SPANIARDS DODGING.
FLEET SAILS AWAY FROM SAMP-

That sampson or Schley VIII Meet 1t
Before LOng-The Oregon Safe.

Washington, May 14.-Definite off,
cial information reached the authOri-
ties here late this afternoon that the
Spanish squadron has been sighted of
the island of Curacao, one of the
Dutch West Indies, lying off the north
coast of Venezuela. This information
was regarded as of vital importance,
as 1t not only fixed the position of the
enemy, but disclosed the purpose of
the Spanish admiral to elude Admiral
Sampson's fleet and make his way
through the Caribbean, probably to
Cuba. The island of Curacao was orig
inally Spanish, and is peopled mainly
by descendants of Spaniards, though
it is now one of the Dutch possessions.
The Spanish admiraPs course was also
Influenced by the fact that the French
cable, starting from Caracas, Venezue-
la, touches at the island of Curacao,
thence proceeds northward through the
Caribbean to Hayti, with spurs run
ming east and west to Porto Rico and
Cuba respectively. He is thus enabled
to get in touch from Curacao with the
Spanish authorities in Cuba and Porto
Rico, and through them directly with
the Spanish admiralty at Madrid.
No immediate battle with Admiral
Sampson's fleet is expected, and the
Spaniards, as seem likely, have sue
ceeded in passing south of the Ameri-
can fleet and are now well to the
westward of it.
The department doubtless is inform
ed as to the whereabouts of Admiral

BATTLE AT CIENFUEGOS.
Three Cruiser Engage the Forts and Cut
the Cable.

Three Cruisers Engage the Forts and Cut
tho Gable.
Key West, May IA fight has
taken place off Cienfuegos. The Mar
blehead, Nashville and Window were
pitted against the forts. The Window
has just come in with the wounded
Americans. Two men have been killed
and eight wounded. The Spanish loss
is 400.
The action took place off Colorados
Point Light at the entrance of Glen
fuegos Bay on Wednesday. 1t began
with the firing of shells by the Marble
head and Nashville in the early morn
ing.
About 3 o'clock two boats were sent
out from each of these ships with crap
pling irons and other necessary ap-
paratus for cutting the cable. There
was no firing from shore for two hours
while the cruisers and Window kept
up a fire.
The small boats got within about
twenty-five yards of the shore and sue
ceeded in graphing the cable. Before
they let go they had cut out a section
and accomplished their purpose Of
stopping the cables usefulness.
1t was determined some time ago to
cut the Spanish cable out of Cienfue-
gos and thus prevent the movements of
the American ships on that side being
made known to Madrid. The task was
assigned to the three cruisers men
toned, and on Wednesday they drew
in close to shore. They made out
new fortification at the entrance to
Cienfuegos Bay and the Window, un.
der Captain Mcclure, engaged the bat
teries.
At 1000 yards the fort opened fire.
The Window replied with her big for
ward rifle and inside of few minutes
left the Notifications nothing but
mass of ruins.
The Nashville and the Marblehead in
the meantime had sailed in close and
made every effort to draw the fire from
what masked batteries the Spanish
might have, One battery was visible
at the apex of the bay and into this
shot and shell were poured.
Under cover of the cannonade the
Nashville and Marblehead launched
boats, and their crew pulled into where
the cable took off. BY dint of rare
courage they cut the cable and started
back Half way across the bay masked
batteries on either side of the harbor
opened a merciless fusilade, firing Mt
the two boat loads. The boats were
riddled and their occupants were soon
struggling in the water.
The treachery was quickly atoned
for.
From the guns Of the Nashville and
Marblehead belched forth rain of
shot and shell. Every shot went true,
and earthwOrks, guns and Spaniards
were seen flying convulsively in the
air ~ each shell burst. In the mean
time Captain Mcclure lowered his
boats and rescued the wounded. The
bodies Of the two dexd men were also

Reconcentrados Starving,

Key West, Fla, May 15.-The condi-
tions in Havana, resulting from the
blockade, are being generally brought
out by information obtained from fish
ing smacks and other small vessels
captured OF the coast.
Affairs at Havana now appear to be
worse than at any time since the Wey-
Ter regime. The fishermen who at first
braved the blockade for the high price
which fish brought in Havana now run
the risk not for money but for food. A
number of these have been captured by
the vessels of the blockading fleet,
nearly all of them being released after
having been questioned by our officers
They all unite in picturing the state of
affairs at Havana as being pitiful in
the extfeme. The recOnceatradoes they
said are nearly all dead, or have been
expelled from the city to die in the
suburbs.
The insurgents themselves have been
chary of receiving reconcentradoes,
and hundreds of the latter, who had
no personal friends in the insurgent
camps, had been left to starve between
the lines, which they did.

day coaches, thirty men to a car. The
officers will occupy Pullman sleepers
the road agreeing to furnish three. As
the regiment has fourteen horses, it
will require one stock car for them
and about three box cars for the bag
gage and supplies. The regiment will
take with it about $4,000 pounds of
freight, including ten days rations,
that will be served to them after they
reach San Francisco.
The supplies that the men will take
with them will reach this city to-day,
having been ordered from Fort Logan
and Omaha. Before boarding the train
the men will receive four days ra-
tions, enough to last them until they
reach their destination, which will be
some time Friday. if they leave the
city tomorrow. as is the present inten-
ton.

Charleston, s. c., May 15.-The four
vessels of war comprising the major
portion of the flying squadron, under
Commodore Schley arrived of Char
lesion bar, nine miles from Charleston
City, at O'Clock this afternoon, after
having been at sea two days and hav-
ing seen no sign of the Spanish crui-
sers or torpedo boats, said to be in this
locality. Towards morning several
heavy fogbanks were run into and
during one of these intervals the col
lier Sterling became detached.
To wait for her was partly the reason
that anchorage was made here, al

Gated at once with Washington and

lier arrives all the ships will take coal
and then proceed to sea again,

DISPATCH FROM DEWEY.

SETS 1t Rest Several Uncomfortable r.
ports.
Washington, May 15.-The dispatch
es from Hong Kong brought welcome
news to-day from Admiral Dewey to
the President, and particularly to Sec
retary Long and the naval officera
who are watching the admiral's move
ments with much interest. While ne
apprehension existed as to his security
nevertheless reinsurance of safety Is
always pleasant. The kilograms indi
cate that Dewey has lost none of the
prestige gained in his memorable fgli
of two weeks ago, and that while lie
refrains from taking the city of Manila
he has it practically at his mercy. The
admiral expresses the belief that the
rebels are hemming in the city by
land, but the fact that he says explic-
itely that they have made no demon
stration seems to dsprove thoroughly
the published reports that they had al
ready entered Manila and had begun
a career of bloodshed and rapine.
The dispatch as given out by Sec
retary Long is as follows:
Cavite, May 13.-Hong Kong, May 10.

to believe that the rebels are hemming
in the city by land but have made no

London, May 16.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Standard says:
after the Callaos crew landed they
were released on parole, and the Cal
lao was paraded in full view of Ma
nilla, accompanied by the United
States cruiser Concord. When Mr..
Williams, the United States consul,
landed at Cavite last week. he was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm by
crowd of 1000 people, shouting Viva
Los Americanos.'
"Aguinaldo, the former insurgent
leader, is now in Hong Kong, actively
negotiating, l understand, with Presi-
dent Mckinley. l have reason to be-
lieve that he is seeking to arrange for
the future government of the Philip
pines by a native administration, un-
der the prOtectorate of the United
States.
AT present there is deal OF dlsSen-
sion among the rebel factions, some of
which are negotiating with the Ameri-
cans and others with the Spaniards.
Whether Aguinaldo possesses enough
influence to reconcile these differences
and to induce the insurgents to pursue
a common policy is questionable. Ad-
miral Dewey is well advised in waiting
for reinforcements, since the fall of
Manila would produce anarchy
throughout the islands. The English
here advocate an Anglo-American ad-
ministration.
"It is asserted here that Admiral
Dewey has recoaled three British war
ships"

TROOPS MUST WAIT,
Cannot Land Cuban Soil Until = Naval
Battle Is Fought.

Cannot Land on Cuban Soil Until = Naval
Battle Is Fought.
Washington, d. c., May 13.-Direct
morning suspendng for the present
the movement of the invading army
upon Cuba. General Miles has there
fore postponed his departure for the
South and it is announced authorita-
lively by the War Department Off
cials that it cannot be stated with
definiteness when General Miles will
leave.
The suspension Of the movement of
the invading army upon Cuba was
Induced by the proximity of the Span
ish Cape Verde squadron to Cuban
waters. 1t is deemed by the depart
ment to be the part of wisdom not to
risk the landing of troops on Cuban
soil until the landing can be effected
under the protection of a stronger
fleet than is now available for the
purpose of more protection. The fact
that the army movement has been
postponed is in direct evidence that a
decisive naval battle is expected to
occur within few days. 1t is not
doubted that the squadron under the
command Of Admiral Sampson will
seek an engagement with the Spanish
feet at once, and it is with the idea
of awaiting the result of that conflict
that the orders for the movement of
the land forces are held in allegiance
temporarily.

SIMPSONS squadron, but it does not
see fit to give any Information on the
subject, and the same rigid silence
prevails as to the whereabouts and
destination of Commodore Schley's
flying squadron. The game has reach
ed such a critical stage that premature
publication as to the whereabouts of
our ships might cause inestimable loss
and the failure of present plans.
The Spanish vessels are reported by
our consul to be at Curacao for the
purpose Of coaling. Our scouts are out
patroling the waters of the Caribbean
sea, and 1t is expected that Sampson
will meet the feet or that Schley will
head it off near Havana.
