Cervera's Escape From sampson So
Viewed In Madrid.
Madrid. May 20-At 10 o'clock last
evening the minister Of marine. Cap
tain Aunon. received a dispatch from
Admiral Cervera. in command of the
Cape Verde squadron of the Spanish
fleet. 1t reads:
Santiago de Cuba, May l9.-This
morning / have without incident en-
tered this port, accompanied by the
squadron. CERvERA"
The minister of marine Immediately
went To the residence of Premier Sa-
gasta and communicated the informa-
ton. He then proceeded TO the palace
for the purpose of informing the queen
regent, but her majesty had already
retired and the news was conveyed to
her by Infanta Isabel. Captain Aunon
then went to the admiralty and cabled
his congratulations to Cervera.
In an interview to-day the minister
of marine is quoted as saying:
II am greatly rejoiced at the safe ar
rival of the Spanish fleet at Santiago.
1t is an immense triumph for the Span
ish navy. The sailors who executed
the movement and those who planned
it are worthy of all praise"
A dispatch from Havana says two
American ships bombarded Gautansmo
and adds the Spanish gunboat Santu-
arc and a regiment of troops repulsed
an attempt to land there.
Admiral Cervera. says a cable dis
patch from Santiago de Cuba. did not
sight an American ship during the voy-
age. He announced that the crews of
his ships are in perfect health and en-
thusiasm.
Continuing. the dispatch says: THE
blockading vessels quickly left on the
approach OF the squadron. whose ar
rival has created the greatest excite
ment and enthusiasm at Santiago. I'm
mediately crowds OF people thronged
the quays and cheered our sailors
Havanas relief at the safe arrival of
the fleet is very great. as II was feared
the American ships which left the
blockade there had gone to intercept
the Spanish fleet. II is now believed
the Americans fled in order to avoid a
reverse"

Special Dispatch TO the Standard.
Camp Smith, Helena. May 20.-It now
seems certain that Montana's soldiers
will spend Sunday at Camp Smith. The
time of departure for the Pacific coast
remains shrouded in mystery. Late
this afternoon the following telegram
was received by Colonel Kessler from
Quartermaster Dudley at st. Paul:
Transportation arrangements de-
layed. Will wire you as soon as COM
pleted. Am waiting for reply from
quartermaster general"
All of which is decidedly unsatisfac-
tory to the men comprising the Mon
tana regiment. The people here are
unable TO understand why so much de-
lay should be experienced in arrang-
ing for the transportation of the Mon
tana regiment. while the troops from
all other Western states are on the
way to the coast. Why should the first
regiment in the United States mus
tered in be the last to move? is the
question asked on all sides here.
This evening the following telegram
was received by the commanding Off
Ger from Washington, d. c.:
THE adjutant general informed me
this afternoon that your regiment has
been ordered TO San Francisco for the
Philippines expedition. VIII keep run
of this matter as you request. (signed)
Thomas II. Carter"
This token is satisfactory assurance
that the Montana regiment will be
given the opportunity coveted and will
soon leave for the Pacific coast. At
best it is not thought possible to leave
here before Monday. The contract for
transporting the troops may have been
let to the railroads. but has not yet
been announced from St Paul The
general belief here is that the Northern

of the Spanish squadron in Cuban wat

Cubans with Spain and will prove to
