sailed last night from Key West for
Santiago de Cuba to besege ndcapture
that town. The army Transports thirty
in number left Port Tampa Saturday
and went as far as Key West. The con-

any Spanish warships, even If such
should have escaped the vigilant search
of the naval commanders at Key West

the sally out of Havana of the three
Spanish gunboats was intended TO create
the impression that they were prepared
