NO NEWS GIVEN OUT
W tho Navy Department Regard

By tho Navy Department Regarding
Movements Of Fleets.
WASHINGTON, May 16.--The navy
department showed its usual sigrs of ac-
tivity to-day. and yet there was an abb
solute lack Of official information con.
icerning. the fleets. 1t was assumed from
this that no engagement had occurred.
as the navy department has been frank
to give-out full reports OF actual con-
flicts, even -'hile guarding with the most
rigid .secercy the preliminary move
ments OF ships. al
Now that the opposing naval forces
are SO near together, naval officials feel
the need more than ever OF preventing
advance publication Of thes. which
would jeopardize the entire plan OF
naval campaign. For this reason hhc
navy department Is practically closed
against all inquiry, go far ne future
movements are concerned. :.
W On the present war basls The informa-
ton given by the department 10 the rou-
tine assignment OF officers to ships, act
ual engagements with the foe and such
matters Of news US will not assist the
enemy, The routine announcement Of
vessel movements composition OF fleets,
etc. are entirely suspended. Not only
is the department guarding against al
lowing this information to go from the
department, but It is seeking to prevent
disclosures from the many coast towns
where the ships put in. II It succeeds
In heading Off this disclosure OF our
plans It will have the Spanish admiral
at q dangerous disadvantage. lis

PHILIPPINE EXPEDITION.
Supplies Ordered for $4,000 Men for

suppllss Ordered for $4,000 Men for Six
Months.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. May 1s.-For
the Philippine expedition the war de-
partment is laying in store of sup
plies which will, II necessary, keep the
army OF 1900 men for period OF six
months. For this purpose 2.16o,OOO ra-
tIons ore being accumulated by the
commissary department at San Fran
cisco for shipment from time to time to
Manila. A large consignment will be
taken out on the City OF Pekln. which
Is to sail the latter part OF the week.
Enough beef on the hoof will be taken
to supply the 1900 men who 60 aboard
her for ten or twelve days. and for the
remainder OF the trip bacon will be the
meat diet. Lieutenant Sidney A. Clo-
man has been appointed commlssary,
and will accompany the expedition.
The quartermaster's department has
supplies OF equippage. uniforms, etc., at
San Francisco for 5000 men, and addi-
tional ones will be purchased as neces-
sity arises. Canvas as well as woolen
uniforms, will be taken for the benefit
OF the men. 1t Is said the First Cali
,fornia and portions OF the Fourteenth
United States infantry may compose the
troops going on the Pekln. although this
Is not finally determined.

Kick mndo on Keeping War Ships on the
New England Coast.
WASHINGTON. May Ex-senator
Gray and other influential men have
made strong protests against the cruiser
Columbia and other fine warships being
kept on the New England coast when
the enemy's ships are in southern
waters. Senator Gray had business
with the President to-day and called his
attertion to the matter. -
: ut is stated that these ships are kept
on the New England coast to allay ap-
profession" eaid Senator Gray. well,
that is all foolishness. Here these ships
are kept on this coast when there Is not
particle OF danger. while the Spanish
squadron Is not far from southern
shores I do not believe anybody has an
idea that the Spanish fleet would at
tempt to sail 5000 or 1000 miles from its
present position to attack the New Eng
land coast and be without a base of sup
piles when 1t got there. While our ships
remain on the New England coast the
southern coast, much nearer TO the
Spaniards, is unprotected So is the
coast Of the middle Atlantic states. Our
ships should be with one or the other
squadrons."
1t ls said that New England senators
take the same ground as Senator Gray.

Naval Attaches to Newport News Navy
Ynrd. 80 I, >,
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 1s.-A re-
cent visit OF the German and Austrian
naval. attaches TO the navy yard at
Newport News. resulted in some misun-
derstanding which the navy department
regrets. The course adopted by the de-
partment In extending the facilities to
these foreign observers Is exactly the
same as that in vogue with the great
naval powers tho world over. 1t Is said

stays or for an inspection Of the disci-
plIne, equipment and mode Of action.
They are welcome on board at appro-
prlate times rs guests, but thege social
amenities do not include any official OBJ

yards, torpedo stations, docks, etc. The
foreign observers are welcome as guests
and the department places no restric-
tions upon their. looking over the gen.
ernl outward condition OF things. But
there Is a secret reservation In these
yards and at torpedo stations which the
officials do not intend to open to for

THE GUSSIE EXPEDITION.

Faiiura of the Steamer 10 Land Men md
Cargo Duo to Wide Publicity Given OF
Her Sailing. 4. Al IA
Z TAMPA, Fla, May 1G.--The steamer
Gussie, which called from Port Tampa
last Tuesday laden with arms. ammu-
milton and supplies for the use Of General
Gomez army and with the two crack
companies OF the first infantry, returned
to-day bringing most OF her cargo back.
The story OF the failure OF the expedl-
tion has already been told. It Is hardly
probable that another attempt will be
made to land the supplies the whole
expedition moves. The army officials
are strongly inclined to lay the blame
tof the failure OF the Gussie expedition
to the wide publicity given to the SAIL,
sing. The Spanish forces In Cuba were
undoubtedly kept fully posted on every
detail OF the movement and made pre-
paratlons to meet the Gussie when she
appeared of the coast. It Is intimated
a press censorship at Tampa may be
established should movement OF troops
take place from here in the near future.
Had such q course been pursued be-
| fore It Is claimed that the chances OF n
successful landing of the Gussie's sup
piles and placing them in the hands Of
the Insurgents would have been greater.
Governor Bloxham, of Florida, and his
staff arrived In Tampa to-day and the
work Of forming the Florida troops into
q regiment was begun Immediately. The
| five batsalions will be cut down to three
and the number Of troops to 1000. The
regiment will then be mustered In and
officers elected.
Major Webb C. Hayes, of the First
Ohio cavalry regiment volunteers, was
to-day attached to General Skaters
staff.
The necessity of affording protection
to the enormous amount Of coal, anmu-
milton and government supplies OF all
kinds at Port Tampa and the dangerous
proximity Of the Spanish fleet to Florida
| waters have resulted In the pushing to
completion Of the Qualifications at Egg
mont and Muliet Keys, commanding the
entrance to Tampa Bay. Several 5-inch
guns and 7-inch Howitzers to be placed
in these Notifications have already ar
rived and others are on the way There
Is also on hand plentiful supply of
ammunition and torpedo material. The
harbor entrance to Port Tampa has
been thoroughly mapped out and the
locations for torpedoes and submarine
| mines decided upon. Inside OF a few
days the harbor will be thoroughly pro-
| tected '5si5 s
