sssled the Two EIs ct, Rill U-it. and Meet
The Spanish Fiosil,a.


The 81 aatsh Eiosira.
Tne Washington correspondent of
The Herald says.
Facts all point to the theory that
there is to oe union of warspips un-
der Rear Admiral Sam pson with those
under Commodore Schley IS point
IN tie ocesn previously agreed upon
and that the scouts are to report to
them the location and direction Of the
Spanish ships. I! is not believed to be
possible that the Spanish ships will be
able to avoid ali of the scouting yes
sells.
As soon as Rear Admiral Sampson
learns the whereabouts of the Spanish
a7eg and the direction in which it is
isalliI 6 he can ge!undsr way to in
terc-pI it. throwing his scouts out in
front so as to cover wide expanse Of
sea and following with his srmor ves-
sels in the line OF battle ready 10 give
fight as soon as they come IN contac
with the enemy.
Opinions differ somewhat in nava
circles as to the destination of the
Spanish feet. Many naval officers
can scarcely couccelve it to be possible
.ha. the Spanish admira would be nc
rash as to bring his vessels within
reach OF such an overwhelming force
as that which Rear Admiral Sampson
could bring against him.
They believe that If be has held 8
westerly course he counts on being
able to reach Porto Rico and get his
vessels safely into the harbor Of San
Juan before he can be attacked by an
overwhelming American force. When
ne left S.. VI0cenr the American force
wss divided. Rear Admiral Sampson
apparently was fully occupied With
the blockade Of Cuban ports and the
only vessels available to be sent
against hin were those under Com
uodore Schley.

In Get Ing Recruits.
The Ssvsnahian, says the Savannah
News, received a letter from lady
friend in neighboring city yester-
day, in which she spoke of the war,
aro incidentally the meeting there OF
a coloreG company OF infantry, called
together by their captain because OF
tae uggestion that certain nun DER
of colored volunteers would be called
for. TIE company met aud after due
d. Liberation passed resolutions with
regard to the matter. II was evident
from the tenor of the resolutions that
the company was on the war path,
aad wanted to get into Cubs at once.
Therefore, the franer of the resolu
ticns started out by making them as
warm as possible. There was no
dou5 as to what the company wanted
10 dc, but this is what they said IN the
first resolution:
Resolved, Tbs! this company do
tender its services to evaoe Cuba at
once"
rDis is ore company which will pro.
badly have 20 trouble in fully recruit
,ng lis srauks, il it sticks to the letter OF
its resolutions.
