OFFICIAL VIEW
OF SIMPSONS WORK

Washington, May la-The navy depart
ment was ell excitement again this morn
ing upon the receipt of the news that
Admiral Sampson's fleet had begun the
bombardment OF san Juan de Porto Rico
and fuel was added to the flames when
the news came later that the spanish fly
ing squadron had been sighted oil Mar
Unique, giving promise OF heavy lighting
to come. The fact that the admiral gave
notice of his intention to lombard San
Juan, as Is reported from Sc. Thomas,
is an indication that the movementssupon
san Juan was not suddenly conceived

Whsther or not the order to the admiral
included bombar6inenJ IN not disclosed
at the navy department. Indeed. there
is nothing In sampson's report to indi.
cate that hv really did lombard the
place. He merely attacked the forts ut
the entrance OF the harbor, and II any
shells struck within the town itself, they
were stray Shots It Is surmised tnrt
Admiral Simpsons object In making
the attack in this fashion without
landing force of troops in reserve to oc-
oupy the town, il it were captured. was
to destroy the fortifioations and make the
narbor useless tn the Spanish lying
squadron as place OF refuge
The reports so far received show that he
did not compIete that under taking yester-
dav and the question now Is whether he
will resume his work today OF will be d.
verted from it by the report OF the pres
snce of the Spanish flying squadron in
the neigh porhood of Martinique.
