SAMPSON WILL
WAIT FOR TROOPS

1t Is extremely improbable that any
further ombardmsnts will occur unless
Rear Admiral Sampson should find the
enemy Ii erecting batteries or placing
new guns In position, In which event no
viii, officials say, do the right thing In
stopping tho work. 1t was announced
with positiven, IS that Rear Admiral
Sampson had becn advised to wait the
arrival Of troops before attempting any
offensive movement against the Spanish
squadron.
Pending the arrival OF the troops, IL is
understood that Rear Admiral Sampson
will get In Communication With the In.
surRents 80 that they may be prepared
to assist In the proposed operations.
There is reason to believe that Rear Ad-
miral sampson took on board ono Of the
ships of his command arms and ammu-
milton for the insurgents and that before
this time the supplies have been distrib-
uted, so that Genaral aarcia's command
has plenty OF war munitions.
The Spanish feet is the grand objective
OF the maneuvers under way. and a. that
feet can only be destroyed or captured
by the effective use of siege guns aided
by the naval force of the harbor of San
tiago de Cubs, IL In not believed that the
result OF tho operations will be obtained
until the American army with siege guns
arrives at les destination and performs
the work cut out for it.

A SILLY STORY
ABOUT CERVERA

Paris, June 3-There II q persistent
belief here and at Madrid thst Admiral
Cervera is not at Santiago do Cuba. The
correspondent of the 0aulois at Madrid
teleRraphs from there saying he has
learned from the highest aathorlty that
Admiral Cervera has never besn IL the
hsrbor Of Santiago de Cuba, and that the
Spanish ships there belong TO Capt. VII
lamil's torpedo squadron. 10 appears
from the information gathered by the
correspondent that Admiral Csrvera after
leaving the Cape Verde Islands ''mansu-
vored 30 as to deceive the Americans and
then started at full speed for the Philip
pines, where the fleet Is to arrive on Hat-
urday or Sunday. His orders are to de-
stroy Admiral Dewey's feet and then In
tercept, capture or destroy the American
transports on their way to the Philippine
islands from San Francisco.
In conclusion the correspondent of the
Gaulois says:
Admiral Camara's squadron may be sx-
pected to join Admiral Cervera's "a the
Philippine Islands In q few weeks.
