Spain Decides That She das Zio More Vessel* to Ipirs New York. May 1C —A dispatch to the New Yorlc World from Madrid says: "The reserve fleet at Cadiz is slowly preparing for service. Admir al Camara has assumed command with Captain Hediger as his "major gen eral" as the Spaniards style him—an active officer, who has shaken up all the old officials in the San Fernando arsenal. The tough Admiral Churruea, also lately appointed to a local command, has told Captain Hediger and Admiral Camara that it was useless to try to make them hurry. Marines and sailors have been assembled In greater numbers titan wanted for the vessels ready. From political motives and in order to make it appear to people that the government is preparing to take re venge for the Manila defeat, the Mad rid authorities have asked the naval officials at Cadiz what vessels of war j can be made ready soon to protect I transports carrying 6,000 men to Ma- j niia. General Correa, the war minister, got seven battalions and four batteries ready, all armod, equipped and offi cered. and large steamship companies undertook to provide the eight ships ! required. The naval authorities re- ( port that it would bo impossible to get war vessels ready quickly. They say the battleship I'elayo is not lit for an expedition to the far East and, besides, that she is needed more for the reservo squadron at home. Kor tha same reasons they ob ject to parting with the Emperador ' arlos V, t .ordinal t'isneros and Al fonso Mil, first rate cruisers.

Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state for the colonies, made an im portant speech on public affairs at Birmingham last evening. He said in part: “The time has arrived when Great Britain may be confronted by a com bination of powers, and our first duty, therefore, is to draw all parts of tho empire into close unity, and our next to maintain the bonds of permanent unity with our kinsman across tho Atlantic.” “There is a powerful snd generous nation,” said Mr. Chamberlain, “using our language, bred of our race, and having interests identical with ours. I would go so fnr to say that, terrible as war may be, even war itself would be cheaply purchased if in a great nnd noble cause the stars and stripes and , union jack should wave together over an Anglo-Saxon alliance.” “It is one of the most satisfactory results of Lord Salisbury's policy, and at the present time those two great nations understand each other batter than they ever have done since, over a century ago, they were separated by the blunder of u British government.” Mr. Chamberlain preceded to draw a gloomy picture of the situation in Chinn, "where we Imre to count with ItusMa. as in Afghanstan. except that we do not pnsscsi an army or a de fensive frontier In China nnd can not therefore injure Itussiu without an ally. The fuel tliat tliu whole Chinese empire is invoiced, and our Interests are so enormous that no more vital ijuostlon was ever present ed for deelaion to the Itrttish nation and s lirtliah government L’nless Ui« fate of China is to be decided without Kn/iand's voice, w* ninst not reject thelites of an altiaiue with those powers whose intereste ere similar to ours" _ TK« lie»roll t usllf lu l'«ia New Yam.

Kr.v Wkst, Fla., May 10.—The United .States cruisor Marblehead, tho gunboat Nashville and tho auxiliary cruiser Windom. steamed np to tho harbor of Clenfuegos early Wednesday morning with order* to cut tho cable connecting Havana with Santiago do Cuba. Tills task was accomplished, but only after a torrillc tight between our warships nnd several thousand Spanish troops, which lined tho shore and lay concealed behind improvised breastworks. One man, a seaman named Uegan of the Marblehead, wit* killed outright In one of the working small boats,ur.d six men were sevorely wounded, la addition a large number on board the ship received minor wounds. Captain Maguire of the Wicdotn be lieves that several of the six badly wounded men who were brought to Key West this morning 0:1 the Win dom cannot recover. Following is the list of killed and badlv wounded: Killed—Regan, seaman of the Mar blehead. Radiy wounded—John Davis of New York. John J. Donran of Fall It Ivor, Mass Krncst buntzeanickel. Kerman Ilochnoistor. Harry Hendrickson, all of the Mar blehead. Robert Holtz, Carter county, N. C., of the Nashville. Soon after the arrival of war ship* off Cienfuogos four boats were launc'ne 1 and proceeded Inshore for the purpose of prapplinp for the cable, in order to cut it Tho war3hips lay to about 1,OOJ yard* or more off the harbor. It was observed that the Spanish troops had assembled ashore, hut it was not known thut heavy puns had been placed in a masked battery and that the old lighthouse far out on a neck of land, had been transformed into a formidable fort The small boats proceeded cau tiously. and for more than air hour worked unmolested on thecabie. Sud denly, just as the work was about completed, the shore battery fired a shell at tho boats. It was followed by others, and the bpanish infantry opened lire on them with their rides. Then, like a fiash, the Marblehead sent a shell inland, and followed it with a perfect shower of shot. The Nashville was quick to follow suit, and the little Winilora cut loose with her 4-ponadcr3. In the meanwhile Spanish bullets fell in every direction around the small boats. Though the uttaok had couio suddenly and fiercely, the blue jackets were not dismayed, and, pro tected by the terrific return fire of the warships, work was continued and tho cable cut. With desperate courage they re mained calmly at their posts and suc ceeded in drappiup up the second re lay of too cable and severing it. Seven men badly wounded was the count ami one o. uicm, liegan, ueu while on the way back to the ship. Lieutenant Winslow was shot in the hand and a number of others were more or less injured. On the Nashville, Captain Maynard was standing forward with an ensign when a Spanish bullet passed through the ensign’s shoulder and struck May nard on the chest, wounding him only slightly. Tlie Marblehead was struck scores of times by bullets from ma chine guns and the Nashville suffered to about the same extent The Win dow also had many marks cf the fray. Her shell blowing up the lighthouse and scattering the Spaniards in nil directions ended the battle. Holtz ami Hendricks, who with four others of tho wounded are at the naval hospital here, are expected to die. The body of Regan was buried at sea The Spaniard* hr.d by thi* time suf fered severe lose Their shots from the lighthouse struck the warships several times, atid, although they did not do ii.ueii dxmngo, the tire aroused the determination of the American officers to u* terminate the fort.
