Admiral Sampson'* Flagship New York, Backed by ilie Monitor Puritan and the <'rtii*er Cincinnati, Fired on hy Shore ; Baft eric*. Gallantly Sail* Ititotlie Harbor aiul Batters the Fort* to Pieces—First Battle for Cuba Libre a Victory. Key West. Fla., May 5. Admiral Simpson has bombarded, silenced, and pretty well destroyed the Spanish batteries 1 in position and in course of construction at, the entrance of the harbor of Matanza.s. He did it with the flagship New York, the monitor Puritan and the cruiser Cin -1 iuuati. Not one of the American ships was struck, the Spanish gunnery being wild. I here are no means of knowing the number of dead and wounded on the Span ish side. It must be considerable. While the New York, Puritan and C'tn einati were reconnoitering in force for the purpose of locating and destroying the for midable defences being constructed, the flagship was fired on by t te batteries on Point Uubalcava and Point .Maya, guard ing the entrance to the harbor. The New York replied, firing her forward 8-inch gun on the port side. She steamed boldly in between the batteries and soon blazed away with both broadsides at them. The Puritan steamed in behind the New York and engaged the fortification on Point Maya, while the New York went to star* board close tip to the land and poured her shells into Rubalcava. The Cincinnati, which had remained well astern under 01- dcrs, signalled for permission to engage, ami received it, and soon was tiling her guns at the fort on the west side of the ' ' 'j| ADMIRAL SAMPSON. The batteries fired explosive shells, and most of them fell wide of the mark. One burst just beyond the stern of the New York and a grapnel shot exploded above licr. It took the three ships just eighteen minutes to silence the batteries. The last shot that, was fired by the Spanish came from Point Rubal Caya. The Puritan re plied with one of her 12-inch guns. The shell struck the battery with wonderful ac ciiraev and blew up a portion of it. After waiting in vain for the Spanish to renew the engagement the ships withdrew, leaving both batteries in ruins. Garcia soi/.e* a ( uliihi Town. Key West, Fla. General Calixto Garcia, lho insurgent commander, has occupied the town of Bnyaino. It is situated sixty miles imrihwasL of Santiago de Cuba, and lias a population of seven thousand in times of peace. General Garcia issued a proclama tion declaring that the property of Span iards and tlu ir civil rights would be re spected, with the result that business went on as usual and tranquility prevails there. Mil Bit A Great Naval Battle Fought Off the Harbor of Manila Sunday Morning. A HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE. The Two Principal Spanish Warships Burned and a Large Cruiser Blown Up. The United State* Asiatic Squadron, Under Command ot Commodore Dewey, En gaged and Completely Defeat* Spain'* Philipine Squadron—Several of the Span ish Ships Sunk to Prevent Their Falling Into the Hand* of the Americans. COMMODORE DEWET. London, May 6.—The United States squadron in Asiatic waters completely de feated the Asiatic squadron of Spgin in the harbor of Manila, in the Philippine Islands, Sunday morning. All the news of the great naval battle thus far received is coming from Spanish sources. This shows conclusively that Manila has not yet been taken by the American forces and that the cable lines are still under the control of Spain. From the fact that even the advices re ceived from Madrid show that the Ameri can warships fared the best, there is hard ly any doubt that when complete details are obtainable it will be learned that it was a crushing defeat for Spain. During the two engagements that took place Commodore Montojo, commanding the Spanish fleet, lost three of his largest aliips. His flagship, the steel cruiser Reina Christina, and the armored cruiser Castilla were burned, and the cruiser Don Juan de Austria was blown up. The other Spanish vessels were badly damaged. One report adds that several of the ships were sunk by their commanders to prevent their falling into the hands of the Americans. There was a heavy loss of life among the Spanish. Captain Cadarso, commanding the Reina Christina, was killed. Commo dore Montojo, commanding the fleet, shift ed his flag from the Reina Christina to the Isla de Cuba, a much smaller steel protect ed cruiser, just before the Christina sank. The blowing up of the Don Juan de Aus tria was attended by great loss of life among the crew, her commander also being killed. Commodore Dewey's squadron, leaving Subig Bay, a few miles from Maniia, about four o'clock Saturday afternoon, proceeded toward Manila. Under the cover of dark ness ho entered the harbor, the batteries located there announcing his arrival. Both fleets lined up for battle about day break Sunday morning. The guns of the American war ships began firing 011 the fortress of Cavite and the arsenal of Manila. Under the protection of the guns of these fortifications the Spanish warships opened fire 011 the American fleet. For several hours the harbor resounded with the roar of guns, the crashing of steel and timbers, the shrieks and groans of the wounded. A well directed shot reached the iron cruiser Don Juan de Austria, a vessel of eleven hundred tons. A terrific explosion j followed and the ship was blown up | The American squadron about nine o'clock drew off to the west side of the hay and took refuge behind some foreign ship- I ping. The ships had evidently suffered i considerable damage. After some hasty | repairs they returned to the conflict. Dur ing this engagement the guns of Cavite ! maintained a steadier and stronger fire up- I on Commodore Dewey's ships than in the I first engagement, but the American guns j were being used with telling effect. As the smoke lifted it was seen that the flagship Reina Christina was on fire. The , vessel was completely burned. The cruiser : Castilla, next to the flagship the largest and most powerful of the Spanish squad* ron, was also burned. The cruiser Don Antonio de Clio and the Mindanao were also badly damaged in this encouter. 1 That the American squadron received severe damage in the engagement cannot 1 be doubted. Early reports had it that live ■ of Commodore Dewy's ships had been sunk. Later advices from Madrid put the 1 number at two. 1 There were undoubtedly heavy losses in 1 men on both sides. Due apparently trust worthy report states that the Spaniards had two hundred killed and four hundred ' wounded. | Trustworty details of the American loss of life will hardly be obtainable until Com modore Dewey lias taken Manila or has sent a vessel with despatches to Hong I Kong. Cut OfT New* for Havana. Key West, Fla.—The Engraciawas cap l tared off Cabanas, not off Cardenas. She had on board a crew of seven men and a cargo of fish. The men had been in the Spanish Navy. The officers of the, New port say the capture is an important one . because the little vessel was attempting to I carry into Havana news of tin. movement I of the United Sutea fleet. f CRISIS IN MADRID."** 1 Martial Un Proclaimed in the Spanliib Capital. Madrid, May s.—The Civil Governor has just caused to be posted 011 the walls of the Home Office a proclamation intimating that the civil officials have transferred the con trol of the capital to the military authori ties, who are now responsible for the main tenance of order. General Daban, commander of the First Army Corps, has therefore .assumed the reins. Military patrols are out, and the police and gendarmes are also under mili tary control. This measure is the direct result of the at titude of the Carl ists and Republicans. The spirit of false elation, based 011 the Ministerial misrepresentations regarding the battle at Manila, has yielded to great indignation now that the facts are seen in their true perspective. The people have become fully aware that the Spanish squad ron lias been lost and that the situation is hopeless. They expect momentarily to hear that Manila has been captured and that the Philippine islands are in the hands of the enemy. .A nut Iter Large Prize. Key West, Fla.—The gunboat Nashville, that fired the first shot ot' the war when she captured the But-uu Ventura, is now coming to Key West to report the capture of a valuable Spanish mail steamer. On boarding the prize the Nashville found that she was the Argonauta, a mail steamer from Havana, hound to Cienfuegos with mails, despatches, etc. Among the passen gers were General Vincente tie Cortejo and his staff, in all ten officers, with 100 sol diers and ordinary passengers to the num ber of two boatloads, men, women and children, say thirty in all. They were put ashore, but the General and his staff were detained as prisoners of war. Spain'* Floet May Interrupt t lie Oregon. Washington, 1). C.—The naval experts have reached the conclusion that the Span ish fleet which sailed from Cape Verde Islands last week is bound for the north coast of South America, its chief purpose being to intercept the Oregon and the Marietta, which were joined by the Nicthe roy, the torpedo cruiser purchased of the Brazilian Government Plans are being devised to head off the Spanish warships and give them a battle they are not count ing upon. XewftpHp<*i-M Cry for Hoveiige. Madrid.—The newspapers express a de termination to avenge the defeat of the Spanish fleet. The conduct of the Span ish Admiral in sinking the remnant of his fleet in order to prevent its capture is high ly extolled by the press. The Imparcial advises the Government to arm all the available shipping and convert the vessels into an auxiliary fleet for the purpose of capturing and destroying American mer chant vessels. Two Maxim Guns for the Yule. New Haven, Conn.—The committee in charge of the fund v/hich is being raised among the Yale men to purchase a gift for the cruiser Yale announced that it has de cided to present to the cruiser two Maxim guns. It is understood that a fund of $5,- 000 will be raised. One-half of this sum has already been subscribed. Cable to Manila Han Keen Cut.

AMERICANS IN PERIL. The British Consul in ClenfuiM Cable* for i a Steamer to Take Them Away. Kingston. Jamaica —The British Consul in Clenfuegos. Cuba, has cabled to Mr. Dent the United States Consul here, asking him to send a steamer j there to take off citizens of the United ; States who were unable to get away when Consul General Lee departed. He j states that their lives are in danger. I Ho declares that Owen McGarr, who was Consul at Clenfuegos, did not give sufficient notice to his fellow country- j men. He asks that they be taken to Jamaica or a United States port. Mr. Dent is as yet unable to charter j a ship. He has asked his State De- ! partrneut for authority, but has re ceived no reply. Spanish Credit is KxliHiinted. Washington, D. C.—Spain's financial I condition is a matter for worry in Madrid and a matter of satisfaction in Washington. Official information has reached the State Department from its representa tives in Europe that notwithstanding the strenuous efforts made by the Sagasta Ministry to negotiate a loan, absolute failure has been the result. Furthermore, the officials have been informed that Spain can get no credit, although she had endeavored to buy supplies on time. This information is of the utmost Importance and the poverty of Spain will undoubtedly have a great effect in hastening the war. Of course, the authorities do not anticipate the early I close of the struggle, for they believe It will last many months, but they ap preciate that it will be impossible for Spain to long continue the fighting without funds. Spain Kead.v to Mnke for Peace. Madrid—Senor Silvela, in a speech which has made a profound impres sion and is regarded as marking a turning point in Spanish politics, de clared that as the Cuban problem was now reduced to a question of "honor for the Spanish arms." it behooved Ministers to assume without hesitation the responsibility of deciding when the point of honor had been sufficiently satisfied. When that time had been reached, he said, it would be time to appeal to the European powers so that they could decide what ought to ha done to restore peace and determine the fate of Cuba, because all the pow ers were interested in Cuba's future. Post offices Will Sell Bonds. Washington, D. C.—The Revenue 1)111, which was passed by the House of Representatives last week and will probably become a law within the next ten days, authorizes loans aggregating $<500,000,000. It is the intention of the administration to make this a genuine popular loan, as far as is possible. The bonds are to be sold through the post offices, and every effort will be made by the government to put them in the hands of the people rather than ! of the banks. | Cuban Cenoml to .loin tlic Admiral. Key West, Fla. —General Emilio Nu nez, the noted Cuban leader, arrived here on his way to meet Admiral Sampson.' He comes on an important mission and probab'y will be sent out to the fleet on one of the torpedo boats. He probably will land in the night on the coast of Cuba. His staff offl ' cerß will accompany him. Senor Jose d'Armas, a secret agent of the Cuban Junta, is here on other business con nected with the insurgent army. Capo Verde Fleet to Bombard Our Portr. Paris—The Eclair reports that an Autonomist Deputy to the Spanish Cortes, from Havana, says: "The Spanish squadron which has just left St. Vincent contemplates the bombardment of an American port. "It is not likely that there will be a fight in Cuban waters, Havana be ing amply fortified to resist the Ameri ; can fleet." Mud rid 1* Excited. . Madrid—The town is greatly excited by the serious news from the Phillip pines, and there is an immense gather ing in the Calle de Sevilla. The civil guards on horseback were called out to preserve order, and all precautions have been taken. There is much mut tering. but up to the present nothing serious has occurred. VgiCHlltH Not Cut to Dentil. Key West, Fla.—There is no truth whatever in the report of the execu tion last evening of Jose Yglesias, who is under surveillance on the monitor Puritan as the result of suspicious be havior near one of the magazines last Wednesday evening. ! He has not even been placed on trial. " And Then IflU Pipe Went Out." Havana, Cuba.—lt is rumored that Gen eral Parr ado lias finished a complete plan for reconquering Florida. It will be presented to the other generals for their opinions be fore it goes to General Blanco for final ap proval. Part of the army is being organ ized for the invasion of Florida. Another I.Ruriiog Mti<leiti Cuba. Tampa, Fla.—Lieutenant Whitney, Uni ted States Army, landed near Caibarien two (lays ago for the purpose of interview ing General Maximo Gomez to arrange for the co-operation of the insurgent forces with our troops. I'roxhlfMit Will Itncugnixe Culiuii ltcpuhlic ! Washington, 1).

St. John's, N. F.—The British cruisers Cordelia and Pelicaa have been ordered to Newfoundland waters to -cope with any 1 emergency that may arise if the Spanish I ' warships should visi: this coast for coal. fiiipir Those Are the Ordess of Ad miral Sampson from the War Department. REDUCE HAVANA LATER. Invasion of Cuba Delayed Until the War Ships Which Sailed from St. Vincent Are Disposed Of. Attack Planned Before They Reach a Coal- Station The Armored Vessel* ot the Blockading Squadron, Reinforced by the Plying Squadron, Now Preparing for the Naval Battle That Will Follow Ocean Scouts' Report*. Washington, D. C., May s.—Spain's fleet in the Atlantic must be annihilated before an attempt is made to capture Havana. This is the conclusion arrived at by the War Board, and it is probable that the naval engagement will be fought between tlie Spanish fleet now on its way across the Atlantic and the armored vessels of Ad miral Sampson's command, reinforced by Commodore. Schley's flying squadron, be fore any steps are taken to land an army of invasion on the island of Cuba. The policy of the administration will be to make the campaign against Havana short and decisive. In order to do this an ade quate land force must have the co-opera tion of all of the armored vessels that can be brought into service for the bombard ment of Morro Castle and the other de fences of Havana Harbor. With Spain's fleet rapidly steaming west w.trd, there would not be time to reduce Havana before that fleet must be met. With this fleet once swept from the Atlan tic Admiral Sampson could concentrate for the attack upon Havana an overwhelming force. Captain Sigsbee, of the St. Paul, and Captain Wise, of the Yale, have the ad vantage of knowing the direction in which the Spanish fleet sailed, and this will be of great advantage to them in locating it upon the ocean, as its approximate speed is known and its probable location at any given hour can be figured out. As soon as one of the auxiliary vessels sights the fleet and ascertains its location and direction the commanding officer will proceed with all speed to the nearest cable station and communicate with Washington. The movements of the lighting fleet un der Admiral Sampson wdl be governed by this information. It will be his object to give the enemy battle Defore they can reach either a coaling base or strike any Ameri can point toward which they may be headed. If two of the scouting vessels should fall in with the fleet about the same time it will be the duty of one of them to keep in touch with the enemy and report any change of direction that may be made after the first vessel has left. No fear is felt for the safety of the scouts, as they are | all fast enough to get out of the way of the fleet if an attempt should be made to at tack them. The Pari* Outwits Spain. New York, May 4.—The fleet American auxiliary cruiser Paris, which the Span iards hoped to capture, steamed proudly up the bay Saturday morning with all her flags flying. She looked as if confident that the reception she would receive would be a hearty one. The steamer was sighted off Fire Island at 2.47 o'clock, and the ob server hastened to telegraph the news to the tens of thousands who he knew were eager to hear from the crack liner. Port Culmiinai Shelled. Key West, Fla.. May 4.—Rear Admiral Sampson, with his flagship the New York, has shelled and battered into fragments the fortifications of Port Cabanas, thirty five miles west of Havana. The fort had fired on the Kriccson and Porter, and the bombardment was for the purpose of silencing the place. It took them only i fifteen minutes to turn the fortifications in to a mass of debris. Atone time the bom bardment of Havana was imminent. Spain Sees Iluln Unless Europe Saves Ker. Madrid.—Spain will bend her every en ergy to postpone as long as possible the defeat she knows is inevitable. Her only hope now is 10 prolong the struggle, for the sake of inducing Europe's interference. She thinks that by a heroic resistance in the face of great odds she may excite such admiration and sympathy as will impel the monarchies to save her from extinction by the great American Republic. The Terror'* Superb Aim. Key West, Fla.—The Terror has made another important capture. It is the Span ish steamer Guido, bound from Coruna to Havana with a cargo of provisions and money for the Spanish army. Her crew numbers thirty-five men. When the Ter ror fired a blank shot the Guido put out all her lights and tried to run away. Four shots were fired from the Terror's 0- pounders, all of which hit the ship. Kpanlnti Spy Caught on the St. Paul. Philadelphia, I'a.—One of the crew of the St. Paul, which is being fitted out as an auxiliary cruiser at ('ramp's ship yard,was detected in trying to gain admission to the magazine room of the vessel and is now lying in double irons. He was first no ticed acting suspiciously 011 one of the coal bunkers and a guard was placed over him. When searched drawings of the vessel were found spcreted about his clothes Vienna'* l>e*pond*nt Vlaw of Manila Defeat Vienna.—A very despondent view has been taken here since the Manila defeat. It is believed that the Spanish dynasty is Hearing its end, and great sympathy is expressed for the Queen Regent in her dire trouble. The lleutsch Zeitung thinks it possible that Germany will secure the Philippines in return for renouncing her claims upon Samoa. AN OPEN LETTER To MOTHERS.
