ing to the Navy Department..
Washington, July $50 far as the
navy department knows the Cadiz

their course and is steadily pressing
the arrangements for the dispatch to

and Slight Repairs.

and Slight ReDN1Fs.
New York, July 3.-The st. Paul has
arrived in port and anchored off Temp
kinsville. She left Mole st. Nicholas
early last Tuesday and has come here
for coal, ammunition and stores, also
to have some slight repairs to her star
board engine. Capt. Sigsbee and the
officers were absolutely inaccessible to
press representatives. Considerable
information was obtained nevertheless
from copy of the ST. PauFs war
budget, the oracle of the ship, which
was obtained. The st. Pauls great
exploit on her last trip was the dis
aiding of the Spanish torpedo boat
destroyer Terror off San Juan, the ac-
count of which occupies the first place
on the first page.

The Spanish numbered 1,300. They
delivered determined attack on the
insurgents at Malate. The latter met
them with a we'll directed fire, but the
Spaniards were reinforced and the in

insurgents made a spirited rally and
poured such steady fire into the
Spanish ranks that the latter were
compelled to retreat and failed to sum-
mon up courage to renew the attempt.
