Key West, May 4.-This harbor is
again empty. Rear Admiral Sampson
fleet has sailed and the situation is
one of renewed expectation. 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 squadron s
Manila victory Until then no inter-
esting developments are expected ex-
cept possibly the bringing in of new
prizes.
Key West, Fla, May 4-The New
York, Indiana, Iowa, Cincinnati, De-
troit, Mayflower and probably several
other war vessels here are positively
going to Porto Rico to reduce the forti-
fications there and prevent the Spanish
fleet now supposed to be coming from
Cape Verde from making Porto Rico a
base Of operations. The plans are per-
fectly arranged. The blockade of the
Cuban ports will be maintained with
out the vessels mentioned. The New
York anchored at it's original position
outside Sand Key light, and while no
body would admit that Porto Rico
would be the destination it was gen.

To Destroy Base of Supplies.
The Spanish fleet coming west con-
sists of four cruisers, two torpedo boat
destroyers and three torpedo boats Tho
plan of the American campaign is to
have the naval depot at Porto Rico, the
coal station and the Notifications either
destroyed or occupied by our men be-
fore the Spanish fleet arrives. After
destroying the base of supplies the
American flotilla will then put to sea
and try to engage the Spanish fleet
which by that time ought to be in the
vicinity OF Porto Rico. The govern
ment dispatch boat Leyden left Key
West in convoy of a torpedo boat, with
General Emilio Nunez, the noted Cubar
fighter, and T.. Carlya and Captain
Dorst Of the American army, who are
to be landed near Matanzas to pave the
way for the invasion of the American
troops. Six others, including pilots
are in the party and two horses went
along also.
Say n Gunboat Was Sunk.
The crew of the Eagle here say that
in the engagement off Cienfuegos Fri
day they are positive that one Spanish
gunboat went down and torpedo boat
was so badly damaged that it could
scarcely take refuge at bay. The sea
was perfectly smooth and the firing or
both sides perfectly directed. One OF
the officers of the Eagle says: eve
were surprised at the accuracy of the
Spaniards' aim. Their gunnery is a
revelation. One of their shots struck
within a few feet Of the Eagles bow
spirit and two went over the deck eight
feet in the air. The Eagle at one time
was engaged against about ten gun
boats. The little ship edged in as
closely as possible and eventually drove
