BUNCE's SQUADRON.
stations of the Vessels After Leaving
ChnrIestOn.

Washington, Feb. 22.-According to ad-
vices at the navy department, Admiral
Bunce's fleet is now practically dispersed
though so advantageously distributed that
it could be assembled in a few days If an
emergency arose. The admiral, with the
New York. Indiana and Columbia, is on
his way to Hampton roads, where his
ships will be coaled and held in reserve
until after the Inauguration. The Mas
sachusetts will be at Tompkinsville in the
next day or two ready for the first dock
ing she has had since her completion,
and the Puritan will probably leave
Charleston directly for the New York
navy yard to test the new dock there, tho
largest on the Atlantic coast.
The Amphitrite and Terror will remain
at Charleston for some time.
The Marblehead takes her station at
Key West and the Vesuvius at Jackson
ville-to prevent infractions of the neu-
trality laws. while next week is to be
spent by the Montgomery at Mobile ana
by the Maine and Texas at New Orleans
in attendance on the Mardi Gras festlvi-
ties of those cities. While the fleet Is
so disposed as to be nearer Cuba than
ever before, ii is explained that this Is
merely due to the necessity of the service,
and the administration foresees no con-
tingency under which the vessels could
be placed in a position at all offensive 10
the amicable relations existing with
Spain.

FAST MAIL no THE SOUTH.
Hard Flight Being Made TO Save the
Appropriation For 1t.

Appropriation For II.
Washington, Feb. 22.-The report of the
postoffice appropriation bill has been de-
layed IN the Senate for several days, ow-
ing to proposition made In the commit
zee to reduce by 20 per cent. the amount
of money paid the railroads for the trans
portation Of the mails. This was agreed
to by the committee, but the railroads
asked to be heard. and several hearings
were subsequently granted. The rail-
showed that the present rates were not In
excess of what ought to be paid for the
services rendered. The postoftice~ offi-
cials also stated that the department was
getting all 1t paid for, and advised against
the reduction.
The committee after looking over the
ground thoroughly, came to the conclusion
that IL would be unwlse to strike I'm the
dark. While IL is believed that the sum
paid was excessive, IL was decided not
TO make any change until the subject
could be further investigated
The committee decided TO strike out the
appropriation Of $4,000 for the special
services south on the Atlantic coast but
this is being bitterly antagonized by all
the southern senator's, and IL ls probable
reconsidered tomorrow before the bill Is
reported Senator Bacon Of Georgia made
a strong argument before the committee,
and stated that this appropriation made a
difference Of twenty-four hours in the mail
service for the whole south and all the
coast states. The bin will be reported to-
morrow morning.
