Ships with Watson.
The captains who go with Commodore
Watson are the fighting men of the navy,
and most Of them added to their laurels
| in the recent engagement on Santiago.
They are Capt. Barker, of the Newark;
Capt. R. B.. Evans of the Iowa; Capt.
c. E. Clark. of the Oregon; Command
| er w. H. Brownson, of the Yankee; Com
| mander w. H. Emery, of the Yosemite,
and Capt. c. H. Davis, OF the Dixie.
/ The statement Is made on excellent au-
| thority that Commodore Watson will sail
| with his feet for Spain within three days.
Secretary Long cabled to Commodore
Watson late yesterday afternoon the or
der to detach his ships from the fleet of
Santiago Immediately. 1t is understood
| that the Oregon and Iowa will take part
| in the expected bOmbardment of the
Santiago fortifications tomorrow. and
that they will be detached on Sunday
from SIMPSONS command. They will not
wait for the completion of the Santiago
attack, IL the ci1y has not surrendered
at that time.
All thought that naval officers and 9TH
ers entertained a week ago that the East
ern Squadron was merely an attempt to
keep Camara frem leaving the Mediter-
ranean is now given up. The Eastern
Squadron is one of the most important
plans of the present war program II Is
believed by the Administration that it
may play the final act in the war drama.
President Mckinley hopes that the ar
guments of the great guns at the doors of
Spain will be the final inducement to-
ward Spain's surrender, where the de-
struction of fleets and the capture of coll
onies in distant parts Of the world have
not been effective.
1t may be stated on the best authority
that two important changes have been
made within the last two days in the
plans for the squadron. There are to be
six colliers with the first division Of the
squadron instead of three, as at first
planned. Together they will carry enough
pines. The first division probably will
not make any attack on the Canaries or
on Spain herself.
The chase for the Camara squadron IS
TO be made in earnest and TO the Phil
ippines themselves if necessary.
The composition of the second division
Of the squadron and its commander are
somewhat in doubt as yet, as is also the
time when it will sail. There is some talk
that Commodore Schley may be given Its
command instead Of Admiral Sampson.
He was the first commander of the fly
ing squadron" which did not fly, but was
kept at Hampton Roads. acquiring barna.
cles. Also he has eminently demonstrated
his ability to command a fighting squad
ron One belief now held is that the
second division will not sail until the
operations against Porto Rico have been
completed
The second division is intended to make
the final argument with Spain. There is
no question that bombardment of Cadiz
is in contemplation If the peace proposal
has not been made before 1t reaches the
other side.

Barbee and Smith for their personal use

An effort is being made to have a
United States commissary agent station

tinues. to contract for necessary supplies.
The Secretary of War has recommended
the appointment of additional commits
saries. but as yet President Mckinley
has not acted. Maryland members in
Congress have been asked to use their
influence to have a commissary station
ed in Baltimore in the event OF additional
appointments. Temporary commissaries

parts of the country. The cost of ship
ment is much higher than it would be

in New York, is said to be the only per-
manently located commissary.
