KEY WEST, May —The investiga- tion of the case of the suspected Span- passenger on the steamer Panama, was continued to-day by the Federal au- thorities, and brought out some new facts. A search of Jiminez's effects re- vealed a cipher letter, which turned out to be the key to fifty-nine charts of the Atlantic Coast from Maine to Florida, | particular minuteness being shown as | to the vicinity of orfolk, New York, Boston and Providence harbors and the inlets around Tampa. All the Flor- ida keys and the Tortugas are also ex- plained in detail. A rigorous search failed to locate the charts. Jiminez swears that he was an en- gineer in the Spanish navy in Cuban waters, but ran away in 1890, since which time he has lived in New York at 77 Fourth avenue. An old sword and a palr of new epaulets found in his trunk, he said, were a part of his equipment. Passengers on the Panama say they recognize him as a lieutenant of the Spanish navy.

MANILA BAY (via Hongkong), May 26.—Arriving here yesterday on the McCulloch, I found the American squadron anchored off Cavite, except one ship, which was patrolling out- side the bay. Foreign warships the Immortalite (English), the Bruix (French), the Irene and Xoermoran (French)' the Irene and Koermeoran (German), and the Japanese Naniwa and Akitsushima, were anchored off the city of Manila. The Naniwa had ar- rived the night before and at noon sa- luted the port with twenty-one guns, which salute was returned by the shore battery. This is the first salute the Spanish flag has received from any warships since the blockade was estab- lished. One Japanese vessel leaves to- morrow for Hongkong.

A report was brought to the flagship last night that the rebels had attacked the Spanish outposts of Manila. The Spaniards were found to have turned the guns of their shore batteries land- ward for action against the insurgents, and the rebels made nothing more than a reconnoissance in force. It is reported that the lieutenant who commanded the Callao, recently ecap- tured, has been shot after a trial by summary court-martial, and that Ad- miral Montijo has also been sentenced by court-martial. These rumors come through the crews of merchant vessels still here, but I do not have much con- fidence in the accuracy of the reports. P et SHERRER UNDER THE BAN.

AEEl s FINDS A MAN CRAWLING TOWARD POWDER WORKS Night Watchman at Sacramento Shoots Five Times at a Suspi- clous Character. SACRAMENTO, Ma For several weeks past special officers have been employed to guard the poswder houses owned by local firms just outside the city limits as a precautionary measure against being blown up by Spanish spies. Chief of Police Dwyer to-day received word from one of the guards, J. M. Harlow, that on Monday night he saw a man crawling across a field toward one of the powder houses. He com- manded him to halt, but the fellow failed to do so, and the guard took after | him and fired five shots from his rifle at him. Harlow says he heard the man yell after the third shot, but the fugitive made his escape in the dark- ness. PR REPORT OF RIOTING AT MANILA DENIED Hongkong Correspondent Says Per- fect Order Is Being Maintained in the City. HONGKONG, May 2.—Dispatches have been telegraphed back from Eu- rope which announce that Manila is going through a serious crisis and a famine riot is threatened. These sen- sational stories are absolutely untrue. I have received reliable advices from Manila, and all agree there is perfect order there. English residents of Manila believe the insurgents will use the rifles sup- plied them by the Spanish Government to aid the American troops.
