Takcn by Surprise.

Takcn ny Surprise.
London. May 3.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of h Daily Mail says: II is
suggested that the half-breeds at the
Manila arsenal. who are rebels at heart,
cut the cables connecting with the SUBJ
marine mines and thus enabled Com
modore Dewey TO force the harbor in
safety. No real bombardment will be
necessary to destroy Manila. IL the shells
are of such a description as will set
houses on fire. the bulk of which there
are of wood and bamboo. The only
public buildings are built OF stone while
the brick-built old town Is incapable of
resisting artillery.
Captain Cadarzo of the cruiser Reina
Maria Christiana. who was killed on
the bridge of his vessel, was one Of the
most brilliant officers in the Spanish
navy. His ship was a model of order
and efficiency. II appears that Admiral
Montejo was taken altogether by sur
prise and the Spanish authorities were
nearly In a state of utter u~nreadiness.

A Movement on some Cuban Port Has

A Movement On some Cuban Port Has

patch Boat Dauntless, via Key West.
Fla. May "A demonstration by the
feet of the coast of Cuba Is hardly ex-
pected to-day, but 1t is understood a
movement has been planned. A howl
ing gale is now blowing and the sea is
running high.
There was a long conference on board
the flagship New York yesterday be-
tween Rear Admiral Sampson, Captain
Evans Of the Iowa. Captain Taylor of
the Indiana and Captain Chadwick Of
the New York, the purpose of which
could not be ascertained.
Early yesterday morning the New
York steamed to the westward past
Havana, which was in plain view from
the vessel and picked up the Indiana
Inc then the Iowa, taking the COM
manders Of both ship aboard. Tugs
were then sent out, calling in other ves-
sells OF the fleet in that vicinity. and at
noon the following ships were lying off
the batteries west of Havana and
within eight miles Of the shore: Flag
ship New York, the battleships Iowa,
Indiana, the cruisers Detroit and Mar
blehead, the gunboats Castine. May

There were also four newspaper dis
patch boats in close proximity, all the
vessels being within a radious OF 1000
yards and plainly visible from the
shore. There was every indication that
a concerted movement of some kind was
in contemplation and those on the flag
ship who were ignorant OF the object
of the conference confidently expected
that the recent bombardment of the
Spanish batteries at Matanzas and the
firing upon a troop of Spanish cavalry
at Cabanas were to be repeated upon
the formidable batteries near Havana.
The weather conditions, however. are
anything but favorable for an attack
for a 4O-knot gale was blowing and the
wave were tremendous. Even the big
battleships were unsteady, the smaller
vessels being tossed about like shells
with every wave But after the ships
had remained in this position for sew
eral hours it became evident that nc
immediate movement was contem-
plated.
The flagship finally drew away from
the others and steamed slowly past
Moro castle without incident. The re-
mainder of the feet then opened on,
and returned to the. various stations
along the coast.
News of the engagement between the
United States and Spanish fleets al
Manila had not yet reached the CUBA
bIockading squadron. but they probably
will be advised of il this morning 10y
vessels which left here during the
night.
