QUEEN REGENT ISA MAINSTAY.
But for Her the Monarchy Would
Surely I'erlsh In Spain.
Nkw Voiik, June 3. llannia' Taylor,
recently United States minister to
Spain, discusses in the June number of
the North American Keview, the jsjlit
ical future of Spain.
"The most priceless iMisMession of
Spain," says Mr. Taylor, "is Maria
Christina, because she alone bars the
door to a renewal of the civil war
which at this moment would be de
structive to the country. In this dark
hour of Spain's misfortune, her pure,
womanly character shines forth like a
light in a dark place, round which all
patriotic Spaniards gather.
"If monarchical institutions survive,
her overthrow means the accession of
Don Carlos, who, apart from his utter
and admitted worthlessness as a man,
represents a set of medueval ideas and
inspirations that would set Spain fur
into the past at least a century."

Pout Antonio, Jamica, June 3. Four
week after the victory of Pear Admi
ral IVwey at Manila. Commodore
Schley, in ttmmnud of the Hying
MUudron, hud his shrewdness and per
tinacity rewarded by finding the Span
ish fleet in the harlsir of Santiago.
For ten days he had, in the face of con
flicting rumors and some eases of al
leged verifications, insisted that the
ships of Spain were trying to make a
landing on the southern coast of Cuba.
This was evidently not in consonance!
with newspaper and official informa
tion, and his opinion was not given
much public weight. In fact, it is be
lieved that some days liefore he proved
the correctness of his diagnosis of the
situation lu.' was ordered to return to
Key West. However, new facts gath
ered by him in the meantime gave him
still more ground for Iwlief as to his
proximity to the Spaniards.
The captain of the lii itish steamer
Adula, who was interviewed at Cien
fucgos, told of seeing the Spanish licet
in the vicinity of Santiago de Cuba,
evidently awaiting opportunities to get
in.
Captain Sigsbee of the St. Paul re
lated how he had captured a S punish
coal vessel going into the harbor of I
Santiago dc Cuba ttand Commodore j
Schley argued from these two inci
dents that the fleet of Spain was await
ing in some haven near Santiago until
such time as a visit, fruitless iu its re
sults, should be niude there by the
Americans when, upon their departure,
the Spunish fleet would run into the
hurlHir.
Commodore Schley determined to
make that visit and Friday night he
ran within six miles of the harbor.
The St. Faul was then detached and
sent back to keep out of sight, with in
structions to be ready at a twenty
knots clip, to bring news to the com
modore at any moment.
From the American ships, the Span
ish batteries were in plain view, but
no doubt under preconcerted agree
ment, for tiiey made no uttempt to fire,
and the flying squiidron, after circling
around, slow.y steamed away in the di
rection of Key West, as its coal supply
was becoming short. There was a col
lier with the squadron, but there was
no friendly harbor with smooth water
and there was serious danger of smash
ing the collier if an attempt was made
to coal the heavy battleships at sea.
Kesourceful and daring, Commodore
Schley showed forth, however, and at
dark, with an original rigging to pro
tect the ship, the Texas and the Mar
blehead began to coal. They worked
all night and at daybreak had filled
their bunkers.
lly noon on Saturday the converted
yacht Vixen had also coaled and at 1
o'clock, not having heard from the St.
Paul, the American war ships moved
again toward Santiago.
First standing off the coast about
fifteen miles, the squadron afterward
circled in front of Morro castle, but
not close enough in to get a view of the
inside of the harbor, guarding care
fully against the possibilities of a tor
pedo boat attack.
At night the squadron lay off a point
of land and in the morning, Sunday,
the St. Paul came along, but did not
get any knowledge of the Spanish
ships' whereabouts.
Consequently Commodore Schlep de
termined to find it himself, and 'with
the flagship in the lead he started
toward the harbor. The Spanish
troops at the earthworks and batteries
could be seen through glasses, prepar
ing in haste to give the American ships
as warm a reception as possible.
Morally certain that Cervera was
within, but not positive on that score,
the commodore ordered the Marble-
head to run close under the guns of
Morro, to reach the entrance to the
narrow and tortuous channel and to
see as far as possible into the bay in
order to ascertain the location of the
enemy's fleet.
The Marblehead obeyed orders, and
even exceeded tbem, for her daring
commander, Captain McCalla, actually
entered the channel mouth. She was
going at a high rate of speed as she
passed Morro, and she avoided shoal
water with great dexterity. She en
tered the channel between Morrillo
point and the Diamond bank, and all
on board had a clean sweep with their
eves of the bay as far as Punta Uorda.
What they saw caused every heart to
beat faster and every man to wish that
the time had arrived for action, for
there in the bay, some distance below
the city, were four Spanish cruisers
and two torpedo boat destroyers.
The Spaniards had evidently been
lulled into a sense of security by the
absence of any attack, for they had
dropped a considerable distance down
toward the channel a mouth. 1 he ves
sels were lying behind the batteries,
and the Spaniards had made use of the
old Reina Mercedes, for she was in
their midst with gttns mounted. She
has long since seen her fighting days,
but she had been placed in front of the
fleet, and it was evidently the inten
tion of Cervera to use her as a means
of defense as long as she would last.
The Marblehead lost no time in run
ning out of the channel and at full
speed again passed Morro and reached
the llrooklvn. the flagship of Commo
dore Schley, with the news. It was
definitely ascertained that the vessels
bottled up were the flagship of the
Span;h admiral, the 'riMotal Colon,!
the Aimirante Sut-ndo, the VUci.v4
and the Maria Teresa, in luldition M
the torja-do tmt destroyers Furor and 1
Pluton. (
l sa than two days before two sup
posedly ( uluiu pilots, sent from Ja
maica by the government, ha. 1 inform. 1
the commodore that no v. sm-Is of the
size of the Spanish warships could go
up the liarlsir. !
SPAIN'S FINANCIAL CRISIS. :
Only i0.IMMI.O4MI la Kvdreau KHMMMMMM)
In Pa uer.
Maiikih, June 3. Spain is fast drift- ;
ing to a forced pas r currency. The1
run on the Hank of Spain has assumed
sueh proportions that people form in
long lines hours before the offices open
in Madrid and the provincial branches.
The bank gives small notes in ex
change for I.tHio or .imi H-seta notes,
only exchanging for silver )esetas or
dollars the twenty-five, fifty or loo
peseta notes. j
The government has vainly tried to
stop the run by prohibiting the ex
portation of silver, promising to coin
iiiillionsof xsctas daily. It cannot do
this until it increases the machinery of ,
the mint. Kvery retail store, market 1
and tobacco stall rejects the notes and
the money changers charge . per cent
discount.
The Hank of Spain has S'.'0.ihni.(mh iu
silver to meet the S:.'0O,(XMI,tHH) in notes
in circulation.
Tax collections were much slower
this spring than heretofore and the
new taxes are expected to produce so
little that the government has decided
to raise money by negotiating a loan
in France, pledging the principal mo-1
noM)liek. The ministers of war, of
marine and of the colonies declare that ;
it is absolutely necessary to have $'7,-'
000,000 monthly. ;. . I
TO AID IN GOVERNING CUBA.
i
Washington OrtleUtla flan a Form of Gov
ernment for the Island.
Washington, June 3. The State de
partment and the attorney general are
working hard in the preparation
of a form of government
for Cuba after the Spaniards
shall have been driven from the island.
It is understood to be the intention of
the President to place a military gov
ernor in each province in Cuba who
will be sulKirdinate to a governor gen
eral of the island.
As soon as the attempt is made to
establish a government in Cuba, corps
of engineers will be put to work to
construct railroads, telegraph lines,
telephones, to survey for waterworks
for cities or place in order those which
now exist and to institute a complete
modern system of sewerage in Havana
and other large cities. Everything
possible to aid Cuba to recover from
its devasted condition and become a
producing nation will be done by this
government, and every effort is now
made to have a complete plan for these
operations ready to be put into effect
as soon as peace is declared.
SPANISH FORTIFYING MANILA.
All Available lllg tiuni to Be .Mounted In
Shore Katterlea.
Paris, June 3. A dispatch to the
Figaro from Hong Kong says that the
Spaniards are busily employed in for
tifying the ))ore at Manila. They are
bringing all the field guns from the
various points in the interior, in order
to use them in the shore batteries.
Engineer and artillery officers have lit
tle faith in the ability of the Spanish
defenses to withstand the heavy Amer
ican guns, but the infantry officers
still profess to believe that they will
be able to hold the city.
The correspondent also confirms the
statement that Captain General Au
gusti has set a price of 925,000 on the
head of Aguinaldo, the leader of the
Philippine insurgents. This money
will be paid for Aguinaldo, dead or
alive.
NOT AN AMERICAN SHIP HIT.
A Dlapatch Boat Direct From the En

Port Antonio, Jamaica, June 3.
The dispatch boat Dandy, direct from
the American fleet, says the Spanish
flagship Cristobal Colon was struck
twice by shells fired from the Massa
chusetts, and the Spanish batteries
were badly damaged by the fire of the
United States ' cruiser New Orleans.
The Spaniards fired about 300 shots and
the Americans fired about one-fourth
that number.
No American vessel was hit and no
one on board the American ships was
injured. The Spanish loss was not
heavy.
