CENSOR'S WORK,
Movements Of United states Troops Are
Kept Secret

Kept Secret
Washington, June lit became
apparent this afternoon that the war
department, through the energetic
offices of the censor, has succeeded en-
tirely in its purpose to keep the move
ment Of troops secret, for beyond
question at the close Of the day it was
impossible to learn the whereabouts Of
the United States troops, which had
for weeks been gathered under COM
mand of General Shafter in Florida.
Stories of a mysterious warship in
Cuban waters floated through the navy
department during the day. The Off
GERS quickly condemned them, declar-
ing that if the boats were Spanish
they were nothing more than some
armed launches and were not to be
feared by any transports conveyed by
such fine gunboats as the Helena and
Bancroft. But when these stories
reached the war department they We're
received in different spirit Nothing
is: more helpless In warfare than al un.
armored troopship full OF soldiers. She
would fall an easy victim to the small
est gunboat, and the soldiers, knowing
their weakness in this respect, are loath
to unberdtake to cross the Florida
straits until these disagreeable visitors
have been removed from the pathway.
Without respect to the character OF
the strange craft that are said to be
lodging the blockaders at Havana, they
will be removed from the scene OF ac-
ton on short notice, as it is expected
that Sampson has been made acquaint-
ed with the situation, and is expected
to redeem his promise to provide safe
conduct for the army when called upon.
Heshas ample force to conduct the OPP
erations at Santiago to successful
issue and still spare vessels OF any
mower desirable for use in the Florida
straits.

CHASED FOUR WARSHlPS.
American GunbOat Reports Singular
Fscapade on Havana.

Key West, June ll.-Four suspi
cious looking vessles, thought to be
Spanish warships, are or have been at
tempting to elude the blockading
squadron Off Havana and enter the
polt. When last seen on the night
before last, they were in Nicholas
channel, about so miles off Havana,
and heading in the direction Of Hav-
ana. A government tug from Cardenas
joined the feet yesterday bringing mes
sages for the commodore from an auxil-
larry gunboat. This was to the effect
that on Tuesday night the gunhoat
sighted four vessels thought to be a
batte-ship, two cruisers and a dis
patch boat, between Salt Cay and
Piedre del Cruz light.
The gunboat followed them and
when within speaking distance hoisted
the private signal. The strangers re-
piled with three masthead lights,
which was not the required signal, and
Immediately thereafter they put out
their lights. The gunboat cruised
after the strangers for two or three
miles, once approaching within 1000
yards, but eventually abandoned the
chase and reported to the nearest ship
OF the fleet. Advices were then sent
to Commodore Watson by the govern
ment tug and he dispatched ship to
Key West.
The commander of the gunboat
which followed the vessels is satisfied
that they were Spanish warships either
trying to get into Havana or lying in
wait for transports The affair, how
ever, is involved in doubt.
The British cruiser Talbot left Hav-
ana on Tuesday, and she may have
been one of the vessels sighted by the
gunbOat.

With Admiral SIMPSONS arrival,
Wednesday, the blockade was much
strengthened, and the plans to starve
the fleet we're pushed vigorously. Just
how long Santiago can stand beseiging
is a matter of conjecture. The coun-

are so close that there is little or no

oughly believed that only short time
will be needed to bring Santiago to a
starvation basis. Naturally the fleet
has a supply, perhaps for two months,
but the Spanish soldiers cannot be sus-
tanned on this. An important fact was
learned today from the insurgents on
shore, with whom communication has
been opened up There are not co.
600 soldiers, as has been stated, in

on Santiago, via Kingston, Jamaica,
June 1.-THE firing by the New York
'And New Orleans briefly reported last
night, was directed against the Spanish
torpedo-boat destroyer, probably the
Furor or Pluton.
The character of the vessel WAS not
definitely known until the next day,
when the torpedo-boat Porter found
two loaded torpedoes floating off shore.
Neither OF them had been discharged.
One sank, but the other was hauled on
board the Porter. 1t exactly fitted the
description of the torpedoes carried by
the Pluton and Juror.
1t is believed the torpedo-boat de-
stroyer escaped. She was seen by the
New Orleans when too far away for the
latter to do any damage, and the heavy
hre must have driven her back.
The daring attempt of the Spaniarts,
which was fortunately frustrated by
the vigilance of the New Orleans
lookout, is the first instance of its kind
since the beginning of the war AS
seen from the flagship, the scene was
brilliantly dramatic. The New York
was lying several miles to the east of
Moro Castle. The New Orleans was
on her starboard hand, close nshore,
ready to pounce upon any craft which
attempted to steam out under tie
shadow Of the hills. Shortly after 10
O'Clock the New Orleans flashed her
private signal, and in n few minutes
colored lights sprang up in the dark
ness from the New Orleans deck.
They signalled that the enemy was in
sight.
On board the flagship men and off,
GERS had scrambled out of hunks and
hammocks in response to the call gen
eral quarters. They stood on deck
around the guns watching the short,
sharp flames which showed the activity
of the New Orleans rapid-tire bat
terry The flagship was then too far
away to see the object OF the fire.
a dim object like a small boat con
cealed in smoke was seen on the port
hand from the signal bridge, and En-
sign Murlin reported to Captain Chad
wick "a toIpcdo-boat one point for
ward on the port beam headed this
way" Captain Chadwick and Rear
Admiral Sampson, was on the forward
bridge. Before shot was fired from
the flagship, this curious looking Oh
ject disappeared. 1t must have been
two or three miles away from the New
York and the same distance from tire
New Orleans. When mile away and
close to Moro, an object was seen
against the cliffs. 1t was thought tc
be a torpedo-boat, and the New York s
forward s-inch guns beloved out,
making a hideous noise in the quiet
night, lighting the air with bright
smoke. On shore few sparks Gloss
to dark object showed where the
shells struck. The four-inch and six
Founders followed suit, and for few
minutes sharp fire was kept up. The
boom of the Oregon's big guns was
twice heard to the Eastward.
Cease firing" was then sounded.
After a careful watch, the New York
steamed back to her station and the
men went back TO their hammocks.
There had been no firing from the forts
