ing upon the reduction in value OF farm
land in New York and New Jersey, calls
esp, cial attention to the fact that the
markets in New York city, which were
formerly supplied with vegetables from
those Two States, now receive their sup.
pli~s largely from the South, which,

IN lnsress to Cuba for Relief Of Recon.

lars to Go to Cuba and Volunteers to
Chickamauga.

NEW York, April 30-A special to
the World from Washington says: It
u stated on the highest authority that
as the newly formed preparations for
actual hostilities stand they contem.
plate these operations: ~
1. The opening of ingress to Cuba
for the relief ship which is to carry
supplies to the reconcentradoes and
the cooperation of the United States
naval forces with those of the insur.
gent This invasion, which is to be
conducted purely as relief expedi.
tion, may land at Matanzas.
The Sampson squadron is to
be urged to make way for and
to protect the relief expedition.
2. The preventing of the Spanish fleet
now at Manila, in the Philippines,
from joining forces with the Spanish
fleets at Cape Verde islands and in
Cuban waters. The instructions to
commander Dewey are not to she'll
Manila unless the Notifications assail
the American fleet. A rigid blockade,
similar to that established at Havana,
is to be enforced against Manila. An
engagement, If any occurs, will be pre-
cipitated by the Spanish fleet under
command of Adm. C'FightingD Mon.
tejo.
3. The Flying squadron is to be held
at Fort Monroe as reserve fleet, but
is to be drawn upon If necessary to
protect unfortified cities. The squad
ron may reinforce the Sampson squad
ron. This is the original plan mapped
out more than three weeks ago by AS.
sistant Secretary of the Navy Roose.
velt.
4. The guarding of the approaches to
cities on the north and middle Atlantic
coasts by regular war ships and auxil-
iary cruisers. The original plan con-
templated the performance of this
duty by vessels manned by naval re-
serves, but a change was compelled by
advices of the sailing of a Spanish
fleet from Cadiz with instructions to
lombard unprotected cities of the
northern Atlantic coast. Hence the
dispatching Friday of the auxiliary
cruisers New Orleans and San Fran.
cisco to guard approaches to the Mas.
sachusetts and New York coasts.
s. Hurried preparations for the
transportation of the land forces now
at Chickamauga to either Tampa OF
New Orleans for embarkation to Cuba.
These orders are new, and it is expect
ed that Gen. Miles will leave Washing
ton on Sunday to assume actual com
mand of the land forces.
6. The maintenance of the state mi
litia forces which have reported
''ready" in an advanced organized con
dition, with the view of calling then
to follow the regular army forces nov
mobilized at Chickamauga.

LONDON, April SO.--The Evening
News Friday afternoon publishes a
dispatch from St. Vincent, Cape Verde
islands, saying the Spanish cruiser
Maria Teresa, Almirante Oquendo,
Vizcaya and Christobal Colon, accom-.
panied by the Spanish torpedo boat de.
stroyers Pluton, Terror and Furor,
had, at the hour the dispatch was filed
70 o'clock Friday morning) just sailed
in a westerly direction, presumably
going toward Cuba.
The dispatch adds that the Spanish
torpedo boats Azor, Rayo and Ariete
and the Spanish transports San Fran
cisco and Ciudad de Cadiz sailed at the
same time in northerly direction,
probably going to the Canary islands.
The Evening News, commenting on
its dispatch from St Vincent, says:
"The import of the cablegram ID
that the whole effective fighting force
of the squadron has been dispatched
west, while the non-effectives and the
mbatants are proceeding to an.
other anchorage.
swell informed naval authorities are
aware that the torpedo boats could not
traverse the Atlantic at the present
time as they have not sufficient coal
capacity for voyage to Cuba and the
risk of coaling in mid-ocean is toe
great.
"This long-delayed move is most
significant. Its significance lies in the
fact, which can hardly be over empha
sized, that it is practically Spain's frs
move since the outbreak of hostilities.
