of the signal department was in con-
versation with him. II was learned af-
terward that Gen. Greeley assigned
Lieut.. Maxtleld to the duty of cxercis-
Ing censorship for the government over
the cable to Haiti. THIS fact, In connec-
ton with the report that an invasion OF
Puerto Rico Is contemplated as well
as of Cuba. was regarded as extremely
significant in army circles, 1t was said
by an officer: at looks as II the plac-
ing OF censor over the Haitian cable,
which leads to Puerto Rico, mean n
blow at the Spaniards through Puerto
Rico as well as through Cuba. The
seizure of the Spaniards base OF sup
plies at Puerto Rico before the Span
ish fleet arrives would do more to kill
their operations on this side of the
ocean than anything else that could be
done. The preparations to transport
troops to Tampa means that the actual
invasion OF the Spanish possessions is
not TO be put off until after the rainy
season.

WARSHIPS' FIRSTBRUSH.
Between The Little Torpedo Boa, fooIe and
Small Spanish Gunboats.
BLANco REPORTS A SPANISH VICTORY,


London, April 3o.-A dispatch from
Madrid says 1t is announced there in an
official dispatch from Havana that
he Spanish gunboat Ligeria has again
been engaged with an American tor
pedo boat off Cardenas. The dis
patch adds that the american boat
fired twenty shots. All went wide.

stay of the gunboat The fire OF the
Ligeria was so well sustained that the

SPANISH RUN AWAY.
New York, April S0.-The torpedo boat
Foote under command of Lieutenant
Rogers, had an interesting though not
serious exchange of compliments with
day, says the Key West correspond
ent of the. Herald.
Accounts brought In by the officers
of the Puritan, now here coaling. say
that the monitor Terror lay some
miles off Cardenas on Sunday after
noon, at half past o'clock. When
the officers in the mess room heard the
shots they ran on deck and saw the
torpedo boat Foote, lying well in to-
ward Cardenas.
About n mile and half nearer
shore and close to the mouth OF the
harbor their glasses revealed two
small Spanish gunboats sneakng
along and hugging the coast. Lieut.
Rogers had seen them, and as he af-
forwards explained to the Terror's Of
ficers, he decided to have some fun
with them, though the range was
rather long for serious execution.
The Foote opened fire with her one
FOUNDER guns, and Lieutenant Quail
trough of the Terror thinks one of the
Spaniards was hit by one shot, but
he is not certain.
Both the Spanish gunboats re-
turned the Foote's fire without hest
tation. Lieut.. Rogers then steamed
in toward them firing again as he ad-
vanced.
The Spaniards replied with few
more shots all of which went wide OF
their mark and then, apparently no,
liking the Foote'S RAPID advance. they
turned and Steamed back into Cardenas
harbor.

New York, April 30.-Senor Quesada,
representative of the Cuban junta in
Washington, has received a letter from
Gen. Gomez, written on April nth,
before the action of Congress on the
Cuban resolution, says washington
correspondent of the Herald. 1t in
dicates the Cuban general was then
confident of winning, although he had
no assurance of the assistance of the
United States. In this letter General
Gomez says:
Spain IL badly off automatically,
but her situation Is even worse here.
where she is trying to keep up a
campaign in which she IL losing with
out any result whatever, many men
and many millions OF dollars. She
cannot afford to lose either the one or
the other.
Cuba has reason to expect the eff

which love liberty. and above all. of
those which In America defend 1t. and
for that reason we consider the moral
aid given us by the United States a
logical consequence of its greatness
and political independence.

Phantom Fights and Victories Cause Span
iards to Feel Confident of Winning.

New York, April 3O.-The city is on
the tip toe OF expectancy for news of
an engagement off the Philippines.
which 1t is felt cannot be long delayed.
AYERS the Madrid correspondent of the
Herald.
Indeed. rumors have been current
since about o'clock that the fleets
have already met, that the Spaniards
have defeated the Americans and three
American vessels have been sunk. No
official information has been received
yet, nor can the rumor be traced to
its foundation.
A most notable change has taken
place in public opinion within the last
couple OF days. Before. people were
lantly; now they are confident that
Spain will win. The Correspondence
says tonight: Spain fears the con-
fiict less and less every day"
This really epitomizes the state of
the public mind.
It is due To the accounts received
from the American correspondents OF
anarchy as reigning In the United
States. The naval and military con-
ferences are shown as changing their
ideas about the plan TO be followed
every day They describe American
ships as hopelessly mishandled and the
alleged encounter between the Ligera
and the Cushing becomes a great
Spanish victory, How much truth there
Is in these reports It is impossible To
find out. as no others are allowed to
enter.
The hope. too, that the powers may
yet take hand In the matter, begins
TO be re-entertained, owing to the re-
port that Germany has announced that
she Will allow American troops to land
in the Philippines but will oppose a
bombardment on account of her COM
mercial interests there.

THE BATTLE MAY Be OVER
British at Singapore Think There Has Been a
Fight at Manila.


New York. April 30.--A dispatch to
the world from Singapore says:
The naval battle between the United
stats and Spanish fleets may have been
fought off the Philippine Islands, it is
thought here.
The deepest interest in the result of
1t is felt in this British colony.
Admiral Montejo, the Spanish COM
mander. has only three effective fight
ing ships among the large number un-
der his command. These are the single
screw second class cruiser Reina Chris
tina OF 5000 tons, and the single screw
third class unprotected cruiser Don
Antonio de Ullos and Don Juan Austria
of 1900 tons each. The rest Of the
fleet Will be of little fighting value In
combat with the modern vessels of the
United States squadron.
The truth regarding the battle is not
likely to be known until Commodore
Dewey, the American commander, gets
control of the cables at the Philippine
Islands. All telegraph messages from
there now are vigilantly watched and
vigorously censored by the Spanish off
Gals.
Commodore Dewey has with him on
the flagship Olympia for consultation
a former Philippine rebel general, Jose
Alexandrino Cor OleJandro). This Off
Ger Is the son of wealthy and infiu-
entail sugar planter of Arayal. Pam
panga province. The father was taken
from his estate by the Spanish and de-
ported because he had been denounced
by the priests as a rebel. He died from
the exposure and privations OF which
he was subjected on the road. having
been compelled to travel while he was
critically Ill.
Commodore Dewey. was educated in
Belgium as a civil engineer and took
a leading part In the late rebellion.
He will be of great assistance to
Commodore Dewey. Moreover, the
knowledge that he is with the American
squadron VIII encourage the natives
ashore 10 revolt.
Gen. Aguinaldo. the head OF the in
surrection, whose name is a talisman
among the native people, will take an
active part himself soon in organizing
and directing military operations on
the islands
His efforts will tell in aiding the
American commanders operations at
sea and in liberating the Philippines
from Spanish misrule.
1t would be premature for me to tell
at this time what his plans are for
future movements and action in the
war.
Gen. Aguinaldo had a private conf
dental interview a short time ago with
the editor OF the Singapore Free Press
in the office of the Journal. His disap-
pearance from HongkOng having been
reported to the Spanish consul here,

THAT is IF 1T COMES WEST.
DAMAGE TO THE FAMOUS fLoTlLlA.
Two Damaged In Collision
Notes of War.

Washington. d. c.. April 30.-A
cablegram was received here this morn
Ing stating that the Spanish torpedo
boats Azore, Rayo and Arcle had sailed
this mornign from ST.. Vincent, Cape
Verde Islands, for the Canaries. The
Azore and Rayo. the cable said. were
towed by the transport San Francisco
and Ciudad Cadiz.
The fact that the two torpedo boats
were in tow of transports. naval off,
GERS regarded as n sign that the col
llsion which those vessels are reported
to have had yesterday. the machinery
of the boats was disabled beyond the
possibility of repair at st. Vincent. 1t
Is by no means u safe undertaking to
tow u torpedo boat that long distance
between Cape Verde and the Canary
islands. and 1t would not surprise naval
officers II one or more of the little
boats were missing when the remain
der OF the small fleet arrived at the
Canaries.
Anxiety Is felt as to the destination
of the more formidable part of the
Spanish fleet that has sailed westward
from Cape Verde. If they are headed
for Cuba the navy department calcu-
lates that they are likely to reach
Porto Rico about May I.
1t Is not to be expected, however,
that the arrival at Spanish ports would
| be made public by the Spanish author
tiles controlling the cable, and suppos-
| Ing that they are not detected by any
of the United States naval vessels,
| which will possibly be thrown out as
| scouts. The first news of the arrival of
the fleet On this side IL likelyito be con-
veyed by some neutral vessel trading
between Porto Rico and an outside
| port. =,
The strategy involved in4the Spanish
| movement is rather puzzllng to the ma
| val officers. Assuming that the four
| cruisers have actually started to Cuba
| II would seem that II they arrive at
| Porto Rico they would be in imminent
| danger of capture or destruction at the
| hands of Admiral Simpsons squadron,
which is unquestionably superior in Of
| fensive power. In other words, the four
cruisers would be situated just as were
| the Oquendo and the Vizcaya before the
| outbreak of hostilities when they pru-
IDENTIFY fed from the port OF Havana.
II was reported in department cir
cles today that the flying squadron
was about to sail from Fortress Mon
| roe,
Tho officials refused to affirm or
deny the correctness of this statement.
but 1t Is assumed that II the report IL
true the vessels are 20 be used as
scouts to detect the approach Of the
Spanish vessels. 1t is not expected
that in case the armored ships were
sighted by Commodore Schley an en-
gagement would be attempted unless
the circumstances were peculiarly fav-
orable, for he has but two armored
ships in his squadron to pit against
the four heavily armored Spanish ves-
sells He would. however, be able to
hang on the flank of the Spanish
squadron and annoy them greatly
while rushing ahead one of his flyers
the Columbia or Minneapolis, to warn
Admiral Sampson, and secure REIN
foNements In the shape OF a battlcship
that would insure victory In action.
