To Capture a Rich Prize.

Washington, May 6.-Instructions
have been issued to Admiral Sampson
to intercept and capture Spain's trans
port ship, the Alfonso XIII, which is
conveying to Havana LOO soldiers, a
great quantity of supplies, and $500,OOC
in money. 1t is belived that Admiral
Sampson has dispatched several ves-
sells to the Barbados to await the de-
parture of the Spanish steamer. The
British government will limit the length
of the stay of the Alfonso XIII in its
harbor to forty-eight hours, by which
time the American ships Will be cruis-
Ing In the vicinity of the Barbados.

At banquet of the Union League Club
of Chicago, Hon. Fl. ID. Esterbrook paid the
following beautiful and appropriate tribute
to President Mckinley:
They accuse the President of delay. De-
lay in doing what? Making war? Posi-
bly, so. But he has been active in his
efforts to prevent war, and there will be
many a widow and many an orphan who
will wish to God his activity had succeeded.
Nor has he delayed the actual preparation
for war, as today's papers testify. With
incredible swiftness he has gathered the
scattered resources of an empire, and has
placed peaceful, peace-loving, peace-abid-
ing people, careless of danger, upon war
fOoting-not for defense merely, but for
aggression. He has been harried but has
not been hurried. He has been silent, but
mean inaction. Cosmic forces gestate in
silence, and the somnolence of our Presi-
dent has been the sleep of spinning top.
He recreant of his trust! Why, gentlemen,
for the sake of this republic upon many a
battlefield William Mckinley has offered to
die, but for its sake the Almighty COM
manded him to live. l believe him to be,
since Lincoln, the greatest moral force that
has dominated the destines of this nation,
with a mission as distinct, as divine as that
of Washington or Lincoln-a mission,, first
of all, to save America from the infamy of
reputation, and then, to sweep from the
western continent, and If need be, from the
face of the earth, the anachronism called
Spain, with all her centuries of accumulat-
ed wrong"

ADMIRAL SIMPSONS FLEET.
Various Reports in Circulation Concern.
ing It's Movements.

ing Its Movements.
Washington, May 5.-No confirmation
is obtainable of the various reports
concerning movements of Admiral
Simpsons fleet. Persons, who from
their official positions might be sup
posed to share the confidence of the
administration, are credited with the
statement that the admiral has gone to
seize Porto Rico, and this statement is
made after conference with the exec
utive. On the other hand, it is asserted
with almost equal positiveness that the
fleet has gone to meet the Oregon and
bring her in safely to the north. Still
another report is to the effect that the
admiral has gone to seize MatanZas, to
be used as a base of operations
The officials refuse absolutely to make
public the plan of the strategy board
and thus give aid to the enemy. There
fore these conflicting theories as to the
plans of the fleet can only be judged
in the light of their probability when
viewed in connection with the usual
methods of warfare. Thus to lombard
Matanzas without at the same time
being able to land a sufficient force to
seize ind hold the place would seem to
be very bad strategy, and the fact that
Simpsons fleet was accompanied by
no troops transports would seem to neg
alive the idea that he had gone either
to attack MatanZas or seize Porto
Rico. To attempt the latter would re-
quire a strong landing force in view
of the number of Spanish troops on
the island, and in addition it may be
suggested that Admiral Sampson would
be very 10th to run the risk of having
one or more of his best ships COM
pletely disabled by attacking forts
needlessly, and thus leave his fleet in
ferinr to the SnaniSh force.

Key West, May 5.-Four Spanish

ship Oregon. A naval battle is immi-
nent.
Key West, Fla, May 5.-One of the
naval dispatch boats returned, after
successfully landing arms, ammunition
and some Cuban officers and guides in
the province of Matanzas. They had
to get assistance from the gunboat
Wilmington to land the expedition and
the Wilmington had to shell the forts
a number of times to carry out the
project The officers, guides and arms
were landed by the tug Legion and as
she approached the shore it was seen
that body OF Spanish cavalry were
engaged in a skirmish with band of
insurgents.
Sharp Fusillade at the Tug.
The cavalry paid no attention to the
insurgents firing from the bushes but
began a sharp fusillade at the tug.
Bullets flew around the tug so much
that the lookout aloft came down. The
Leyden then signaled the Wilmington
and the latter came a tri1e closer and
with her stern facing the beach fired
four rafting good shots from her A.
inch rapid-fire guns. All landed around
the cavalry, but none of the men were
killed. They took to their heels and are
probably running yet. The stuff was
then landed While waiting for her at
tack on the cavalrymen the Whining
ton fired at blockhouse farther down
the beach. There were some fifty Span
ish regulars sitting on top Of this block
house watching LeyGen and insurgents
at work.
Last Was Bulls-Eye.
The first shot went wild. The
twelfth and last shot was q bulls eye.
When the smoke cleared away the
blockhouse, men, everything had dis
appeared as If swallowed up. The
Spanish colors that had flown from it
were seen high up in a tree Haunting
away where the shot had driven it. The
Colts automatic 4-inch and 3-pounder
used twelve shots. The Leyden and
Wilmington returned to the flagship
and the former then came here. There
are a dozen holes in the smokestack
from cavalry bullets.
1t is officially reported that none of
the Americans or Cubans of the ex-
petition was killed or wounded, but
sixteen Spaniards are reported dead.
