Commodore Watson arrived on the

ed to make quick preparations to coal
ships. The ships already in the harbor
have been ordered TO get up steam

are ignorant of what this may indi-
cate. The announcement from the
north Of the coming of the flying squad
ron strengthens the theory held here
that a movement of some kind is con-
templated. The chief factor in the sit

THE GUSSlE'S FAILURE.
Due TO the Fact That the Insurgents
Failed To With Them.

Due 10 the Fact That the insurgents
Failed 4 % Connect With Them.
Key West, May 17.-Capt. Dorst says
the failure Of the expedition OF the
Gussie was due to the fact that the
Cubans were unable to meet h land
ing party ut the rendezvous. and the
Americans could not land supplies
with no one to receive them.
The arrangements for making n
landing at Cabanas were a ten
days ago by Capt. D0rst with Gen.
Delgado, in command Of the insurgent
forces in the Province of Pinar del
Rio and the supplies TO be landed near
MatanZas were to be conveyed TO Gen.
Gomez by a force OF insurgents, EN-
camped three miles back from the
coast line. Both of the Cuban parties
were unable apparently, to appear at
the rendezvous owing to the activity
Of the Spaniards.
The captain says the company which
landed through the surf at Cabanas
had a narrow escape. The soldiers
were fired upon by Spanish cavalry
concealed in the land underbrush ana
the fire was replied to with the result
that one Spanish officer and three men
were hit. Only one man on the Anlerl-
can side was wounded the latter a

some of their shells burst close on
board. but none of the fragments
struck.

The profound impression produced
when two hundred and sixty sailors
persisted with the warship Maine is
contrasted by a Chicago paper with
the apathy of the people v the an
nual loss of four thousand lives be-
cause of the contaminated water sup
ply Of that city. This gives the Union
Signal occasion to call the attention of
the American public to the annual sac
rifce of a hundred thousand lives by
the use of more dangerous kinds OF
drink. We may take a wider view still.
In the whole United States, the num-
Der Of deaths per annum is about eight
cen hundred thousand. According to
