Fleet Went Northerly. New York, May 23. A dispatch to the World from Kingston, Jamaica, says: Direct Santiago advices say that the appearance of the Spanish fleet off that port compelled four American cruisers, then bombarding it, to retire. On entering the port Admiral Cervera discovered that when the Americans, would now know his position, returned in force, his fleet would be entrapped, as only one ship at a time could pass the channel, so the ships qiiickly coaled and went out, proposing to try to iatch the American ships separated, if possible, or, at any rate, give Sampson battle on the open sea. The fleet went northerly.

A dispatch to the Herald from Mole St. Nicholas, Hayti, says: Numerous and very frequent reports, resembling heavy cannonading, which were heard in the Windward passage Friday afternoon and Saturday gave rise to the rumor that a naval engagement was in progress between squadrons of the United States and Spain. No man-of-war has been seen outside the harbor, however, and none has entered it. It has been impossible to learn whether or not a naval battle actually took place. To MiiniMivrr in Cadtai Madrid, May to current- report here, ihe Spanish reserve lleet will maneuver in waters until its destination is decidfd upon.

It is rumored that the Spanish authorities propose to fortify the "Queen of Spain's chair," on the summit of a mountain overlooking Gibraltar, and thai they also intend to erect fortifications upon Europa point, at the eastern entrance of Alge'ciras hay, and facing Gibraltar.

Originally opposed to home rule for Ireland, he finally became Its ablest and most earnest champion, and what Ireland has secured in that direction to-day, even through a conservative administration, it owes more directly to Mr.

Gladstone than to all other men. Mr. Gladstone's numerous literary productions appearing during a busy parliamentary career bespeak the drift of his mind towards religious Inquiry and even theological controversy, as well as classical study. It Is to his abilities as an orator and thinker on questions of national polity, however, that the world will look for an explanation of his influence and the basis of his fame. As a parliamentary debater It Is confessed that he was without a rival In his if he had an equal in English history.

Mr, Gladstone was to English legislative history what a Webster or a Clay were in America a half century ago, or to great political reforms in some sense what Abraham Lincoln was at a later and more stormy period. While no other statesman of his own or any other nation has equaled him In the length of his public career, covering a period of nearly two-thirds of the century, It is equally true that no statesman of the nineteenth century In any land has equaled Lincoln alone the Importance and far-reaching- effect of the reforms which lie Instituted. His name will go down in history as that of England's wisest, most liberal and progressive statesman. Sixty Killed.

A strong belief exists, however, that he will be forced to battle. Both sides of the island are now patrolled by United States warships, and t'he naval authorities will not admit the possibility of Cervera's escape without the most desperate conflict in the history of naval warfare. Sums Tip the Situation. A member of the administration said yesterday: "The Impatience for news of what Is being done naturally makes the public Impatient with the whole situation, as It appears from the outside. Men who watch the newspapers and the bulletin boards are like those who watch the pot which Is desired to boll.

We are all listening for the click of the telegraph that will tell what Sampson and Schley are doing, but we must have confidence In those naval commanders and their squadrons. Sampson cannot carry the end of a telegraph wire with him to report every movement he makes, and we must all wait, just as the people everywhere have always waited, for the news of naval battles. "When you come to look over the whole situation this war is moving rapidly and we are hurrying troops to the points of embarkation for Cuba and the Philippines more rapidly Mian we can secure transports. A war between two nations cannot be fought In a day, especially when one nation shows no disposition to tight for anything except delay." To Invude Cuba. Washington, May is learned on good authority that the Cuban invasion will begin at once.

It is understood that the first detachment left Tampa on transports Saturday, and the other boats will leave on each succeeding day until 00,000 men are landed.

Gen. Corbin up to o'clock Sunday night indicate that 100,000 volunteers have been mustered.
