CHASING A STEAMSHIP.
The Bancroft After a Supposed
Spanish Auxiliary Cruiser.

KEY WEST, May PA SpaSish
steamship, thought to be an auxiliary
cruiser, was sighted by the United
States warships Wilmington and Ban
croft, fifteen miles off Key West last
night. and at last accounts she was be-
ing chased by the Bancroft.
The ship chased by the Bancroft was
a three-masted steamer, and apparent
ly a merchantmen of large tonnage. She
had one smokestack No doubt was
entertained of her being a Spaniard,
because when the Bancroft put after
her she steamed away at full speed
The Wilmington was coming in here
for coal when. at about $50 last even
ing. between twelve and fifteen miles
off Key West. she saw the smoke nf a
steamer. and turned in this direction.
About the same time the Bancroft came
along and asked the Wilmington if she
had seen anything of a threemasted
steamer which had chased the auxiliary
gunboat Eagle The Wilmington then
notified. the Bancroft of the three mast
ed steamer, and while doing so stran-
ger hove in sight The Bancroft went
after her, and the vessel headed south
east. with the Bancroft going full speed
after her. The chase was a most ex-
citing one when the Wilmington last
saw the two vessels.
1t is presumed that the Spanish ship,
observing the Wilmington's military
top. mistook her for a battleship, and
thought it safe to continue scouting,
trusting to her superior speed for es-
cape, but when the Bancroft appeared
the Spaniard wasted no time in trying
to get away.
Captain Todd of the Wilmington has
no doubt the Bancroft will catch the
Spaniard.
A Custom House official hera, when he
heard the story, said he had seen a
strange ship off Key West last night,
adding that she was gone this morning.
Captain Todd IS confident the vessel
being chased by the Bancroft is a
Spanish auxiliary cruiser on scout duty.
The Wilmington came in from the
blockade, and reports all quiet there.

close of the Cabinet meeting to-day
it was authoritatively stated that al
though the Government had no official
information on the subject, there was
~ reasonable doubt that Admiral Ger
Vera's fleet was in Santiago harbor,
and that Commodore Schley was on
guard at the entrance Although the
information upon which this belief is
based is regarded as entirely trust
worthy the Government will make no
important move or change its plans in
the absence of direct confirmation from
official sources. 1t was also stated that
any contemplated movement against
Cuba or Porto Rico would be held in
allegiance until the Spanish fleet either
was destroyed or otherwise rendered
helpless to seriously interfere with our
plans in any direction The Cabinet
discussed the situation at length, but
nothing of great consequence was de-
cided upon.
The work of equipping and mobiliz-
ing the volunteer army will be pushed
with all possible vigor with a view to
being in perfect readiness for any call
that might be made when the Spanish
fleet shall no longer be a serious factor
in the war problem. All of the mem
bers of the Cabinet were present ex-
cept Attorney General Griggs, who is
at his home in New Jersey.

iment in the service, instead of leav-
ing most of them with a depleted or
ganization. On the other hand, it
would destroy the integrity of this
force of 1900 volunteers as a second
reserve
The War Department is anxious to
obtain the views of the Governors of
the States and Territories in regard to
the filling Of their maximum strength
the regiments already furnished by
them under the first call of the Presi-
dent, and with this object in view
Adjutant- General Corbin to-day sent
kilograms asking the several Govern
ors to make recommendations to the
department on this subject.
A number Of minor points coming up
constantly in relation to the second call
for volunteers are being passed upon
in general way at this time. For in
stance, the question arose to-day as to
whether coIored officers as well as col
ored troops would be taken as a part
of the organizations offered. General
Alger at once decided that if a colored
company had efficient, soldierly colored
officers they were as much entitled to
recognition and acceptance in the mill
itary service as We're the troops them
selves. He made this decision known
to the Governor of Indiana, who asked
for information, and he stated the same
thing to Representative Hull of Iowa,
who has an organization of colored
men with colored officers in his district
In this connection, it developed that
colored men are being considered for
some of the staff appointments, and
the Surgeon General of the army has
accepted a colored man as a surgeon,
with the rank of Captain. The COL
ored surgeon will be assigned to
colored regiment, and colored troops
and colored officers will be kept to-.
gether as far as possible.

TRAPPING OF CERVERA.
Believed That Sch1ey Has Accom-
pIished the Act.

OFF THE NORTHERN COAST OF
CUBA, May y (via Key West )-(Copy-
righted 1898, by the Associated Press.
At 10 o'clock last night the Dolphin
ran alongside the flagship New York
Her light showed that she bore dis
patches for Rear Admiral Sampson.
The commander of the Dolphin shouted
through the megaphone: II have dis
patches from Commodore Schley to the
Commander-in-Ch Chief" A cheer went
up from the decks. Commodore Schley's
dispatches We're dated off Cienfuegos.
Absolutely nothing definite can be
said'' was the reply which Captain
Chadwick of the New York made to
la question as to what transpired.
Since he heard of Admiral Cervera's
arrival at Curacao, Rear-Admiral
Sampson has repeatedly said he be-
lieved the Spaniards would go to
lCienfuegos or Santiago. To prove the
Admiral was almost sure the Spanish
fleet would be caught, the following can
be given without a breach of conf
dence: When the ships of Commodore
Schley's fleet We're sailing out of Key
West under RearAdmiral Simpsons
orders the Admiral set this signal to
Captain Phillips of the Texas: ''You
are going to nab the Spanish, and
good luck to YOU"
Since then RearAdmiral Sampson
has been cruising around as a purely
precautionary measure. He thorough
Iy believed Commodore Schley would
bottle up the Spaniards either in Glen
fuegos or at Santiago, but he took all
measures to guard against a possible
! Col
enemy. and any attempt to make Ha-
vana through the eastern or western
passage, though there is little doubt
that the Commodore. had he met the
Spanish fleet, could have defeated
them.
There is good reason to believe from
strategic point of view that more
can be gained by the Spaniards being
bottled up in Santiago than in an en-
gagement, which, though it would re-
suit in victory for the Americans, might
have resulted in some damage to our
ships.
In the harbor of Santiago the Span
ish fleet will be helpless. The channel
leading into the harbor is narrow. and
the enemy can either be kept prisoner
there, by sinking a few hulks in the
channel, or he can be destroyed by
superior force.
If Commodore Schley has success
fully accomplished his object, there
now seems nothing to prevent active
operations on the part of the army.
That is the idea of the best naval au-
thorities The climate in Cuba is not
what it was a month ago, but it is
much better than it will be a month
hence and before another Spanish
fleet can reach these waters the naval
authorities hope to have troops in pos
session of the base of operations in
Cuba. The navy viii be able to cover
the landing of the troops and enable
the military forces to get ashore with
out hindrance.

IMMUNE REGIMENTS.
General Rules for Examination of
Applicants for Commissions.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The War
Department has issued a series of gem
eral rules for the examination of appIi-
cants for commissions in the United
States volunteer infantry Gmmune)
regiments. Applicants will be examined
with reference to their mental moral
and physical fitness to hold a commits
sion and perform the duties of a COM
missioned officer in an infantry regi-
ment. II determining fitness the Board
of Examiners will give due weight to
the following:
The nature and the length of the APP
plicant's military education.
The time, if any, the applicant has
lived in tropical climates. and the gen
eral nature of his experience in such
climates.
The facility with which applicant can
speak foreign languages, if at all. par
ticularly Spanish.
The Examining Board will also give
due weight. to the following:
The ability of the applicant to take
proper care of himself and of men com
mitted to his care under all conditions.
so far as the same can be Judged by
the experience and record of the appli-
cant.
The ability of the applicant to COM
mand men so far as can be judged by
his experience and record
The examinations are not to be COM
petitive, but the Board of Examiners
viii pass upon the qualifications of each
applicant, and recommend to the Ad-
jutant General of the army the rank
which may properly be conferred upon
such applicants.

TWO MORE TRANSPORTS.
The Pacific Mail Steamships Colon
and China Chartered.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-Two more
steamships, the China and the Colon
of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany, We're chartered to-day by AS
sistant Secretary MeikIejohn of the
War Department to carry troops to the
Philippine Islands. The vessels, it is
understood. carry fully 9. 800 men. and
II they can be made ready in time will
form part of the second expedition to
the islands.
Mr.. Meiklejohn succeeded in com
municating with c. P. Huntington, the
President of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, by telegraph in Iowa last
night, While the latter was on his way
East and as a result of propositions
the China and Colon were secured. The
latter vessel is at San Francisco
where she is loading a commercial
cargo for the Orient, and was expected
to sail tomorrow. The China arrived
at San Francisco to-day AS soon as
practicable these ships will be turned
over to the Quartermaster's Depart
ment for such changes as may be nee
eSsary.
Five vessels are now available for the
second expedition to the Philippines, the
Centennial, Zealandia, Ohio, Colon and
China. The combined capacity is ap-
proXimately 5000 men, and it is the
opinion of the officials here that they
may be ready to sail for Manila some
time next week.
The acquisition of the China and the
Colon is a source of satisfaction to Mr.
Meiklejohn, who says that the depart
ment is now in much better shape as
regards transportation. He explains
that there is no desire on the part of
the Government to impress vessels into
the service, unless such action is absO-
lutely essential for it's purposes. The
Government wants to be absolutely fair
in its terms of charter but at the same
time believes that it is paying for the
vessels all that they are worth
1t may be interesting to vessel own
ers to knaw that the decision has been
reached by Mr.. Meiklejohn in making
contracts in the future to concede to
them certain features relating to crew
and fuel which were embodied in the
charter of the Pekin by the Navy De-
partment
No further steps have been taken by
the War Department to obtain the six
ships of the Northern Pacific Company.
for which the agents are holding out
for larger amount of money
than the Government is disposed to
pay Mr.. Meiklejohn declines to give
any more than last proposed, believing
the benefits which would accrue to the
ships from an American register would
more than compensate them for the
lower prices at which vessels are asked
to be turned over

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The fol-

Department to-day:
The following is a copy of a report
made by Rear Admiral Sampson, con-
cerning the action at San Juan de
Porto Rico:
Upon approaching San Juan it was
seen that none of the Spanish vessels
were in the harbor. 1t was, therefore,
considera bly, in doubt whether they had
reached San Juan and again departed
for some unknown destination. or
whether they had not arrived As their
