LONDON, May 5.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Key West, sent by
way of Tampa in order to escape CEN
sorship, asserts positive knowledge that
Rear Admiral SIMPSONS fleet will
steam at full speed to Porto Rico eth
er to destroy or to occupy the coali1ig
station as a naval base before the
Spanish squadron arrives, and then put
to sea and try to engage the Cape
Verde fleet.
News was also received here today
from Lisbon that the Spanish fleet
from st. Vincent had returned to join
the squadron at Cadiz This last sto-
ry, all things considered is not very
generally credited, and, with the Ore
gon hurrying north, accompanied by
the Marietta, and Sampson steaming
south with his big battleships, both
likely to meet the Spanish ships, in the
event that they have not turned back
but are on the way to Porto Rico, ma
that the greatest naval battle in the
worlds history may be fought in a
few days in West Indian waters. This
view Is based on the assumption that
the Spanish fleet is willing to try con-
clusions with the American ships,
which is somewhat doubtful.

KEY WEST, May 4-The heavy
fighting ships of Admiral Sampson s
squadron appeared in the harbor of
Key West last night, with no explana-
ton apparent for their sudden and un-
expected return from Havana, and this
morning, as suddenly and as quickly,
sailed away on a mission, the purpose
of which is secret.
The exodus of the naval men has
been the only incident of the dullest
day since hostilities opened.
Where they have gone is officially
unannounced, but surm1se is plentiful
and varied. The fact that the big bat
tleshlps and monitors coaled to the
fullest capacity before steaming away
Is taken to indicate plan occupying
considerable time.
This Cuban blockade is still rigidly
kept by the smaller cruisers, under the

WASHINGTON, May 4. Don vineente
Montejo Trillo, vice admiral in command
OF the Spanish fleet in the Philippines, is
known personally to very few men in Wash
ington. His reputation, however is more
widespread, and many of the attaches Of
foreign legations have great things to say
today of the man who was yanquished only
by the superior courage. seamanship and
craftsmanship Of the American warriors
Admiral Montejo was forced to abandon his
flagship the splendid Reina Maria Christina
during the engagement He went on board
the 1sla of Cuba, hofsted his flag there and
gave up the battle only when every one of
his fighting vessels had been either battered
to pieces, burned or placed hors de combat.
