AFRAID FOR CERVERA.
Madrid May 28.—A repetition of the
Manila disaster at Santiago Cuba is
feared by every Spaniard as all ad-
mit in confidence If Admiral Cervera
is left to fight against forces three
times greater In numbers than his
own. The uneasiness about the fate
of that squadron hemmed in at San-
tiago has risen to the highest pitch.
Notwithstanding that the official re-
ports declare that Admiral Cervera’s
position there is secure as he can defy
all efforts of the American navy to
enter the bay or to force a way past
the batteries commanding the narrow
channel at the entrance public opin-
ion is decidedly against his staying at
Santiago. Some newspapers clamor
for his getting out as quickly as pos-
sible and making for Havana or those
American ports which are least forti-
fied.
OUR DISPATCH BOAT.
Kingston. Jamaica May 28.—The
United State dispatch boat
Eagle artiver at port An-
tonio this island last evening
It is said she came direct from Key
West but there is a belief that she
may have dispatches to forward. In
view of the neutrality laws here the
commander has been formally notified’
that the Eagle must leave at the ex-
piration of the 24 hours. The dis-
patch boat will take aboard forty-eight
tons of coal and will sail today. The
British steamer Adula is expected here
today from Clenfuegos. When she
reached that port Monday the harbor
master found that she had on board
goods that were not on the ship’s ar-
ticles and he refused to allow the
steamer to leave until Thursday when
she was released upon the urgent rep-
resentation of the British consul at
Clenfuegos. The Adula has aboard a
number of refugees.
ALL QUIET.
St. Thomas Danish West Indies
May 28.—A1l is quiet here and there is
no news of any fleets.
WHAT IS IT?
Kingston Jamaica May 28.—The
marine observer of Port Royal reports
that a large steamer with three smoke-
stacks can be seen to the eastward
headed for this port. The observer
makes her out to be an American
warship but cannot identify her at this
hour.

GEN. COLLIS STANDS PAT.
Thinks We Are Gaining Over Spain
4 to 1 By Delay.
New York May 28.—A special to the
World from Washington says:
Gen. C.H. T. Collis of New York gall-
ed at the executive mansion and held
a long conversation with tne president
His visit it is believed was in connec-
tion with the New York state troops
and their desire to be taken into the
army under the second call. Gen. Col-
lis declined to discuss this matter.
"The people of the United States
should not be impatient over the delay
in invading Cuba" said Gen. Collis.
"We are gaining by it at a ratio of four
to one as compared with Spain. The
fact that our army is deficient in equip-
ment cannot be denied. While our
troops are in camp and obtaining pro-
ficiency in the school of the soldier the
Spanish force in Cuba is battling with
fever and other diseases incident to the
rainy season of the island.
“I expressed the opinion to the presi-
dent that he would have at least fifty
per cent more volunteers than is abso-
lutely necessary for the conduct of the
war owing to the moral effect it would
have on Spain. The president concur-
red in this. I believe it is much better
to keep volunters in camp four or five
months than in the end be compelled
to resort to conscription to fill tne
ranks.
"I was in Spain about seven weeks
ago and the artillery and infantry I
saw were much superior to our national
guard. The men are in better condi-
tion and show the effects of training
and discipline. ‘What we need is train-
ed soldiet's. Our camps of concentra-
tion are nothing more than camps of
instruction.”
Gen. Collis said the president did not
discuss with him the question of the
invasion of Cuba or Porto Rico. The
president had informed him that no
official information had been received
regarding the whereabouts of the Span-
ish fleet.
CIPHER DISPATCHES FOR SAMP-
SON.
Kingston Jamaica May 28.—(1:30 a.
m.) —On Tuesday United States Consul
Dent received Instructions from Wash-
ington to forward to the United States
fleet if possible certain cipher orders
accompanying consular instructions.
Mr. Dent who is of course ignorant
of the character of the orders carried
them in person to Port Maria where
it is believed a dispatch boat of the fleet
was waiting by prearrangement to re-
ceive the expected information and or-
ders.
PARIS LOOKS AT IT BOTH WAYS.
Paris May 28. —The Gaulois says: "It
is quite probable that Schley or Samp-
son will try to force the Bay of San-
tiago risking all upon the attempt for
■the passage is a most dangerous opera-
tion on account of the narrowness of
the channel and the torpedoes that pro-
tect the entrance. This hypothesis is
confirmed by a dispatch from Havana
announcing that the American ships
were being concentrated in front of
Guatanamo and other ports near San-
tiago as well as before Santiago Itself.
The attack of the American fleet upon
the Spanish squadron is the only way of
hastening the conclusion of the war.
It is useles expecting the Spanish ships
will leave the bay. They have adopt-
ed the only tactics that can be favorable
for them namely to avoid a combat in
the.hope that fortune may assist them.
Nevertheless if Sampson does not try
to cut out the Spanish squadron in the
Bay of 'Santiago he may adopt a plan
perhaps more disastrous for Spain. He
might leave Schley's cruisers before
Santiago and go with hts monitors to
bombard the principal Cuban ports.
What would Cervera do in that case?”
DORST TELLS HIS TALE.
The Spaniards Will Oppose the Amer-
can Landing Desperately.
Key West Fla May 28.—Capt. J. H.
Dorst has been doing some very daring
and dangerous work for the govern-
men. He has taken his fife in his
hand a dozen times. His instructions
were to assist the Cdbans in making
connection with the United States offi-
cials. and see that the Remington and
Springfield rifles tor which Gen. Go-
mez was asking so insistantiy got in-
to his hands. But behind this was a
much graver work. It was to ascer-
tain about what the real effective force
of Spain was in Cuba and generally
a'bout what sort of a fight Spain intends
putting up judging from the evidence
obtainable. Capt. Dorst says:
“Spain intends fighting with the fe-
rocity of a century ago. The captured
man will receive about the treatment
accorded to captives by the Apaches.”
He begs to dissipate the impression
if any such be current that it will be
easy to drive out Spain’s soldiery.
“It is well” says he “to bear in mind
that Spain has in Cuba between 60-
000 and 70000 soldiers who have sur-
vived two epidemics and the bad food
and worse sanitary arangements of
Spanish barracks. These men relig-
iously believe that if captured their
throats will instantly be cut. Their
superior officers tell them this the
priests declare that it is true. In the
first two or three battles these sol-
diers will fight with true Latin despe-
ration. The United Staets army go-
ing to Cuba may as well understand
that its business will be serious war.
The native population will help us all
it dares. Finally the sooner we be-
gin the better. This talk about the
terrors of the climate is humbug of
the most arrant kind. The water of
Cuba is excellent and the climate is
a very good one. Those fellows who
come here from Arizona will think the
change simply heavenly.”
THE RESERVES SAIL.
Madrid. May 28.—1 t is officially an-
nounced that the Spanish reserve
squadron commanded by Admiral Ca-
mara. has left Cadiz. Before going to
its destination the squadron will man-
euver probably several days in the
open sea. afterwards immediately sail-
ing for the Philippines Cuba or the
United States as the government may
judge the most opportune. The squad-
ron is understood to be composed of
ten or twelve vessels.
AT CHICKAMAUGA.
Chattanooga. Tenn. May 28.—The
various commands composing Gen.
Brooks' army of 45000 men are rapidly
■being put in good shape and the work
of the whole army is becoming tho-
roughly systemized. Brigade and
regimental drills occur daily at camp
and the Job of making fighting soldiers
goes bravely on.
COTTON DULL.
New York May 28.—Cotton future*
opened dull but steady.
STILL WHISTLING AT MANILA.
New York May 28.—A dispatch to
the World from Manila via Hong
Kong China says: The situation of
the besieged inhabitants of Manila is
growing more and more desperate
owing to the shutting oft the supplies
of food. The blockade of the bay by
Admiral Dewey’s squadron Is complete
while the Insurgents have surrounded
the city on the land side thus effect-.'
ively closing the place in.
Admiral Dewey has deferred aggres-
sive action at this point until the ar-
rival of the United States cruiser
Charleston with coal and ammunition
and of the promised troops for the
military occupation Of the island.
The Spaniards in Manila have heard
a report that & squadron of eight
Spanish warships is coming here to
attack the American fleet. They have
been told also that the smallpox is
epidemic on the United States vessels J
that 300 of the officers and men are
down with the disease and that there
have been fourteen deaths already.
The story about the smallpox is
without foundation. Everybody in
the squadron Is in excellent health the
weather is not severely . hot and no
sickness is apprehended.
NO HONOR TO BLOCKADE.
Madrid May 28.—Senor Castellar. the
Republican leader in an interview on
the subject of alliances. Is quoted as
declaring that he favors Spain's iso-
lation. He recommends a policy of res-
ignation now and the greatest pru-
dence. economy and energy in the fu-
ture. In conclusion Senor Castellar
remarked that “after all the Yankees
may blockade our islands but they can
not blockade our honor.”
