Schley's squadron, shelled
the Notifications at the entrance of San
tiago harbor this morning. The other
vessels OF the fleet were not engaged.
Commodore Schley's official report, or
such part Of it made public by the navy
department, says the Notifications were
attacked merely for the purpose Of ascer-
tanning their strength and the location Of
masked batteries. The report also says
that the Spanish fleet, hidden in the har-
Dor, fired over the hills at random.
An apparently authentic news report Of
the engagement says it lasted fifty-five
minutes. Three out of four batteries
were silenced, and Moro castle was par
TALLY destroyed. The "Christoba Colon,
flagship of the Spanish fleet, was anchored
in the channel, and in sight OF the Amer
lean fleet, but some distance inside the
barbor. She replied to the American fire.
1t Is believed she was hit once by a shell
from the Iowa, but no serious damage
was hit.
FRIDAY, JUNE 2.
The sinking OF the Ameri-
Yankee can collier "Merrimac" in the
Heroes at channel of Santiago harbor,
Santiago. the first news of which came
from Spanish sources and in
dicated a Spanish victory, assumed
a ba, 4 foo no
came known. The "Merrimac" was sent
in by Admiral Sampson for the purpose
of blocking the channel and locking the
Spanish fleet in the harbor.
The "Merrimac' was selected for the
work because she was an iron steamer,
and her machinery was out OF repair.
She was $50 feet long, and by sinking her
in the channel she would effectually block
it. Admiral Sampson called for volun-
teers to man the steamer and go to what
seemed certain death. The men on all
the ships responded almost to man.
Eight men were chosen for the hazard

twenty-seven years, an assistant naval
constructor, was put in command. The

san Juan May 81.
THE "REsroRMEL" RELEASED.
The British steamer "Restormelo,
captured off Santiago with cargo of coal,

CUBAN EXPEDITION SAFELY LANDED.
An expedition of $50 men, with 1000
rifles and large quantity of ammuni
ton, WAS safely landed at Guantanamo,
Santiago province, May %, and joined

ANOTHER MONITOR FOR DEWEY.
The monitor "Monadnock', now ON the
Pacific coast, has been ordered to prepare
for sea. Final orders have not been
given, but it is understood she will be
sent to Hawaii to reinforce the "Benning-
ton" and "Mohican" if future develop
ments make it advisable, or else will go to
Manila to join Dewey's fleet.
The "Monadnock" is a modern monitor,
not as formidable as the Monterey, but
equal to any two vessels Of Dewey's
present fleet

The name Of Commodore Schley, Of the

family.

MANILA HERO DEAD.
Capt. Charles V. Gridley, who COM
manded Admiral Dewey's flagship "Olym
pia", in he battle of Manila, died Satur-
day. Capt. Gridley had been tinvalided"
home, and was bound for home when he
died. The despatch announcing his death
came from Japan.
SPIES MUST LEAVE CANADA.
The Spanish spy system which was
established by ex-MIinister Polo, in
Canada, and since operated by Lieut..
Carranza and Senior Duboss, formerly
connected with the Spanish legation at
Washington, has about run its course.
The discriminating letter written by
Carranza, which was captured by U. S.
secret service detectives, has been sub
mitted to the British government, and
prompt action to expel the spies from
Canada doubtless will be taken.
This, however, may become unnecessary
il the Spanish officials withdraw from
Canada at once, as there appears to be no
disposition to prosecute them or to give
them an enforced expulsion SO long as
they are willing to close their operations
and depart.

toward the harbor and opened on the
batteries, diyerting their attention from
the steamer.
As the "Merrimac" entered the channel
the batteries directed their fire upon her.
She was hit several times, and two Of the
men were slightly wounded, but her
progress was not checked until she
reached the narrowest part of the chan
mel, when her anchor was let go. The
steamer swung broadside to in the chan
mel. Then the eight men set the time
fuse to the torpedo in the hold, entered
boat and pulled away from the steamer.
They had gone but a short distance when
the explosion took place, and the steamer
sank almost Immediately.
1t would have been impossible for the
men to have passed between the batteries
in the small boat, so they calmly rowed
to the Spanish fiag-ship, "Christobal
Colon,' and surrendered as prisoners of
war. Admiral Cervera, with the candor
of a brave man, acknowledged their her
oism, and as recognition OF it at once
sent truce boat to Sampson offering to
exchange The prisoners for Spanish pris-
oners now held by the United States.
Arrangements for the exchange are being
made.

in SENATE AND HOUSE,


Aliens Cuban Recognition Resolution
reported Adversely Ia the Senate.
Washington. Feb. I5--During the
short session Of the senate yesterday
two phases Of the Cuban question We're
adverted to briefly. The amendment Of
Mr.. Allen, of Nebraska. to the dipIo-
matte and consular appropriation bill
recognizing the belligereEcy of the Gu
ban insurgents was reported Adversely
by the foreign relations committee, not,
as Mr.. Morgan explained, on the merits
Of the amendment, but because the
committee did not approve OF lacking
fuch legislaticA to appropriation bills.
Mr.. Morgan's resolution calling upon
the president for reports of United
States consu.s in Cuba and for infor-
nation as tG whether any agent Of the
autonomous government in Cuba had
been accredited to this government and
recognized by it was adopted without
dissent. A feature of the session was
a speech in advocacy of the free coin
age Of standard silver dollars by Mr..
Allen, Of Nebraska. During the re-
mander of the afternoon the senate
was in executive session.
Considerable uneasy excitement was
caused among the members Of the
house yesterday by the rumor broadly
circulated before the house convened
that Important action relative to Cuba
was to be taken. 1t turned out to BE-
simply resolution of inquiry unani-
mously reported by the foreign affairs
committee last week calling on the
state department for information as to
the condition of the concentrates in
Cuba and the progress made in Spain's
effort to induce the Cubans to accept
autonomy. The resolution was adopted
without division. Another resolution
was adopted calling for the correspond
ence relating TO the exclusion Of our
fruits, beef and horses from Germany.

Signs OF Prosperity.

The Cocil Democrat says: If the people
of Cecil county don't believe this is tho
the year Of prosperity let them lock around
them. There Is the Mccullough Iron
Works at North East, once the greatest
tnd0strial enterprise in the county, en-
Eploying large number Of men at romun-
erAtive wages. Now it is silent and de-
sorted, and its employees scattered, seek
Ing such labor as may be obtained. Has
ibis year Of prosperity changed the situa,
tlonp There lie the Providence Paper Mill
now the largest industry in the county,
what has this year Of prosperity done for
i,f Ask the idle workmen who are doing
the best they can to warm and feed their
families during this winter weather. How
is II Just across the line at New Castle,
where many Cecil county people have been
employed? The notice in Wilmington
paper soliciting food and clothing for the
destitute there is the best answer. The
iron mills are shut down, and tue hun
dreds thrown out Of employment are lit
orally starving. No need for kind. hearted
friends to devote their energy to soliciting
aid for the Cubans. We have starving
people ut our very doors. People who are
industrious. honest and intelligent, but
who are victims Of our vicious laws. This
is the prosperity that we have some init
mate knowledge Of, and we can. trace it
directly to its legitimate parent, Protec-
tion.
Il II the Democrat had said the Wilson bill
brought about this ruin. it would have hit
the nail on the head. But misreprcseuta.
! tion suited its purpose better than truth,
and hence the above assertions.

This Is the history OF every strike, and yet
the operatives will not heed the lesson SO

will bring them toa proper sense of the
situation. After consuming their little
