Kingston, Ja., June q. News has been
received here today from Port Antonio
confirming tho report brought there yes
terday by q vessel from Santiago de-
Cuba, saying the Spanish torpedo boat
destroyer Terror had been sunk by an
American warship. 1t appears that the
battleship Oregon saw long craft sneak
ing oloss to the shore and heading toward
the hsrpor. She signslled the craft to
turn to and the signals we're improperly
answered, whereupon the Oregon opened
fire on her. A 13-inch she'll struck the
torpedo boat amidships and she sank
With all hands.
The vessel is supposed to have been the
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror,
trying to make her way from Porto Rico
into the harbor OF Santiago de Cuba. to
join the feet of Admiral Cervera, with
WulCu Suo urriSou ue AorVo uo NA"hoos
Island of Martinique. The Terror was
compelled to remain at Porto de France
owing to her boilers being out Of order.
On the other hand IL is believed ths
torpedo toat destroyer sunk by the
Oregon may have been the Furor of
Admiral Cervera's fleet, as the latest re-
ports concerning the Terror seem to show
that her boile.s were still out Of order.
The Spanish torpedo boat destroyers
Fcror and Terror were built at Glasgow
for Spain and completed their official
trials in November, 1896. They are
bigger than any Of their type in the Brit
ish fleet, being 2Sc feet long and % feet
broad. Their armament consists Of two
l4.pound rapid-fre Maxim Nordenfelts.
two l6-pounders of the same oalibre, and
two 37-millimetre automatic Maxims.
There are also two l4.inch deck pivoted
torpedo tubes on the boat of the
Schwartskoff system.
Tbe mean OF runs on the N assured
mile was one1point over 2s knots. which
speed was also maintained on two-hour
run In a hard southwest wind. During
the trial OF the Furor that vessal had a
full load OF 20 tons on board, which Is
considerably greater than the load oarrisd
by tho destroyers of the British and
other governments.
