Associated Press Special Wire
MADRID. April 2—The statement cabled
last night to the effect that the torpedo
flotilla from Spain has arrived at Porto
Rloo was taken from a newspaper here.
An Investigation shows It to be erroneous.
' The Spanish flotilla has arrived at Cape
d» Verde Islands, however, and will prob
ably proceed after coaling.
The Cape de Verde islands Ho off Africa,
some hundreds of miles southward from
the Canaries, and presumably the flotilla
approaches America in this Indirect way
In order to avail itself of the great north
equatorial current, and avoid the great
"Saragosso eea'" or collection of seaweed.
The torpedo boats have a voyage of at
least 2000 miles yet to make, and as their
ooeanlo speed cannot exceed ten knots
under the most favorable conditions, it Is
Impossible for them to sight the head
lands of Porto Rico before more than a
week, and the probabilities are that this
ominous moment will be deferred days
later.
▲ LONG WAY OFF
WASHINGTON, April 2.—The Associa
ted Press bulletin announcing that the
Spanish torpedo flotilla was at the Cape
Verde Islands, on the west coast ot
Africa, Instead of Porto Rico, was received
with a good deal of satisfaction at the
Navy Department, which was without In
formation as to the whereabouts of the
flotilla. Tho lslnnds are more than 2000
miles from Porto Rico, and it ls the'opln
lon of naval experts that at tho very best
ten or twelve days would bo tho least
within which they could make the run
across.
STRANGE MANEUVERS
NEW YORK, April 2.—The Evening
World prints a copyrighted dispatch dated
April 1, on board the World's dispatch
boat Triton, via Koy West, which says:
The Spanish warships Vlzcuya and
Oquendo no longer Ho like big watch dogs
across Havana harbor. They are on their
Way to Porto Rico. The World's dispatch
boat followed them until this was made
certain.
They left their moorings at 3 o'clock this
afternoon and started eastward along the
north coast of Cuba. For days both big
Spanish cruisers have been ready to sail
at an hour's notice. Their coal bunkers
were filled almost two weeks ago.
Late last night a package of sealed or
ders were sent out to the two warships
from the office of the Almlrante on La
Machlna wharf. Early this morning prep
arations for their departure were begun.
Boat after boat, loaded down to the gun
wales with provisions of every kind, start
ed out from Havana wharves to the Viz
caya. The Evening World correspondent
boarded the Vizcaya at 10 o'clock. He was
received courteously by Captain Eulate.
"All 1 know about lt," says he, "ls that
we are going away, but where I have not
the faintest idea. Our orders are sealed
and I shall not open them until I am sev
eral miles out at sea."
A correspondent was put on board the
Triton with orders to follow the cruisers.
The correspondent's narrative continues:
"As soon as the two ships reached the
open gulf they turned to the westward and
ran three or four miles down the coast In
that direction. After they had reached a
point on the coast about five miles west
ward from Havana they turned complete
ly around and headed for Morro again.
"The watchers on the Triton were aston
ished. Could lt be that the warships had
changed their plans, and were returning
to Havana? Under a speed of about eleven
knots an hour, they passed Morro for the
second time, the Vizcaya leading the
Opuendo by half a mile. Down the coast
to the eastward of Havana the two men
of-war passed In procession. At a dis
tance of seven miles from land the Triton
paralleled their course, sailing at about
the same rate of speed. As the sun drop
ped down below the horizon the Vizcaya
and Oquendo became lost to view In the
shadow of the long green hills of the shore.
"The two ships had increased their speed
a little by this time and were jogging
along at about fifteen knots. They kept
well within the five-mile limit. Most of the
time they were not more than a mile from
shore. Soon the Triton followed the Vls
caya and Oquendo until they rounded
Point Ouanos.
"Point Guanos ls twenty-eight miles to
the eastward of Havana. Had either of
the two men-of-war had any Idea of going
to United States ports, they certainly
would hare turned north at Point Guanos.
But they did not.
"At a speed of sixteen knots an hour
they kept on eastward. The course they
followed Is the one indicated on charts as
being tho most direct route to Porto Rico."
WAR TALK AT HAVANA
NEW YORK, April 2.— Spain's official
representatives ln Cuba are preparing to
let go. Nothing, as yet, has been done to
prepare the public for the same thing,
says the Havana correspondent of the Tri
bune. Blanco and the palace officials hope
for a final report to secure the Indorse
ment of the United States for a scheme
Of nominal sovereignty. The Insurgents
wtH not accept that plan, even With the
Indorsement ot the United States.
With a certain knowledge that nothing
short Of independence will prevail/the chief
Interest ls in the good of reaching that
sadv A message can be got to Gomez and
an answer received in six days. The con
fidential 'talk in Spanish circles ls now of
yielding control by means of indemnity,
though the amount is placed much higher
then will ever be paid.
The most pronounced evidence that Spain
Is yielding comes from the autonomist
cabinet. The resignations of all the mem
bers may come at any day. Good reasons
exist for the statement that Montoro, the
Secretary of the Treasury, and Govin, the
Secretary of Justice,have already resigned,
though their resignations may be verbal.
Denials of this fact should be taken cau
tiously,
Th* appearances are that the enllro
autonomist cabinet will be used as a scape
goat for the Spanish public.
Gen. Blanco's bando (decree), which
permits the reconcentrados to go back to
the country wHhout entail, Is valueless as
a practical measure. It might have done
some good In November. Now, when
when women and chlldo-en constitute a
very great majority of the reconcentrados,
it has no real bearing on the conditions.
At first the bando was thought to be a
diplomatic move to checkmate President
McKlnley's policy of forcibly succoring tne
reconcentrados, If necessary. That may
have been one purpose, yet the Issuance
of the bando is a confession that the in
surrection cannot be put down by Spain's
arms. The return of the people ln large
numbers to their hromes would give the
revolution increased strength. No effort
has yet been made by the authorities io
moderate the war sentiment of the Span
ish classes in Havana.
The papers publish attacks on Ameri
cans, with the pretence ot showing how
formidable Is the Spanish equadj-on. The
majority of the population still think that
war with the United States is an early
probability. Peace negotiations will have
to be unfoldedc to them gradually. These
negotiations do not quench the ardor of
the Spanish war party in Cuba. This Is,
possibly, the least of embarrassments of
the home government in Madrid, however.
Its representatives here let the martial
feeling develop Itself without check. They
even encourage the Idea that Spain could
safely venture on a war with the United
Sates, because the European powers
would support he-.
A small element among; the Spanish
merchants and planters know the folly of
this talk, but this element cannot come
out openly and antagonize the war party.
The aim of Ihe merchants, who lost con
fluence ln Spain's ability to maintain her
sway in Cuba, is either an American pro
tectorate or annexation. Instead 1 of grow
ing stronger, they become weaker ln the
presence of the crisis between the two
countries, when every Spaniard, who is
not ready to undertake hostilities, ls looked
upon with distrust. Their Influence for
peace cannot be counted on as either a
check or guide to the popular movement.
Some of the autonomist leaders go with
the tide. They are more bitter against the
United States than are the tntransigeants.
They hold it responsible for the failure of
autonomy, by which force of circum
stances brings their own failure. How
ever, autonomists, either as leaders or
as followers, are not numerous enough to
make their sentiments a factor of import
ance. The functions of the autonomist
government ln the domestic concerns of
the Islands have been weak. In Interna
tional affairs lt Is a cipher.
The Spanish classes do not need educa
tion regarding the condition of tho revolu
tion as do the people of Spain. They
know the insurgents will never sue for
peace; that the only hope of the peninsula
lies in extermination. Possibly because of
their superior knowledge, the Spaniards in
Cuba are tranquil over the reports of at
tempted negotiations. They believe all
efforts for an armistice will fail because
the insurgents will not accept lt, unless It is
based on Independence. That the Sagasta
cabinet ls preparing through the good offi
ces of the United States for conceding the
Independence of Cuba ls incredible to these
loyal and patriotic supporters of the
mother country. The course ot Captain
General BLanco and of the authorities has
not been such as to prepare them for
such action. If this proves to be the case
they wIU not be easily or readily reconciled.
They had rather talk of war with the
United States. That is 'what they are
doing, while Madrid and Washington are
talking peace.
GOOD ORDER PREVAILS
HAVANA, April 2.—The newspaper men
here, from news which they have received
from the interior and exterior of the Island,
regard the situation us critical. The tone
of all the morning papers is intensely
patriotic. Tho Constitution this morning
says:
"It ls time to let the public know the
real state of affairs between the United
States and Spain. We deprecate undue
fanfaronade, cries of 'To Washington,'
like those of 'A Berlin' of France before
Sedan.
"The Interest taken here ln the situa
tion is great, but order hus been preserved
to the present writing, while the authori
ties are taking measures to secure con
tinued tranquility in the city."
THE JUNTA PROGRAM
NEW YORK, April 2.—The Cuban Junta
was the scene of considerable activity last
night and the leaders of the movement in
this country were in conference during the
greater part of the night. The result of
this conference was that lt was definitely
decided to disband the Junta ln the event
of war being declared between the United
States and Spain. Tomas Estrada Palma,
the Cuban representative ln Washington,
and all the other Cubans connected with
the work of the Junta, except those who
are actually needed in Washington, will
reurn to Cuba and take up arms in de
fense of their country.
It was said that fully 5000 other Cubans
who are ln the United States would go to
Cuba at the same time. The reason that
so many Cuban's have remained hero dur
ing the war, lt was explained at tbe Junta,
ls because lt ls absolutely necessary to
have funds to carry on the war for inde
pendence, and these Cubans have by their
work here furnished large sums of money
to the Insurgents and thus enabled them to
carry on the rebellion. The further ne
cessity for their work here would be done
away with ln the event of war between
Spain and this oountry and they could
then go to the island and add to the Cuban
army much strength.
MEXICO'S CONGRESS
The Spring Session Opened by Fresi-
dent Diaz
CITY OF MEXICO, April 2.-Presldent
Diaz opened the spring session of congress
last night. The president stated that
Mexico had denounced the extradition
treaty with the United States on account of
the fact that lt enables the common de
linquents who escape into the United
States to resist their extradition on the
plea that they were political offenders.
The treaty will cease to be operative on
January 26 ot the coming year. The presi
dent makes no allusions to the Cuban ques
tion. After dealing with the foreign rela
tions, the president, according to custom,
gives an exhaustive review of the Internal
affairs of the republic. He says the ex
portation of gold and silver ores is rapidly
Increasing, and that the domestic indus
tries are being built up through the low
price of silver.
The treasury still continues to hold a
substantial surplus.
The president exhorts the legislature, in
discussing the budget for the coming year,
which begins July Ist next, to adhere
strictly to principles of wise and enlight
ened economy.

THE CALIFORNIA DERBY
CALLS OUT A GOOD STEING OF
YOUNGSTERS
THE WORST START EVER SEEN
Cave Traverser an Advantage of
Which He Never Let Co—Other
Race Results
Associated Press Special Wire
SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.—The second
California derby, the blue ribbon event of
the Pacific coast turf, was decided at In
gleslde today. The Burns & Waterhouse
chestnut colt Traverser, by Imp. Rosslng
ton-Betsy Broeck, ridden by Lonnie Clay
ton, winning cleverly tn 2:08%. This event
Is a sweepstakes for 3-year-olds, at a mile
and a quarter, with a guaranteed value of
16000.
Seven of the crack 3-year-olds now In
training on the coast made up a select field,
which for class and breeding has seldom
If ever been equaled ln classic events con
tested before a California audience. Burns
& Waterhouse were represented by the
cream of their immense stable—Traverser,
Recreation and Napamax—a trio that was
considered good enough to run one, two,
three by followers of the sport. The stable
divided favoritism at post time with W. L
Appleby's Linstock, with Jockey Tod
Sloan in the saddle. Two to one was the
ruling price on these contestants, the odds
fluctuating more or less. The race had a
very open appearance, however, and it Is
believed that as much money was wagered
on the chances of the other three entries
as poured ln on the favorites.
Contrary to the general expectation, the
start was one of the poorest ever given ln
an event of this Importance, the field
being somewhat strung out as the barrier
was raised, and Napamax, considered the
most dangerous of the Burns and Water
house entry, was caught in the webbing
and' left. Before Clawson could disen
tangle his mount the balance of the field
had traversed fully a quarter of a mile.
After trailing in pursuit of the field for a
furlong or two, Clawson, realizing the
helplessness of such a case, wisely pulled
up his mount.
Traverser was tho first to show In front
as the barrier flew up, and passing the
stand had Increased his lead to three
lengths. His stable mate Recreation,
upon whom Thorpe had the mount, took
good care to keep the second division at a
respectable distance from the flying leader,
and in doing so repeatedly cut off Lin
stock, which greatly militated against the
letter's chances of winning. Traverser
made all the running; and maintained his
lead of three lengths until the saddling
paddock was reached, when the rapid pace
began to tell, and he exhibited signs of
faltering. Clayton, however, rated him
along with admirable judgment and the
colt lasted long enough to beat out, the
fast-coming Borgia by a length. Recrea
tion was third, three lengths behind Bor
gia. The latter colt, who ls a full brother
to The Roman, furnished the sensation of
the day, as this was his Initial start. He
was badly messed about, and, coming from
the rear division In the stretch, rapidly
overhauled the leader, and doubtless would
have annexed the rich event had there
been a few yards further to travel. Borgia
is by Imp. Brutus-Ledette, and Is owned by
the Elmwood stock farm of San Jose. His
creditable showing against a field of top
notchers ln his maiden start stamps him
as the best three-year-old of the season.
Boots has experienced very poor luck with
his horses in the big stakes during the
past few years, for although his horses
have on all occasions finished inside the
money, he has been unable to place one of
these events to his credit.

MURDER OF GERMANS IN CUBA
Has Promptly Convinced the Country
That American Demands on

Associated Press Special Wire
BERLIN, April 2.—(Copyright, 1898.) The
sentiment in Germany in official and un
official circles early today was that the
Hispano-American crisis has veered con
siderably during the course of the week,
and ls now decidedly more favorable to the
United States. This, it is asserted, is due
partly to the moderation of President Mc-

which United States Minister Woodford

and partly to the bitterness engendered by
the alleged wanton atltaok of a band; of in
