"From what I learned, twenty men

said Cnptnln l.lnyd. "Of these six were
mowed down at the. guns and thu

In the defenses,
"The agent ' the line, n naturalized

most ridiculous statements of Spanish
valor and success in the war. One

IS CERVERA TRAPPED?

Lomion. May 2X--According to the
K-st expert opinion in London, if Ad
miral Cervera has gone to Santiago de
Cuba, he has made a fatal mistake.
Vice Admiral I'liillp Howard
Columb, retired, the author of a
nuniber of naval works, In
cluding "The Naval War (lame,"
writes that he is convinced the Span
ish admiral is now unlikely to strike
ntall. He adds that if he enters a
South Cuban port it will scarcely affect
the United States' blockade, for Hear
Admiral Sampson will only have to de
tach a somewhat superior force of his
heavier ships to cover t'ervera'H fleet,
while a group of the lightest mid
Hwiftest vessels would be watching to
nee that he did not move without being
reixirtcil, and all the rest of Hear Ad
miral Sampson's licet could devote
thrmselvcs to the blockade of the other
Cuban ports.
Nkw Yoiik, May 23. A dispatch
from Paris to the New York World
nays: There are remarkable indications
In certain Paris journals, hitherto In
imical, of u complete reversal of the
French disposition toward America.
The (laulols, for example, extols the
cleverness with which Admiral Samp
son Iioh maneuvered, taking advantage
of his opponent's slowness to effect a
junction with Schley nnd thus enable
hi in to divide the forces in two parts.
M. .Inures, In the Petite Itcpublique,
writes in the same strain of America's
"admirable attack and defense, which
hnve been directed with energy anil
life,"
M. .Inures derides Spain for allow lug
herself to be made the sport of clerical
ism nnd militarism.
There is also a strong article In the
Kcho de Paris, signed Henry llaiire,
calling French hostility to her nnclent
friends and clients beyond the Atlantic
foolish and illogical.
'France," the writer says, "is nat
urally drawn to America as a republic,
and should not give way to sudden ten
derness for Spain."
On the other hand. Henry Fnuqulcr.
In thu Dlxneuvieme Steele, writes in a
vein hardly short of Insulting to Amer
ican women for their alleged snobbish
ness in seeking to make out a long lino

Ciiattanooiia, Tenn., May 23. One
man is dead and two fatally injured as
the result of n wreck this morning on
the Chattanooga, Koine A: Southern
railway between Chattanooga and the
volunteer camp at Chickninauga. The
dead and injured all belonged to the
First regiment, Missouri volunteer in
fantry. The dead:
(leorge Walker, artificer, Company I).
The injured:
Alfred M. Lane, private, both legs
broken, will die.
Harvard Italaskl. private, leg broken,
internal injuries, will die.
K. II. Klchurds. first lieutenant. Com
pany II, badly cut about arms and
shoulders.
There were several others badly, but
not fatally, injured. r.'
The train on which the most damngc
was done was carrying the First Mis
souri from Chattanooga to the park.
The last ear of this train was loaded
with horses of the officers.
The military train was standing on
the Chattanooga. Home it Southern
track, just beyond the crossing of the
belt line, about a half mile from lloss
vllle. It was crashed Into by the reg
ular southbound morning Chattanooga.
Home .v, Southern passenger train. It
Is said that there, was no flagman on
the military train.
The shock was severe. The locomo
tive of the pntscngcr train was jammed
into the horse ear, and this ear com
pletely wrecked the baggage ear. which
was the next one forward. The man
who was killed and those badly In
jured were all on the horse ear. Fiery
tiling was done to. stop the passenger
train when the other was seen, but it
was going at too great speed. The en
gineer, W. Wheeler, stuck to his
post to the last and escaped with only
it maimed ankle. He and his fireman
were at once arrested and placed under
a sipuul of soldiers. They are gravely
censured by the soldiers for running
mi rapidly with a special train ahead of
them.
All the horses of the officers, valu
able animals, were killed. The for
ward coaches of the military train were
badley shaken, but no injury was done
to any one in them. The damage
would have been much greater had the
train not been made up in exactly the
reverse of the usual order. If ithadgone
out in regular order the sleepers
would have been in the rear,
and the ollleers who occupied
them would have been In great
danger. The wounded, about twelve
in all. were taken at once in nlinrgc by
Surgeon Wills of the First battalion of
the regiment. Colonel Mil win llatdorf,
commanding the regiment, is doing
everything possible for the sufferers.
Lieutenant Colonel .lohu Jacob Astor
of New York and a number of troops
were on the regular train. They were
not injured.
The First Missouri Volunteer infant
ry is a St. Louis regiment. It is com
posed of 1,050 St. Louis young men.
Thursday evening the regiment, under
the command of Colonel F.dwlu llat

Illinois Central railroad in three sec
tions, for Chiekitiuauga.
EXPECT CERVERA TO SAIL.
The. S1m11l1.l1 Meet, II In Thought In Vn-li-m-ln,
Will Not Wall for .Niiuipton.
V.m.k.ncia, Spain, May 2.I.-Oflieial
dispatches from Santiago de Cuba an
nounce the safe nrrival there of the
Spanish squadron under the command
of Admiral Cervera. Naval authori
ties in Madrid are of the opinion that
there is no fear of attack being
made upon the squadron In the bay of
Santiago, which is well protected by
forts and defensive works, armed with
powerful artillery. As the Spanish
admiral's principal object in entering
Santiago must have been to communi
cate with his government and to take
on coal and provisions, it is extremely
probable that he will have sailed again
before the American fleets can arrive
to blockade him.
Public and technical opinion is unnn
liuous here In advising the government
to send the reserve squadron with a
strong contingent of troops and artil
lery to Manila at once. Everyone in
sists that revenge should be sought off
Manila itself and that Admiral Dew
ey's squadron there could be annihi
lated long before effective reinforce
ments could reach and save him.
There is no disputing the fact that
the most popular thing that could be
done at the present moment would be
the lifting of the blockade of Manila,
the recapture of Cavlte and the sensa
tional destruction of Dewey's forces,
ei en though Cuba should be lost luter
as a consequence.

It Is evident the new Spanish cabinet

WAITING ON SAMPSON.

Ki:v Wi:it, Flu., May 21. F.very
thing is now waiting for Sampson to
llnd the Spanish fleet and destroy it.
The game of naval hiilc-auit-cck of
three weeks' duration is still on.
The news that the ships of Spain had
been able to reach Santiago de Cuba
was telegraphed here last night. Na
val ollleers credited it, but they
wanted further Information. The
theory of the naval men here is that,
the Spanish admiral desires to land at
some point in Cuba in order to put
ashore munitions of war anil cannon.
That he was expected by llluneo is well
known. Kvery light house along the
Cuban coast has been burning every
night In the hope that it would nid the
admiral to reach a friendly harbor.
The government patrol boat Sarasota
was sunk by the pilot boat (Hide this
morning. The (Hide was leaving the
harbor before the hour of resuming
navigation and the Sarasota tried to
stop her. No lives were lost.
No intimation whatever will be given
ns to the movement of the 1'nitcd
States naval forces and seekers for in
formation are left entirely to specula
tion, with nothing except vague and
uncertain rumors for a basis. The
censorship over general presv dis
patches is mi rigid that all avenues of
information are closed and as a conse
quence nothing of an absolutely reli
able character is likely to be given the
public until there has been a meeting
of the hostile fleets. There are all
kinds of reports in circulation, most of
them bearing their own refutation.

Australians are very anxious to join

ENTHUSIASM IN MADRID.

1'leel nt Snnthtgo.
MAniim, May 21. At 10 o'clock last
night the minister of marine, Captain
Aunon, received a dispatch from Ad
miral Cevcra, in command of the Capo
Verde squadron of the Spanish fleet.
It read:
"Santiago de Cubii, Cuba, May 10.
Tills morning I have without incident
entered this port accompanied by
sqiiadrqn. Cevcra."
The mlni'ter of marine immediately
went to the residence of the premier,
Senor Sagasta, and communicated this
information. He then proceeded to
the palace for the purpose of informing
the queen regent, but Her .Majesty had
already retired and the news wns con
veyed to her by the Infanta Isabel.
Captain Aunon then went to the ad
miralty and cabled his congratulations
to Admiral Cevcra on his arrival a
Santiago de Cub.
In an interview to-day the minister
of marine Is quoted as saying:
"I am greatly rejoiced at the safe ar
rival of the Spanish fleet at Santiago
de Cuba. It is an immense triumph for
the Spanish navy. The sailors who
executed the movement nnd those who
planned it are worthy of all praise."
Admiral Cervera, snys a cable dis
patch from Santiago de Cuba, did not
night an American ship during the
voynge. He announces that tho crews
of his ships are in perfect health and
enthusiastic.
Continuing, the dispatch r.ays: "The
blockading vessels quickly left on the
approach of the squadron, whose ar
rival has created the greatest ex
citement ami enthusiasm at San
tiago. Immediately crowds of people
thronged the quays and cheered
our sailors. Havana's relief at the safe
arrival of the licet is very great, as It
was feared the American ships which
left the blockade there had gone to in
cept the Spanish licet. It is now be
lieved the Americans fled in order to
avoid a reverse."
Santiago de Cuba, the port at which
the Spanish fleet is reported. Is about
125 miles west of the eastern extremity
of Cuba. From the east point, Cape
Mais, to Havana, or to Kev West, is
about tiOO miles. Should the Spanish
fleet sail from Santiago and the Amer
ican fleet from Key West, a battle
could not possibly occur for at least
thirty hours. If the Spaniards should
be quietly in the harbor awaiting a
battle it would take Admiral Samp
son's ships about three days- to reach
them. Ily the Yucatan channel the
distance between Key West and San
tiago is about 1,000 miles. It is Im
probable, however. that Sampson's
fleet is still at Key West, or that it was
there when the Spanish licet arrived at
Santiago de Cuba.
Lo.Mio.v. May 21. - The Madrid corre
spondent of the London Standard says:
The blockade of ( 11U1 and Porto Kico
is considered illusiouary in Madrid, as
Spanish war ships and merchant ves
sels arc frequently moving from port
to port between the islands. For ex
ample, the mail steamer Alphonso XIII
went out from San .luuu de Porto Kico
to meet a ve-sel detached from Admiral
Cevera's squadron and then continued
its voyage to Spain after delivering an
important communication for the com
mander. The success o' Admiral Cervera lc
avoiding the American fleets and keep
ing them on the alert excites much en
thusiasm and causes the press to clamor
for a prompt dispatch of tho reserve
fleet to the front.
Wasiiinoion, May 21. If President
MoKinley received any important in
formation before the meeting of the
cabinet to-day. it was not of such a
nature as to be made public, and ho
had nothing to divulge to those who
consulted with him beforo that time.
Senator Shoup of Idaho, who spent
some time with the 'resident to-day.
expressed tho belief that the reported
nrrival of the Spanish fleet at Santiago
was true and that It might have the ef
fect of bringing about an earlier close
of the war than had been expected. Ho
thought, however, the indications were
the war might last a year.
Kivosio.n, Jamaica, May 21. Amer
ican warships engaged the forts at
Santiago de Cuba Wednesday nfter
noon. The firing lasted from noon till
I o'clock, when the warships with
drew. The engagement began with the ap
pearance of the Americans, whose mis
sion apparently was to cut the cables
at Santiago In order to isolate Captuir
(Jeneral Blanco.
The Atlas line steamer Aduln reached
Santingo shortly after the battle and
found the city in a semi-panic. The
volunteers had been called out and the
governor of the province had issued n
proclamation, announcing that Santi
ago was attacked by tho entire Ameri
can fleet and calling upon loyal Spani
ards to co-operate with the military
authorities In its defense However,
the American warships did not return,
und the excitement gradually abated.
Captain Walker of the Aduln, which
arrived hero yesterday with refugees
from Santiago, reports that o far as
ho could ascertain no damuge was done
to the city nor the forts at the entrance
to the harlnir.
