into port Sunday with a great hole IN

a horse and wagon might have been

been in collision with the British steam

during thick fog while cruising off
Fire island. The Foscolia was sunk,
but the officers and crew, numbering
81, were saved and brought to port by
the Columbia. Not life was lost and
nobody was injured. The exact amount
Of damage TO the Columbia will not be
known until the cruiser has been
placed In dry dock.

SPANS Flying Squadron Effectua-

Ne Possibility OF It's Escape-Must
Either Fight or Surrender
Discovered by schley's
Keen Strategy.

Key West, Fla, May a1.-Eyerybody
Knows now that Spain's flying squad
ron, four splendid cruisers and two tor
pedo boat destroyers. Is imprisoned in
Santiago harbor. This fact has been
known here many hours, and the specu-
huon now Is over the probable dispo-
dtion OF the Spaniards-whether they
will be blockaded or the forts reduced
and the vessels compelled to fight. In
the latter case there can be but one re-
suit, forCommodore Schley has some Of
the finest ships In the world, TO say
nothing Of cruisers and various smaller
vessels, and could in few days be reen-
forced by other powerful warships. II
would be foolhardiness on the part OF
Cervera to offer battle.

THE ATTACK BY LAND.
Commodore schley-Four Separate
Expeditions to he Landed.

Washington, May 31.-The military
invasion Of Cuba has begun. Unless
the orders of the war department mis-
carried at an early hour the troops that
have been gathered at the Gulf ports
began to break camp and march aboard
transports waiting 10 carry them to the
enemy's territory. About 20 of these
ships. the biggestand fastest that could
be obtained for the purpose, had been
gathered ready TO receive the troops.
They will accommodate about 10000
men.
The movement, in all probability. IL
intended TO cooperate with Commodore
6chley in dislodging or destroying the
Spanish feet at Santiago de Cuba. The
purpose Of the war department Is said
10 be TO effect landing in the inn
mediate vicinity OF Santiago and 70
capture the hills commanding the har-
Dor by land operations, while Schley
prevents the Spanish fotilla from es.
Gaping by sea.
1t is probable that there will be no
less than four separate military expe-
ditions, and that these will be landed
at four different points. Before the en-
tire force which II is proposed TO use
In Cuba can be landed the transports
must make four separate voyages
across the straits. Arrangements have
been made TO utilize the services OF the
insurgents to the utmost possible ex'
tent. The government already has sent
expeditions to large number Of points
on the island and landed arms for the
insurgents, most Of the parties sue
ceedng perfectly in their object, andii
