OREGON SAFE
 CAUSES JOY Navy Department DiScIaimS Re- sponSibiIity in the Delay
 of Invasion.

Washington, May 25-The news of the safe arrival of the Oregon in American waters was source of unadulterated satis- faction to all naval officers.
 Apprehension as to the safety of the Ore- gon practically disappeared when the vessel reached Barbadoes and announced her ar rival, but there was always chance that she might suffer from an accident or hos tile attack in the short distance remaining on her homeward journey.
 Within the past few weeks, or, in fact. ever since the determination was positively reached to invade Cuba before the dry sea- son next fall, there have been published intmatons that the delay, or what ap- peared to be the delay, in beginning the invasion was attributable to the navy. In other words, the army has long been pre- pared to start for Cuba but could not do so for lack of conveys and ships to insure landing.
 It can be stated on the highest authority that the impression thus created Is wholly unjust to the navy and without warrant in fact. The naval officers, one and all, take special pride in the degree of readiness in which the navy was found at the outbreak of hostilities, and there never has been a moment even when Admiral Sampson's forces were at Porto Rico, when the navy was not prepared on instant notice to aid the army In effectlng a landing in Cuba
 Nor, on the other hand. has the army been at fault In this matter. It was at first as is now well known proposed to throw a small force of men or soldiers, about 10000, into Cuba immediately and all low the remainder of fife army of occupa- tion to walt until next fall before going over There were various reasons for abandoning this plan, such as the discov- cry of the insufficient support that could be rendered the first arrivals by the insur- gents; fact that was brought out with appalling force that to delay the campaign meant absolute extermination of the starv- ing reconcentrados, and there were besides international reasons for making haste These considerations caused a complete change In the army plans and involved de- lay
 To equip an army of 100000 in thirty days and put them in condition to fight trained veteran soldiers on their own soil was no small undertaking, so that In the opinion of some of the highest officers of the admin istration there Is no reasonable reason for passing the criticism that there has been undue delay in beginning the military cam paign, either on the part of the army or navy.

CAMPAIGN ID
 BE AGGRESSIVE Call for More Troops Taken to Mean Invasion of the Three Spanish ISIandsat Once.
Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald.
 Washington, May 25.-There has been lit- tie activity in naval circles today, the en- largment of the volunteer army absorbing most of the attention of the administration officers. The call for 75,OOO additional vol unteer troops Is indicative of the determine to wage an aggressive campaign In Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, but his in- tlmate adherents say to hold the two latter places as American colonies at least as such until the expenses of the war are paid for from their ports of entry.
 There is much criticism here over this extra call for troops, on the ground that they are not needed, and that 1t is an evil dence of weakness on the part of this gov- ernment. The members of the administra- ton, however, say that just the contrary will be shown. The call will be an evidence to Spain that the United States not only intends to reduce Cuba, but to occupy Porto Rico and the Philippines as well. This will have the effect of bringing the Spanish gov erpment to sue for peace sooner than any, thing else.
 The present intention Is to increase the occupation army of the Philippines to 25,- 900 men, and to send fully eat number as an invading force to Porto Rico.
 Colonel Barker said tonight that he had been informed that in Birmingham there had already been raised one company of cavalry troops equipped and two more which were not equipped. These willlprob- ably form the neuclus around which the regiment will be built. The place of rem dezvous will most likely be Mobile or Bir- mingham. An invasion of Cuba will no doubt soon begin.

Believed to Have Been Attache of
 Spanish Legation at ........ Washington.
Special Cable to The Age-Eorald


 Key West, Fla. May 25-Lieutenant Solbral, former attache of the Spanish le- gation at Washington, was arrested here today. He gives the name of Senor Jim neg, but is confidently believed to be So- bral. He had maps of forts and mines In his possession, and valuable charts. He is being held for examination.
 By Associated Press
 Rev West Fla, May 25.-The invcsti- gation of the case of the suspected Span ish spy, Remirgo Zapaetro Jlminez, a passenger on the prize steamer Panam;l' was continued today by the federal ofh- cials and brought out some new facts. While the suspicion involving the whole affair has increased, positive evidence sui ficient to warrant conviction is still lack ing.
 search of Jiminez's effects revealed cipher letter which turned out to he the key to fifty-nine charts of tho Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida, particular minuteness being shown as to the vicinity of Norfolk, New York, Boston ndrProvi- dence harbors, and the inlets around Tam pa All the Florida keys and the Tortligas are also explained in detail f'
 vigorous search failed to locate the charts. Jiminez swears that he was an engineer in the Spanish navy in Cuban waters, but ran away in 1890, since which time he has lived in New York at No. n Fourth avenue. Passengers on thesIana- ma say they recognized Jiminez as a lieu tenant of the Spanish navy. The officials are inclined to the belief that others on the Panama are associated with Jiminez in whatever scheme he may be engineering, and for this reason the prisoner was taken off the steamer today and placed under guard on a little fishing smack as . war prisoner.
