back, but really the position is I'M
changed. The arrival of the American

German protection. Five German

On June 81. Accession day. the for
eign warships saluted the Spanish coll
ors. 1t was believed that the lombard
ment had begun, but the panic was
soon quelled. A French warship left
the harbor, after saluting the Spanish
flag. The harbor batteries answered,
and this gave rise to a false alarm of
the arrival of the American troops.
The Spaniards believe that Great
Britain intends some sort of action. 1t
is reported that they will burn all the
houses to Malate to clear the ground
for defense.

AN UNREWARDED HERO.
Sampson Too Busy to Attend to Ber-
nadou's Case.

Washington, June 27.-It is regarded
as a little singular that three of the
sailors of the torpedo boat Winslow,
who participated in the affair at Car
denas when Ensign Bagley was killed,
have been rewarded by being advanced
to warrant officers, while the man who
most of ali distinguished himself on
that occasion, Lieutenant John Ber-
nadou, lies unrewarded at Key West,
still suffering from the effects of his
wound. This, however, is explained
by the fact that the department pos
sesses within itself the power to re-
ward in this way enlisted men, but it
can act in the case of a commissioned
officer like Bernardou only upon the
recommendation of his superior officer
In the present instance, that superior
officer at the time of the Cardenas af-
fair was Admiral Sampson. who is now,
presumably, too busily engaged with
other matters to recall to mind Ber-
nadou'S case.

Threat of An Expedition Shows That
America Is Alarmed.

London, June 2S.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Times says: The
threats TO send a squadron to Spain.
as reported from the United States, IS
regarded here as proof that the Ameri-
can government is seriously alarmed
at the prospect of Admiral Camara ap-
pearing in the neighborhood of Manila.
1t is argued that if the United States
were to show so little regard for the
usages of civilized warfare as to bonn
bard small open towns, America might
kill a few peaceful inhabitants and in
jure private property, but the practical
effect Of such a fragrant infraction OF
the laws of war would merely be to
5nfiame the war spirit of the Spaniards.

WATSON'S SQUADRON.
The navy department posted the fol-

sails today in the Newark to join Samp-
son, when he will take under his COM
mand an armored squadron with cruis-

The navy department has posted the

having been extensive repaired, is now
a swift warship. The operations before
Sampson are of a character that will
admit of employment TO the best adj
vantage of the big monitors for bonn
harding purposes and small cruisers
and gunboats as blockading vessels.
The start will be made from off San
tiago just as soon as the squadron can
be gotten ready, and this, fortunately.
owing to the completeness of the naval
mobilization, will be in a very short
time.
There is no intention of weakening
the Havana blockade by the with
drawal of Commodore Watson with his
flagship To prevent this, Secretary
Long has ordered Commodore Howell
to proceed Immediately to the Amer
lean fleet off Havana to take command
of the post vacated by Commodore
Watson. Commodore Howell is at
present in command of the coast patrol
fleet and he will take the entire fleet
with him, that is, all Of the larger
vessels. to reinforce the blockade of
the Cuban coast. He is already on his
way south from the New England
coast and should reach Cuban waters
by the end of the week.
The naval war board was in session
all the forenoon. They had before them
confidential kilograms from Admiral
Sampson. with whom they had been in

two days.
