vera has not been reported since it left
Curacao Sunday. The last seen OF it it
was heading westward. Admiral Samp-
sons feet remained off the coast OF
Hayti yesterday. Commodore Schley's
flying squadron was yesterday supposed
to be off the coast of Florida, heading
South, and the American fleets are
seeking a fight with Cervera's squadron
and will alter their movements 10 suit
the circumstances. a cablegram from
C4diz states that the Spanish reserve
feet is now there. This feet, it is also
stated, will cross the Atlantic if Admi-
raj Cervera's squadron sttains good
position.
The first expedition 10 the relief OF
Admiral Dewey at Manila will not start
until Thursday. This delay is said to
be owing to reassuring advices received
from the Admiral and to desire TO
load the ships OF the expedition to their
full capacity.
A dispatch from Caracas says: Ven
ezuela is for Spain and the people OF all
classes in that country hope to see the
United States defeated.
The troops going to Manila are to be

the shape of a derelict, sinking it. An
old Spanish schooner, with her deck
loaded to the rails with rusty iron, car

damaged as to cause her to sink. As

on the schooner, Commander Todd, OF
the Wilmington, believed the Spanish
trap might also contain explosives, and
therefore, laying of q considerable
