DESPERATE STRAITS OF REPUB-

This Is the manner in which the
American, a national Journal printed
weekly in Philadelphia, sizes up the
desperate efforts OF the Republicans 10
save control Of the next Congress:
"The efforts Of Congressman Hepbron
and others to make the question of terri
torial expansion prominent and make it
appear that Democratic victory would
hinder our peace commissioners in
carrying their work to a successful
conclusion, pnly go to show a gen
eral uneasiness ON the part of Repub-
licans as to the outcome OF the CAM
paign and evidence their belief that the
policy OF expansion is popular The
chariness Of Democrats to take up this
gauntlet thrown down by Republicans
also goes to show that they too be-
lieve the policy OF expansion meets
with popular approval. Not wishing
to buck their heads into the stone
wall Of defeat they avoid the issue
This year Republican mismanagement
OF national affains, especially OF the
War Department, and fragrant corrup-
tion in state affairs has given the
Democrats a splendid basis from which
TO conduct a campaign OF fault find
ing. for there is much with which
fault may justly be found. SO it is
that Republicans have been put upon
the defensive, put to defending that
which has no defence, defending or
rather denying mismanagement and

the defence. So the effort to bring the

The General transatlantic line steamer

we're French. the others being Spaniards
and C,ibans. Most Of them were oouno
for Europe. Among the number was
, Senior Amblard, member or the span
ish Senate and chief of the Progressive
party. -,,.s ,.
The LAFAYETTE. IT will be recalled, was
the steamer that was captured py an
American warship and taken 10 hey
West. She was subsequently reieascu
by order Of the American Government
ana proceeded 10 Havana. 1t is now
,,nou,n that when she sailed from Ha-
vana for Vera Cruz she had secreted
aboard three Spanish officers. who re-
NAMED concealed from the other pas

meals being taken TO them in a private

Amblard and his friends talked good
deal on the Lafayette. They said the
Spanish fleet was not 20 accept battle
with the Americans. but was 10 avoid
them and endeavor 10 make monkeys
Of them. keeping them guessing as to
its whereabouts.
This was done according 20 Senior
Amblard. with the idea of protracting
the war for ten or twelve months in the
belief that Europe would be forced to
intervene or that before then general
hostilitles would break out among the
Powers.
Senior Amblard and his friends admitted
among themselves that one Of Spain
greatest difficulties was I'm getting engi-
neers for warships as all the good
ones were foreigners and they were quit
ting the service at every opportunity.
The Spanish are planning. in case the
Americans make a land attack on Hav-

cations now at Havana are the Santa
Clara and Vedado batteries The latter

of the Santa Clara. and new and heavy
guns have just been installed.

THAT FIGHT AT CARDENAS,
We Did More Damage Than We Knew
Two GunbOats Destroyed.

KEY WEST, FLA. May p. - Ernest
Castro, n cuban refugee who was In Car
denas on the day that the Winslow was
injured I'm trying 10 capture Spanish
gunboat. arrived in Key West this morn
ing. having been picked up off Cardenas
yesterday. His story Of the affair eX-
plains fully the trap which the Spanish
set for the torpedo boat.
IL will be remembered that the motive
for the attack was a desire 10 capture
three little gunboats which had been try
ing for several days 10 lure the American
ships into the mined channels OF Carde-
mas harbor by rushing out and then
steamlng back as soon as they had dTawi
the fire Of our ships. on the morning
of the fight the wilmington. Hudson and
Winslow went into the inner harbor and
there saw one Of the gunboats mOored
against the wharf surrounded by lot
of shipping. The other two gunDoats
were not IN sight.
The Winslow was ordered in 10 cut
out this boat, and as soon as she came
within range Of a wooded point jutting
out to the left Of the shipping, shells
began haling about The Americans
have thought that this fire came from a
battery masked in the trees on this point
but Castro says not.
According TO his statement the other
two gunboats were on the other side Of
the point with their guns trained through
the trees. which concealed them from
the sight Of the approaching Americans
These two boats. he says. were destroyed
by the Wilmington's fire. Most of their
crews were killed or wounded.
One of the difficulties the Americans
had to contend with in silencing the
enemy's fire was that no smoke was
visible from the guns. II was thought
that the reason for this was that they
we're using smokeless powder but 10 Is
more than probable that It was due 10
the fact that the gunboats lay beyond the
stretch of trees in which the Americans
thought the batteries were situated
Castro says that the port Of Cardenas
along the water is almost totally wreck
ed. All the wharves were burned. and
the Spanish Casino, a large building used
as the headquarters OF the infantry, was
also destroyed The troops and citizens
all fed 1.om the town. The railroads
were running special trains into the In
terror. Thirteen soldiers were killed by
one shell as they fed along the street.
The supposition was that the Americans
were attempting a landing, and after the
ships ceased firing the soldiers returned
TO stand them on.
Castro also said that provisions are so
scarce IN Cardenas that the people fight
for food and that there Is great suffering
among the poor.
