A BATTLE.
The Navy Department Convinced That an
Engagement Took Place Between
sampson and Cervera.

WASHINGTON, May 24.-Thc navy de-
partment is convinced that Sampson
met Cervera Monday Members OF
the war board, as early as 10 o'clock
Monday morning, were quizzing
newspaper men as to any informa.
tion they might Lave on this sub
ject. The continued reports from
Port de Paix that heavy cannonading
has been heard of the northwest coast
of Hayti have, for that reason, more
than ordinary significance.
The state department, through its
confidential agents, has received in.
formation that the Spanish squadron
does not present so formidable power
of resistance TO attack as has been
commonly supposed.
A naval official made statement
Monday that the speed of the Spanish
ships, sailing in squadron. does not
exceed ten knots. Should this prove
TO be true. Cervera would be an easy
victim 10 Sampson.

NEW YORK. May 23.-A srccial TO

The intention of the war depart

was sufficiently indicated by the steps
taken Saturday for the speedy mobili-
cation and equipment OF the immune

grcSS last week. This law which em-
powers the president To organize an al
ditional volunteer force not exceeding
l0,c coo enlisted men, possessing i'm.
munity from the diseases incident TO
tropical climates" will be Immediately
put into effect by the formation of six
regiments Of nearly 1000 men each,
TO be recruited in the gulf states. AS
surances from that section are to the
effect that theSa men ar, practically
ready for mastering in and are
awaiting equipment Nearly all Of
them have had militarI train
ing, and confidence is expressed that
they can be made ready for active ser
vice within ten days 1t is significant
that II immuncs are needed at all in
the Cuban campaign they are especially
adapted for service there in the immc-
date future, and that if the campa IN
was to be abandoned until fall there
would be no need To raiss this force
hurricdly in the month Of May.

unsatisfactory replies
As the story went that the American
steamer had been picked up by a big
Spanish cruiser off the southern Cuban
coast, il was supposed she had been

cut it and cut off the Spaniards from
Madrid. She was especially equip

after she had acted as sort OF dis

surgent general, Nestor Aranguren,
Sunday received letters from Havana,
via Vera Cruz, dated May :, stating
that Gen. Blanco's orders impressing
all Cubans into the Spanish army has
had the effect of driving many into the
insurgents ranks.
A. Betancourt, an American citizen,
and Gonzales Arrange, the letter states,
have been arrested and confined in the
Cabanas fortress on charges of aiding
the insurgents
The destitution in Havana is fright
full and is increasing. The grocers,
all OF whom are Spaniards, refused alb
soiutcly to sell food to the Cubans. as
if determined to starve them. The
Cubans say the Spaniards hate them
more than they do the Americans.
Senor Aranguren's correspondents
declare that the Spaniards realize that
Cuba is lost, but that before yielding
the island they will endeavor to e,,.

bay the soldiers gathered on the beach
to bid her bon voyage. They lined the
beach for mile and cheer upon cheer

Dewey's triumph. The Charleston's
big siren answered the boys on the
