oByEor OF sANr1AGo EXPEDITION.
Not to be Made Base of Operations
 Against Havana.


 Washington, June 15.-Some of the many congressional visitors at the war department have been compelled to question the officials as to the exact purpose of the military expedition to Santiago. From the strength of the ex- petition and certain comments that have been made by military officers the idea had gotten abroad that Santiago was to be made the base of operations against Havana. It was learned, how ever, that the departments plans do not contemplate this. The sole pur- pose of landing the troops at Santiago and capturing the town is to destroy or capture the Spanish fleet. It is stated that as soon as Santiago is re- duced and the Spanish fleet effectually disposed of the United States troops will be dispatched to some other point of operations, either Porto Rico or Ha- vana, leaving the insurgents in occupa tion of Santiago.

 Off Santiago de Cuba, Tuesday, June IA, p. m., by the Associated Press dis patch boat Wanda, via Kingston, Ja- maica, June 15, D. m.-The United States cruiser New Orleans, having been ordered by Rear Admiral Samp- son to destroy the new emplacements half a mile east of Fl Moro, on which a large number of Spaniards had been working, took up a position at o'clock this morning about 800 yards from shore and 2,000 yards from the Moro battery She opened upon the em- placements with her rapid-fire guns. Red clouds of sand rose on the hilltop where the emplacements were building. Following the fifteenth shot the Moro batteries replied with one shell that fell near the stern of the flagship New York. After twenty minutes gun prac- tice Admiral Sampson signalled the New Orleans to cease firing. Then as she retired the Morro batteries sent ten shells after her, but without damage. Admiral Sampson hoisted the signal Firing well done" the first compli- ment of the kind from the admiral
 The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius join- ed the fleet yesterday and was put to work immediately. Ensign Palmer of the New York went on board the Ve- suvius, with Lieutenant Commander Pilsbury, to explain the location of the batteries A few minutes after mid night the vesuvius was about half a miles from the beach west of Fl Morro. The Oregon's searchlight played on the battery, while the black nose of tho cruiser pointed at the westward batteries. Lieutenant Commander Pillsburv gave the word to fire and Lieutenant Quimby opened the air. vent. There was a slight hissing, a sort of coughing noise, but no flame, no report, no warning to the Spaniards who were hiding in the darkness. Thir- ty seconds later dull roar broke the silence of the tropical night. Two hum dred pounds of gun cotton had eX- ploded on the hillside below the bat tery.
 The ships on the blockade lines, two miles away, shook with the explosion The firing of 13-inch shell is q mere rifle crack compared with the deep and mighty roar. Clouds of earth thrown up from the hills seemed to stand out against the black sky Anoth- CT package of gun cotton was dropped on the other side of the battery and may possibly have struck the torpedo boats anchored below. Before the echoes of the second shot died away the Vesuvius sent a third charge hiss ing out. It fell right on the brow of the hill where the battery seemed to lie, into the air flew tons of earth and smoke covered the land for half a mile. 1 The Vesuvius retired at q sixteen knot rate. Two flashes shot from the hill and two Spanish shells flew beyond the cruiser. The test was regarded as highly satisfactory and there is intense interest over this vessel
