CANNONADING RENEWED Report of tlie Sinking of a Spanish Torpedo Boat Destroyer by the ITIas sacnlisett Xroops Landed Near San tiago Under Protection from Our Warslilps Heavy Cannonading The JMerrlmac Crew Confined in JTIorro Castle. T (Copyrighted by Associated Presss) Kingston, Ja., June 6. News has been received here today from Port Antonio, confirming the report brought there yes terday by a vessel from Santiago'de Cu ba, saying the Spanish torpedo boat de stroyer Terror (Furor) had been sunk by an American warship. It appears that the battleship Oregon saw a. long craft sneaking close to the shore and heading toward the harbor. She signaled ' the craft to turn to and the signals were im properly arranged, whereupon the Ore gon opened fire upon her. A 13-inch shell struck t'he torpedo boat amidships . and she sank with all hands. The vessel i3 supposed to have been the Spanish tor pedo iboat destroyer Terror, 'trying to make her-way from Porto Hico into .the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, to rejoin the fleet of Admiral Cervera With which she acrived at Fort de France; island of Mar tinique. The Terror was compelled to re main at Fort de France ovying to' her iboilers being out of order. On the other hand, it is believed the torpedo boat de stroyer sunk may have been the Furor, of Admiral Cervera's fleet, as the riatest reports concerning the Terror seem to show-' that her boilers were still out of order. (Copyrighted by Associated Press.) On Board the (Associated Press' Dis patch Boat Dauntless, off iSantia!go de Cuba,1' via Kingston, Ja., June 6, 10 a. m. Whether the American fleet sunk a Spanish torpedo boat destroyer on Fri day night has not been absolutely con firmed, i At 10 o'clock Friday night, the' cruiser Xew Orleans discovered what appeared to be a torpedo boat destroyer close to the shore and signaled the flagship Xew York that it was eyident a night torpedo attack iwas to be made. Both the New York and the New Orleans opened fire and their shells burst around the dark object. 'Finally, a 13-inch shell from the Massachusetts (not the Oregon as first reported) was fired and' exploded.; The search lights. of the vessels were turned on the spot where the supposed destroyer had been sighted, but not a trace of the boat could be found, and it is believed aboard the New York that she was supk. The first assumption was that the ves sel was the Terror, but it is thought now that it was the Pluton or the Furor, as the Terror is not understood to have been at Santiago.

On Saturday it was reported that "t'hey were working at the hull and the American fleet formed in line of "battle, with or ders to bombard. It 'turned out. that the Spanish were not so engaged and the fleet withdrew. Admiral Sampson had given sipecial orders that el Morro, where the heroes of the 'Merrimac are imprisoned, should be spared in the firing.

Uneasiness as to-Insurgent Treatment of PrisonersThe Monad-. . nock and the Monterey to Reinforce Dewey Spanish Re- serve Fleet Still at CadizCarranza's Denial Delays Expulsion from Canada The Protest of . Ambassador Hay. Washington, June 6. After a lot of conflicting rumors of naval wgage ments, the landing of troops and such matters at "the navy department . there came at. the close of the day orie im portant bit of news embodied in a report fromiAdmiral Dewey of import ant success achieved by the insurgents at Manila. , . The officials have been more anxious than they cared to betray as to Admiral Dewey's condition. They were ."not seriously apprehensive of . personal danger tor the fleet, but an impression was gaining ground that the admiral had not maintained tlie same measures of success in' his operations in Manila (bay that rewarded his first, effort. Now the report received goes to show that his plans are working- out admirably; that he has succeeded in placing upon the insurgents the burden"of conduc ting military operations against tlie Spaniards while he himself is lying in enforced idleness awaiting the arrival of troops, and that he had succeeded in- preventing the corruption of the. in surgent leaders i by the Spaniards, whicn appeared at one time to be tmeatemng. There is some specula tion here oy anxious minds as to how tne insurgents will treat the prisoners they have taken, who are' more numer ous, it is sam, than ad tne captures made by tne Cuban insurgents since ,tneir war began. It was reported by cable,, soon after he had secured the co-operation oi tne insurgent chief, Aguinaido, that Ad miral. Dewey would see to it that the insurgents observed the rules of civi lized warfare. This caution was made necessary by the terrible tales that had been circulated of the barbarous treatment of prisoners captured by the insurgents. It is sincerely hoped that Aguinaldo will see, to it that this ?f Tnn111 is obsferved in the case of the 1,800 prisoners he now holds, for it is believed in offi&al circles that the nations of the civilized world will hold the United States morally responsible tor any great excesses that may be committed in the Philippines as a re suit of our. action there. The navy department officials- declare that Dew ey is not responsible for the safe-keeping and maintenance of these prison ers, w-hich is most fortunate, consider ing the limited resources of the ad miral in the matter of provisions . THE MONADNOCK TO SAIL. The navy department telegraphed orders today that the double turreted monitor. Monadnock, now at Mare is land, Cai., should be made ready to sail for Manila within ten days. The Monterey will , not wait for the com pany the Monadnock, but should be off in the course of a few hours under the convoy of the Brutus.' The navv department will procure another mer- nSE 1P t0 accomPany the Monad nock on her 6,000 miles' Voyage.- With twin screws and 3,000 horse-power en gines she is easily able to make 12W knots an hour. . Built on the general lines of the Amphitrite, she has better engines and more . power than that monitor'. She carries four 10-inch guns in two turrets, beside two 4-inch rapid nre.guns in a casemate .and a numer ous secondary battery. Her coal ca pacity is-250 tons in bunkers and al most as much more stowage room can be found on the decks. Consequently the Monadnock has the ability to make a longer cruise .than the1 Monterey without replenishing her coal supply yet her capacity is still too small' to permit her to make the passage "rom Honolulu to the Philippines unaided. Uifh these two monitors, Admiral Pewey will be fully, able to take care Of himself even should the much-talked of Cadiz fleet undertake to attack him in Manila harbor. The monitors at their maximum draw only 14 feet of water, or 10 feet less than the Span ish battleship Pelayo, and, therefore, would be able to pick their position in the shallow water where the Spanish battleships could not possibly reach them, and hammer' away at the latter to their heart's content, presenting themselves so small a mark as to ren der it difficult for the Spanish 'gunners to reply effectively. There is no doubt entertained of the Monadnock's sea-, worthiness, for before being recon structed at the Mare island navy yard, she made the entire voyage from Dela ware .clear around the horn to :Sfn Francisco, a voyage longer really than that made by the Oregon. i The Cadiz fleet, vhich was reported to be doing strange things in the We3t Indies yesterday, is not giving the na val officials any concern. They have learned through the state department that the Spanish ships were at Cadiz last Friday, so they could not well have been in the West Indies two dayfe later. Up to the close of office hours it could not be learned at the war de partment that any news had reached there to show that troops had landed in, force near Santiago and the officials high and low, made no concealment of their incredulity. - . Major de. Grandprey, military at tachee of the French embassy, left to night for Tampa, where he will pro ceed with the troops embarking for Cuba. Prince Lieven, of Russia. a captain of the Russian Royal Artillery, and recently assigned for special ser vice in connection with the war, call ed on the war and navy officials to day and later left f of the south. These are the last of the foreign observers to leave for the scene of action. EFBCT OF CA"RRANZA'S DENTAL. "Lieutenant Carranza and Senor du Bosc, who are conducting their Spanish operations- from Montreal, have suc ceeded in obtaining "brief, respite from expulsion, through the denial by Carranza'of-the accuracy of certain features of the "letter attributed, to him... The British authorities acted' on the assumption that the translation-- of the Carranza letter was correc$ and that thus there was no dou'bt that the Span ish officials were using Canada as a base of hostile action against the Unit ed Spates. "But since a question is rais ed as to the, accuracy of the transla tion no step is likely 'to toe taken to-' ward a forciible- expulsion until the translation is established as- correct.
