Key West, Fla. May 27. Part of Commodore Schley's squadron sailed for the west end of Cuba about noon Thursday, May 19th. In consisted of the Broklyn, Texas, Massachusetts and Scorpion. The Iowa sailed several hours later. The advance guard of Commodore Schley's fleet was at Ci enfuegos on Sunday, May 22nd, where ' i '. " ! it was joined by the Iowa, Eagle ana Vixen, and later by the Marblehead. Commodore s.Schley had ah idea that Admiral Cervera's squadron, which is carrying guns and ammunition for Havana, would slip into Cienfuegos, which has railroad communication with the Cuban capital. - Officers who have arrived here on the dispatch boats from -Commodore Schley's squadron, say there was disappoint ment in the fleet when it was found the Spaniards were not there. On Sunday the Scorpion was sent scouting- in the direction of Santiago de Cuba and on Tuesday of this week about dusk, Commodore Schley's squadron moved toward that port. The tdrpedo boat Dupont leaving for "Key "West with dispatches. The Dupont's officers -and men say there was no fir ing at Cienfuegos . . while they were there with the Meet which was up to the hour of its departure. The only unusual indent was a slight injury to the Dupont while coaling from the Iowa in a heavy sea. -i The cruiser : Marblehead left Key West last Saturday night with the transport Florida to carry General Jo seph. J2, Lacret's force of 400 men rf to some point in Cuba not then divulged. She lay in Key West harbor on Thurs day and, therefore, ' could not have ammunition for the Cubans on that day as reported in some dispatches. Before reaching Cienfuegos, Commo dore Schley sent dispatches tcfRear Admiral Sampson in which he made no allusion to any collision with shore tbatteries. His orders were to look for the Spanish squadron, not to stir up the shore, guns, It is believed here that he will send dispatches to Wash ington from Mole St. Nicholas or Kingston announcing the result of Jiis search.

Up to 11 o'clock" this morning (Friday) nothing had won seen of the Spanish fleet. '. Neither Rear Admiral Sampson nor the naval officers with the fleet appear at ail sanguine that the Spaniards un less hard pressed, will attempt to run the gauntlet into Havana. Admiral rBrvera since he reached the Carib bean sea, hs shown, anything but a disposition to fight, and our officers are inclined to tfunk that, if he is driv en out of the waters south of Cuba he will double back to San Juan de Por to Rico, where his ships could coal un lr nrntection of : batteries, as power ful as those at Havana, as Rear Ad miral Sampson ascertained when he bombarded the forts there two weeks ago. But the unexpected might hap pen, and if it does. Admiral Sampson is prepared.5 Should Cervera run into the arms of our fleet as now consti tuted his surrender or annihilation would be Inevitable. 'There are but two- passages by which he could enter the Florida straits. From the east ward, 160 miles east of Havana, the v. !i,BTpat triansrular drea of shoal water strung with coral Vieys extends northward from Cuba to a point sixty miles east of the coast of Florida."

The .only exciting - incident" of the cruise occurred about 11 o'clock Tues day morning before , a number of the I ships which afterward joined the fleet eastward in column abreast, but when the smoke from , three strange ships was made out, "horizon, dead ahead," signal flags began to fly from the sig nal yards of the flagship", as Rear Ad miral .Sampson made his dispisition for battle, should the stranger prove to be the enemy. Bugles, sounder the call to general quarters, and every executive officer rang for steam, while the smokestacks, of our ships began to belch forth great clouds of smoke as the vessels swung into line ahead. 1 It was evident that Admiral "Sampson in tended to adopt the favorite formation of 'successful commanders in modern naval battles and fight his ships broadside on. " ' " The speed was quickly increased to over ten knots and the course altered slightly to. pass the strangers on the port quarter. The very ships seemed to spent the battle as they ploughed through the heavy swell which was dead against them and flung it aside in clouds of spray. The admiral's commands .were flung back from ship to ship. From the Dauntless, with our glasses we touia see ine men at quarters, stripped to the waist. Nettings to catch splinters were stretched about the chart rooms and ..bridges and ev erything was made ready, for the fray. It was a sight to satisfy the pride of every American as our fleet bore down. Meantime the military tops of two of the strangers had removed all doubt as to the character of the vessels. It was a false alarm, artd the disappointment of our .jack- taijs. must have been Keen, judging rrom tne .re marks they made afterward.' They had been feeding each other on promises of the many things they proposed tQ do to the Spaniards -..when they got them, and for a few minutes they thought the coveted opportunity had com?. : ' ' ; ' Long before the correspondents, perched on the tops of the pilot hous-. es of their boats, were able to recog nize the new comers, the lookouts on the warships had identified them as two of the United States monitors and a supply ship that had been dispatch ed in advance of the main body of the fleet. - . :: r .

The condition of some of the volunteer regiments Is sadly deficient as re gards arms and clothing and so urgent have become the requirements in this respect that no supplies will be Issued to the regular troops until the volun teers are equipped and in readiness ,for actual field duty. The lack of, arms, especiall, has been sadly felt. Volun teer brigade- commanders have been ordered to report to the chief quarter-: master at once the tentage, clothing andjgneans of transportation on hand and what is required and to the chief ordnance officer the character and quality of arms on hand and what is needed for a complete equipment. The wants of the volunteer regiments wil be filled as fast aa reports are made. The availability of Jacksonville, es pecially as a rendezvous point for the thousands of volunteer troops yet to arrive, has, if is understood, been, un der discussion and General Lee's- visit of inspection . to the Florida metropolis may ultimately result in the establish ment of the headquarters of the Sev enth army corps at that point. This, of course, is contingent on the time of the movement towards Cuba. ' S. M.

The following bulletin was posted at the navy de partment today: The following is a copy of a report made by Rear Admiral Sampson, con cerning the action off San Juan de Puerto Rico: i ! "Upon .approaching San Juan is was seen that none of the Spanish vessels were in the harbor. I was, therefore, considerably in doubt whether they had reached San Juan and again de parted for some unknown destination' or whether they had not arrived. As their capture was the object of the ex pedition, and as it was essential that they should; not pass to the westward, I determined to attack the batteries defending the port, in. order to 'develop their positions and stregnth, and then, without waiting to reduce the city or subject it to ,. regular bombardment, which would require due notice, turn to the westward. I commenced the at tack as soon as It was good daylight. This lasted about thr.ee hours, : when the signal was made to discontinue the firihsr and the squadron stood to the' northeast until out of Sight of Saji Juan, when the course was laid to the westward, with the view of communi cating with, the department at Port Plata, and learn if the department had obtained information as to the moves of the Spanish vessels. . "At Cape Haytien, 1 1 received word from the department that the Spanish vessels had been sighted off Curacoa on the 14th. "As I stated in my telegram, no se rious injury was done to any of, the ships, and only one man was killed and seven wounded slightly." j r. - ' - i : Hawaiian Annexation ' j i . .- Washington, May 27. The Hawaiian annexation question, wjiieh has , been the subject of no little concern about tl senate 'for the past few days, as sumed definite shape in. the senate to day when Senators Lodge and Morgan offered amendments to the war reve nue bill directly upon the subject. Sen ator Lodge's amendment is in the words of the Newlands resolution, and provides in direct terms! for. the annex ation of the IslandsJ Senator Lodge seen immediately "after he had sent his amendment to the desk and an- nounced it to be his purpose to press the amendment to the end. Investigation develops that Senator Lodge's action in, presenting the amendment was the result of more or less conference, though of an inform al character, among the staunchest advocates of annexation. The mem bers of the senate committee n finance .are generally averse to the Lodge amendment as inimical to the speedy passage of the revenue bill. They say that the bill woifld be in .defipitely delayed with the Hawaiian amendment included and that under existing . conditions tnist cannot be thought .of.

SENATE. Washington.May 27 A notable speech on the war revenue measure was de livered in the senate, this forenoon by Senator Gorman, demorcat, of Jfary land. - In the course of an argument In supbort of a tax on corporations he denounced as "infamous" the decision of the supreme court declaring the in come tax law of 189 unconstitutional. The warning sounded by some sena tors that if a tax was placed upon cor porations it would be pronounced un constitutional by the supreme court had, he said, no effect upon him. A decision against such an amendment woujd not destroy our financial struc ture, but it would destroy) the court which should hand It down. Senator Gorman took decided issue with the majority of his fellow demo crats upon their proposition to coin the silver seigniorage and to issue le gal tender notes, and made -a power ful argument in favor of the issuance of bonds to raise funds with which to prosecute the war. Senator Teller, silver republican, of Colorado; concluded his speech . began yesterday, advocating the coinage . of the seigniorage, th levying of an in--come tax, and jthe issue of legal ten der notes, and- opposing the issue of bonds.!

"Absoilueiy nothkiig definite can be said," was tihe repay iwlhich Captain Chad'wiiok, of the Netw 'York, made to a question as to what had transpired. ('ince he heard of Admiral Cervera's arrival at- Curacoa, Rear Admiral Samp son. has repeatedQy said the 'believed the .Spaniards would go to Oienfuegos or Santiago de Ouba. ' h : To prove that tlhe American adimiirai was almost sure the Spaniards would be caught, the folio wing may be di vulged without a breach of confidence. Wh en the ships of CDimmodOre Schtley's division were sailing out, of Key West under Rear Admiral Sampson's orders, the admiral set Ithis signal to Captain Phillip, of the Texas: "You are going to nab ' the- Spaniards, and good luck to you." . .-. y - . . . Since then, the rear admiral has been cruising around as a -'purely ppecau tionary imeasure. (He thoroughly .be lieved Commodore Schley wouid .bottle up the Spaniards .either in Cienfuegos or at Santiago de Ouba, .but he took all measures to guard against ,a pos sible evasion of Oonwnodore Spbley by the epemy and' amy ' .attempt to make Haivana through the eastern, or west ern passage, though, thtre la little doubt that the commodore, had he met the Spanish hips, could have defeat ed them. l There 4s g'ood reason to .believe, from a strategic ' ijoint of view, that imore can be gained iby the Spaniards being bottled up iti iSantiago die Cuba, than to an engagement which, though. It would result in a victory for the Amer icans, might have resulted li some damage to our ships. .. , In the harbor of Santiago.de Cuba" the Spanish fleet Willi be helpless. The channel leading into the harbor is nar row and the enemy can either be ke a prisoner there iby sinking a few hjulks in the channel, or: he can ibe destroyed by a superior force. ' i " If Commodore ScMey has suocesAful-. ly accomplished t'hls object, ithcrrow seems- nothing to prevent active oper ations upon the . part of the enemy. That is the idea of the best navatf au thorities. The climate in Cuba is, not what it was a. month) ago, but it is much better than It. .will be a month hence, and, before another Spanish fleet can rekch these waters, the nal authOrJiefi hope to see our troops dm possession of a base of operation in 'Gu'ba. The navy would be able to cover the landings of the troops and enable the military forces to get ashore with out hindrance. intense enthusiasm reigns ' tonight among the officers and mem over the news, even though it is not' absolutely certain, 'of the success of the work of the last month. The days have passed slowly and wearily, and. no persons have chafed more over the-, delay andl inactivity than 'those who have been, cruising in Cuban waters since the war .begun. But .if Commodore Schley has really got the Spanish ;.fleet. at Santiago 'de Oiba, it is almost ; as. 'compQete-; a vic tory as could have been expected from a naval engagement. The. Spaniards' policy was to avoid an encounter, and' it would have been dijpeult forany di vision of Rear Admiral ssampson's fleet to have : overhauled or .captured them. But now,- If 'they are bottled up in Santiago de Ouiba and baffled at 'tjhear own game, the future seems ..bright and all that is waited for ds the order to prepare to protect the landing of our military forces in Cuba. Since Rear Admiral Sampson's squadron left Key West an intensely close wa tcb has been . kept for the Spanish fleet, in spite of the belief that it was at the south of Cuba. Sev eral false alarms have been given, the men on the lookout in the tops being so anxious to catch sight of the Span iards that they would see five columns of smoke where only one w.as really discernible; and that the smoke of one of Rear Admiral Sampson's own boats. The tension was' naturall j great. This was not caused by any feeling of doubt as to the result pf a naval en gagement, for . Rear Admiral Samp son's fleet has befen so active since it left Key West, that the Spaniards would have been completely annihilat ed If they' had courted a fight. The fleet as at present constituted ,withoUt Commodore Schley s command, and without the ships actually engaged in the blockade, forms the most power ful squadron ever ' gathered by the United. States navy. Then again. Com modore Schley's ships -are fully able to defeat the Spanish force under Ad miral Cervera. even under conditions favorable" to the enemy, a state of things which is thought to exist - at Santiago de Cuba. It would be mere pastime for the Massachusetts, Texas and Iowa to sink the Vizcaya, Almi rante Oquendo, Cristobal Colon and Maria Teresa if they attempted to file out of the harbor. . CHASING. A SPANISH CRUISER. ; Key West. Fla., May 27. A Spanish steamship, thought to be an auxiliary cruiser, was sighted by the United States warships Wilmington and Ban croft, fifteen miles off -Key West last night, and-at, last accounts she was being chased by the Bancroft. -.- ' The ship was a three roasted steam er and apparently a merchantman of large tonnage. She had one smoke stack. No doubt was entertained of her being a Spaniard, because, when the Bancroft puf after her, she steam ed' away at full speed. - The Wilmington was cuuiius ur for coal when at about 5:30 o'clock last evening and between twelve and fif teen miles off Key West, she saw the smoke of a steamer and turned in the latter's direction. At about the same time the Bancroft came along and asked the Wilmington if she had seen anything of a three masted steamer which had chased the auxiliary gun boat Eagle. The Wilmington then no tified the Bancroft of the three mast ed ' steamer. ' and while doing so, a stranger hove In sight. The Bancroft went after her and the vessel headed southeast, with the Bancroft following at full speedy The chase was a most exciting one when the . Wilmington last, saw the two vessels. It Is presumed .that the Spanish ship, LOOKOUT observing the v Wilmington's military top, mistook her for a battleship and thought it safe to continue scouting, trusting to her superior speed for es cape,! but when the Bancroft' appear ed, the Spaniard wasted no time n iiyiug iu gei away. Captain Todd, of the Wilmington, has no. doubt the Bancroft will catch the Spaniard. : A custom house official here, when : he heard the story, said he had seen a strange ship off Key West, adding that she was gone In the morning. - Captain Todd is confident the vessel beingt chased by the Bancroft, is a Spanish auxiliary cruiser . on . scout duty.; --...':..:.. . :. f The- Wilmington came in from the blockade and reports all quiet therev ENTRIES FIRED UPON. A sergeant of artillerv on dutv at a morrow- oaciery near irxxrt uayiop was fired flapon early this' morning 4y three unknown men. whom he says he knows to be paniards. The fire was prompt ly returned, but the men escaped. The affair,: 'which is involved to a. good deal of mystery, began yesterday afternoon . when ithiree swarthy men made, an at tempt ?to enter the' gate of 'the reserva tion, birt were summarily turned' off by the Eeh'try. No further attention was given ito the incident untdll dast night when between 10 and 11 e'dock the. ser-' geant of the artillery guard, near the mortar ibattery, discovered the figures of three men a few yards ahead of him. Almost Simultaneously with the discov ery, they' opened fire upon- hint with pistols.'' Three bullets whizzed 'harmless ly past the sergeant, but a fourth lodg ed in "the fleshy part of his left arm, just i above the elbow. The1 sergeant d roped his raised rifle, and. as he did so, and before he could raise his rifle agato the men turned and1 fledr out of range, j He sen t several shots after them and then went for 'the guard. -A sharp lookout was kept for the strangers and, soon' after midnight, a suspicious noise was heard outside the gate near which: the mortar" Ibatery la located, Afa investigation' resulted to the discovery of a carriage in the street just ouitside the gate. .The ser geant gave orders to fire and a volley was' sent at the vehicle. At moment later,: it appc s, three men were seen running up. the street and the lire of the soldiers was directed upora ttveon, but 'without effect, the suspects escap ing apparehtly. uinlhanmed. The ser geant deolares that on, the occoslomi of the last visit of the strangers one of the latter carried a suspicious looking package about! three feet long. The sergeant iwho was the prtoolpal in the adveniture wiCh.lthe three strang ers is Charles W. Richards, Battery B., Krai1 Artillery. . ' :.' : CJDV'ERU. NOT AT SANTIAGO.
