Awful Disaster at the Floating of a

PersOns-Thirty-Fo Bodies
Have Been Recovered.

London, June %. - During the

Blackwell Tuesday, by the duchess of
York, a ceremony at which the United
States ambassador, Col. John Hay, and
Mrs. Hay and Lieut.. Col. VOL, the

II children have been recovered.
The staging that was destroyed had
been erected by workmen near the
stern of japanese cruiser in course Of
construction in the Blackwell yards. 1t
was light structure, about so feet long,
and notices had been posted warning
the public that it was dangerous. De-
spite the efforts of the police some 200
people invaded the staging, which com
manded good view of the launching
ceremony. Two great waves completely
demolished it, and on receding carried
most of its occupants into deep water.

Columbus, O., June 23.--The republic

a. IN. Wednesday when the temporary
organization was made permanent.
Prayer was offered by DR.. j. {. Watt.
There was scarcely any fractional mi
nority in the convention as it was or
ganiZed What are known as the ma
tional administration men, as distin-
guished from the state administration
men, had everything their way with
out opposition.

Col. Wood directed the operations Of the
rough riders for several miles west.
Both parties struck the Spaniards
about the same time and the fight last
ed an hour.
THE Spaniards opened fire from the
thick brush, but the troops drove them
back from the start, storming the block
house around which they made the
ninal stand and sent them scattering
over the mountains. The cavalrymen
were afterwards reinforced by the
Seventh, Twelfth and Seventeenth in
fantry, part of the Ninth cavalry, the
Second Massachusetts and the Seventy
first New York.

The Americans now hold the position
at the threshold Of Santiago de Cuba

MAY CROSS THE SEA.
Fleet of A mcrican Wnrships to Attack
Spanish Ports should the Cadix
Fleet Go TO Manila.

Washington. June 25.--The state de-
partment has just received advices con-
firming the report that the Spanish
Cadiz squadron is in the Mediterranean
moving eastward. The dispatch came
from an agent of the department in
Algiers as follows:
Capt. Moon, of the English steamer
Hampton. informs me that he passed on
the I'D. at three p. m, off Pampelleria, the
Spanish squadron bound east, Il ships in
Guiding transports laden with troops and
three torpedo boats"
Washington, June 25.-The war is to
be carried into Africa metaphorically
speaking, if Spain is foolhardy enough
to send the Cadiz feet through the
Suez canal to attack Dewey in the
Philippines. 1t is announced on good
authority that before the last Spanish
vessel has passed through the canal an
American squadron will be steaming at
full speed across the Atlantic, straight
for the coast OF Spain, to bring the war
home to the Spanish people. There is
no doubt that Dewey can take care of
himself against the Cadiz fleet, since
MS O"H sluhuroH VIII DC REINFORCED by
ironclads long before Camara's ships
sight the Bay of Manila. and he will
have the shore batteries with him in
stead of against him in the struggle.
But it has been concluded by the adj
ministration that nothing save the most
severe measures will suffice to bring the
Spanish people to realizing sense of
the hopelessness of the continuance of
the present war, and even Kindness, it
is held, will dictate such a blow as that
it is proposed TO administer if the
Spanish persist in this last project.
After the fall of Santiago and the
capture and destruction of Cervera' S
squadron Sampson will have an abun-
dance of vessels to spare for the task
set for him.

Baiquiri iron pier, IL miles east of the
city of Santiago de Cuba, at ten o'clock
"Wednesday morning. simultaneously
the American feet made a diversion
towards MORO castle and westward.
However secretly the plans were kept,
the Spaniards seemingly had full warn
ing of the hour and place for the land
ing of troops. The transports and their
conveys assembled off shore during the
might, but before dawn the houses of
the villages were fired, proving that
Capt. Gen. Blanco's standing orders al
ways to burn place before deserving

wonderful faulty they burned the cot
tages, houses and factory of the iron
company, but left its pier, vital to the
United States authorities directing the
landing, standing and uninjured. All
dawn the New Orleans, st. Louis, De.
troit, Wasp, Tecumseh and Suwanee

but they were not molested. During
the confagration ashore there were
several loud explosions, either from DIV
