If such is tho case, they must have beeu wantonly murdered. 'Neither Admiral Sampson nor Commodore Schlby beliove that liieutonaut ilobson and his party have bueu killed.

It was tho most deadly and destructive bombardment of the war thus far. There wero no casual itios in tho floet, although tho ships held a fixed posi tion, as if inviting the Spaniards to Jire upon them. The half-stripped ehip's gunners never worked with more enthusiasm.

Voyago of the Fleet The army of invasion left Kgmont Key at noon on Tuesday, June Mth, convoyed by the United States war ships I lidiaun.Castiue, Helena, Annap olis, Bancroft, Morrill and llornut. The passage was nocossarilv slow, as two big water barges and the schooner Stevens, also used for water, had to be towed. At BebeccaSlioals light house, tho fleet was joined by the United States warships Detroit, Osceola, Washington aud Ericcsoti. When tho transport fleet left Port Tampa it was the intention of those iu authority to toko the western course, around Capo Antonio, but later it was decided to go via tho Florida Straits, that beiug a shorter distance. After the fleet got into the rough waters of the straits the transports were formed into threeliues, about 1,000 yards apart, with 000 yards separating tho ships. The voyage throughout was tedious and uninteresting. Tho weathor was excellent and consequently there was little suffering from seasickness. But fourteen cases of typhoid fever and some little measles developed. The surgeons, however, say tho health of the men is exceptionally good. l'robable Resignations.
