Sentry Fired Upon by supposed spaniards
ard slightly Wounded.
Key West. May 2S.--A sc. g@ant of ar
tillery on duty at a mortar battery near
Fort Taylor, was fired upon early In the
morning by three unknown men, whom
he says he knows to be Spaniards. The
fire was promptly returned but the men
ESCAPED. The affair which is involved
in a good deal Of mystery, began in
the afternoon when three swarthy men
made an attempt to enter the gate or
the reservation, but were summary
turned off by the sentry. No further
attention was given TO the incident un-
til at night, when between 10 and IL
o'clock the sergeant of the artillery
puard near the mortar battery, dis
cerned the figures of three men few
wards ahead of him Almost simultan-
eouslv with the discovery they opened
fire upon him with pistols. Three bull
lets whizzed harmlessly past the SER
geant. but fourth lodged in the heshy
part of his left arm. just above the ell
how The three men then turned and
eed out of range. The sergeant sent
several shots after them and then went
for the guard
A sharp lookout was kept for the
strangers and soon after midnight a
suspicious noise was heard outside the

CONGRESS MAY QUIT SOON.
Talk OF Adjournment on June 10 Is Nov
Heard.

Washington May 2S-Talk OF ad-
iournment is very pronounced around
the house and senate. Democrats and
Republicans in the house are anxious
70 get home to look after their fences
and as Speaker Reed is opposed 10 any
further general legislation at this ses-
zion there is nothing for the house 10
do. so the members are prepared to ad-
iourn as soon as the war revenue Dill
is out of the way.
Senator Gray of Delaware SAID that
congress can easily get away by June
IS. The impression prevails among ,ne
democrats and Republicans that there
will be nothing further for congress 10
do in the way of war legislation ana
that being the case no good can be ac-
complished by unnecessarily prolonglhg
the session. Should Spain negotiate
Cor neaee after the adjournment the
senate could be called in extra session
70 deal with that proposition.

NOTHING OFFICIAL FROM sCHLEY.
He Is Still Guarding the Harbor at santi-

He Is Still Guarding the Harbor at santi-
ago de Cuba. sz&i
Washington, May 2S.-Secretary Long
denies he has received official notice
that Admiral Cervera's squadron is in
Santiago de Cuba harbor. But he
doesn't doubt that such is the case.
Commodore Schley is guarding the har-
Dor entrance. lie has under his COM
mand these armorclads: Armored
cruiser Brooklyn, flagship; first-class
battleship Iowa; frst-class battleship
Massachusetts; second-class battleshlp
Texas. Besides these ships he has at
tached to his squadron the auxiliary
cruiser st. Paul, the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Scorpion, and some other cruls-
ers and auxiliary ships, bringing his to-
tai force up to ten or twelve effective
vessels.
The basis for the fear that Cervera
had left Santiago de Cuba before
Schley's arrival there was Madrid re-
port that the Spanish fleet took on coal
Tuesday of last week, preparatory to
departing, while on Wednesday Schley's S
squadron was at Cienfuegos, over 200
miles west of Santiago de Cuba. Schley
could hardly have reached the latter port
before Thursday night, so that Ger
vera had amply sufficient time to coal
and leave Santiago de Cuba without
hindrance from either of the American
souadrons. That he did not quit his
harbor-if time proves that he did not
proves either that he feared battle III
the open; that his ships, or some oi
them, are disabled or that he is ex-
pecting aid from Spain.

pieces and singing with mighty Voiui'e

The fact that even then American
varships were cleared for action and
troops were fastening to the seacoast
added a zest and an inspiration TO the
day and hour. The veterans were
cheered and recheered. America" was
sung as perhaps never before. Inc

1t is believed that orders were sent

New York May 2S.-A Key West ca
blegram to The Evening World says:
The belief is growing here that Admiral
Cerveras fleet is not at Santiago. and
that he did rot stay there longer than
Saturday last. The appearance OF
Spanish scout right off Key West, naval
officers believe, lends strength to the
idea that the Spanish fleet is free. The
belief here is that he is preparing to
descend on the Atlantic coast One OF
the American fleets is watching for
such moo Cervera might be able to
reach Porto Rico, but cannot reach
Cuban ports because of the blockade.
One Fleet Keeping Watch.
For this reason one of our fleets keeps
within easy distance of points Ger
vera would have to pass to attack the
Atlantic coast. Naval experts do not
believe Cevera will be heard from at
San Juan, and the impression is grow
ing that the Spanish admiral is prepar-
ing to spring a surprise on us, as he
cannot reach another Cuban Eort, owing
to strick blockade.
A cablegram to The Mail and Ex-
press from Key West says the CORE
spondent learns from high authority
that Cervera is no longer at Santiago
| but left with his fleet Saturday Two
morning newspapers have similar ad
vices.
