It was not the purpose, it seems, to do more than knock down the fortifications and get a naval fiht if the Spaniards were willing to 9gh'. The follow ing account is tbe most pa'isfao'.ory OBe that we have nei : New York, June 1. An Even, ing Journal special from 0pe Hy tieu says: Tbe torpedo boat Porter arrived at Mole 8t. Nicholas at 1 o'clock this morning with dispatches for Washington. She lift immei diately. But before going to sea tbe following story of the bombards ment of Santiago de Cnba, tbe ref oge of Cervera and the Spanish fleet, was obtained by your correspondent at the Mole: The American rq.iadron, ang menttd by the torpedo boat Porter, the auxiliary cruiser St. Paul and the protected cruiser New Orleans, formerly the Amez mas, approached the entraoce to the harbor of San tiago, at about 1.30 p. m , the Iowa leading. Inside the entrance to the harbor was seen one of the war ehip of Cervera's fleet, stripped for ac tion As the American fleet drew neai the New Orleans was detached and steamed forward ahead of the Iowa, Texas and Massachusetts. One of the forts opened Are on her and she replied, the other two chips directing tneir fire at the battery on tbe PnLta Gordo within the harbor and westward of the position ocoupted by tbe Spanish ship. The latter replied to the Gre and immediately became a target for all the Ameri can ships ecgxged in the battle. She retired behind a protecting head land and was not seen again during the engagem ut. The Iona, directed by Captain "Fighting Bob" Evans; the Massa chusetts by Cap'atn F J Uirinson; the Texa-, by Cap'a n J W Phil-, lips, and the Ne Orleans, by Cap tain W M Folgtr, kept np their terrifij fire against the Morro, Z. cspa and Punta Qorda foits for two hours, their prcj 'Ctiles of enormous size, doing tremendous damage to the defences of the harbor. The maeonry on Z icupa and Morro was battered almost into dnst and the forms of Spanish artillerymen ard infantiy could b plainly seen flying to safety bthind tbe neighbor ing hills. Tne auxiliary cruiser which jo ned Schley's 11 -et just bes fore tbe battle took place, was hit by shells fiotn tbe forts, and it ia thought that she baa been seriously damaged by the shells. After seek' ing the projection of a jutting bead land, the Spaniah warshipj con tinned to fire over the hills to vard be 11 e', but they bad no range and the shells fell birra'eealy. That the number of killed and wounded oi Spanish side is enormous no one doubts, for time and again tbi American ehelis hit the bttteriet squarely and amid the flying irmoo ry and diem intled guns the form' o' men were discern d. Tbe damage done to the Americsa fleet cannot oe learned, but it Is t ot thought an person was killed, if, indeed, any oat .i8 wounded. This is said to be not the first flht at Santiago. It is said that two Spanish torpedo boats crept out of tbe harbor and got within 600 yards of one of Schley's vessels Sun day night when tbey were diicov. ered. Thy quickly received s icha rattling fire that they hustled back out of danger as quickly as pogtible, It is not believed that they were s'ruok. Secretary-of-war A'ger in asking J' ngrets for appropriations has suf Soieutly outlined "tbe government plan wh eh have bem fairly well forrast. Forces are to te set t to 'uba, Porto Rcianl tha Philip pines. Ic sec ma to be tbe purpose to land 20,000 troopa in Cuba at once to br angmented later with 50.000 more, making 7 ,000. Grand preparations re being rnnde to build wagon am' railroads on tbe Islands and use e'ectrica! appliance. Tee full de tai's of plans cannot be had, but ihere is li'tle doubt that Santiago ill be attacked Lieut. Co. 1 orst commanding the Klori la baa made three torceeav f u I landings rf r mall bodies of Cn. ban troops with ammunition on the nsrtheaat con-t only about 00 miles from Ban'iurO. He was landing 400 troops with 7 0U0 riflej and over a million rounds of cartridges about tbe time Scbley was bombarding tbe fortifications at Santiago. Every mrvement on tbe part or both governments looks to a hard fought war, yet Spain may collapse for want et fund', Rjn upon run is being made on the bank of Spain and no surprise need be felt if tbe government should fail t) be able to p'ts-'cute tbe war. Xntetantlonal Alllnaeea. All this speculation about inter nttional al'ianoei is more entertain ing than practical. We have no doubt that oar government has some rt cf tacit understanding with that of Great Britian that we can count upon a continnance of the friendly policy which has protected us from outside interference, and that our mutual interests shall be regarded in the final adjustment of our pros ent war with Spain, which is lead. ing us inevitably into broader inter eational relations than were origi' nally anticipated. Most of tbe con tinental nations have shown a jealous and unfriendly sp'rit that has made tbe evident sympathy of England the more significant and valuable It is, indeed, one of our greatest grounds of security and we should be unwiee not to welcome and to cnltivate it and to do all proper things to seoure it. But this is evidently not a time for any formal treaties of alliance, and we have no idea that any are seriously contemplated. No such treaty could be made now with good tffec', because tbe conditions of tbe near future cannot be clearly fore seen, and between two such nations a common nndersta ding, based up on common interests and a friendly public sentiment is worth much more than any precise diplomatic arrangement. Moreover, neither na tion bes any present interest io chal engicg the opposition if tbe contaental powers, as such a trea') certainly would do. If cccasion should arise, the possibility of an Anglo-American klliance Jwould be efficient check upon antagonistic int Tests, but the occasion itself is lik ly to shade lbs alliance rather than the alliance to force the occas on. At the same time the discussion of our international relations is not unprofitable. This war has already taught ns that to nation can shut itself ep within itself and defy the legitimate interests tf other nations or the enlightened opinion of the world. This is as true of ourselves as of Spain, and in teaching Spain a lefson we shall learn a great deal ourselves of our general responsi bility in the family of nations and of the necessity of culyivating the good will of mankind by courteous con sideration and fair dealing that will promo'e friendshlpa nnd not enmi ties. Philadelphia Times. How Tbejr Get the Slews. A little thin like the absence of information would not interfere with tbe Washington correspond ents' giving us detailed accounts of the naval movements, were not the fact that they are without inform;! tion so well understood. Even this makes no d.Serenae in tome news piper offices. Tfce New York Herald calls attention to the curious fact that whils its correspondent at Ma nil a is cut off from communication except as be can send dispatcher by steamer lo Hong K tie, one of its yellow contemporaries ia getting daily intelligence right h'ong, brough the eeyered cab.'e. There is a suspicion tbat some of tha Ma drid difpatchts from Cuba are transmitted in a similarly iuiracul orjB way. In Washington tbey do not manu factors n ws; only they speculate on small foundations. And bh there is known to bilitt'e basis for military speculation just now, the correspondents have embarked on '.he broad sea of diplomacy, of which fhey know even less but where nobody is in a pjoitioD to contradict tbem. The magnificent schemes of empire attributed to Mr. McEinley show tbat it is cot for nothing that he wears a resemblance to Nipoleon Be'ween him and Mr. Chimberlin, with tbe Washington correspondent, wemayreg.rd the nltima'e parti tion of the eirth as ab ut settled.

The (jfliciul dispatch from Coin modore Schley that arrived Fridit in Washington shows that the Gbt iug at Santiago was a reconnoisance in f .rce to find where the Spauisb batteries are and the degree of strength they possessed. He found that the defenBe is strong and it will ba a task to en gage our heavy vesse s. Dippitches say tbet the coal bearing vessel, Mcrrimac, was blown up Friday by a torpedo in thp channel to the harbor. The details are not ic, but it i said that eight of ber ere were captured as priss oner?. Thsre seems to be no ques tion but that it was a part of the plaa to send in a vessel of small value to test the pieoence ot names and torpedcei and if the vessel should be euok there would be tbe advantage of having the channel blocked . It may be she was only scuttled on purpose. As for news from Tampa there cannot be said to be any, and troops may or may not be on their way to tbe seat of war. It is said tbat five transports were loaded with troops at Mobile Fridiiy. The strictest censorship is held tbat the Span iards may have no advantage of the news. Daily of 4:h. A Mlitut I'olllolon.

No Army lo Cnba lint 30,0(10 Steady Nrhlry Null Bangm- Away at San-tlaico-Ylre-Preildeut Capote not Captured But In New York Cnba Is IJrnK liil-llnn HO.OUO Armed troops. Tbe war h uation is still one of expectancy this (Friday) morning. 1'bere bus been no real army trans posed to the seat of war yet but transports are ia readiness for about 30, tOO soldiers. A dispatch ciine after we went to press Thursday tha Commodore Sshley h&d renewed tbe attack on Santiago, which ie probably correct. The Oregon has taken her place in Admiral Samp son's flaet. Tbe iusurgents are in tbe rear of Santiago and are threatening to at tack. Lieut Dorst conveys com munications to and from them, it seems. Indications point to a con tued attack till Cervera is disposed of. When the fortifications are de stroyed the mines and torpedoes will iie in the way of our fljet. The Ve suvius!, whoie special business it is to clear the way wi h heavy charges of dyn amite will probably be put to a test .to open the way when Com modore Sibley will probably give battle to Cervera in bis retreat. All this is speculation, of course, but it seems a' together plausible. It is apparent that the command ers want very much to dispose of that Spanish fleet before any very deceive eo ion is too:cur. The destitution is s.id to he very great at Santiago. A dispatch a few days ago to tie effect that Capote, the vice-presN dent of the insurgent government had been ciptured by the Spaniards on tbe coint as be was taking boat proves to be an error. He arrived in New York Thursday, He reports the Cubans as very grateful to tbe Americans for aid. He says that Gen. Garcia has 1,200 men under his command at Santiago and Puerto Principe, Gomiz bas about 5,000 at Santa Clara. He says there are about 3000 well equipped soldiers and about 20,000 who are OBly arm ed with machetes while there are thousands of others that have left the towns to j in the army.

In the morning at 5.15 scans non is fired for the purpose of awaking the. regiment, and at 5.30 we go out and each company has an arm, body, leg and foot exercise for one half hour, and at that time guards are appointed for duty for twenty-four boars, serving two and off four hours until the twenty four hours have expired. We then have breakfest at 7 o'clock and at 10 o'clock we hare drill nntil 11 o'clock We then take dinner at 1 o'clock, Ajain we have drill (regimental drill) from 4 to 5 30 o'clock. Then oomes dress parade, which is the finest drill of all, which lasts from 6.30 to 7. At 7.30 we take supper Between tbe hours of drill we are at liberty to do as we please almost, except that we can not go more than one mile from camp without a pass. From each company there is only five passes is wed p.-r day. If we break any of these rules we are punished by being confined in tbe guard heu;e for twenty-four hours or put on double duty. We are allowed to keep our caadles burning nntil 10 p. ra. at that time orders are given for lights out and sleep is the next thing on docket. 1 forgot to mention tbat we have services every night and its attend ance Is fairly good. The bealth of the camp is excellent as there is very little sickness. As to when we think we will leave we can not tell, although we expect to be fully equipped by tbe Stb. Well, it is now almost time to drill, so will bave to close, wishing you and all of my friends success llou. Hoke Nmlih In t'barlotie. Hon. Hoke Smith, ex-secretary of the interior, passed through Charlotte this morning returning to Atlanta from a business trip to Washington. Mr. Smith tells a News reporter that there was con siderable activity in Washington yesterday. The war department wag, as a matter of course, the most active. 'It now seems certain that troops will embark for Cuba at once," said Mr. Smith. "The location of the Spanieb armada and tbe harm less position they are forced to occupy makes it safe for us to land our troops at such ports as will be most formidable. ' I bave no idea but what the war will Boon ba brought to a close. Oir enemy is in dire distress, both at home aud aboard. There is no concert of tbe opining among the members of the nowly formed Spanish cabinet. Internal dis sections are openly announced daily.
