Hong Kong.-The Americans have
captured ,ne Spanish gunboat Lyetc,
which was attempting TO run de-
spatches into Iloilo.
a steamer is reported to have landed
six thousand rides at Cayite for the
use of the insurgents.
The Spaniards have offered 5000
reward for the head of Aguinaldo, the
insurgent leader.
The Spaniards at Manila are work
ing upon the fortiiications, but their
guns are old and useless and they are
short OF ammunition. Rear Admiral
Dewey has informed the authorities
at Manila that he will hold them re-
sponsible for the life of the captain. of
the Spanish gunboat Caliao, captured
by the United States fleet. The Span
iards have been threatening to shoot
him for surrendering, although con-
fronted by the whole American fleet.

ing the army.

The general scope of the new policy
was developed to-day when the Presl-
dent directed the enlargement of the
lan1 force of the nation to more than
quarter of II million lighting men
and issued orders for the future
guidance of the commanders OF Uu.n
land and naval forces, the details of
which for obvious reasons cannot be
disclosed. 1t can be stated in a gen
eral way, however, that the pro-
gram of the administration contem-
plates these operations:
l. The destruction of the Spanish
war fleet in Cuban waters, or any
other fleet Spain may send over to
fight.
2 The invasion of Cuba and Porto
Rico as soon as the way has been
made clear for the safe transport of
American troops to those islands
3. The occupation of the Philip
pines by an army three times as great
as that first intended for that service.
4. The adoption of offensive meas
ures in both Cuba and Porto Rico and
the unrelenting prosecution of the war
until the Spanish government has re-
called its armed forces or the Ameri-
can troops have driven them out or
destroyed them.
3. The ending of the war before the
end of summer.
The plans indicate in the most un-
mistakable manner the determination
of the President TO adopt the most
aggressive means that a great army
and efficient naval force can inau-
gurate. All plans are in measure
contingent upon the operations of the
fleets. News OF an engagement is
momentarily expected. The President
expects Admiral Sampson to obey his
instructions to find and destroy the
Spanish feet. He tonight expressed
the belief that meeting is bound to
take place soon.
Il guess we will hear from Sampson
soon" he said to one of mis- advisers.
''lf the Spanish admiral were in San
tiago Bay we should have known the
result by this time. The only way |
can explain the silence of Sampson
is that he wants to finish his work
before reporting to the Department"

E Washington, May 3l.--At last it is def
nitely known that Admiral Cervera and the
Cape Verd fleet are safely bottled up in
Santiago Harbor.
The definite location of the Spanish fleet
was not known until an early hour this
morning, when the following bulletin was
posted at the Navy Department: "Commo-
dore Schley has cabled that he has seen the
enemy i'll Santiago Harhor."
The message was brief and contained lit.
tie more than the mere announcement that
Cervera was in Santiago.
1t is supposed that one of his officers
slipped into the bay in a small boat at night
There is a chance Cervera may 90 out in
the open and give Schley fight But it is
thought hardly probable unless he is forced
to il.
The authorities are anxiously awaiting
more news from Schley. A second mes
sage is expected some time to-day.

Pompton Lakes, n. J.-At 10 o'clock
this morning the battalion of the Sec
ond Regiment of Pennsylvania ell
camped here was relieved by the First
Battalion of the New Jersey Third
Regiment, which arrived here just
before daylight this morning. The
change was made in u drenchlng rain.
The Pennsylvanians went away
boasting that they have the distinc-
ton of being the first volunteers to
see actual service, and with truth
they say they were the first to smell
powder. Indeed, they have smelled
so much powder that they have be-
come used to it. 1t is not known how
long the Jerseymen will be stationed
here. The fact that a permanent
oven of large capacity has been built
indicates that troops will remain here
for some time.

Tampa, Fla.-Major w. d. Smith,
formerly of Gomez's staff and now in
the SERVICE of the United States, re-
turned this afternoon from secret
visit to Havana. He was in the city
five hours and in the province forty
eight hours.
He reports that the Spaniards have
provisions enough in Havana to stand
a siege of six months and that they
have an army of 100000 well-trained
men assembled in Havana and Ma
tanzas and fully 10000 patrolling the
northern coast. He believes it would
be foolish for the American Govern
ment to send an expedition of less
than $4,000 men to Cuba.
The Spaniards are eager for cam
paign against the American troops,
and are confident of annihilating any
small army sent against rnem.

Berlin, Germany.-An- evidently in
spired article in the Post says; sit is de-
clared semi-ot1icially that the recent rumors
as to the transfer of the Philippine Islands
to France or to Germany, or to their par
tition among the European powers with in
terests in the far East, have no foundation
whatever. America is not yet in possess
sion, it is true, and it is quite possible she
may never occupy them. But any laying
of hands on the islands at present would be
a hostile act against America, nor would it
be tolerated by the other Eropean powers
having interests there" This utterance
may be taken as explicit proof that the
Continental powers have come to an agree
ment on the subject to await further action
by America.

PROTESTED AGAINST ACTION

Washington, November 28-The navy de-
partment today published through the off
of Naval Intelligence the 'views" of Ad-
miral Cervera regarding the Spanish navy
in the late war. Captain Glover, the chief
intelligence officer, explains that this is a
reprint of number of letters published in
La Epoca of Madrid, on the 5th of the
present month. The letters are dated from
before the war up to May D. They were
written by Cervera in protest against Spain
rushing into war in the face of certain de-
feat due to the naval strength of the United
States and the unpreparedness of the Span
is navy. Cervera writes:
~ ask myself If 1t is right for me to keep
silent and thereby make myself an accom-
plice in adventures which will surely cause
tn total ruin of Spain. And for what pur-
pose? To defend an island which was ours,
but belongs to us no more; because ours
if we should not lose it. by right in the war
we have lost it, in fact, and with all its
wealth and an enormous number of young
men, victims of the climate and bullets, in
defense of what is now no more than a
romantic idea. Furthermore, believe that
this opinion of mine should be known to the
queen and to the whole council of ministers
l have deemed it my duty to express my
opinions to the proper authorities clearly
and without beating about the bush. Now,
let orders be given to me; will carry them
out with energy and decision; am ready
for the worst"
The admiral refers to the Spanish Pacific
lorce as not able to afford a shadow of
resistance to the American naval force.
Further on he speaks of the war as at last
in sight and laments the incomplete state
of the Spanish vessels. But, after all, he
says he is glad the end is coming and pre-
pared to do his duty. He is on record as
protesting against the idea of sending the
little torpedo boat fotilla to Cuba, point
ing out that naval defeat for Spain would
precipitate the loss of Cuba. He speaks of
the surprise and astonisment experienced
by all the officers of his squadron on receiv-
ing orders from Spain to sail from Cape
Verde for Cuba. inasmuch as they had
united in pointing out tho condition of the
ships. Says the lmirsi:
with an easy conscience 7 go to this ssc-
rifice, but / cannot understand that de-
cision of the navy general officers against
my opinions"

FEARS EOR THE PORTLAND

Boston, November est is known defin-
itely tonight that more than seventy lives
have been lost in the wrecks of tugs,
schooners and coal barges during the storm
of Saturday night and Sunday morning and
if the steamer Portland has also gone
down, as now seems possible the list of cas-
ualties will rise to 40 with over 100 vessels
of all descriptions ashore, two score of
them total wrecks and an unknown number
probably beneath the waves of Massachu-
setts bay.
There is SCARCELY a bay, harbor or inlet
from the Penobscot to New London that
has not on its shores the bones of some
staunch craft while along Massachusetts
bay and especially Boston harbor the
beaches are piled high with the wreckage
of schooners and coal barges. The record,
although hourly lengthening is still incom-
pete for that ocean graveyard of Cape Cod
is still to be heard from.
The annoyance and inconvenience of the
railroad and street car embargo covering
the whole of Southern New England sunk
into insignificance before the story of de-
struction wrought by wind and wave, yet it
will be many day before the full import of
the disaster is known or even realized.
The Islands of Boston harbor are without
exception strewn with wrecks and wreck
age, no less than 20 vessels are ashore at
Gloucester; over twenty in the supposed
safe harbor of Vineyard Haven parted their
anchor chains yesterday and are high and
dry on the beach; Nantuket beach saw two
schooners and a coal barge dashed to pieces
on its sands; the rocks of Cohasset claimed
a staunch fisherman; Scituate. a we'll
known pilot boat; Manchester, down-east
lumberman, while one tug and three barges
known to have blown on Cape Cod and
Boston are probably lost. The upper har-
bors of Boston, Plymouth. Salem, Ports
mouth, Portland anu other places, where
vessels were supposed to be comparatively
safe, were the scenes of numerous collisions
between the ships and the wharves.
Every life-saving crew performed deeds
of heroism in rescuing crews from stranded
vessels, and tugboat captains risked life
and property in their endeavor to save life.
