New ork, June S.-Captain Phillips, of
the steamship Advance, of the Panama
steamship line, which arrived yesterday
from Colon, said that on Saturday
night last he came near sinking a
United States warship" off Key West
The latter. which had three smoke
stacks, displayed no lights and in the
haze which prevailed the Advance was
almost upon the big warship before her
presence was discovered Then there
was lively work aboard both vessels,
and serious collision was most mar
rowly avertcd. The sides of the rner-
chairman and the warship lightly
touched each other. He thinks the war
ship was the flagship New York.

DOWNFALL OF SPAIN
As Predicted by an Eminent English Ed
itor, Who Wonders That She
Does Not Sue For Peace.

Does Not Sue For Peace.
Washington, June 3.-Mr. Henry
Norman, editor of the London Daily
Telegraph, last night cablcd his paper
as follows:
The navy department is still with
out news of the alleged fight at Santi-
ago, although the papers continue to
supply fresh details. The probability
is that Commodore Schiey took active
movement so as either TO stop tho
Spaniards erecting carthworks or be-
cause Spanish ship showed herself.
Whether the troops have sailed from
Tampa Is equally uncertain, it being
asserted and denied here with equal
confidence.
All these details. however, are in
reality unimportant. The main out
lines of the situation are perfectly
clear, and are not likely to change.
When Admiral Cervera's whereabouts
were definitely settled few days ago
forward movement was ordered in
stantly and General Miles left for the
front the same night. If the trans
ports are not already at sea their oe-
parture cannot he delayed much long
er. Admiral Sampson, with two squad
rons under him, has an overwhelming
force off Santiago Through the in,
discretion of member of the house
of representatives the whole world
knows that $4,000 to 10000 men are tho
force to be Immediately dispatched.
Porto Rico will be occupied, while a
combined land and sea attack will
reduce Santiago. Admiral Cervera',;
fate is sealed with absolute certainty,
and the capture Of Manila is a nero
matter of time.
Under these circumstances it is in
comprehensive that Spain does not
make peace ovortures. By no conCeiv-
able chance, short of cyclone send.
ing the whole American navy to tho
bottom of The sea, can her chances be
improXed Thi!e every daay ay bigger big lal biz
lose Cuba and Porto Rico, but it is
within the bounds Of possibility that
she might utilize and regain the Phil
ippines by prompt capitulation. fancy
that nobody is more surprised at her
inability or refusal to recognize the
inevitable than President Mckinley
himself. If she procrastinates much
longer she may bid farewell to the
Philippines also, but this Is the only
respect in which an immediate cessa-
tion or the definite prolongation of the
war will make any difference.
The above is not personal opinion.
1t Is series of facts well known to
every informed person here. 1t is not
only the truth, but the whole truth,
and nothing will occur to alter it.
