AN IMPORTANT MOVE.
IL IL Expected by the Flying Squadron m
N Few Days.


New York. May "A special to the
Tribune from Key West, via Tampa,
says:
Indications here point to an impor-
tant move by part of the North At
lantic squadron at an early day. Rear
Admiral SIMPSONS feet has arrived 20
coal. There are the flagship New YORK.
the Indiana. the Iowa, the CINCINNATI,
the Detroit and the Mayfower. and
the Ma~rblehead came in with a prize,
h Argonauta.
IL seems unlikely that so few vessels
would have been left to maintain the
blockade were IL not desired to nave
the boats in condition to re-
main for some time away from the
base of supplies. The Puritan has been
here for several days. but II is under
stood to be ready to sail. The Amphi-
trite look on coal last week, going to
the Cuban coast on Saturday. IL Will
not be necessary for the Terror to
come in. as she was coaled several days
ago. She was anchored near the Gu
ban shore and the coal was lowered
from a schooner.
Admiral Sampson has received a
number of messages from Washington,
and his officers and men are more than
anxious for an opportunity to do some
thing. There is a belief that some of
the ships will be utilized In covering
the landing OF the army, the marines
and the Red Cross supplies. Matan-
zas is generally regarded as the most
likely place for this. both on account
of the deep harbor and because of the
distress there among the reconcentra-
dos. The Red Cross ship, state of
Texas. is still here awaiting orders.
and so is the Panther. with nearly 200
marines. The Vicksburg, which ar
rived on Sunday from Norfolk. was In
a tremendous storm off Hatteras. los
ing a boatswain overheard.
IL Is reported hat the Iowa is TO be
detached from the North Atlantic
squadron to join the flying squadron.
She is taking a deckload of coal in ad-
dition to the LOO tons she carries In
her bunkers. She had 700 or 500 tons
when she arrived. She would hardly
have come In for coal II she were TO
stay on blockade duty, and II seems
likely. therefore. hat she Is going a
considerable distance. The New York
and Indiana are also taking on deck
loads OF coal. II will be "a simple mat
ter TO cover the landing of troops
without the aid of the battleships n
the flagship. The torpedo boat Cush-
ing has gone to join the fleet. her ma
chinery being in fine trim again. The
winslow also has returned TO her sta
ton.

Fighting About Bonds.

Washington. May 1.-THE senate COM
mittee on finance, which was I'm session
the greater part OF the day. devoted iself
principally to the discussion of the bond
provision OF the war revenue bill. The
democrats contended that the feature
could and should be dispensed with, while
the republicans held that a bond issue
was necessary to carry on the war. The
democrats will formally suggest some
substitute proposition within a day or
two. Whether their plan will meet with
success i'm committee will depend upon
the vote of senator Jones of Nevada, who
holds the balance of power. The demo-
Gratis feel confident that they will have
his vote. but the republicans do not con-
cede IL. They say. however. that II the
bond provision IL stricken out in commit

they appeal to the democrats to allow
the bill to be reported without it's elimi-
nation on the ground that IL affords the
only feasible means OF raising immediate
funds for the prosecution of the war.
