then once more bore down on the har-
Dor. The flagship kept in until less
than 1000 yards from the shore and then
her shells again began to heave up the
waters of Santiago harbor.
This time the shore batteries Were
better served, and the Spanards re-
piled to the warships fire in energetic
fashion, but nearly all the shots from
the batteries fell short Then came the
New Orleans once more, her long
black gums doing fearful work and
tearing up the ground all around the
batteries in most savage manner.
The Spanards dropped several shells
close to the Iowa as she came by for
the second time, sending n stream of
shells into the harbor as she did so.
The Spanish ships, with the exception
of the Cristobal Colon, were behind the
hills and could not see the enemy who
threw shells around them with such
rapidity that they knew he was some
where on the other side of the harbor.
and they simply raised the muZzlcs Of
their guns and banged away. The re
suit was what might have been ex-
pected. Their fire tore the bosom of
the Caribbean sea but it harmed moth

After the Massachusetts had passed
the point where she could fire into the
harbor With advantage. she turned to
the open sea, the other vessels followed
her.
That fight was over rs far as the
honor, however. demanded that some
further destruction Of gunpowder b"
made and the ships doomed and the
batteries roared long after the Ameri-

The affair soon became ludicrous as

LONDON MYSTIFIED.
Can't Tell Whether or Not Cervcra is at
Santiago.

London, June 3.-Yesterday'S news
and that which comes this morning
has brought no fresh feature into the
ton as to whether Admiral Ccrvcra is
really at Santiago de Cuba.
The Madrid correspondents Of the
morning papers make the point that
the persistence with which Senior Sa-
gasta and Captain Aunon, the minister
Of marine, assert Cervera's presence,
there is a mere attempt to misiead the
enemy. On the other hand ii is argued
that Admiral Ccrvcra could not be in
a safer place, and that if Admiral
Camara could succeed in entering an
other West Indian harbor and thus en-
ploy two American squadrons in the
work of blockading, SPANS policy Of
delay would be assisted
But for the negative evidence that
Admiral Cervera has not been else
where. London opinion leans to the
theory that he escaped from Santiago
harbor either before Sunday, or posi-
by under cover Of the torpedo maneu

held that Admiral Sampson viii soon

as Opposed to Their Acquisition.

WORCESTER (Mass.), Nov. 3d.
Senator Hoar announced himself to-day
as positively opposed to the acquisition
OF the Philippines by the United States.
In communication to the Gazette"
he said:
We have not, so far any news which
Is absolutely trustworthy of what they
are doing in Paris. But if the report Is
true that it is proposed to buy of Spain
the sovereignty of the Philippine ISL
ands, and the Government has agreed
to pay $4,000, 600 for it, do not be-
lleve that such a treaty was agreed to,
ana l do not believe it ought to be
agreed to. Spain has very little SOW
ereignty in the Philippines just now,
and l do not think the people of the
United States are in the market to
buy sovereignty just now, or that the
constitution has conferred upon any
body the right to buy any such COM
modify. The Constitution was framed
upon the theory that sovereignty is not
saiable. The people of the United
states have conferred upon nobody the
power to make such purchase in their
Denalf. We have acquired territory,
either vacant or SO sparsely settled that
there We're no people capable Of govern
ing 1t, and no germ of a national life.
we have also in one recent case ac-
quired a territory where the original
germ of national life had persisted. But
neither of these presidents applies to
