Landing of Troops I'm Cuba Delayed.

Washington: A complete change has
taken place in the offensive plans of
the government. The presence of the
Spanish fleet in the vicinity of Cuba
has caused delay in the departure of
the army of Cuban invasion until Ad-
miral Sampson and and Commander
Schley have met and crushed the Span
waters.

THE SPANISH FLEET ARRIVES.
Only Required "a Few Rounds from the
United State Fleet to Place the City
in Defeuceless Condition Small
Damage to SIMPSONS Fleet.

Port Au Prince, Haiti: The American
fleet, under Rear Admiral Sampson, be-
gan the compartment of San Juan de
Porto Rico at daylight with nine war
ships, The battleship Iowa fred the
first shot which took effect Then the
battleship Indiana opened fire; in few
minutes MORO fort was reduced to a
heap of ruins. The fort made little
effort to respond and was silenced al
most immediately.
The Iowa, Indiana, New York, Ter
ron, Amphritrite and Detroit had
steamed in before the Spanish forts
and opened fire. Twenty or thirty guns
replied. The fleets first round was
aimed too low and did little damage
In the second. however SIMPSONS ships
got the proper elevation for their guns
This round silenced MORO fort and
fred the town. The Spaniards in the
Notifications were driven from their
guns repeatedly before the works were
finally reduced. The fire from the De-
troit was excellent at all times and
though she went closer to the forts
than the other ships, not a shot hit
her. During the bombardment the
torpedo boat Porter, which had been
on scouting trip after the Spanish
Cape Verde fleet, arrived and daringly
steamed in close to the forts and poured
in a terrible fire.
Admiral Sampson then directed
the attention of the ships to the
land batteries. Soon the postoffice and
governors palace were demolished and
the guns in the forts dismounted, and
fire from the small guns made it so hot
that the Spaniards were forced to run
or keep under cover. Gov. Zen. Macris
and his daughter Paulina refused to
desert the city until the ruin was al
most complete.
The forts fired hundreds of shots but
only hit the New York once. That
killed Seaman Frank Widemarlx, broke
the leg of Samuel Feltman and slightly
injured three other seamen. The bat
tleShip Iowa was hit once and Marine
NJ. G. Merkle, Seamen K. C. Hill and
John Mitchell were slightly wounded.
These were the only casualties on the
ships of the American fleet.
The bombardment reduced the forti-
fications in three hours. Reports say
that the bombardment created fearful
havoc in the city. Many Spaniards
were killed and wounded
The Spanish steamer Rita was can
tured by the u. S. auxiliary cruiser Yale,
which took her crew on board. Thou
sands Of the population and the foreign
consuls sought refuge in the interior
of the island.
Admiral Sampson sent word in adj
vance that he intended To bombard the
Notifications. in order TO give the men,
women and non.combatants time to
get away.

and who had been SO Intimately and
satisfactorily associated. At 9 O'Clock
| there was a halt in the dancing and a
presentation was made to Mr.. and Mrs
| Lowrie. The gift was a very large and
| handsomely bound album with about
one hundred group pictures and EVA
plantation views. This was the address
by ID. B. Murdoch:
AS one,of the oldest employees on the
| Eva plantation / have been called up
on to present to you a small token of
! the good Will of those who are gath
cred round you this evening. We are
| met together to pass few hours pleas
| antly and to make merry, but l feel
sure that the feelings OF all at the
pro sent time are OF very mixed
nature. On the one hand we all feel
deep regret that the time has come
when you and your good family are
about to bid farewell to the place and
people who have known you so long.
We have often in the past met to-
gether thus to pass a happy evening.
| and the recollection of the kindness OF
yourself and Mrs. Lowrie will ever be
| of the most pleasant nature.
On the other hand this is an ocoa-
sion when we feel that we can rejoice
with you that your career at Eva
plantation has been crowned with sue
| cess-you have won great honor and
we wish you to feel that you have our
heartiest congratulations for the past
| and our very best wishes for continued
| success in the future.
There is a General of the British
army who is, at this time, the recipient
| of the highest honors and the gener-
Gus gifts of the British nation. Men
| Of every nationality are agreed that he
has richly deserved his honors. Cen
eral Kitchener won his glory at Khar-
| toum by no haphaZard stroke of good
| fortune-it was the result of years OF
| inceSsant toll. He took the raw
Egyptian troops who had been driven
| from the SOudan by the dervishes and
perfected an armed force which has
| won the admiration of the world.
And so | believe we can say OF ouI
general, who is about to leave his helC
for new scenes of conquest-incessan
Rbor and. attention to details have
been his delight. He never seemed u
have a lazy fit, even on the coldes
mornings. but was round and abOu

Whilst it is true there are larg
tracts of splendid soil at Eva whicl
have given immense crops, those VIII
know the place best are we'll awar
that there are many acres OF lan'
enough to break the heart Of an.
