The county commissioners have looked up the delinquent taxes in this city recently and find that there is still over $r)0,0H0 delinquent in this city, in spite of all efforts made by the board the last two yea's in which they col lected nearly $40,000. Do those be lie.vo it is justice to mankind to let their taxes run and then have cheek enough to go before the county board and ask for the interest remmitted or a rebate?

KEY WEST BULLETIN TELLS IT ALL 'Definite News" That "Believes" an Important Fact Exists. Rinthlnc Ileal ly "Innlte," However, J'ronilMtMl for Nome Other Time Loca tion of Kcliley, Nampnou and Curve l Still a I'roMfiu at WaNhliigton. but tbe (Mllclal Itcllcve Tliey Know Two Cu lm n ICchel OllUern Confer with Alger and Mllen. Key West. Fla., May 27. Definite news of the American squadrons In Cu ban waters reached here yesterday afternoon. Commodore Behley la be lieved to be off Santiago de Cuba to day, and definite Information as to the exact situation In so far as it affects Admiral Cervera's squadron may be expected today. Rear Admiral Sampson is In a position to proceed quickly to the assistance of Commodore Schley with any or all of his shlpa on receipt of definite word from Commodore Schley, and at the same he remains within striking: dis tance of Havna. If, however. Commodore Schley re ports Admiral Cervera bottled up at Santiago de Cuba the naval view Is that he will be permitted to finish the busi ness at that point with the ships now under his direct rommnnd. Madrid, May 27. It Is currently re ported here that the Spanish govern ment has ordered all the Spanish steam ers from 1,000 tons up, capable of steam ing: a minimum of twelve knots, to be impressed as auxiliary cruisers. The Spanish commanders at the various ports, it Is added, have been Instructed to take charpre of such steamers, wheth er mail boats or otherwise. Washington, May 27. Secretary Long said at the close of ofllce hours yester day that no word had come from any of the scouting vessels so numerous In West Indian waters concerning the Spanish flying squadron, wherefore he concluded that Cervera was still In Santiago harbor. Supposedly Schley i3 lying outside watching the entrance to prevent the egress of the Spanish ves sels; but while there is evidence of a certain kind on that fact there has been no official confirmation of it. This is a little remarkable, In view of the fact that it Is only a day's run for one of Schley's swift torpedo boats from Santiago to a cable port In Ilayti. There Is also a curious lack of information from newspaper dispatch boats on this point. It was supposed that the censors might have cut out any Information as to the whereabouts of the fleeets; but why it should be done if Cervera is "bottled up" is a mystery to the civilian. Official Hunger for Continuation. Notwithstanding the officials profess unshaken confidence In their original belief that the Spanish squadron Is securely "bottled up" in Santiago har bor there is no concealment by them of an Intense desire to secure some abso lutely trustworthy Information on that point. It is not to be doubted that with the question still open the beginning of the military operations Is retarded, for as long as there exists a possibility of the Spanish naval force being at large there Is an indisposition to start the troop transports for Cuba. Proba bly It was this uncertain state of affairs that Induced the president to call a consultation at the White House yester day between Secretaries Alger and Long, General Miles, and the membera of the naval war board Admiral Sicard, Captain Crownlnshleld and Captain Mahan. As stated by one of the mem bers of the conference the purpose was to go over the whole situation, but what they said or did was not for publica tion. About the New Call for Troops. In the rush of military preparations the war department officials have not been able to give much attention to the regulations for the procurement of the 75,000 additional volunteers called for by the president. It Is still uncer tain just how far the national authori ties will go towards recruiting these forces themselves, nor Is It positively known that independent organizations, companies, battalions ' and regiments raised by Individuals will be accepted en bloc. If by so doing the department Is required to accept the officers with the men. Indeed, It is now questioned whether under the law the department could, if it would, accept services of of ficers under such conditions, as the gov ernors of the states appear to be the only persons authorized to Issue com missions below the regimental grade. TWO OF OARCIA'S OFFICERS Have a Conference with Secretary Alger and Gen. Mile. Washington. May 27. Secretary Alger and General Miles conferred yesterday with two officers from the staff of Gen eral Garcia General Enrique Collazo and Lieutenant Colonel Charles Her nandez who come direct from Garcla's headquarters bearing credentials from him to effect a plan of co-operation with the American forces.

It Is understood that the purpose of the present visit of Garcla's officers is to give that general's assurance to the authorities here of his desire to give every possible co-operation to the Americnn movements.
