New YORK, May ia dispatch to

Capt Gen. Macias and the govern

people, the authorities are fearful OF
another disastrous onslaught by Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS squadron, and are
hoping that Admiral Cervera will put.
In an appearance in the harbor.
Inquiries are made here from San,
Juan as to the probable location of the
Spanish warships, and the disquieting
news has been sent to Capt. Gen. Macias,
that the fleet is far away from the
troubled capital.
Macias sends word that he was vic
torious in the engagement with Samp.
son, that his loss in soldiers was
trihing, that few civilians were
killed and only two guns were dis.
mounted.
The American ships, he declares,
withdrew under a fire that was main
tanned until they were out of range
The damage to his new battery was re-
paired over night, and the brick and
mortar of the ancient stone fortitica-.
tions were merely shaken up.
The band played in the plaza the
night after the bombardment, he de-
clares, and the people gradually recov--
cred from their fright and the bad eff
fects of the bombardment. The APP
parent retreat of the Americans
feet cheered the volunteers. Before
the battle, a large portion of the citi-
zeEs soldiery was disaffected and
awaited an opportunity to revolt.
They now believe that the Americans
were defeated
