THE TEXAS DANGER.
Ccrvera's Torpedo Boats Attempt to
Destroy Her.


The New York Herald's special cores
pondent. cabling from Mole st. Nicholas,
thus describes an attempt OF Cevera $
torpedo boats TO destroy the battleship
Texas.
The first engagement between Commo-
dore Schley and the Spanish fleet COM
manded by Admiral Cervera took place
last night.
Two topedo boat destroyers about mid
night slipped quietly out Of the harbor
bent on mischief. They crept along In
the shadow OF old Castle MORO and the
mountain for two miles to the westward
before they were discovered by the look
out on the Texan. where the men were
sleeping by the guns so that the battle
ship could be quickly manned.
An instant after the lookout gave the
alarm the white stream Of the Texas
searchlight flashed along the shadow I'M
der the mountain revealing the desperate
game Of the imprisoned Spaniards.
The torpedo boat destroyers when they
saw that they had been discovered dash
ed toward the Texas. which with the
cruiser Brooklyn close beside 1t. was lying
inshore.
The Texas promptly opened fire with
her port forward batteries and her crack
six-pounders. and the hiss Of the armor-
piercing shells thrown in the direction OF
the advancing topedo boat destroyers
startled the entire feet. The Brooklyn
also came into action, firing several
rounds at the Spanish craft, but the bulk
Of the shooting was done by the Texas.
The entire fleet went 10 general quar-
tiers. and soon their searchlights were
playing around the narrow entrance OF
the harbor in the expectation that Ad-
miral Cerveras whole fleet would emerge
from its haven and fight 1t out.
The torpedo boat destroyers made a
plucky dash through the rain Of shells
from battleship and cruiser, but. foiled
In their attempt to surprise the watchful
Schey. turned and ran back into the
harbor.
No attempt was made 10 pursue them.
II is thought that they were not struck.
as they retreated quickly and made small
targets In the uncertain moonlight.
The Spaniards did not discharge any
torpedoes. although within 900 yards Of

SANTIAGO STARVING.
CAPE HAYTlEN, HAHTl. June l.
The condition OF the population or sam
tiago since the beginning OF the block
ade has grown rapidly worse. and It Is
now said to be nearly desperate. Food
Is very scarce and the poor people are
finding 1t almost impossible TO obtain any
because Of the enormous prices. The
expectation IS general that Santiago must
soon fall into the hands Of the Ameri-
cans.
CLAIM SCHLEY WAS REFUSED
MADRID, June .-Mdnight-Official
circles ridicule the American pretension
TO treat the Santiago affair as n simple
reconnaissance. The truth Is, as official
circles see II that the Americans tried TO
force an entry into the bay and were
rcpulsed.
1t IS held equally improbable that the
American squadron destroyed the bat
teries at FL Moro.
