Fifteen warships are at Admiral Sampson's disposal to pit against the six men-of-war flying the Spanish . They include first-class battleships Lowa, Oregon and Massa- * ehusetts, second-class battleshiy ‘as, armored cruisers New York and Brooklyn, protected cruisers New Orleans, Marbl lis, gunboat N destroyer Scorpion, dynamite cruiser mvius, torpedo boat Porter, fliaty cruisers Harvard and Yale and auxiliary gunboat Eagle. The opinion among officers of the S fleet is that Schley'’s bombardment of the forws bas demonstrated the feasi- BX bility of forcing » passage into the bay under the combined fire of the whole fleet and this program will be carried out. It is possible Sampson will lose a ship in the venture, but it is plain the capture of Santiago must be made by an assault from the sea, To takethe Sgity by land it will require weeks and “perbaps months of time to get troops And guns in position to be any assist- ance to the ships. The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius is with the fleet at Santiago. Her com- mander, C John KE. Pillsbury ee Delieves she can clear the channel of all torpedoes with a few of her 500- pound projectiles. He claims if a charge from a gun on the Vesuvius fell in 200 feet of a submarine mine or torpedo the latter would be ex- ploded, A full-sized shell for one of these guns is 7 feet long an nearly 15 inches in diameter. If the gauntlet is run the hazardous task of leading the first ship through ') the passage will undoubtedly fall to » Commodore Schley. To his division of the fleet will naturally fall the first attack, and if an American ship passes through the bay the commo- dore will be on it, CIRCUIT COURT.

WASHINGTON, June 3; 3:00 p. m.---The official report of Commodore Schiey says that in the bom- bardment of Santiago Monday not a man on the American fleet was wounded nor a ship injured. He attacked the Spanish forts simply to develop the enemy’s batteries and to locate Cervera’s fleet. He did both, and is satisfied beyond a possible doubt that the Spanish fleet is in Santiago harbor. The President has orderei Admiral Sampson to take Santiago,and to capture or destroy Admiral Cervera’s fleet. The President admits today that he is momentarily expecting word from Sampson that this order has been obeyed, and that the big Spanish fleet has either been destroyed or taken. that 30,000 troops are now ready to land at Santiago.
