L Retail.!, Miijm Mi-Ann aad Others Talked el lor Legislative ileum's. Special Dispatch to the Kaslo Morning Nows. Washington, May 14.���Information reached the authorities here late thin afternoon that the Spanish squadron had boen sighted off the island of Curacao, one of tho Dutch West IndloB lying off the coast of Venezuela. This information was regarded as of vital importance, as it not only ilxed tho position of the enemy but disclosed the purpose of the Spanish admiral to eludo the fleet of Admiral Sampson and mako his way through tho Curri- bean sea, probably to Cuba. The island of Curacao was orignally Spanish and is peopled mainly by descendants of Spaniards, though it is now one of the Dutch possessions. Tiie Spanish squadron's course was doubtless influenced by the fact that the French cable starting from Cu- racitH, Venezula, touched at tho island of Curacao, thenco proceeding northward through the Carribean sea to Hayti, with qpurs running oast and . ^ west to Porto Rico and Cuba. He is anxious to get in touch from Curacao with tbe Spanish authorities in Cuba and Porto Hico and through them directly with the Spanish admiralty at Madrid. No immediate battlo with Admiral Sampson's fleet Is expected, as It seems thc Spaniards have succeeded in passing to the south of the American fleet, and aro now well to tho westward of it. As the enemy is in reach of the rebels, the navy department regards it of the most vital concern, that the exact -.hereabouts of American ships should not bo made known during tho noxt fow days. May 14.���Tho third class French cruisor Admiral Kigault de Grumley, which was at San Juan de Porto Rico during the bombardmont of the forts at that place by the fleet of Rear Admiral Sampson on Thnrsday morning, left there about noon yesterday and arrived hero this morning. She reports that the inhabitants of San Juan lied to the country immediately the firing began, women and children being trampled on in the mad scramble for safety. As the crew of the French cruiser remained on board their ship they cannot say any thing in regard to the exact condition of affairs ashore, but thoy claim one shell exploded in a school house killing a number of children, while another shell demol ished the house of the commandant of marine of San Juan. The parts of the city within range of the American fire .suffered the most. The officers of tho French ship say they do not know how many persons were killed during tho bombardment, but expressed the opinion that tho number was small, while the number wounded is very large.The officers of the French cruiser also criticized the wisdom of the bombardment. When the French cruiser loft San Juan its inhabitants were beginning to return to the oity. The Oregon Beard From, Hpcclal Dispatch to tho Kaslo Morning News.

Special Dispatch to tHa K*_,l0 Morning News. SU Thomas, DnviUh WeM Indies, Spanish Flotilla Watching; the Harvard. Now York, May-14.���A dispatch from St. Pierro, Martinique, says that there is a flotilla of eight Spanish warships and seven torpedo boats in the vicinity of this island, and that it is positively known that part of thlB flotilla is cruising near here keeping watch on the U. S. auxiliary cruiser Harvard. The commander of the Harvard asked to remain ln port seven days to repair machinery. The time asked was granted but the commander was notified that when repairs were completed ho must give 24 hours notice before leaving. As the present session of tho legislature draws to a close, people are beginning to consider material for representation of the new Slocan riding in the next session. So far, all the material heard of hails Irom Kaslo, but there aro doubtless others. Also, all Kaslo probabilities heard from are classed as government supporters, although the people most concerned do not always bear this out. The candidate who has bounded most conspicuously into the political arena so far is John L. Retallaek, private banker and part owner of the Whitewater mine. A friend of his was yesterday feeling the public pulse preparatory to circulating a petition requesting him to run as a government supporter. Tho caption of tho petition was neatly typewritten, presumably with Mr. Ratallack's approval. The name of Charles W. McAnn waa talked of yesterday on tho streets as a oandidato for legislative honors, also beneath the government's protective wing. The News had no opportunity to verify this report by personal interview with Mr. McAnn, even 'assuming that he would be willing to be interviewed on tbe subject.' The Rossland Miner reports on what it says is "good authority," that ex- Mayor Robert F. Green will be the government candidate in the Slocan division. Mr. Green says that this report is unauthorized and that it is news to him. The same paper also speaks of G. O. Buchanan, now absent in Ottawa as Board of Trado delegate, as a probability, with a loaning toward an independent raeo. Mr. Buchanan said, before he left, that ho might run as a government candidate but the government would havo to pledge certain reforms first. Police Magistrate Alex. Lucas is also taked of as a dark horse, witli good powers of speed. A keen observer who is a Liberal, commenting upon the conditions, said yesterday: "If things keep on as they havo dono, I shall bo in favor of drawing party lines. As lt Is likely to continue, provincial politics is a two-edged sword that cuts for C'otiservatlvos both ways. If tho Opposition gets in, It is apt to be Conservative. If Liberals get in, they are apt to support a government which is really, if not nominally, Conservative, and which throws its influence for the Conservatives in Dominion affairs. There is no use in merely protesting. They may promise non-partisanship, but afterwards the people find that they really have a ��� Conservative government. We might as well have the name as the game." FRANCE 11 BRITAIN NOT TO FIGHT Chamberlin Scored in France for Tall in ai. ials Say Frame Is Fair io Neo Special Dispatch to the Kaslo Morning News. Paris, May 14.���The French newspapers unanimously condemn the speech of Mr. Joseph Chamberlin, the British secretary of state for the colonies, at Birmingham last night, and deny that thero is any probability of war between Great Britain and France. The Temps says: "The establishment of an an Anglo-American alliance is a sympton to which too much attention cannot be given, but it is certainly a German alliance which the British Cabinet has immediately In view." The Republique Francaise terms Mr. Chamberlain "a civil Boulanger'', remarking that he referred to Russia in terms whieh a statesman should not allow himself to use. Suggests Latin Alliance. New York, May 14.���A spocial from Paris says Henri Rochefort suggests to the intransigeantes of Spain and Italy that they become republics and join the French republic in forming a triple Latin republic alliance to off-set probable Anglo-American and German alliance. France Is All Right. Special Dispatch to the Kaslo Morning News. Washington, May 14.���The officials of the state and navy departments strongly dopricate as mischevous and dangerous the efforts to create the impression that France is not acting up to the rule in the observance of strict neutrality between the United States aud Spain. They say that even were tliere some slight foundation for tho statements, the time is very inoppor- tune for newspaper attacks that might ovon involve Franco in the present hostilities. As a matter of fact, they say there is no ovidenco of any disposition on tho part of French colonial officials in tho West Indies to discriminate against the U. S. and favor Spain. If thero has boen any delay in transmission of cable dlspatohos from Martinique to tho U. S. governmont or in a reverse direction, the government is not in possession of evidence tending in tho slightest degree to show that obstacles were purposely interposed. As far as the matter of coaling is con- corned, there is also an entire absence as yet of any evidence that the Spanish fleet was accorded any undue advantage in this respect. Spain Feels Encouraged. Special Dispatch to the Kaslo Morning New*. Paris, May 14.���The Terns this evening publishes the following special from Madrid: "The success achieved by the Spau- ish troops against the American landing parties in Cuba and the insignificant result of the bombardmont of San Juan de Porto Rico, have strengthened tho feeling here in favor of prolonging the war in the Antelles and Philippines. It is beiioved that Admiral Cerveras'squadron will, as so^n as it has picked up its dispatch boats and torpedo boats off Martinique, will cruise into Cuban waters and perhaps oven farther."

Chicago, May ll.���A special to the Times-Herald from Washington says: Ihe representatives of the foreign governments are taking an intense interest in the conflict between the United states and Spain. They are specially concerned ut present over Ihe fate of the Philippines ami discussing the possibility of intervention by tlie powers. The concensus of opinion seems to lie 'hat if the United Stales shoiihl conclude to retain possession of the conquered islands in the Pacific the European powers will have no cause to interfere. Attention is also called to the fait that with he capture of the Philippines the raited States can also claim the Marianne, Palawan and Caroline islands. A foreign diplomat, whose opinion is entitled to consideration, in discussing the situnton. snys: "European statesmen are much gratified to note Unit the United States appears determined to handle the Philippine question ably and strongly. When the newspapers first asserted that only 10,11(11) soldiers were to be sent to reinforce Admiral Dewey and make permanent the fruits of his victory, considerable uneasiness wus felt. "II would lie a physical impossibility to police the 8,000,000 or 'l.Oul I.t Hill inhabitants of Spain's Oceanic colonies with that number of men. Under n good military government it would require 10,000 for administrative purposes alone. The proposition to transport 30,000 Boldiers to this conquest is more like a business proposition.

They Are the Descendants of the Pierce Mun-Kat iik Cultan Dojr. The flrst Cuban bloodhounds lauded upon this continent were Imported 200 years ago by Spanish planters of Ixnils- lann, then Spanish territory, writes II. S. Cnnfiebl in the Chicago Times-Herald. We all know what the dons were alanit 1700. Negroes were cheaper then, and If a slave gave trouble It did uot much matter that the bloodhound's hold upon bis throat was broken only by the tearing of the flesh and tendons. Many times in those days the fugitive negro did not live afte* bis capture. If he* succeeded in gaining a tree, his olive-skinned masters shot hliu out as they would a squirrel, If on the ground when caught the dogs killed him, sometimes before the arrival of the horsemen who had ridden hard to be ln at the death. The Cuban hound wns a valuable dog and be wns well treated. In some of the old court records of Louisiana are bills of sale of blm. In Instances the price ran as high ns $S0O a pair. The breetl spread all through the South, although I hnve never heard of the dogs being used ns man hunters In llic pay to hnve a $1,000 negro chewed up by a $50 dog. The bloodhound Is now used only In the pursuit of criminals. Every southern penitentiary has a brace or more of them. They are not Infrequently a part of the sheriff's outflt. The breed Is not always pure, but tbe dogs servo their purpose. Their keenness of scent Is one of tlie most remarkable things In nature, though it Is of value principally ln the more thinly-settled region. It seems Incredible that the mere temporary pressure of a man's boot or shoe upon the ground should leave a traceable scent for twenty-four hours, providing that there has Ireen no rain, but there ls no doubt that It does. Sometimes lu the South a murderer breaks jail. Until the universal Introduction of chilled steel cages this was not a difficult matter. Dogs are telegraphed for at a distance probably of 1&0 miles. They arrive a day after the escape. They are led In leasb to the point where the criminal Is supposed to have made his exit aud uncoupled. They take up the scent Instantly nnd follow It rapidly. The man must have crossed much water or confused his trail with the hurrying footsteps of dozens of others to throw them off. Always supposing that twenty-four hours Is the extreme limit of "law" allowed the fugitive, the bloodhounds nre the best means of effecting his capture. Having far to travel, they do not bay. They have no breath to waste. TIIK HKAI) OP A lll.liollllul Nil. upiMT tier of Southern Stntes. 1 doubt that oue has ever been laid upon ihe trail of u negro In Virginia, North Carolina or Maryland. As a matter of course the planters of this century were careful to protect their slaves as far as possible from at tucks Iry the animals. This wns generally easy. The runaway slave Invariably made for the swamp at the back of Hie plantation. It contained mnny streams aud lagoons, which aided him In throwing the dogs off the scent. If tho worst came to the worst he could always climb a tree. I hnve uo doubt that the ancient anecdote of the coou whlch remarked to the man with the guu, "Don't shoot, mister; I'm going to come dowu," had Its origin In some runaway "hand" perched ln a cypress and gazing down at his lrnte master, but preserving always the negro's sense of humor. Indeed, the story Is loved and venerated in every "quarters" south of Mason and Dixon's line, .ind Is always good for a laugh. Thc planter's care ln this matter was dictated more hy policy than humanity. It did pot Dreams. An Kngllsh general and his wife, resident In Ireland, were constnnlly pestered by a womnn to whom they had been very charitable.

"But, my good woman," said the general, "do you not know thnt dreams always go by the rules of contrary?" "Do they so, plnse Yer Honor7" rejoined the old woman. "Then It must be Yer Honor that will give me the tny and Her ladyship that will give uie the tobacco."���Chicngo News. TO THAW THE GROUND. Here's an Apparatus that 'Will Prove a Boon to Klondike.

The N'hla-Kapmuh Indians of the Interior of British Columbia have eweathouses and Indulge In a treat somewhat similar to our Turkish bath. By the side of streams of melted snow, at some distance from the village, among the pines and tlrs, are two curious structures. One is made of small poles set up like tbe roof of a bouse. These are covered with fir boughs, and finally with earth, the door, facing the setting sun, has a blanket hanging over It. Within, on the soulh side, ls a circular hole (in the ground) nbout two feet In diameter and one foot deep, filled with burned and crackled stones. Tbe remainder of the floor Is covered deep with a soft bed of fir twigs. In front of tbe door one will see traces of a good-sized fire, aud many stones, both those that have been burned and blackened In the fire aud those brought near, but still unused. This Is the men's swenthouse, or part of the bathing outfit of the village. The other structure Is similar to this In essentials, but at this particular village It Is n��Jt covered with soil. It is roofed with blanket mats or skins when ln use. This is the sweathouse for tbe women. When the N'hla-Kapmuh wants to tnke a bath he builds a fire nud boats n number of stones.

"Our country must not be insulted by the Italians." "I thought it wns the Spaniards," mildly protested the first speaker. "Well, they are all the same. It makes no difference-who it is we arc fighting; it is the principle of the tiling we are after." "Has anybody been shot yet?" asked the first speaker, "I really didn't read the news clearly this morning," was the reply.

Kvldeucea of the Ancient Roman Waterworka Attain Found. The house of Vettlus has two entrances, the principal one facing the cast and opening to the street which led to the city gate, and a side entrance which Is directly opposite to the modern wood*en pout-house erected to protect thc ancient Itoinun water pipes, which branch off here In many directions. Most visitors will remember this curious Illustration of ancient water works, the earliest and most complete that are known to us, aad by the help of the description we have given should have no difficulty ln locating the house. The building obtained Its name from three signets found in tbe atrium, one of which bore the legend A. Vettll Convlvaes, which may be Interpreted "Of, belonging to, A. \ittlus Oonvlva;" the second, A. Vettll Kestltuti, or "The property of A. Vettlus Kestltajtus;" and the third, which was a bronze rln,?, and bore tbe latter AVCo, evidently an abbreviation of the flrst signet. Besides these there were three engraved stones having the respective ornaments of an amphora, an ivy leaf, and the caduceus of Mercury.

Now let New Denver, Silverton and Slocan City fall in line, and we will show them what genuine hospitality is. V. 1 h ItidSj'''.'. iu v. c.eii ol Sloeun lake shLnnftritig in tbo distance, tho Observer approached tho metropolis at the mouth of Carpenter croek. The gravo-llke stillness seemed almost unbroken on its thoroughfare,.until we heard quick stops and then saw gonial Hilly Twiss of Kaslo. Ho was hunting for business���and getting it, too, thereby proving tbe falsity of the rumor that tho last sad rites had boon said ovor the town. Greetings were axchanged with the editor and financier of thc Letlgo, who by the way undoubtedly has thc most complete nowspaper manufacturing establishment in the Kootenays���albeit just about 10 years ahead of any possible needs. Lowery is a far seoing individual. The flaring announcement on the bulletin board of our evening contemporary, "MORK BLOOD", Bt'ggests the thought that the moving spirit of thai institution must 1 e getting red-eyed over the evident superiority of tbe l'.d.lo Morning News us a nowspaper, since there was nothing in the aftor- noonbullotins which would indicate any blood-letting other than that recently observed in the Kootenaian editor's eye. MEN AND THINGS. In a recent trip through the Slocan t-j and down the lako of the same name, and thenco to lively Nelson and back by Kootenay lake, tho Observer was not. a little pleased to note many evidences of renewed activity in tho several mining camps visited. While there can be no doubt that attention has been diverted from Kootenay to Klondike��� unfortunately for most of thoao so attracted���evidences in plenty are not lacking tbat solid, reliable, dividend paying Kootonay is onee moro forging to the front in the estimation of mining mon who want properties to ' bank on year in and year out. Sandon in quiet, but la improving, and aa noon as the enow la gone and trB.ll.-i anil reads are settled, -hi pine a is and actual development will doubtleis exceed that of last yoar. It is no reflection ou Three Fork" that the Bring of a 13-inch Spaniard-killing gun there would probably not uwaken more than oue yellow dog and the postmaster The surrounding hills are just as rich as ever with precious metals, and If the town is in a semi-comatose condition, its future is full of pronjise. Silverton is still on deck, and just at present is bending every energy towards the biggest celebration ever held on Sloean lake on tho Queen's birthday. Slocan City has now settled down to business. Last year it was badly affected by tho prevalent boom fever, but is now recovering. Rich mining districts surround it, and one evening recently its citizens raised $2,500 towards tho much needed Springer ereek wagon road, for which also tbe government has since promised $:),500. The citizens of Sloean City are enterprising, and somo day in the sweet by and by they'll reap their reward. Nolson is a good town, and comparatively speaking, might bo considered lively. Many public, and private improvements have been going on since tbo Observer's last visit, and now *a more permanent appearance is noticeable. K0n3. ���. ...��is'is.

Xo patrol was established nor wus iiny searchlight placed ut the entrance to the buy. On Snlunlay night tlie American ships crept inside the bay without being seen until the McCulloch's funnel emitted a spark. Then a few shots were exchanged with Oorregidor [aland, but the fleet never stopped nor .lowed down opposite the city until dawn. The Spanish ships then opened Are, supported by tlie Cavite forts, j The McCulloch remained at some distance nud tlie enemy's shells passed, but did not touch her. Tbo cruiser Baltimore suffered Ilu* most of ntiy of thu American ships. Five or lu shots took effect in her, but none of her I officers or crew were seriously hurt, Only' a few slighl Injuries were Buffered by the j American fleet, the worst of which resulted from tin explosion of ammunition on tbe deck of the Baltimore. The other ships of the licet were practically unhurt.' tine bundled and fifty Spaniards were killed nnd many wero wounded, 'nie cruiser Reina Christina was the worst damaged of the Spanish ships and it is believe*! Unit she wns sunk. Tlie otltcr ships of tbe Spaniards were quickly rid- i died by tlie American fire. Tlio torpedo bunts of the Cavite forts were quickly I forced to return to that place for shelter.! The Cavite arsenal exploded and 40 Spaniards were killed. The forts made a; nominal resistance. The oity batttery has never capitulated und the Spaniards ashore are defiant. The i!!> lupin Led the Squadron. The Olympic led the squadron into the buy through ilii* channel and the fleet bail passed Corrogidor island before the Spnlah perceived iliem. A pshbt wus fired from the battery, to which the Raleigh, the Boston and Die Concord speed* ill retorted, and tbe battery wus almost! immediately reduced to silence. The Bquadron then slowly proceeded up tbe harbor and when daylight, came tlie (own of Manila wns seen about five miles distant. Tlie American ships steamed j deliberately along in front of Manila, but without opening lire until the Spanish I cannon from tlio batteries around the town began firing, ami shots liegnn to strike the water nruund the squadron. The Concord lireil ii few shots inure or less OS she passed, but tbe other ships proceeded silently towards Cavite. When Hearing linker lsiy u sudden upheaval of Hie waters occurred a little distance in front of the lending ship, und quickly following this a second waterspout showed that the Spaniards had fired a couple of torpedoes, but their efforts to blow up the ships were absolutely unsuccessful, Almost immediately the guns in the Cnvite battery bunt Into it heavy cannonading. The shells fell iii tlie neighborhood of Hip Olyiiipia, but. the majority of them fell short and were badly aimed. The squadron then drew nearer in toward the Spanish fleet and Hie bat lie began in real earnest, Kewej It I-I.e.I the Ml Tin' American. ships entered by the southern channel by Faballo nml FrUle islets, which were fortified, Commodore Dowey resolved to risk the mines which Men* supposed to block Hie channel, The i^binil foils Hied, but not together, Replying with n few shells, the squadron prooaaded without stopping or changing Its course, Tin* order of ihe vessels teas m follows: Olympia, Baltimore, Italcigb, Concord, Boston, Petrel, McCulloch, Nun ���ban and Zcnllro, and tllllS they steamed to Ihc center of the buy.

The Spaniards fired the first shot, nt (HUM) yards, but it wns ineffective. The Amer iean ships formed in column line and steamed nearer, reserving their fire until within 4000 yards. They then passed backwards and forwards six times across the ���Spaniards' front, pouring m a perfect hail of shot and shell. Every shot seemed to tell. Then the Americans retired fust and a council of war took place. Spanish In Desperate Straits. The Spanish ships were in a desperate condition. Die Reina Christina wns riddled and one of her steam pipes had burst. Tlie Costilla was also on-fire and both were burned to the water's edge. The Don Antonio de Ulloa made a magnificent show of desperate bravery. With (be colors nailed to her mast she stink with all bunds. Her bull wus riddled but the guns were si ill Bred defiantly as the vessel *iink beneath the water. A torpedo boat Jl it'll lo creep along the shore around the offing and attach the Zeaflro, Nanahan and McCulloch, nil non-eiinibatants, but was dHven ashore and shot into bits. The Uinda.no was run onto the beech and the other Small craft retired behind the mole. I'I n InI, I iik Toiielu-Ss The fight started at 5:30, was adjourned at 8:110 and resumed about noon. The finishing touches were given Cavite by tbe Petrel and Concord. The Raleigh grounded twice in shallow water during the engagement. Invite ln titter ItuliiH. Cavite is in utter ruins uml also tbe surroundings. The. gunboats have been scuttled and the arsenal wns on lire and exploded, causing great mortality. The commodore of thc tleet on board the Reina Christina was wounded and ber captain, lieutenant, chaplain und tbe midshipmen were killed by a shell striking the; bridge. Eighty of her crew were killed nnd 00 wounded. On Hie Costilla 100 were killed und 00 wounded. Spanish Losses* Over lOOO. The Spanish losses uggregate more than a thousand. There were no casualties among the Americana except that six of Hie Iliiltimore's crew were slightly wounded by one of the enemy's shells striking a shell on the deck nud exploding it. There were three shot boles in ber upper works, live in the upper works of the Olympia and a whnlcbont smashed on the Raleigh. Xo other damage was done anywhere. The disparity between (be injury inflicted on the Spanish fleet nnd that sustained by tlio Americana is due to the superior guns of the later nnd tbe superior marksmanship1 at long range. The Manila Esplanade Krupp 10-inch guns were fired continuously, but the ���Americana avoided replying and tlie buttery showed a white flag afterwards. CapltnUtion still Unsettled. Tbe terms of capitulation are still unsettled. Commodore Dewey fears rioting by the rebels if lie attempts a bombardment. The forts nt the entrance to the bar capitulated and were dismantled on Wednesday.

The Dupont and auxiliary cruiser Hornet were cruising near the shore last night and when ubout 000 yards from land,-were fired upon by u body of cavalry about 200 strong which was spread along llii! shore on the lookout for lilihuslorors. According to the Dupont'8 story both vessels relumed the fire, scattering tlie Spanish troops uml then bombarded the. Mutunzus fortifications. There were in the nature of snid blockhouses, nine in number. The bombardment lasted from 4 o'clock to fi:30 Tbe Dupont men suy tbat thoir shells toppled over tlm barricades in course of erection und they are sure tbat many of the Spanish soldiers were killed as Ihey afterwards saw wagons taking away dead or wounded. 'The survivors lied to the hills. This morning the Matanzas fortifications opened lire, sending three H-inch shells at. the Dupont nml Hornet. Tbey were Uneshots but the bunts were out of range. The l-upout and Hornet then resumed ihc bombardment nud continued It until 8;80 o'clock.

Washington; May 5.���Persons who were with the president toduy assert that there is a strong likelihood that Puerto Rico will be in the hands of the United States within 48 hours. The immediate seizure of the island, tbey assert, has boen ordered though direct confirmation is lacking. Xo confirmation is obtainable of the various reports concerning the movements or Admiral Sampson's fleet. Persons supposed to share the confidence of the administration declure the admiral has gone to seize Puerto Kico while others with equal positiveness suy the fleet has gone to meet the Oregon and escort her safely north. Still another report is to the effect thnt Sampson lias gone to seize Matanzas to use it a as a base of operations. Tbo officials absolutely refuse to make public the plun of the strategy board.

It was announced officially today that the Spanish steumer Alfonso Xlil, said to huve troops and a valuable cargo ou board, has arrived at Puerto Rico, lt was feared she would be captured. To Unite ihe Fleets. New* York, May 5.���A special to the Herald from Washington says: Spain's Atlantic fleet is not to be allowed to reach Puerto Rico or to approach the coast of tlie United States. Rear Admiral Sampson has perfected plans for meeting tlie enemy on the high sens and giving battle ot n time anil place of his own choosing. The successful issue of this buttle may depend in a large measure upon the Spanish admiral being kept in profound Ignorance of the intention of tlie American commander and being given the least possible time in which to escape or to prepare for battle. Consequently the secretary of the navy and Hear Admiral Sump- son have kept the details of the plan of operations a profound secret, and us the time for tlie movement ngninst the Spanish ships draws neur a censorship of telegrams from Key West hus been established. This makes it impossoble to obtain direct from Key West news of the movement of the armored ships under the immediate command of Admiral Sampson. AH that is definitely known here is that four of the most powerful ships in Admiral Sampson's command���the New York, the Indiana, the lowo and the Puritan���were ready for a prolonged seo voyage yesterday. Their coal bunkers were filled to their capacity nnd additional supplies of coul were Carried in bags on deck. Two colliers currying 8000 tons of conl wero ready to accompany them to sea. Reports that these vessels have sailed eastward to meet Hie Spanish ships have not been confirmed. At the same time Commodore Sibley's squadron at Hampton Roads, comprising the Brooklyn, the Massachusetts, end the Texas, Willi two colliers, carrying 0000 tons of coal, is ready to sail at o moment's notice. Ken re III ii w, for Ihe Slumlords. Swift auxiliary cruisers ure cruising the ocean in serach of the Spanish fleet. These facts nil point to the theory thut there is lo be a union of the armored ships under Admiral Sampson witli those under Commodore Bobley ut a point in tho ooenii previously agreed upon, and (bat (lie scouts are to report tu (hem there the locution uud direction of thu Spanish ships. It is not believed lo be possible Hint the Spanish ships will bo uble to moid ull of the scouting vessels. As soon us Rear Admiral Snmpson learns the whereabouts of the Spunisb fleet und the direction in which it is sailing, he cau get under way to intercept it, throwing his scouts out in front so us to cover a wide expanse of sea and following with hia armored vessels in line of buttle and ready to give light ns soon us they come iu contact with the enemy. Opinions iliiTer somewhat in naval circles as to the destination of the Spanish fleet. Many nnvtil officers can scarcely conceive it to be possible thnt the Spanish admiral would bo so rush as to bring his vessels within reach of such an overwhelming force as that which Admiral Sampson could bring against him. They believe that if he has held a westerly course, he counts on being able to reach Puerto Rico and get his vessels safely into the harbor of San Juan bc'ore he cun be attacked by an overwhelming American force. When Villami left St. Vincent tho American force whs divided. Rear Admiral Sumpson apparently was fully oc-, copied with tlie blockade of Cubnn ports und the only vessels available to be sent ngninst him were those under Commodore Schley.

The crowds congregated on the shore, cheered themselves hoarse, while thc vessel majestically steamed down the Delaware. The St. Paul's stay at League island will only be long enough to allow her to tnke aboard unimunition, when it is believed she will do scout duly along the middle Atlantic coast. i ult,in Scouts Lnnded.

Key West, Fin., May 8.-Only poor marksmanship on the part of the Spaniards saved the Vlcksburg nnd Hie cutter Morrill from destruction in Havana harbor yesterday morning. For over hulf un hour Ihey were under the fire of the guns of the Suiitu Glare water batteries but both escaped without nutter* iiil injury, ulthough shrapnel from eight-inch guns exploded all about tbcin and both now show the scars of the Spanish bullets. The wily Spaniards hml arranged a trag to send a couple uf our ships to the bottom. They baited it ns n mun would bait u trap. A suinll schooner wns sent out from Havana harbor shortly before daylight yesterday morning to druw sonic of the Americans into the ambuscade. The ruse winked like a charm. The Yioksburg and the Morrill, in the heat of the chase und in their contempt for Spanish gunnery, walked straight into the trap Hint hnd been set for them. Hud the Spnn- iards possessed their souls in patience but five minutes longer not even the bad gun practice would hnve saved our ships and this morning two more of our vessels would lie at the bottom within two lengths of the Mui ne. I.lired the VIH i-nIi i|is In. Friday evening the Yioksburg and Morrill, cruising to the west of Mono castle, were fired upon by the big guns of the Cojimur batteries. Two shots were fired nt the Yicksburg nnd one nt the Morrill. Both vessels, without returning the fire, steamed out of range. Hut yesterday morning the Spaniards hnd better luck. The schooner they hud sent out before daylight run off to the eastward, hugging Hie shore and with Ihe wind on her starboard quarter. About three miles cast of the enlrance of the harbor she came over on the port tuck. A hnze fringed the horizon and she wus not discovered until three miles off shore, when the Muyllower made her out and signalled the Morrill nnd Vicksburg. Captairi Smith of thc Morrill and Commander Tilly of the Yicksburg immediately shipped ou nil Steam und started in pursuit. The schooner Instantly put about and ran for Mono castle before thc wind. In doing so she would, according to the well-conceived Spanish plot, lend the two Americnn warships directly under the guns of the Snntu Clare battery. These works are a short mile west of Morro nnd nre a pnrt of the harbor defenses. There are two butteries, one nt. the shore, Which has been recently throw n up, of sand and mortar, with wide embrasures for eight inch guns; the other is on u rocky eminence which juts out into the gulf nt this point. The upper battery mounts modern 10 inch and 13-ihch Krupp guns behind a six-foot stone parapet, in front of which nre 20 feet of earthworks and a belting of railroad iron. This battery is considered the most formidable, of llu- vnno's defenses except Mono castle. It is masked and has not been absolutely located by the American warships. lt is probnbly due lo the.fait Hint the Spaniards did not desire to expose its position that the Yicksburg und Morrill ure now afloat. Into the llurhor After Her. The Morrill nnd Yicksburg were aboul six miles from the schooner when the chase began. They steamed nfter her ut full speed, the .Morrill lending until within a mile und a hulf of the Santa Cktra butteries. Conmiundi'r Smith of tho Yicksburg wus tne Hrst to realize the danger into which the reckless pursuit had led them. He concluded it was time to ball und sent n shot across the bow of the schooner. The Spaniard In- slnntly brought his vessel about, but while she was still rolling in the trough of the sen with her sails Happing, un eight-inch shrapnel shell came hurling Uirough (ho air from (be wnter butter}', u mile und n half away. it passed over the Morrill between the pilot house and smokestack ami exploited less I lis n 50 feet on the port quarter.

Lieutenant Craig, who was in charge of the how four-inch rapid fire gun of the Morrill, nsked for nnd obtained permission to return the fire. At the first shot the Vicksburg, which was in the wake of the Morrill, slightly in shore, sheered off and passed to windward under the Morrill's stem. In the meantime Captain Smith ulso put his helm to port nnd was none too soon, for as the Merrill stood off a solid eight-inch shot grazed her starbard quarter anil kicked tip tons of wnter ns it struck a wave 100 yards beyond. Captain Smith snid afterwards that this was undoubtedly an eight-inch armor-piercing projectile,, nnd Hint it would huve passed through the Morrill's boilers hud she not Changed her course. All the guns of the wnter battery were now nt work. One of them cut the ju- cob bidder of the Vicksburg adrift und another carried uwny a portion of the rigging. Fire Wn* Returned. As the Morrill und , the Vicksburg steamed awny their nft guns were used, but only a few shots were fired. Tlie Mornll'l six-inch gun wnS elevated for 4000 yards nnd struck the earthworks repeatedly. The Yicksburg fired repeatedly shots from her six-pounder. The Spaniards continued to fire shot and shell for 20 minutes, but the shots were ineffective. Some of them were so wild that they aroused the American jock.es lo jeers. The Spaniards only ceased firing when the Morrill nnd Yicksburg were completely out of range. If nil the Spaniard gunners bud been suffering from strabismus their practice could not have lieen worse. ALL WARS BEGUN IN APRIL. >losi StlrrlnK Event*. Have Occurred in Thnt Month.
