ION TO CUBA!,

THE vanguard Of the army Of Crba has
l. moved at last Many of the soldiers
who have been grumbling at Tampa and
Mobile over their unwelcome inactivity
embarked on the transports which have
been lying idle Mt those points so long.
Gen. Miles has left Washington for the
front. Soon stirring news will come OF
victories won over Spanish troops. The
work Of liberating Cuba, to which this
country pledged itself more than month
ago, has been commenced in earnest. Dec
Grafton Day was made memorable not
alone by the ceremonies attaching to its
observance and by the reunion of the vet
Grams, both Of the blue and the gray, un-
der the same flag, and of the volunteers
also under the same flag in defense of
common cause, but by the good news
which came from Commodore Schley that
a last the Cape Verde feet was definitely
located in Santiago harbor This officer
asserts he has seen the vessels, and the
evidence of ones eyes does not need fur
ther confirmation. The receipt at Wash
ington of the news that Admiral Cervera's
fleet was in the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba with Commodore Schley at the ell
trance, ready and able to fall on it if 1t
attempted TO escape, dispe!led those fears
of the Spanish vessels which have kept
the army on American shores so long.
When it was learned authOritatiyely that
Cervera was bottled up and could not in
terfere with the transports or with the
landing of the troops, the forward move |
ment began.
The military invasion of Cuba began !
Monday Almost immediately following |
the receipt of definite information as to
the presence of the Spanish fleet at San
tiago, Gen. Miles went to the War De-
partment and issued teiegraphic orders
putting the troops in motion and thus
starting the forward movement of the mil
itary arm Of the service. At an early hour
the troops that have been gathered at the !
gulf ports began to break camp and march
aboard transports waiting TO carry them
to the enemy's territory. About twenty
five Of these ships. the biggest and fast
est that could be obtained suitable for the
purpose. had been gathered ready to re-
ceive the troops. They accommodate
about 10000 men, for in a short voyage
like that from one Of the gulf ports to
Cuba, it Is possible with safety and COM
fort to carry much larger number of
men aboard ship than would be admissi-
ble in the case for n cruise to the Philip
pines, for instance.
How many troops started and where
they were bound were questions which
the directing spirits of the campaign re-
fused positively to answer They had no

PANIC IN SPAIN.

is dark. The Government has intrustel

render. The st. Paul. it is reported. fired
seventeen shots before the Spanish flag
was hauled down. The news Of the cap
ture was brought by dispatch boat from

Second Bombardment Reported.

Second BOmbardmeut Reported.
Friday morning at s o'clock the Ameri-
can squadron began second lombard
ment of the fortifcations of Santiago de
Cuba, and a lively cannonade ensued for
two hours, which silenced the Spanish
batteries. An American vessel, the Mer-
rimac, described in the advices from San
tiago de Cuba as an auxiliary cruiser,
making a dash to force the entrance, sue
ceeded in passing the first line Of de-
fenses, but was torpedoed about 800 feet
up the channel. The torpedo broke hole
in her side and caused her TO sink almost
instantly, bow first An officer, an engi-
neer and six seamen were taken prison
ers. The number of victims is unknown.
The news that the collier mot cruiser)
Merrimac was sunk by a torpedo in trying
to force her way through the narrow pas
sage leading to Santiago harbor excited
great interest in Washington. While
without any information except that con-
tained in press dispatches to the effect
that the Merrimac was sunk, naval Off
GERS think it exceedingly probable that
Sampson would assign non-fghting ship
to the duty Of ascertaining the location OF
the torpedo fields or Of clearing the chan
mel of torpedOes. rather than risk the de-
struction of a regular war vessel, whose
loss would weaken the effective strength
Of the American fleet. Admiral Sampson
has apparently rammed a cork into the
neck of the bottle at Santiago and impris-
oned the Spanish feet by purposely sing
ing in the channel the big collier, which,
it is said, was brought with the feet for
that express purpose.
The Merrimac was large tramp steam
ship built of iron and with a displacement
Of 1882 tons. and it was capable of car
rying the enormous load of 5000 tons Of
coal. so that il it was successfully sunk
in the narrow entrance to Santiago bay it
would prove an obstacle to the escape of
the Spanish feet which nothing but dyna-
mite would remove, and the use OF dyna
mite. of course, would explode every Dine
or torpedo in the vicinity of the wreck.
1t was reported in Port au Prince that
while the American fleet made the second
at-ack the insurgents. led by Gen. Rat
marched on the town and attacked. There
was a bloody engagement, which resulted
in a drawn battle. the insurgents finally
encamping on the Holguin road. while the
Spaniards massed in the Plaza d Armas.
