last "Wednesday night Is made in letters
received in this city yesterday by distin-
guished member OF the Cuban revolution
airy party.
According TO the news telegraphed from
Havana the day after, the catastrophe was
due to a collision between the cruiser ana
the merchant steamer Mortera. IL Is now
stated as an absolute fact that the Bor-
castegui was sunk by floating torpedo
launched by an adventurous party OF
Cubans.
The Cuban leader, who received the
letter, said: The Spanish government
knows full well what sunk their best
cruiser in the Cuban waters and sent TO
their deaths Admiral Delgode Parejo, In
command OF the Spanish navy, seven
officers and "a men We know here that
before the dispatch relating to the accident
was sent ID was carefully edited by the
press censor.
'The adyices which have received say
that on Monday night party of 10
Cubans, under command of Captain
Carlos Enrique, left Guantanamo in q
steam launch, which was the recent in
vcntion OF an American. 1t was an In
genious device SO constructed that IL could
be launched some distance away from the
object aimed TO be destroyed, and then by
q piece OF clock-work explode in about 10
minutes after it is sent out The little
party on the steam launch had received
these torpedo launches
Only a Week Before.
"Captain Enrique selected point about
800 yards from the war vessel, from which
TO launch the torpedo 1t wns slipped out,
and as soon as IL was gone, Captain En-
rique gave orderslto steam away as rapidly
as possible The work of the torpedo was
even more speedy than anticipated. Not
Eve minutes elapsed before IL exploded
with a loud report chat was heard several
miles away.
.sFrom what those on the boat say, IL
must have gone off about 30 feet away
from the cruiser and struck her In the
starboard side. 1t Is true that the mer-
chant steamer Morcera was near the war
vessel at the time, and that she, too, suf-
ferei damage but 1t was not serious by
any means, and IL the men on board Of her
had kept their heads they might have
saved some of the lives of those on board
Of the Spanish cruiser.
