that the Spanish squadron had been
sighted to the westward of that island
Martinique is about 600 miles in a
southerly direction from San Juan
Porto Rico, where the American SQUAD
ron, under Admiral Sampson, was in
action yesterday. The Spanish vessels
off Martinique, compose the formidable
squadron recently collected at the Cape
Verde islands and which sailed from
there in a westerly direction two weeks
ago today.
Upon receipt of this information, Sec
retary Long ordered Commodore Schley
at Hampton Roadside put to sea at

will sail today. While its destination is
not known,it is believed that the squad
ron has been sent in pursuit of the

London, May 13.-The Evening News
this afternoon publishes a dispatch
from st. Thomas, Danish West Indies,
saying San Juan de Porto Rico surren-
dered at 6 o'clock yesterday evening.
The dispatch adds that immense dam
age was done to the city and that a
number of important buildings col
lapsed.
The Iowa and Detroit, according to
this dispatch, fired 43O shots with terri
BILE effect.
In conclusion the dispatch to the
Evening News says the Americans did
not attempt to take possession of or
destroy the town, beyond razing the
Notifications.
All the American warships, the dis
patch to the Evening News from St.
Thomas further says, except the Mont
gomery, steamed in sIlipticaI formation
before the forts at San Juan de Porto
Rico, which fired 20 to 30 guns, seven of
which were good guns. The fleet first
fired too low, but at the second dis
charge they got the elevation, and soon
silenced MORO Castle and set fire to
the town, driving the Spaniards from
their guns repeatedly.
The shore guns fired hundreds of
shots.
The New York was hit once and
seaman was killed and four wounded.
The Iowa was hit once and two men
were slightly wounded.

Physical Culture rooms last night.They
went home about 10 o'clock and retired
at once Nothing was noticed to indi-
cate that any one had entered the
house at that time and if some one had
hidden himself in the closet upon the
approach of Mr.. and Mrs. Collins he
would not have waited all night to
make the deadly assault.
A few people hint at suicide but such
a suspicion is preposterous. Neither
wound could have been inflicted by Mr.
Collins and he could not have fired the
second shot after the first took effect
This may be taken for a certainty.
The murder was done with deliberation
and by some one familiar with the
house and it's occupants. The motive
was not robbery. The person who COM
mitted the crime knew where Mr.. Col
Inns kept his gun.
The murderer did not leave the house
by a window. The first shot was aimed
at the heart and the second shot was
the murderer had started to leave the
room.
The frightfu1 murder of Mr.. Collins
one of the most prominent and respect
ed citizens of Topeka recalls the mur-
der of A. T. Rodgers and the wounding
of Mrs. Rodgers on June in 1889. That
crime was committed by a tramp burg
lar who was afterward hung by mob.
If the murderer of Mr.. Collins is cap
tured he would not escape a similar
fate. Mr.. Rodgers was shot at be-
tween and 5 O'Clock in the morning
and Mrs. Collins says that just after
Mr.. Collins spoke his last word the
clock struck five.

SIMPSONS REPORT.
First Official News of the Bombard-
ment of San Juan.

Washington, May 13-At 1920 this
morning the navy department received
the follow ing dispatch from Admiral
Sampson. 1t is dated st. Thomas, May
II, and is as follows:
"A portion of the squadron under my
command reached San Juan this morn
ing at daybreak. No armed vessels
were found in the port. AS soon as it
was sufficiently light, 1 commenced at
tack upon the batteries defending the
city. This attack lasted about three
hours and resulted in much damage to
the batteries and incidentally to por-
ton of the city adjacent to the batter
les The batteries replied to our fire,
but without material effect. One man
was killed on board the New York and
seven slightly wounded in the squadron.
No serious damage to any ships result
ed.
(Signed) SAMPSON"
Admiral SIMPSONS report that he at
tackled with only a portion of the fleet
is taken to indicate that he did not deem
it expedient to take the entire squadron
into the harbor, though it is not believ-
ed he has separated his fleet. The ma
Wy department officials were at a loss
to know how his dispatch reached ST.
Thomas until the Associated Press dis
patch announced the presence of the
Yale at ST. Thomas.
