Madrid, June 6.-There is great re-
joicing here over the sinking of the
Merrimac at Santiago, the officials
having posted a bulletin to the effect
that the vessel was a warship and was
sunk in battle by the Spaniards.
The effect this announcement has
had upon the populace is greatly wor
rying the ofieiels, who now realize that
VIOSZ, reaction will be a result
when the truth is known.
Lieutenant General Correa, minister
of war, has become thoroughly alarmed
and is trying to square matters by
urging the country not to excite I'M
duly, as the war may yet bring forth
bitter disappointment.
Dispatches from Havana described
wild enthusiasm there on the reception
of the news from Santiago. At the
principal theater the play was stopped
and the telegram read to the audience,
after which the streets were filled with
patriotic crowds, who kept up the re-
joicing the greater part of the night.
1t is well understood that there will
be terrible reckoning when the BOOM
erang returns, and 1t is believed Senior
Castelar, and his followers are only
awaiting that movement to step in and
take formal possession of the reins of
government.

Rear Admiral Sampson called for vol

man in the squadron responded. Lieu
tenant Hobson and seven men were

lieutenant who exploded a torpedo ar
ranged for the purpose. Admiral Ger
vera has offered to exchange the
prisoners. No one was killed or SER

vessel that has arrived here from San

torpedo boat destroyer Terror. The as
sumption, based upon dispatches from
Madrid, has been that the destroyer
Terror. after leaving Fort de France,
went to Porto Rico waters and 1t Is
probable that the Santiago advices
confuse her with her sister de-
stroyer the Furor, as has several times
been the case In dispatches from other
points.

Kingston. Jamaica, June 6.-Rear
Admiral Sampson during Friday morn
Ing decided to close the narrow har-
Dor entrance Of Santiago de Cuba by
sinking the collier Merrimac, loaded
with coal, in the channel
He called for volunteers to 60 to al
most certain death and 1000 men Of
fered themselves.
Lieutenant Hobson and six men were
chosen and at a. m. Friday the Mer-
rimac, under her own steam, entered
the channel under a terrible Spanish
fire.
The vessel was riddled with projec-
tiles, but she anchored and swung
around.
Lieutenant Hobson then set off an
internal torpedo with an electric at
tachment and there was an explosion.
The Merrimac sank, the channel was
closed and apparently Admiral Ger
vera will be unable to escape.
Madrid, June 6.-Great pressure Is
being put upon the government by the
press to send to Manila either Ad-
miral Cervera's squadron or the re-
serve feet at Cadiz.
Eight thousand men and six bat
teries could be embarked within "a
hours at ports In the south of Spain.
But the government hesitates to send
an expedition so late, when American
achievements from California are
likely to forestall any Spanish relief
The government expects that events
In and about Cuba will soon give a
decisive turn to the course of the war.
1t looks for either landing and de-
feat of Re AmAsSsiee"s or a signal re-
verse to the Spanish troops or Admiral
Cervera's squadron.
Washington, June 6. - Substantial

men who took the Merrimac in, accord

this in the shape of advance in num-

money.

What Would Happen N Corvera should
Show Fight.
Key West, May 31.-Speculation
now is over whether SPANS four
cruiEers and two torpedo boat destroy
ers shall be allowed to remain bottled
up In Santiago harbor or whether the
forts shall be reduced and the vessels
compelled to come out and fight.
In the latter case there can be but
one result, for Commodore Schiey has
some Of the finest ships in the world
to say nothing Of cruisers and various
smaller vessels, and could in a few
days be reinforced by other powerful
warships. 1t would be fOolhardiness
on the part Of Cervera to offer battle.
1t is now known that when the
Spanish admiral sailed for the West
Indies he expected to enter San Juan
de Porto Rico for coal and supplies.
On touching at Curacao for news
his plans were upset by the receipt Of
dispatches telling him that Rear Ad-
miral Sampson had bombarded the
San Juan Notifications and was still
in the neighborhood Of Porto Rico.
Thereupon Cervera sailed for the
south coast Of Cuba. Why he entered
the Santiago harbor instead of the
harbor Of Cienfuegos is not known,
but the American commanders were
inclined to think the Spaniards would
go to the latter port.
Key West, May 31.-Cervera is with
out coal and is not liable to get any.
II the bunkers of his ships are ever
again filled 1t will be at the direction
OF an American commander.
The British steamer Restormel,
owned by J. Cory & Sons Of Cardiff,
Wales, with an enormous supply of
coal for the Spanish squadron, was
captured last Wednesday by the aux
iliary cruiser st. Paul, Captain Sigs-
bee, while trying to get into Santiago
harbor.
She sailed from 4 Cardiff under a
Spanish charter, although she still
carries the British flag. She went to
San Juan, where she cleared for, but
there she received orders from Spain
to proceed to Curacao. When she ar
rived there she was ordered to San
tiago.
The collier was captured four miles
of Moro castle and 1t required a solid
shot to bring her to, the blank put
across her bow being ignored. She
was brought here in charge of a prize
crew. Her captain has told the whole
story frankly.
The prize commissioners have
libeled the ship and her cargo, and
they will go before the courts in the
same form as the other prize cases.
