the powers of such vessels, especially
in open sea. Under cover of night they
may sneak UP on an enemy and work
great destruction, but Sampson is too
shrewd a dog to give them that ad-
vantage. In open day these boats are
an easy prey to any small rapid-fire
guns that can reach them, because they
are practically without armor.
The American cruisers are counted
on to turn storm of steel on the de-
stroyers If they attempt to take part
il the fight, and under that fierce fire
the small, unarmored craft will be
sent to the bottom Of the sea before
they can do any damage. If by any
chance they should happen TO have
the advantage of darkness, that same
darkness may protect the Americans,
and, in the event Of the worst, Amer
lean vigilance and searchlights are eX-
pected to be equal to the occasion.
Such are the views of naval men in
Washington. Sampson has the fight
still before him, and they are confident
he and his ships will not disappoint
the American people.

Yet Spain Cannot Hope to- Win Over
the influential.
LONDON, May 22.-The Madrid cor
respondent Of the Times, commenting
on the situation in Cuba, says:
whether any large number of in
surgents will ever fight for the Ameri-
cans is considered extremely doubtful,
but. despite Spain's hope, it is equally
doubtful whether Gen. Maxtmo Gomez
and the other influential insurgent
leaders will boldly declare against
American annexation.
"All that can be said with certainty
is that the cabinet at Washington has
not found, and canont count upon, the
efficient assistance from the insurgents
which it evidently expected when it
rushed into war without having an
army Of occupation ready.
"Since the ministry has been recon-
structed. publicity and prominence are
being given by leading organs to GER
tain movements of troops which seem
to indicate an intention to warn all
whom it may concern that, Spain is
ready to resist any unjustifiable
schemes Of aggression, from whatever
quarter they may come. These move
ments have reference to the idea that
Spain may be helpful to the powers
in the event of any combination against
an Anglo-SaXon alliance"

MADRID, May 22.-Capt. Deschamps,
Of the Spanish auxiliary cruiser Mont
serrat, which arrived unexpectedly at
Corunna, Friday evening, from Glen
fuegos, having escaped the American
blockading ships, reached Madrid this
afternoon. In spite Of the existing
state of siege immense crowds awaited
his coming in the approaches to the
railway station. The station, the pal
ace and other prominent places were
cordoned by police. 9-s
The populace welcomed the captain
with the widest enthusiasm, and the
police surrounding the carriage in
which he rode were scarcely able to re-
strain the surging crowd from unhar-
Messing the horses. 1r
Capt. Deschamps was driven to the
Plaza de Independence, to- the resi-
dence Of Marquese Comillas. It is re-
ported that he has brought dispatches
from Gen. Blanco for Senior Sagasta.
There was no disturbance Of order.

of the tender, which was instantly
thrown from the track. The engine

Fireman Hickey was buried under

1t was three hours before his body

badly scalded, but lived until he had
been removed to the receiving hospital.

Many of the passengers in the smoker
were more or less injured by being
thrown against the seats or by bits of
broken glass, but none was seriously
injured.
Aside from the death Of Fireman

his last run for the day, and that his

nuded of its most efficient vessels by
Admiral Simpsons abortive raid on
San Juan de Porto Rico.
"The high speed of the Spanish
cruiser squadron so far has not been
turned to any account, and. although
it's arrival at Santiago de Cuba may
have some moral value in assuring the
Cuban garrisons that they are not
abandoned. no naval object seems to
have been attained. The United States
commanders now know where the en-
emy Is and have had time to concen-
trate superior forces and to cover their
vulnerable points"
Discussing the problem Of blockade
of Admiral Cervera at Santiago de
Cuba or an attempt to force him to
give battle, the Times article says:
THE United States commanders pos
sess ample forces, but night and the
speed Of the Spanish cruisers will give
them chances to escape. The result
will be watched with much interest
The defenses of Santiago are probably
no more effective than those of Ma
nila
ITO take the United States cruisers
into this harbor, in case Of a powerful
opposition from Cervera's force, would
be risky operation, but a torpedo
f1otilla, If it existed in either force,
might find opportunities for effective
employment.
IF Admiral Cervera succeeds in get
ting to sea and obtaining coal. he will
unquestionably hamper the Cuban
blockade. although he can obtain no
direct advantage. 1t is evident that
the monitors greatly delay Admiral

imposes heavy disabilities upon

they leave the port. is urgently need
ed Failing such a force, there ap-
pears to be no reason why Admiral
Cervera should not steam to San Juan
de Porto Rico. coal and go to sea
again before he could be overtaken.
A recent report confirms the existence
Of large quantity of coal at San Juan,
and, If Admiral Cervera can avail him
self Of this supply, and leave behind
his torpedo craft, he would be able to
reach Charleston or Savannah without
difficulty.
"a raid on either Of these points
would have no important results, but
| it would gravely interfere with the op-
erations of the blockade. Reviewing
| the whole field Of operations, the most
important lesson is the effect produced
by the presence Of a small, compact,
high-speed squadron, which, however,
hitherto has been somewhat aimlessly
employed. From the moment it was
known that this squadron had arrived
off Martinique all the plans Of the
United States board Of strategy were

SAN FRANCISCO. May 22.-The
Charleston is we'll on her way to Ma
Mia.
The United States cruiser passed
through the Golden Gate at 6:2O this
morning. after having been anchored
in the stream all night.
She adjusted her compasses at an
early hour and then passed up the bay
through Raccoon straits. and passed
yhe docks on the northern frontage of
the city.
Every steam vessel in the harbor blew
au revoir to Capt. Glass and his crew.
None of the forts in the harbor saluted
the vessel, but the demonstration made
by the 5000 soldiers gathered at the
Presidio was tremendous. When the
vessel was sighted. coming down the
bay, the soldiers gathered on the beach
to bid her bon voyage. They lined the
beach for mile, and cheer upon cheer
rang out from the men who are to
soon follow the Charleston to the scene
of Admiral Dewey's triumph. The
Charleston's big siren answered the
boys on the beach time and again, and
the whistling was heard from one end
of the city to the other.
Never has war vessel leaving this
harbor received such a send-off as was

KEY WEST, May 22.-Gustavo Aran-
guren, brother of the late Cuban in
surgent general, Nestor Aranguren, to-
day received letters from Havana, via
Vera Cruz, dated May 7, stating that
Gen. Blanco's orders impressing all Gu
bans into the Spanish army have had
the effect of driving many into the in
surgentS' ranks.
A. Betancourt, an American citizen,
and Gonzalez Arrange, the letters state,
have been arrested and confined in the
Cabanas fortress, on charges Of aiding
the insurgents.
The destitution in Havana is fright
full, and is increasing. The grocers, all
of whom are Spaniards, refuse to sell
food to the Cubans, as If determined
to starve them. The Cubans say the
Spaniards hate them more than they
do the Americans.
Senor Aranguren's correspondents
declare that the Spaniards realize that
Cuba is lost, but that, before yielding
the island, they will endeavor to exter-
inmate the Cubans.

was given to him to manage the sail.
The trio made their way to near Camp

with their oars, and in their endeavors
they capsiZed the craft The occupants
