Spain Has Not Twelve Vessels West Indian Waters, Nayy Momentarly Expecting News Of Naval Engagement Between Samp son and Cervera If Cervera Goes to Cienfeugo He Will Meet Schley. Washington, May 23. The war de partment has been unable to confirm the rumors current, of an engagement between the American fleet and Span ish fleet off Mole St.:NIcholas. It Is barely possitle, however, that Samp son and Cervera have met by this time, yet the department lias no word of such a conflict. The news of Samp son destroying the entire Spanish fleet is almost to great a victory for belief. It would have been a greater victory than Dewey's conquest at Manila. If true however, tho department expects news before night, as the dis patch boat Dauntless, Is one of the swiftest in tho navy which has gained more notoriety than any other Ameri can craft as a fillbusterer. Sinking twelve warships and only two men killed and two vessels in. j tired is more than the most sanquln could have anticipated. Everything 1 s at the highest point of expectancy and both naval officers and correspon dents are looking for a dispatch boat to come steaming up tho channel at any hour with the news that the. hos tlle fleet was coming to bombard Key West or Havana. In the absence of Information tha t the fleet under cervera has left Santi ago, the administration ofllcfals are hopeful that the ;wlly Spaniards are still at that port. They are expect ing a battle and are confident that will occur within 24 hours if Ceryera does not make another quick retreat. Great confidence is felt at the nayy department that the departure of the Spaniards from Santiago will be known within 15 hours after they they have sailed as the officials feel certain that Ceryera was at Santiago early this morning. The general understanding here Is that one of thedlvisions of Sampson's fleet, either under his personal com mand or that of Schley, will be off Santiago early today. The report that the Spanish fleet had "gone lame" and the Intire fleet was badly oil fur dial and provisions, has encouraged the department In the hope that Cervera will be de tained until the American squadron has readied a southern Cuban port. Tho only basis for the sensational dispatches cabled from here yester day to the effect that twelye Spanish warships had been destroyed in an engagement off Mole St. Nicholas was the report made by a Ilaytien coast ing schooner that on Friday night the had heard that canonadlngoff the coast of Cuba. So far as known there is no fleet of twelve Spanish ship3 In the West Indian waters. Navy department is momentarily expecting news of a naval engagement between Sampson and Cervera. The state department last night received several cablegrams from Paris and it is understood they concern movements of the Spanish squadron. There Is reason to believe Cervera, after land ing Rome ammunition atSantlago and coaling up, left for open 3ei. There are three points, to auy one of which he might go-Clorifufgos, went of Santiago on the southern coaflt of Cuba; San Juau do Porto Rice, and Havana. An attempt to reach the latter place would nc'cessltate sailing through the Windward passage and tn flinf. nvnnt. tin wnnlri nnnnnntnrl Sampson's fleet, which Is understood to be due at the Windward passage Just now. If Cervera went to Cien fuegos he would be certain to como up with Schley, who is due off that point this morning. If. however, Cervera Avcnt to San Juan do Porto Rice and remained there but a short, time there would not be the same certanlty of catch ing him as there would be If ho went to cither of the other two places. There is a well denned Impression In the navy department that If con tending forces have not niet, they are certain to do so beforo the expiration of many hours. Tho made by well informed contention is persons that west Sampson, whatever move to some of his ships made, has the Wind ward passage well guarded. T LATE WAR BULLETINS.

BmfsO 0tirstU yf " I"8 ' w raw wwn mmmHinunjtMm CYCLONE Swept Over Goldbug Phalanx- Republican Arguments tirely Demolished, En Eloquent and Earnest for Popular Liberty, Plea Magnificent Speech of Hon. James H. Davis, of Texas. Armory Hall Saturday Night Killed to Its Utmost Capacity With Brainy Mtn and Men Who Pay the Taxes, To gether WMi Thiiir Wiyes and Daugh ters The Argument Plain and Un answerable, the Speech Eloquent and Patriotic Much Enthusiasm Dis played A Brief Synopsis of a Great Speech. Hon. James II. Davis of Texas, who his aggtesslvc and Invincible man ner of speaking is known throughout the entire country as Cyclone Dayls, on behalf of the Union; state ticket, made a powerful, forcible,cloquent and unanswerable appeal for tho restora tion of tho God given liberties of a free people at tho Armory hall, Sat urday night, Tho audience was very large and must have been made up of at least one thousand people, every scat was occupied and many re mained standing throughout tho en tire long speech. It was a represen tative audience, composed of brainy men, men who labor and pay tho taxes, together with their; wives and daughters the kind of people who cojoposoa great community. While the largo hall was being tilled with people, a number of patri otic alw were played by the H. A. C. band. In tho rear of the platform was draped the national colors, forming a background for the pictures of Presi dent McKlniey, Hon. Will E. King and Col. William Jennings Bryan, of the Third Nebraska Volunteers. A number 0 prominent citizens were seated on the stage, among whom wus Judge T. 0 Davidson, who Intro duced the Cyclone. There were many in that vast au dience who had before listened to the matchless eloquence of this tall and uncouth man from Texas, and they knew what was in store for them, but to the rest the Inimitable speech came like a revelation. It began with elo quence as bcautious as a bright sun rise, contlnusd with logic aud argu ment as strong as the sun at its noon day zenith and closed with oratory as as grand us glorious sunset. Mr. Davis is tall, spare and thin like Abraham Lincoln, and like Abraham Lincoln too a man of the people, u disciple of tho Lincoln doc trine that money made by this great republic is good enougii to run a war on, and like Abraham Lincoln too, he believes no creature should become greater than its creator unci no bank or corporation should arrogate to Itself the right of tho government that made it, of coining the currency of the people. government drifting away. Mr. Dayls began by saying the his tory of the world had always shown that as the government drifted farther from tho people, the pcoplo were worse off. There were getting to be under this government but two elements In society, the extremely rich and the extremely poor, and tho history of the world had shown that the downfall of all great gov ernments had been caused by a clash between these two elements. In a government founded on just prin ciples there would cever bo any ex tremely rlchir extremely poor either, unless made so by some dire mis fortune. Hoquuted from the Dec laration of Independence that all men were created equal and that govern ments derived their existence from the consent of the governed. There whs no devine law of kings and shonld be no privileged classes. "Would you," he asked, takeaway the earth from under the feet of the people and give it to lords, dukes and corporate powers ? FIGURES don't lie, ne gave some figures compiled by careful btatlbticlans, there was land enough in the United States and ter ritories to support three flfthsof the entire population of the world, enough land to support 300 times as many people as wo now haye. All these could bo homed and housed aod then the population be no denser than that of Holland or Germany. Then ho gave tho reverse; out of 70,000,' 00 people In this country, over 35,000, 000 aro homeless, do notown a foot of soil. This In spite of that Inalienable Instinct In all men, tn beasts of tho field and fowls of tho air to have n homo The aristocrats of Europo and the corporations here, owned by paper title enough land to make eleven average size states and hold mort gages over enough more land to nioko nine more averaged sized state", Tlioy ulso nwn all the great highways, the railroads and they own, as well, two thirds of nil the money of nil "kitul In tho United States.

This Indebtedness, would make 8510 ahead to every man, woman and child under our flag The niero Interest on this debt ut 0 per cent, amounts to over $30 a year to every living human belug In the Uni ted States. "As .Americans can you pay tills debt. Isn't It a physical Impossibil ity?" he asked and In answer quoted from McKlnley'sGage.and Cleveland's Carlisle that Mil per capita money In this county was only about $25; not enough fi pay annual Interest on the public indebtedness. lie then pro ceeded to give the remedy lor this. otullMori of affairs proposed by t lie Hi-form party of opening the mints to both tin- precious mclalsand thus providinga larger clrcuhtlng medium. Ilo explained that there was not a slngio government bond In existence that had any clause In It providing for its payment in gold and thoro was no law on the statute books looking to any such provision. TKIUUTE TO LINCOLN. Tho speaker then paid an elegant tribute to the honesty and statesman ship of Abraham Lincoln who success fully carried on a long and bloody war, which freed millions of slaves and healed a severed union, with the money of the people, Issued bygovorn ment, a man who steadfastly refused in spite of disaster to the Union arm ies, In spite of tho fact that at times Gen. Leo with an army 60,000 strong was at times In sight of tho Nutlon's Capital trying to destroy It, despite all this, ho refused to bow tho knee to Mammon or to give over to corpora tions any of tho rights of the govern ment, or to Issue a single bond. His tribute toLlncoln was eloquent In tho extreme and created the most heart felt cnthusiam. no most humorously and at tho samo time, in a perfectly convincing manner explained "tho money good in "Yuroup" cry of tho g. 0. p. and In tho same way disposed of tho "wheat and silver" gospel of Geer. Mr. Davis was listened to most at tentively and was frequently glyen much enthusiastic applause during the two hours which he spoke, Public Speaking.

At army headquarters yesterday there was a9 much nctlvlty as thero has been any day during tho past two weeks General Miles and his aides were at their respective desks and work proccededi as Industriously; as during tho regular working days of tho week. General Miles refused to say whon ho will start south, but it Is known that tho quartermaster has secured tho necessary transportation for hi in and mcrabers of his immedi ate staff who aro now already in Florida. Two sleeping cars aro kept ready for their crows in tho railroad yards prepared to movo on ten mln. utes' noMco.

It Is tho Arm conviction of the au thorities that by this evening rum ors of a hot naval engagement will havo resolved Into a dollnite report of a meeting between Sampson's and Corvera'8 fleets. No one believes that the Spaniards haye succeeded in eluding tho Atnor'can admiral. For three or four days tho strategy board has succeeded In misleading the public as to the whereabouts of the fleet and at the samo tlmo the board has had more exact knowledge of Cervera'ssquadron than Vras deemed wiso to mako public, Sunday has been tho favorite day for naval battles over sinco sea power became an Important factor in the settlement of International disputes. Tho Manila light of three weeks ago occurred on Sunday and each recur rence of that day sinco has been ex pected to bring news of an Atlantic contest equal to It In Its bearing on tho final outcome of tho war. Should tho night bring news of an engagement in tho West Indies, with a victorious outcome for America, the first movo toward tho Invasion or Cuba will bo mado tomorrow, with out doubt. The authorities have held back the army partly because of lack of preparations, but principally because of a desire to avoid a meeting between the transports and a flying section of the Spanish fleet. Since Schley reinforced tho American fleet In Cuba witters with his powerful squadron, tho danger of such a nipet- mg tins oeen reduced to the minimum and in the meantimo tho ordnance and commlsarv sunnlies. uniforms tents and other equipments have been nushed towards Mm miif wit.i. such energy that at last the army Is leaay anatno movo is to bealn at once.
