who was held in 81 900 bonds to appear for trial
before the Commissioner this morning.
TaIpey's story was one common enough in his

SUMNER GOALS AND SAILS
Drp.RTrRE OF "ENEAIY'S" SQUADRON
FROM TRINIDAD-P0RTO RICO
THREATENED.

Port of Spain. Island of Trinidad. Dec. 4.-The
United States Consul has been authoritative
Informed, through agents. of the departure this
morning of the +enemy's" squadron. Its destina-
ton is uncertain but is believed to be Porto
Rico or Culebra. The ships passed through Boca
Grande going slowly There is no satisfactory in
dication as TO the course the squadron will pur-
sue All the warships had low freehoard, which
is evidence that they well filed with coal and
ammunition A collier carrying 2,5oD tons or
coal discharged its entire cargo into the various
vessels, which also received provisions and am
munition from supply ship.
The enemy is prepared to make dash to
seize base and hold it, and confidence prevails
on board the ships in their success.
There is lighthouse at Boea Grande. me
exit from the gulf. and apprehension was 1eit
that the keeper would communicate with the
United States Consul who would Telegraph TO
Rear Admiral Higginson. commanding the oe-
Tending squadron the course ana speed OF the
enemy" Consequently Admiral Sumner pro-
poses when out of sight of land to ehahge MS
course and speed and then proceed to the port
chosen for the scene of the attack.
1t is often the case that the course OF the
warships is followed by boxes and other refuse
thrown overheard. Therefore Admiral Sumner
has directed that such debris be put in cond1-
ton to sink Immediately when thrown into
the sea or that it be burned.
New code signals for use day and night nave
been arranged in order to prevent their being
read by Admiral Higgnson's scouts.
Though his squadron is stronger than the one
commanded by Admiral CerVera. Admiral sum
ner declares that the problem before him is more
difficult than that Of the Spaniards, as the lat
ter were able to choose ports in CUBA as Weil
as In Porto Rico ana Culebra, Moreover, the
Spaniards moved from the Cape Nerd lslands,
while Admiral Summers command is closer
and is limited in regard to time.
