Washington, June 24.-That the Spanish
Cadiz feet is proceeding steadily east
ward is no longer doubted here. Trusted
agents on the shores of the Mediterranean
are watching every movement of the ships
and availing themselves Of every relia-
HE source of information. So when word
came from these agents today that the
SQUADRON was sighted off Pantellera day
before yesterday, the officials were bound
TO accept the statement as beyond ques-
ton The first reports to that effect
which came through an Italian newspaper
was taken with some reservation owing
70 the known efforts Of the Spanish gov
eminent to mislead our naval authorities
by just such publications in friendly neu-
trail newspapers. BY the reckoning Of
the naval officers the squadron should
now be nearing Gambia, south Of Greece.
At the rate they are progressing the
squadron should reach Port Said, at the
entrance Of the Suez canal, about Mon
day or Tuesday. Beyond this point 1t is
noe believed that the squadron viii go,
for It IS confidently felt that the whole
Spanish movement is nothing more than
spectacular display got up 10 meet the
Irresistible demand of the Spanish popu-
lace and particularly the clerical party
that something should be done to save
the Philippines to Spain. There is a ques-
ton whether the canal authorities will
allow the heavy Spanish armored ships
10 risk the passage of the canal even if
Admiral Camara is willing to undertake
It. Their draft Of water is so great that
they might easily ground in the canal
and thus obstruct it to navigation in
definitely.
But even if all these expectations are
not well founded, the naval officers are
confident Of Dewey's ability to success
fully resist an attack by the Spanish
squadron. According to their calcula-
tons the splendid double turreted mon
itor Monterey is very near Manila under
convoy Of the Brutus and her arrival may
be expected within two or three days.
There is not an ironclad in Camara's
feet that would care to stand before her
Then It must be remembered that long
before the Cadiz squadron could possibly
reach Manila bay. General Merritt's
troops will be in conjunction with the in
surgents. in possession Of all the forts
surrounding the harbor, and the Spanish
guns being manned by American artil-
lerymen. will be expected to give a better
account Of themselves than they did when
trained against Dewey

PORTUGAL NEUTRAL TOO

Washington, June A.-Marquls Santo
Thyrso, the Portuguese minister. good
naturedly dismisses the report published
that certain press dispatches sent from
Lisbon to Paris. relating to the war. were
being put into the hands of the Spanish
authorities at Madrid. Such action. the
minister said, is quite absurd in view Of
the conditions existing. The press dis
patches appear in the Paris newspapers,
so that they would be readily sent to the
Madrid authorities without any surrept-
TOPS delivery. Moreover, the telegraph
from Lisbon to Paris passes through Ma
drid, so that the Spanish concerns have
access TO these dispatches without the ne
cessity of resorting to outside sources.
Marquis Santo Thyrso attaches no inn
portance to the report, yet he feels that
Portugal is pursuing such a consistent
course of neutrality that this perversion
Of the facts should be made.

VIII ASK DEWEY,S PERMISSION

Washington, June A.-It is said at the
navy department that Admiral Dewey is
the supreme authority at Manila. If
troops, marines or sailors are landed at
that place from any neutral men-of-war
1t will be with his permission. Il is not
questioned here that a nation may prop
erly seek such permission when II is
deemed ESSENTIAL TO protect lis citizens,
It's consulate and its interests but ii is
usual in such cases for the neutral com
mander TO seek permission Of the invest
ing admiral. If il is possible 10 prefer the
request. No such landing by any posi-
bility could be properly construed in the
requirement Of a right to remain in pos
session Of any territory in the philippines
and our government does not for mo-
ment contemplate that any Of the Euro
pean powers would attempt to set up any
such claim which would be resisted TO the
full extent Of Pr military and naval
power.

Mountain.
Hanging over the fence in the rear of
the row of tents during nearly all Of yes
terday afternoon were groups Of the AS
tor fighters chatting with pretty girls.
OF course these men were not on duty;
drill was over for the day and most Of
the men were waiting for leave that they
might go down town cash their checks
and dine.
Over on the side where the tents Of the
officers are pitched and where the silken
guidon fiutters in the breeze, the scene
presented was not unlike that of an after
noon luncheon on Pacific avenue. There
were always three or four of the private
equipages of the millionaires of this west
ern metropolis ranged along the side
walk
Coachmen sat erect and motionless. Liv-
cried footmen and tigers stood with hands
crossed. as If at parade rest" The
peaceful wealth Of San Francisco was pay
ing homage to the warlike wealth of
Gotham.
Small boys, who had focked in over the
fence and who had crept up toward the
silver-mounted guns, were chased out Of
the lot by the agile artillerymen. An old
negress, trudging her way through the
heavy sand, was sighted and when she
was within a hundred yards Of the tents,
skirmish line was thrown out to inter
cept her and head her off.
Lieutenant March, whose refusal to all
low his men to accept the courtesies Of
fered by the ladies Of the Red Cross So
ciety has stirred San Francisco more
than would bombardment by a feet of
Spain, was at his tent the most of the day.
And to see him it was first necessary to
send in your card, and then if he were
pleased to see you a corporal and private
escorted you into his presence.
Later in the afternoon the number of
private carriages increased. and the en-
listed men of the Astor battery who were
fortunate enough to obtain leave were
driven out through Golden Gate Park and
along the ocean drive to the Cliff House.

The Old Man Was Cured,

Talk about curing people Of bad
habits, one Of the funniest cases ever
knew occurred Oh the south side some
years ago." said Detective Thomas Nc
Quaide. "There was an old fellow over
there who would insist Oh fussing with
his wife, who would invariably give
him the worst of it. Then he would run
up stairs ard hang ont of the second
story window, holding to the ledge,
shouting like wildfire that he was going
to drop and kill himself. OF course the
wife would relent and set up q noise
that would bring out the neighbors for
blocks, and the man would be pulled
III the window by friends.
"This got to be coming too frequently,
and some of the boys who lived near,
and who had loosened several juints in
their spines at different times pulling
him in, decided to stop it, One fine day
it came again. The old fellow hung out
OF the window, shouting that he would
surely jump and end it all; the wife
came rushing into the street in Mysteries,
and the neighbors ran as before to pull
him up. The first man who got there
hit the man s fingers with stick, max
ing him loosen his hold, and, to tho
horror of all, he dropped to the hard
pavement with howl that was pitiful.
he was not badly hurt, but it cured
him of that bad habit. "-Pittsburp Dis
