OF both the South Atlantic and the Pacific
sQuadrons. ar ived here yesterday from Calao
lie came by the Pacific mail steamship New

mand OF the South Atlantic squadron only, and
has left the Pacific squadron in charge OF Ad-
miral Brown. He was ordered to return to his
station by way OF New York. and Is now await
ing orders from Washington.
Admiral Mccain said to a Sun reporter that
tho report published here OF the blowing up OF
the Pcnsacolas launch at africa on June by q
torpedo from tho tonuell WAS nonsense, Tho

and many fictitious details.

absurd"
Admiral Mccain spoke OF the situation In

then have things all their own way. thinks the
