EXPLORATION HIS” OBJEG
A Feeling ThatJVe Have Been Duped.
Hourly Gaining—Fears Are Now En-
tert-ained That Robson and His Men
Are Not Well Treated—1th Thought
CerVera Sent His Captain to Sampson
to Find Out now the Merrimac Lay.
Washington, June 20.—Oflicials of the
navy department. are awakening to
wha‘ they believe was a. clever ruse
on Admiral Cervera’s part and their
confidences in his assurances that Lieu-
tenant Hobson and his men are being
well cared for is weakening.
A feeling is hourly gaining ground
that the visit of Captain Ovi-deo under
a flag of «truce to the flagship New
York afte rthe sinking of the coilier
Merrlmac in the channel of Santiago
de Cuba was not made because of
Spanish admiration of American brav-
ery, but because the Spanish admiral
wanted to learn just what his chances
were for overcoming the barrier that
penned his fleet in the harbor.
With this, too, there is a feeling of
uneasiness for the brave men who were
taken prisoners anl are suffered 1to be
confined now in Morro Castle.
The sincerity of the assurances that
the prisoners are being kindly treated
is being doubted more and more. If
all these encouraging assurances be
true, if Captain Ovideo really did visit
Admiral Sampson for the sole purpose
of telling him that Hobson and his
men were safe, than there has been a
display of Spanish gallantry that most
officials intimately acquainted with the
true inwardness of Spanish character
say is anything but characteristic.
' The real purpose of the visit to the
American flagship, they say, was to
ascertain if there was any possible
chance for the escape of the'Spanish
fleet. .
First reports of the capture of the
Merrimac’s crew said that Admiral
Cervera had communicated with the
American admiral and offered to ex-
change the prisoners. In'later reports
Admiral Cervera has said that the mat-
ter of an exchange was something with
which 'he had nothing to do. ‘It’ rested-
entirely with General Blanco. The
Spanish officers are now finding Hob-
aon’aihd’hIS men an'excelulent‘ protec-
rti-on for Morro Castle against Ameri-
can ‘shells. _
'- No’w that all the facts of Captain
Ovideo's visit are being made known
'here, it is pretty certain that all of
Cervera's actions in the Hobson affair
are being viewed with suspicion.
' Admiral'Sampson, when Captain Ovi-
deo Iapprciached’with‘ 5a flag of truce.
signalled his ships to form in their most
formidable array. He wanted to give
the Spanish’ofilcerian object lesson he
would not soon forget. .The- Spanish
captain, after his conference with the
American admiral, stood for a moment
at the rail before descending the iron
ladder of the New York, >5Wept his
'lkee‘nl glances over the great American
bfiectuand made a show of being deeply
immense. ‘ This is now. thought to
have been a clever pieCe of stage play
on his part. - - .
.The tug Colon, which had brought
the captain out for the interview, loi-
tered over the wreck of the Merrimac.
Another small boat, too, that had ac-
companied the Colon, stood near the
wreck. While the Spanish
was talking with Admiral .Sampson
keen Spanish eyes were making a care-
ful examnation of the barrier.
Captain Ovideo had left the Colon
to take the New York's launch. When
he boarded his tug it was noticed to'
pass the Wreck on the oppdslte side
from that which it took ' when it
brought the captain out. The small
boat also passed in on the opposite side.
Whether the Spaniards have decided,
aflter «their careful examination of the'
wreck, there is .no‘wvay'oflremoving it.
or will try to pass, remninsto be seen.
In the meantime fears are entertained
for the safety of Hobson and his gal-
lant men.
The Ants." Landed.
Kingston. Jamaica, June 20.—When
the'auxlliary cruiser Yosemite left here
suddenly on Friday it was with the
firm conviction of the officers that the.
army whose start had been so long de-
layed would finally arrive at Guantana-
mo Sunday, and reiteve ‘the little band
of marines whose valor has been put. to
unnecessarily hard tests.
There is every reason to believe that
the dispatch boats ‘will within thenext
few days bring stories of more impor-
tant a’ct'rons-thamhave yet occurred in.
the war. In the meantime the younger
naval officers have been loudly com-
plaining because the fleet commander
has permitted nothing except the
throwing of a few shells at inferior for-
tifications. Excessive Caution is mark-
ing every step. The escape of the Pu-
risima Concepcion frcm‘ the Yosemite
is discussed on all sides here. There
is little doubt that the neutrality laws
were violated in spirit, though not in
the letter in Jamaica, one of the few
places where war proves an unmixed
benefit. Several large steamers have
taken cargoes of American food for
Spanish soldiers in Cub-a. The Purisi-
ma Concepcion had a Spanish officer
aboard superintending purchases.
A device for changing the flag, which
all Spanish vessels are anxious to do,
through a sail, with strings attached,
makes it possible for a steamer really
Spanish to openly load provisions and
proceed to no-n-blockaded ports in per-
fect safety.

Tampa. Fla., June 20.—Informa.tion

poses a full settlement Tuesday it

camp are things of theipast.

night, passing Morro Castle, and in-
flicted much damage upon the fort,
Castle Zocopa, on the east shore. ‘No
, one was hurt on board the Texas.
I News from Guantanamo Bay up to
‘ Saturday morning shows that naval
tperations there continue most active
I and with the advantage on the side of
the. ”Americans... Friday morning, at
‘9.30 o'clock, the American vessels re;
sumed the bombardment of Guanta-
namo town and in the course of one
and one-half hours threw into it sev-
enty-five shells, a great majority of
which appeared to have been. effective.
Six ofthese shells were 13-inch projec-
tiles, eight 8-inch and the rest emailed.
The men in .the tops could see many
of the shells strike in the very midst
of the} town, while others fell among
the shipping and commercial buildings
near the? water’s edge. j
Smoke arose in dense clouds from the
places where the shells fell, and it is
believed that he damage both by im-
pact of the missiles and consequent
confiagralion is very great.
on Thursday evening the ships had
thrown four 13-inch and nine 8-inch
shells into the town. This bombard-
ment began at 4 o'blcck and ended at
5. Much smoke and confusion were
discerned in Guantanamo during its
progress. Crowds of people and troops
of soldiers we're seen-moving about and
the vessels“ in port hurriedly changed
their anchorage. , 4
Nobody was killed in any of these ac-
tions on the American ships. ‘

Decision Ila-chad a; a Council in tho
‘ ' ' White House.
Washington, "June 20.‘—-The original
plans for. the conduct of the‘war against
Spain will be adhered to and will be
pushed 'wit-h wage-r and energy. That
decision was reached a; a council], of
‘war' held at the White House Satur-
day, at which President McKinley,-Sec-
retaries Alger and Long, GeneralMlles,
Assistant Secretary Melkeljohn,‘ Admi-
ral Sicard and Captain- .Mdhan- ; Were
present. Of. course some slight modifi-
cations ‘wiil be made necessary by the
changesthat have occurred- since the
beginning of hostilities, butJthese will
not affect the general plan of opera-
tions. Gen. Miles returned from- Flor-
ld'a. with a store of. information re-
specting the condition of the troops,
the: difficulties towbe. expected in the
progress of the campaign and the needs
of transportation and terminal facili-
ties, which will be freely availed of to
correct the defects in_lthe. present sys-
tem developed by experience. The con-
ference was entirely harmonious. The
only reason Gen. ,Mlles did not visit
the White House Friday was the pres-
ident’s desire that his advisers should
have thebenefit of the, general's recital
of his observations at first hand.
The stories of friction between Gen.
Miles and his Official superior-s are de-
clared absurd and Saturday’s proceed-
ings gave ample evidence that the ut-
m'ost harmony prevails between the
president and the military branch of
the government.
New Bunion Ambassador Arrives.
Washington, June 20,—C-ount Cassinl,
the new Russian ambassador to the
United States, has arrived here and

rectly from Paris, where the was at the
head of the St. Peters-burg embassy
for a number of years. He succeeds
Count Cantacazune, who went home
some months ago. Mr. De Woll'ant,
who has been charge d’affaires in the
interim, will start at once for Russia.

Washington, June 20.——Although many
of the ships heretofore carrying mail
to the Hawaiian islands have been cal-
led into the government service, the
navy and war departments have done
what they can to continue the service.
It has been ordered that all naval
vessels and transports proceeding from
San Francisco t-o the Philippine islands
shall carry mail to the Hawaiian is-
lands in addition to «that for the forces

that this statement, together with the

sion.

Supplies for Havana.
Port Antonio, 'Jamaica, June 20.—
Well authenticated reports reach here
that Havana is receiving supplies
through Batabano, on the south side
of Cuba, opposite Havana. The sup-

the south coast of Cuba, in large ships
and are carried across at night in

the circulation offtbe wildest kind of
stories about the jealousy existing be- '

-' These tvko maladies, Hay Fever and

season of their attack, the Rose Gold

Being pathologically similar, if one is
relieved by a certain treatment, the
same treatment is more than likely to
relieve the other also. No ills to
which the human flesh is heir are
more fickle in their individual cases; ,
for there are thousands of remedies
that will help one or two cases, and 'dis-
appoint every other. But there is one
treatment that we venture to assert
will give more relief to the greater
number of cases than all the other so-
called remedies combined. Or‘this we
are prepared to submit as proof the
testimony of people who have tried it.
Note this case :
Mrs. George W. Spink, 227 ‘Friend-
ship Sn, Providence, says: “Every
year I have been troubled with the
most disagreeable colds in my head
during June, and I could seem to [get
no relief until the rose season'was
over. 7 This year I obtained a. bottle of
California Catarrh Cure at Hall &
Lyon’s, and when I felt the Ro'Se Cold
coming on, I began to use it. It gave
me relief at once, entirely removing
all traces of the Rose Cold, and I have
not been as free from this trouble for
years, as I have been this season from
using California Catarrh Cure.”
Remember you are more likely to
ob relief from Hay Fever by using
alifornia Catarrh Cure than by any
other means. It is sold at. all drug
stores; 50 cents; three times as much $1.
