Army and Navy Officers Frankly Dis
credit the Reports

WASHINGTON. June Sup TO the close
of office hours 1t could not be learned at
the war or navy department that any news
had reached there to show that troops
had landed in force near Santiago, and the
officers, high and low. made no conceal
ment OF their incredulity.
Mai. de Granprey, military attache Of
the French embassy, left tonight for Tam
ia, where he will proceed with the troops
embaGking for Cuba.
Prince Lievenofr. OF Russia. a captain
of the Russian royal artillery and recently
assigned for special service In connection
with the war. called on the war and navy
officials today and later left for the South.
These are the last OF the foreign observ-
ers to leave for the scene of action.
II was stated at the foreign embassies
and legations today that there was no war
rant for the report thta the foreign mill
tary and nava! attaches were making I'M
favorable reports to their home govern
ments. 1t is said these foreign observers
know from experience the difficulties at
tending the equipment of raw levies. and
that they give generous recognition TO the
manner in which 1000 men have been as
signed. armed and equipped. The foreign
experts say that more or less confusion
f. unavoidable in such a gigantic under
taking, and that military science recog-
nizes this confusion as inseparable from
the assembling Of a large volunteer force.

ni-Whefher the American fleet sank a
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer on Friday
night has no. been absolutely confirmed
At 10 O'Clock Friday night the cruiser
New Orleans discovered what appeared
10 be torpedo boat destroyer close to the
shore. and signaled the flagship New
York that y was evident that a night tor
pedo attack was TO he made.
The New York and New Orleans opened
fire and their shells burst around the dark
object. Finally a thirteen-sneh shell from
the Massachusetts, fnot the Oregon, as
first reported was fired and exploded,
and the searchlights of the vessels were
turned on the spot where the supposed
destroyer had been sighted. but not a
trace OF the boat could be found. and 1t
was believed by the officers of the New
York that she had been sunk. The first
assumption was that the vessel was the
Terror. but il Is believed now that IL was
the PEuton or Furor, for the Terror is
known TO have been at Porto Rico.
On Sunday two Schwarzkopf torpedoes
were found floating two miles south of Ell
Moro. This class of torpedo is used by the
Spanish. and one Of the two found had
only the practice head. Many Of the fleet
believe that darkened railway train that
was moving along the shore was the real
object OF the bombardment instead OF
destroyer. No wreckage has been found
no dead bodies have been noticed. and IL
is possible that the torpedoes were some OF
those fred at the Merrimac when Lieut.
Hobson sunk her.
Admiral Sampson Is determined not to
allow the Spanish to reaiove the Mer-imac
from the spot whers she lies On Satur-
day ii was reported that they were working
at the huh and the American fleet formed
In line of battle with orders to lombard.
1t turned out that the Spanish were not so
engaged and the fleet withdrew. Admi-
raj Sampson had given specific orders that
FL Moro where the Merrimac's crew are
imprisoned, be spared In the firing.
Admiral Cervera's polite assurances were
accompanied by the statement that Lieut..
Hobson and his menwere confined there.
Thus placing the prisoners In direct line
of fire is denounced by the American fleet
as q thirteenth century defense an act of
incarnate cruelty.

tice yesterday that the cable leading

1t is believed. however. that this last
