Thus Thwarting the Plans of Our Government HE ALSO CAN COMMUNICATE WITH THE SPANISH ADMIRAL WHEN HE TOUCHES LAND. WASHINGTON, May 18. The com plete isolation of Oeneral Blanco from the outside world is now looked upon by the leading military and naval au moniies as an essential move to be executed at the earliest possible mo ment. The pressing need of this has become more evident in the last few days, snce Blanco is known to have been in constant cable communication with the admiral of the Spanish squad ron and also with Madrid. He has thus been an intermediary between the gov ernment and the admiral. informing them of his own needs and advising them on matters of policy. The authorities here felt the need o? bringing this communication to an end and official inquiry has developed that there will be little difficulty in isolatin; Blanco if necessary steps are quickl and energetically taken. Havana's communication with the outside world is carried on by means of five distinct cable lines. Two of these run to the United States and are of course closed against General Blanco. The remain ing three cable exits from Havana are by way of Santiago on the south coast of Cuba. Havana is connected by twe land lines with Santiago and also by one shore cable with Santiago. The de parture of the cables from Cuba occurs at Santiago, two of the lines running thence to Jamaica and one to Haytl. When a message has once left Cuba by one of these three lines still open, it has no less than six different cable routes it can adopt after leaving Ja maica or Hayti. The authorities have with much labor, figured out all these various means by which Blanco can keep up communications. They are sat isfied that three cables are running to Santiago and of the routes from which all these various routes spring, and it this triple root is cut the entire sys tem of communication between Cuba and the outside will be at an end. Santiago is not strongly fortified and it is believed there will be little danger attending the cutting of the three ca bles at that point. The right to cut the cables is not doubted by the au thorities here, although most of them are British cables. When the cables at Santiago will be cut is not disclosed but there is a strong pressure towards having the work done immediately, for, until it is done. General Blanco, main tains communication with Madrid and thus is enabled to embarrass the opera tions of our military and naval forces. PIKE-ALGER Married at the Residence of Secre tary of War Aler. WASHINGTON, May 18. Under a canopy of white and pink orchids and vines, interlacexl with rosettes and loops of pink ribbon, all radiating from softly shaded electric lights, Frances Aura Alger, youngest daughter of the Secretary of War, and Charles Burrell Pike of Chicago were married at noon today at the residence of Secretary Al ger. President and Mrs. McKinley were near the wedding party during the ceremony, as were the Vice-President and Mrs. Hobart. The company was a most distinguished one and rellected, in a brilliant sense, the official wealth of the capital. The presence of so many officers of the army and navy in full dress uniforms suggested the mo mentous events in which the nation is now most interested. Among the guests were ex-Secretary and Mrs. Sherman, Secretary Day, Secretary and Mrs. Long, Secretary and Miss Bliss, Attorney General and Miss Griggs, Miss Long, ex-Postmaster General and Mrs. Gary, the Misses Gary, Postmaster General and Mrs. Smith, Secretary and Miss Wilson, the British Ambassador and Miss Paunce fote, the French ambassador,- the Ger man ambassador, Justice and Mrs. Brown, Senator Hale, Senator Hanna, Representative and Mrs. Hitt, Justice, Mrs. and Misses McKenna, and General and Miss Miles. The bride's wedding dress was heavy white satin, Marie Antoinette in style, and elaborately trimmed with pearls' and point lace. 15,000 VOLUNTEERS. All Not Able to Get Into the Park s Yet.

Every newspaper correspondent at Tampa has been of ficially notified that in future no men tion must be made of small expeditions similar to that of the Gussie last week, until the success of the expedition has been assured. WASHINGTON, May 18. There has been no meeting yet between th hos tile fleets in the neighborhood of Cuba. That was all that could be learned at the Navy Department. If the depart ment is aware of the location of thj Spanish squadron, it is carefully con cealing the fact. By this time, suppos ing Schley to have gone southward, ht should be somewhere off the coast ol Cuba, and it may be he has Joined forces with Sampson. Naval officers are hoping the Spanish squadron really passed through the straits of Yucatan into the Gulf of Mexico, for, in that case, there is a reasonable ex pec tat ion that by combined action on part of Sampson and Schley, one start ing at the Windward passage and the Florida straits and the other passing around to the South of Cuba and com ing into Yucatan straits the Spaniards can be effectively snared. The safety of the Oregon is now felt to be assured and there is reason to be lieve the department was informed to day that she had joined Sampson's tieet WHERE IS THE FLEET? (Copyright Associated Press.) PORT AU PRINCE, May 18 Nothing is known here of the reports from Porto Plata, San Domingo, to the effect that the Spanish Cape Verde squadron has arrived at Porto Rico. The latest news which reached Port Au Prince concern ing the Spanish warships simply con firmed the report that they left Cura- coa, Dutch West Indies, Sunday after noon last for an unknown destination. SUPREME COURT. Opinions Handed Down Bun- combe Cases. The North Carolina Supreme court has handed down opinion in the Bun combe cases of Miller vs. Alexander and Bingham school vs. Gray, revers ing the former and affirming the lat ter. The case of C. H. Miller vs. J. M. Alexander was one of especial impor tance to Asheville in a commercial sense, as it involved valuable proper ty in the heart of the city, property which would undoubtedly have been greatly improved had the decision been in the plaintiff's favor. The legislature of 1U passed an act at the instance ot C. H. Miner ana wite ! and all living parties interested in property under the will of James M. Smith, authorizing and directing Mr. Miller, who was designated as commis sioner of the general assembly, to make onveyance of a part or the whole of the property, the greater portion of which is bounded by North Main, Col lege and Spruce streets. The act direct ed Mr. Miller to reinvest te proceeds, such reinvestment to remain and 'go under the provisions of the will of James M. Smith. The object of the legislature was to unfetter the title of the property trom certain provisions in the will, prohibit- ng the conveyance of the property during the lifetime of the life tenant, Mrs. E. A. Smith. After the act was passed, Mr. Miller contracted for the sale of a piece ot and in the southern part of the city to J. M. Alexander. Later, a lriendiy suit was made up, Mr. Alexander de nying the right of Mr. Miller under the act to make the conveyance, and re fusing to pay the purchase money. Mr. Miller sued for the purchase money, Mr. Alexander setting up in his answer the act of the legislature and alleging hat it was unconstitutional and void. The case was heard on an agreed state of facts, and Judge Norwood de- ided that the act was valid Mr. Mil- er was represented by Whitson & Keith. Considerable interest is felt here in the dec ision in the case of Bingham school vs. Principal Gray of the Wil liam Bingham school in Orange county. Maj. Robert Bingham of the Asheville Bingham school sought an injunction restraining the Orange county institu tion from the use of the name "Bing ham" in its title. The decision was against the plaintiff. TO CHARLOTTE. Asheville Party to Attend the 20th of May Exercises.

Thompson State chairman and a central committee, all Butler men save one. The Populist State convention was In session all night and adjourned at 6 o'clock this morning.

Butler says he has "whipped Skinner out of his boots." WHO ARE BISHOPS? Seems to Have Been a Hot Time in General Conference. BALTIMORE, May 18. Rev. Dr. Warren A. Candler of Oxford, Ga., and Rev. Dr. H. C. Morrison of Nashville, Tenn., were elected bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, yesterday by the general conference.

The bat tleship Aalabama was successfully launched at Cramp's ship yard at 12: it) today. The Aalabama is the first to be launched of the three new battleships of her type, the other two being the Illinois and Wisconsin.

In the Alabama type the water line armor is carried clear forward; her pro tective deck, instead of being submerg ed as in the former ships, is raised to ihe level-of the top belt by the slopes at each side, the same as in protected cruisers. The main battex'y of the Al aba ma type consists of lour 13-inch guns in turrets and 14 6-inch rapid fir ing guns, of which 10 are mounted on Uie decks, eight in a broadside between the turrets and two firing straight iOrwarJ of the fore turret on the gun deck. Four are mounted in a small re doubt on the casements deck, two on each side. The bioadside of 6-irich guns, instead of being mounted in projecting spon sons, are mounted in recess ports in or der to secure an extensive train for ward and abaft the beam. The general dimensions ot the Alabama class are. Lttsnata over aii, oil leet; .TJrtsidth, 7- eet; tretboard lorwaru, 'M teetVUee- ooard, abalt tile atler lunct, IS let? nclies; draught, 3 tect t inches: dis placement, li,u2U tons.
