SPANS TROUBLES At HOME

London, May 6.-The officials Of the
Spanish embassy here issued a categori-
cal denial of the reports in circulation
here and elsewhere to the effect that the
queen regent intends to abdicate the
throne of Spain.
1t is announced in a letter from Madrid
dated May 2, describing the military pro-
cession in honor of Murat's victims, that
among the cries on the Puerto del Sol
was the fatal one of Death to the civil
guards" as section of this famous body
passed.
Continuing, the letter says: 1.-THE civil
guards are the very backbone of Spain,
the one incorruptible body of men, whose
very presence has a powerful effect in
suppressing riot and sedition. So when
Death to the civil guards is heard. the
prudent man will prepare for the worst"
Madrid, May 6.-Further disorders are
reported from different parts of the pro-
vinces, especially from Murcia, capital
of the province of that name, thirty miles
from Carthagena, where mob, composed
mainly of striking miners, has cut the
telegraph lines, set fire to the town hall
and the law courts, burning the archives.
The rioters also made an attack upon the
local jail, beating in the doors and releas-
ing the prisoners. Finally the rioting
strikers have interrupted railroad COM
munication with Murcia and have de-
stroyed a store by the use Of dynamite,
distributing the provisions which IL con-
tanned. The situation is regarded IS be-
ing very serious. Quite recently 5000
striking miners Of Murcia attempted to
march upon Carthagena and were only
prevented from doing so by a strong force
of troops.
Port Said. May 6.-The Spanish steamer
Leo XIII, with troops from Manila, has
sailed for Barcelona.

HOW DEWEY FOUGHT 1T OUT
Rear Admiral Irwin Gives His Idea
of the Battle of Manila


Washington, May sARear Admiral John
Irwin, whose gallant services with Dupont
at the naval battle at Port Royal are a
part of American history, has given the
New York Journal his impressions Of the
plan Of battle at Manila. Admiral Irwin
was once orderen to Manila and after
ward ordered to Honolulu by President
Cleveland. He is a warm friend of Com
modore Dewey.
HE handled his fleet magnifcently,"
said Admiral Irwin. He is cool, daring
| and at the same time judicious officer;
| and these are the qualifications which
made him a commodore few days ago
! and a hero today in the eyes of the world.
He has done and executed with dash,
brlliancy and historical effect only what
was expected of him by all of his friends
IN the American navy.
His victory has lost the Pacific to
Spain. She can no longer fly a flag there
without base, and since the humiliation
of Montejo's feet, Spain has nothing in
the Pacific worthy the name of a war
vessel. Spain blundered inexcusably in
the fact that she did not reinforce the
Manila squadron, knowing the result of
Its defeat.
"The whole American feet, in my opin-
ion and not q part OF IT, passed the islands
in the outer bay. Whatever Notifications
the Spaniards had there were abandoned,
and the guns and munitions were trans
ferred to Cavite. Commodore Dewey took
advantage of either the strong food tide
or strong ebb tide to go in because If
there had been any floating torpedoes
they would have been discounted by the
tide, as was the case in Mobile bay in the
Farragut fight.
'T believe that the American feet took
position in front Of the Spanish squadron
and forts, and that Dewey adopted the
tactics Of Dupont at the Port Royal fight.
He moved his vessels in an allipse and
pounded fleet and batteries as the YES
sells passed in front. After the action
had continued four or five hours Dewey
retired, not behind the foreign ships, as
stated in the Spanish dispatches but to
the McCullocn, the dispatch boat and
to the collier, which were safely in the
rear of the American squadron.
This gave the Spaniards the impress
sion that the fleet had retired to land the
wounded. The wounded were taken to the
McCulloch After the vessels and men
had been put into shape again the fleet
advanced into their original place and
scene of action, and the fight was then
fought out to the finish as described

Spaniards were expected to make an at
tack, and occupied the hills to the right and
left. Two miles beyond, far out on front
of the American forces, and occupying the
roads leading to Santiago, is force of 1900
Cubans under General Carlos Gonzales. The
entire Cuban army, under direction of Gen.
Calixto Garcia. is massng for cooperative
attack on Santiago.
Garcia, with 5000 Cubans, is expected from
the interior before nightfaI, while from
Acerraderos, twenty miles to the west of
Santiago. 1000 Cubans arrived to-day.
There are no Spanards in the entire coun-
try between Baiquiri, where most of the
American troops were landed and Santiago.
The retreat of the enemy, after yesterdays
battle, apparently became rout, which did
not end until the fortifcations around the
city were reached. The transport Leona to-
day brought to Juragua from Aoerradaros

armed and plentifully supplied with ammu-

PROMISE WARM RECEPTION.
DOns Will Prepare to Resist an At
tack by American War Shins.

MADRID, June 26.-The arrival of the
Spanish fleet at Port Said causes no sur
prise here, Admiral Camara having an
nounced that he was going to the Philip
pines. The threat OF the American govern
ment to attack the Spanish coast has had
no effect. A third squadron is preparing for
the defense of the coast. a member of the
Cabinet in an interview to-day said Let
them come. We will receive them as they
deserve"
In view of the American threat to send
a fleet to the peninsula the government
deems it advisable to be prepared for even
Qualities. The lights at certain ports have
been extinguished, torpedoes have been pre-
pared and additional guards have been
mounted The government has prohibited
the dispatch of kilograms from Cuba an
nouncing the arrival Of vessels which have
forced the blockade The Queen Regent
has sanctioned the various measures which
were adopted by the Cortes.
The Cabinet held long session to-day
for the purpose of devising national de-
fenses. Senior Sagasta, the premier en-
deavoring to persuade his colleagues to de-
fer the consideration of domestic questions.
Changes in the Ministry were discussed.
The tone of the newspaper press is de-
spondent, and many journals bemoan the
fact that the powers have abandoned Spain
while she is defending their cause They
say that France, having received CONNER
cial concessions from Washington remains
indifferent, while Germany keeps in the
background and Russia uses Spain as a
cats paw in her diplomacy. Spain must, in
no case, the papers declare, accept the in
tervention of Europe 1t would be better to
treat directly with the enemy
1t is hoped in official circles that the
Spanish will defend Santiago until General
Pando's reinforcementsg arrive there by
forced marches. The Americans are adj
vancing in three columns via Alcares.
Firmega and Jaragua, flanked by insurgents
in order to force the Spanish positions at
Sevilla and Gran Pena.
Captain General Blanco telegraphs from
Cuba that the American troops engaged in
the Santiago combat were "the Twelfth and
Seventh Infantry four mounted squads of
the First Cavalry, four squads of the
Twelfth and eight bodies of regular troops"
The Americans, Blancos dispatch says, had
twelve killed, including a captain. The
Spanish losses are not announced.

BLANCO's REPORTS.
Spanish Version of the Battle with
Rough Riders and Regulars.


LONDON, June 27.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Times says: General Blan-
co has cabled to Lieut.. General Correa, min
lister of war as follows: Continuing my ac-
count of what happened yesterday (Thurs-
day) and to-day at Santiago. General Ru-
bins column, after concluding its opera
tions was again attacked midday and in the
afternoon by the enemy's forces in large
numbers, supported by artillery. The enemy
again advanced to the attack this (Friday)
morning but were repulsed with numerous
and visible losses. They were seen to be
acting in concert with the insurgent bands,
and shouts were heard of viva Cuba indie
pendente" In both days fighting we lost
eight men killed and three officers and
twenty four men wounded. The colonel of
the Puerto rifle battalion, Commandant An
dres Alcaniz and colonel of cavalry, Domin-
go Berry, especially distinguishing them
selves The fact of our not being able to
take the offensive before receiving reinforce
ments from Manzanillo, and also of the out
er line of defenses at Santiago being weak
ened. induced General Linares to retire and
to entrench his men. This was effected
without moestation from the enemy. OPP
posite Baiquiri twenty-five vessels and the
fleet of transports remained in sight.
Further intelligence is anxiously awaited.
Regarding the country between Sevilla and
Santiago, all the typographical information
we possess is that it is difficult of access.
Admiral Simpsons amende honorable has
somewhat Gained the violent Indignation
produced by the disgraceful calumny which
imputed barbarc conduct to the Spanish
troops. On all sides / hear the hope ex-
pressed that the United States government
will take all possible means to correct the
erroneous impression made by Admiral
Simpsons first dispatch. The agitation
is already forgotten in the anxiety as to
events in Cuba. The air is full of rumors,
but 1 am assured by the most competent
authorities that for the present at least
neither Senor Sagasta nor any other min
lister will resign
Further extracts from the dispatch of
General Linares commanding the Spanish
forces al Santiago de Cuba, have been pub
lished with regard to the engagements on
Thursday and Friday last. General Linares
cabled: THE enemys Decentralization con-.
tinues in bay in the mining districts
which, after destroying the village we had
to abandon, owing to the fleet keeping up
an incessant fire on us from their heavy
guns at distance of 1900 metres. Our in
fantry is being intrenched and we are TAX
ing away all war material with us"

LONDON, June 27.-The Wen

egraph says: "The latest advices
from Madrid indicate that there is
GROUND for the apprehension that
Marshal Martinez de Campos will
soon issue a pronunciamento and
attempt a dictatorship.
Minute directions have been sent
to the Austro-Hungarian ambassa-
dor at Madrid, Count Dubsky, re-
garding the personal safety of the
Queen Regent. The latest news
from Madrid is that the situation
is so serious that several Cabinet
meetings have been held in a des-
perate attempt to avert crisis"

well fortified and prepared to resist all the
forces the American pigs can bring against
us" Evidently at this point the American
transports appeared and the boasting Span
ish officer ran off, leaving the letter half
written.
The Yankton arrived this morning from
Norfolk Two thousand Cubans were trans
ported to-day from Acerraderos to Altares.
They were taken off shore in pontoons, un-
der the supervision of General Ludlow, of
the engineers. They belonged to General
Calixto Garcia's force, and transporting
them by water from the west to the east
side of Santiago saved several days. 1t also
saves unnecessary fighting. The Cubans
will join the army's van.
All the convoy ships, except the battle
ship Indiana, which is off the harbor, are
coaling at Guantanamo. The Hornet has
gone on blockading duty on the south coast.
This morning the Gloucester shelled a
Spanish party that was working at the rail-
road trestle east Of Ell Moro.
