PLANNING THE sORTIE.
Had Cervcra Sailed Eastward He
Might Have Escaped.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.
Off Santiago de Cuba, July 4, Afternoon,
Via Port Antonio, Jamaica, July 8, per the
Associated Press Dispatch Boat Cynthia
II, via Kingston, Jamaica, Tuesday, July
5, noon.-Admiral Cervera held consulta-
ton with his officers before sailing out of
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba and by
small majority the move was agreed upon.
The minority said that destruction was
sure, as many of the ftremen had mutinied
and the best men in the fleet were worn
out by serving the guns in the shore bat
teries
Early on the morning of the sortie care
full observations We're taken of the sea,
east and west. Admiral Cervera decided
upon taking the westward course, with
Manzanillo, Cienfuegos, or, if possible, Ha-
vana, the port to be reached.
He would have gone east but, for the
sighting of a large transport fleet off Sib-
oney, and the assurance that a convoy of
war vessels was still with the transports
AS matter of fact there is no war YES
sci larger than a converted yacht, except
the New York, that could have obstructed
Admiral Cervera's escape eastward.
Naval men here are sure that the Span
ish vessels could have disabled or sunk The
New York and escaped had the eastward
course been chosen.
1t was feared for a time by many that
some of the sailors and officers who
swan ashore from the Vizcaya the AL
mrante Oquendo and the Marie Teresa,
were killed by the insurgents, who were
seen in the chapDaral near the beach
This cannot be verified at this writing,
as no accurate estimate of The loss to the
Spanish fleet is obtainable
1t is claimed that one shell killed 100
men on the Vizcaya, raking the vessel
fore and aft

cooperation and support of a lombard
ment from Admiral SIMPSONS fleet.
Up to the close of office hours to-day no
word had come either to the war or navy
department, so far as was disclosed, as to
what determination had been reached at
the conference.
At the same time it is the expectation of
the authorities here that the conference
win result in a determination by the adj
miral to take his fleet through the narrow
neck of the harbor, make his way past
the shore batteries ana fortilcaticns and
take position before the city for a bonn
bardment.
There is reason to believe that the in
structions sent to Admiral Sampson at
least conveyed the desire. if not the in
structions, that he enter the harbor. But
Il IS said that tile admiral and the general
continue to he the supreme officials in au-
thorlty. and that being on the scene, fully
alive to all the conditions, their judgment
will be taken as final in the course to be
adopted.
There IS said to be no obstacle, so far as
navigating is concerned to the entrance
into the harbor OF the American feet.
The Crstobal Colon, which cleared the
Merrimac and got out Of the harbor Sun
day. drew % feet inches, which is within
seven inches Of the draft of the battle
ships Iowa, Indiana, Massachusetts and
OREGON. and IS greater than the draft Of
the battleship Texas.
Moreover. the navy department has
known for the last ten days that the neck
Of the channel was open despite the sinking
of the Merrimac, and that there was a
clear seaway of seven fathoms through
which any ship in our navy could sail.
This removes all difficulty, except from
submarine mines or from the shore bat
tarles. AS to the mines, little account Is
taken of them since the Spanish feet pass
ed over them.
The spaniarjs arc In the habit Of using
contact mines, so that there is little likeli-
hood of their being mines operated by
electric connection with the shore
The forls and batteries have been badly
weakened by the constant fire OF the feet

ton consists Of 7.210 men, fully equipped
and ready for service.
Those from Camp Alger came via the
Atlantic Coast Line system. and can
scarcely arrive here before tomorrow
night. II is not probable. therefore, thar
the actual work of embarking the eNpedi-
ton Will he under way before Thursday.
The chief engineer of the Columbia said
to-day that the Columbia and the Yale
could accommodate about 300 men and
their baggage. He said, however, that
it was reported IN naval circles that the
Harvard would join the expedition here,
SO that II is possible that 1000 men may
he sent to Gen. Skaters aid from this
city before the week is out.
The troops from Camp Alger are the
Sixth Regiment from Massachusetts and
the Sixth from Illinois, so dispatches re-
celveds here to-day stated. but 1t Is possi-
ble that other regiments have been ordered
here also.
The work of embarking the men will
be done with all the dispatch possible.
The government has chartered the Commo-
dore Perry, the Sapho the Pilot Boy and
the Planter, all excursion steamers, 10
take the troops down The harbor.
The Columbia and the Yale are anchor
ed off the bar and cannot come up to the
docks, owing to the fact that they draw
over twenty-SiN feet when loaded. They
WIN have to be coaled az the mouth of the
jetties from barges, and the troops will
board them from the excursion steamers
The soldiers can be easily put aboard in
twenty-four hours, so that the expedition
should be en- route TO Santiago by Satur'
day at the latest.

for many weeks past. and while still
factor they are greatly disabled.
once up to the city the fleet and army
could combine in terrific double fire
No less than 292 heavy guns would be
trained from the American warshlps OIL
The city, aad at the same time the big
siege guns, which il Is expected have been
brought to the front of Gen. Skaters line,
would rain down a torrent OF steel from
that quarter.
The siege guns throw shells of 1876
pounds. Aside from them are four noun
tain howitzers and a large number Of
small howitzers. These are in the heavy
artillery, while the light artillery en-
braces great number of guns of 90 cali
Iber. Combined, this fire from land and
sea would be terrific an effect.
The action of the foreign representatives
at Santiago has been an additional reason
for deferring The bombardment 1t was
made known late to-day that one of Gen.
Skaters dispatches stated that these
representatives had joined in a request
10 him TO put off the sheling of the city
for another brief period until their respect
| i've colonies could be removed.
This accounts for the departure Of tine
foreign warships from Santiago harbor as
! they are bearing away the foreign resi-
| dents before the bombardment begins.
The activity of the consuls at Santiago
has led to no diplomatic complication thus
far, and the authorities here feel that
nothing of that nature will develop.
The state department to-day took oe-
casion to dispel some of the Spanish illu-
sions over the escape of Admiral Ger
vera's fleet 1t seems that Madrid is not
! alone in the belief that the fleet made a
! handsome sortie from Santiago and left
/ the American ships far in the rear. To-
1 day a cablegram came from United states
| Minister Lunis at Caracas saying that the
/ Spanish residents there were glorifying
in the Spanish naval victory. The min
! ister was informed briefly that Cervera's
! fleet had been destroyed, the admiral
made prisoner and that Gen. shafter had
demanded the surrender Of the city

where 1t viii embark on the st. Paul. and
the Illinois troops go to Charleston, S. c.,
and with the Massachusetts men, Will be
transported upon the Harvard and Yale.
All superhuous baggage was left behind
and everything that could be spared was
discarded, It being the desire to move the
regiments with all possible haste.

FOREIGN SHIPS LEAVE MANILA.
Only Two German, Two French and
Four British Left There.


Madrid, July 8, noon.-There is much
comment here over the news of the depart
ure Of the foreign warships from Manila
at the moment of the arrival there of the
American reinforcements. Only two Ger
man. two French and four British war
ships now remain at Manila, and people
are asking if international politics have
undergone a change and if the Americans
are to be given a free hand in the Phil
ippine Islands.
The news received here that the British
consul at Hong Kong has sent dispatch
boat to Manila for the purpose Of in
forming Rear Admiral Dewey of the fact
that Admiral Camaras squadron has ira
versed the Suez canal is much commented
upon, and the newspapers assert that the
Egyptian and British authorities purposely
placed obstacles in the way OF Admiral
Camara's departure in order 10 delay his
arrival at Manila as long as possible, add
ing that the British have been more scru-
pulous in maintaing the neutrality Of the
suez canal than they were when they al
lowed a steamer to leave Hong Kong load
ed with arms for the Manila insurgents.
