IS TIME FOR ACTION.

Intense Activity in Army and Navy
Preparatory to InvRsion-Wash-
inGton Has No News
from Schley.

Washington, June 1.-The signifl-
cant statement was made by cab
met officer after the regular Tuesday
meeting of the cabinet that no
news had been received since Monday
morning from Commodore Schley di-
rectly, and that now ii was believed that
nothing would be heard for two or three
days at least. This is taken to mean
that Schley probably will await the ar
val of troops before undertaking any
active move on Santiago.
1t was plainly anticipated in some
quarters that he might, through the
possession of some information that
would tend to neutralize the strength
of the enemy's position, make bold at
tempt to enter the harbor of Santiago
and destroy or capture the Spanish
squadron. With the assistance Of a
single regiment of regular United
States troops, which it is believed is
even now on the way to his support,
the officials are confident that the fleet
can reduce the forts at the entrance to
Santiago harbor, and make untenable
the position of the Spanish squadron
within. Of course this plan is based
upon the theory that Cervera will not
attempt to make his escape by des-
perate sortie at night.
This movement of Schley's is unques-
tionably in pursuance of the presidents
policy to send helping hand to the

London, June 1.-The news Of the
fighting at Santiago de Cuba has re-
vived the dwindIing interest in the war.
1t is suggested that the Americans may
be bombarding the forts in order to
cover the laying of mines or the sinking
of hulks to block the channel Credence
is given u report that Admiral Cervera
tried to run the blockade before the ar
rival of Gen. Skaters expedition. 1t is
not believed that Commodore Schley
would venture to initiate Dewey's feat
at Manila. Everything, SO far as Spain
in concerned, is now held to depend on
Admiral Camara's movements, and I'M
less, as is unlikely, he is able to display
mastery skill, 1t is evident that the bold
strategy of the Spaniards will only re-
suit in the destruction of their feet In
detail. A second reserve squadron
could not be prepared for months, as
the vessels recently mentioned by the
Madrid press are all in a backward state
at Ferrol, Cadiz and Cartagena, except
the Numancia, the Vittoria and the
Dona Maria de Molina, which could be
ready in few weeks.

starving reconcentrados, The Spanish
squadron might be kept within Santi-
ago harbor until the end Of the war
without sensibly endangering an
American life, and because of its dis
lance and isolation from Havana San
tiago city has little to attract military
attack. But, lying in the very midst of
the insurgent section of the island, the
town would afford splendid base for
the distribution of supplies to the fam
lilies Of the insurgents and to the re-
concentrates who still drag out mis-
cradle existence In the interior, AL
ready the president has begun to pre-
pare to help these people, and the com
missary general of the army has pre-
pared an estimate of $5,000,000 for the
purchase of sufficient supplies to feed
10000 reconcentrados for six months.
Time for Action.
For the time being it is felt that the
real field OF action IS removed from
Washington and is centered with the
troops, now advancing under orders
from here, and with OUR ships. The
time. of preparation has gone by, and
1t remains only for preparations to be
carried into actual effect, A leading
naval official pointed to his desk, which
was clear of papers and documents, and
remarked that all the preparatory de.
tails were now we'll along, and that so
far as the authorities here were con-
cerned they had only to wait for the
execution of the preparations hereto
fore matured. There will continue to
| be much routine detail in the mainten.
ance of the large military and naval
| force, but this is now in well estab.
| lished channels. The more vital feature
| of the campaign itself has been fully
matured. Toa certain extent the mill.
tary and naval operations will be di
| rected from Washington, and yet with
Gen. Miles in the south and Admira
Sampson and Commodore sehley in Gu
ban waters, they will have most to de
with the time and circumstances of at
| tack. The commanders, military ant
| naval, have been given wide latitude, al
the authorities here fully appreciate
that battles cannot be fought in ad
vance on paper.
The Forward Movement.
| Washington, June l.. = The command
| to advance, given Monday, has infused
| activity into every branch of military
and naval circles. 1t was shown Tues
day in. the hurried but systematic prep
arations at the various bureaus at Thu
war and navy departments, and in TIL
keen air Of expectancy everywhere pre-
yailing. The authoritative statemen
made Monday by Gen. Miles and other
that the order for an advance had beer
issued, left no further doubt on tina
point. The report from Key West tina
tho steamer ClonidR returned Their

Cuba, was supplemented by the infor-
nation here that the expedition was
IN command of Gen. Lacret, the we'll
known Cuban leader, who has with him
400 picked Cubans, thoroughly armed
and equipped by the United States.
No Fear Of the Cndiz Fleet.
The frequent reports from Spain
through other countries to the effect
that formidable fleet is being pre-
pared at Cadiz to sail for West Indian
waters in aid of Cervera causes little ap-
prehension here. Naval officers, through
private means OF communica ton, have
pretty we'll satisfied themselves that
the Cadiz fleet is a paper fleet. In other
words its offensive power is altogether
illusory. More than half of the vessels
whose names appear so frequently In
the press dispatches as formidable war
craft are Of antiquated type and in sad
state of disorder. OF course it is not to
be understood from this that our naval
officers are neglecting to take precsu-
tions against surprise at Santiago.
They have thrown scouts we'll out to the
eastward of Cuba so that they may re-
ceivc quick notice if any of the Cadiz
fleet was foolish enough to have started
day or two ago for the West Indies, as
is now reported from Europe.
The report that the pope has adj
dressed himself to President Mckinley
directly In an effort to bring about
peace between the United States and
Spain proves upon investigation to be
groundlcss. 1t is not believed that the
pontiH would be led into the rather un.
usual course of addressing himself di.
rectly to our chief executive.

1t may truly be said that the Modern

Mention has been made in last
weeks Protivin news of the existing
church troubles in Spillville. Infor-
nation based on solid truth has been
received that these troubles are as
Stunning a more serious form. The
attendance at their church is not
worth speaking of on account of
being scanty. Here in the Protivin
church we find every thing just the
reverse; peace and quietude and the
church filled to overlooking.

General Stanton, of the army, author
ICES specific denial of the reported
negotiations for the acquisition of a
large number Of Mexican dollars for the
payment of the troops to be sent to the

contemplated probably arose from the
fact that such suggestion had been
made to the war department. The pay
master general asserts that there is no
desire on the part of the government
to pay its soldiers in deprecated coin,
but that they will be paid in gold and
silver OF the United States.
