Jan. 15.-A special to the Herald from Washington says: "And the attorney general avers that all the herein above named ves sels of the king of Spain were sunk or destroyed on or about July 3, 1SP8, by the Ubellant (Rear-Admiral Samp son) and the vessels under his command," This Is an extract from the answer Just filed by Attorney-General Griggs to the libel filed In the supreme court of the Dlstrlot of Columbia by Read-Admiral Sampson in Ills own behalf and also ln behalf of the other officers and emltsted force of the North Atlantic station who took part ln the Santiago naval engagement against the Infanta Maria Terresa and mis cellaneous stores and supplies cap tured upon her and other Spanllsh war vessels. It forecasts the purpose of the de partment of Justloe to support the contention the I the armored cruiser New York actually participated in the battle with Cevera' fleet and that her addition to the force made it su perior to the Spanish squadron.
