Spain Decides That She das Zio More

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

Moreover, they do uot think the

Losnox, May 10.—The Right Hon.
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

AMERICAN SHIPSENTERED
HARBOR TO CUT CABLE.
SOMEWHAT OF A SURPRISE
Th« llnrhlehead, NnliTillA und Windom
If Id Not Know That a lleavjr Ulmkod
Unit tor? l'o?or«(l Thom — A Now
l'orlc Dlapatch Huy* That
the HpanUh D*r»<l I« Es
timated at 400.
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.
Thereafter, for the m.-mcat, the lire
of the warships woe concentrated
up*m the lighthouse and the tinpro
v sed fort was blown to pieces A*
