Spanish Warships Off Cuba A government tug arrived at Key West Thursday and reported that fottr strange vessels, supposed to be Spanish warships trying to elude the blockade squadron and enter Havana or lying in wait for the American transports, had been sighted north of Cuba. The news caused much uneasiness at Washington and orders were sent to Admiral Sampson directing him to use every precaution in conducting ' the army safely to Santiago, r 'Four. Negro Regulars Killed. IVom a private letter received in Sa vannah Thursday it was learned that a fight between United States regulars and volunteers j took place , at ', Tampa Monday night, the news having been suppressed by the telegraph censor, i Drunken negro regulars and white volunteers from the south were the combatants, and when the smoke of battle cleared away it was found that four of the former were dead and sev eral badly wounded. ''? ,..' Sixteen Warships as Convoys. Humors to the effect that Spanish Warships were cruising in southern wa ters resulted Friday in the dispatch of an American fleet of 16 warships to serve as a convoy for the trpopsh '.pa from that place. ! i It was announced that th transports, which were said to have sailed for Cuba Wednesday, had been ordered, back when news of the enemy lying in wait reached Washington. Another Town Rombarded. Several American warships Friday bombarded Baiquirt, some distance east of A gu adores, and near the railway line to Santiago de Cuba. S Spanish official advices from Santiago asserted that the - bombardment caused no damage. 1 ? ' Six Hundred Slarines IjandeU. According to advices received via Port Antonio, Jamaica, Saturday, the, inva sion of Cuba by the American forces began Friday, when 600 marines pitched their tents about the smoking ruins of the outer fortifications at Guantanamo and the stars and stripes for the first time were hoisted on a Spanish flagstaff. I orty marines from the battleship Or egon went ashore and occupied the left entrance of the bay until the troopship Panther arrived with 600 marines. These, under the command of Lieu tenant Colonel R. W. Huntington, ar rived at 3 o'clock, and within half an hour they had burned the buildings of the Spanish camp and had set fire to the village. . - ; Numerous shots were fired by the Spaniards, but none of them landed, j and no Americans were injured. , f i Americans Killed In Cuba. i Lieutenant Colonel R. W. Hunting ton's battalion of marines, which landed from the transport Panther on Friday and encamped on the hill guarding the abandoned cable station at the entrance to the harbor of Guantanamo, was at tacked by Spanish guerrillas and regu lars at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The fighting was almost contiuous for 15 hours until 6 o'clock Sunday morn ing, when reinforcements were landed from the United States cruiser Marble- head and the Spaniards were driven back. - ' Four of our men were killed and one wounded. American dead: Assitant Surgeon John Blair Gibbs of Richmond, Ya. Sergeant Charles H. Smith of Small- wood. Private William Dunphy of Glou cester, Mass. Private James McColgan of Stone- ham, Mass. Corporal Glass was accidently injured in the head. : . The Spanish loss, while not known. was pro Da Diy considerable, ; Spaniards Again Open Fire. News was received Monday of another attack on the American marines at Guantanamo. The Spaniards opened a lively fire, which was promptly an swered, and in a short time all signs of the enemy had disappeared. t As a result of this second attack Lieu tenant Colonel Huntington decided to abandon the position first occupied, there being no signs of reinforcements of troops, and accordingly camp was broken and tents were pitched on the side of a hill near the harbor, under the protection of United States warships. Army of Invasion Sails. The First division of United States troops to begin the invasion of Cuba sailed from Key West Monday. The expedition comprised 773 officers and 14,56-1 enlisted men, all under the com mand of Major General Shafter. 1 A large force of transports conveyed the troops under the convoy of a strong squadron of warships,, ranging from the Immense battiesmp to tne smau gun boat and the armed fast sailing yacht. The United States regular troops made up the greater part pf the force, there being but three volunteer organi zations on the ships. f These were the Seventy-first New York infantry volunteers, the Second Massa chusetts infantry volunteers and t. two dismounted squadrons of four troops each from the First United States vol unteer cavalry.

SHIPS REFUSE TO WORK No Reason Given For the Unexpected III ten In the Sailing of the Army of Occupation Officials Say Boats Are Under Way at Last. , Washixgtox, June 14. Official in formation has reached Washington to the effect that the fleet of transports,, with 'troops for Santiago, which Was supposed to have left yesterday for Cuba, had not sailed up to an early hour this morning. No reason has been stated, so far as can be learned, for this very unexpected delay in the movement against Santiago. The officials positively decline to dis cuss the matter, but clearly show by their manner that tho news is most unwelcome. , Later advices received during the afternoon show that a start actually was made yesterday, but that the movement dragged and that many of the ships did not move until some time this forenoon. It is supposed that all the vessels are now fairly under way. The public probably will be fully informed tomor row concerning the movement, as the authorities here have determined to withdraw the censorship thus far en forced from Florida points some time tomorrow. . Allowing three days for the trip, Gen eral Shafter's forces will be in the vi cinity ot' Santiago by Friday noon and it is expected that the debarkation will take the rest of that day and night and part of the following day. - Preparations are being matured for an advance on I'orto xiico. Admiral Sampson has been instructed to be ready to detach a portion of his fleet to move on San Juan at short notice. It is prob able that he will place Commodore Schley in command ot the fleet that will attack the Porto Rican capital. Major Oenerals Uoppinger and Lee, who will command the army that is to invade Porto Rico, have been for a week preparing their troops to sail. This army cannot be put in readiness to leave Tampa for two weeks. The transports that are moving troops to Santiago will be largely depended upon to transport the troops to Porto Rico, as there are but few other steamers suitable for the purpose. Tne fleet win destroy the iortihca- tions at San Juan before the army reaches there, thus making an opening for the troops. It is now believed that the navy will attack San Juan within the next ten days.- . , BLANCO FAILS ONCE MORE. General Attempts to I.ure Our Ships Wllhin Hat tery Kng. Key West, June 14. Captain Gen eral Blanco has apparently not yet abandoned the hopo of luring the Amer ican warships within range of the Ha vana batteries. He tried it again on last Friday morning, but with no better success than in his previous attempts. Advices received here today are to the effect that five Spanish ships ran out to the mouth of Havana harbor on the day mentioned and headed in an easterly direction. The vessels of the blockad ing sqTadron were lying well off shore, the nearest not being closer than 2,000 yards. Upon sighting the Spaniards they ran in a short distance and opened fire on them. The volley of the shot and shell brought no response from the enemy, but the quintette of ships speedily turned tail and, hugging the shore, ran back into the harbor. The American ships, however, did not accept the bait, and made no further attempt to molest them. The character of the Spanish boats could not be positively fixed on account of the distance, but American officers who participated in the affair say one or two were small gnntxmts of the class which has been maneuvering all along the north co&st in futile efforts to draw the American ships within the fire of the Spanish batteries. Second Blanlla, Expedition. Mare Island Navyyard, Cal. . June 14. The monitor Monadnock and the collier Nero will probably leave here on Wednesday in time to accompany the second expedition to the Philippines. All the work necessary to be done on the Monadnock will be completed today and the Nero will be out of drydock to night. She will have to coal at San Francisco, but arrangements have been made to expedite her loading and there will be but little delay on this account. Another Recruiting Station. Birmingham, Ala., June 14. lieu tenant Jarvisof the Fifth infantry, stationed up to a short while since in Atlanta, at Fort McPherson, has come here and opened a recruiting station. He will remain here a few weeks. A large number of other stations for vol unteers under Colonel Sargent have been opened in Birmingham and in the state, while the First Alabama regi ment has a recruiting station here also. Astor Battery Is Coming. ; Pittsburg, June 14. The Astor bat. tery of New York,, consisting of 98 men and three officers, reached Pittsburg over the Pennsylvania railroad at 8:55 o'clock this morning and left an hour later for the west. : The train was made up of three Pullmans and two baggage cars. War Lioan Oversubscribed. : Washington, June 14, Treasury offi cials say the indications are that the $200,000,000 loan will be largely over subscribed. ' j Savannah Furnishing Water. ; Savannah, June 14- The tank steam ship Maverick, whieh hps been here loading water to be used by the troops at Key West, sailed today. The city sells the artesian water to the govern ment for 4 cents for 1,000 gallons, a fig ure considerably below what they could get it for -at - Key West, or from other points. The success of the Maverick's trip appears to be assured, and it is said the government will soon send other vessels here for water for the fleets, as well as for the soldiers. No Word From Santiago. Port au Prince, June 14. No war news has been received here up to this hjaur today from Santiago de Cuba or CHIPS OF THE OLD BLOCK. Grandsons of Admiral Semmrs Now , ' In the Army and Xavy. Memphis, June 14 Three of ths grandsons of Admiral R-'-aelSemmes, who commanded the famous confeder ate commerce destroyer Alabama, are now jn the army and navy of the United States They are the sons of General I E. Wright, who married the admi ral's daughter. General Wright was himself an artillery officer in the con federate army. : ;, ' v ! One sona cadet at Annapolis, is now with Sampson's fleet; another is a ser geant in the First Tennessee volunteers, and another, E. E. Wright, has been commissioned a major in the Fourth Tennessee volunteers. Another confederate celebrity, Dab ney Scales, left here yesterday for naval service. " Scales was a classmate of Cap tain Sands of the Columbia, at Annap olis, and was a lieutenant on the con federate cruiser Shenandoah, the la3t to surrender. He goes to the Fishhawk at Philadelphia. " SAGASTA IS FOR PEACE Premier Desires tho Struggle Stopped at Once. . FRENCH URGE SURRENDER President Still Determined to Enter Into No Negotiations Based on the Return of the Philippines Spanish Dynasty May Yet Fall. Washington, June 14. The proba bilities of an early peace between the United States and Spain are the main topic of conversation among diplomats. Already France is trying to convince Spam that the time is ripe for a peace proposal, actuated, so eminent diplo mats say, by her large holdings of Spanish securities. The state department has received unofficial advices that Sagasta is will ing that peace negotiations should be opened at once. Diplomats familiar with the Spanish people say that upon learning, of another victory by the United States similar to that of Admiral Dewey the populace will overthrow the dynasty. Should this happen the war might be prolonged indefinitely. The people have been so deluded that they believe Span ish arms are superior to those of the United States, and will insist upon try ing conclusions. " President McKinley and Secretary Day will not enter into negotiations based on the return of the Philippines. Spain must submit to the terms of the United States. She will be permitted to Offer propositions after the negotia tions are begun, but until that time she must sue for peace without any reserva tion. From the preparations being made it appears as though the Philippine islandj are to be held indefinitely. According to the best information the islands will be occupied by Xie United States troops even though Spain offers to pay an in demnity. The president has announced that no peace propositions, will be - considered until after armies 'of occupation have landed at Porto Rico, the Philippines and Cuba. The president knows that with troops on the islands and a mili tary government in operation much bet ter terms can be made with Spain. The expeditions to the Philippines should land and occupy the islands within a short rime. Marines have already landed in Cuba, thus bringing that much nearer the consideration of peace, and a move ment will shortly be made on Porto Itico. .; i NO FEAR OF CADIZ FLEET. Spain Will Hardly Expos Her Only Ship to Our Shell. Washington, June 14 Navy depart ment officials do not believe that ths Cadiz fleet, which is reported about ready to sail, will attempt to cross the Atlantic. If the fleet leaves at all, it is thought that it will merely go out on a blind sea cruise for the effect it will have at home. With her Asiatic squadron destroyed by Admiral Dewey and the Cape Verde fleet as good as captured, it is not thought that Spain will expose its only remaining fleet to the shells of Admiral Sampson, which would mean certain capture or destruction. However, if the Cadiz fleet comes this side of the ocean, fast scouts, which are scowring the sea for Spanish ships, wiil immediately report its presence to Ad miral Sampson and before damage can be done it will be intercepted by the American fleet. The Minneapolis, Cincinnati, Yale, Harvard and Yankee, which have been coaling at Newport News, are to be used as scouts to patrol the seas day and night" in search for the enemy. These ships are the fastest in the navy and would quickly discover the Spanish fleet. -":.'.

SAMPSON ON THE BATTLE tlear Admiral Reports to the Navy Department Now . Absolutely No : Doubt About Cervt-raaud Ills Whole Fleet Be-lug at Santiago. Washington, Juno 14.The navy de partment today posted the following bulletin, dated Mole St. Nicholas, June 13, from Admiral Sampson: "lieutenant Blue jast returned after a detour of 70 statute miles of observa tion of the harbor of Santiago de Cuba, lie reports Spanish fleet is all there. The Spanish attacked vigorously, the camp at Guantanamo. An outpost of four marines were killed and their bodies mutilated barbarously. Surgeon Gibbs was killed." The last lingering doubt "that may have existed as to the presence of Cer- vera's fleet, in its entirety, in Santiago harbor, was removed when Admiral Sampson's dispatch reached the navy department last ' night. Up to that time information as to tho number and character of the vessels lying in the harbor, shielded from observation in great part by the hills at the entrance, had been obtained through Cuban sources, supplemented by such glimpses as could be obtained by naval officers from the outside entrance. Now, however, according to Lieuten ant Blue, the ships have been actually 6eeu by an American officer, counted and inspected from, such points of van tage as were afforded by the laigli nun surrounding the harbor. The officials here are lull of praisa for Lieutenant Blue's achievement. He was, in tho eye of military law, nothing more nor less than a spy. and had he been caj tured by the Spaniard he would ha been tried by drumhead courtniartial and executed. Considering the fact that the marine fight at Guantanamo last Saturday night was really the first engagement of the war on shore. Admiral Sampson' reference to the affair in his dispatch posted this , morning was remarkably brief. Hence it is inferred that perhap not much importance had been attached to it by the public. The action of Lieutenant Colonel Huntington in removing his men to a more secure point than the exposed po sition occupied by them on crest heights is taken here as an indication that no movement is to be attempted by the marine corps, but that it will limit its operations to the defence of a small point in Guantanamo harbor to protect the coaling of our warships and perhaps to serve as a cable station when the necessary operators and instruments are secured from Cape Hay tien to enable Sampson to reopen the cut cable. It does not follow by any means that the place seized and bcld by the marines on Guantanamo bay is to be used as a point of debarkation of the United States troops now on their way to Cuba.' On the c mtrary there is the best reason to believe that another point very much adapted for a landing has been selected. The officials here were very reluctant to believe that the Spanish who fought the marines at Crest Heights had bevn guilty of the horrible barbarism o. mu tilating the bodies of soldiers. Tllrst press reports, by some of the oCh ers were supposed to be l ased upon the hor rible wounds inflicted under certain con ditions of range by the steel clad bulJet of the, Mauser rifles. Admiral Sampfon's report, however, seems . to remove all doubt on that point, for his surgeons undoubtedly would be able to distinguish at ence be tween the effects of a bullet and of a machete. MARINES AGAIN FIRED ON. United States Forces Once More At tacked by Spaulnrds. New York, June 44. A special dated off Camainera, June 13, via Mole St. Nicholas today, reports that there waj a renewal Sunday of the Spanish at tacks on the marines. The fighting is said to have lasted all through Sunday night. Camp McCalla and Crest Hill being attacked by grcatly superior forces of the Spanish. The United States battleship Texas, the gunboat Marblehead and the collier Abarenda supported the marines by di recting a fire upon the coast, and par ticularly the bushes, which, all through these encounters, have served to screen the movement! of the Spaniards. Philippine Natives Barred. San Francisco, June . 14. A general order has been issued to the effect that no native Philippines shall be enlisted in tho army of ' the United States. Among the recruits for Company L, Seventh California volunteers, is Ong Q. Tow, a Chinese, who was born in this state 25 years ago. ; He is a citizen and a qualified voter of the town of Santa Ana.

Disastrous Attempt to Cross Charlotte Sound. Queen Victoria, B. O., Juno 14. The cap tain of the steamer Lapwing, which hn.3 5ut returned from Alert bay, reports that nhie sternwheel steamers of a fleet of 15 have been seriously damaged while attempting to cross Queen Charlotte sound.

M Y ST E R Y CLEA R E D AWAY. Identity of the 31 an Shot In Alameda Is Kstabllshrd. San Francisco, June 14. The mye tery surrounding the identity of Hugh W. Williams, who was shot during a quarrel at the home of Mrs. Abbie Gregory in Alameda, is partly cleared away by documents found in the room of the dead man which show that he received letters from England addressed "Sir Hnprh W. Williams, Bart , E. G. E-, M. I. C. E." This would indicate that Sir Hugh Williams was a baronet, a fellow of, the Geological society and member in civil engineering. At one time Wil liams was a member of the great ma chine firm of J. E. H. Andrew & Co. of Redditch, England, Williams left England a few years ago and 'went to Victoria, B. C.

With the exception of Admiral Mil ler, all of these officers are likely to bo retained in their present places after their retirement during the continuance of the war with Spain, because of tho nonavailability of officers on the active list to tako their places. Retired ofll eers are iubject to duty of this kind in time of war at the discretion of tho president. It i3 different, however, with Admiral Miller, lie is in com mand of a fleet and retired officers aro not eligible for such duty unless specially authorized by act of conirres. Admiral Klrkland is a native of North Carolina, and it is his purpose to fnako his home in that state when he is re lieved from duty. Of the seven rear admirals only two are in command of fleets Admiral Miller, commanding the Pacific squadron, and Admiral Dewey, commanding the Asiatic squadron. Of the six oflleers having flag commands, two are full rear admirals, one an act ing rear admiral and the others aro commodores. Admiral Miller, the senior officer, has three vessels in his Bquadron and acting Rear Admiral Sampson, tho junior of them all, has over 70 vessels under his command. The last named officer does not at tain the actual rank of a flag officer un til he becomes a commodore next month by the retirement of Adm ral Kirkland. Ilis rank as captain, which he now bears in the naval register, would not ordinarily entitle him to a higher oom niand than that of a Einglo vessel, and hi putting him in command of tho largest and most powerful fleet that was ever gathered under the United States flag tho president found it necessary to give hint the nominal rank of acting rear ad miral. That designation clothed him with all the authority necessary to the sxe cution of the highly important duty confided to him, but carried with it no increase of pay or emoluments and no permanency of rank. No greater com pliment waaever paid an officer of tho United States navy. - SAN JUAN FORTS NOT HURT. Steamer Tyrlan Brings News of the Porto Itlcan Dombardment. New York, June 14.
