by cheering crowds headed by bands.
Each of the three sections stopped only

the vicinity of the head of Seventh street
and the Newark avenue bridge, to change
engines which conveyed them over the
Central Railroad tracks The soldiers
did not leave the cars. The last section

THE GAME OF TAG.
Blockading Squadrons on
Guard for the Coming
Of the Spanish
Fleet.
Ready for the Spaniards.

eiated Press.)
ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DESPATCH BOAT KATE SPENCER
OFF HAVANA, May IS, 1898 (via Key
West. Fla, May 17).-=The ships OF the
vigilant watch for the appearance OF the
Spanish fleet and will not be taken by
surprise should the Spanish men-of-war
round Cape Antonio, the westernmost point
of Cuba. and swoop down upon Havana
All our ships have been warned by Com
modore Watson of the possibility OF sucn
a move and sailors are kept constantly
in the tops, whore they can sweep the
horizon for thirty miles, looking out TOR
the first sign of hostile ship.
All the naval officers on the blockade
station are anxious for a meeting with
the Spaniards, and when Informed that
the latest reports placed them off the
coast of Venezuela they jubilantly de-
clared that the enemy could be hemmed
in between the Windward Islands and the
Yucatan Channel, to be destroyed. The
only fear expressed was for the safety of
our ships blocking Cienfuegos. But they
do not doubt that precautions have been
taken to safeguard the ships now on the
southern coast of Cuba. The torpedo
boats and fast yachts of the auxiliary
fleet keep the biockading ships in con-
slant communication with Key West,
whence the movements of vessels are
being directed.
The general opinion is that there will
be no movement of the army in the direc-
ton of Cuba SO long as the Spanish fleet
remains in American waters, or until it
is met and beaten.
The blockade of Havana has been main
tanned without incident since the Conde de
Venadito and Legazpi attempted to draw
our ships under the big guns of the Santa
Clara batteryAon Saturday evening.
The French frigate Dubourdieu, which
entered Havana harbor "a week ago after
an unpleasant incident which necessitated
the firing of two shots across the French
mans bows before he would show his
flag, passed out this afternoon at about
four o'clock and headed northwest The
Dubourdieu is long schooship, carrying
six-inch and five-inch guns and one
Founders, besides two torpedo tubes The
Maylower ran close enough to the frigate
to establish the Frenchinans S identity and
then stood off. Our flag was not saluted.
The Dubourdieu, like the French sloop
of war Fulton, had on board many refu-
gees. She is bound, probably, for some
Mexican port.
The activity along the coast continues.
Squads of Spanish cavalry and parties
working upon Notifications have been
seen daily along the shore but they have
not been molested.
Orders have been given not to expose
the small vessels of the squadron to un-
necessary danger.

is impossible to send out the information
except through the Government.
General Greedy also telegraphed the
Anglo-American Cable Company. this
morning renewing their attention to the
prohibition against any messages inimicai
to the interests of the Government and in
particular forbidding the receipt or send
ing of messages disclosing the movements
of our Ships or prospective military move
mentS.
The orders to these two companies were
sent, as the channels of communication
under their control seem to be, for the
moment. the ones through which the
Spanish admiral and the Spanish authori-
ties at Madrid and Havana are most likely
to secure Information as to our vessels
movements. While it was not suspected
that spies were sending direct informa-
ton. the transmission of press dispatches
on vessel movements was looked upon as
likely to indicate to the Spanish with
sufficient certainty the general where
abouts and purposes of our fleets.
The precautions taken, 1t is believed,
will so restrict this character of cable in
formation to the Government and the fleet
commanders that the Spanish authorities
from now on will he cut off from all
knowledge of our naval and military
plans.
General Greelys telegraphic orders sup-
plement the written orders he had pre-
viously given to all cable companies, six
in number, having lines raddating from
the United States. The written orders
have been agreed to in writing by each
of the cable companies and now consti-
tute an agreement with the Government.

MERR|TT'S TASK.
War Department Thinks He
Should Have a Big
Force Of Regulars.

WASHINGTON, May II, 1S9S.-Col. R P.
Hughes, Inspector General with head
quarters at New York City. was at the
War Department today a mission fr on
General Merritt in connection with the
assignment of regular troops to accom-
pany the Philippine expedition soon TO
start from San Francisco. General Mer-
ritts preference for larger number uf
regulars than it was proposed by the
Department to give him has been known
here for some time and his VIEWS on tEat
subject are shared by many of the army
officials.
They realize that General Merritt will
have a delicate and important duty to
perform as military governor of the Phil
ippines and they agree in expressing The
opinion that the General should have an
adequate and well disciplined force at his
command 20 maintain order in city that
will be filed with discordant elements.
There are not enough regulars in the
West to furnish the number that General
Merritt thinks should be sent on the ex-
pedition and consequently Secretary AL
ger and the Department officials have
been considering the advisibility Of with
drawing about three of the infantry reg
iments from Tampa where a large number
are now repdezvoused and of deSpatching
them posthaste, to the Pacific coast.
These men are we'll seasoned and thor
ougnly disciplined and are just the kind
General Merritt believes should be sent
sn the trans-Pacific trip. Captain Jesse
NJ. Lee of the 9th Infantry, who has been
stationed at Tampa recently, reported al
Arny headquarters today IN response to
telegraphic instructions. and 1t may be he
is here with reference to the sending Of
some OF the troops now there to the Phil
ippines.
General Greeley, Chief Signal Officers, is
making arrangements to send Il detach-
ment Of six officers and 55 men made up
largely of telegraph operators and cleo
tricians to accompany the Philippine ex-
pedition.
The published interview with General
Merritt at New York in the course of
which he is reported as having expressed
his unwillingness to take the command
at the Philippine Islands, without the
Government gave him more than 1900
volunteer troops, and complaining that
such a command was Inadequate to his
rank, is likely TO be the subject of an in
quiry by the Government as to whether
he was correctly reported. A member of
the Cabinet said after the meeting that
he had no doubt the matter would re-
ceive official attention.

MIDNIGHT BURGLAR ALARM.
Janitor of the Fifth Ward Savings
Bank Summons the Police.

About LIS p NJ. this morning q shrill
blast from a whistle aroused the tenants
in the neighborhood of Erie street and
Pavonia avenue. and in less than ffteen
minutes the whole vicinity was CROWDED
with people anxious to see what was the
matter. After a great deal Of excitement
the call for the police was located from IN
the top floor of the building of the Firth
Ward Savings Bank, and two heads were
poked out the window announcing 10 TIE
police that a burglar was in the building.
The heads belonged to the janitor and his
wife. AS soon as the Janltor blew the
whistle sixteen policemen appeared under
the command of Sergeant Harrington Of
the Second precinct. The police had the
entire four blocks surrounded III such a
manner a few minutes after the alarm
had been given that it was impossible for
any one to escape it he had been IN the
building. .s>.

there was dance in the hall last even
ing, given by the pupils of dancing
academy, but that they had all left at
eleven o'clock and both her husband and
she had retired Immediately after closing
all the doors in the building. She said
about one o'clock she heard a noise In the
hall and spoke to her husband, who at
first did not get UP, but lay still and
istened. A few minutes later, however,
he got up and went into the kitchen, to
which room she followed him. She said
she heard a noise as if some one were
trying to force a key in the door, but
was prevented by there being key in the
lock on the inside. Her husband then
went to the window and blew his whistle
as he did not want to take any chances,
as his wife put it, on account of not hav-
ing a revolver in the house,
On the arrival of the police the key of
the front door of the building was then
lowered to them by the janitor. A search
of the building was then made from top
to bottom. which lasted nearly an hour.

there was no burglar at all.

PRESSURE vs.. PIPE.
Why Captain Heoker Thinks
the City Cannot Abandon
High Service Pumps.

Captain William III. Hooker, Supervising
Engineer of the Belleville pumping sta
tion had long talk with Mayor Hoos
today The Mayor wanted to know if
tho High Service plant could not be
abolished if the pipes across the meadow
were forced to carry more water. Cap
tain Hooker informed His Honor that
there are two ways to bring about the
abandon of the High Service pumping
plant.
was tflis:-"The High Service station can
he shut at any time if the city Will lay
an additional 1G-inch main across the
meadows from Belleville to a point some-
where in the neighborhood of the High
Service station. With one more main 1t
will be unnecessary to increase the pres
sure on any of the three mains now
used
What would a new main, such as you
describe, cost?'' asked the Mayor.
Captain Hooker gave 100000 as the OUT
side cost.
The Mayor did not like the idea of hav-
ing the city spend 100000 at this time.
When asked about how much pressure
the present mains will stand Captain
Hooker said L.
IF it is proposed to attempt to de-
liver water at High Service. at an ele-
walton of 212 feet, l would suggest that
the experiment be tried with our 2O-inch
main e
IF that main should burst the city
would not be embarrassed. On the otler
hand should either of the large steel
mains burst there would be shortage Of
water for at least three weeks, while re
pairs were being made.
If the 20-inch main will stand the ex-
ira pressure it will be possible to dispose
of High Service. The Hudson City sec
tion is the only portion of the city which
has to have a pumped supply Hudson
City derives its supply from the 20-inch
main. It is my opinion that the 20-inch
main win hold out, provided ali surface
connections are removed from it. Snake
Hill and the Erie Railroad are on the
20-inch main BY furnishing those con-
sumers from some other pipe it will be
possible to give Hudson City all it re-
quires.
Mayor Hoos decided to have the capac-
ity Of the 20-ineh main tested at once.
IF he finds that it wilh carry sufficient
water for Hudson City he will communi-
cate with the Street and Water Board
and demand the closing Of High Service;
The shutting wodn of High Service and
the dismissal of the men would save the
city at least $50, 900 a year.
