Plava Del Este, Aug. 13. Admiral Sampson , in the flagship New York, sailed a few days ago for Jamaica to intercept Captain General Blanco, who was supposed to have escaped from Cuba in the Montserrat. . Nothing was seen of the Spanish ship, and the New York returned here yesterday. The Yankee and Dixie are cruising off the north coast of Cuba in search of Blanco. The Brooklyn, in starting from Cienfuegos on the same mission, ran aground Thursday in. trying to avoid a collsion with a transport, but was pulled bff by the Oregon without mishap. ' Admiral Sampson wafe notified this morning of the cessation of hostilities. The New York with the Brooklyn. Iowa, Indiana, Massachusetts and Ore gon, will start for New York tomorrow unless Sampson's recommendation that they be used to carry troops Is ap proved. Admiral Sampson recently visited the wreck of the Maria Terresa. She has been )lghtened by removal of her guns, and it was expected that she would be floated within a week. CLOUDBURST IN TENNESSEE. Seventeen Uvea Lot and Hnadntds of People Readered Boneless. .Knoxville, Tenn.. Aug. IS. The most destructive cloudburst in the history of East Tennessee occurred tn Haw kins county this morning. Just be fore daylight, while the few , inhabi tants at Grassy Fork.' on Beach Creek, were asleep, a heavy shock resembling that of an earthquake, was felt, f ol lowed .by ia terrible, roar. A heavy cloud, contalnlngrmnuons' of gallons of water, burst on "the 'sides of the: narrow - xalleyV Seventeen persons j were drowned and . & gAat amount of that Hay is entirely' satisfied wit proposed change. He has become a little tired of living abroad and would be glad .of a chance to return to his own country and to "Washington, where his home is. even If he were not sufficiently impressed with the idea of becoming: the leading man in the cabinet. Just when Day's resignation will take effect nobody appears to know It is certain, however, that he will cease to be Secretary of State ! before the American commissioners sail for Europe. Almost coincident with his resignation will come that of -John Bessett Moore, as Assistant Secretary ECHOES FROM THE CONFLICT. Returns From Fighting In Porto Rico Con tinue to Come in. Ponce, August 13. General Wilson sent two guns forward yesterday within range of the enemy's earth works crownijng Asamonte Ridge near Aibonito. The Spaniards opened fire upon the road , which was occupied by the Third Wisconsin. The Spanish battery was on" the topmost peak of the mountain. A Spanish shell burst over the head of Captain McCoy of Company L, and fragments spread, killing Corporal Swanson and wound ing Privates Bunce and Vought. Our artillery was soon in place and the Spaniards jvere shelled ; out of their orignial position and for a time their guns were silenced. They re-opened fire a short time after, and also be gan a sharp infantry fire. Lieutenant Haines of the Third Artillery was wounded. Maya was occupied by Schwan's troops Thursday. The Spanish fled to Lares. , did not have supporters enough to create a serious diversion; so it went "to'tlIetable by .a vote that was almost unanimous. The action of the convention looks ominous for Repnblicah harmony. Heretofore the negroes have been as tractable as lambs, while the white Republicans have monopolized such of fices as were going round; but at length the colored brother has come to the conclusion that this is not a jWhite man's government exclusively under the Russell-Butler order of things, and has resolved to make himself a power in politics somewhat proportionate to his voting strength. It is evident that there is some re sentment among the negroes against this blooming scion of an office hold ing family coming into a district in which he has never, voted and in which he is not even registered, and running for one of the best offices within the gift of the people, and it is shrewdly suspected that this feeling is shared by many white Republicans in the dis trict. The result of today's proceedings is not likely to inject a great deal of hil- arity into Grandson, Oliver canvass. ; - ' " THE QUESTION OF GARRISONS. BROKE UP THE FIGHT.

The question of garrison forces needed' in Cuba and Porto Rico will be determined by the military commissions which are soon to meet in Havana and San. Juanl The administration has some very de finite ideas on the subject, however and the policy of sending no troops to Cuba until fall will probably be car ried out. In the early fall at least 50,- 000 or 60,000 men will probably be sent to Cuba to occupy the principal towns and coast points. Now' that the armistice has been pro mulgated, there Is a definite 'ear among some officials that the Insur gents in Cuba will renew their activity asralnst the Spanish troops, or take advantage of the Spanish movement to evacuate to commit acts -'of pillage in the enemy's former garrisons.

One New York man is expected to be named, and General Tracer and Joseph II. Choate are viewed, with favor. Every effort will be made to Induce Senator Davis to serve on the commission. The fact that Senator Mills called on the President today has caused his name to be linked with the commission. He Is set down as an ex pansionist. : General Lee will probably be' the leading member of the Havana mili tary commission, and he has been or dered to report to the War Depart ment In person.
