1t is believed that Admiral Cervera
contemplated making dash out of the
harbor late tonight. Four columns ot
smoke We're seen at sundown advancing
toward the mouth of the harbor, and
two small boats, believed to be torpedo
boat destroyers, were observed in The
nedghborhood of the sunken collier Mer-
rimac. Consequently Rear Admiral
Sampson ordered extra precautions TO
be taken. The torpedo boats Ericsson
and Porter stood very close into the
harbor all night, but no ships came
out.
Shortly after midnight the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius fired three guncotton
shells in the direction of Morro Castle.
They exploded ON the ridge behind the
eastern hills. The damage done is not

AMERICAN BRAVERY.
Comment Of British Press on tho
Battle of La Quasina.

LONDON, June 27.-The afternoon
newspapers here comment upon the
battle of La Quasina in the same strain
as the morning papers, praising the
bravery of the American soldiers and
condemning the tactics which permit
ted them to be ambushed.
The Westminster Gazette" says il
thinks the serious part of the fighting
has only begun, and adds: 1T is a
pity that so many brave men must fall
on both sides before Spain sues for
peace"
The story of Edward Marshall, cor
respondent of the New York journal

the fight for his newspaper while NOR

comments. The westminster Gazette

THE MOVE ON SPAIN.
Regarded at Madrid as Proof That

LONDON, June 2S.-Tyhe Madrid cor
respondent of the Times says:
The threats to send a squadron to
Spain, as reported from the United

the American Government is sriously
alarmed at the prospect of Admiral Ca
mara appearing in the neighborhood OF
Manila. 1t is argued that II the United

for the usages of civilized warfare as
to lombard small open towns. America
might kill a few peaceful inhabitants

merely serve to infiame the war spirit
of the Spaniards.
AS for the fortified cities, experience
in Cuba and Porto Rico has shown
that the fire of men-of-war makes but
little impression, and America would
find it much harder to maintain a fleet
off the coast of the peninsula than at
landing of any considerable armed force

is out of the question, because that
is precisely what the Spaniards would
like. Such are the views commonly
entertained here.
