WHAT DOES II ALL MEAN SysteriouS Movements of the Cruiser New York WITH COAL BUNkERS FULL And Provisions For Long Voyage She Sails
 From Boston With Sealed Orders
 Nothing Given Out.

Boston, June 10.-The United States cruiser New York. the flagship of the North Atlantic squadron, with Rear Ad- miral Montgomery Sicard on board, steamed out of the harbor at o'clock this afternoon, not soul on board know ing to what port she is bound and 1t wIlp only be known when the big white cruiser is well outside of the Boston light with her pilot over the side that the sealed orders from Washington will be opened and her destination ascertained. It is generally believed, however that when she reaches Cape Cod she will turn her nose to the southward and that her twin screws will not stop until she is some where in the immediate neighborhood of Cuba, for when she started she was fully provisioned and could, if necessary, go as, far as Rio Janerio without getting any more supplies.
 The New York arrived here on May 26 to participate in the ceremonies attend ing the unvei.dng of the Shaw monument. The battleship Massachusetts came with the flagship while the battleship Texas had arrived some days previously. The Texas left few days ago, but the othen two ships have been swinging at their moorings off the navy yard until today.
 That Rear Admiral Sicard must have had some inkllng of an important cruise seems probable from the fact that for the past few days the Entire crew of the New York have been hard at work getting the ship ready for sea, while her coal bunkers have been filled to overf1owing It was supposed, however. that the cruiser would run around to Few York CT perhaps Hampton Roads and a local pilot was notified that the ship would probably proceed to set in a day or two and that his services would be required
 Early this morning something more than the usual activity was noticed on board and soon the excitement extended to the navy yard. It was seen that all the steam launches were being hoisted aboard and secured as If for a long yoy- age, while extra precautions appeared to be taken to make everything snug.
 At noon an officer came ashore and no- tified the pilot to report on board at once and shortly after 1t became known that sailing orders had been received from the navy department by Admiral Sicard. Shortly after o'clock the guns of the cruiser boomed a parting salute to Com- modore Howison, of the navy yard, the anchor was weighed and the cruiser swung around in the stream and started out eto sea although a furious gale was hIawing. 8 ssss

SOME sURMIsEs
As to the Movements of the Big White
 War Vessel

war NeSSel.
 Washington, June 10.-The naval de- partment officials were singularly re- ticent about the movements of the New York, and showed reluctance to answer any questions. Secretary Long, in ans wer to direct interrogation repllsi:
 "T1le New York is not going to Cuba. She will next be heard from at some pj.f1t on the Atlantic coast we'll north of Cuba"
 The secretary refused ito answer fur ther, stanl1ing on the short reply above given. The chief of the navga ton bu- reau, who usually is always ready to tell where a ship Is bound, refused to say one word as to the destination of the New York. It was learned, however. that the cruiser is expected to report next at Hampton Roads, Va, and that she will be at sea about two days. It is surmised that the navy department which has been charged of late with the whole of the duty of looking after flibusterers afoat, has been advised of the intention of some formidable expedition bound for Cuba to put out from some northern port, possibly out of Delaware bay. or perhaps there is to be a repetition of the Horsa expedition and some steamer is to take on arms for the Cublns off one of the deserted sand banks of Jersey CT Del aware. In such case the department would order out a. small cruiser general 1y, but it is said in this case it was the choice of the vessel able to get under way first
