The dynamite cruiser Vessuvius, which
Joined Admiral SIMPSONS fleet off San
tiago this morning, is to be followed by
the Ericsson, the Foote and other torpe-
do boats. The arrival of the torpedo fleet
will confirm the opinion that Admiral
Sampson intends to force the harbor on
the coming Of the troops.
Every man in the fleet is anXiouSly
awaiting the soldiers, for it is recognized
that no decisive movement is possible
until the troops effect landing.
Everybody is desperately tired Of the
present diSheartening condition. The tedi-
Gus maneuyers, the ceaSeleSs watching
and the exasperating inactivity are tell
ing on officers and men. At no place are
the troopships more anxiously watched
for than On the sun blistered hill top
where Lieutenant Colonel Huntington and
600 marines, lie in rife pits under an al
most continuous hail of Spanish bullets.
FOrty-eight hours of practically ceaseless
fighting has well nigh wrecked the men,
who arrived here incapacitated for ac-
tive field duty by the long wait on the
Panther.
With few exceptions, however. the ma
rines showed spirit under the persistent
fire of the Spanish buShwhackers, the
officers particularly exhibiting the cool
ness and nerve of seasoned campaigners.
Today the work has been the lightest
since the landing on Friday, the Span
iards having fired few shots since day
break.

p. m.-The United States cruiser New
Orleans, having been ordered by Rear
Admiral Sampson to destroy the new
emplacements half a mile east of el
Moro, on which large number of Span
iards had been working, took up a posi-
ton al o'clock this morning about SO
yards from shore and 1900 yards from
the Moro battery.
She opened upon the emplacements
with her rapid-fire guns. Red clouds Of
sand rose on the hill top where the en-
placements were building. Following the
fifteenth shot, the MORO batteries repli-
ed with one shell that fell near the stern
Of the flagship New York. After twenty
minutes gun practice Admiral Sampson
signaled the New Orleans TO cease firing.
Then, as she retired, the MORO batteries
sent ten shells after her, but without
damage. Admiral Sampson hoisted the
signal Firing we'll done,' the first COM
pliment of the kind from the admiral.
THE VESSUVIUS' DEADLY SHELLS.
The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius joined
the fleet yesterday and was put to work
immediately Ensign Palmer, of the New
York, went on board the Vesuvius with
lieutenant Commander Pillsbury, to eX-
plain the location of the batteries. A
few minutes from midnight the Vesuvius
was about half a mile from the beach
west of el Moro. The Oregon's search
light played on the battery, while the
black nose of the cruiser pointed at the
westward batteries. Lieutenant Com
mander Pillsbury gave the word to fire
and Lieutenant Quimby opened the air
vent. There was a slight Kissing, a sort
of coughing noise, but no flame, no re-
port, no warning to the SpaniardS who
onds later dull roar broke the silence
of the tropical night. Two hundred
pounds of guncotton had exploded on the
hillside below the battery.

A London cable dispatch says: Ns'
tives Of the Philippine islsnds and Brit.
ish subjects who have interests there
are alarmed by the reports that the
pesce terms include the return OF those
islands to Spain. As result they
have held meeting in London and af-
ter consultation with the Philippines
In France and Belgium, have cabled
10 President Mckinley and 10 Senator
Davis, chairman OF the foreign rela-
tions committee. The message to Pres
ident Mckinley Is as follows-
"The Philippine residents in Europe
pray you not to abandon the Philip,
pine islands for the sake Of peace with
Spain. Our loyalty and trust in the
honor OF America entitle us TO- your
consideration aud support. TO hand
over our country again to Spain is
contrary TO the humanitarian proceed
ings Of your noble nation and the
wish of all classes. Civilization, trade
and order will be lost II Spanish au-
therity is re-established in any form.
The message to Senator Davis says
"a cast-iron agreement binding Spain
to form OF government satisfactory
to the inhabitants is preposterous. To
retain her sovereignty means decep-
ton, oppression aud bigotry. We
placed our rights in your hands and
pray you to induce the president and
senate not to abandon in the hour OF
peace people who, trusting in Amer
lean honor, fight for their common in
terests."
