The Oregon and the Furor.

KINGSTON, Ja., June 6.-News has
been received here to-day confirming
the report brought yesterday by yes
sci from Santiago saying the Spanish
torpedo boat destroyer Terror probably
the Furor) had been sunk ty an Amerl-
can warship. 1t appears that the bat
tleship Oregon saw long craft close to
the shore and heading toward the har-
Dor. She signaled the craft to turn to
and the signals were improperly an
swered, whereupon the Oregon opened
fire upon her. A 13-inch she'll struck
the torpedo boat amidships and she
sunk with all hands. The vessel is
supposed to have been trying to make
her way into the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba to Join the fleet of Admiral Ger
vera. 1t is believed the torpedo boat
destroyer sunk may have been the Flu
ror, as the latest reports concerning the
Terror seem to show that she was at
Martinique with her boilers out OF order.
MOLE ST NICHOLAS, Hayti, June g.
-Advices received to-day from the
flagship New York say there is no truth
in the report of the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer Terror having been sunk
by the United States battleship Oregon.
1t is also reported from the flagship
that no further news has been received
from the Merrimao prisoners. A launch
came out from the shore on Sunday
morning under flag of truce and the
Spanish officer who was in charge of the
boat said be thought he saw flag OF
truce flying on board the Iowa. When
the officer discovered bis mistake the
launch returned to Moro Castle.

The protest is based on the fact that il

Hay also recently drew the attention OF
the foreign office to small exportations
from Great Britain of war munitions for

say So, is by no means so plain, especi
alIv as the government is even now en-
gagged in recruiting soldiers in Virginia
