Preparations at san Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12.-The steamer
City of Peking was removed from the dry
dock this afternoon and taken to her dock.
Admiral Miller has issued orders to have
her coaled tonight, and at the navy office
the information was given out that she
would take on her stores at the dock in
stead of going to Mare island, as originally
intended. Unless something unforeseen hap
pens. the vessel will be ready for sea by
Tuesday next The work of Transforming
the steamers Conemaugh and Ohio into
troop ships will be rushed as soon as def
mite plans have been decided upon. Their
construction makes the task a compara-
lively easy one
From present indications the cruiser
Charleston will be ready for sea early on
Saturday Her stores are going on board,
and the supply of ammunition for Deweys
fleet is being rushed into her magazines.
The Charleston will not wait for the City
of Peking, but as a stop will he made at
Honolulu for coal it is more than probable
that the Pacific liner will overtake her
from which point the two ships will pro-
ceed in consort. Aside from the carrying
of ammunition and supplies to Admiral
Dewey, the Charleston Will prove a valuable
adjunct to his squadron. She will come next
to the Olympia in point of size and effect
iveness. Her crew will consist of about $50
officers and men.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Notwithstand-

bardment of San Juan de Porto Rico and
other sanguinary engagements between
Simpsons battle ships and the Spanish
forces, the Navy Department was in off,
cial ignorance of any such event At the
close of Office hours it was said that moth
ing had been heard from Admiral Samp-
son. Secretary Long remained at his desk
until 5:15 and on leaving sent word that
he had nothing further to make public The
strain of the day had been severe on the
secretary and he went home well nigh ex-
hausted. When the news came tonight he
had retired and was not disturbed. 1t is be-
lieved that there will be difficulty in Ad-
miral Sampson communicating with the de-
partment by cable from st. Thomas and
there are also suggestions that the news
paper dispatch boats accompanying Samp-
sons fleet will be deprived of the use of
the cable also on the pretext that neutral

would be necessary for both the Admiral
and the newspaper men to have recourse

800 miles distant from San Juan. involv-

days in communicating information to the
United States.
Just where the Spanish flying SQUADRON
is still remains in doubt and no word of
official confirmation has come to the Nayv
Department of the Cadiz report of day
before yesterday that the squadron is there.
Still there are enough American scouting
vessels covering the approaches to the West
Indies channel to spot any approaching
Spanish ship in short order. The people on
the New England coast have had their
apprehensions aroused again lest the Span

night, says: admiral Berrnejo

The same correspondent says:
''The government has received in
formation that Admiral Cervera's
voyage to Mar Unique was unevent-
full. The route to be taken to
Porto Rico is not known here, but
it was embodied in Admiral Ger
vera's secret instructions. He was
instructed to coal at neutral port,
and probably selected Fort de
France for that purpose"

TWO BATTLES REPORTED.

MADRID, May II, 8 P. M
The following dispatch has been
received from Havana: "Early
yesterday morning four American
warships fired repeated cannon
shots at Cienfuegos. In the mean
time several steamships towing
eight boats loaded with arms and
ammunition approached the shore.
Several battalions of cavalry on
the shore fired on the boats, which
speedily retreated. At the same
time the batteries on the coast
fired on the Americans, who re-
treated, but attempted again to
make landing on the river Re-
mao. The Spaniards again re-
pulsed them by hot volleys, inflict-
ing heavy losses. Fourteen Span
iards were wounded"
A second dispatch from Havana
says: "At 8 o'clock yesterday
morning three large and three
small American ships appeared off
Cardenas. A small boat was de-
tached, with some marines, who
landed near the fort and seized it.
They also seized the semaphore
station, taking the coast guards
prisoners. In the meanwhile the
war ships began furious cannon
aiding. Cardenas does not possess
defenses of any kind, and only the
little gunboats Ligera and Anto-
uio Lopez were in port. They
replied to the attack. The Anto-
nio Lopez was disabled. Three
hundred volunteers defended the
town, prevented the landing and
compelled the American ships to
retire with considerable loss. A
Spanish sergeant and seven sol
diers were wounded. Captain
General Bianco has congratulated
the authorities of Cardenas."
