Old Point Comfort, Va, April 13.-
The flying squadron under Commander
Schley sails at 2 O'Clock under sealed or
ders for the south.
Washington, April 13.-Much excite
ment was caused by the news that the
flying squadron had been ordered to
sail southwark under sealed orders at
2 o'clock. There is a great deal of
speculation as to where it is going.
There is a general belief that it has
been ordered to Porto Rico to intercept
the Spanish flotilla or that it is to as
sist in the ombardment of Havana.
Secretary Long, when showed the dis
patch regarding the flying squadron
positively refused to affirm or deny its
statement or comment on it in any
way, saying it was an inviolable rule
not to refer to the movements of the
warshipS.
Washington, April 13.-It is officially
announced that the flying squadron
sails this afternoon on a, 48 hours prac-
tice cruise.
An official confirmation was given la
ter at the navy department of the re-
port tnat Inc HylnS squadron Will san
today, but 1t was stated for a practice
cruise of 4S hours. 1t is the impression
at the department, however, that the
squadron will go outside of the capes
and there await any further orders
which may be sent to it by a dispatch
boat.
Newport News, Va, April 13.-The
flying squadron in command of Commo-
dore Schley left Old Point at 2:2O this
afternoon under sealed orders. The war
ships proceeded slowly toward the

TO THE CANARIES.
| That is Probably the Destination of
the Flying Squadron.

Washington, April 13.-It is now de-
termined that as soon as war is de-
clared, Captain Sampson will steam
for Havana and attack it by sea, and
that a land force will hasten to his aid
and invest the city the west, thus
cutting it off entirely from the rest of
the island, except by means of the in
ner harbOr Havana can be readily
and safely shelled from the sea, without
exposing the attacking vessels to a
Captain Sigsbee, who made a careful
study of the defenses of the city during
his stay there. 1t is also the opinion
of General Lee, who has made even
closer study of the defenses of the cap
ital. 1t is also expected that the rev.
OlutiOniStS of the province of Pinar
del Rio, who are by no means sup
pressed or exterminated will hasten to
the aid of the army of occupation,
while Gomez and Garcia will move
straight to Havana from the east.
The Spanish troops, who have fought
in vain against unarmed and starving
bands of reVOlutionistS, will hardly be
able to withstand such a concerted at
resisted them in the field and the well
disciplined, and well armed troops of
the United States. The fall of Havana
is thought to be a matter of a few days
only and with Havana will practically
fall the entire Spanish authority and
forces in the island.
The flying squadron, which has been
ordered to sail today, it is thought, is
destined for an attack on the Canaries.
It's purpose is to divert the Spanish
fleet destroy its base of supplies in the
Canaries, cut it's line of communication,
and seize a point of great advantage
for establishing a base of action for
our navy.
1t will then harry the coast of Spain
and engage any fleet it may meet in
Spanish waters.

against the kingdom of Spain.
LEES WORD GOES.
Says Cuban Government is Only
on Paper.

Washington, April 13.-Some of the
Democrats of the house committee We're
inclined to yield their desire for the
recognition of the independence of the
present government in Cuba as the
resolutions of the majority were for the
establishment of an independent gov
ernment, but they criticised the word
''esta blishment," as perhaps blocking
what might be desirable in the future,
by recognition of the present govern
ment. They were informed that their
colleagues on the senate committee who
desire the direct recognition of the pres
ent government had yielded after talk
ing to Gen. Lee and the Democrats ask
ed for a recess for the purpose of con-
sulting their colleagues.
The statement in Gen-Lee'S testimony
which has had an influence with the
more radical pro-Cuban members of the
senate committee on foreign relations,
was to the effect that the present Gu
ban government was a government on
paper only. He said, however, that no
reaI facts on the subject and that this
was merely an opinion.
Gen. Lee also said that it was not
true that the lights in Havana went
out on the night of the explosion
