A COLLISION AT SEA.


A British Steamer Crashes Into the Cruiser
Columbia and the English Vessel Sinks
The Columbia Rescues the Crew OF tho
Unlucky Ship.
New York, May 3d. When the
United States cruiser Columbia, in
command of Capt. Sands, anchored off
Tompkinsville, s. l., Sunday afternoon
it was seen that she had large jagged
hole stove in her starboard side,
abreast of the mainmast and immedi-
ately forward of the after barbette.
Above the water line the hole extended
about ten feet high and six feet wide.
Just how far below the water line the
cruiser was damaged could not be as
certained and none of the naval officers
would give any information.
AS soon as the vessel came to anchor
the captain and crew, 81 in all, of the
British steamer Foscolia, which left
this port Saturday with cargo OF
machinery and general merchandise
for Bordeaux, went ashore. They
would not talk when they landed and
left at once for New York to report to
the agents of the company to which
the vessel belonged. No one was al
| lowed to go on board the Columbia,
but to a press representative who
rowed out to the cruiser, the officer OF
the deck made the following state
ment:
"About TAO p m, Saturday the Brit
ish steamship Foscolia, in command o.
Capt. Evans, collided with our vessel
during dense fog. We were abou'

Washington, May 27.-The regula-

ade of engineers and ten regiments OF
immunes authorized by special act OF
congress were formally agreed upon
Thursday by Gen. Miles and Adjt. Gen.
Corbin. Recruiting will begin at once
with a view to the utilization OF the
men in the army of occupation OF
Cuba. The brigade of engineers is to
be comprised of three regiments.
The officers will be selected for their
skill as military, civil, electrical, me-
chanical or typographical engineers
An effort will be made to recruit the
enlisted men from every branch Of the
engineering profession and of mechan-
seal skill. Machinists, steam engineers
blacksmiths, carpenters, plumbers,
telegraphers, topographers, draughts-
men, photographers, railroad men,
rigqers, boatmen and those skilled in
the use of explosives are especially de-
sired.
The men composing the 'immunes'
are expected to be recruited largely
from the south. They are to be organ
ized into ten regiments, five of which
will be composed of whites and the
other regiments of colored persons
They will be made up as far as practi

Schley Reports that Cervera's
Ships are at Santiago.
The Word from schley Comes just at the
Time When . Madrid Newspaper
Gives Out Story About a Great
Naval Victory Gained by
Spaniards.

Washington, May SO.--At 1890 o'clock
this morning the navy department re-
ceived a dispatch from Commodore
Schley announcing definitely that he
had located Admiral Cervera's squad
ron in the bay of Santiago de Cuba.
The commodore states that he has seen
and recognized the vessels OF the Span
, ish feet
| While the naval officials have been
morally certain for several days that
Cervera's squadron was in the harbor
of Santiago, the official announcement
from Commodore Schley was received
| by the officers at the department with
intense satisfaction. Assurance is now
doubly sure that the Spanish feet is
bottled up and that the cork is in the
| bottle.
1t is not believed that Cervera will
attempt to escape from the predicament
in which he now finds himself, as such
course would surely result in the de-
struction of his vessels and the loss OF
many lives precious to Spain. The
suggestion is made, however, that the
| Spaniard may blow up his ships rather
than have them fall into the hands OF
Schley, as they certainly will If they
remain in the harbor.
The defniteness of Commodore
Schley's dispatch would indicate that
he had effected landing near Santi-
ago and made personal investigation
of the harbor. 1t would be impossible
from the entrance to the bay definitely
to see and recognize the Spanish yes
, sells, but by effecting a landing at some
point on either side of the entrance a
! vantage point could be gained very
!, likely from which the entire harbos
!. could be examined. In all probability
! Commodore Schley or one OF his trusted
! officers has successfully performed this
hazardous undertaking in order to OBJ
tain the valuable information con
tanned in his dispatch.
