Three Sailing Vessels Carrying Spanish
Troops Are Reported Lost.

TACOMA. Wash, August S0.-The Hong
Kong Daily Press is authority for the
statement that 900 Spanish. including 16
priests, lost their lives several weeks ago
when the Spanish gunboat Leyte was
captured by a vessel belonging to Admiral
Dewey's squadron.
Tht Leyte has been stationed in an
adjoining island, where the insurgents
were numerous and aggressive. The lat
ter were gaining ground rapidly causing
80 Spanish to board three sailing vessels
in an endeavor to escape from the ma
tives who would massacre them.
The gunboat Leyte undertook to tow
these three transports to Manila bay,
where the Spaniards aboard them were
to surrender to Admiral Dewey If they did
not succeed in landing somewhere and
reaching Manila under cover of darkness.

General Weyler's statement was made
TO the committee OF Weylertes who had
called upon him this morning at Palma

ler's declaration to the delegation at the
Weyler Club is as follows::
The general intends to advocate the
sweeping policy of rehabilitation OF the
government. He will refuse to aid in any
temporary medSuTts anu Will propose
military Dictatorship for the organiza-
tton Of the army and navy. Their honor,
he remarked, had been lost, as well as
the Antilles, owing solely to military de-
ticiencies. General Weyler expressed the
belief that the present cabinet will be
succeeded by military dictatorship or
by the Silvela ministry, He added that
he did not desire change in the form OF
government, but he pointed out that the
Carlists have excellent organization.
Continuing, the former captain-general
OF Cuba urged Spain to abandon her at

19.-Over 80 Puerto Rican refugees,

He also says the other forts were not
much hurt. In the town one shot, it is
alleged, penetrated the palace, and the
corner of powder house was carried
away. No school children were killed.
The Spanish transport, Alfonso Kill,
and the Spanish freight steamer, Man

fire. The Spaniards, as usual, claim
they won victory, basing this asser-
ton upon the fact that the American
warships departed under fire. But, the
refugees say, the city of San Juan is
still terrorized, it's inhabitants being in

LOSSES AT CIENFUEGOS.
Three Hundred Spaniards Reported
to Have Been Killed and Many
More Wounded.

Key West, Fla, May 20.-The Spanish
loss during the recent engagement at
Cienfuegos is now known to have been
much heavier than at first reported.
Three hundred Spaniards were killed
and several hundred wounded. Great
damage was done along the coast. Soon
after the engagement the United States
cruiser Marblehead picked up several
Cubans in an open boat, some miles
down the coast, including Col. Oriz,
Lieut.. Olvarez and three privates, from
an insurgent camp near Cienfuegos.
They reported that the Spanish losses
and the damage wrought by the shells
from the warship were very heavy. The
hospitals at Cienfuegos, they said, were
full of wounded; and fear prevailed
everywhere that the American war
ships would return to complete the
work of destruction.
During the engagement the Marble
head threw $50 five-inch shells into the
Spanish forces, and 700 shots from her
second battery, and the gunboat Nash

shots from her secondary battery.

that the most terrible destruction was
