that . Senor .Sagasta land the authorir

Cavite, reports' that the United Stales
transpori 'China, with American reirj
forccmentii for Admiral Dewey, arriv
ed at Cavite on Saturday last and that
the other: transports arrived on Sunday.-
The Wuttin also, brought he
news that no advance had been made
by. the Amerioa'n forces. They were
awaiting-the' coming of General ler
ritt.i i who was expected to reach the
place -.within ten days. The Insurgents
.still invested the town. ,. J
The news of the destruction -of Ad
miral CerVera's. 'fleets at Santiago, de
Cuba was 'received at Manila on July
17th and created consternation among
the Spaniards

Manila, before General Merritt arrives.
Jn vie-w of the possibility of an early
peace and the : news from Cuba., th;

the proposal to retire to'" the citadel,
which is utterly defenceless, as sucsh

New York, July 21. A correspond
ent of The Journal, writing from Cai
vite, Manila, July 17th. relates- the re
sult of an inspection of -the- hulls of
the. Spanish warships sunk in Manila
by the squadron, of Admiral Dewey.
The cruiser, Reina Christina shows- th
most complete destruction. The course
of the: Olympia's; 8-inch shell is .clearly
-traced by - a- line of ruin extending
from her stern to her waist. All 'her
woodwork is totally destroyed. There
are very-few large shot holes through
her hull, theprmcipal ones being f rotti
a 6-inch shell amidship and from some
4-inch shells. Charred human remains
were 1 seen in several places. A large
heap of remains , near where the lad
der stood shows .that a rush to -escape
was made by the engineeris force."All
were lost as the: hatches to the engine
anH ra rnnm x tiT-o r 1 ne,rl Tlio nrillaar
C3astillia was less burned, but was ter
ribly wrecked.. There are plain traces
where Ngix big shells tore immense
holes! inher wooden hull. When the
fire startecTMhe: weight of the guns
caved the huliHward. - The warship is
now a mass of twisted iron and char
red beams, a very bad-wreck, resem
bling that of the Maine in appearance.
Everything aft from the engines was
shattered. Three shells entered i amid
ships. The number of deaths wag not so
laVge: as on the? Reina- Christina. The
Don Antonio did not. burn. Shft sank
quickly, riddled by shells of all sizes.
The greatest navoc was done by - the
6-inch, shells; A number of dead bodies
all, huddled together: near -the ladder
leading to ,;the superstructure ' -i shows
that the men were killed by a "shell
as they were attempting to lift the
treasure- chest; to - the - superstructure

naval convoy which was to be fur

troops had been sweltering in the
crowded' ships undef the broiling heat
of ,V tropical sun, while General Miles
had! been chaffing under what he be
lieved to be: inexcusable delayand was
boinbardingithe war department with
dispatches using the strongest terms
that the navy department be hurried
in- Its preparations Tor the expeditioji;
Instructions' of th most positive" na
tur had i been cabled to Admiral
Sampson to supply the necessary .con
voy for General Miles" transports! but,
notwithstanding these instructions,
Sampson proceeded withfhis prepara
tions: for ithe expedition with aj dellb
eraion that exasperated the officials

Tie president, who has been giving
the Porto Rican expedition . bis -per
sonjalj attention, as" he has given, in
deed.i all phases of-the war, : finally
became .deeply concerned lest the part
of the Porto .Rican expedition al
ready sailed from this country should
arrive at m the poirtx of rendezvous in
advance of General Miles.-. It Is fear
ed; that; if General Wilson's command,
which sailed yesterday from Charles
ton! 6hould arrive in advance ot Gen
eral Miles and the i naval- cqmvoys,
serEous danger and possibly- disaster
might result, i as iGeueral , Wilson's
shirks: are-? absolutely, without protec
tion; t " , .
:P.3lIy appreciating'-these facts' and
reading the hecessityi for- prompt , ac-
tiOT in .getting General Miles and his
expedition' started, Presfdent McKirt
ley tthia morning issued personal or
ders through the secretary of the navy
to Admiral Sampson that he should
proceed immediately to Porto Rco With
General; Miles, They were -imperative
to a' degree seldom employed, except
in cases of extreme emergency. They
wereL of ithe sort that .will brook -no
delay in their execution.
Concerning the naval convoys of
General Miles' expedition the navy
department made publiq the following
statement: , '
i Admiral Sampson telegraphed thjs
afternoon ! to the -secretary of the navy
that there has been no delay- in fur
nishing ample convoy to General
Miles, sayings t'A day or two ago
the Cincinnati and New Orleans were
botls placed at , his disposal. The -Col-umfjia
and Yale cajrying troops' are
botljf powerfully armed," says the i tele
gram "and this is. an ample convoy for
his expedition and to effect his land
ing. The Annapolis, ; Wasp and
Lyden had been ordered from Nipe,
the Gloucester, also added, and the
three monitors ordered from ; Key
West. .Under these circumstances
there certainly , has been no -lack" of
naval assistance. Jf General Miles
preferred to wait, the delay was his
owtii However, in further answer to
his J request, the . Massachusetts; and
Dixj were also added this morning,
and' he has -probably started."
This statement shows that -General
Miles will; be backed in effecting his
landing on Porto Rican ' soil by a
strong squadron , of the liavy. In -addition
to the vessels named, ,lt is offi
cially admitted for the: first , time that
the -powerful monitors.) Terror,;; Am
phtrite and -Puritan which have been
at Key West are undert orders to pro
ceed to Porto Rico to assist in the, re
duction of the Spanish forces there.
It ; is known, also, to be not unlikely-
indeed, it isprobable that still another
vessel ;of Admiral Sampson's fleet will
participate in the reduction of the for
tifications of San. Juan. This was in
dicated clearly by -Secretary Long's
statement thisHfternoon concerning the
sailing of Commodore Watson's eastern
squadron to Spain. Ma the, course of
that - statement the:; secretary said the
eastern tj squadron would be "sent, to
Spain ; later, when the Porto , Rican
campaign j permits. It . seems clear
thatiSQme, fat least, of the vessesl will
be ejnployed in the bombardment of
the fortifications of Porto - Rico's
principle city. , f

That Admiral Dewey, has the Situa

exhibited by Ms telegrams, the latest
of which was received today whlchi
without boas-ting. simply: reports; like
the others that have gon. beforej that
affairs are quiet -and satlsfactoryf The
state department has come to ihave
ftiMy as great a, sense of ap'preciatibn
of Dewey's diplomatic abilities as the
country has for his naval ' skill! and
courage and. the best evidence of this
is that it has pot found it necessanf up
to this point to interfere in any; way
either to . protect 1 or to amend his
works.: 1 .. : , i 'y y

covered that the , big double-turreted

' WATSON'S SQUADRON, i.
iSecretary Long; said tonight that the
preparations for fdispatching jthe Wat
son squadron to European waters were
going on uninterruptedly, but that the
department? necessarily would . await
the movement of, the warshlpi at Pota
to R4c6, the Massachusetts and other
ships being required for conveying the
troops fOi.Pprto Rico. This disposed
ofi a rdport circulated' duringjj the day
that th-expedition had been 'bandofi
ed. ' It Vvas felt that the report; was the
most-niischievousi at this tlwje. as fit
indicated a purpose, to yield t the im
plied threats from Europearg sources
that an European: coalition! ?ould re
sult if ihe American warshipttacked
the coast of Spain. Neither he state
nor the: navy departments looig fort any
embarrassment: from European quar
ters outside of Spain,, as a result of the
naval 'movement jagainst the peninsula.
During i the day i orders i were sent to
Norfolk to hurry? forward work oi the
