Spanish Scheme Did Not Work
On the Kate Spencer dispatch boat off Havana, Captain General Blanes attempted a ruse to draw the blockading fleet from six ships. The plan failed as the Spanish cruisers Alphonso XIII and gunboat Legazgos escaped under Santa Clara batteries. The U S fleet pursued and fired, with heavy batteries delivering inaccurate salvos. Officials report ongoing mobilizations for a Philippine expedition and potential prisoner exchanges.
