The fleet formed in double column, six miles off Morro castle at six o'clock in the morning. and steamed slowly 8,000 yard soff shore, the Brooklyn leading. followed by the Marblehead. Texas and Massachusetts. and turned westward. The second line, the New York leading. with the New Orleans, Yankee, Iowa and Oregon, turned east- ward. The Vixen and Suwanee were far out on the left flank. watching the riflemen on shore. The Dolphin and Porter did similar duty on the right flank. The line headed by the New York at- tacked the new earthworks near Morro castle. The Brooklyn column took up a station opposite the Estrella and Cat- aline batteries and the new earthworks along the shore. The Spanish batteries remained silent. It is doubtful whe- ther the Spaniards were able to deter- mine the character of the movement, owing to the dense fog and heavy rain which were the weather features this morning. A TORRENT 0F SHELLS. Suddenly the Iowa fired a 12â€"inch Shell, which struck the base of the Es- trella battery, and tore up the works. Instantly firing began from both Rear- Admiral Sampson's and Commodore Schley's columns, and a torrent of shells from the ships fell upon the Spanish works. The Spaniards replied promptly, but their artillery work was of a. very poor quality, and most of their shots were wide. Smoke settled throat was laid open and part of his jaw torn away.

SPAIN HAS HAD ENOUGH.‘ _..â€" Negotlatlng With the Powers fnrflonor- able Peaceâ€"Conference Held at Madrid. The Madrid correspondent of the London Daily Mail says :â€""There is now little doubt that Spain. seeing the hopelessness of further continuing the war. is approaching the powers with a view of bbtaining an honorable peace. The Cabinet Council to-day fin- ally authorized Duke Almedovar do Rio to expedite diplomatic action and in consequence. the Duke is now con- ferring with certain Ambassadors and Ministers in Madrid. Instructions have been telegraphed to the Spanish Minister in Vienna, and orders likeâ€" wise given to Senor Agucra, the Undâ€" to proceed at once to the Austrian capital. Spain is unquestionably looking to Austria for assistance in her distress. It: is unlike- ly that any appeal will be made to the Pope. as the earlier intervention of his Holiness met with a. discouraging reception in America. "Probably Captain-General Augusti will be ordered to make the best terms he can with Admiral Dewey.

Orders have been issued for between 2.000 and 3,000 men to be assembled at Cadiz in case Admiral Camara’s squadron may lack its fullcomplcm'ent. “ All the forces opposed to the Gov- ernmcnt are showing signs of restless- ness. Marquis de Cerralbo, the chief agent of Don Carlos, assures me that while the war lasts the Carlists will remain quiet; but should a dishonour- able peace be negotiated, they will act “in accordance with ideas of duty.’ This is a plain statement and should not be lost sight of. since it is hardly possible that the Government will be able to negotiate a peace which the people will not regard as crushing."

The Spanish cruiser Mercedes was sunk. United States forces were landed at Diaquiri. a short distance east of Aguadores. where they are now en- trenched.

Thirtyâ€"four shots were fired from the Iowa's 12- inch guns. and thirty-eight shots froml her 8-inch guns. There were a few shots from her secondary battery.

Causing a Great Deal ofTroublo at Tampa, Florida. A despatch from Jacksonville, Florada, says: â€"- Advices received here from sources in Tampa which cannot be doubted tell of a very bad state of affairs there and in Ybor City relative to the coloured troops now in camp. Negro soldiers of the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth In- fantry at Tampa heights broke loose last Monday night, and there_was a wild time. The men became intoxicat- ed. and nearly wrecked Ybor City. They fired. forty or fifty shots into some of the houses. In the place known as Fort Brooke the rioters al- most demolished the houses. com- polling their occupants to flee to Tam- pa for safety. It is reported that durâ€" ing the row a white officer of one of the companies was shot and seriously wounded by a coloured private. Com- pany “H.” Second Massachusetts, was ordered out to restore order. and a succeeded in dispersing the negroes to- ward morning the rioting was resum- ed with increased vigor on Tuesday. While the negroes were at. the height of their wild revelry a company of Southern white volunteers appeared and promptly attacked the rioters. A large number of shots were fired. and it is asserted that four negro regulars were killed, although this has not been verified. Several soldiers were more or less hurt. The Second Georgia Regiâ€" ment was ordered on guard duty Tucs- lday night, and prevented any further 5 outbreak. Residents of Ybor City were lgreatly alarmed, and there is much ro castle. as the American admiral had I uneasiness in Tampa over the pre- sence of the colored troops, who are declared responsible for many more or less serious affrays. General Shafter has been urged to place a strong guard around the camp of the coloured sol- diers, and to keep them confined strictly withinits limits so long as they are held in this Sltate.

Manitoba’s claim took up a large part of the time of the House. The Gov- ernment proposed to pay the province $530,901 to recoup it for deductions made from its subsidy on account of the Federal outlay on the legislative buildings and for furnishing. Since the resolution was introduced the Gov- ernment has decided that the province was properly charged for the furnish- ing. It deducted $17,000 from the to- tal on that account, which, with intere est. makes the claim now $498,601. The resolutions were adopted. l MANITOBA SCHOOL FUND.

Mr. Fielding explained that the school fund now in the hands of the Government, from which the paymont will be made, now amounts to $~l7n,70~l. and there is every reason to believe that the school lands from which the fund is raised will continue to increase in value. i v' The resolution was passed.
