The Navy Department Has Received
No AdYicea from SchIeY.


WASHINGTON, June 1.-The naval of
ficials have been considerably mystifed
throughout the day by the reports of an
engagement off Santiago. At the outset
there was complete skepticism and a dispo-
sition to treat the reported action as a
myth. Gradually, as the day advanced, the
corroborative evidence coming from many
quarters, including the official announce
ment from Havana and Madrid, led the Of
ficials to concede that some engagement
had taken place, although they did not re-
gard 1T as a serious one. No bulletins were
issued by the department during the day
and at the close of office hours it was stated
that no dispatches from Commodore Schley
had been received during the day. There is
reason to believe, however, that the depart
ment received indirect advices through the
State Department, possibly not bearing out
the detailed press dispatches, but sufficient
to indicate that an engagement of some kind
had occurred at Santiago. The impression
obtained during the afternoon that in exc
cut1on of the general instructions to all
United States naval commanders on the
Cuban coast to prevent the construction or
strengthening of batteries by the Spaniards,
Commodore Schley, observing work of this
Kind going on at MORO Castle, had drawn
his fleet up close enough to stop it. It is not
believed for an instant that he made any
real attempt to enter the harbor, although
1t is entirely conceivable that while en-
gagged in the task of shelling the shore bat
teries, finding the Cristobal Colon in range
he could not resist the temptation to try a
few shots at her.
The press report saying the torpedo boat
Porter put into Mole ST. Nicholas early this
patches are on the way here. 1t was said,
however, that the delays incident to cipher
cabling might delay the receipt of such dis
patches, The officials stated that some of
the statements in the account of the en-
gagement are lnown to be inaccurate. STILL
about the only real basis the department
has for questioning the general accuracy of
the report that there has been serious en-
gagement is the fact that yesterday 1t was
in correspondence with Schley by cable 1t
is believed that the commodore acknowl-
edged tho receipt of suggestions from Wash
ington and the war board that he refrain
from an unsupported attack upon the forti-
fications and Spanish feet, If to do so would
involve risk of ships and life that would
scarcely be necessary. The fact. however
that the American commodore undertook to
refrain from an act voluntarily is not con-
vincing proof that he did not shell the forts
and the Spanish fleet. il, as Is entirely pos
sible and even probable. the latter at

continue the war. There was long process
sion at the bank during the day. All classes
of people were represented and many women
were in the bank waiting their turn to

would soon be subjected to a discount If
the run continues there is danger of the

quired The bank will endeavor to raise the

the hot sum- over steep ridges, brought Col.
Studebaker's regiment of Indiana yolun-
teers to Ringgold, Ga, at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, with only one man to fall out of
ranks in serious condition. The start was
made from Chickamauga Park at $3.50
o'clock in the morning, the baggage and
equipment having been packed methodically
in a very short time. AS the long line of
the Hoosier soldiers started out the dusty
Brotherton road other regiments lined up
and cheered the heavily burdened boys.
Colonel Smith had his band out, and the
old Second gave their comrades a royal
parting cheer. Colonel Gunders regiment
was engaged in battle maneuvers when the
One-hundred-an d-and-fifty-seventh passed its
neighborhood, but the Marion man and his
staff drove up to the road to salute the men
from northern Indiana.
Early in the morning Lieutenant Colonel
May had made a accommodating trip along
the road to Ringgold, In order to see what
the boys would have to encounter. Profit
ing by this preliminary survey, the resting
places were judiciously selected. The First
Ohio preceded the Hoosiers to Ringgold,
having set out two hours before, but the
Buckeyes at mountain stream between
the last two ridges crossed on the journey.
The Ohio colonel kept his men at cruel
gait, till regular army officer overlook
him and put stop to this. The Hoosiers
came into Ringgold in far better condition
than the Ohio men. The delay of the First
Ohio in getting its freight aboard kept the
Indiana men in Ringgold till late this after
noon, when the long trip to Florida was be-
gun. On the march the Sixteenth Pennsyl-

News from Santiago.
MADRID, June 1.-The following undated
official dispatch from Havana has been re-
ceived here, signed by Admiral Manterola,
the officer in command of the regular Span
ish fleet in Cuban waters:
"The American squadron commanded by
Commo lore Schley, composed of large IRON
ciads and cruisers, attacked the fortifica-
tions at the entrance of Santiago de Cuba.
Our ironclad Cristobal Colon, closing the
mouth Of the port and supported by the fire
of the forts, repulsed the attack, causing
damage to the enemy"
The minister of marine, Captain Aunon,
on leaving the palace this afternoon after
visit to the Queen said: "The American
squadron has bombarded and tried to force
the Santiago forts, which replied vigorously.
The Crstobal Colon advanced to the mouth
of the harbor, exchanging shots with the
enemy, who fired seventy shots against the
forts. The damage done is not reported.
The Colon hit an auxiliary American ship,
damaging it. The Colon was not damaged
Further details are withheld"
In the Senate to-day Count Casa Valencia
asked If the news of the American repulse
at Santiago de Cuba was official." The
minister of marine, Captain Aunon, replied
afIirn1atively, adding: THE news Isl a good
augury for further victories which the cour-
age and high merit of our sailors give rea-
son to hope for" The Senate then unani-
mously NOTED with satisfaction the brilliant
victory of the Spanish fleet"
Midnight-Oficial circles ridicule the
American pretension to treat tho Santiago
affair as a simple reconnaissance. They
point out the unlikelihood of four vessels be-
ing employed in a reconnaissance leading to
a combat of five hours duration. The truth
is. as official circles see it. that the Amerl-
cans tried to force an entry into the bay
and were repulsed.
1t is held equally improbable that the
American squadron destroyed the batteries
at lei MORO. which are situated at a height
OF sixty-two meters (about two hundred

CAPE HAITIEN, June 1, to:15 p. m.--The
Spanish government, according to advices
received here from Havana, intends also to
cut the cables which connect that city with
Key West if the other Cuban cables are cut
by the Americans. The Havana papers, the
same advices say, publish a dispatch from
Madrid, declaring that the Americans intend
to attack Santiago by sea while the insurg-
ents are making an attack by land, and
also to land reinforcements at Guantanamo
east of Santiago.
dispatch from Santiago says: "The
American squadron, which bombarded San
tiago yesterday, was composed of fourteen
vessels, among which were recognized the
Iowa, Brooklyn, Massachusetts, Texas and
Amazonas (New Orleans), besides gunboat
and an auxiliary cruiser, believed to be the
Columbia. The five vessels which were rec
ognized opened fire on the batteries of Punta
Gorda, Ell MORO and Zocapa, and also on
the cruiser Cristobal Colon, which had ad-
NdHCeu TOWARDS tne entrance OF the ndrD0r
and was visible from the high sea.
1.-THE Americans fired projectiles of thirty
two centimeters and the batteries, as we'll
as the Cristobal Colon, kept up an incessant
responsive fire. Two shots landed on the
after part of the Iowa, causing damage. On
the Spanish side the damage was insignif-
icant. The American squadron withdrew at
6 o'clock last evening.
''This morning the American squadron re-
appeared off Santiago, but contented itself
with firing two shots, which are believed to
have been signals agreed upon with the in
surgents who, numbering 1000 or 1900. are
said to have concentrated three or four
miles from Santiago. Great events are ex-
pected hourly at Santiago. The Spanish
authorities have taken extraordinary pre-
cautions and have placed in the narrow pass
at the entrance of the harbor special con-
trivances which permit the closing and
opening of the port at will"

views of secretary Gage.

WASHINGTON, June 1.--SecretaIy Of the
Treasury Gage, commenting Tonight upoa
the run to-day on the Bank of Spaiu said:
"The condition OF Spain at sea and on land.
in war and in finance, continues to grow
worse daily. 1 am not surprised that the
present condition confronts the Bank Of
Spain. In endeavoring to support the gov
ernment it has undertaken a tremendous
contract. The bank must continue specie
payments or it will be entirely discredited.
and unless 1t does continue them the Span
ish financial fabric will go to pieces. Span
ish bonds will fall still lower and Spain
will be in far more serious condition finan-
cially than she has ever been. To-day's de-
velopments indicate that the Spanish peo-
pie themselves are alarmed at the financial
condition of the country. They evidently
fear that the bank will not be able to carry
out its plans If its own bank should prove
to be an unsteady financial prop. Spain will.
indeed. have immense difficulty in raising
the sineWs of war;
