A conflict between Admiral Sampson
squadron and the Spanish feet is hourly ex-
pected by naval officials here, The latter
have positive information that the Spanish
fleet is not at Cadiz or the Canaries. The
Spanards have scouts out in advance OF their
fleet. Word has been received that one Of
their cruisers put in at St. Thomas.
There is no doubt that Admiral Sampson is
now in the immediate vicinity of Porto
Rico, and while our fleet is probably to the
westward of these islands, the Spanish feet
may be cruising leisurely on the southern
coast.
Secretary Long has issued an order forbid
ding the officials of the naval department
from giving any information whatever about
the movements of the American ships, es-
pecially those of Admiral SIMPSONS squad
ron
The ambulance ship has sailed from Hanp-
ton Roads to join SIMPSONS fleet in the West
Indies, and to remain there until the war is
over. The vessel flies the Red Cross flag and
is not subject to attack or seizure.

to sail from San Francisco for Manila on the
City of Peking, has instructions for making
a thorough examination of every American

report exhaustively on all features of injury
and disaster suffered, for future use of the
experts in Washington. Also to report the
effect of the rapid-fre guns on the enemy at
certain ranges as we'll as can be estimated.
1t is intended that the naval experts shall

New Headquarters.

The first alarm of fire to be sent out
from the new central office, at head
quarters. was given by Supt. w. H.
Mcclure, at S.O4 o'clock yesterday at
ternoon.
The system works to perfection, and
it is safe to say that not one in fifty
were aware that anything out of the
usual order was in operation, in spite
of the fact that the outside bells in the
centre Of the city struck but two
rounds.
The work of cutting over is not COM
plete as yet, and some Of the outside
bells strike four rounds, the same as
usual but this win soon be changed.
The recall will not strike on the out
side bells in future but will be sent out
from the central station, on the Taper
lines.
The alarm was from box So, and was
occasioned by a small blaze in the mid
die tenement of the three-story house
Al Providence street. The fire evidently
started in a wood Box, back of the
kitchen stove, working from there into
the partition. 1t is thought a partially
extinguished match may have been
thrown into the box and set fire to it's
contents.
The loss will be in the neighborhood
of $780, The building is owned by N. H.

of 5000
For some time past Inspectors O'Day
and Stone have been at work on case
involving the larceny of $685. in Ameri-
can money, and two 2O-franc pieces.
On Nov. 10 the above sum was stolen
from the boarding house % Arch street,
conducted by Madraos Kazanjian.
The inspectors have been working on
the case since that time, and finally
believed themselves in possession of
sufficient evidence to warrant the ar
rest of three persons suspected of be-
ing concerned in the theft.
Wednesday Badros Bechaggian was
arrested on suspicion, and on being ar
raigned in the central district court,
had his case continued until more evil
dence could be CLEANED. Yesterday
morning Annie Bechaggian, wife of the
suspect, was brought into court and
had her case continued. There was
another in the party, however, and
yesterday afternoon Inspector Stone
went to Hudson, where another Arme-
MAN. Moses Kazanjian, had been placed
under arrest at his order, and brought
his man to Worcester.
Inspector O'Day was in Providence
most of the day yesterday, securing eV-
idence in the case, but says there is
little to be said about 1t until the
trial.
