............. .....—* CARRANZA, THE SPANISH SPY. BkvtifTItiatod Both Cuurtlu ud Brttl»h Statute*, Will Be Compelled to Do. part from the Dominion. Washington. Jane Steps hare seen taken by "which it is expected that Lieut. Carranza, who has conducted the Spanish spy system from Montreal, with his associate, Senor da Bose, former first secretary of the Spanish legation iiere, will be expelled from Canada within the next few days unless they adopt their own means to leave before an international question is raised as to their presence in Canada. The Carranza letter, detailing his spy system, was communicated to the British ambassador, Sir Julian Pauncefote, together with all other information bearing on the operations of the Spanish officials in Canada. The ambassador was quick to act in the mat* ter, and without waiting the slow processes of the mail, he cabled the entire matter to the foreign office. No doubt is entertained as to the speedy action of the authorities at London, now that a specific case has been made out against the Spanish officials in Canada. They would have taken the initiative ere this had there been anything more than suspicion as to the operations ol Carranza and Du Bose. But the Car* ranza letter was proof positive, and and the British officials moved quickly , and on their own volition toward se* curing adequate redress. The state department has not cabled Ambassador liay, not deeming it necessary to do more than simply lay the facts before the British ambassador here. It is expected that Lord Salisbury will call the attention of the Spanish government to the undesirability of having Messrs. Carranza and Du liosc remain in Canada longer, as their opeiations are so obviously hostile to the United States. This, however, maj become unnecessary if the Spapish officials withdraw from Canada at once, as there appears to be no disposition to prosecute them or to give them an enforced expulsion so long as they are willing to close their operations and depart. The British statutes, as well as those of Canada, have specific provision against the use of British or Canadian territory by foreigners temporarily seeking asylum there as the base of hostile operations against countries with which Great Britain and her colonies are at peace. About a week ago au effort was made by the Spanish officials to enlist the sympathy of the British embassy here with an alleged British subject imprisoned at Tampa, who, it is now be lieved, is the Spanish spy alluded to in Lieut. Carranza’s letter. A Canadian lawyer arrived here last Sunday apd made a personal appeal to Sir J uliau 1'auncefote to intervene in behalf of the man imprisoned at Tampa. There were suspicious circurn stances connected with the case, and before acting the ambassador asked for a specific recital of all these facta. These were not forthcoming, and were uot pushed. When the Carranza letter appeared, stating that oue of his spies had been caught at Tampa, it became apparent for the first time that the ef- | forts towards intervention were de

; signed to secure the releaseof this spy. | Aside from the official action of the j British government, it is quite likely that the Canadian officials will take some action against Carrauza and Du | Bose under the Canadian statutes. When Sir Louis Davies, minister oi | marine of the Canadian cabinet, was j liere recently, he spoke of the deter* | initiation of the Canadian authorities [ to maintain the strictest neutrality | and to see that the Carranza party did ! not use Canady as a base for any hos- | tile operations against the United i Mates, lie referred to the difficulty : in making out a specific case against i them, saying that it was not Enough ; to present mere suspicion. He said, how ever, * hat if .such a case was sej cured, the Canadian authorities would | act promptly in putting an end to the I abuse of hospitality shown by the | Spanish officials. The Carranza letter : j furnished just such a case as Sir Louis ; i Davies referred to. aud leaves no doubt j that the Dominion government, as well | as the authorities in London, will set | that the Carranza*Du Bose party uo : longer abuse their residence in Canada i | SPANISH CABINET COUNCIL. i Try tag to tlx tract Comfort from the hit* lutiuo bjr Deceit'll^ Them* mIim as to the Tacts.

It was declared tiiat the situations oi the American squadrons and of the insurgents at Manila were "unsatisfactory owing to disease;” that the mission of Aguinaido had failed, and that the native troops were favorable tc Spain.

EL MORRO FORT BATTERED TO ATOMS. iM>)> and Puts Garda Batteries Badlj Used Up—One of the Spanish Crnlsen Took a Hand In the Scrap, Bat Discreet* Ip Retired Behind a Headland When It Hot Too Hot. 4a American Story—A Different Face on the Affair. New York, June 1.—An Evening Journal special from Cape Haytien aaya: The torpedo boat Porter arrived at Mole St. Nicolas at 1 a. m. with dinpatches for Washington. She left immediately, but before going to sea the following story of the bombardment of Santiago de Cuba was obtained by your correspondent at tbe Mole: The American squadron, augmented by the torpedo boat Porter, the auxiliary cruiser, and the protected cruiser New Orleans, approached the entrance to tbe harbor of Santiago at about 12:3* p. m., tbe Iowa leading. Inside the entrance to the harbo? was seen one of the warships of Cer* vera's fleet, stripped for action. As the American fleet drew near thw New Orleans was detached, and steamed forward ahead of the Iowa, Texas and Massachusetts. One of ths fortifications opened fire on her, and she replied, the other two ships directing the fire at the battery on the Punta Gorda within the harbor and to westward of the position occupied by the. Spanish ship. The latter replied to the fire and* immediately became a target for the American ships engaged in the battle. She retired behind a protecting headland, aad was not seen again daring the engagement The Iowa, directed by Capt “Fighting llob” Evans; the Massachusetts, Capt F. J. Uigginson; the Texas, Capt J. W. Philip, and the New Orleans, Capt Wm. M. Folger, kept up their terrific fire against the Morro, Socapa and Punta Gordo fortifications for two hours, their projectiles, of enormous size, doing tremendous damage to the defenses of the harbor. The masonry of Socapa and Morro was battered almost into dust, and tbe forms of Spanish artillerymen and in fanCry could plainly be seen flying to safety behind the neighboring hills. The auxiliary cruiser which joined Schley's fleet just before the battle took place was bit by shells from the forts, and it is thought she was seriously damaged. After seeking the protection of a jutting headland, the Spanish warships continued to fire projectiles over the hills toward the fleet, but they had no range, not even direction to their shots, and the shells fell harmlessly into the sea.

That the number of killed and wounded on the Spanish side is enor* tuous, no one doubts, for time and again the American shells hit the bat* teries squarely, and amid the flying masonry and dismantled guns the forms of men were seen. The damage done to the American fleet can not be learned, but it is not thought any person was killed, if indeed anyone was wounded. The American Squadron Suffered a Check (?* Madrid, June 1.—The minister of marine, Capt. Aunon, has received a dispatch saying the American squadron has suffered a check before Santiago de Cuba. The fire from the Spanish forts and the fleet of Admiral Cervera is alleged to have repulsed the American ships, which are said to have retreated, and to have been damaged. The Spanish fleet, it is claimed, did not suffer. Another Report by Wny of Port-an-Prlnce. Pobt-ac-Prixce, Hayti. June 1.— The following additioual details have been received here from a Spanish source, at ilavaua, of the engagement reported off Santiago de Cuba Tuesday: The Spanish batteries at first answered the lire of the American squadron in a lively manner. After 30 minutes of firing, directed in a superior manner upon the part of the American fleet, the Spanish battery began to weaken, and the American ships concentrated a violent fosilade upon E* Morro. destroying it completely. The forts at So spa and Punta Gorda fired the last shots. The Spanish loss must, have been considerable. Details are lacking as to the American loss. The Spaniards pretend to have struck the American vessels several times, but thisj^ormntion is accepted here under At four o'clock Tuesday afternoon the American squadron ceased firing. At that time there was no Spanish vessel in sight. No news has been received therefrom the dispatch boats. ■punish Account of thu BoasbsnUuont of Santiago.

MORE FIGHTING AT SANTIAGO. Tk* Batteries Silenced, and the American Auxiliary Cruiser Blerrimae Sunk in the Channel. IfoHT-AU-PMXCE, June 4.—Yesterdaj morning1 at eight o’clock, the American squadron again began a bombardment of the fortifications of Santiago, and a lively caunonade*ensued for two hours, which silenced the Spanish batteries, j An American vessel, the Merrimac, described in the advices from Santiago as an auxiliary cruiser, making a dash to force the entrance, succeeded in passing the first line of defenses, but was torpedoed about 500 feet up the channel. • She went down “perpendicularly* (a pic). An officer, an engineer and six seamen were taken prisoners. The number of victims is unknown. Only the funnel and masts of the sunken vessel can be seen. There is great excitement in the city. A part of the population assisted in the fighting on the heights. Everybody is astound* sd at the audacity of the American vessel. The American squadron was cruis* ing all the while in the offing. AN AUXILIARY CRUISER SUNK. --- speulsh Reports of a Second Attack on the Fortifications at Santiago de Cuba. Cafe Haytiex, Hai ti, June 4.—Tht American fleet, according to advices received by cable from Santiago de Cuba, the cable being under Spanish control, opened fire again at three o'clock yesterday morning (Friday) on the fortifications and war ships. The cannonade was well sustained until 4 a. in. One of the United States auxiliary cruisers “well armed" attempted to force the passage into the harbor. The Spanish allowed the cruiser to cross the first line of torpedoes, but before she arrived at the second line they discharged at her a torpedo, which broke a great hole in her side i and caused her to sink almost instantly, bow first. The name of the vessel is not known, nor is the number of victims reported. One chief engineer and six sailors were made prisoners by the Spj .niards. [It will be noted that there is an irnj portant discrepancy as to the time at I which the bombardment is said j to have begun Firday morning be- | tween the dispatches from Cape j llaytien and Port-au-Princ>i, the | former saying at throe o'clock t.nd the | latter at eight. It is possible this I arises from a confusion between the j figures three and eight.] ___ | FROM ENGLISH SOURCES. The Report that the Cedis Fie it He* Sailed for the West ludlcH Considered Reliable.

Kingston, Jamaica. June 4.—The in- | formation that the Cadiz squadrou hat ; sailed comes from English sources anc seems trustworthy. On the ocher haud cienor de Castro the Spanish consul, declares that ht does not think the Cadiz squadron ha» sailed for the West Indies, as he be ; lieves Admiral Cerveracan defend, him- : self alone. | According to reports the Cadiz fleet I of Spain consists of the battleship Pe- | layo, the armored cruisers Carlos V. and Alfonso XIII.. the auxiliary cruisers, Kapido and Patriots, the j cruisers Ciudad de Cadiz, Leon XIIL, | Buenos Ayres and Antonio Lopez, aev- ! eral auxiliary cruisers of a smaller type | than the Kapido, and the Patriots, the torpedo destroyers Audaz, Proserpina and Destructor and possibly the armored cruiser Cardinal de Cisneros. But so many misleading reports regarding the composition and strength of the Cadiz licet have been circulated that it is almost impossible | to refer to its composition in more than general terms. However, there is only one battleship in th_* Spanish fleet and she is not very formidable. FORWARD MOVEMENT BEGUN. --—. | Troops from Mobile Going to the FroatJublUnt at the Pruapect of Meeting the Enemy. Mobile. Ala., Juue 4.—The forward movement from Mobile began yesterday afternoon, the first part of the j Fourth army eorps to leave camp was i the Second cavalry and this was quickly ! followed by the Third iufuutry and the Twentieth infantry. Tuese troops marched to and through the city to the vvjharf front, where the afternoon and £art of the night were consumed in taking passage ou the fivg transports awaiting to receive them. The men are jubilant over going to the front. They had become quite weary of camp life, and are anxious to meet the enemy. The geoerai impression among the men is that the expedition is bound for Porto Kioo. The Eleventh and Nineteenth infantry were ordered to leave by ra»l for Tampa, but the order was countermanded. They, with the Fifth cavalry and one battalion of the Second cavalry, will probably leave to day. IPS TOO LATE, GENTLEMEN. Then. Too, If th« Xosorgooto Should Aw copt th« Proposition.

When Last Heard, From She war at l>ateb Harbor—Unsuccessful Attempt to Connect with Lieut. Jar- la. Seattle, Wash., June 4 — The schooner Brixam brings news that the revenue cutter Bear, conveying retie 1 to file imprisoned whalers, is at Dutch I Harbor. The officers of the Bear recently attempted to form a connection with the overland party under Lieut. Jarvis, but got only 30C miles north of Dutch Harbor. There the ice was found packed solid across Behring sea and all further plans had to be abandoned. No news has been received from Jarvis. A hurricane, which seriously thr- atened the entire shipping of that locality, swept over Dutch Harbor and llualaska on May 33. During the storm the sehooner Helen waa driven ashore, but was not seriously injured, j The ship Wachuaett dragged her an- j chors and but for the timely assistance of the Bear the bark Harry Morse would have been hurled upon the rocks and broken to pieces. According to the officers of the Britain, the schooner Fischer Brothers had arrived at Unalaska after au exciting experience in Behring sea. She tried to rush her way through the ice pack some 300 miles north of Unalaska, and for a time it looked as if she would | never get out. For nearly a week she was in the ice pack unable to get away. A sudden wind opened up a channte.' and released her.

A new through Sleeping Car line between St. Louis and Colorado Springs will be established over the Wabash-Kocb Island Short Line, May' 15th, 1898. The time will be the fastest made with through service between these two points by many hours. A through Sleeper will leave St. Louis on Wabash tram No. 3, at 9.*20 a. m:, arriving at Colorado Springs the next morning at 11.00, with a direct connection for Denver, arriving at 11.30 a. m. This is the fastest regular through service ever established between St. Louis and Colorado. Returning, the Sleeper will , leave Colorado Springs at 2.45 p. m., and arrive at St. Louis the next evening at 6.15. Patrons of this line will avoid the only unpleasant feature heretofore attendant on Colorado travel, inasmuch as the trip through Missouri’s fertile fields will now be by daylight. and the unattractive portion of Kansas will be traversed during the night, with the mountain scenery to greet the tourists in the morning.
