SPANS PAPER SQUADRON.
Boogaboo Reports Sent Out to Strike
Terror Into the Hearts of the
American People.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The frequent
reports from Spain, through other
countries to the effect that a formida-
BILE fleet is being prepared at Cadiz to
sail for the West Indies in aid of Ger
vera causes little apprehension here.
Naval officers, through private means
Of communication, have pretty well
satisfied themselves that the
Cadiz keet is a paper fleet. In other
words, its offensive power is altogether
ilIusory. More than half the vessels
whose names appear so frequently in
the press dispatches as formidable wal
craft are of Anticipated type and in a
sad state of disorder.
The old Numancia is an example.
She is rated as = battleship of the first
class. In her day she was a battle
ship, but she has not a turret nor a
sponsor, and would be little more than
sport for a modern ironclad.
In addition to being antiquated most
of these vessels are broken down in
engines and boilers. In their reckless
disregard of the simplest precautions
for the preservation of the complex
machinery of war ship, the Spaniards
are eXcelled by no people, and it is
well known that they have been COM
peeled to hire British engineers to run
their engines whenever they did run.
There are some vessels, although a
very few, at Cadiz, of modern type, but
they are not numerous nor powerful
enough to give our navy any serious
concern.
Of course it is not to be understood
from this that our naval officers are
neglecting to take precautions against
surprise at Santiago. They have their
own scouts well out to the eastward OF
Cuba 20 that they may receive quick
notice if any of the Cadiz fleet was
foolish enough to have started a day
or two ago for the West Indies, as is
now reported from Europe.
The report that the pope has ad.
dressed himself to President Mckinley
directly in an effort to bring about
peace between the United States and
Spain proves, upon investigation, to be
groundless.

1t was definitely learned to-day that
the next expedition to the Philippines
would include 60 engineers, under
Capt. Longftt's command. This corps
will go to work Immediately upon
their arrival at Manila to mine the
harbor at that place. \ large amount

been forwarded, and will be shipped
to Manila in charge of Capt. Longtitt,
who has been in the east inspecting
the work of laying the mines recently

seaboard.
Gen. Merritt has instructed his suo-
ordinates to have the work of prepar.
ing the next fleet of transports for Ma.

away at the earliest possible moment.
1t is stated that the steamer Zealandia
will be ready to receive troops by the
end of the present week. She is re-
ceiving her coal, and the hunks for
1000 men are nearly finished. Bunks
for 1000 men are being fitted on the
steamer China, and she will be ready
by the middle of next week. The
work of preparing the Colon is pro-
crossing rapidly, and she will be lit for

An American Story-A Different Face on
the Affair.
NEW YORK, June IAN Evening
Journal special from Cape Haytien says:
The torpedo boat Porter arrived at
Mole St. Nicolas at l z. m. with dis
patches for Washington. She left i'm
mediately, but before going to sea the
following story of the bombardment of
Santiago de Cuba was obtained by your
correspondent at the Mole:
The American squadron, augmented
by the torpedo boat Porter, the auxil-
larry cruiser, and the protected cruiser
New Orleans, approached the entrance
to the harbor of Santiago at about 1890
p. m, the Iowa leading.
Inside the entrance to the harbor
was seen n of the warships of Ger
vera's fleet, stripped 70: action.
AS the American fleet drew near the
New Orleans was detached, and
steamed forward ahead of the Iowa,
Texas and Massachusetts,. One of the
Notifications opened fire on her, and
she replied, the other two ships
directing the fire at the battery
on the Punta Gorda within the harbor
and to westward of the position occu-
pied by the Spanish ship. The latter
replied to the fire and Immediately be-
came a target for the American ships
engaged in the battle. She retired be-
hind a protecting headland, and was
not seen again during the engagement.
The Iowa, directed by Capt. Flight
ing Bob" Evans; the Massachusetts,
Capt. +. j. Higginson; the Texas, Capt.
j. w. Philip, and the New Orleans,
Capt. VIM. NJ. Folger, kept up their
terrific fire against the Moro, Socapa
and Punta Gordo Notifications for two
hours, their ~projectiles. of enormous
size, doing tremendous damage to the
defenses of the harbor.
The masonry of Socapa and MORO
was battered almost into dust, and the
forms of Spanish artillerymen and in
fantry could plainly be seen flying to
safety behind the neighboring hills.
The auxiliary cruiser which joined
Schley's fleet just before the battle
took place was hit by shells from
the forts, and it is thought she was
seriously damaged.
After seeking the protection of a jut-
ting headland, the Spanish warships
continued to FIRE projectiles over the
hills toward the fleet, but they had no
range, not even direction to their shots,
and the shells fell harmlessly into the
sea.
That the number of killed and
wounded on the Spanish side is enor-
nous, no M doubts, for time and
again the American shells hit the bat
teries squarely, and amid the flying
masonry and dismantled guns the
forms of men were seen.
The damage done to the American
feet can not be learned, but it is not
thought any person was killed, if in
deed anyone vas wounded.
