Spaniards Say Americans Cannot

spaniards Say Americans Cannot
Land on the Shores of Matanz:is
Bay.
Madrid, May 1. - In official circles
it is not believed the Americans can
effect a landing on the shores of Ma
tanzas Bay as the bay is full of tor
pedoes. The reports cabled from Wash
ington respecting the movments of the
American army and fleet are consid.
cred as intended to hoodwink the Span
ish government. The latest dispatches
from Havana say it was the American
warship Montgomery which went
ashore off the coast of the Pinar del
Rio and that she grounded Oh the rocks
near Colonados. J' sf--@
According to these dispatches three
other waiships succeeded in floating
her, but the Montgomery is badly dam
aged.
There are great rejoicings in Havana
at what is described as "the American
repulse at Matanzas." 1t is not be-
lieved that the United States warships
will venture to attack Manila.
