In turn, eight divisions of three

To eouip an army of 100.000 roen in

on their own soil was no small under

By Telegraph to Uie Morning 8 tar.
Key West, Fla., May 25 Key
West is suffering from a rcig-n of
terror. Two murders were committed
during Uie night and the best citizens
feel that unless the town is promptly
put under martial law a state of riot
may prevail at any moment.
The police force consists of three
men, with grievances of their own,
and with streets and grog-shops in
fested with turbulent jackies, negroes
and roughs of many classes, the danger
to Uie respectable classes is no mean
one.
In consequence of last night's blood
shed. Commander Fosythe has already
asked for a guard of twenty-five
marines to protect the naval station
and government dock, and strong
efforts are being made by citizens to
have martial law declared.
William Carne, a seaman on the
auxiliary gunboat Morrill, and Vlad
imir Ix-huitsky a sailor on another
gunboat, were attacked last night in a
luban coffee shop by Charles Kit
chen, a local negro. Ixrhuitsky was
killed and Carne badly wounded.
Kitchen made his escape. The cause
of the trouble is said to have been
Kitchen's jealousy of his negro wife.
John J. Dorsey, a reputable ma
chinist of Manateo, Fla.. about 55
vears of age. was found dead earlv
this morning in a vacant lot near the
Key West Hotel. Robbery is supposed
to have led to Uie murder. Charles
Wallace, the leader of a gang of
young Key West toughs Iras been ar
restetl. charged with the crime. With
in the past month three so-called
"peace guardiaus" have resigned
office, complaining that they nave
long been paid in city scrip at the rate
of fifty dollars ier month which is
discounted at one-half. A new trio of
policemen were obtained and these
now show signs of rebellion, declaring
that they are suffering under like
disadvantages and will resign.
Situation Serious.
'. t. P. M. -What threatens to de
velop into an ugly affair, if not a
lynching, occurred to-night, aud at
this writing the situation is decidedly
serious.
A report was circulated that a ma
rine had leen shot and killed by a ne
gro. The rejvort reached the sailors
and marines, the latter of whom were
enjoying their first day's liberty since
arriving here, and they formed into
two battalions and marched on the
jail with loaded revolvers.
Sheriff Knight met them at the door
and parleyed with them, assuring
them that the negro was not in cus
lxly. The invaders drew off a short
distance and selected two blue-jackets
ami one marine to go through the
jail. The sheriff was powerless to re
sist and made no attempt to do so.
Twelve negroes were found in the jail,
but as the identity of the supposed
murderer was a mystery, tho party
was halted. Some of the more turbu
lent spirits suggested a lynching of a
negro on principle, but the sheriff
promising to find and produce the as
sailant if the story were true, the party
left and scoured the town in the nope
of coming upon their man.

Washington, May 25. Late this
afternoon Senator Allison, Iowa, in
charge of the war revenue bill in the
Senate, endeavored to secure unani
mous consent that' a final vote on the
measure be taken on Saturday next
before adjournment
Senator Teller, Colorado, objected.
Senator Daniel, Virginia, in reite
rating Senator Teller's objection,
sounded the first note of delay against
the measure that has been heard since
the debate upon it began. He de
clared that there was no emergency
which 'required the immediate passage
of the bill, and frankly an
nounced that if certain provisions of
the bill put into it by the
Democrats on Uie Finance Committee
were not agreed to by the
Senate, he would offer some
amendments to the measure that prob
ably would precipitate debate. He
strongly intimated, too, that if the
war should be prolonged, it might not
be necessary to provide so much reve
nue as the pending bill would raise,
and he indicated a desire to await de
velopments that in all likelihood were
close at hand before passing upon a
bill that meant so much to the people
as mis one. ine general leatures of
Uie pending bill were debated to-day
by Seuatoi"bewart and Senator Allen
and Senator Caff ery. Before the reve
nue bill was taken up this morning,
the pension deficiency appropriation
bill w:is passed. It earned nearly
$9,000,000. A joint resolution was
also adopted directing the Secretary
of War to report to Congress plans for
the improvement of Tampa, Fla.
At S o'clock the Senate went into
executive session, and then adjdurned.

After the passage of the bill grant

Cervera's Fleet
At the cluae of the day at the Navy
IVpartment the situation as to the
tfeeta, both American and Spanish, was
precisely as tt was this morning, ao
far as th officials know, the only
notable difrerenc bem; an ap
parent strengthening; of the con
t.dence of the ot?icvals in their be
lief that Cervera's squadron ia lyinjr in
the nliatro harbor. In this hope and
belief, the officials found great com
fort, knowiog the abilities of the Amer
ican naval commanders in Cuban
waters to keep the Spanish Admiral
bottled up in his narrow necked har
bor until Uiey shall surrender or be
starved out If Cervera is actually at
bay the officials feel not the slightest
amrehenion of anv relief com in cr to
him from the outside in the shape of
another Spanish squadron from Cat
du The reason for this belief
is their anqueationed ability
to hold Cervera in check with
only a few veanrla, per hap a
couple of monitors and torpedo boats,
thus leaving the remainder of the btjr
armored fleet to litke care of any rein
foreeinenU that mig-ht attempt to come
from Spain to CVrvera' aid. The force
that could be spared for this service
without endangering the integrity of
the blockade at Havana or permitting
the ess-ape of Cervera would be much
larger than the entire Spanish naval
force now in Spanish waters capable
ol rvussing- the Atlantic.

"At ."t o'clock on the morning of

She was followed almost immediately
by live Vncaya. the Alacante Oquendo,

The feeling among the jackies and
the marines ngainst the negro popula
tion is intense, aggravated oy the
assault of Charles Kitchen, a negro, on
a seaman, which resulted in the killing
of the latter, and the sailors are look
ing for Kitchen as well as the other
mysterious negro.
111. M. On leaving the jail, the
party met another jackie, who thought
he could identify the supposed mur
derer, another march on the jail took
place, and the man looked over the
colored prisoners, but failed to identify-
anv of them. Some of the cooler
heads then advised giving the sheriff
a chance to get Kitchen. The party
eventually dispersed at a late hour
without further trouble, although de
termined to avenge the assaults and
indignities from negroes. The latter
are keeping well under cover to-night.

New York, May 2G. A cablegram
from Manila bay, via Hong Kong, to
the Krening Telegram says:
"Arriving here yesterday, on the
McCulloch, I found the American
squadron anchored off Cavite, except
one ship, which was patrolling the
outside bay. The foreign warships
Inimortalitie, English; Brinx, French;
Irene Commeron, German, and two
Japanese warships were anchored off
the city of Manila. The Japanese
gnnlxiat Maniva had arrived the night
before, and at noon saluted the fort
with twenty-one guns, which salute
was returned by the shore battery.
"This is the first salute the Spanish
Hag has received since the blockade
was established. One Japanese vessel
leaves to-morrow for liong Kong.
"General Aguinaldo and twelve
other insurgents, who came from
Hong Kong in the McCulloch, landed
at Cavite yesterday.
"They tell me the rebels have taken
possession of Stfbig and have thirty
thousand men ready to fight against
the Spaniards as soon as they can get
arms. A report was brought to the
flagship last night that the rebels had
attacked tho Spanish outposts of Ma
nila. The Spaniards were found to
have turned the guns of their shore
batteries landward, for protection
against the insurgents, and the rebels
made nothing more than a reconnois
sanee in force.
"It is also reported that the lieuten
ant who commanded the Calloa here
has been shot after a trial by a sum
mary court martial and that Admiral
Montejo has also been sentenced by
court martial. These rumors come
through the crews of the merchant ves
sels still here, but I do not have much
confidence in the accuracy of the re
ports.
By Cable to the Morning Star.
London, May 25. The Madrid
correspondent of the Daily Mail
says "Official telegrams from Cuba
confirm . the report that Rear Ad
miral Sampson and Commodore
Schley, with their combined squad
rons are now in front of San
tiago de Cuba, blockading Admiral
Cervera. Ministers consider that San
tiago possesses sufficient defences to
render null and void any aggressive
action he enemy may take.
"The position of the American
squadron will cause the government to
take immediate action, though it is un
known as yet what form this action
will assume."
A special dispatch from Madrid
says: "There has been an active
exchange of dispatches between
the government and the 'authori
ties at Havana and San Juan
de Porto Rico on the subject of send
ing coal and provisions to Santiago
de Cuba. It is alleged that Admiral
Cervera has wired confirming the re
port that Santiago de Cuba is cut off

Tampa. Fla., May 25. Major Gen
era. Fitzhugh Lee, accompanied by
Colonel Curtis Guild and his staff, ar
rived in Tampa to-night and establish
ed temporary headquarters at the Tam
pa Bay hotel.
General Lee had nothing to say on
the general situation.

seen a paper for two days and don't
know what has happened. All I know
is that I was sent here from "Washing

here was fully explained to General
Lee. To morrow will be spent by the

and friends, but he smilingly turned
first to the pretty Cuban women, the
wives and daughters of prominent
refugees,, who were anxious to gr'et
him.

Chinese Shave Frequently With a Wet
Towel to Soften the Face.
Considering that the inhabitants of
the middle kingdom use the razor more
than any other nation in tho world, it
is passing strange that they never dis
covered the advantages of lathering first,
says the Windsor Magazine. Dabbing a
warm wet cloth on the chin or the scalp
is a poor substitute for soap. Hair cut
ting, as we practice it in the west, is
to them "all unknown, " except in a
few localities where foreigners aro
numerous. A traveler when in the prov
ince of Kwuntuiig sent for a man to
shear his locks, and he begun nibbling
away at ma scalp without troubling
about such a trifling as a comb. At tho
third snip the mau stopped him and
asked him if he had ever cut a foreign
er's hair before. Oh, yes. When was
that? Oh, last year, when be cut the
hair of a German customs officer who
had died.
But in the matter of shaving there
are few more deft considering the
latherless way he does it and the fact
that be nses a little three cornered soft
iron knife as a razor than the Chinese
figaro. Was not the chief of all his
tribe ennobled by an emperor ages back
for dexterously cleaving a mosquito that
had settled on the imperial nose? One
advantage gained by patronizing the
Chinese barber in the case of Euro
peans is he doesn't mind coming to
your room every morning and shaving
you before you wash and dress. But the
native also generally waits to be rasee
before washing, even if he has to wait
a week.

Matliew'g House.
Some years ago a San Francisco
banker maintained a country house
upon what wore supposed to be en
tirely original lines. It was, how
ever, a poor imitation of the estab
lishment of Mr. Mathew of Thomas
ton, Ireland, who lived in the ear
lier years of the last century. Mr.
Mathew inherited an annual income
of about $125,000. For many years
he lived abroad in a very frugal
manner in order to accumulate an
amount that would enable him to
indulge in a form of hospitality in
his own country in harmony with
the plan he had 4evised. His house
in Ireland might be compared in
size with a modern hotel. Each of
those he wanted to visit him had a
suit of apartments and ordered his
meals at the hour that best suited
him. Ho could eat alone or he
could invite others to join him. All
the visitors hunted, shot, fished,
played billiards or cards at will,
and all brought their own horses.
There was a regular bar where
drinks were served without stint.
Mr. Mathew as host completely
effaced himself. He mingled with
his visitors as one whose stay was
as definitely fixed as theirs. In fact,
he conducted his house as if it were
a. hotel, with the exception that all
was without charge. No servant
was allowed to accept a tip. Viola
tion of this rulo was followed by
the instant dismissal of the offend
er. This establishment, unlike other
country houses of Ireland of the
period, was conducted with perfect
order and method and without
waste. His hospitality was lavish
and attracted to Mr. Mathew all of
the more famous men of the time.
The great sum that he had put aside
during his residence abroad enabled
him to indulge his hospitable in
stincts until he died. New York

Die Occasion When the Clever Woman
Was Surprised anil Confounded.
The brightest time for Mrs. Carlyle's
talk was during dinner. Day after day
she poured forth witty stories, most of
which I have almost forgotten, but in
any case it Would be desecration to at
tempt to repeat almost any of them.
The characteristics of living men and
women wero.often dashod off in a few
pithy words, not without satirical
touches. George Henry Lewes was not
one of her favorites, -bnt I noted with
pleasure the way in which she spoke of
the wonderful transformation effected
by the influence on him of Georgo Eliot.
One of her experiences was when vis
iting a shoemaker's shop to make a pur
chase, at the time when sandaled shoes
were worn, like thoso represented in
the original illustrations of Dickens.
The sandals were of black ribbon, uncut
nntil the shoes were worn by the pur
chaser at home. Mrs. Carlylo tried on
many shoes, and each time that a shoe
proved unsuitable she unconsciously
slung it on to her left arm. Being at
last suited, and having paid her bill,
she left the shop, and had walked a lit
tle way when she heard a shout behind
her. Looking back she saw the shop
man running' after her, much excited
and insisting on her returning the stolen
.shoes. Looking down, she saw to her
surprise a number of shoes dangliDg
from her arm. The man indignantly
asked her name and address. Her as
tonishment was such that her namo was
obliterated for a time from her memory
and all she could recollect was her
maiden namo, "Miss Welsh. " The hu
mor in this tale was enhanced to thoso
who knew her from its being so much
put of keeping with her usual shrewd
ness and self possession that no ono
could have predicted it of her.
Her death scene, a year Jater, when
"Mr. Silvester," as she named her
coachman, during a drive, tnrned anJ
looked into the carriage surprised at
.receiving no orders as to route and saw
her sitting, lifeless, with a pet dog on
her knee, has often risen to my
thoughts.
My strongest impression was of the
deep mutual love evidently subsisting
between Mrs. Carlylo and her husband.
Every subject we discussed seomod to
recall thoughts of him. If the piano
were opened, his song of the "blue day"
was referred to or asked for; if any
literary man were mentioned, his opin
ion of him was given, or a 6tory was
told showing his relation to other men
of note. I felt as if listening to the love
talk of a. youthful engaged couple, and
when, in later days, Fronde opened up
a floodgate of misunderstanding I felt
assured there was a radical misconcep
tion of tho true state of affairs. New
