POLICEMAN ACCUSED OF TALKING TREASON. Charge of Disloyalty Preferred Against an Officer on the San Jose Force. SAN JOSE, May 20.—E. 8.

Prindeville with having | uttered sentiments that were disloyal | and treasonable to the United States. | Hinman alleges that Prindeville said: “They had no right to send the Maine there. She went in for trouble and she got just what she deserved. The United States has no cause to go to war with Spain, and ought to be licked.” The commission gave Prindeville ten | days in which to file a written answer. Police Sergeant Thomas F. Hughes, who went to Santa Cruz on Thursday on an excursion and is alleged to have indulged in a drunken escapade with a number of women, was suspended for ten days for leaving the city without permission.

SOL SH RIDAN. | HOW EUROPE VIEWS CERVERA’S MANEUVER. Spanish Strategists Have Forced America Into a Defensive quarters the whole story is regarded | | as a ruse designed to hurry the Spanish Government, and the spreading of it broadcast is supposed to hide sinister motives. The bulk of opinion. however, regards the news ¢3 authentic, and is | inelined to the belief that Admiral Cer- vera well knows re-enforcement is at hand and that otherwise he would not have risked beinz bottled up at San- tiago. The Daily News directs attention to the great secrecy preserved about what | is happening at the Canaries, where the cables have been seized and the censor- | ship is severe. It says: | “The question now arises whether | tlie reserve squadron from Cadiz is not already half way across the Atlantic. | One thing comes clear. The Spanish | strategists have a prearranged plan of | operation, while the Americans have | been forced by circumstances into a | defensive attitude. However, if Cer- | vera is in Santiago de Cuba it ought not to be difficult for Admiral Sampson | to find him. Thus it is possible that | there may be a big fight within a few days.” The Dafly Chronicle, on the other hand, think® Admiral Cervera has walked into a trap, from which he can- not escape, “thanks partly to the im- becllity of the Spanish Government in publishing his dispatch, which was doubtless done to avert domestic evils.” The Daily Chronicle concludes: *“As to hinted negotiations by Spain with would be an American victory, which we hope to record Monday or Tues- | day.” | The Times says editorially: “Whether publication will assist the success of tionable, but it has undoubtedly helped the new Ministers to make a favorable debut in the Cortes. Certainly the sit- | uation has increased in interest.” The Madrid correspondent of the Daily News says: ‘“Admiral Cervera's dispatch from Santiago de Cuba to ‘the Minister of Marine contained further details for the information of the Gov- ernment alone. It is pointed out here that the American plan was to gain command of the sea as a condition to future movements. Admiral Cervera’s brilliant move—reminding one of Lord Nelson’s race from the West Indies to | Trafalgar and his. escape from the French—deprives America of the com- | mand of the sea and demonstrates to the world that the blockade of Cuba Is merely nominal.” “Admiral Cervera has given the slip to two powerful fleets that have been | scouring the ocean for a fortnight in | an endeavor to catch him. All the American schemes depend thereupon. Admiral Cervera, with four ecruisers and a few destroyers, alone in the At- lantie, ignoring events in Cuba and in Porto Rico and the position of the American squadron, has outmaneu- vered, disorganized and dispersed the latter, making the Americans believe they were threatened on every side. “The torpedo-boats Azor, Rayo and Ariele steamed from Cape Verde Isi- ands to the Canarles with the utmost precautions, hugging the coast by day and covering their lights by night. The Ariele, slightly damaged, was towed by the Ciudad de Cadiz, and the trans- ports carried the smaller boats of the Vizcaya, the Almirante Oquendo, the Cristobal Colon and the Infanta Marlaj Teresa, probably because these vessels might be kept slear in view of possible battle.” - The Madrid correspondent of the Standard says: “The blockade of Cuba and Porto Rico is considered {llusionary, as Spanish warships and merchant vessels are fre- quently moving from port to port between the islands. For ex- ample, the mail steamer Alfonzo XIIT went out from San Juan de Porto Rico to meet a vessel detached from{€ -2 1road Admiral Cervera’s squadron and then continued its voyage to Spain after de- livering an important communication for the commancer. “The success of Admiral Cervera in avolding the American fleets and keep- f}% ing them on the alert excites much en- . press to thusiasm and causes the \CEMETERY 1o 'fiw harves Nyarcy Pt dq~“ BLOOKQUT nsfiLES CINCD ARVES coAL wWH P Q'Qveyt Sounclings (n Fathoms ONESEAMILE A S.CATALINgG Eor gs'rlLU' BART.TERY £ MoRrRo CASTY aLH CHART OF THE HARBOR OF SANTIAGO DE CUBA.

BERNABE AT LAST FORCED TO DEPART Goes From Canada To-Day, but Leaves Behind a Consul to @ct as Spy. NEW YORK, May 20.—A Montreal special to the Herald says: It has not been possible for Spain to postpone the departure of Senor Polo y Bernabe any longer. To-morrow he will sail with all his staff by a Domin- ion liner for Liverpool. He leaves behind, however, the Spanish Consul to try to continue gath- ering information for the Spanish Government relative to United States mili- tary and naval movements. Authorities here are closely watching the Con- sul, and he will be promptly placed under arrest if the slightest deviation from the neutrality law is detected. Senor Polo y Bernabe now practically admits that he was requested to return to Madrid, for it was learned to-night from an unimpeachable source that the Canadian Government advised his departure. Owing to the diplomatic fiction that such questions are not dealt with by the Canadian Cabinet, it was possible for our Sécretary of State to say that the Govern- ment had not interfered. The action was taken by the Governor-General, who is the Queen’s direct representative here, and who in such matters is supposed to, but never does. act without the knowledge of the Cabinet. clamor for a prompt dispatch of the reserve fleet to the front.” - FOUR BIG BUT NOT BRAVE MEN. They Fluked at Camp Tanner and Received Harsh Treatment From Comrades. CAMP TANNER, Springfleld, IIL, May 20.—Four men of the Fourth Regi- ment who at the last moment decided not to be sworn in, were pelted with mud, chased into a creek, and finally drummed out of camp amid the jeers of their late comrades. Four men of Company D, of Belleville, fell out of the ranks just as the mustering officer had the men raise their hands to be sworn in. The men refused to volun- teer their services and sneaked away amid the hisses of other members of the crack company of the Fourth Regi- ment. The four were: Walker Knolboch, Phil Martin, Adam Martin and J. L. Lenare. They were the four largest men of the company, only one of them being under 6 feet tall. ‘When the mustering of the company was completed the four members which “fluked” were followed through the rear of the camp and were first pelted with mud. The treatment gradually became more severe, and one of the fellows crled and begged for mercy. All of the four were finally pushed into the creek, and there is no telling what would have been done to them had not an officer put in an appearance and ordered the other members of the company to de- sist. The four were then drummed out of camp. All of the 150 soldiers followed the.drum and hissed the four as far as they could see them.

So the Senate Finance Committee ‘Will Devote One More Day to the War Revenue Bill. ‘WASHINGTON, May 20.—The Senate Committee on Finance finds it neces- sary to make additional amendments to the war revenue bill before proceed- ing further with the measure, and an adjournment was taken at the close of to-day’s session until Monday in order to allow the committee to devote the entire day to-morrow to this work. A session of the committee was held to- day, but there was not sufficlent time to reach a conclusion. There is no di- vision on party lines on most of the changes required, as they are largely of a technical character. The most important change which has been urged and which now seems likely to be made is that altering the tobacco schedule. It looks if the House rate of 12 cents a pound would be restored on manufactured tobacco and as if there would be a change in the schedule, as it affects cigarettes. There are some technical errors to be corrected in schedule B, regarding pro- prietary medicines. The question raised here is as to the time the stamp should be affixed, and there is much difference of opinion on this point. There is also a desire to have the mutual life insurance com- panies exempted from some of the re- quirements of the provision in regard to Insurance organizations, and a movement to restore the House pro- visions relating to the building and loan associations. It is probable other matters will be considered at to-mor- row's meeting, . e L Shoes for the Volunteers. WASHINGTON, May 20.—The com- plaints of the shoeless among the vol- unteers just brought into the army will soon be silenced, as the War Depart- ment has just placed orders for 200,- 000 pairs of soldiers’ shoes. e | STRIVING T0 LEAVE CUBA Feverish Desire of Many to Escape.

HAVANA, May 9 (via Vera Cruz, May 13).—The weight of the blockade is beginning to be felt here. Business is almost at a complete standstill, and | there is hardly any movement in the streets, which have a sort of holiday ippearance. The parks are almost de- serted, and there are very few people 0 be seen on the Plaza des Arms at | iight, although the band plays there, ind everything possible is done to keep | ip the spirits of the people. There is a feverish desire to leave the sland, and over 5000 people are booked t the office of the consignees of the rench steamer Lafayette, whichleaves nere to-day for Vera Cruz, Mexico. | | with this letter, which will be posted at | | that port. In fact, an actual panic now prevails, while, when the blockade | commenced, there was a feeling almost | of serenity among all classes. But| things have changed. The grim earn- | estness of the Americans Is steadily | forcing itself upon the minds of even the most hot-headed Spanish officers, | though the latter are working vigor- ously at the fortifications, which have been considerably strengthened and improved since the war began. The | Spaniards, it must be admitted, are preparing to fight as desperately as | possible under the circumstances. | Many families without means, desir- | ing to emigrate, are endeavoring to | borrcw money from more fortunate | people in order to pay their passage. But it is impossible to see how their | condition will be improved to any con- | siderable extent, even if they do suc- ceed in leaving the blockaded city, for they have been rendered penniltss and their chance of earning a livelihood in any foreign country is very slim. There is considerable feeling against the men who are desirous of leaving | the city, and posted on the corners of | houses all over the town you can see such notices as follows: ‘“Here are sold women’s skirts for men who are aban- doning' the island of Cuba.” There has been no disorder inthecity or in the provinces, so far as is known, though it is true people here are en- tirely ignorant of what is transpiring | at Santiago, no mail having been re- | ceived from there for some time past and the cable being in the hands of the Government and almost exclusively devoted to military operations, which are about limited to evacuating the in- terior towns and .concentrating the Spanish forces at or about the large cities. It is reported here that Santa Cruz del Sur, on the south coast of Puertc Principe, has fallen into the hands of the insurgents. If this is the case the latter now have a port at which their friends can land arms, ammunition and supplies without interference. Other important events are said to have transpired at Santa Cruz del Sur. The officers of the Spanish gunboat Cuba Espanola have reached Sancti Spiritus, province of Santa Clara, by land and are on their way to Tunas, and from there by coasting steamer to Cienfuegos. One report has it that the commander of the Cuba Espanola burned or blew -up his vessel in order to save it from falling into the hands of the insurgents. Another version of the affair says the gunboat may have been captured by the insurgents. ADVERTISEMENTS.

Brigades in the Provisional Army Corps of Volunteers. CHICKAMAUGA, May 20.—General Brooke has completed the formation of the first provisional army corps, Unit- | ed States Volunteers. The three brig- ades of the first division, under com- mand of Major GeneralWilson,are com- posed of regiments from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin. The second division, Colonel A. K. Ar- nold commanding, is drawn from | Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, In- diana, Michigan and Minnesota. The third division, Brigadier General J. S. | C. Bates commanding, draws its forces from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, | New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Min- | nesota, Missouri and Kansas. The Fourteenth Minnesota, in the second division, and the Twelfth Min- nesota, the Second Missouri and the First Kansas, in the third division, are the only regiments from west of the | Mississippi River in the first corps. Until the complement of brigadiers has been appointed, each brigade will | be in command of the senior colonel. The first corps wiil be commanded by Major-General John R. Brooke, who will also be in command of the army of the gulf. The following regiments arrived to- day: First New Hampshire Infantry, twelve companies, 1000 ofiicers and men, Colonel Robert H. Rolfe; Second Mis- to-day, Brig- | derstood; will be made provisional brig- adier of the First Brigade of the First Division of the corps. His regiment will be then assigned to the new corps, which will be commanded b General James F. Wade. Over 30.000 letters were delivered to the troops to-day. The story sent out from here to the effect that three men had been arrested with arsenic on their persons, with which it was supposed they were to poison water being used by the trocps, is a fake pure and sim- ple and was evolved from the imagina- tion of several boys who are indulging in liquor, cigarettes and other vices, and who are here as alleged corre- spondents of certain newspapers. There is not the slightest foundation for the story, all wells being under constant guard to prevent pollution as well as waste of water. | Frank McReady, Company D, | Twelfth New York, of New York City, | died to-day from heart failure while on the march from Rossville to the camp- ground in the park. . MERRITT AT WASHINGTON. | sl Consults the War Department as to the Philippine Troops. WASHINGTON, May 20. — General Wesley Merritt was at the War Depart- ment nearly all day In consultation concerning the troops which are to be allowed to him for the work he has in hand. It has been decided to give the greater portion of the Fifteenth Infan- try, now on the Pacific coast, the entire Eighteenth and Twenty-third ‘Regi- ments of infantry, two batteries from the Third Artillery and four troops of cavalry. The remainder of the expedition will be made up of volunteers. The department to-day gave orders sending the battalion of infantry from North Dakota to San Francisco to join the expedition. It is the expec- tation of the quartermaster's depart- ment to send to the Philippines a con- signment of 40,000 hammocks to be | purchased, and which are regarded as essential to the comfort of the soldiers in tropical climes. General Greely has suggested, and the President has nominated half a dozen officers for positions on the signal corps party which accompanies the ex- pedition under General Merritt. For the rank and file of the corps, recruit- ing will be resorted to in the Pacific States. At 10:30 to-night it was announced at the adjutant-general’s office that 104,000 volunteers had been mustered into the United States army. It is ex- pected that from now until the re- mainder of the 125,000 men called for have been mustered, the work will pro- souri Infantry, twelve companies, 958 ceed very slowly. ADVERTISEMENTS.
