamation contrary to law.
Though the Queen could recall any
subject from abroad, she cannot com-
pel a subject to leave this country;
This disability does not cease to oper-'
etc even in time of war, and, though?
at such a time the Queen could call;
upon every able man to take up arms,’
she could not force a single civilian to
leave the country, even to carry on a'
necessary war.
Though her decision is absolute after
a prisoner has been sentenced, she,
could not interfere with the course of;
justice before the sentence has been}
passed, nor could she exert any in-;
fluence over the judges. Neither couldzf
she interfere in a case of private as 011-?
posed to public wrong. , '
The Queen is the only person who:
cannot arrest a suspected felon. No}
action can be taken against her for:
breaking the law, and therefore she is:
precluded from making an arrest, asu
supposing the suspected prisoner were?
innocent, no action for false imprison-If
ment could be taken against her maj~j
esty. The law, indeed, assumes that? .
the Queen can do no wrong, which"
seems about as absurd as the legal as-f
sumption that the Queen cannot be
under age, and cannot die. 1
The Queen cannot exclude a member-
from Parliament after he has been duly.- ‘
elected, nor can she delegate the duty
of signing laws to any one.
The Queen’s power of disposing of.
territory in time of peace has been dis-'4
puted. In time of war her majesty
could hand over London to France to‘
bring the war to an end, but it seems
Clear that in time of peace her majesty
cannot subject any part of the empire
to the sway of a foreign power.——L0n~_

WHAT n‘ COSTS TO FIGHT WARSHIPS'
Nearly Half 352011 of Ammunition Used
, When a l3-Inch Gun is Fired. - _ l
. If no men were lost, if no ships were
destroyed or even damaged, it would
cost $2,000,000 or $3,000,000 for amunis
tion alone to fight a first-class battle
with modern arms and projectiles. An'
ordinary allowance of ammunition for
one of the big guns costs about as
much as the gun itself; It takes nearly
half a ton every time one of the big,
thirteen-inch guns is fired. There'
were 250 tons of powder on the Maine
when she went down, and her mag-
azines were only half filled. The big
battleships and the first-class cruisers
.should never go into action without a
supply of from] 500 to 800 tons, or, say
an average of 700 tons. There are
eleven of these battleships, whichto-
gether require 7,700 tons. Then there
the sixteen second-rate ships, which
ought to have 500 tons each in their
magazines, or a. total of 8,000 'tons;'
forty-two third—rate ships, which
would have at least 300 tons each, or
a. total of 12,600, and seven fourth-rate
ships, which should have 200 tons each,
or a total of 1,400 tons. Without count-
ing the torpedo b0ats,it requires about
30,000 tons of powder to fill the mag
azines of our navy before it would be
safe to send the ships into action.
The seacoast defenses, with their
monstrous eight, ten and twelve-inch
guns, require severtl times as much.
The four-inch rapid-fire rifle requires
sixteen pounds of powder to carry a
projectile weighing thirty-three pounds
four miles. The five-inchi-‘gun requires
twenty-five pounds, the six-inch rifle
fifty pounds, the eight-inch rifle 250
pounds, the-teniinch 500'.'pounds, and
