MADRID, June 1G.-Duke Almodovar

BumOr That Our Fleet May Cross the
Atlantic Causes Alarm In Cadiz.
CADIz, via Gibraltar, June 16-There
is great excitement here owing TO fears
of the American fleet coming to Spain.
1t has been decided to send further
re-enforcements to the Balearic islands,
the Canaries and Ceuta.
The reserve squadron, consisting of
two ironclads. one torpedo boat, one
cruiser and two torpedo boat destroy
ers, sailed at dawn yesterday, but re-
turned in the evening. These mysteri-
GUS movements are doubtless intended
to mislead and any alleged sailing of
the fleet should be received with the
greatest caution.
The auxiliary cruiser Ciudad de Cadiz
has left here under sealed orders.
From hints gathered in official circles
it is believed the squadron will sail
singly or in pairs under sealed orders
to meet at a given point. probably on
the high seas. Some say the rendezvous
is the Saragossa sea, off the Azores,
where the vessels will be outside the
usual track Of shipping and able to wait
quietly for their consorts in order to
sail together.
Captain Aunon has expressed great
annoyance at the continued delays He
declares his intention of reforming the
present system at the arsenals and of
abolishing the red tape methods hith-
erto so prevalent. The minister favors
such drastic changes that it is uncer-
tain whether the squadron is remodeled
yet to his satisfaction

nition as an attack was expected on
the return march, but none was made.
Evidently the Spaniards were too thor
oughly beaten to attempt further fight
ing. The marines did not reach the
American camp until after nightfall.
and, as they had been without food
since the early morning, they were
thoroughly exhausted.
Colonel Huntington believes the de-

WILLIAM AND THE PHILIPPINES.
Government Takes No Stock In stories OF
German Interference.


WASHINGTON, June 16.-The con-
slant reports that Germany is on the
eve Of making a serious issue in the
Philippines are unaccountable to Off
cials here who have the most direct
and positive information that Germany
has never contemplated such a step and
is not now moving toward its execu-
tion either alone or with other powers.
This direct information overcomes many
circumstantial reports coming from Eu-
rope, some asserting that Germany is
exchanging secret notes with other pow
ers, others that Admiral Prince Henry
and Admiral Diederich are about to
intervene at Manila, others that the
German embassy here has made a pro-
test to the state department and others
that Emperor William himself is taking
a personal interest in resenting the
American occupation of the Philippines.
There is the highest authority for say
ing that each one of these reports is
groundless, and they are all attributed
to a malicious purpose to embitter the
feeling between Germany and the Unit
ed States. In the main these reports
have originated outside of Germany,
although one army and navy newspaper
in Germany took them up and urged
the advantage of an active German poll
icy in the Philippines. 1t is said by per-
sons familiar with the facts that this
journal is without official recognition
and in no way reflects the attitude of
the German government. . 1t is more
the organ OF the navy and as such
shares the usual sentiment among naval
classes for an aggressive use9 of the
navy. But this policy It is said. has
never recommended itelf to the German
government in the present war.

the second expedition from San Fran

Der Of officers and men in the expedition

Dewey a supporting force OF over 5000
well armed, well equipped and well sea-
soned soldiers. It is expected that the
expedition which sailed yesterday viii
arrive at Manila about the 4th of July.
If it should arrive on time it is not un-
likely that there will be an Independ-
ence day celebration Of great signif-
canoe in the far east. General Merritt's

Terrible Havoc Wrought by Her Pneu-

Terrlble Havoc Wrought by Her Pneu-

MOLE ST. NICHOLAS. Haiti. June
16-Three shells, each containing POO
pounds of gun cotton, were fired Tues
day night from the pneumatic guns Of
the Vesuvius at the hill at the western
entrance TO Santiago harbor. on which
there is a fort.
1t was the first test Of a dynamite
cruiser in actual warfare. The frightful
execution done by those three shots will
be historic.
Guns In that fort had not been silenc-
ed when the fleet drew off after the at
tack that followed the discovery OF the
presence Of the Spanish fleet in the har-
hor
In the intense darkness Of Tuesday
night the Vesuvius steamed in to close
range and let go one of her mysterious
missiles. There was no flash. no smoke.
There was no noise at first The pneu-
matte guns on the little cruiser did their
work silently II was only when they
felt the shock that the men on the other
warships knew that the Vesuvius was
in action.
