the request of the war department cor

CRUISER NEW YORK.

New York steamed up the west coast.
Following the flagship for quite dis
tance came the Iowa, Indiana. Helena
and torpedo boats Porter and Ericsson.
But after Havana was passed, where the
Helena went in 80 close that the crash
of a gun from Moro was momentarily
expected, the ships, with the exception
of the torpedo-b boats, soon returned to
their station. Under a full head OF
steam the flagship bowled along until
Mariel was reached. 1t was easy from
aboard the dispatch boat without
glasses to see the commotion raised by
the presence of the warships in the
pretty little village.
People In a Panic.
The people rushed wildly about and
small boats quickly put in shore. But
there was no apparent life in either Of
the forts on two hills that cover the
approaches to the harbor. The Porter
steamed within half a mile of them and
the New York swung leisurely at an
Choir at a mile range. After Admiral
Sampson had surveyed Mariel to his
apparent satisfaction he sent the flag
ship clipping merrily further UP the
coast. Again the flagship rode uncon-
cernedly half mile from the forts. The
Porter and the Ericsson pushed their
way ahead. Suddenly there was roar
Of a heavy gun, a pun of smoke from
the shore and the little torpedo-boat
came scurrying back under the lee OF
the flagship. The officers and men dis

shot from the flagship, one more from
shore and the fort guns were silenced.
Three six-inch shells had sufficed. Five
more shots put quietus on the forti-
fications. The first shot was fired at
6:20. At 6:35 the New York let go her
two six-inch shells, one at each fortifi-
/ cation, to complete the job. There was
no answer from the shore. Ten minutes
later the flagship let go two of her

a report of an interview had by its cor
respondent in Madrid with Senor Sill

ative party, in which that statesman
says:

sPANIARDs FAILED TO GET HER.
Steamer Paris Arrives safe at New York
City.


New York, May 1.-The steamer
Paris has arrived here safely. The Paris
left Liverpool last Saturday, with
large quantity of guns and ammuni-
ton for the government. and has forty
passengers. Immediately after her de-
parture and before she passed the Liz
ard reports were circulated from vari-
Gus British points that the Paris had
been captured by a Spanish warship
and was being taken to Cadiz. Those
who knew the speed of the former
liner and her captain smiled at these
stories and were not at all alarmed.
They said: "Wait few days, and you
will find that If a Spaniard got after
the Paris, the only thing the Spaniard
got sight of was the Paris heels"
When the Paris passed Lizard, she
showed her usual signals, and then put
out all her lights. and disappeared in
the darkness of the ocean. This die
not put an end to the stories. London
and other cities in England reported
that the swift ship had been overtaken.
But the former owners continued to
smile and insisted that she would reach
this side of the Atlantic within few
hours of her regular time.

Key West, May 2.-Discoveries made
on the captured steamship Panama
make it improbable that it will ever be
returned TO Spain, whatever decision
may be made as to the Buena Ventura
and other prizes taken. The search of
the Panama's cargo discovered 200 new
Mauser rifles and large consignment
of swords and bayonets, besides a
quantity OF fixed ammunition for the
Panama's four 14-pound guns. 1t Is
believed that a further search will re-
veal many more weapons. and possibly
more ammunition.

Difficult Task to Perform.
II the reports which are current here
are correct the United States fleet has
a difficult task to accomplish. 1t is
said that the entrance to Manila bay
is commanded by from fifty to sixty
heavy guns, well placed. and, 1t is add
ed, it will be impossible for the Ameri-
can warships to enter the bay without
battleships or without the cooperation
of a strong land force. Therefore, IL
IS believed Admiral Dewey will not sss-
tempt to force an entrance into the
harbor, but will blockade the port until
the insurgents move on Manila. Agents
Of the insurgents here are trying to
charter a steamer in expectation of be-
ing able to transport a force Of in
