STORY OF THE BAiTLE.
As Told by Me: Wao Tock a Premie:.t
PA: t I :.
The first connected story of the bat
tle was told to a correspcndent of the
Chicago Chron ce by the cfficers W
the United States revenue cutter Mc
Cullough last Sa'urday rnorning at
Hong Kong. The McUallough Lutk
part in tns battle and her officers had
a good opportunity to see the battle.
They said that the entire Sj.anish fl -et
of ten ships 'was compittely des.royed.
During Saturday night tne vessels
of the American squadron ciept in
side the bqy througa a supposea it z
of mines and torpedoes. They were
not observed by any of the watchers
on the Spanish garrisons until some
stray sparks were emi.ted from the
funnel of the diapatch boat McCal
lough.
Taen a few shots were exchanged
with tae garrison on Corregidor 1l
and, but, owing to the darkness, they
were int ffcctive. Tnere was no patrol
established, nor were any st arhii,:ts
placed at the en:rayce to Maza;a Bay.
The vessels of the American eqadrun
never stopped or slowed down until
they had assumed a posntion directly
opposite the city of ManiLa. This was
jtust at day break.
The order of battle assumed by the
Spanish fleet at the. beginning of the
engagement was with all the small
craft inside Cavite barbor, whicna is
prot c ed by stone and timber break
waters and the larger-sips maziouver
.ing c ff Caevire and Manija.
*The American battle line was led by
~the flagship 011 mpia and the cruiser
Raleigh. The Boston, Baltimore, Con
cord and Petrel and the reve nue cutter
McCulloch followed. The Amterican
deet in easy speed approached the
~Spanish ships, wh:ch were drawn out
an two lines, tne Rei a Maria Cristina,
the flagship in the center.
As the dawn broke and the position
of the American squaaron was disczv
ered the Spanaish fleet immnediatelt
opened fire, suppo:ted by the Cavite
forts. The Spanisrcs fired the first
sbot. The challenge was given by the
Rti2a Maria Cristina
The Olymopia repiitd and at once the
e ntire American fleet was in action.
'The Spanish ships did not hesitate in
their fire, and the Cavite batteries let
.:oose treir hea'vy guns. The best gun
ners in the American fl::et mann~ed
ihe most destrucnxve we apons on the
snips, and the havec wrought was
frightful. The engage ment soon be-.
camne generai.
The marksmanshin of thK- Spanish
g anners steened to be w iid from the
outset. Meanwhile the min snips of
tae American aqiauron were pourinig
in a deadly fire, ooioureat ex-cution
both in the Spas:sa? fleet and in tne
Cavite tortnncation un sand.
The American cruiser Baltimore, at
ot-e period of tne engsgement, re
eived the brunt of the enema's fire
and suffered the most of any vessel in
ite Ameuican equad oc. From five
t .ten 1o2s o: the ene my's shots took
,teton the Baltimore, but none -f
1.r cfficers or cre~w was seriously

of the Spanish a quadion, w as the ces

SCHLEY MAY JDIN SAM PSON.
Stated the Two Fic et 9 Will U.it t and Meet
The sa'ish Flotilla.
Tne Washington correspondent of
The Herald says.
Facts all point to the theory that
therte is to be a union of warspips un
der Raar Admiral Sampson with those
under Commodore Scthley as a point
in the ccean previously agreed upon
and that the scouts are to report to
them the location and direction of the
Spanish ships. It is not believed to be
possiblie that the Spanish ships will be
able to avoid ali of the scouting ves.
sels.
As soon as Rear Admiral Sampson
lea.'ns the wheregbouts of the Spanish
firet and the direction in waich it is
sailiL g he can get under way to in
terc-t it. throwing his scouts out in
fr ont so as to cover a wide expanse of
sea and follo wing with his armor ves
sels ins the line of battle ready to give
fight as soon as they come in contac
wih the enemy.
Opinions differ some what in nava
circles as to the destination of the
Spanish fleet. Many naval officers
can scarely concceive it to be possible
~tat the Spanish admiral would be no
rash as to bring his vessels within
reach of such an over whelming force
as that which Rear Admiral Sampson
could bring against him.
They believe that if he has held a
westerly course he counts on being
able to reach Porto Rico and get his
vessels safely into the harbor of San
Juan before he can be attacked by an
over weiming American force. When
ne left S:. Via.censt the Amercan force
was divided. R sar Ad miral Sampson
apparently was f ully occupied with
the blockade of Cuban ports and the
only vessels available to be sent
against him were inec uader Comn
todore Schiey.
RESOLVED TO EVADE CUBA.
Oe c.m p u y Which Will Find no Te onible
in Get ing Becruits.
The Savanahian, says the Savannah
News, received a letter from a lady
friend in a n~eighboring city yester
day, in which sne spoke of the war,
and incidentally the meeting there of
a colored company of infantry, called
together by their captain because of
te sag gestion that a certain nutuboer
of colored volunteers would be called
for. Ts e company met and after due
d&liberation passed resolutions with
regard to the matter. It was evident
frm the tenor of the resolutions that
the coampany was on the war path,
atd wanti d to get into Cuba at once.
lhere'ore, the framer of the resolu
non-s started out by making them as
warm as possible. There was no
doib. as to what the company wanted
to de, but this is what they said in the
fiest resolution:
*Resolved, That this ccmpany do
tender its sezvices to evade Cuba at
once."
iois is orne company which will pro
baby have no trouble in fulle recruit
!fng its rauks, it it sticks to the letter of
its resolutionr.

RIOTS IN SPAIN,
MARTIAL LAW IS PROCLAIMED BY
THE GOVERNMENT.
A Dreieste Cndition of A irirs-The
(jieen Regent et, Bestgn--The T.oube
is a. Oau, e i by tre Sp anleh DI- a!'er at
nat i a.
The Spanish government is having
great Irouble at Madrid and other
ph c's ere:ause of the disaster that
overlook the Spanish neet at Manila.
Tne Qauen Regent is even in danger
and may leave Spain at any time.
A cispa'ch from Talvera annour cs
that rioters there have committed seri
ous disorders. They attacked and
seized the railroad station, burned the
cars and then set tire to ,e ,eral prirate
houses and a ca'e. After that tLe
rioters tried to break ino prison and
release the convicts, but were preven -
ted by the civil guards. Many persons
were arrested.
Owing to the threatening attitude
of the population of various towns,
the autrorities have prcclaimed mar
tial law in the province of Valencia.
Riots have occurred at Caceres, bat
they are said to bave been suppressed
by thegendarmes The miners arcuad
Oviedo, capital of the proviLce of that
name have struck work and disorders
are feared. Reinforcements of troops
have been hurried there.
A retewal of the rioting at Gij o,
tie fortified Eea port of0 7iedo, on the
Bay of BiEcay, is feared and a state of
siege has been declared at that place.
The fisher women are taking the mcst.
active part in the disturbances which
are due to the dearness c f provisions
and the opposition of the people to
the Octroi tax. All the bread at Gijon
is baked at the military depots, as the
rioters are threatening to pillage the
regular bakeries. All the stores are
closed and business is about suspea
ded.
The situation in the provinces is
unchanged and everywhere the dis
satisfaction is gro wing, especially over
the prica of bread. Acts against au
thority are becoming more and m:re
overt. At Caceres, capital of Estra
Madura, the populace marched into
ihe railway station to prevent the ex
port of provisions and overpowered
the soldiers on guai d, capturing 14
carloads of wheat 11 .ur.
All Valencia is in a state of seige.
At Catalan the riotera captured the
may or and town councillors ana de
manded a ransom. Oa the mayor
protesting he was shot through the
leg, after which the gendarmes dis
persed the mob. At Talevara tme riot
ers were most determined, sacking
many bakeries and setting on fire
several government buildings. In the
town of Aguilas. in the province of
Murcia, a mob mostly composed of
women, barned the store houses and
Lfices.
The fisher women who broke out
against the Octroi dues at Gijan re
ceived the most determined aszistance
rom tobacco girls. Together hey
sacked several bakeries and burned
all the Ootroi offic:s, with all the pa
pers belonging to the foreign ships
oading in the harbor. Tne civic
guard was hotly stoned at the prison
and the rioters marched ctf wita the
ron bars of the ja:l. When the trooos
5,ppeared-they were hotly stoned, re
plying with tire and wounding many.
rhe mob then attacked the govern
ment buildings and smashed tne win
dows. The troops again fired, this
time from the balconies, and wound
ing many, but the women kept on
throwing stones. The Justice house
at Talverita was attacked because it
was supposed that grain was stored
there. The troubles are expected to
increase.
IDIOT C RKNAVi.
The M en Canght Tamp 3ring with r ie Fa
ritan'ts Magazine.
Several stor ies have been published
about the detection of Spanish spies
upon our warships, and recently the
liscovery of an effort on the part of a
member of the crew of the Puritan to
blow up one of her magazines has been
variously published. In his special
:orrespondence from the Key West
feet, Mr. Craper, of the Atlanta Con
stitution's staff, gives the details of
the detection and arrest of the Span
iard as follows:
Tae nerson concerned ie a saffron
skinnedl young man by the name of
Calos Yglesias, who is about twenty
seven y ears old; who was born in Ha
vana of a Spasish father and a Cuban
mother; and who, af ter knocking
about the world all his life, enlisted in
the United States navy four or five
years ago, and has been in it since,
with permission to quit whenever he
wanted to.
A week ago last Sunday Yglesias
was the acting storekeeper on tbe Pu
ritan while the boat was cruising off
Matanzas. His rank is that of a sec
nd-class fireman, and he has always
nd the confidence of his superiors to
the extent warranted by his position.
Qn Sunday afternoon he was disco7
ered by one of the monitor's mess boys
industriously boring holes in the side
of the for ward magazine~ with an aug
er, and the executive cli rr being n
tied, had him arrested. 0 ae of pock
ets was bulging with cotton waste, and
the other contained 75 heys of various
sorts. He was in his oare feet, and it
is said that there was evidence on his
oart to set fire to a wooden grating
which connected with the il rr of the
magazine. The arresting cificer was
Gunner's Mate Finn.
Since then the half breed has been
eaflned, heavily ironed, in the Puri
a's brig, and Captain Herrington
oas sent a full report of the occurrence
o Admiral Sampson. Up to the time
this is being wrialen the latter has not
ordered a c2urt martial, and I under
t and that rhe reason for delay is tae
evidence of insanity sh,.n by the
prisoner since nis incarc-ration. His
scheme to blow up the Puritan dis
played no sympton of gcnius, and sa
far as his mates know, he had no mo
tir'e in wrecking the ship. Tne pr-es
ent situation simply means that if he
s ad judged a lunatic by the cour a yetl
to be assemoled, he wat be stfnt to ant
asylum, and if he is found to be sane
ne will be shot.
In the meantime he will stay in the
brig, and until j i gment is passed on
birn no man wil kno w the extent of
i-s guilt. Taere several other men
with Spanish blood in their veins on
our ships, but their presernce is not a
menace in any Eense or the word
?ey are well known to their mates,
and their oath of allegiance is taken
m.r eacrtly what it is worth
CAPTURED AND REL-ASEU.
FreLch Ship Attmrt1 to i m 1L s: d:
ade irtto Havana.
The LaFayelte, of the French Gen
Eral Trans Atlantic company's line, a
vessel of 3,394 tons groas register,
bound from Corunna, Spain, on April
23. for Havana, was c3ptured Thurs
day evening off the latter port by the
United Statcs gunboat Annopolis,
Camrander J. J. Hurker, while try
ioz to run the blcckade, after having
previoui.sly been warned cff. She has
on boa-rd a large number of passen
gers nd a valu tble general cargo,
pcsiibly containing contraband of
war.
Her cspture was ff1cted shortly le
,ore suudown Thursday right in the
followin~g manner: The'- layette was
nuading for Havara as '. vas boarded
by au cAlicer of the Annapolis and
warztd not to enter the Dort. She
after wrds made an attemp-t to do so
and was captur.,d, after an exciting
chase. The Wilmington, Newport
and 'dorrill took part in the capture of
the Fret cimsn.
After an examination o the LaFay
ette's paper had oeen made, a pr:za
crew from the Annap:lis was placed
on board and the ship was sent to Key
West, escort d by the Wilmington
Previous to this step being takten,
Commander Hanker of the Annapo
lis, the temporary ilhg cifiser, and
Commander C. C. Todd, of the Wil
wington exchangedsig Qais for over an
hc ur.
It is reported that the LlFayetie, in
addition to being a large French mail
steamer is a French naval reserve ves
sel mounting guns and carrying a
crew suffizient to make her ready for
active service at short no i e. Tais, it
is said, adds considerably t0 the case.
THE STEAMER RELEASED.
Commodore Watson Friaay after
noon received orders !rom Washing
ton to instantly release ihe Frenca
mail steamer LaFayette and to send
her to Havana under escort. The
capture of the Frenchman by the gun
boat Annapolis turns out to have been
an unfortunate incident, resalting
from mistakes; but no protest has
been made by the representatives of
the Francn government in the United
States.
It appears that before the LtFayette
kailed for Havana the French legation
in Wasnington was instructed to c):n
municate with tne State Department.
?his was done and permission granted
to tne steamer to enter and discharge
her passengers and cargo, with the
understanding thAt sat would ta-ke on
notning taere. Instructions for the
fulfillment of this agreement, were
sent from Wasnington to Admiral
Sampson's squadron and it was ouly
learned ttdiy, after the capture was
made, that they were never delivered
THE SPANIARUS ABANDON BYAMO.
The City Occup:ed by Innurge:t Forces
Under Ge.eral Garcia.
General Pando, the commander
of the Spanish forces in tne field,
withdrew the Spanish garrison from
Bayamo, one of the important to mas
of the province of Santiago de Cuba, on
April 25, and refugees wno have ar
rivea here from Mazzanitlo, the port
of Bayamo, by the scnooner Governor
Blake, say that General C.d1o Gar
cia the insurgent commander, vccu
pied the town the next day. Bayamwo,
or San Salvador, is situated about
sixty mles nortn west of the city ot
Santiago de Cuba. It has a popuila
tion of about 7,000 souls in time o:
peace. There is no knowing what its
population is at present.
The Spanish merchants and resi
dents of Bayamo, it appears, were in
great fear of plunder and massacre,
but General Garcia issued a proclama
tion declaring that the property of
$paniards and their ci.vil rignts would
be respected. This general also per
sonally assured the leading Spaniards
of the place that they were perfectly
safe in remaining at Bayamno, with the
result that tousiness went on as usual
and tratquiiity prevails there. Tne
people began firinging in vegetables
and meat irom the cjuntry and the
prices of provisions fell. Na cases of
outrage have been reported.
General Pando is understood to be
at Manzantilo, near the River Cante,
with the main bcdy of the troops
whose operations he has been direct
ing in eastern Cuba. Up to April 27,
aoout 6,000 men, or one third o: Gene
ral Pand's forces, had been sent to
Havanna, and it is said more of tnern
are to go to the Cuban capitaL. They
will be accompanied oy General Pando
himself. Tne popular~ion o' Manzan
illo, which was about 12.000 souls be
fore the war, has ncow shr unk to 5,000U,
and is dounle and treale the ordinary
prices. But few preparations have
een made for the defence of Manza

appears that Colonel Vicente de Cor

I toL.3 TImely Aid.
A dispatch from Key West, Fla.,
says the government tug Leyden,
Capt. J. H. Angus, steamed into port
Thursday morning, and those on
board told the following story of a
desperate encounter with Spanish
troops on the northern coast of Cuba:
The Leyden le't Key West Monday
afternoon with a party of insurgents
under Gen. Baldamore Acosta and in
ciuding five Cuban scouts under the
leadership cf Capt. J. N. Dorst of the
United States cavalry. The Leyden
also carried a large quantity of arms
and ammunition. Tne tug landed
de men, with four boxes of ammuni
tio'i and two horses. Gen. Acosta
also landed and penetrated to the in
terior, where he communicated with
the forces of the insurgents. The

Spain HatesaPoor Snowing aisEara
tine PFwe r.
Not since the battle of Lepanta in
1571 has Spain given a good account
of herself in naval war-are. In that
battle, with the aid of the Genoese and
Venetian fleets administered such a
crushing defeat to Turkey that it de
stroyed the power of the sultan on the
seas for all time to come. That was
the last of Spain's naval victories.
Seventeen years later she sent her
boasted Invincible Armada, the great
est collection of warships ever reen,
against England. What the storm off
tue English coast left of this splendid
flotilla Francis Drake, the dragon of
the sea, disposed of.
In 1704 Spain lost Gibralter and
E agland has held it ever since. Three
months after its capture the allierd
forces of Spain and France tried to
retake the fortress and lost 10,000 men
in the endeavor. The effort was re
pested by Spain alone in 1720 and
and again in 1727, both times with
disastrous results. France came to
the help of Spain again in 1779 but the
English beat them back from Gibral
tar with heavy losses. In 17818Spain
once more attacked Gibraltar and suT
fered the loss of 40,000 men. France
again aided her in 1782, but the allies
were uiterly defeated. Spain since
that time has given up hop; of recap
Luring G bralter.
On July 31, 1718, Spain lost to Eng
land t wenty-nine battleships at Messi
na. In 1780 Rodney administered a
severe defeat to the Spanish fleet off
Cape Vincent, where her warships
were recently gathered. A far worse
thrashing was given her by that great
est of all sea-fighters, Horatio Nelson,
at Trafalgar, where with a far inferior
fleet he almost annilated the combin
ed naval strength of France and
Spain.
Spain's latest naval defeat before the
oattle of Manila was in 1866 when
Peru, with a few ships, most :of them
borro wed from Cniii, utterly defeated
a stronger Spanish fleet. Admiral
Peleja, rne Spanish commander, was
so mortified at the result that he re
tired to his ca bin and ble w out his
brains.
Commodore De wey and his gallant
men have added another to the long
unbroken and dismal list of Spanish
der eats at sea. Admiral Sampson will
soon add another.
