ST. PAUL IN PORT
The Gallant Captain Sure Cervera'f
Fleet is in Santiago de
Cuba Bay.
SPANISH FORTS AS TARGETS
After Coaling and Provisioning the Swift
Ocean Greyhound Will Put to Sea
Again to Resume Scout Duty
in Cuban Waters.

New York, June 3.-The auxiliary
cruiser ST. Paul passed Sandy Hook this
morning bound for her dock. 1t is be-
lieved She has come for additional
armor, guns and supplies.
After visiting Commodore Bunce at
the navy yard, Captain Sigsbee relaxed
his reserve sufficiently to say: II had
target practice right along from the first
day arrived at Santiago de Cuba, May
20, and while none of my men have been
in the service long, am well satisfied
with their work at the guns. On the
s5th we captured the Restormel. | knew
the Spanards needed coal badly and
made every effort to see that they did
not get It. While off Santiago with
Commodore Schley Isaw two more Span
ish cruisers and Commodore Schley saw
two torpedo boats. There is no ques-
ton but they are bottled up tight as can
be in Santiago de Cuba harbor. L
went so close that / made sketches of
their Notifications, which am sending
to Washington.
Their guns could easily have reached
me, but the batteries made no attempt
to fire, for. what reason l do not
know. 1t may be the Spaniards did
not want to reveal their strength
and the location of their guns l am
going to Washington with dispatches
from the fleet. So soon as we have
coaled and provisioned we shall put to
sea again. This probably will not be
for three or four days. So soon as | ar
rived outside the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba there were indications of the
presence of Admiral Cervera's fleet on
the inside, beyond the hills. l hugged
the mouth of the harbOr so closely that
it would have been impossible for any
thing atloat to sneak out without our
seeing them. So soon as we arrived off
the harbor I announced my presence by
salute, taking as a target Spanish
fort.
The fort evidently did not accord me
the courtesy due in return, for it's guns
remained silent. During the time I was
at Santiago de Cuba, between May %
and May 30, Commander Schley came
and went several times, cruising a little
to the westward, but the st. Paul re-
mained off Santiago de Cuba harbor
eight days. On May % both CommO-
dore Schley and myself saw again posi-
tive evidences that the Spanish fleet
was still bottled up inside the Santiago
dc Cuba harbor When came up with
Commodore Schley's fleet we both
signalled the fact--Commodore Schley
to me and I to him.

Commodore Schley's official report of
the Santiago de Cuba fight was read at

is no reasonable doubt that Admiral
Cervera's fleet is inside the harbor; that
his firing was to develop the enemy's
batteries and was In that respect entire
ly satisfactory None of his vessels
were hit and there were no casualties on
our side.
There seems to be no doubt it is the
purpose of the government to push for

the military and naval movements
against Santiago de Cuba and Porto
Rico. The purpose is to make the
movement overwhelming in strength
and numbers, crush the enemy at every
point, and bring the war to speedy

cans is Succeeded by IA Panic.
Havana, April AFTER many days
of foolish confidence that nothing
would happen. number of people here
Americans and others-have been
plunged into equally foolish fears in
advance of the message of the presi-
dent to congress. People who should
know better insist that war has been
declared. Others are equally sure that
the pope has secured peace with honor.
Bankers with close American connec-
tions are packing their papers, collect
ing all possible debts. arranging for
guards for their vaults and sending
their families away. Cuban women,
with husbands. fathers or bDDthers in
the insurgent army are in state of
terror.
Consul General Lee says he has re-
ceived no instructions to leave Havana.
1t is reported, however, that some of
the consular records were sent north
by the Mascotte yesterday.
Some Spaniards talk wildly about
the United States fleet being blown
out of water by fire from the Havana
batteries on the water front, but as
careful practice two days ago showed
the inability of the gunners to come
within 100 yards of target on smooth
water at a range of two miles. naval
