said that Senior Moret, secretary for
the colonies, and Senior Gullon, foreign
minister, have resigned.
Il Admiral Bermejo, minister Of ma
rine and Count Xiquena. minister OF
public works. are also said to have
resigned.
The retiring ministers offered vari-
GUS excuses, such as illness and weari-
ness, for their withdrawal, Senior Sa-
gasta begging them to remain until
the indemnity bill had been passed,
but 1t is believed that at tonight's
cabinet council the designations be-
came definite.
1t turns out that Admiral Bermejo
on learning of the Cavite disaster, told
Senior Sagasta that he must resign, ow-
ing to the delicacy of his position,
though he felt that he was not re-
sponsible for the state Of the defenses
of Manila.

Commander Todd reports:
1t was impossible for the Wilmington to
approach nearer than 2,000 yards The Span
1sh gunboats could not be seen from this
distance and the Winslow was directed to
go nearer to see if she could determine
where they were lying. She had gone only
700 yards inside the Wilmington when she
was fired upon from a gunboat. The Will
mfngton and Winslow returned fire. After
rapid exchange Of shots for Is or 20 min
utes, in which shore battery is supposed
to have engaged, it became evident that
the Wtnslow could not steer.
AT this time the Hudson came up and
opened fire and the WinsIow asked to be
towed out as she was disabled. The torpedo
boat seemed to be the only target at which
the enemy fired. She was struck several
times. One engine was disabled, the
steering gear shot away and one boiler was
disabled. Her commanding officer was
wounded, but not seriously; Ensign Bagley
was fatally wounded and,4died before he
could be brought on board. the Wilmington:

MADRID, May 1.-THE following dis
patch has been received from Havana:
EARLY yesterday morning four Amer
lean warships fired repeated cannon
shots at Cierfuegos. In the meantime
several steamboats,, towing eight large
boats, loaded with orms ami anmuni-
ton for the rebels, approached the
shore. Several battalions Of infantry
drawn up on the sea ashore fired upon
the boats, which speedily retrcatc1. At
the same TIME, the batteries Of the
fort and others along the crdsr fired
upon the Americans, who reiterated, but
again attempted TO make Il landing on
the banks Of the river Tremso The
Spaniards again repulsed them by hot
volleys, inf1icting heavy losses. Four
teen Spaniards were wounded
A second dispatch from Havana says:
AT o'clock yesterday morning three
large and three small American ships
appeared off CardeaLs. A small boat
was detached. with som. marines, who
landed near the for. and relied It, They
also seized the semaphore station, TAX
ing the coast guards prisoners.
Continuing, the second dispatch from
Havana reads: In the meanwhile, the
warships began a furious cannonadins.
Cardenas does not possess defenses Of
any kind and only the little gunboats
Ligera and Antonio Lopez were in port.
They replied to the attack. The An
tonic Lopez was disabled, but three
hundred volunteers defended the town,
prevented the landing and compelled
the American ships to retire with con-
siderable loss.
"A Spanish sergeant and seven SOL
diers were wounded.
Capt. Gen. Blanco has congratulated
the authorities of Cardenas."

Colorado at Denver, who has just been
released from duty as president Of the
court martial which tried Capt. o. NJ.
Carter, Of the engineers corps.
Orders to Gen. Otis direct him to re-
port to Gen. Merritt for duty under
his direction in the Philippine islands.
Gen. Otis will be seconS in command,
and will act as military governor of
the islands in case of the absence or
disability of Gen. Merritt.
ARMY CORPS.
Orders We're also issued for the or
ganization of an army corps of about
10000 men for immediate duty in the
Philippine islands. This corps will be
made up of regulars and volunteer Or
CARNATIONS stationed on the Pacific
coast and in the far Western states.
Gen. Merritt was at the war depart
ment today in consultation with the
secretary of war, Gen. Miles and the
bureau chiefs with regard to the or
ganization of the expedition.
Prompt action will be had in the
matter, with a view to having the
troops make an early start on their
long voyage across the Pacific. Gen.
Merritt will leave here this afternoon
for New York to arrange his official
and private affairs, preparatory to de-
parture for San Fancisco. He said
that it was his purpose to sail from
San Francisco as soon as possible The
troops for the expedition probably will
depart before Gen. Merritt reaches the
Golden Gate, and the probability is
that Gen. Otis will command them al
the Philippines until the arrival OF
Gen. Merritt.
Complete arrangements have beer
made for the equipment, transportation
and subsistence of the troops, and they
will be able to start for Manila short
~ after the arrival at San Francisco.
