; (No attemipt was made iby the lAimeri-t
(Can commander to bring on a general
lenga-gement, it (being his desire to-flo-cate
the batteries on the hills above ithe
harbor and to determine the (position
otf the Spanish forts.
Shortly before 10 o'clock 'Commodore
Schley left the Brooklyn for the Mas-.
sachusetts, on iboard tf which ibattle
Bihip he remai'ned during the fighting. ',
iAt ter 1 o'clock the signal to form
column was hois'ted on the (Massachur
eetta and the iNew Orleans, tl Iowa,
'and the Vixen fell1 in in : the order
named.
; The iMassachusettg Gleamed slowly
until aJbout five milea west of the har
Bkw entrance, when she .turned In to
jward the sttiore and, when, a'bout 6,000
yards off, turned east again, and bore
dtown on the ihar'bor, the (New Orleans
leiniff close up and the Iowa half a mile
behind. The flagship gradually In
creased her : speed! anil! was runwtag
through the water at the- rate of ten
knots an hour. She drew closer .and
closer to the (batteries and to the anxi
oua rwatdhers on -the other sttiips it
eeeaned that she. would never open fire.
(When, howevr, she had passed the
harbor entrance 600 yards, a .great cloud
lof white and yellow smoke, burst from
(the two 13-in'oh guns to Oner after-turret
"and two shells Tojse over the hill,
one of them striking the Spanish flag-
iship CTistolbal Colon (full and fair as
ishe lay at her anchorage, and the other
falling close alongside. Tine two guns
on ths forward turret were then fired
and their shells in exploding threw up
great sprays close tojthe Colon.,
! All the shore Ibattries ;took aup the
challenge and began a rapid Aire on the
Massachusetts," 'but efefi- was soon toe

thereupon, turned! their guns on the
New Orleans. This cruiser (had ibeen
Klirected to pay attention to the batte
tieg and to draw their fire as much as
ipoasl'ble, and sihe obeyed her instruc
(tions'tp the letter. tHer first shot do-'
cdted a large- 'battery on' the hill above
CVIorro. It flew straight into tihe fort

as a great cloud lof dust and debris -ro se

ing her. That fight was over as far as
the Americans were concerned.
Spanish honor, however, demanded
more destruction of gun powder be
made, and the .ships boomed and the
batteries roared long after the Ameri
can vessels were entirely out of range.
The affair soon beoomeludicrous, as
nearly all of the Spanish shells fell
from-two to three miles from the ves
sels at which they were aimed.- Worse
gunnery was ,-never seen. One lusty
man with a basket' of f brick
bats would be capable f- do
ing as much harm as the
Spaniards seemed capable of creating.
Not an American vessel was struck
and not a sailor injured, ajlthough ful
ly 300 shots wrere nred by the . Span
iards, the Americans firing not over
one-fourth of that number In return.
It is likely that the latter part of
the, week i will see more serious work.

coming down and an attempt will be
made by her to explode the triple row
of mines extending across the harbor
mouth. With these out of the way.

REPORT OF A SECOND BATTLE.
New York, June 2i A special, to The
Evening World, dated. Port au Prince,
Hayti. says that the t United States
fleet renewed the attack upon Santia
go de Cuba this morning.. The people
of Santiago, it is added, are mo
mentarily in fear of .-an attack from
the land side, where there are said to
be 3,00 insurgents. -'
A later dispatch says: - Itis reported
from Santiago that the rebels have at
tacked the city in three columns and
that a bloody fight is going on.
Port Au Prince, June 2. 9:20 p. ni.
No fresh news has been received from
Santiago de Cuba this afternoon. The
report of an attack upon the city by
the insurgents is not confirmed and
appears to be without foundation.
DREADFUL DESTITUTION AT

Cape Haytien, Hayti, June 2.-9:15 p.
m. No direct news has 'been received
here today from Santiago de Cuba, ex-;
cent a reiteration or the reports or me
dreadful destitution of the inhabitants
there. It is - said that now even the
officials are unable to procure a nor

Madrid, June 2.-2:30 p. m. Despite
the statements of the newspapers that
Admiral Cetvera was not present at
the bombardment of Santiago de Cu
ba on Tuesday. Captain Aunon. the
minister of .marine, in an interview to
day, declared that Cervera hoisted hs
flag on the Cristobal Colon in order to
direct , the Spanish operations, "tire
success of which is principally due to
Cervera, who has given proofs of high
strategic ability."
London, June 3.i The Vienna corre-
sDondent of The Daily Mail says
Spain has addressed another appeal to
the powers to '. Intervene inthe war,
and Austria is prepared to accede, but
only in conjunction . with other pow
ers. .
Madrid, June 2.-7 p. m. The report
that the Spanish troopship Alfonso
XIII had been captured by an Ameri
can auxiliary cruiser is without foun
dation. It is announced officially that
the Alfonso XIII is now landing- her
cargo of provisions at Porto Rico.
The captain general of Porto Klco

London, June 3. Yesterday's news,
and that iwihicih comes this morning feas
brought no further feature into the sit-'
uation except increased! mystification
as to whether Admiral Ctervera is real
ly at Santiago de Cuba. -
The (Madrid correspondents: of the
morning papers make the point that
the persistence with which! Senor Sa
gasta and Captain Uanon, the minister
of marine, assert Cervera's presence
there is a mere attempt to mislead the
enemy. the other hand it is argued
that Admiral Cervera could not toe in a
safer place-and that, if lAdmiral Oama-
ra could succeed in, entering! another
West Indian haaibor and, thus employ

COLONEL BlBGWl'N SUCCEEDS
Succeeds in Securing From the War
Department Full Equipment for
Regiment The Wilmington Com
pany Given a' Dinner by Raleigh
Ladles.
" j (Special to The Messenger.)
Raleigh, N. C, June 2. This
was
quite a busy day at Camp Russell. The.
improvement in drill
of ".the
new
companies is marked.
Colonel Biirgwyn was seen this af
ternoon and I said he had succeeded in
securing everything on the quarter
master's and ordnance issue lists for
his regiment. He showed me general
order ; No. 42, giving him equipment
of the .Second regiment. He gets ev
erything on a basis of 925 enlisted' men,
including calibre 45 , Springfield rifles,"
model 1887, with cartridge belts, also
flannel blouses, trousers and shirts,
campaign hats, leggings, undercloth
ing, socks and shoes, blanket bags and
complete field equipments, including
shelter tents, of which each man car
ries a half, and twenty-four Buzza
c.ott field ovens. CopnelBurgwyn was
at nrst tola he would be unable to get
anything, but his earnestness and per
sistence carried the day. He says he
was assured the equipment would be
shipped yesterday. The regiment will
joyfully receive' it. r "
There was a considerable number of
visitors at dress .parade today. The
band is improving greatly. Its new
instruments will arrive with the other
equipments. Many persons advise that
as. soon as the regiment gets equip
ments, it break camp at the fair
grounds and go to the admirable camp
vacated by the First regiment. It will
be what it now needs spacious drill
grounds. Only part of the field and
staff officers of the regiment are yet
mounted. ' - ' -
Thirty young ladies of Raleigh today
gave a dinner to the Wilmington com
pany, of the regiment. They also serv
ed" it themselves in the main building
at the fair grounds. -It .was enjoyed to
the fullest extent.
A regiment of New Jersey troops
passed here today. General Cowles
met them at the depot and paid his re
spects to the commandirfg officer.
Captain Wagner's company is desig
nated as Color company of the Second

Pennsylvania Republican Convention
Harrlsburg, Pa., May 3. The repub
lican state convention met in this city
today and, named a party ticket that
is to be submitted to the voters this
fall. , Congressman William A. Stone,
of Allegheny, was named for governor.
There was scarcely any opposition to
the programme for the work of the
convention as outlined by Senator
Quay and his lieutenants, those oppos
ed to the nomination of W. A. Stone
for the head of the ticket contenting
themselves with the concentration of
their vote on Charles W. Stone. The
vote was uncomfortably close for the
Quay adherents, Colonel Stone receiv
ing only fifteen more votes than the
number necessary to a choice. The 163
votes cast for C. W. Stone represent
ed the combined strength of that can
didate and John Wanamaker. The
latter provided the only sensation of
an otherwise cut and dried convention
by presenting a letter of withdrawal,
in which he denounced the methods of
the dominant republican faction and
urged his friends; to support C. W.
Stone. , Mr. Wanainaker's. retirement
from the fight qaine as a startling sur
prise to the delegates and it is under
stood that he determined upon that
course only a short time before his
letter "was read to the convention. The
withdrawal is interpreted to mean that
Mr. Wanamaker lias placed, himself in
a position to run as independent candi
date for governor if he so elects. He
has repeatedly, In his speeches served
notice on the convention, that if W. A."
Stone was nominated he would con
tinue his fight against the "Quay or
ganization."
Hawaii an Ally of the Unitsd States
Washington, June 2. The naval of
r
flcials now calculate that Hawaii has
become an ally of the United States
government in the present war 'with
Spain and that at this moment our
government is responsible for the pro
tection of the Hawaiians from'the con- 1
sequences or r meir friendship' for us.
According to the calculations of the
officials of the navy department, the;
United . States cruiser Charleston ar
rived at Honolulu last Saturday. , She
has probably completed ithe taking
aboard of . a full coal supplyland is. now
again on her way westward bound for
the Philippines. The coal was accum
mulated at Honolulu by United States
Consul General Haywood find, in al
lowing the Charleston to pake on a
supply to carry on operations against
Spanish territory, the government oi
Hawaii has cast away all semblance of
neutrality in the present contest and
has thrown in her fortunes with the
United States, for .unless we protect
her she 'is subject to punishment at
the hands of Spain: Moreover, the of
fense against neutrality is to be re
peated, for it is expected that today
the advance guard of the transports
carry ing. troops to Manila are entering
Honolulu harbor to replenish their
coal supply.

the most remnt-irahio iako .t,Iiu I

cruise in the history of modern iron- I

worthy- of her achievement. Coming
.along at a fifteen knot speed, she
swept in a majestic semi-circle
through the fleet to a point opposite
the flagship, solid ranks of white clad,
cheering sailors manning the sides of
each vessel as she passed.
The first news of the Oregon's ar
rival at Key West was brought to the
squadron by the Associated Press dis
patch boat soon after sunrise. The
fleet was consequently on the outlook
for her and when almost at noon there
loomed- up a gray hulk on the north
west horizon, there was vigorous wig
wagging from . ship to ship. Marine
glasses showed the ponderous outlines
of the navy's crack heavy-weight and
showed also that she carried "a bone
in her teeth" as she piled up the white
water on each side of her bow. "Fif
teen knots, If it's a mile," was the ver
dict, as she raced in on the home
stretch of her long journey, and
watches held on her as she approach

list to port from hastily filled bunkers
that there had been no time to trim
since dashing into Key West for fuel

broke into yells, which came over half
a mile against the wind, and the crew
of the Oregon sent them back with in

of Condition of the CubanArmy.
Washington, June 2. lt was plainly
noticaJble -at the navy departmetn to
day that the .offlicdala were expecting
news of the first importance, ibut that
they did not look for' It immediately.
The firmness with wthich they nave in
sisted that Schley could' nave had no
general engagement with the Spanish
ships and forts at Santiago, as was re- '
(ported, appeared to toe ibased on a full
knowledge of the .plans' under which
the commodore is acting, and the'great
est concession tlhey would make toward
admitting that a fight had taken place
Tuesday was ta say that possibly
Bclrfey had detected some earthworks
going up and razed therm with his
shells.' They were comtfident ihe made
- no attempt to enter the huibor.
It is ibelieved, now, (however, with
Sampson in 'the field and in command
at Santiago with an augmented force,"
that' interestiner events may ;be looked
for. These are expected too, notwith
standing the fact that .no.troops have
yet started fromt Tampa, as was es
tablished by inquiry at the war depart-'
ment this afternoon. The Insurgents
are known? to be in "force in the neigh
borhood of Santiago, and ttti rough Cap
tain Jorst, ithe war department, not
only has ;been in communication with
them, but has supplied them fully with
good weapons and am abundance of
ammunition. The headquarters of the
best of the Cuban generals, Garcia, are
distant from! Santiago only seventy
five miles, so that it is possible Sampson
feels strong enough, with 'their support,
to ibegin! the assault flty sea upon the
doomed Spanish fleet and forts without
waiting the arrival of the United States
troops from Tampa. -
The trend of the news that carme to
Washington froml -unofficial! sources
during the af ternoooi all went to sup-
port this 'belief so there is some ground
for the expectation- of the officials that
important information! may ibe expect
ed shortly. -
SPAIN'S PROTEST TO ENGtLAINID.
The Spanish government 'has t made
a protest to the. British) authorities
against the shipping of Canadian coal
from British 'North! America to San
Francisco for the relief of the ships of
Admiral Dewey's fleet at (Manila and
also against the shipping of coal from
Nova Scotia to lAtlantic ports'-for use
by United States warships operating
in the West ' Indies. It 'is understood
that Spain's protest has not proved of
avail. The subject was referred to the
Canadian authorities, who, upon Inves
tigation learned that the coal ship
unieints .from 'British, (North America and
from Nova Scotia, were in the: ordinary
course of commercial . transactions.
They were made toy private parties in
Canada to private parties in the United
States. Whether the coal subsequently
passed into the hands of the United
States government,- for use. by the
American, navy, was held to be outside
of the province; of the British and Ca-
nadi,anuthoritiS. It is proibable that
any direct sales 'to the navy diepart-

If the queen regent of Spain, has in

ers to intervene for peace that move
ment has not yet taken any form in
Washington, either at the state depart
ment or attany of the foreign embas
sies. Amonig aiipiomauc omciais, ai is

SENOR CAPOTE IN NEW YORK.
New York, June 2. Domingo Mendez
Capote, the vice ' president of the Cu-: .
ban republic, arrived in this city at
noon today. After goine to a hotel.
wheVe he met General Palma, the head .
of the Cuban Junta, he visited Cuban
headquarters, where he met a number:
of. . newspaper' representatives, with
whom he talked quite freely, Horatio
b. Kubens, the counsel for the junta,
acting as interpreter. .
When asked what his mission to this "
country was, Senor Capote replied that
before saying anything about that, he
wisnea to. thank the American press
collectively for the stand it had taken'
in the behalf of the Cuban Insurgents,
stating that, the Cuban people and the
government were deeply grateful for
the support given by the American
people, and for the action of this na
tion in coming to their support. Con
tinuing he said: . .
, "My. mission is not a public one. " AH
public acts relative to the situation
between the United States and the
Cuban republic will continue, as here,- -tof
ore, to be conducted ; by General
Palma. He has the thorough confi
dence of our people, who have a high
appreciation of what he has done.
"I do not come here to negotiate any
loan. I come to consult witH General
Palma ? on a matter which' does not
concern international questions or
public Interest. I have no present In
tention of calling upon President Me
Kinley, although I . probably shall
make a call upon him before I return.
How long I shall remain here I cannot
say at this time, but shall make my
stay as short as possible."
STRENGTH OF THE CUBAN ARMY. -
Mr. Capote holds .the position of
judge" advocate' general in the insur
gent army. Questioned as to , the
strength of the army, he said:- . "
"Not counting those who have re
cently joined his forces, Garcia has
about 12,000 men under him -in the I
eastern department at Santiago and
Porto Principe. About 3,500 of these
men were, in the neighborhood of San
tiago when I last received word. AH"
were fully armed and equipped and it
was the intention" to . concentrate' all
of the force in the eastern . portion to
that .point.
"I cannot tell definitely how many
men there are in the other provinces. -Gomez'has
5,000' men in Santa Clara1. .
Probably 30,000 men, all . f ulfy armed
and equipped, are in . the ranks of . the
Cuban army. A large number, prob
ably 20,000, more are " armed with
machetes, and there are thousands of
others who have, recently . left the
towns to join the army because they,
could no longer live in Ihe towns.
From' Porto Principe alone, 10,000 men,
women and children have left because
of the scarcity of provisions, prefer
ring to take their chances in the 'coun
try, and further Influenced by the fear
that at the last moment, the Spanish,
forces, driven to despair, will, put of
revenge; resort to slaughter."" v
He last , saw Gomez ln May, at which'
time the headquarters .of the Cuban
government were " at ' Sebastopol, , a
town in Porto Principe.
"We had complete dispatches ' front
General Palma," said Mr. Capote,
"keeping us Informed- of .the action of,
the United States ,and the movements
of the army and navy. Lieutenant
Rowan saw Gomez at Clberga, and had
a conference with him concerning sail
ors and guides to "be furnished the in-
vading troops from the Insurgents."
