: - "SOIILiEY." .
''he above ibrief (bulletin, was all the
information the navy department 'had.
to contribute to the press today. This
bulletin went to confirm the press dis
patches which told of the (firing on tine
fortifications at Santiago, but whic'i
hajve been so steadfastly id'iscredite.l
ever since the first report.
The great natural strength of the
Bpanislh position and the formidable
character of their (batteries, as indicat
ed; toy Commodore Schley, have con
firmed the naval officials in the belief
ithat they nave "been wise not to direct
any such reckless, assault upon the
place in the aJbsence of proper forces,
as has 'been advocated in some quar
ters. -The problem would ibe simpli
fied were it known that there were no
gnkies in the .channel. lAs it is, the
problem presented! Hi as enlisted' the
active interest of the army engineers
as well as the naval officers here. It 13
the duty of the army engineers ,ki this.
country to lay just such mines as are
supposed to,sbe in place in Santiago
harbor and they are curious to se how
their brothers in the navy proposes to
.go! about the work of destroying them.
The owners of the Holland submarine
-5xat, who Wad proposed to go nto San
tiago 'harbor and destroy theiSpunish
jwarships at so rouA a vessel, have
come' forward with a. request for a
practical tct iby the naval officers of
(their craft. "
. Notwithstanding the ra'ther positive
tatement coming from Jamacia to the
effect " that the .second Spanish fleet
fromi Cadiz has crossed the, Atlantic
,nd is about to join "Cervera today at
Santiago, .the officers of the navy de
partment refiuse; to ;be..frightened at
what they 'declare to ibe a ibugaboo. It
lappears that the ibasls of the confidence
is a- telegraphic report of as late date
as yesterday, declaring that the" Cadia
ifleft is e till at Cadiz. Morover, they
knW that there are .not so many as
eiXteen warships in that fleet.

Sigsbee commanding, came into, j port
early today, having passed the night

civilian attire, went ashore and thence
proceeded to the navy yard.
After visiting Commodore Bunce, at
the navy yard. Captain Sigsbee con
sented to talk to a reporter. . i
"It was on the 25th when we-cap
tured the Restormel," he said. "I knew
that the Spaniards needed the coal
very badly, and I made every effort-to
see that the'y did not get it. .While off
Santiago with Schley, I saw two Span
ish cruisers, which I am sure were the
Vizcaya and the Cristobal Colon, and
Schley saw two torpedo boats. There
Is no question that they are bottled up
as tight as cantbe in Santiago harbor.
Invent in so close that I made sketches
of their fortifications, f which I am
sending to Washington; . Their guns
could easily have reached. me, but the
batteries made no attempt to fire, for
what reason I do not know. I am go
ing to Washington with dispatches
from the fleet, and as soon as we have
coaled and provisioned we shalj put to
sea again'. This will probably! not be
for three or four days.

REVOLUTION IN SAN DOMINGO.
Tbe Insurgents Well Prepared The
Clyde Line Fanlta In the Service 'of
the Revolutionist The Insurgents
Defeated.
(Copyright by Associated Press.)
Cape Haytlen,f Hayti, June 3.-11:40
a. m. The mystery surrounding the
movements of the Clyde Line steamer
Fanita is now said to be fully explain
ed. It appears established beyond
a doubf that the reports of an uprising
in the republic of Santo Domingo
against the. power of President Huer
reaux are correct. The initial blow
was 1 struck at Monte CristC on the
borders of Hayti," the nearest Domini
can port to Cape.Haytien:
It would appear as though the Fa
nita had 150 Dominicans on hand while
here, who remained in the hold of the
ship, so as to escape attention.
General Juan Ysidro Jiminez and
General Pablo Villanueva are believed
to have been on board. It is also noted
that the former has been in the pub
lic eye in Santo Domingo as a desir
able man for the presidency. "General
Villanueva fought bravely against
President Heurreaux's alleged usurpa
tion and was exiled.
The preparations for the revolution
are ald to have .been very elaborate,
and there is a strong-tener Here that
the revolutionists are sure of success.
According - to the . impression which
prevails at Cape Haytien, the Fanita,
when she left here, had a tried and
resolute body of . men on board and
also carried a heavy supply of arms
and ammunition. The advices receiv
ed here on the subject, say thatr'the
fanita arrived at .Monte Cristi i at -31
o'clock yesterday afternoon and that
the revolutionists had ho difficulty in
taking the town. jj
The most circumstantial reports
have it that the revolutionists are now
in considerable' force and that under
Generals Morale and Vallanueva they
are marching on Puerto Plata, while
another detachment Is moving against
Santiago de Los Caballeres, on the
Yaque river 103 miles of this place.
General Garcia, another important
Dominican leader, is said to be taking
part in the revolution, and it is expect
ed there will be a rising at Santo Do
mingo, the capital of the Dominican
republic. .
President Huerreaux, according to a
common saying . among tne .Domini
cans, has killed off all. the prominent
men on whom he could lay hands' and
who might be rivals. He is said I j to
have. recently resumed the arbirary
execution 'of his opponents, sometimes
.openly, sometimes stealthily. , The
'tragic disapperaaces ' of men of po
litical note have been frequent of late
in Dominica. General Pablo Reyes
is said to be among the officers who
have risen. '
This afternoon the Dominican con
sul here received adispatch from Pres
ident Huerreaux, saying that an at
tempted revolution - at ' Monte Cristi
had . been defeated, that -General Jim
ines fled at the first fire of the govern
ments troops, taking refuge on board
the Fanita, and that all the others who
landed, with the exception of three,
had been killed. Two of. the prisoners
are Pablo Villeriueva, son of General
Villeneuva, and a laborer named Cal-
deron. They will be executed today
with the other prisoners.
The Haytien general Morales and
seven Dominicans who shipped here
are among the killed. Another person
was killed an board the stamer Fa
nita, which put tb sea immediately and
6:30 p. m. A correspondent at Puer
to Plata cables a confirmation, of the
accounts of the repulse of the revolu
tionary party ats Monte Cristi. General
Aiigustin Morales and Romijio Buetz,
were killed. Five of the insurgents
were taken prisoners and shot this
morning. The others escaped in the
steamer Fanita. '.';. T
President Huerreaux left the capital
this morning With three men-of-war.
The correpondent In concluding his
dispatch says the revolutionary move
ment is regarded at Puerto Plata as
of no consequence.

Raleigh, N, C, June 3. At dress pa
rade ofHhe Secpnd regiment this after
noon an order was read, making many
transfers of enlisted men from one
company to another.
Rumor has been given current that
when the companies are -recruited to
106 enlisted men, each company "will be
allowed an additional lieutenant,
This is unconfirmed. Colonel Bur
gwyn said this afternoon he did not
know that It was true.
-Major Dixon, of the Second regiment,
left for Bessemer City tonight to get
recruits. All companies of the regi
ment will get down to active work re
cruiting. Captain Jones, of Caldwell
county, says, there are 214 men in that
county who want to volunteer. Two
complete companies are ready, one
composed of especially selected men.
Colonel Burgwyn says he expects the
first of the supply stores for the regl

Englishmen, many of whom had experi
enced American nospitality, were 4he
hosts, iwhile residen't.Aimerioans were the
(guests. Political, Ibusiness and aiterary
circles were well represenlted, but the
tpurpoee "of making the anair spontaneous
and a wholly unofficial ceiebration ex
cluded the embassy. American and Brit

were practically the same text extended
quotations would 'be monotonous. "Moth

were phrases reiterated by all the speak
ers. :
, The bisihop of Riponi excited the great
est enthusiasm! by a pointed reference
to the war, saying that although both
nations had been, accused of worshipping
the dollar, "we hot'h know when to spend
our money and we know that some causes
are worth .spending any price for."
'Uord! Coleridge prayed that victory
might perch upon th American, man
ner, "in the interests of America; in the
interest of Spain1, and- ln the interest of
common (humanity." "Twice America has
fought w,ith all her might," he said. "The
first fight was forced iby the Imbecility of
the king and she was rigiht (Cheering);
the second time she fought for the free
dom of slaves and the same spirit is
with her yet." (Tremendous cheering.)
He advocated a permanent tribunal for
the settlemenlt of international differ
ences. Lord Brassey eaid there were closer
ties than a written, ailiaace.
Colonel Taylor (raised a 'hurricane of
cheering by saying: "As you have stood
Iby us In our day or trial, wnen your
day of trial comes count upon us."
Sir Frederick Pollock replied, predict

Cape Haytien, Hayti, June 3.-3:15 p.
m'-rThe American fleet, according ' to
advices received by cable from Santia

Spanish control, opened fire again at
YclocK his mornins Friday) on the
rortincation , and warships. . The can
nonade was well . sustained until 4
o'clock a. m,' '
, One of the United States auxiliary
cruisers "well armed" v attempted to
force the passage into the harbor. The
Spanish allowed the cruiser to cross
the first . line of torpedoes, but before
she arrived at the second line they dis
charged at her a torpedo, which broke
a great hole in her side and caused her
to .sink almost instantly, bow firstj. ,
The name of the vessel is not known,
nor is the number of victims reported.
One officer, one engineer and six sail
ors were made prisoners-by the Span
iards. Port Au Prince, Hayti, June 3.-3:30
m- it' is reported here, direct from
Santiago de Cuba, that an American
warship which forced the entrance to
Santiago bay today was sunk 'by .a
torpedo. . . - i
Cape Haytien, June 3.-10:25 p. m.
A dispatch from Santiago says that
the vessel sunk is understood to be the
Merrimac: Only the extremities of
her funnel and two masts are visible
above the water.
The Santiago advices -to Cape Hay
tien, in referring to the sunken vessel
as a auxiliary- cruiser, probably mis
took her character. The Merrimac is
a collier and always has been a collier.
SPANISH BATTERIES SltENCED.
Port Au Prince,, Hayti, June 39:45
p. m. This morning at 8 o'clock the
American squadron again began a
bombardment of the fortifications . of
Santiago, de Cuba, and a.- lively can
nonade ensued for two hours, which
silenced the Spanish batteries. An
American vessel, the Merrimac, de
scribed, in the advices from Santiago
de .Cuba as an auxiliary cruiser, mak
ing a dash to force the entrance, suc
ceeded in passing the first line ' of de
fenses, but was torpedoed about 500
feet up the channel. She went down
"perpendicularly" ( a pio) an officer,
an engineer and six seamen were taken
prisoners. The number of victims is
unknown. Only the funnel and mast
heads of. the sunken vessel can be
seenl . ' .
- There is great excitement in the city.
A part of the population assisted in
the fighting on the heights. Every
body is astounded 'at the audacity of
the American vessel.
The American squadron was cruising'
all the while in the offing. .' -
It will be noted that there is an im
portant discrepancy as to the time at
which the .bombardment ' is said to
have begun this morning between the
dispatches from Cape Haytien and
those from Port au Prince, the former
saying 3 o'clock a. rh. and the latter
o'clockj It is possible that this arises
from a confusion between the figures 3
and 8. ' -

: " DAY'S BATTLE. -On
Board the Flagship' Brooklyn, oft
Santiago de Cuba, May 31, via Port
Antonio, Jamaica, June 1. commoaore
Schley determined to test the batter
ies of Santiago de Cuba today and as
certain their location and capacity. At
10 o'clock he transferred his flag to the
Massachusetts and went on board that
ship. '.'-.'";': '. ' .
At 1:15 o'clock . : the ' Massacnusens
signaled the' Iowa and the New , Or
leans -, to form column- and follow. ; A?
course: due east was steered until; the
ships were about 7,000 yards from the
shore, and then, circling uiitll they -headed
due west, they passed, star
board side pn by the forts. The heavy
13-inch guns of the .Massachusetts and
the 12-Inch guns, of the Iowa were or
dered to open :fire on the Cristobal jCo
lon, which was about 1,000 to. 2,000 -yards
inside, the Morro, while the New
Orleans' large calibre guns were to
open. fire on the forts, so as. to draw
their fire.
The narrowness -of the harbor en
trance and the speed of the ships,
which made ten knots, allowed bf the
Cristobal being a target for only .a few
minute's. In that time it is believed
she was hit twice, but not seriously
damaged. . . ; . -
The entire set of forts, some six in
number, opened fire and the objectof
the expedition was, attained. Some of
the modern guns With- smokeless pow
der were aimed well, . but of all the
shots fired not one did any damage to ;
Commodore Schley's ships: The Cris
tobal Colon, replied to the fire, but all
of her shots fell short. .
The American ships fired not more .
than four rounds from their heavy
guns, consuming in all fifteen minutes
for the ' fight. The Spaniards fired
more than 100 rounds, keeping up the
fire when the ships were fully two
miles out of fhelr range. V
During the action Commodore
Schley occUpied a position , near the
forward 13-inch turret of the' Massa
chusetts and watched r the shells go -
I whistling by as the ships got in the
line of fire from the -batteries, - as un
concernedly as though in no danger of
it. At 3:30 o'clock he was back on the
Brooklyn. !
It Is evident that the Spaniards have
fortified Santiago very carefully and
well. There are a mfmber of modern
guns there, evidently of English or
French, make, and they use smokeless
powder, which makes it difficult to lo
cate them. It will take a heavy bom- -bardment
to dislodge the batteries and
the Spanish fleet. - - .
THE PEACE SENTIMENT IN .
I SPAIN. ' 1 -
Madrid, June 3. Except among jingo
papers like' The Imparcial, a sentiment
in favor of peace is growing.
The correspondent of the .Associated .
Press hias sounded several : politicians
and financiers on the subject and finds
unanimity as to .the desira'bility of a
prompt and honorable peaee. The
pluck of Admiral Cervera's ..; "fleet
against odds and the failure of the,
Americains in their attemipts to laild In . .
Cuba and Porto Rico are regarded as
balancing .the ' Cavlte disaster," while .
evidence of the lack of sympathy for
America on the ,part of the natives .of -the
' Spanish co'lonies, as the Spaniards
argue here, should convince the United
States that the motives for going to
war are completely changed.
, The&e are the arguments heard . In
Madrid and . fostered by recent, ar
ticles In The Temps, of Paris, which
The Erjoca -welcomes and endorses, be
lieving them, sincere. Similar j1 senti
ments have appeared in theP.rIs edi
tion of The New York Herald,
Military men, however, raise no.
voice for peace. They ..are convinced
that the Spanish position at Santiago
de Cuba is .strong enough to repel the
Americans both by land and sea.
' TOEKB "NEWS IN' LCKNDQN. :
London, June 4. The rtunora of
another-attack upon Santiago de Ouba.
are interpreted to mean that Commo
dore Schley has assured: himself ibe- .
yond doubB 'that AdmiraV Cervera's
squadron is Inside the harbor. Other
wise, he would not risk an attack un
til the military expedition had arriv- .
ed. At the same time it is recognized
that the Americans have every motive
Lto force action at the earliest (possible
moment, "both to prevent the possible
escape of Cervera and to avoid giving
the Spaniards a chance to repair and
strengthen" the forts. . .
,! The (Daily (News, though Joining in
the belief that the" latest evidence
leaves small doubt that Admiral. Cer
vera is at Santiago,! continues to dis
cuss the chances that he is elsewhere.
It eays: 'So long as he . "can. dodge
aibout, Jusit so long (will an invasion of
Oulba be deferred. If he! should,- Ibe
well on the way to (Manila, which is not
imposdible, dt would Ibe a brilliant. stroke
ot -strategy. . One American squadron
mrust follow him, leaving the way open
for another Spanish commander to-play
Cervera'a game with a difference."
; With regards to the: reports of peace :
proposals from Madrid and Pars, no
great importance is. attached to them
in London where 4t ls. recognized that
until a decisive action 'has been fought
or the Spanish navy crushed there ts
little liklihood that the.powers will In
terfere. The peace isentimen-t is- manly
connected iwith (busmesa and comercial
interests that are injured Iby the war.
CERVERA BELIEVED ON WAY TO
: - . - l ' BEAINIUA.
Madrid,, June 3. The Madrid news
papers maintain that Admiral Cer
vera's fleet Is sailing In the direction of -the
Philippine islands. -Paris,
June 3. There is a persistent
'belief here and at Madrid that Admiral
Cervera Is not at Santiago de Cuba. -.
.The correspondent of The Gaulois at
Madrid telegraphs from there, saying:
ho has learned from the highest " au
thority that Admiral Cervera has
never been in the harbor of j Santiago
de Cuba and -that the Spanish ships
there belong to Captain Villamll's
torpedo squadron. It appears from tfie
information gathered by The Gaulois '
correspondent that Admiral' Cervera,
after leaving the Cape" Verde Islands,
manouvred so as to deceive the
Americans. . '
