TORPEDO-BOAT TERROR
 ARRIVES AT SAN JUAN.
Succeeds in Dodging the American Warships Awaiting to Inter
 cent If

PORT AU PRINCE, Hayti, May 29.- The Spanish torpedo gunboat Terror, according to a dispatch received here, has arrived safely at San Juan de Por- to Rico, having escaped the American warships which have been on the look out for her since she left Fort de France, Island of Martinique, where her boiler tubes were repaired.
 The foregoing dispatch confirms cable messages on the subject received from Madrid last night announcing the ar rival of the Terror at San Juan de Por- to Rico.
 ST. THOMAS, Danish West Indies, May 29.-The report that the Spanish torpedo gunboat Terror has reached San Juan de Porto Rico is confirmed. She arrived there from Fort de France, Island of Martinique, on Friday morn ing. Her boilers are still said to be out of order
 The Spanish transport Alfonso XIII, chartered by the Spanish Government with provisions for Cuba, is now said Porto Rican coast, her crew having re- fused to try to run the Cuban block ade. The Alfonso XIII is also said to be carrying freight between the differ ent ports of Porto Rico.
 It is rumored here also that the ves- sels of Admiral Cervera's fleet are not at Santiago de Cuba. Some of them either did not go there or have left those waters, according to report
 Incendiarism Is growing in Porto Rico.

REGIMENTS MUST FILL
 TO THE MAXIMUM.
No New Ones to Be Formed Until Those Already Organized Have
 Full Complements.

WASHINGTON, May 29.-About twenty Goverl- - of States and Ter ritories have replied to Secretary AL gers telegrams asking for their views regarding the filling of the present vol unteer regiments to their maximum before beginning the formation of new organizations. Some of these indicate preference for the recruiting of en- t1rely new regiments, as under the first call, leaving the present organizations with the number of men now contained in them, though practically all promise the Government any amount of troops that are wanted. It is the President s desire, however. that the organizations already formed shall be filled to their strength as the law provides, and this policy will be carried out in recruiting under the second call.
 The apportionment to the States has been made up but not yet given to the public. Through urgent representa- tionS to Secretary Alger some of the States were permitted under the first call to furnish a greater number of troops than they were legally entitled to on the basis of population. Conse- quently, in raising the 75,000 men under the second call. these inequalities will be remedied as far as practicable, with the result that some of the States may not be called on to furnish any of the men needed. This course, probably, may give rise to discontent in States where men are to serve, but 1t Is regarded as The only fair way to proceed.

AW ATS WORD
 FROM SCHLEY War Department Plans
 As to Cuba. PREPARING FOR INVASION ARMY RAPIDLY BEING GOT IN
 READINESS. Will Move as Soon as It Is Definitely Known That Cervera Is Cooped
 Up in Santiago
 Harbor.
ARMY RAPIDLY BEING GOT IN
 READINESS.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, May 29.-The Herald S Washington correspondent telegraphs: Much work has yet to be done before American troops can be landed in Cuba. The authorities are, however, doing all in their power to have the entire in vading army ready to move to the point of embarkation as soon as Com nodore Schley definitely reports that he has Cervera's fleet cooped up at Santiago. Secretary Alger positively stated to me that no troops would leave the United States for Cuba until such report had been received.
 The Government has now chartered all boats for the purpose that will be necessary. Assistant Secretary Meikle- john so assured me yesterday. The process of transporting the army from its present position to Cuba will occupy -at least three days.
 Admiral Sampson will command the conveys that will accompany the troops on their trip from Key West to Cuba. This fleet of conveys will consist of many of the most powerful ships now doing blockade duty off Havana
 Some little fear is felt by the Gov ernment that the troops will be attack ed by Spanish soldiers while they are landing in Cuba. The big guns on the VeSSels or AdInlral SampSonS S fleet are relied upon to afford protection and every precaution will be taken before any men are landed from the ships.
 Senor Quesado of the Cuban Junta informs me that the United States has made arrangements with General Co., meg for an immediate junctiol with the insurgents on the arrival of United States troops in Cuba. Members of the Junta claim also that the insurgent force under General Gomez is 25 GOO strong. They admit, however that this army is greatly lacking in arms and ammunition. I am informed that it is the purpose of the United States to provide the Cubans with such ammuni- tion and arms as they actually need.
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-30

evttable. l blew three whistles and | the approaching vessel answered with ohe DIdSt That was the first time l heard tie Columbia's whistle Instantly
 I ordered our engines full speed astern. l The vessels came together, however, 1 Wllh a terrible crash, and the bow Of
 the Foscoha ran up on the cruisers
 ar1nor belt and then cut through her SponSonS. They remained locked for couple of seconds, but the backing of the Foscolia's engines tore off her bow as far back as the first water-tight ouIkhead. The wreckage stuck in the cruisers side above and below the wa ter Ilne and caused the Columbia to list considerably. Had it not been for the pulglng of the sponsor from the side or the Warshfp, the Foscolia would have struck the Columbia only a glancing blow. The bow of the Foscolia became wedged between the sponsor and hull or the cruiser and the bow of my boat was completely wrenched off.
 It was dead calm at the time of the collision. After backing away I saw the injury to the Foscolia was serious and instantly ordered the lifeboatS launced. They were in the water in just four minutes and my crew were ordered into them. I remained aboard the wreck with my five officers. My engineers after trying the engines, re- ported them to be so badly damaged by L4lC COlllSlOII etS u De luCdDdDie or WOTk- ing the ship. The Foscolia was leaking badly and the pumps were started. The crew was sent aboard the cruiser, which had hole in her starboard large enough to drive team and carriage through. The pumps were kept work ing until 10:30 p. m., but the Foscolia was getting lower and lower in the wa ter.
 Two boats from the Columbia were standing by me and Lieutenant Will Hams asked me at that hour what I intended doing. I replied that would stand by my ship until she went down. Then I ordered the officers into the life boat and I remained at the main rig ging while the steamship continued to sink. I got into the small boat and re- mained with my officers about fifty yards from the sinking shin.
 Exactly ct a. m. the Foscolia went down head first in nineteen fathoms of water. It reappeared again a few min utes later and then disappeared for ever, stern first None of my men were hurt, but I cannot tell if all the men on the Columbia escaped injury. I think not.
 "The Foscolia, which I commanded for twelve months, was an iron vessel of 9S0 tons net and 1536 tons gross, launched at Newcastle, England, in 1879, and her hailing port was London. She was 252 feet long, 34 feet beam and p feet ' inches deep. She was schooner rigged. had two masts, double deck, four bulkheads, compound engines and carried water ballast"
