Their Home Port.

 

 

 

SAMPSON’S WAY IS CLEAR

State Department Gives Official No-

tice of Spain’s Retreat—Plans of

the Strategy Board Completely Up-
let—Pluns of Military
Campaign Changed—Now for Porto
Rico, and Then Cuba.

Washington, May 11.—Secretary
Long yesterday afternoon received a.
cablegram announcing the arrival of
the Cape Verde fleet at Cadiz, and the
following statement was given out by
the State Department:

"Official information has been re-
ceived. that four Spanish cruisers and
three torpedo boat destroyers have re-
turned to Cadiz."

Not long after this was made public
Secretary Lon-g told the newspaper men
that he had received advices from the
American Naval Attache at the British
Legation in London confirming the
State Department’s report.

The strategists, of coume, were upset
by the news. 'They have been morally
certain, in the absence of any informa-
tion, that Villamil’s ships were at the
Canaries or anywhere but beating
westward on the high seas, that a. crash
between the belligerent Atlantic squad-
rons was a question only of hours. Ad-
ministration oflicials did not have to do
much thinking to arrive at these con—
clusions:

First: That the seizure of the harbor
of San Juan de Porto Rico by Rear Ad-
miral Sampson is a certainty, and that
it may have occurred already.

Second: That the invasion, of Cuba. by
the American Army will be hastened
as quickly as trains and transports can
travel, and the Spaniards driven out of
Cuba.

Third: That as soon as the combined
Spanish squadrons now at Cadiz can be
made ready for sea. they will proceed
across the Atlantic to engage our ships
and perhaps menace our coast.

It is quite probable, in the absence of
any information from the Navy De-
partment -on this interesting subject,
that no mess-age will be received from
RearAdmiral Sampson un-tilafter hehas
accomplished the mission on which he

and Naval

set out. with the big ships of his block- '

ading fleet at daybreak on last
Wednesday momiwng There is little
doubt that his instructions were much
similar to those which President Mc-
Kinley caused to be cabled to Bear Ad-
miral Dewey a1 Hong Kong on the day
that Congress passed the joint resolu-
tion declaring a state of war against
Spain to exist.

The instructions to Sampson, which
probably were not altered in the dis-
patches which the cruise-r Montgomery
got when she called at Cape Haytien
on last Sunday, undoubtedly were to
destroy the Cape Verde ships and seize
Porto Rico’s principal harbor. The big-
gest part of this-contract the 'Ameri-
can commander now, of course, is un—
able to execute, but the seizure of San
Juan remains for him to accomplish.
The strategists all along ha've calculat—
ed this pan of the programme to be a.
military necessity.

Whethei the disappearance of the
Viilamil squadron from the naval map
would alter their: reasoning is not
known to the laymen. However that
may be,
patches from the Navy Department
counterm‘anding the original blanket'
instructions could reach Sampson in
time to prevent operations against San
Juan.

Therefore, a dispatch announcing the
fall of San Juan may :be expected be-
fore another day, according to the cal-
culations as to the progress of the flag-
ship New York, the battleships Indi-
ana and Iowa. and the other vessels
with the monitors Terror and Amphi-
tri-te in tow.

It is hard to tell whether the naval
officials were relieved or disappointed
by the news that the Spanish flying
squadron had arrived at Cadiz. The
safety of the Oregon from. attack is'
now completely assured, and the way is
clear for military operations in Cuba
without running the risk of having the
occupying army's line of communica-
tion cut off. On the other hand, it is
believed that no enduring peace can be
secured until the Spanish navy has
been destroyed, and it now appears
that to do this our sailors must make
up their minds to go after the Spam-
iards—a1task very much more difficult
than that of meeting 'them near our
own shores.

 

The principal vessels of the squadron
which sailed from the Cape Verde Isl-
ands about ten days ago, and which
are supposed to be the ones reported
at Cadiz, are the four armored cruisers
Vizcaya, Almirante Oquendo, Maria
Theresa and Cristobal Colon. The
squadron included the torpedo boat de-
stroyers Pluton, Terror and Furor.

The Junction of the Spanish fleet at
Cadiz, which includes the battleships
Pelayo and the Emperador Carlos V.,
with the vessels which sailed from the
Cape Verde Islands and are now re-
ported to have arrived at the Spanish
port, would give Spain the most power-
ful combination of fighting ships She
ever'had.

The failure of the Cape Verde fleet to
cross the Atlantic, if true, leaves Porto
Rico practically at the mercy of Ad-
miral Sampson’s squadron. It relieves
the battleship Oregon, the gunboat
Marietta and the cruiser Buffalo, now
on their way up the Brazilian coast, of
fear of attack by an overwhelming
force of the enemy.

The massing of virtually her whole

naval strength in one fleet may mean '

that Spain is going to play a. waiting
game, and meanwhile keep her fleet for
the defence of the peninsular, leaving
her colonies to be defended by the
forces now guarding them. or that she
means to put all her strength behind
one last telling blow at the United
States.

Maybe Spain Means to Give Up Cuba.

London, May 11. —There is no confir-
mation of the report that the Spanish
fleet’ from the Cape Verde Ibland-s has
returned to Cadiz, but it is generally
regarded as the most likely movement
to be made, and as an indication that
Spain has decided to let her West In-
dian possessions go. ' '

The question is generally asked,
“What possible use has Spain for con-

filming a. hopeless struggle?” as it is

considered next to impossible that she
has any alternative plan or “that the re-

it is not likely that any dis- I

' nearer the squadron hides mafia?

egic design.
NO NEWS FROM SAMPSON.

 

Porto Rico Is Now Practically at 111.
Mercy.

Washington, May 11.—Although the

the Navy Department are all anxious-
ly awaiting news from Admiral Samp-
son’s fleet. nothing has been received
at the department officially from either
the Admiral or any of the Government
officials.

The latest reports at the Navy De-

they are proceeding slowly toward
Porto Rico, not only to save coal, but
also because the big monitors Terror
and Amphitrite ,are being towed in
order that their coal may not be con-
sumed. At the rate “they are going,
they ought to reach Porto Rico some
time to-day, if they have not already
done so.

The department does not credit, the
reports that the Oregon is the object of
attack by the Spaniards.
of the sailing of the Spanish fleet from
Cape Verde it was announced that
while the fleet went west (certainly for
twelve hours), two transports and three
torpedo boats were sent back to the
Canary Islands. It was thought that
if the westerly course taken by the
fleet were merely a move to deceive, it
would take a wide circle and join the
transports and torpedo boats going to
the Canaries.

The announcement in a London dis-
patch that the transports and torpedo
boats have arrived at the Canaries
without the rest of the fleet is regarded
as confirming the theory that the fleet
kept on toward Porto Rico. There was
some uneasiness caused by the anv
nouncement of the cable being cut be-
tween Montevideo and Rio Grande du
Sol, and the report that was spread
abroad that it was done to conceal the
movements of the Spanish fleet, and
that perhaps the fleet, instead of com-
ing to Porto Rico, was going around
the born to California to attack San
Francisco. This was, however, laughed
at, because it would take sixty days
for the trip, frequent coaling, and long
before the vessels could reach Califor—
nia the war would be over.

It is said that the interruption of the
cable-can hardly have any bearing 011
the Spanish cable, because it is said
that this cable is frequently out of
‘order, and this may be the trouble with
it now.

The programme for Admiral Samp-
son‘after reaching Porto'Rico will de-
pend entirely upon circumstances. His
[instructions have been to seek and de-
stroy the Spanish fleet, but u l1ethc1 his
orders direct him, in the absence of the
enemy, to bombard Porto Rico, is not
knowu, and his full instructions’are
kept closely guarded.

 

Do Not Expect Spain’s Fleet.

’ Washington, May 11. —The President
is inclined to believe that the Spanish
fleet has not vent-med into American
waters, lut is bound to the Canaries or
nearer home.

With the fleet failing to put in an .39-
pearance around the West Indies, ac—_
tion against the. Island of Porto Rico
will not be much longer deferred, and
important news from that quarter is
momentarily expected.

I It is felt that the next few hours will
determine beyond further question

whether the Spanish fleet, which léft'
the Cape Verde Islands, did in feet .
come to Porto Rico, or diverge noith-'

wardlback to Cadiz for a formidable'

concentration of the strongest ships of

the Spanish navy. In the latter event

Admiral Sampson will have no Spanish
fleet to fight, save those smaller craft
in Cuban waters. It will leave'the
course free to the Oregon to make a
juncture with the fleet, and also will
leave Admiral Sampson's hands free
for attention to Porto Rico or Cuba.

HURRAH FOR PRIVATE Jones.

ii: an Act of Bravery Be Saved the Lives
of His Comrades. , -

With his bare hands, Private John
M. Jones, of Battery 1, regular army,
extinguished a fire in a smoldering bag
that contained fifty pounds of powder
during the time the jubilee salute of
twenty-one guns was being fired at
Lime Point. It all happened in an in-
.stant, but it was one of those brief
periods of time that seem an age, and
that often make brave men grow gray.
The event came about in this way:
Lieut. Charles W. Foster, of Battery I,
stationed at Lime Point, was detailed
to take charge of the firing of the sa-
lute from the Marin shore, and with
him were Sergt. M. .L. Mitchell and
Privates Davis, Dunigan, Seigle, Mor-
ley, Winters the gunner, and Jones.
The squad loaded one of the big 15-
inch guns with 50 pounds of black pow-
der. The priming wire was driven
down the vent-hole, and the friction
primer put in place. At the signal the
gunner pulled the string. The big gun
was silent. Three times this was re-
peated, and the lieutenant came to the
conclusion that the vent hole had be-
come clogged. He ordered the powder
charge, which was sewed up in a wool-
en bag, to be withdrawn. This Was
done by screwing a worm, fastened to
a primer staff, into the bag and pull-
ing the bag out. This took the com-
bined strength of Privates Davis, Dun-
igan, Seigle and Morley, for the charge
had been rammed home hard.

As the bag of powder dropped to
the ground every man turned pale in
the expectation of being blown into
eternity the next moment. The last
primer had set the woolen bag on fire,
and in an instant the Whole charge
would explode. With one bound Pri-
vate Jones was beside the smoldering
bag, and with his bare hands he rolled
and smothered the burning wool be-
fore it could ignite the powder, and to
make sure he plastered some damp
earth into the singed edges.

The danger passed, the brave fellow
arose, stepped back to his place and
touched his cap in salute to his superi-
or ofiicer. His face was white, and
beads of perspiration stood out on his
forehead, but not with fear. The

 

 

whiter, and for a moment no one
spoke. Then all broke out in thanks
and praise for the noble act that had
saved their lives, oflicers and privates
alike—San Francisco Call.

It is a well-known fact that, but fat

which follows gas explosions in mines”;
the number of miners who might b0
able to escape would be very largely“
increased. A helmet has been devised
which, it is said, will enable its wearer
to live for half an hour in an atmos-
phere which without it would Pro" ‘
fatal in a few moments. The helmet,
which is to be worn over the head and
face, is constructed of a. special asbes-
tos tanned leather, or asbestos cloth,
rendering it proof against fire, heat,
steam, boiling water and all poisonous -
fluids. Sitting close on the shoulders,
it is held firmly by two straps under
the a1ms. At the back of the helmet
is a metal reservoir, from which the
wearer is supplied with fresh air at
the natural air pressure, and 20 degrees
cooler than the outside atmosphere.
This tank has a capacity of 100
poun 5 pressure of comp1c--ed air.

 

l L is always ready for service,
the same pressure of pure air be-
ing retained for months . The

amount of air in store can be seen on
the gauge attached to the reservoir,
which can be quickly charged by an air
pump. A lever on the top of the res-
ervoir forces the air through the sup-
ply tubes to a point inside and direct-
ly in front of the mouth and nostrils.
The supply, which is under natural
air pressure, can be adjusted to the
comfort of, the wearer of the helmet.

Much care and attention is lavished
these days on the underskirt. Many wo-
men wear only one of these nowadays,
but the gown is assured of a. better
shape, fit and hang if the long under-
skirt is supplemented by an additional
skirt falling to the knees or a little
below.

In this season of the year the second
underskirt is made usually of pique,
flannel, cotton flannel, or, more elegant
than any of these, light surah, lined
with crepon. ‘

Women with stout figures whose hips
the wearing of a', second underskirt
makes too prominent, usually wear a
single long underskirt falling to the an-
kles. This single skirt, when made of
silk, is usually lined with surah or pol-
onaise, as much to give it shape and
durability as to make it comfortably
warm—Philadelphia Inquirer.
