Yorkville was taken in with an amusing gag on Wednesday. "The whole Chinese fleet has gone to Manila!" The statement was usually followed by an anxious or puzzled pause, and then would follow the question, "What for ?"

Telegraphic Summary Up to 5 O'Olock P. M. SAMPSON TAKES PORTO RICO. By Telegraph to The Yorkville Enquirer. St. Thomas, May 13.?San Juan, Porto Rico, surrendered to Admiral Sampson early this morning. Admiral Sampson arrived off the entrance to San Juan harbor yesterday ; .. :? 1 morning u.i suuri>e, aim uiuiuut ucmj opened fire on Fort Morro, guarding the harbor entrance and the batteries protecting the town along the water front. The fort was soou reduced ; but the batteries were disposed of with considerably more difficulty. After silencing the guns along the shore the fleet gave its attention to the town, and during yesterday afternoon a shell tore the roof off the palace of Captain General Macias. Macias continued at his post vainly endeavoring to rally his shattered forces ; but the terrible hail of metal from the nine American warships was more than flesh and blood could stand, and there was nothing left but surrender. During the bombardment the New York lost one killed and four wounded ; but up to this writing the Spanish loss is unknown. Here Thiey Are. Before the surrender of San Juan, Admiral Sampson received positive information that the Spanish fleet is at Martinique. His information also was that the fleet not only had a full supply of ammunition, but that it had just coaled at St. Pierre. It was decided not to land marines; but leaving two monitors to hold St. Juan, he started on a cruise in the direction of the Spaniards. In all probability a decisive battle will take place this afternoon. Terror and Furor. Washington, May 13.?The war board has received advices of the arrival of the Spanish torpedo boats "Terror" and "Furor" at Fort de i lttiivcj Auaiiiuiv|uc. Regulars In Cuba. Key West, April 13.?The transport Gussie which left Tampa last Tuesday with a cargo of supplies for the Cubans in charge of companies E and G of the First infantry, landed at Cabanas yesterday. A force of insurgents was waiting for the Gussie at the appointed rendezvous, and a large force of Spaniards came up while the landing was in progress. As the result of a stubborn fight the Spaniards were beaten oflf, and the expedition got a good start into the interior. Off For the Philippines. London, April 13.?A dispatch from Madrid says it is definitely stated that the Spanish fleet now collecting at Cadiz is to go to the Philippines. Hurried efforts are being made to collect a military expedition of 10,000 men, and the fleet will couvoy this army by way of the Suez canal. Good if True. The Daily News has a dispatch from its special correspondent in Havana, saying that a desperate battle occurred yesterday with insurgents who are massing to attack the city. The Spaniards fought bravely; but the insurgents refused to give back. The Spanish loss was 900 killed and wounded. This Is Serious. The United States government resents the unfriendly act of France in allowing the Spanish fleet to coal at. St. Pierre and has demanded an explanation. FIVE AMERICANS KILLED. Wintilow Meets With Misfortune In Cardemis If arbor. The plucky little torpedo boat Winslow has met her fate. An account of her gallant fight with three Spanish gunboats, off' Cardenas bay, last Sunday, together with a cut of her, apr\c*uv in this was in auother engagement in Cardenas harbor ou Wednesday afternoon, aud as the result not only lost five men killed aud four wouuded; but was seriously disabled. The gunboats Wilmington and Hudson aud the torpedo boat Winslow entered Cardenas harbor at about 1 o'clock Weduesday afternoon for the purpose of attacking some Spanish gunboats known to be there. The Spaniards discovered the Arnercans first, and opened a terrific fire from their gunboats and land batteries. The battle began at 2.0o o'clock and lasted about an hour. It was terrific from the first. The Winslow was the last vessel to engage. As soon as her presence became known, all the Spanish guns were turned upon her. The gunboats tried to draw some of the fire to themselves, but the Spaniards kept on at the Winslow, until a solid shot passed through her hull and knocked out her boiler. With the loss of her boiler the Winslow began to roll helplessly ; but the Spaniards kept pouring iron at her. The gunboat Hudson hurried to the assistance of the Winslow with a view to towing her out of the harbor. It was 20 minutes before the Hudson succeeded in getting near euougii to throw a line. Ensign Bagley and six men were standing on the deck of the Winslow waiting for the line from the Hudson. "Heave the line," shouted Bagley. "Don't miss." returned an officer from the Hudson. "Let her come," returned Bagley, smilingly, "it is getting toe hot here for comfort." Just as the liue was thrown a shell burst in the midst, of the group of men on the Winslow. Bagley was thrown to the deck, his face torn away, and the upper portion of his body shattered. Six other men fell about him, and John Yarvorls, Josiah Tunnett, J. W. Meeks, and J. Daidel were killed. Ii. E. Cox, D. McKeen, J. Patterson, F. Gray and Lieutenant J. B. Bernado were wounded. Pattersou's wound is serious. Some minutes after this terrible casualty, the Hudson got a line aboard on/I t r\r\lr tVin Winclna* in tnu' Pi'<jC. uuvt bvv/r\ viiu t? jiioiw ?t in bu *t a ? vuently the line parted and all the work was to do over again, still uuder a terrible fire. At 3.50 p. m., the Winslow was out of further danger from the Spanish guns. The Hudson took the Winslow's killed and wounded to Key West, arriving there Thursday morning. The Winslow was left off" Cardenas, and will have to be towed to Key West for repairs. Ensign Bagley was from Raleigh, N. C. He was a most gallant officer, and was very popfllar. THE CUBAN FORCES. Insurgents Have but a Sorry Anny With Which to Fight Spain. Reliable information secured by United States army officers during the past few weeks has developed startling disappointments in Washington as to the strength of the insurgent army in Cuba. For a year or more the newspapers have been publishing stories to the effect that General Gomez had an army of 30,000 men, armed with rifles and machetes. It was represented that in addition to this there were thousands of ablebodied Cubans willing and anxious to join the army of Gomez; but who were prevented on account of their inability to secure arms and ammunition. Investigations made by the army officers referred to, develop the fact that while the island was full of re' volt, the army of Gomez was nothing like what it was represented to be. Indeed, when visited, the general had only 167 men under arms, with some 300 more in camp, but unarmed. With General Calixto Garcia the situation was somewhat different. He had several thousand meu, well drilled, and fairly well armed men. There are available also a great many other scattered bands of Cubans, under petty leaders, and in the aggrega'te their number is sufficient to make a formidable army. But it was discovered that this array would not only have to be organized and armed ; but it would have to be provisioned also at the expense of the United States. The war board, sometime ago, determined to give the Cubans all the assistance that might be necessary. PLAN OF INVASION. All kinds of plans for the invasion of Cuba have been under consideration for several weeks, and have been the source of considerable difference ol opinion among the members of the war board. While the Spanish Cape Verde fleet seemed to threaten the blockading fleet, all were agreed that nothing important in the direction of invasion should be attempted until the Spanish fleet had been disposed of; but when there came to Washington on Tuesday what was considered to be satisfactory information that the Spanish fleet was not coming over, the Cuban question immediately pushed itself to the front again. According to General Lee, the military strength of the Spaniards in Cuba is 70.000. He told the president that this force could be easily overcome by 25,000 Americans. In his judgment, the best plan would be to batter down the defenses of Havana, and at the same time attack the city from the rear. With the fall of the defenses and appearance of the troops, the Spaniards would surrender Havana, and from there on there would be no further trouble. General Miles did not agree with General Lee. General Miles is a man who thoroughly believes in the etti cacy of superior forces, and under no circumstances is he inclined to move against the enemy on even terms, if it is possible to secure an advantage. He thinks it best to send a large force to Cuba, and he wauled to wait until that force was in good shape. The volunteers, he said, could not be drilled and pioperly seasoned under GO or 90 days, and he thought it desirable to wait. The president is said to have acted iiruily and taken the situation in his own hands. He agrees with Miles that it would be better to have the troops drilled and seasoued ; but this would take time. Thousands of the poorer classes in Cuba are starving every day, and with each hour of delay the situation grows even more horrible. Accordingly, the president an nounced that whether the army was ready or not, the invasion should take place at once. Under his plan, all the available regulars will go to the front and do the lighting. It was figured on Wednesday that 1">,000 regulars could be landed before Sunday. These are to be followed next week by lo,000 volunteers, and during the next three weeks the president hopes to have at least GO,GOO men ou the island. The volunteers may have some lighting to do; but it is not thought probable. The intention is to use them to hold what is won by the regulars.

IT may be owing to the strong probabilities of war with Spain and to the fact that our certificates contain no restrictions or forfeitures on account of war or riots, that THE CAROLINA BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION has, within the past ten days, made such wonderful strides. One agent alone, in four days, sent in 50 applications, and be remarked that he could not have them examined fast enough to suit the applicants, as they wanted protection at once. This is truly encouraging to the promoters of this benevolent and co-operative plan of life insurance, and it is a positive proof that the intelligent people of this section of the slate are anxious to foster a meritorious industry. The plan is simply the neighbors of the counties of which a division consists, insuring themselves at cost, with only an additional expense of $2 per capita to guarantee tbe management to be carried on upon systematic and business principles. We have been in business only about four weeks and have averaged over 100 applications a week, and have only four or five active agents in the field. We propose to put this equitable, cheap and solvent plan of insurance within the reach of every eligible man and woman within the circuit of the various divisions. We have not heard an advorse criticism upon our plan of operation worthy of note since its introduction. We invite the most scrupulous investigation and challenge the world to produce a more equitable, ft more solvent and a cheaper plan of life protection. D. E. BONE Y, Manager. Rock Hill, S. C. W. B.
