st. Paul, Nay 30.-A d'spGtch to the
Pioneer r"eSs from the New York
Herald s""s:
Word las been received here that
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet is again at
Key West taking on coal and pro-
visions, preparatory to the lombard
ment Of Havana.
The following mail letter from Key
West takes up the movements of the
North Atlantic squadron, now under
Admiral Sampson, from Monday last.
At that time Sampson had sailed east
along the north coast Of Cuba on the
flagship New York, the understanding
being thai IL he did not meet the
Spanish feet he would continue on
around Cape Maysi and join Schley:
key West, May 90 When / was
able to send to you the last definite
news of SIMPSONS feet, the admiral
was jogging along the north coast OF
Cuba toward Cape Mayis, and the
New Orleans was racing after him
with dispatches from Washir gton. AT
the same time the monitor Amphi-
trite was being towed out to him by
the Maritime transport Panther, and
the definite news was beginning TO
come in that Cervera was really
checkmated at Santiago de Cuba by
Commodore Schley. Advices from the
dispatch boat Dewey, which followed
Sampson, show that the main purpose
vas TO hold all the approaches TO Ha-
vana and Key West by which the
Spanish fleet might come, in case it
| escaped from Santiago de Cuba, and
in case the Spanish admiral appeared
TO give him battle. Key West was de-
Tended only by the battery on land,
by the mines and by the monitor Ter
ror. Son g concern had been manifest
ed over reports that pilot boat had
brought in that Spanish scouting
boats were around Key West at night;
and, while not much credence was
given these report, still an attack on
our main and advanced naval base
was
Too SerioBs N Matter
not to guard against. In a similar
way reports had come in indicating
that Spanish torpedo boats might be
watching Tampa. Accordingly, the
gunboats Bancroft and Helena were
sent to protect Tampa. AS for Havana
it was perfectly feasible for Admiral
Sampson to leave that port with only
a small guard ID port, because Schley's
force made it impossible for the Span
ish fleet to approach it from the seat
of war, and if 1t anne in from the
west Sampson vas sure to intercept
it. Thus, with Havana still blockaded,
though at q distance, and with ample
ships taken to protect the naval base
at Key West and the army base at
tampa, Sampson sailed east. The
squadron moved along through the
Nicholas channel and finally at 2
o'clock wednesday morning was in
Bahama channel, between Pardon
and Lobos day lighthouse. Then
Sampson got word that the feet of
Spain had been bottled up, because
the fleet turned and steered westward
again. The Amphitrite was met In
tow of the Panther, and she, too,
turned and joined the homeward-
bound procession. The view taken OF
the meaning Of this is that the govern
ment al Washington is satisfied that
Schley can hold Cervera and that
steps will now be taken for the army
TO move"

st. Thomas, ID. w. L., May 30.-The
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror
is in the harbor of San Juan, Puerto
Rico. She is somewhat hampered by
her engines being slightly disabled.
Such occurrences are frequent in the
Spanish navy since the discharge of
the English and Scotch engineers. The
Spanish transports Alfonso XIII. left
San Juan Saturday, heavily provision
ed, ostensibly for M~ayaguez, on the
west coat of Puerto Rico. Shells from
American guns are now beig sold as
curios in San Juan. At least 500 OF
them were picked up, a large portion
Of them being u~nexploded.

CRITICAL AT SANTIAGO.

Lack of Food and the Arrival OF
Cervera without Supplies CaCses
Dissatisfaction.
Copyright, 1898, by Associated Press)
Port Au Prince, Haiti, May 3O.-Two
Italians who set out from Santiago de
Cuba in a small boat on Thursday,
May 10, and landed near Mole st.
Nicolas on the 22nd, arrived here,
bringing information al to the situa-
ton at Santiago.
The state Of affairs there is critical.
partially so because of the lack OF
food. A great many Of the unfortunate
people, especially the reconcentrados,
are dying of starvation.
The whole population is terribly dis
couraged and keenly DESTROYS Of pea'I.
The arrival of the squadron under
Cervera Cervera without food supplies
for the city deepened the general de-
spondncy. The squadron has disem-
barked 500 men. artillerymen and en-
gineers and landed 10000 rifles, a large
quantity of ammunition and four big
guns, restined for the Notifications.

Would be impossible from the entrance

which the entire harbor could be eX-

expression upon the news from
