SAMPSON SIGHTED.
His Flagship Left the BIockading Fleet
Going Eastward.

KEY WEST, May 26.-The Associated
Press dispatch boat Wanda has just
reached here with the following ad-
vices:
At daybreak on Sunday morning the
entire squadron under Rear Admiral
Sampson was lying directly opposite
the entrance to Havana harbor, about
10 miles off shore.
The commanding officers of the va
rious vessels held a conference on
board the flagship and shortly after
their departure the flagship steamed
away to the eastward.
A number Of vessels We're left be-
hind on blockade duty. About two
hours later a large doublemasted and
double -funnelled cruiser came steam
ing under full headway from the west
ward. When within hailing distance,
and without slackening her speed, she
exchanged signals with the acting flag
ship off Havana. A string of colored
bunting was hoisted aloft on the flag
ships halliards and the cruiser pushed
on to the east at full speed.
AfterWard the squadron was in the
Nicholas channel off Cardenas head
ing for the old Bahama channel. The
squadron was proceeding with care for
Admiral CerVera had not yet actually
been bottled and care must be taken
lest the fox turn and dash out of San
tiago, around the east end of Cuba, up
through the Windward passage and
north to attack the cities of the At
lantic coast of the United States.
In all likelihood Commodore Schley
will be able to spring the trap and then
Rear Admiral Sampson may hasten to
Santiago. A great game is being
played, and the situation is one of ex-
treme suspense. After Admiral Ger
vera is sealed up in Santiago harbor
the problem will be as in the case of
"varmint" caught in a trap, whether to
shoot or starve him. In any event Ad-
miral Carvera, it is believed, cannot
reach Havana Two powerful fleets,
each having fast vessels, as well as
heavy ones, and each able to destroy
him, are closing in upon him.
Naval officers here believe that the
battleship Oregon will be ordered to

FLEETS NOT HEARD FROM.
Admiral Cervera Still Believed Bottled

Admiral Cervera Still believed Bottled
Up at Santiago DE Cuba.
WASHINGTON, May 26-The navy
department announces that the situa-
ton as to the fleets, both American
and Spanish, is precisely as it was "a
hours ago, so far as the officials know,
the only notable differences being an
apparent strengthening of confidence
of the officials in their belief that Ger
veras squadron is lying in the Santi-
ago harbor. In this hope and belief
the officials find great comfort. know
ing the abilities of the American naval
commanders in Cuban waters to keep
the Spanish admiral bottled up in his
narrow neck harbor until he shall sur
render or be starved out.
If Cervera is actually at bay the off,
cials feel not the slightest apprehen-
sion of relief coming to him from the
outside in the shape of another Span
ish ship squadron from Cadiz. The
reason of this belief is their unques-
toned ability to hold Cervera in check
with only few vessels, perhaps a cou-
pie of monitors and torpedo boats, thus
leaving the remainder of the big ar
mored fleet and a great number of un-
armored but serviceabe war craft to
take care of any reinforcements that
might attempt to come from Spain to
Cervera's aid. The force that could be
spared for this service without endan-
gerng the integrity of the blockade at
Havana, or permitting the escape of
Cervera, would be much larger than
Spanish waters capable of crossing the

missionaries at Rotufunk when they
We're massacred by the insurgents en-
gagged in the uprising against the i'm

tragedy:
I'VE started to walk to Sierra Leone
but had only gone half mile when we
met war boys, who blocked the way
Rev. Mr. Cain tried to frighten them
by firing revolver over their heads
but seeing they were determined to do
mischief he cast his revolver away and
said he would not have anybodys blood
on his hands. The war BOYS then
seized the party and Misses Hatfield
Archer and Kent, stripped them of
their clothing, dragged them back to
the mission house, in front of which
the war boys cut down Rev. Mr.. Cain
and hacked him to death and then
treated Miss Archer and Miss Kent in
the same way. Miss Hatfield. who was
very i'll, was thrown on a barbed wire
netting, and finally her throat was cut
Mrs. Cain escaped to the bush with a
native girl, but the war boys went out
seeking for them and they were after

Those Recently Enlisted May Get u
Chance to Go to the Front.
ALBANY, May 26.-No plans have
been formulated as yet by the state mill
itary authorities as to how they will
raise New York states quota of volun-
teers under the second call No plans
will be formed until Governor Black
has received the detailed order from
the secretary of war informing him as
to exactly how many and what kind of
troops this state is to furnish 1t is es-
timated at the adjutant generals office
that this states share of the 10, 900 will
be something between 1000 and 5000
men,
The statement made by Secretary OF
War Alger, to the effect that the 75,-
900 troops called for would not be taken
from the National Guards, but from
open enlistment, was diagnosed by the
officials at the adjutant generals Office
as meaning that the governor of each
state was to be allowed to raise his
quota of volunteers as he wished.
If this reasoning is correct, Governor
Black will probably give those organ
izations of the National Guard that
have been recruited to take the place
of those who went away under the
first call, the first chance to volunteer
under this new call

STARTED FOR MANILA.
First American Army to Sail For a For
eign Port.

e1gn Fort.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 26-The
start was made for Manila late yester-
day afternoon and the first American
army to sail for a foreign shore is now
on the broad Pacific. At o'clock
Brigadier General Anderson sgnalled
from the Australia for the City of Pc
kin and the City of Sydney to get un-
der way. The signal was seen from
the shore and the waiting crowds COM
menced to Cheer wildly. The noise was
something terrific. Every steam whis-
tie in the city appeared to be blowing,
cannon were fired, and the din lasted
for fully an hour. AS the Australia
passed Alcatraz island, in the lead of
the other ships, the battery of United
States artillery stationed there fired
salute to General Anderson. The COL
ors were dipped in recognition and the
steamships sounded their sirens.
The three transports carried about
$500 men. The expedition, which Is
under command of Brigadier General
Anderson, consists of four companies
of regulars under command of Major
Robe; the First regiment California
volunteers, Colonel Smith; the First
regiment Oregon volunteers, Colonel
Summers: o battalion of so heavy ar
tillery Major Barry; about 100 sailors
and II naval officers.
The fleet is loaded with supplies to
last year, and carries a big cargo Of
ammunition and naval stores for Ad-
miral Dewey's fleet.
1t is not probable any more troops
will be dispatched before another week

NEW RECRUITS.
One Hundred and Twelve Thousand Have
Reen Mustered In.

Reen Mustered In.
WASHINGTON, May 26.-One hun
dred and twelve thousand men have
now been mustered into the volunteer
army of the United States and the
official reports show that the greatest
number of these are ready to move to
the front.
Over two-thirds of the states have
entirely completed their musters. The
failure of some of the states, notably
four or five of the Southern states, to
furnish the men called for up to this
time is ascribed to a belief probably
shared by many of the National
Guardsmen who had home ties and
business connections which they could
not we'll afford to give up, that plenty
of other persons not so encountered
would readily be found to take their
places. Should any of the states de-
fault the probability is that the fact
will be reported to congress by the
secretary of war for action.

HAWAII ANNEXATION.
An Agreement by Which 1t VIII Not
se Pressed In the Senate.

tSe ifesSeu In the Senate.
WASHINGTON, May 26-The ac-
tive opponents of Hawaiian annexa-
tion in the senate, it is learned, agreed
to the arrangement for daily sessions
of the senate beginning at IL o'clock
only after an understanding with a
number of Republican senators that
the Hawaiian annexation question
should not be earnestly pressed in the
senate in any form at this session.
Democratic senators were appealed to
to expedite consideration of the rev.
enue bill and as a counter proposition
asked that Hawaiian annexation be
dropped. No party arrangement re-
suited from these propositions, the Re-
publicans being disnclned as a party
to let the Hawaiian issue go over, but
a number of Republican senators gave
assurances that Hawaiian legislation
should not be seriously pressed at this
session. These assurances, Democratic
senators hostile to annexation say, are
sufficiently numerous to warrant them
in believing an adjournment of con-
gress will be taken without action by
the senate on Hawaii. 1t is expected
that the war revenue bill will be a
law before very long and today there
was considerable talk of congressional
adjourning early next month.
The course of the house on Hawaiian
annexation is a matter of considerable
doubt The advocates of Hawaiian an
nexation say Republican caucus of the
house on that issue will soon be held.
A sufficient number of members for
calling a caucus have subscribed to a
paper now in the hands of Represent
ative Grosvenor of Ohio, chairman of
The caucus committee.
