SPANISH WAR SHIPS AROUND,
A Night of Excitement at Fort Monroe
Quarters Sounded and Every
Preparation Made.

NEWPORT News, Va, June II, 2 a. m.
"A dispatch just received from Fort
Monroe says:
Intense excitement was caused at
Fort Monroe last night shortly after
nine o'clock by dispatch received
from the signal station at Cape Henry,
stating that Spanish war ships We're
lurking in that vicinity.
"A short while later message was
received from Washington instructing
the commandant of the fort to be ON
the alert.
Reports as to the number of ships
seen were conflicting.
A lieutenant who was seen after mid
night said he had been informed that a
Spanish battleship, two cruisers and q
torpedo boat haG been caught under
the searchlight of Cape Henry, steam
ing from northerly direction.
AS soon as it was reported that the
enemy's war ships had been sighted
there was great activity at the fort.
across the bay and signals were
flashed to the cruiser Minneapolis,
auxiliary cruiser Dixie and dynamite
cruiser Buffalo, which are anchored of
Old Point.
Quarters were sounded and the crews
hastily prepared the ships for action.
The gunners took positions at their
posts where they were ordered to re.
main during the night. The ships
searchlights were kept playing on the
waters.
I'm the fort ammunition was hur.
ried to the big guns and troops ordered
to their posts. Some of the officers
were with their families at the hotels,
and buglers were dispatched for
them. The men scurried out of the no.
tells, half dressed, and fastened to the
fort. In the camp of the Maryland
troops orders were given for the men
to sleep in their clothes, with their
guns close by"
A dispatch that came from Washing
ton stating that one of the vessels
seen was probably German freighter,
had a tendency to allay the excitement
among the guests at the hotels, but
the officers did not relax their vigil,

What Sampson Gains by Controlling the

Dragged for Mines and Found None.

and operators on board, and direct
communication with Washington will
soon be established. The distance
overland to Santiago around the bay is
about so miles, and the roads have
been rendered impossible by the Gu
bans under Pedro Peres.
The first division of the Cuban army
claims to have 1000 men, but these
figures are probably over-estimated.
The Cabans believe there are about
$500 soldiers in the vicinity of Cal
manera, which lies at the entrance
to the inner harbor. Guantanamo
city is inland about Is miles.
The two har bors are con-
nected by narrow channel. 1t is
the outer harbor which Admiral Samp-
son now holds with the Marbleheao,
the Yosemite and the Vixen, and with
a battalion of marines on the crest of a
blunt-topped eminence commanding
the western side. In the inner har-
Dor are two small Spanish gunboats,
and at Caimanara there is battery.
An expedition of three steam
launches, differed by Lieut.. Norman,
Ensign Eustis, 1on of Mr.. James ID.
Eustis, former United States ambas-
sador to France, and Cadet G. Evan
Gordon, under Lieut.. Anderson, of the
cruiser Marblehead, last night dragged
for mines but found none.
Lieut.. Anderson, who distinguished
himself at Cienfuegos, pulled a dingy
within so yards of the fort without
being discovered. He found the fort
to consist of masonry with three guns
mounted seaward.
Judging from the panic in which the
Spaniards fled from the village at
Fisherman's Point, they will scatter at
the first approach. They left at Fish
erman,s Point three Anticipated howitz-
ers, several cases of ammunition, shell
and canister, some Mauser rifles and
regimental flag of the Infantoria del
Principe.
Every precaution has been taken to
guard the men from disease.
The marines are well equipped for
the campaign. The camp will proba-
bly, be named Camp McCalla, after the
commander of the Marblehead, who is
interchangeable and has not removed his
clothing since the bombardment.
A steamer from Halifax was cap
tured yesterday. Her commander was
surprised, but he retained enough COM
posure to dip his flag three times and
then started to lenve. A shot across
his bows from the Marblehead stopped
him and the vessel was boarded, her
papers showing thai she was bound for
Jamaica. The captain was cautioned

REFUSED WITH HEAVY LOSS.
Spanish Attack Upon American marines
at Entrance to Guantanamo bay
Results Disastrously.

UNITED STATES CAMP, ENTRANCE OF
GUANTANAMO BAY, Sunday, June IL,
via Kingston, Jamaica, Monday, june
Is. The Spaniards last night attacked
the camp of the first battalion OF ma
rines under Lieut.. r. w. Huntington
and were repulsed with heavy loss.
Four Americans were killed, namely:
Surgeon j. b. Gibbs, of New York
city.
Sergeant Smith, of Co. d.
Private McColgan, of Co. ID.
Private Dunnrishy, of Co. d.
The wounded were: Private Nc
Gowan, of Co. d, hand shattered, and
the pilot on the United States cruiser
Marblehead, shot through the leg.
The firing began after midnight and
lasted until daybreak. AT times there
was heavy fusilade on both sides.
Lieutenants Neville and Shaw, OF
Co. D, with 80 men were on picket duty
all night and were attacked by heavy
force of Spaniards. All the men killed
were in this detachment except Dr.
Gibbs, who was shot while in camp.
The picLets held the Spaniards off un-
til released this morning.
Reinforcements were landed from
the Texas and Marblehead this morn
ing They consisted of 90 men and
two rapid fre-guns. The men
suffered greatly from heat and thirst;
but they all behaved splendidly in and
out of fire.
After McColgan and Dunnrishy were
killed, their heads were shockingly
mutilated with machetes.
Late yesterday morning the Spanish
opened fire from two guns placed on
the west side of the harbor. The shots
few wild The Texas, Yankee and
torpedo boat Porter, which were lying
in the harbor, opened fire, and in a
short time silenced the Spanish guns.
The latter fired only once after the
ships opened fire on them. There
were no casualties on the American
side.
It was decided by Col. Huntington
yesterday morning to abandon the
position first occupied as camp, as
there were no signs of reinforcements
of troops, and it was known that n,
force of Spaniards six times more nu--
merous than the marine battalion was
the vicinity. Therefore, the crest OF
the hill which the troops held Sunday
night, was given up to batteries and
rifle pits, and the tents were pitched
on the side of the hill near the harbor,
which is protected by the war ships.
