On board the Associated Press dtpatch boat Dauntless, off Santiago de
Cuba. June 5 (Via Kingston, Jamaica, June 6, 10 a. m.) Whether the Ameri
can fleet sank a Spanish torpedo boat destroyer on Friday night has not
1ecn nbsolutelv confirmed. At 10 o'clock Friday night the cruiser New Or
leans discovered what apepared to be a toipedo boat destrojer dose to the
shore and signalled the llagshlp New York that it was evident a night
torpedo attack was to be made Hoth the New York and the New Orleans
opened fire and their shells burst around the daik object. Finally a thli-tecn-lneh
shell from the Massachusetts (not the Oregon, as llrst leported)
was fired and exploded anil the searchlights of the vessels were turned on
the spot where the supposed destroyei had been sighted, but not a trace
of the boat could be found, and It Is belieed aboard the New York that she
had been sunk.
May Have
The first assumption was that the vessel was the Terror, hut It Is be
lieved now that It was the Pluton or the Furor, as the Terror Is not under
stood to have been nt Santiago. On Saturday two Schwarzkopf torpedoes
were found lloatlng two miles south of El Morro This Is the class of tor
pedo used b the Spanish and one of the two found had only the ptactlce
head
Many officers of the lleet believe that a darkened railway train that was
moving nlons the shore was the leal object of the bombardment Instead of
ti destroer. No wreckage has been found, no dead bodies have been no
ticed and It Is possible that the torpedoes were some of those tired at tho
rolller Merrlmac when Lieutenant llobson sunk her, which subsequently
floated outside of the harbor.
Spanish Cruelty.
Admiral Sampson Is determined not to allow the Spanish to remove tho
tderrimnc from the spot where she lies On Saturday It was reported that
thev were worklns at the hull and the American lleet formed in line of
battle, with orders to bombard It turned out that the Spanish were not
lo engaged and the tleet withdrew. Admiral Sampson has given special or
ders that Kl Morro, where the heioes of the Merrlmac are Imprisoned, should
bo snared In the firing. Admiral Cer era's polite assurances were accom
panied bv the statement that Lieutenant Hobson and his men were con
fined there This placing of prisoners In the direct lino of file is denounced
l the American officers ns a thirteenth century defence, an act of Incar
nate cruelty. ,'
General Castillo, commanding the Cuban forces In the west and north
fit the province of Santiago, has been concentrating 4,000 Cubans In the
llclnlty of the city. i

Manila, May 31, via Hong Hong,
June C Spanish outposts have been
driven in all along the line simulta
neously. Great sluughter of Spunluids.
Over 10,000 have been killed. Fierce
hand-to-hand fighting for seventy

miles of tho city.
A Spanish regiment mutinied and

Insui gents and tho Spanish troops Is
frequent, und the former bi ought a
thousand ptlsoners to Cavlte. Tho
Americans, it Is reported, at Manila,
assist the insurgents with boats and
machine guns.
The Swift repeats n rumor that the
Insurgents had captuicd and tortured
a number of prlestH. The Rtltish lesl-
ilent-j. nt the time the Swift left, still
remained In Manila, but the forelgnet3

London, .Tunc 7. The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Standard says:
"Advices fiom Manila say that Ad
mix al Dewev has gathered the steam
ers now blockading the rher to He oft
Cavlte In readiness to receive foreign
ers. The Spaniards are losing aims,
ammunition and field pieces almost
dolly, so peislstent are the lebel at
tacks. The natives are flocking to
Agulnaldo's standard. He -is. on the
whole, conducting the campaign on
humane ptlnclples.
"In the coutse of a pitched battle
on May 30, a number of tho native aux
Ilarles deserted tho Spanish colots for
the Insurgents. Judging from the gen
eral tenor of the news from Manila
there is reason to believe that the city
will fall into Dewey's hands before the
arrival of the American troops."

INSURGENTS DOING A
RUSHING BUSINESS -NO NEWS
FROM SANTIAGO.
Washington. Juno C After n lot of
conflicting rumors of naval engage
ments, the landing of troops and such
tratters nt the navy department, there
came at the close of the day one Im
portant bit of news embodied In a re
pcit fiom Admlinl Dewev of Import
ant successes achieved by tho Insur
gents at Manila Tho oPlcluls have
been more anxious than they cured to
betray as to Admiral Dewev 'h condi
tion. They were not serlouslv uppie
henslve of personal danger to tho fleet,
but nu Impression was gaining ground
that the admiral had not maintained
the some measure h of success in his
operations In Manila bay that re
warded his fit st effort Now, the re
port received coes to sho that his
plans nre working out admirably, that
ho has succeeded .In placing upon tho
Insurgents tho burden of conducting
military operations ag.ilnat tho Span
lards w hlle he himself Is Iv lng In en-
foiced Idleness awaiting tho ni rival of
troops, and that he hnn sure ceded In
pteventlng the coiruptlon of the In
sui gent leaders by the Spaniards,
which appeared at one time to be
threatening.
INSURGENi S' PRISONERS.
There Is sonu speculation here by
anxious minds as to how tun Insur
gents will treat the prlsonern they
have taken who ate moie numerous. It
Is snlri than all the captuies made by
the Cuban Insurgents since their war
began It was reported by cable, soon
after he had secured the co-operation
of the Insurgent chief. Agulnaldo, that
Admiral Dewey would sec to It that
the Insurgents observed the rules of
civilized wnifare. This caution was
made nccessiry by the tenible tales
that hail been circulated of the bar
barous treatment of prisoners captured
by the Insurgents It Is sincerely hoped
that Asulnaldo will see to It that this
agreement Is observed in tne case of
the 1.S00 prisoners he now holds, for It
Is believed In official elides that the
nations of the civilized woill will hold
the United States morally responsible
for any great excesses that may be
committed In the Philippines as a le
sult of our action there. The nav y de
partment officials declare that Dewev
Is not restionslble foi the safe-keeping
and maintenance of these pilsoners,
w hlch is most fortunate considering
the limited resources of the admiral In
the mutter of provisions'..
ANOTHER SHIP FOR DEWDY.
The navy depattment gave orders to
dav that th- double tuireted monitor
Monndnock. now at Mare island Cal
should bo made ready to sail for Man

ordeis weie hurriedly telegraphed. Tho
Monterey will not wait for the com
pany of the Monndnock, but should be
oft In the couise of a few hours under
the convoy cf the Rrutus. The navy
depnitment will Immediately procure
another merchant ship to accompany
the Monadnock on her fi.OOO miles vo.v
age The Munadnoek is a most power
ful double turretcil monltot. With the
Monterey and Monadnock. Admiral
Dewev will b fully able to take care of
himself even should the much-tulked-of
Cadiz fleet undeitake to nttack him in
Manila harbor The monitors at their
maximum, chaw only 16'4 feet of water,
or 10 feet less than the Spanish battle
bhlp Polayo, and theiefore vould he
nble to pick a nosltion In the shnllow
water where the Snanlsh battleship
could not possibly loach them and ham
mer away at the lattei to their heart's
content, off ei lng themselves so small a
mark as to render It very difficulty for
the Spanish gunnei.s to reply effective
ly. There Is no doubt entertained of
the Miinadnnck's sea-worthiness, for
befoie being leconstjucted at tho Mare
Island navy vard, rhe made the entire
voage from the Delawaie river clear
around the Hoin to San Francisco, a
voj-gc longev really than that made by

CVD1Z KI.'.F.T.
That Cadiz lleet which was reported
to 1 doing strange things in tho West
Indies jesteidny Is not giving the na
val officials any concern. They have
learned thiough the state department
that tho Spanish ships weie at Cadiz
Inst Friday u they could not well have

Up to the close of office hours it could
not be learned nt the war or navy de

Auxiliary Crntie r Irom Santiago Tolls
of Sighting nnd Kscnps of a
Torpedo Uout Deslrorer.
Key 'West, Fin., June 6. An auxil
iary cruiser of the United States fleet
which left Santiago de Cuba at 1
o'clock Saturday morning came In here
this afternoon for coal. Shi; had been
In Santiago waters since Wednesday
morning, but saw nothing In the na
ture of a bombardment.
She lepnrts, however, that on Fri
day night, when about a mile from
shore, what was thought to be a Span
ish torpedo boat was sighted, head
ing for the ciulser. Three or four
ships immediately opened a heavy lire
upon her and when the smoke cleared
away the torpedo boat had disap
peared, having app.uently put back
Into the harbor. Apart from the sink
ing of the Merrlmac in the channel of
Santiago de Cuba by Lieutenant Hob
son and his gullant companions, this
torpedo attack was the only occur
rence con g within the knowledge of
the ofllceis of the cruiser.
The latter say the sunken collier ef
fectually blocks the channel Their
version of the affair Is similar to the
reports on the subject cabled to the
Associated Press They add that when
Captain Oviedo, Admiral Cervern's
chief of staff, went out to the flag
ship New Yotk under a flag of truce
to obtain clothing and provisions for
the prisoners, he remained on boaid
the New York for three hours nnd
effusively cnngintulnted the American
officers on the gallantry of the ciew
of the Merrlmac. Captain Oviedo ex
pressed his admiration of the daring
of the Amei leans, and said he had nev
er seen nnythlng to equal It. All of
the Americans were unlnlured, he ex
plained, nnd nil they needed wns money
nnd clothing, which were sent to them.
The American officers who saw the
Merrlmnc's perilous adventuie say It
Is a wonder uny one on board ascaped.
While off Santiago de Cuba the of
ficers of the cruiser recognized the
Spanish armored cruiser, Cristobal
Colon, nnd they also saw two other
ships of Identical appearance In the
harbor of Santiago de Cuba.
