Admiral Sampson Confirms the Cape Verde
Fleet Report.

WAsHGNGToN, May 10.

WAsHNGToN, May 10.
Secretary of the Navy Long at ten o'clock
this morning received despatch from Ad-
miral Sampson, stating that the Spanish
squadron which left st. Vincent on April
Goth had been sighted west of st. Pierre
Martinique. The torpedo boat destroyer
Furor put in at st. Pierre late Wednesday
night and five other ships continued in the
direction of Cuba. At five o'clock yesterday
afternoon the torpedo boat destroyer Terror
put in at st. Pierre, but neither visitor re-
mained long.
The Cape Verde squadron consists of the
Almirante Oquenda Vizcaya, Infanta Maria
Teresa and Cristobal Colon, all armored
cruisers of $3.50 tons, and the torpedo boat
destroyers Terror, Furor and Osado, of 400
tons.
From Martinique, where the Spanish fleet
was sighted yesterday, to San Juan, where
Admiral Sampson is awaiting them, is a dis
tance of 425 miles. At the rate the Spanish
fleet is supposed to be sailing, seven knots an
hour, it would require little more than two
days, so they are not expected to meet the
American fleet before tomorrow, when the
enemy should be engaged IN battle.

A Hungarian named Steve Savilko was in
stantly killed this morning by fall of coal
and clod at the Shenandoah City colliery
strippngs The man left his boarding house
in Bradley row at the eastern end of Centre
street at an early hour to pick coal at the
strippings for the proprietor Of the boarding
house. He was to be assisted by another
boarder, but started out ahead of him.
When the other man reached the strppiugs
he found Savilko's dead body partly covered
with debris from the embankment where the
victim had started to dig coal The accident
could have taken place but a few minutes
before the companion arrival, as the latter
left the house shorty after savlko did
The recent heavy rains have weakened the
embankments Of the strippings and it is be-
lieved that Savilko precipitated the fall as
soon as he commenced work with his pick.
The remains were removed to the boarding
house, where they were viewed by Deputy
Coroner Manly and jury. Friends will
have to provide burial as the deceased was
destitute. He was man about 40 years Of
age and is survived by a wife and family,
who live in the old country. Savilko had
been a resident of the town but a week. He
came here from the Scranton region.
