Had Drawings of the Vessels Inte-
rior, showing Her Magazines.
Philadelphia, May SIT was learned
last night that man arrested on the
cruiser St. Paul at CRAMPS shipyard
on suspicion of being a Spanish spy Is
Howard Hannah. He is about so years
of age. He claimed that he was an
Austrian, and came to this country in
1881. Hannah also said that he was a
painter and had given UP his job to
enlist on the ST. Paul.
At the examination yesterday Han
nan strenuously denied that his inten-
lions had been hostile to the ship, but
notwithstanding his denials a rough
draft of the interior of the vessel,
showing the location of her magazines
and engines was found in his possess
sion.
He has not been placed in irons, but
strict watch is maintained over him.
He will be put ashore at League Island
navy yard when the st. Paul passes
there on her way to sea, and there
dealt with as the government authori-
ties may deem proper.

ADMIRAL SIMPSONS MISSION.
Probably Gone to Protect the Oregon
from the Spanish Fleet.

Probably Gone to Protect the Oregon
from the Spanish Fleet.
Key West, May 5.-This harbor is
again empty. Rear Admiral Samp-
sons fleet has sailed, and the situation
is one of renewed expectancy. There
is a strong impression prevailing that
the next news from the fleet will tell
of an important engagement of the
same character as the Asiatic squad
rcn's Manila victory. Until then no in
teresting developments are expected
here, except possibly the bringing in OF
new prizes.
Where the vessels have gone is Of
fically unannounced but surmise is
plentiful and varied. The fact that the
big battleships and monitors coaled to
their fullest capacity before steaming
away is taken to indicate a plan occu-
plying considerable time. The belief
most generally credited is that the
fleet has gone to protect the oregon
from a possible attack by the Spanish
fleet, which recently left Cape Verde
and is now unofficially reported to have
returned to Cadiz.
London May 5.--A dispatch to The
Daily Mail from Key West, sent by
way of Tampa In order to escape CEN
sorship. asserts of positive knowledge
that Rear Admiral SIMPSONS feet
will steam at full speed to Porto Rico,
either to destroy or to occupy the coal
ing station as naval base before the
Spanish squadron arrives, and then
put to sea and try TO engage the Cape
Verde fleet.

in San Francisco. which viii be loaded
with coal and supplies and rushed or
to join Commodore Dewey's fleet
Whether or not they Will carry troops
will be determined positively when the
commodore is heard from upon this
matter.
The navy department is hurrying to-
gether an exceptionally large stock Of
ammunition to so forward by the City
Of Pekin to recruit the ammunition Of
Commodore Dewey's fleet. The first
shipment of projectiles left New York
Tuesday, and additional shipments will
be made until the full quota of powder
and shot will be in san Francisco with
in the next ten days. There will be a
total of more than 10000 projectiles OF
various calber and weight, about 10000
six pound rife balls. 1000 five inch
shells, 5000 three pound shells and
1900 one pound balls. Powder intended
for other uses viii be forwarded to
San Francisco and sent to Commodore
Dewey.
No official news has come to confirm
the report from Hawaii that the islands
have been rendered by President Dole
to the United States for war uses. 1t
is said that if the incoming mail
brought the proposition to San Fran
cisco it would scarcely be trusted to
telegraph there, on account of its i'm
portance, but would be forwarded by
81 y,
it here In about five days. The naval
officers would welcome the possession
of Hawaii just at this moment, but it
is said President Doles proposition
must be submitted to congress.
The fine British cruiser Blake left
Gibraltar yesterday bound straight for
Rio, and it is supposed here that she
goes to observe any engagement that
might threaten between the Oregon
and the Spanish fleet
Great interest is felt in the reported
return of the Spanish Cape V-rde feet
to Cadiz, but, while admitting the
possibility Of the fast vessels of the
Spanish flying squadron making the
passage in the five days that the yes
sells have been out from St. Vincent,
naval officers are disposed to regard
with great suspicion news Of this kind
emanating from Portugal, because of
the recognized sympathy of the Portu-
guese with the Spanish side. The dis
patch which came from Lisbon stated
that the combined fleet cf Spain will
sfortly start for American waters"
1t is pointed out that the Cape Verde
fleet may be even now nearing our
coast, intending to attack the oregon.

OCCUPATION OF CUBA.
Cuban Volunteers Rushing to Serve
Under the Leadership of Gomez.

Cuban Volunteers Rushing to Serve
Under the Leadership of Gomez.
Tampa, Fla May Sit appears to be
almost a settled belief among army
officers here that no movement OF
United States troops toward Cuba will
take place until after the meeting of
the Spanish fiotilla with Rear Admiral
Simpsons squadron, which is now be-
lieved to be inevitable. Nevertheless,
everything possible is being done to put
the United States troops in readiness
for immediate shipment.
The Cuban recruiting offices that
have been opened here are fairly over
whelmed with applications for enlist
ment, and it is very probable that close
to / 500 men will be armed and ready
for service under the banners of Gomez
before the end of the week. Most of
the Cubans who are now in the West
Tampa camp have already had con-
siderable military training. Their num-
Der is being constantly increased by
arrivals from New York, Jacksonville
and other recruiting points. Between
30 and 40 young Cubans arrived here
yesterday from New York and will be
followed by about $50 more from there,
ali enlisted at the junta headquarters.

yesterday Representative Newlands,
of Nevada, introduced a joint resolution
for the annexation of Hawaii. 1t as
sumes the Hawaiian public debt to not
exceeding s4,0OO0O0 prohibits further
immigration of Chinese and appoints

vastly superior in force had prudently
returned and placed his ships under
the protection of the forts. This was
his only chance of meeting the enemy
on something like equal terms, and it
did not suffice.
Soon the Americans opened fire.
The Spaniards replied vigorously, and
the combat continued without inter
ruption for four hours, during which
the Don Antonio de Ullea was sunk,
the Castillo and Mindanao were set on
fire, and the Reina Maria Christina
and the Don Juan de Austria were
seriously damaged. One or two of the
smaller craft were scuttled by their
crews to escape capture. Others took
refuge in a small neighboring creek,
empting into Baker bay, where pre-
sumably the American ships were I'M
able to follow them. But not one sur
rendered.
Captain Cadar 20, of the cruiser Reina
Maria Christina, who was killed on
the bridge of his vessel, was one of the
most brilliant officers in the Spanish
navy.
An unconfirmed dispatch from Mad
rid places the Spanish loss in the bat
tie of Manila at 400 killed and a large
number wounded. The American loss
is not stated, though it is asserted that
the american ships were badly dam
aged
Little additional news has arrived
from Manila, but the cardinal fact is
that Commander Dewey is now in pos
session of Manila bay, and can GER
tainly take possession of Corregidor
Island. even if he finds difficulty in
effectually capturing Manila itself,
owing to the absence of a necessary
landing force. Having thus secured a
naval base, he will have no difficulty
II securing supplies of coal. This is
a mere question of money and or
ganization. The belligerent who is
strong in certain waters will generally

Commodore Dewey, according to a
dispatch from Madrid, gave General
August "a hours to comply with an
ultimatum which demanded all warlike
charge of the government officials. The
ultimatum asserted that no money levy
would be made on Manila The dis
patch says it is believed in Madrid
that the government has already
cabled the captain general authority to
comply with the demand, no other
course being open.
The cabinet ministers admit that
the naval battle off Cavite ended in
utter rout, but they are resolved to
spare no efforts in the defense of their
country.
1t is noticeable among all classes,
especially among politicians, that there
is a strong hope of an intervention
by continental powers, especially Ger
many and Russia.
