GIBRALTAR, June 27.—The trans- atlantic steamer Aifonzo XIII has ar- rived at Cadiz from the Canarles and entered the arsenal, where she is fit- ing out as a cruiser. I had an inter- view with Martinez del Rio, a Texan employed by the Navy Department at ‘Washington, who arrived at Cadiz from Paris about the last of May and stop- | ped at the Hotel Paris. He passed as & Mexican. He Is of medium height, slight and swarthy, with a heavy black mustache. He is Spanish in appear- ance and speaks Spanish perfectly. He is not connected with any newspaper and has simply spied for the Navy De- partment with wonderful success, join- ing in the hue and cry for so-called traitors and supplying Information to the Americans. He had an interview with Captain Aunon, Spanish Minister of Marine, and contributed 200 pesetas to the war fund. He was only suspected when the fleet was leaving. the fleet off and sailed for Tangler on June 17 and cabled to Washington. He is now here. He says it is his opinion that the third squadron s all bosh. The | Lepanto is the only good vessel. The ironclad Alfonso XIII is a thorough faflure, having been built wrong, and is only useful as a coast guard. He confirmed my views about the Princesa de Asturias and the Porto Rico. He leaves on Wednesday via Marseilles. He adds that he cannot discover the identity of the correspond- ent of the Herald, which he says i{s un- doubtedly the best-informed paper. CADIZ, June 27.—It is announced here that the Bpanish cruisers Vitoria and Alfonso XIII have left the arsenal and that the Caraica and Isla de Luzon are ready for their armament. It is further reported that an addi- tional force of men has been ordered employed to hasten the completion of the armored cruiser Princesa de Astu- rias.

HONGKONG, June 27.—The cruiser Princess Wilhelm left Nagasaki for Manila on June 15. This makes the fifth German warship in Manila Bay. The col- lier Wuotan, German, leaves Hongkong to-morrow for Ma- nila. The British steamer Eddie, a collier, leaves to-day.

The Spanish officlals express the hope that the third Spanish squadron will be ready for sea in five weeks. The Military Governor of Cadiz is mounting new guns and preparing a@- ditional defewses between Forts Rota and Candelaria, owing to rumors of a ‘comomplmed American invasion. | GIBRALTAR, June 27.—The third | Spanish squadron, it is announced here, | consisting of the Cardenal Cisnero, Le- | panto, Numancia, Vitoria, the monitor Puig-Cerda, three torpedo boats and | | the auxiliary steamers Meteoro, Leon | XIIT and Montserrat, commanded by | Admiral Barrosa, has been “ordered to assemble at Cadiz as early as possible.” Some of the vessels mentioned as | composing the Spanish third squadron | are very much behind the age. The | Numancia is an iron vessel bulit in | 1881, capable of steaming, according to the registers, eight knots. Her main battery consists of eight 10-inch muz- | zle-loading Armstrong guns, and her | secondary battery is composed of six | 6.2-inch quick-firine guns. | The Vitoria is a training ship of the | broadside frigate class, built in 1865 and | having a belt of five and a half inches | of old-fashioned armor. Her main bat- | tery consists of eight 9-inch muazzle- loading Armstrong guns. She may be able to steam ten knots. The monitor Pulg-Cerda is the Span- ish torpedo training ship. She mounts one 6-inch gun and two 4.7-inch bronze smooth-bores. Tt is calculated that she may steam eight knots an hour and her armor is four inches thick. Her coal supply Is so small that she would be of little or no use outside of a har- bor. The Cardenal Cisnero is a first-class armored cruiser of the most modern type, built in 1896 at a cost of $3,000,000, having an armored belt twelve inches thick, ten and one-half inches of armor over her gun positions, an armored deck two inches thick and eight tor- pedo tubes. She carries about 1200 tong of coal, was built to steam 20 knots, is of 7000 tons displacement and 15,000 in- dicated horse power, and carries two 11-inch guns, ten 10.5-inch quick-firing guns, two 2.7-inch guns, four 2.2-inch guns and four l4-inch guns and two smaller rapid-fire guns.

NEW SQUADRON FORMING | | | COMMODORE HOWELL TO TAKE | COMMAND. President McKinley To-day Will Is- | sue Proclamation Announcing the Extension of the Blockade. i Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, June 27.—The Wash- ington correspondent of the Herald | telegraphs: General Blanco and the Spanish forces in Cuba are to be cut | off from every possible source of sup- | President McKinley will to-mor- | row issue a proclamation declaring the | entire coast of Cuba to be blockaded. This proclamation will be similar in its terms to that issued by the President | on April 22 declaring the blockade of Havana and other ports. This action would have been taken earlier in the war had the Navy De- partment enough vessels at its dis- posal to maintain an effective blockade. Commodore Howell is to command the entire blockading squadron, which has been designated as the first squadron of the North Atlantic fleet. His flag- ship will be the San Francisco, which has been the flagship of the patrol squadron. The principal vessels that he will take with him are thé Colum- bia, the Minneapolis, the Topeka and the Princeton and all the torpedo-boats which have been stationed along the So certain do the authorities feel that there is no danger of a Spanish fleet crossing the Atlantic that the northern patrol squadron, which has been under command of Commodore J. A. Howell, is to be disbanded and all vessels are to go south, with the single exception of the ram Katahdin, which is to be stationed in Hampton Roads and which with the vessels of the mosquito fleet under the command of Rear Admiral Erben, retired, will be depended upon for coast defens Cruelty to Her Child.

Late Returns From an Exciting En- counter Are Pleasing to the New York Naval Militia. Special cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1§33, by James Gor- don Bennett. KBEY WEST, June 27.—The chase of a Spanish gunbecat into Cienfuegos harbor on June 13 by the Yankee re- sulted in seven Spaniards being killed and three injured, while the gunboat was so badly damaged that she had to be beached, according to advices just received here. It is not known what the name of the Spanish boat was by any one of the officers of the auxiliary cruiser, but the execution done causes great elation among both officers and crew, the latter being composed mostly of New York naval reserves. The Yan- kee was not aware of the work she had done until June 22, when a catboat containing three Cubans was picked up off Clenfuegos. On June 20 the Yankee sighted a Spanish merchantman off Casilda, but she escaped Into the harbor, and when pursuing her the Yankee was fired on by the fort and gunboat. She returned the fire, sending in fifteen shots, and although Blanco in a message to Mad- rid said that no damage was inflicted, the Yankee's sailors are positive that several Spaniards were killed, and that much injury was done to the fort. Cruising near the Isle of Pines last Saturday the Yankee captured five fishing smacks bound for Batabano. The crews were allowed to get to shore and the smacks were then burned, be- cause of the difficulty of trying to get them into one of our ports. CONFLICTING FRANCHISES. SEATTLE, June 27.—There is likely to be trouble in the near future over the building of railroads in Alaska. To-night Paul Mohr, widely known on the Pacific Coast as a rallroad promoter, arrived in Seattle direct from New York. He repre- gents the Yukon Railway Company, which has recelved a charter from the Govern- ment to build a road from Skaguay over the White Pass, a distance of fifty miles, to an arm of Lake Tagish. Another com- pany, represented by Mr. Hawkins, has 8rocured a franchise from the Town ‘'ouncil of 8| ay and s constructing a railroad over the route which Mr. Mohr 0PPOSED T0 ANNEXATION Democrats Are Against the Resolution. MANY OBJECTIONS URGED CAREER OF CONQUEST NOT THE COUNTRY’S DESTINY. Senator Stewart Alleges That Con- gress Has a Constitutional Right to Take Hawaii by Legislation. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. WASHINGTON, June 27.—At 11 o'clock this morning the Senate con- | vened and a few minutes afterward | adopted the resolution of Davis, chalr- man of the Foreign Relations Commit- tee, providing that hereafter until fur- ther action shall be taken the Senate convene daily at 11 a. m. Consideration of the Hawaiian an- nexation resolutiorn was resumed, and during the session Clay (D.) of Georgia, Roach (D.) of North Dakota and Caf- fery (D.) of Louisiana, addressed the Senate in cpposition. Caffery had not concluded his speech when the Sen- ate adjourned. The annexation of Hawali would, Clay insisted, start this country upon a career of conguest which was op- posed to the true destiny of the United States. He claimed that to make ths present war an excuse for the addi- tion of a colonizaticn policy would be a violation of the declarations made in the Cuban resolutions and would in- volve the country in tremendous diffi- culties and possibly ruin. He declared that the United States had no business to capture the Philippines, as the war had not been begun for any such pur. pose. Roach delived a carefully prepared argument against the annexation prop- osition. He advanced the novel argu- ment that the United States should not annex the islands, as their exist- ence was problematical. They were liable to be swallowed up by the sea in an earthquake. Roach maintained that if annexation was to be affected by resolution, the proposition ought to be | first submitted to the Hawaiians them- | selves for ratification. Any other | course would tend to destroy the very foundations of our Government by a subversion of this Government which is based upon the consent of the gov- erned. The messages of the President relat- | ing to Naval Constructor Hobson, (som mander Frank H. Newcomb and Cap- tain Hodgson were read. Caffery then began a speech in op- position” to the annexation of Hawail. He said the policy proposed was dan- gerous to the safety and perpetuity of the United States, and opposed to the fundamental principles of the Govern- ment. He then entered upon a con- stitutional argument against annexa- tion, during which he was frequently interrupted to answer questions. In response to an inquiry by Faulk- ner Caffery sald that he had never known any nation to acquire foreign territory by purely legisiative act. Stewart instanced the fact that Great Britain had acquired parts of India by act of Parllament. “But the English Parllament is om- nipotent,” suggested Spooner of Wi consin. “Does the Senator from N vada clalm that Congress is omnipo- | tent?” “Yes, it 1s,”” replied Stewart, “within | the limits of the constitution.” He | pointed out that the annexation of Ha- waii had not been perfected until Con- gress had taken action upon the ques- tion. In response to an inquiry by | Mallory of Florida Stewart maintained the Supreme Court had held repeatedly that it would not inquire into the ac- quisition of territ®ry. When the politi- cal power of the Government had taken action the transaction was closed. In resuming his remarks Caffery said that if the argument of Stewart were carried to its legitimate conclusion it would constitute Congress an absolute despotistn. At 5 o'clock Caffery, not having con- cluded his speech, yielded the floor and the Hawailan resolutions were laid aside until to-morrow. Allison called up the conference re- port on the Indian appropriation bill and asked that it be agreed to. Jones of Arkansas expressed the hope that the report might be rejected be- cause of the provision which allowed Indians to lease mineral lands on their | reservations. The report was rejected, the special grounds of objection being | ;. that stated by Jones and one stated by Pettigrew, who insisted that the Sen- ate conferees should insist upon the | free homes provision. A bill granting a right of way through the Indian Territory to the Gulf, Chickasaw and Kansas Railway Company was passed. | At 5:35 p. m., on motion of Davis, the | Senate went into executive session, and | at 5:55 adjourned. | MILES WILL TAKE CHARGE Intends to Lead the Next Expedition. PROBABLY TO PORTO RICO RE-ENFORCEMENTS FOR SHAF- TER SOON TO START. Fifteen Regiments Under Brooke at Chickamauga Will Be Sent South in Short Order. L dds Spectal Dispatch to The Call WASHINGTON, June 27.—Prepara- tions for hurrying re-enforcements to General Shafter and for the Porto tican expedition are progressing as fast as possible. General Shafter's or- ders are to send back to Tampa as many of the transports with his ex- pedition as he can spare. It was stated officially to-day that General Miles, commanding the army, would command the next expedition which leaves the United States. Just what this is to be, and where it is to go, could not be as- certained. The number of re-enforcements which are to be sent to Shafter will be an ex- pedition nearly as formidable as that which left Tampa two weeks ago. After Santiago has been reduced and captured by the American forces there will be an ample number to leave in the province to preserve order and to hold the place, while the remainder may be used for the Porto Rican ex- pedition. The officials at the War Department decline to-day to indicate where the fifteen regiments which General Brooke, commanding at Chickamauga, has been | to move | requested to have in readiness would be sent. Fernandina, Fla., has been put in readiness for a large num- ber of men, and it may be the Chicka- mauga men will go there. At Miami, further down the coast, there are about | six regiments, while at Tampa, on the Gulf coast, there are approximately 12,000 men. | CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL MILI- TARY PARK, June 2 t .

It is not known 11 begi just when the movement W General Brooke as yet has issued no or- ders except the one for immediate prep- arations. The indications are, however, that the first to go will get out Wednes- day. The two railroads leading from here to the Florida coast have scores of locomotives and hundreds of cars in waiting, and can handle the men rap- idly. The fifteen regiments under orders are the best trained and best equipped at the camp. They are the Eighth Mas- sachusetts, xteenth Pennsylvania, First West Virginia, Fifth Illinois, One Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana, TFirst New Hamnshire, Fourth Ohio, Thirty- first Michigan, Third Wisconsin, Second Wisconsin, One Hundred and Fift; eighth Indiana, Fourth Pennsylvanl First Georgia and Twelfth N Yor!
