The story about going to Manlis is described as belog entirely fsins and unfound- ed. The contract was quite legitimate and there was nothing wrong about It. The people concera ed

seems strange that after permission had been granted by the Harbour Master, he should come alongside the wessel this morning and fast evening with the Police and seize the stores that had been put on board. No nodfication was given to the people on board and they feel very sore at the fact of the selzare being made.

The Inspector wore a white uniform jacket, bice trousers and a solar topee; the sergeant belog to fall enllarma. With ut consulting anybody the officers proceeded to overhaul the vessel.

The Washington Post to-morrow will say :| Between 69,000 and 80,000 men will be landed on Coban soll at once. They will wear the outforms of the United States, and they will not return and they have defeated the Spanish forces on the island and the American Bag Bosts as proudly over-Havana as it does over the rules of the Cavite Tertress in Manila harbour. This is the Ides of the military advisers of the admin- stration, and the President approved the plans, The first section of the army to invade Cuba will be the 15,000 or 18,000 troops that are now assembled at New Orleans and Tamps, They are ali reguiars, and most of them are men who have seen actual äghting on the plalos.. They are seasoned, disciplined, effective. They will be followed st once by another army of 10,000 volunteers, who will be concentrated at Southern parts as quickly an the trains can carry them, and will be transported as fast as the nÉGASUREY ships can be collected.

The Spaniards only ceased firing when the vessels were completely out of range. Il all the Spanist gunners had been sufferfog from strablemas, thefe practice could not have been worse.
But the officers of both the Morrill' and Vicksburg frankly admit their own recklessness and the narrow escape of their vessels from destruction. They are firmly convinced that the purest of the sooner was a neatly planned trick which almost prored successful.
The accurate range of the first few shots is accounted for by the fact that the Spanish officers had ample time to make observations. The bearings ofthe two vessels were probably taken with a rings Ender at the Santa Clara bee with Moro, stery is probably connected by wire with Morro, they were enabled to take blog from both points, and by laborious vessels pretty accorutely,

The United States has given notice to the world that It does not want Cubs. Besides | driving the Stanlah troops out of Cabs, the United States has the task of evolving order out of chaos after the Spaolorās baro departed and this may mean the employment of large Theymiary force for an fad-fialte period
Regarding the fight off Havana Harbour the Chronicle's Correspondent says.”
The wlly Spaniardy had arranged a trap to send a couple of our ships to the bottom. balted it as a man would ball a trap. A small schooner was sent out from Havana harbour shortly before daylight in the morning to draw some of the Americans into the ambuscade The rare worked like a charm, The Viking and the Morrill, in the heat of the thare and in their contempt for Spaolah gudbery, walked straight into the trap that had been set for them Had the Spaniards possessed their souls in pr. lenca but five minutes longer, not even their bad gan practice would have saved our ships. The Standard says: "Commodore Deway and the morning two more of our vessels would bus evidently taken as his model for dispatch ife at the bottom, within two tengibs of the writing, that lacosic British seller of famous wreck of the Afafns t memory, he reported a decisive nuval victory On May 6th the Vidure and the Morrill thus: Engaged enemy yesterday. · · Captured cruising to the west of Morro Castin, were fixed ships na per margin,'n

It would have been folly to have done otherwise. But next morning the Spaniards had better luck. The schooner they had sent out be-- fore daylight ran off to the eastward, hugging the shore with the wind on her starboard quar ter. About three miles east of the entrance of the harbor she came over on the port tick. A light bass fringed the horizon, and she was not discovered until three miles off shore, when the Mayfer made her out and signalled, the Morrill and Vicksburg.
The Daily News says : "Commodore Dewey's dispatches, in their conciseness and modesty, are In accordance with the best naval traditions, The battle establishes a secord-among contests of the klud, for one of the combatants destroyed the whole feat of the other wikpat kimse ! sas. esing any loss whatever.

It is especially worth noting that the discipline of iba American ships is reported to have been perfect for many Spanish author ties and some independent cillas thought, that this might be a weak point as the American side.
