Secretary Long is of the opinion that

directing the retention in the service
of all converted vessels until peace
has been actually proclaimed.
Some time ago 1t was decided to put
the auxiliary navy out of commission.
and preparations We're made with that
end In view. Recently. however, Sec
rctary Longs views have undergone a
change. Vessels Of the auxiliary navy
have been doing blockade duty before
Havana. and San Juan, while others.
notably the Harvard. Yale. st. Paul
and st. Louis, have been performing
other valuable service.
II is the purpose of the government
to order north those ships which are
not required on blockade duty as soon
as the exigcncics of war will permit.

squadron is being held in readiness.
III Spain Is not sincere In her desire
to close the war mt once" he added,

the secretary seemed perfectly safe In
making the statement. He Is usually
pretty reticent about future move
ments of the naval forces.
