Then Immediately. on ascertaining that re-
Inducements could not possibly arrive in
time to retrieve the Spanish fortunes of war
on land or save Santiago and the fleet, the
government cabled Saturday asking the ad-
vice of Admiral Cervera. He demanded carte
blanche to follow his Judgment and to de-
stroy his vessels in the bay of Santiago
rather than let them fall into the hands of
the enemy. The Council of Ministers there
upon instructed the ministers of marine and
of war to cable to Admiral Ceryera to make
q sortie at any cost, even at the risk of the
destruction of his fleet, because it was nee
eSsary to prevent a disaster in the bay of
santiago for political and dynastic reasons

Admiral Sampson has telegraphed the
Navy Department as follows, from his flag
ship New York, off Santiago, dated yester-
day:
About midnight last night the Reina Mer-
cedes was seen by the Massachusetts, which
vessel had a search light on the channel,
coming out of the harbor of Santiago The
Massachusetts and Texas opened fire and
the Spanish vessel was sunk opposite Es-
trella cove. / am inclined to think it was
the intention to sink her in the channel and
thus block the harbor entrance If so, this
plan was defeated by the fire of the ships
as she hes on the edge of the shore"
