TO COAL THE BIG SHIPS.
Naval Authorities at Key West Instruct-
 cd to Make Quick Preparattons.


 Key West, Fla, May 15-This has been Sunday of unusual activity here and it is apparent that an important strategic movement is being planned Commodore Watson arrived on the gunboat Dolphin from the blockading fleet off Havana, orders came thick and fast from Washington, and the naval station authorities were instructed to make quick preparation to coal the big ships. It is thought that there will be no occasion to begin coaling before Tuesday or Wednesday, although it would not be surprising were the work to begin tonight or tomorrow.
 The ships already in the harbor have been ordered to get up steam without delay, but the officers say they are ig- norant of what this may indicate. The announcement from the north of the coming of the flying squadron strength ems the theory held here that united movement of some kind is contemplat- ed. The chief factor in the situation is the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet, uHueIolOOu u DS Oil lllG VGuCIUS1etIl coast. It Is conceded by naval men that if the Ceveras squadron is going to meet the detached blockading squad ron off Cuba while Admiral Simpsons S ships are coaling here disastrous blow might be inflicted, and it Is be- lieved the plan now under consideration is to obviate any such possibility. Ex- traordinary precautions are being talk en for the protection of Key West har- Dor, although the rumor lately circulat- ed here that the Spanish fleet is head ing this way is secuted by the officials

THE CHINESE INDEMNIFY.
Japan to Hold a Part of It in London as
 Reserve.

London, May 15.-Some 2OOO, ,O0O pounds of the Chinese indemnity are expected to be remitted to Japan to re- place the delivery of gold coin since the gold standard was introduced. Other wise the Japanese government intends to hold the indemnity as a reserve in London, only releasing portion occa- sionally for the payment of indebted ness for naval armaments. The Bank of England continues its process of en- larging the gold reserve. The trade balance in favor of the United States, in consequence of the rise in the price of breadstuffs, is already estimated at 20, ,O00, 900 pounds. Therefore heavy gold exports may commence at any time.

MORE HEATY FIRING REPORTED.
assachusetts Sea Towns Kept in n State
 of Excitement.


 Provincetown, Mass, Hay 15.-A re- port reached here at noon to-day that heavy firing had been heard off Chatham and Nantucket. The San Francisco, which was in the harbor, immediately put to esq and when well down the cape met Ghe Prairie on her way to this port from a cruise seaward. Commander Train of the Prairie re- ported that the ship had target prac- tice off Chatham. On the way down the cape the San Francisco held up the Gate City of the Savannah line with two shots across her bow. The captain of the latter boat also reported the firing. Reports of the firing came from many points along the cape and caused the greatest excitement in this town until the two ships came in late in the afternoon. The Prairie was on her way from New York to Boston to join the mosquito fleet and was off Provincetown Saturday morning when the Columbia, bound seaward, sig nailed her. The Prairie accordingly started after the Columbia.

The Hugh McCulloch also reports that the Philippine insurgents applied to Rear Admiral Dewey for his ap- proval of an attack by them upon the city. The admiral, it appears approves of the plan, provided no excesses are committed. The insurgents then plead ed that they had no arms with the exception of machettes, to which the admiral replied: Help yourselves at the Cavite arsenal" The city of Man fla, however, has not yet been attack ed.
 About 5000 Spanish troops are guard ing the road leading from Cavite to Manila. There is no truth in the re- ported massacre of a number of Amer jeans. There has only been trifling incident during police duty and nobody was hurt.

Madrid, May 15-1 D. m.-The Impar- cial to-day publishes a dispatch from Havana giving another extraordinary Spanish version of a battle.

The Spanish vessels fired twenty shots and the American fired eight, the lat ter retreating, apparently damaged. Three crowded tugs followed the gum boats, the people on board cheering them"

SPANISH CABINET,
Changes Are Not Connected With a
 Peace Movement.

'
 Peace Movement.
 London, May 15.-A dispatch to the Times from Madrid, which will be pub- lished tomorrow, confirms the official denial at the Spanish capital that the cabinet changes are connected with a peace movement. The Times corre- spondent says: "The conclusion to be drawn from the reorganization, that they are seeking a peaceable solution of the question, has for the moment been abandoned, and the war will be prosecuted vigorously. There was a prolonged cabinet council this after noon, dealing with the crisis, and sev- eral points were practically settled. Senor Sagasta, though weak in health, remains as the head of the council of the ministry.
 -Four ministers, Senors Gul1on, Ber- mejo, Moret and Xiquena, will retire, partly for personal reasons and partly because of differences on important pol icies Senor Sagasta will choose the strongest liberals he. can find, but sev- eral of the strongest, notably Senor Ma gaco have intimated that they will not take office at present. It is hoped and expected that General Corea, who has valuable qualifications for his post, will remain.'

Washington, May 15.-Secretary Long was at the navy department several times during the day and authorized the publication of the statement that the torpedo boat, belonging to the Spanish fleet, was disabled at Port of France, Martinique. The dispatch is as follows:
 Spanish torpedo boat Terror disabled at Port of France, Martinique.
 There was a disposition among some of those who saw this statement to re- gard it with suspicion, suggesting that it was merely a blind and that the Spanish government had caused it to be spread so that no complaint could be made to France on account of the stay of the boat at neutral port. None of the officials, however, would express themselves on the subject.

 Charleston, s. C., May 15.-(On board the flagship Brooklyn, flying squadron, off Charleston, May 15)-The four ves- sells of war, comprising the major por- tion of the flying squadron, Commodore Schley, anchored off Charleston bar, nine miles from Charleston City, at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon, after having been at sea three days and no sign of Spanish cruiser or torpedo boats said to be in this vicinity have been seeen. At sunset before leaving Hampton Roads, active battle preparations were made. With all lights extinguished the squad ron proceeded in a southerly direc- ton. Towards morning several heavy fog banks were run into and during one of these the collier Sterling became detached. The only event of the trip was the holding up of a British steam CT which did not display her flag at first. The fleet had splendid weather and smooth sea. The squadron has been ordered to Key West and sails to- night.
 Key West, May 15.-Advices received here are to the effect that three squad rons, one of which is hostile, are racing toward Key West each under full sail in order to be first at the goal.
