Not Believed to Be Dead.
1t is said at the navigation bureau that
there is every reason to believe that these
missing sailors are not dead, or, at least,
not all Of them. The report of Capt. Sperry
of the Yorktown, as supplemented by the
press dispatches, indicated that the ambus-
cade of the Yorktown party took place
close to the town of Baler. At the last
accounts this place was in the possession of
a Spanish garrison, which had withstood
the attack of the Tasals for many months.
Therefore the naval officers here believe
that some of the Yorkt0wn's people sue
ceeded in making their way into the Span
ish lines where they would be well treated,
but would be cut off from communication.
with the outside world for a time. Ad
mirai Dewey is now striving to get into
communication with the garrison at Baler
and clear up all doubt on this subject.
