Arc Now Known, and the Spanish Fleet is Supposed to be

off the Venezuelan Coast.

REPORTED CAPTURE OF YALE IS DISCREDITED.

(COPYRIGHTED, 1898, by the Associated Press.)

CAPE HAYTIEN, Republic of Hayti, 'May 15.?The United

States storeship Supply, is still here under waiting orders.

It is expected that this point may be used as the base for supplies

for the fleet.

No news of the reported capture of the auxiliary cruiser "Yale, for

merly the American line steamer Paris, has been received here, and

the report is discredited.

The United States torpedo boa* Porter and the storeship Supply,

which have been here waiting orders, have sailed to join Admiral

Sampson's squadron.

Thesquadronpassed Cape Haytien to-day. It is uncertain whether it

will turn southward to meet the Spanish fleet or go first to Key West.

CURACOA', May 15.?'Die Spanish cruisers Maria Teresa, Viz

caya, Almirante Oquendo and Cristobal Colon and torpedo boat de

stroyers Pluton and Terror, which arrived off the harbor yesterday

morning, are still here.

Only the Maria Teresa and the Vizcaya arc admitted to the port

They have bought coal, provisions and medicines and still remain in

port.

The other warships are outside waiting.

The statement that the torpedo boat destroyer Terror is with the

squadron of Admiral Cervera, conflicts with a previous statement that

the vessel had been definitely located at Martinique, where she was

being dry docked for repairs. Probably the Curacoa dispatch should

read Furor instead of Terror.
