The Torpedo-Boat Destructor Blown Up in the Straits of Gibraltar. A FORMIDABLE EXPEDITION. To be Dispatched by Spain to the Phil ippine Islands Large Squadron at Cadiz Ready to Sail Serious Riots in Spanish Towns. By Cable to the Morning Star. 1 ,1 xdon May 1 1 A. special dispatch from Madrid says it is officially dec-hired that the government of Spain lias no intention of allowing Rear Ad miral Dewey to rest upon jhis laurels. About forty thousand men of tlio reserves of the Spanish army have been ordered to rejoin the col or and' it is added that a form idable expedition is being organized for dispatch to the Philippine islands. London, May 11. A dispatch to the Globe from Gibraltar, says a British steamer which has just arrived there, . (ports officially, that she passed yes terday evening a Spanish torpedo-boat destroyer which was guarding Algeci ras bay and straits. Shortly after the steamer passed her, all the lights of the destroyer were suddenly extin guished, a terrific explosion followed immediately and the destroyer dis appeared. The disaster, the dispatch adds, was apparently caused by the explosion of the boilers of the torpedo-boat des troyer. It is feared that all on board of her have perished. ' f i London, May 11. The Spanish tor pedo boat destroyer reported blown up near Gibraltar is probably the Destruc tor. . . ': .", The Destructor is classed as a tor pedo gunboat. She was built of steet at Clyde Bank in 1887, and was 192 feet, six inches long. She was of 458 tons displacement, had 25 feet beam and drew seven feet of water. The Destructor was driven by two pro pellers, had 3,S00 horse power and was estimated to have a speed of about 22 knots. Her armament consisted of one JS.S -inch' gun, four 6-pounders quick firers, and four Maxim guns. She had three torpedo tubes, carried over 100 tons of coal and had a crew of fifty- five men. The Squadron at Cadiz. London, May 11. The Qlobe pub lishes this afternoon a dispatch from Cadiz, dated Saturday last, which said the following ships, which were all ready for sea with the exception of the Pelayo, were at that port: The Pelayo, Vitoria, Carlos V., Almirante Oquen- do, Vizcaya, Maria Teresa, Cristobal ,Colon, Alfonso XHL, Pluton, Pro serpina, Osado, Aiidaz; Furor, Terror, and also several torpedo boats, trans ports and the Normania and Colum bia, formerly of the Hamburg-American line, which have been renamed, Patriots and Rapido, respectively. The Globe's correspondent added that he believed the squadron would sail.ou Wednesday (to-day) and that a number of troops would leave for the Canary islands on May 15th, while three battalions of marines were quar tered at San Fernando ready for em barkation. A Serious Riot. Madrid, May II. Noon A serious riot lias taken plfcce at Logrono, cap ital of the Spanish province of that warn 3, on the Ebrb, sixty miles from Burgos. The grain and provision stores were attacked and pillaged by rioters, who included numbers 'of wo men, armed with axes, choppers and cudgels. The cavalry charged the mob, but the soldiers were repulsed by a determined onslaught made upon tliem by the women. London, May 11. A special dispatch from Madrid says a mob burned a huge grain warehouse there early this morning. The structure is reported to be a total loss. London, May 12. The Madrid cor respondent of the Daily Mail says: "Admiral Bermejo, Minister of Marine, denies that the Cape Verde squadron lias returned to Cadiz. He affirms that 'this ijeet at the present moment is where it ought to be, according to the instrtyeti6nsgiven it.'" Londof, May 12. The Madrid cor respondent of the Daily Chronicle says: "In the Cortes a special budget of 20000,000 pounds demanded with a tax on land public securities. The sinking was suspended. "A patriotic syndicate has been formed in Madrid which war was and fund just will borrow a million pesetas to buy grain at Marseilles and Antwerp, as all the provinces but one have refused to send more grain :to Madrid.

AMMUNITION FOR DEWEY'S FLEET. Cruiser Charleston Ordered to Start at Once from San Fran cisco for Manila. WILL TAKE A FEW TROOPS. The City of Pe kin and Other Ships with Supplies, and Reinforcements Will Soon Follow the Charleston. A Two Weeks Trip. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, May 11. The Navy Department has decided to have the cruiser Charleston start at once on its relief mission to Admiral Dewey's fleet at Manila. The orders issued anticipate the departure of the Charleston from Sari! Franciseo to day, if it is possible to get the ammu nition and stores aboard, and she will leave without waiting to convoy the City of Pekin and other ships loaded with supplies! The orders to the com mandant of the navy yard at Mare Island are to put on board the Charles ton all the ammunition she will carry so long as her steaming capacity is not retarded. It is the understanding here that at least 150 tons of ammuni tion can be put on board. By extra ordinary efforts on the part of the authorities here, all the powder, shot and shell requisite for this relief ex- gidition have been assembled at San rancisco. Owing to the hurried departure of the Charleston it is not expected that she will wait for any considerable number of troops, as these will follow later on the other relief ships. She has a crew of about 300 men and this probably will be augmented bv a marine guard of a few hundred. The Charleston is a protected cruiser of 3,730 .tons displacement, built of steel and mounts eight guns in her maiu battery. She nas twin screws and an indicated horse-power of 6666. The authorities here nardly expect her to make more than thirteen knots with her heavy stock of coal, ammuni tion and supplies. Her coal bunkers are rather low, so that she will prob ably have to stop at Honolulu to re; coal. Her trip to Manila will take about twp weeks. The City of Pekin, which wll follow her, is a very fleet merchantmrn, capable of being pushed to eighteen knots or more, so that even with the handicap she has of starting several days after the Charleston there is a prospect she may . overhaul her in the race across the Pacific and reach Manila first. This wfll depend, how ever, on how soon the City of Pekin can he made ready for a start. Satur day is the earliest date mentioned. Valejo, Cal., May 11. Orders have been received from Washington for the cruiser Charleston to proceed immediately to Manila without wait ing for the transport fleet. No actual date was set for the sailing of the Charleston, but she will probably leave for the Philippines either to-morrow or Friday. ARRIVED AT KEY WEST The Ambulance Ship Solace, With Sur geons, Nurses and Every Appli ance for the Wounded. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Key West, Fla., May 11. The am bulance ship Solace having on board four surgeons, eight nurses, the finest surgical appliances and accommoda tions for one hundred wounded, has arrived here from Hampton Roads. The Solace was approved this morn ing, under hurry orders, and Comman der Dunlap has alreadv reported to the commodore that he is ready to move as soon as an emergency arises During the trip to this port the So lace encountered a hurricane which lasted forty hours. She weathered it beautifully and crossed the bar here after midnight iast night. She has on board many delicacies for the sick It is said here that if the report that the Spanish fleet has returned to Spain proves to be correct, an active move ment against Cuba may occur within forty-eight hours. It is possible that Rear Admiral Sampson at Porto Rico and Commodore Remey here may strike simultaneously Naval officers here believe the Cuban defences at any point, except Havana, could be reduced by the ships now here and on the Cuban sta tion in half an hour Whooping Cough.

The Navy Department Has Strong Doubts as to the Report That It Has Re turned to Cadiz Is Without Advices from Sampson. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. , . Washington, May 11 The army movement on Cuba is now fairly launched and to-day's news developed a concerted effort all along the line to begin aggressive operations on a big scale for the ejectment of the Spanish troops and government from the Pearl of the Antilles. An order given this afternoon by the War Departmentfor the purchase of 5,000,000 rations is an earnest of the scale on which prepara tions are making for the invasion of SpainVterritory. Of this vast quan tity one-f ourth is to go to the Philip pines, by way of San Francisco, and the balance to Cuba. Far some reason that was not dis- coverable, there appeared to be A Temporary Check In the practical working out 6f the this plans of the War Department for Cuban movement. After everything had been made ready for his departure last night, General Miles was de tained and some time to-day the rather loomtv orospect of an indefinite post- ponment of the first military expedi tion was presented. .Later on, how ever, the obstacle, whatever it was, was removed, and it was again an nounced that the commanding general with a numerous staff would leave Washington to-morrow, direct for Tampa. The department has made a great nany changes in the original programme laiddown for the- concen tration; and as indicated in these dispatches yesterday many bodies of volunteers that were originally slaledjb one of the great concentra tion camps have found themselves suddenly under orders to proceed di rect to Southern points, so that soon volunteers from the K.ast and middle West will be moving swiftly to Florida and the-pulf , while from the far West the cars wul be carrying troops to San Francisco. To-day's news in connec tion with the renewal of General Miles order to Tampa, is pretty substantial vidence of a very early movement of troops in strong force to Cuba, while v!ie Philippine programme has been :le finitely fixed for some days. The Cape Verde Fleet. Contrary to expectations the day passed at the Navy Department with out news from Admiral Sampson. Notwithstanding what appears to be confirmatory newspaper advices re lative to the presence of the bpanish Gape Verde fleet at Cadiz, the Navy Department officials are beginning to entertain strong doubt of the accuracy of the report. It was not possible during the course of the day to obtain anytmng use an omciai connrmauon of the official report received yester day, but this is not to be wondered at in view of the success with which the Spanish government has so far met, m keeping secret the movements of its naval ships. Until news come from Admiral Sampson of lis doings and around Porto Rico, it cannot be said definitely 'what programme shall be decided on as regards that island. Admiral Sampson. It has been suggested that some of the troops now being hurried to the Cif coast mav be intended to co operate with Admiral Sampson in the Juan de Porto Rico and the subsequent occupation of the island. It is felt that the admiral will bemaratner disagree able plight, supposing even that he managed to reduce the forts' with. his fleet, if he were obliged to remain there in occupation of the place, for lack of troops, when he might other wise be urgently needed either on the Cuban coast or somewhere in the At lantic to meet the Spanish fleet. An evidence of the wisdom of hav ing the troops' transports near at hand in such cases is shown by the predica ment Admiral Dewey is believed to be in at Manila, where, for lack of troops, he is unable to occupy the town and to prevent atrocities, which the insurgents are capable of working UDon their helpless Spanish toes The revival or ooudis as to me whereabouts of the Cape Verde squad ron caused a renewal of anxiety as to the Oregon, . The ship was at Bahia at last accounts and is believed to have .started a day or two ago up the Bra ziliati coast to loin Sampson's squad von in the West Indies, bhe will have to make a run of 3,000 miles, which will occupy the Oregon about ten davs only, as she is in hue fettle and averaged thirteen knots an hour on the long run around trom San Francisco. However, it is believ ed that Admiral Sampson is as well posted as any one in Washington as to the conditions existing in the West Indies and he doubtless will do what ever is necessary in uu juugmcui to safeguard the ship in her run up the coast. The Navy Department. During the past month the bureau of construction and repair of the Navy Department spent one million and a Quarter dollars in the repair and outfitting of ships, and none of this money went to new construction. This is said to be largest expenditure in this particular line made by the equipment bureau, even during the days of the civil J war. The Navy De partment felt obliged to decline the offer made by some wealthy New York gentlemen headed Iby O. H. P. Belmont to build and equip a torpedo boat for the use of the government during the war. Possibly the declination, was brought about through the condition attached to the offer that the boat should be commanded by Mr. Belmont, for with out, the least reflection upon that gentleman the naval officials have been obliged to decline to establish the precedent of appointing civilians to command in this way. f The practice in some respects would approach privateering, which is dis tinctly prohibited by the agreement we have voluntarily entered into and proclaimed to the world. Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt to day turned over the duties of Assist ant Secretary of the Navy to Charles H. Allen, of Massachusetts, and the latter held a reception at the depart ment to aH the employes. The rush orders to the Charleston, which went out to-day, will have the result, possi bly, of obliging the department to send another vessel, probably the Philadelphia, along with the troop transports which are expected to go out from San Francisco about the end of the week, since it is very unusual in time of war to send such troops without a warship for convoy. The evidence in the case proves Hood's Sarsaparilla cures scrofula, salt rheum, boils, humors and all erup tions, t THE ELECTION OF SENATORS. Resolution Providing for Amend ment to the Constitution Adopted by the House. RAILWAY ARBITRATION BILL. Discussed in the Senate Resolution for Securing Coaling Stations Adopted. House Refused to Concur in Post- office By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, May ll.-KFor more than three hours-this afternoon the Senate discussed what is known as the Railway Arbitration bill a measure designed to adjust, by means of volun tary arbitration, differences that may arise between railroad officials and their employes. Mr. Kyle, Republi can, of South Dakota, in charge of the bill, offered a number of amendments which were agreed to. One of the amendments provides that nothing in the bill should prevent an employer from reducing the num ber of employes if the exigencies of business required, such reduction. To meet points raised -by Senator Allen and Senator Turner, Senator .Hoar offered an amendment, provid ing that no injunction or other legal process shall be issued whici will com pel the performance by aby laborer against his will of contract for per sonal labor or service. " The amend ment was accepted by Senator Kyle. The bill was not finished to-iday. Senator Chandler, of New Haum- smre, ottered the lollowing resolution which was adopted : That the committee on Naval Af- fairs be directed to make inquiry con cerning the expedience of securing and establishing for the United States additional coaling stations at suitable points in foreign waters; and as to each coaling station which may be deemed necessary, to ascertain what should be the dimensions, ' the condi tions and expenses of occup ancy and maintenance' and the best method of securing the right to maintain such station, and report by bill or other wiser At 5.35 P. M. the Senate went into executive session, and at 5.45 P. M. adjourned. House of Representatives. After refusing to-day to consider the benate bill restricting immigration. the House took up and discussed the House resolution to submit to the States a proposition to amend the con stitution so as to provide for the elec tion of Senators by a direct vote. The amendment proposed in tjhe resolu tion, as reported to the ' House, left it to the discretion of the States to elect their Senators by direct vote or through their legislatures, but an amendment by Mr. Underwood, Ala bama, making selection "by popular vote mandatory was adopted, atod the resolution was then passed. Mr. Hill, of Connecticut, insisted that a two-thirds vote of the entire membership of the House was neces sary for the passage of the bill. Mr. Grow, Lacey and Bailey opposed this view and cited precedents to show that the two-thirds vote of the House con templated by the constitution was a two thirds of a quorum since "the House" meant a body capable of do ing business, and that involved no more than a quorum. . The Speaker's ruling sustained the contention. Earlier in the day Mr. Loud called up the Postoffice Appropriation bill as passed yesterday by the Senate and upon his motion the House refused to concur in the Senate amendments and asked a conference. Messrs. Loud, Smith, Illinois, and Swanson, Vir ginia, were named as conferees for the House. The House set apart May 21st for eulogies upon the late Senator James Z. George of Mississippi, and at 5.08 P. M. adjourned. C. F. & Y. V. R. R. CASE. Further Litigation Likely to Ensue in the. U. S. Court. Baltimore Sun : Further litigation, it is said, will likely ensue in tne case of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad. The decision rendered last week, in which the claim made by the Baltimore reorganization committee that the property should be soMas an entirety was upheld by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals was generally thought to have ended the litigation. It is now stated that ,the New York committee, which wants the property sold by divisions, will endeavor to get the United States Supreme Court to take up the case on a further appeal. Information has been received in Bal timore that the New York committee has given such instructions to its counsel. GEN. WESLEY MERR1TT.
