FESTED AS TO THE RESULT.
The School Board election, which has
been the absorbing topic of CONVERSE
tion for several days past, is being
held to-day. The polls at the mayors
office opened at p. m. and will close
at Z O'Clock. With at least four tickets
in the field, and half dozen scatter

two leading tickets being voted for are
John Mahoney, William ]. Ferris and j.
ERNEST Phillips, one one, and William

STARTLING SUGGESTION.
Fleet at Cape de Verde Nay Attack
Asiatic Squadron.

Washington. April 26.-The naval of
ficials have noticed with some dis
quietude the fact that the Spanish
fleet at Cape de Verde. before leaving
under orders from the Portuguese gov
eminent, made heavy purchases of
supplies there. They were of a
varied description. such as medicine
and miscellaneous goods, for which in
ordinary times the fleet could as easily
have waited until it reached a Spanish
port. Therefore il is suspected that
the purchases show a purpose on the
part of the Spanish admiral to start
on a long cruise. A rather startling
suggestion made in this connection is
that the Spanish fleet may make di-
rectly for the Philippines, by way of
the Cape of Good Hope, to attack
Commodore Dewey's Asiatic squadron,
which it would far exceed in strength.
The SueZ canal being closed, under
neutrality laws, to warshiDs of bellig-
ereI:ts, there would be nothing TO do
in this case but send some of Admiral
Simpsons ships on a long, stern chase
after the Spanish fleet, or to instruct
Admiral Dewey to repair TO home wat
ers.
It was stated in high diplomatic quar-
ltIS ludJ 40 OOuDl GSlSl-
ed as to the attitude Of Portugal in
neutrality. This is regard
ed S especially important at this time,
owing to the. fact that the Cape de
Verde Islands, the Azores and the Ma
deiras belong to Portugal. All of these
groups have fine harbors and coating
facilities, and are so located as to be
of vital service to the Spanish navy, in
case their use were not barred by Por-
tugaPs neutrality.
The neutrality of Portugal will pre-
vent a. longer use of these islands as a
base of operations for the Spanish
ships, or even as a stopping place
for them. They will be forced to go
to one of their own ports, the Canaries,
probably. being the most advantageous
point, now that Cape de Verde and
other Portuguese islands are closed
against them.

Kingston, Jamaica, April 26.-(Copy-
righted, 1898. by the. Associated Press.)
First Lieutenant Andrew S. Rowan
of the Nineteenth infantry, under or
derss from the war department. was
landed on the Cuban coast, somewhere
west of Santiago, probably before dawn
on Monday His Cuban guides and an
open sail beat were used. The guides
have not returned.
Lieutenant Rowan is on his way to
the camp of General CaliXto Garcia.
He will represent the war department
in arranging for the cooperating of the
insurgents in the invasion of eastern
Cuba by the forces of the United States.
The time and place of invasion will be
controlled by events and the character
of Lieutenant Rowan's dispatches.
Lieutenant Rowan was detailed from
the bureau of information for this dan
gerous service-dangeroUs because in
his civilian dress, he is liable to be
treated as a spy. He speaks Spanish
and knows Cuba, having written a book
on the subject. Moreover, he is an ex-
pert map maker.
Lieutenant Rowan left Washington
under instant orders. He was directed
to wait here, prepared to go to Porto
Rico or TO Cuba. AS he went to east

Porto Rico
With him he took an official Spanish
section map of eastern Cuba, with in
dentations made by the war depart
ment by photographers. The expecta-
ton is that General Calixto Garcia will
dispose his forces to cover a landing
of United States troops as prearranged.
A courier with Lieutenant Rowan's
first dispatches will probably leave
General Garcia's camp next week.

Boise. Ida. April 26.-Idaho's quota
under the presidents call for vOlun-
teers was yesterday changed from two
troops of cavalry to two battahons of
infantry. The news was received dur
ing the morning and it gave great sat
isfaction, as all had felt that the state
had not been treated fairly in the ap-
portionment.
as soon as the announcement of the
change reached the governor, Adjutant
General Higgins began the work of ar
ranging to meet the requirements of
the call, and by night the machinery
was in full running order. The men
enlisted in the guard will be first drawn
from and then volunteers will be
called for to fill up the quota.
Last Monday night Governor Steu-
nenberg wired Senator Shoup respect
ing the allotment. feeling that Idaho's
identity should not be lost. Shoup to-
day replied as follows:
Have just succeeded in having
Idaho's quota changed from two troops
of cavalry to two battalions of infantry.
There is such strife between the states
to furnish troops that this may be re-

INCIDENTS OF BLOCKADE.
Spanish Lieutenant Captured and Re
leased-Cavalry Patrol.

On Board the Flagship New York, Off
Havana, April 25.-Midnight.-(Cop
ed. 1898. by the Associated ress.)-About
20g Spanish cavalry were seen on the
beach about Is miles from FL MORO this
afternoon. The flagship was lying at no
great distance from the shore and thes-
were within easy range, but no shots
were fired. 1t is believed the Spanish
cavalry is establishing a patrol TO pre-
vent a repetition of such incidents as the
Porter landing last night. The FL MORO
batteries were believed to be firing at
something about pm. but it was i'm
possible to ascertain definitely whether
this was so or not. The Wilmington cap
tured the tiny schooner Sol of Sagua,
with a cargo of sugar. but let her go
after being careful to see that she went
in direction opposite to Havana.
Lieutenant Juan del Pine of the Span
ish infantry and his orderly were brought
on board the flagship this morning from
the gunboat Wilmington, to whom they
had been turned over by the cruiser Gin
cinnati. The cruiser captured the Span
iards while they were in a small schooner
bound for MatanZas. Lieutenant Pine
was on a furlough and going TO see his
wife and infant child The child was
born last Friday and he had never seen
1t. In these circumstances, Rear Admiral
Sampson and Captain Chadwick decided
to let the officer and mis- orderly go I'M
der parole. They were sent ashore in
one of the newspaper dispatch boats
