Spanish War Vessut.
WILMINGTON, Del., March 20. Captain
Steelo, of an oyster schooner now at At
lantic City, told an Interesting story last
evening of an oncountor botween a Spanish
gunboat nnd tho battleship Massachusetts
off that placo on Wednesday. Tho captain
said that while in Atlantio City ho learned
that tho Spanish vessel was off tho const
lylug In vnlt for tho Bermuda, which loft
Wodnosdny morning supposedly with 11
Cuban oxpodltlon. Determined to wltnosa
tho meeting, Captain Steele went out
about twouty miles, where ho saw tho
Spaninrd with Hags flying.
Shortly afterward tlio Massachusetts
hove in sight, Sho had been lylug near
tho capes awaiting favorable weather for
hor builders' trial trip. According to Cap
tain Steelo tho olllcers of tho Spanish ves
sol must havo thought war had boon de
clared, for Immediately on sighting tho
Massachusetts sho hauled down hor ling
and ran away as fast as sho know how.
Tho Massachusetts continued up tho coast
nt a lively gait. An Interesting feature of
tho story is that thoro is not yet any nrmn
mout whatever ou tlio battleship.

Washington, March 20. A telegram

thirty hours tho start ot tho telegram
it Is not oxpectcd that tho steanior will bo
interfered with except by Spnulsh cruisers
when sho arrives In Cuban waters. Tho
telegram says: "If tho vossol Is carrying
an expedition consisting ot arms and men,
selzo her if sho arrives within your juris
diction. Tlio fact that a vessel carries a
cargo of arms Is not sufficient ot Itself to
authorize a seizure."
