yesterday by vessel from Santiago de
Cuba, saying the Spanish torpedo boat de-
stroyer Terro (Furor) had been sunk by
an American warshiD.
II appears that the battleship Oregon
saw a long craft sneaking close TO the
shore and heading toward the harbor. She
signaned the craft to turn to and the sig
nails were Improperly answered, whereupon
the Oregon opened fire upon her. A l3-
inch shell struck the torpedo boat amid
ships and she sunk with all hands.
The vessel is supposed TO have been the
Spanish torpedo boat destroyer Terror try
ing to make her way from Porto Rico into
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba to rejoin
the feet Of Admiral Cervera, with which
she arrived at Fort de France, Island Of
Martinique.
The terror was compelled to remain at

Capt Oviedo signified his desire to see
Admiral Sampson personally, and he was
taken on board the flagship.
The enthusiasm as the news spread from
signals from the Vixen was so intense that
the appearance Of the Spanish captain
over the side of the New York hardly ex-
cited the surprise that might have been
expected.
Admiral Sampson greeted Capt Oviedo
most cordially, thanked Admiral Cervera
for his gallant courtesy, and made the pre-
liminary arrangements for the exchange
of Lieut. Hobson and his seven heroes.
However, as they have naturally learned
much about the fortifications, it is hardly
likely that they will be exchanged for
some time After a friendly chat in the
cabin, Admiral Sampson sat on deck with
Capt. Oviedo and pointed out his great
ships with pride
Stores and clothing for the Merrimac
heroes were put aboard the Colon, and
Capt. Oviedo went back in his little black

wound in the cheek, and the other in the

Manila, May %, via Hong Kong, June, g.
Many natives will try to secure the large
reward Spain has offered for the capture
of the insurgent chief. Aguinaldo, dead or
alive. Already several OF the insurgent
officers have been assassinated.
1t is officially declared that four ar
mored cruisers, with golfers, torpedo
boats and transports, carrying 1000
troops, have left Spain for the eastern
waters.
The Spaniards are utterly unimpressed
by the naval defeat here. They explain
that their squadron was vastly outclassed
and are confident of a victory on shore.
They are determined to fight to the end, as
the ships did. Evidently they will never
learn common sense until Manila Is an
initiated by street and house fighting in
the outer city, and by a. bombardment of
the walled citadel
The insurgents raded a railway station
ten miles 10 The north Of Manila, and killed
three priests and an officer.
There has also, been pitched battle
at Spanish post, south of Manila, near
gents retired. The Spanish casualties
were 150
At Manila, the work of constructing de-
fenses goes on, and there are sand bag
breastworks in all directions. The Amer
leans are always using their searchlights,
but they never interfere with the work on
the defenses.
The Spaniards believe they are short of
ammunition. The Governor has issued a
proclamation Offering the natives great
concessions, and declaring that the Amer
leans will be powerless on the land.
Meanwhile, the insurgents are steadily
advancing along the coast, supported by
the United States gunboat Petrol, and are
driving the Spanlards into Manila.
They have captured five important. posi-
tons, nine miles from the city, and oyer
400 Spaniards have been killed.
Four thousand Spanish reinforcements
have been sent, but lt is asserted that
Aguinaldo will enter the city by June y.
