NEW SQUADRON FORMING
President Mckinley To-day Will Is- sue Proclamation Announcing the Extension of the
 Blockade.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June 27.-The Wash ington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: General Blanco and the Spanish forces in Cuba are to be cut off from every possible source of SUD- plies. President Mckinley will to-mor- row issue a proclamation declaring the entire coast of Cuba to be blockaded. This proclamation will be similar in it's terms to that issued by the President on April 22 declaring the blockade of Havana and other ports.
 This action would have been taken earlier in the war had the Navy De- partment enough vessels at its dis posal to maintain an effective blockade Commodore Howell is to command the entire blockading squadron, which has been designated as the first squadron of the North Atlantic fleet. His flag ship will be the San Francisco, which has been the flagship of the patrol squadron. The principal vessels that he will take with him are the Colum- bia, the Minneapolis, the Topeka and the Princeton and all the torpedo boats which have been stationed along the |. coast.
 So certain do the authorities feel that there is no danger of a Spanish fleet crossing the Atlantic that the northern patrol squadron, which has been under command of Commodore J. A. Howell is to be disbanded and all vessels are to go south, with the single exception of the ram Katahdin, which is to be stationed in Hampton Roads and which with the vessels of the mosquito fleet under the command of Rear Admiral Erben, retired, will be depended upon for coast defense.

KEY WEST, June 27.-The chase of a Spanish gunbcat into Cienfuegos harbor on June 13 by the Yankee re- suited in seven Spaniards being killed and three injured, while the gunboat was so badly damaged that she had to be beached, according to advices just received here. It is not known what the name of the Spanish boat was by any one of the officers of the auxiliary cruiser, but the execution done causes great elation among both officers and crew, the latter being composed mostly of New York naval reserves. The Yan- kee was not aware of the work she ha6 done until June 22, when a catboat containing three CubanS was picked uI off Cienfuegos.
 On June 20 the Yankee sighted a Spanish merchantmen off CaSilda, but she escaped into the harbor, and wher pursuing her the Yankee was fired or by the fort and gunboat. She returned the fire, sending in fifteen shots, and although Blanco in a message to Mad rid said that no damage was inflicted the Yankees sailors are positive that several Spaniards were killed, and that much injury was done to the fort.
 Cruising near the Isle of Pines last Saturday the Yankee captured five fishing smacks bound for Batabano The crews were allowed to get to shore and the smacks were then burned, be- cause of the difficulty of trying to gel them into one of our ports.

Cisnero is announced to have left for Ferrol.
 The Spanish officials express the hope that the third Spanish squadron will be ready for sea in five weeks.
 The Military Governor of Cadiz is mounting new guns and preparing ad- ditional defenses between Forts Rota and Candelaria, owing to rumors of a contemplated American invasion.
 GIBRALTAR, June 2.-The third Spanish squadron, 1t is announced here, consisting of the Cardenal Cisnero, Le- panto, Numancia, Vitoria, the monitor Puig- Cerda, three torpedo boats and the auxiliary steamers Meteoro, Leon XIII and Montserrat, commanded by Admiral BarroSa, has been ordered to assemble at CadiZ as early as possible" "
 Some of the vessels mentioned as composing the Spanish third squadron are very much behind the age. The Numancia is an iron vessel built in 1881, capable of steaming, according to the registers, eight knots. Her main battery consists of eight 10-inch mug zle-loading Armstrong guns, and her secondary battery Is composed of six 6.2-inch quick-firinr guns.
 The Vitoria is training ship of the broadside frigate class, built in 1865 and having a belt of five and a half inches of old-fashioned armor. Her main bat tery consists of eight 9-inch muzzle- loading Armstrong guns. She may be able to steam ten knots.
 The monitor Puig- Cerda is the Span- ish torpedo training ship. She mounts one 6-inch gun and two 4.7-inch bronze smooth bores. It is calculated that she may steam eight knots an hour and her armor is four inches thick Her coal supply Is so small that she would be of little or no use outside of a har- bor.
 The Cardenal Cisnero is a first class armored cruiser of the most modern type, built in 1896 at cost of s, 900, 00O having an armored belt twelve inches thick, ten and one-half inches of armor over her gun positions, an armored deck two inches thick and eight tor pedo tubes. She carries about 1900 tons of coal, was built to steam 20 knots, is of TOGO tons displacement and 15,000 in- dicated horse power, and carries two 11-inch guns, ten 10.5-inch quick-firing guns, two 2.7-inch guns, four 2.2-inch guns and four 1.4-inch guns and two smaller rapid-fire guns.

GIBRALTAR, June 27.-The trans atlantic steamer Alfonzo XIII has ar rived at Cadiz from the Canaries and entered the arsenal. where she is fit ing out as a cruiser. I had an inter- view with Martinez del Rio, a Texan employed by the Navy Department at Washington, who arrived at Cadiz from Paris about the last of May and stop ped at the Hotel Paris. He passed as a Mexican. He is of medium height. slight and swarthy, with heavy black mustache. He is Spanish in appear ance and speaks Spanish perfectly. He is not connected with any newspaper and has simply spied for the Navy De- partment with wonderful success, join ing in the hue and cry for so-called traitors and supplying information to the Americans. He had an interview with Captain Aunon, Spanish Minister of Marine, and contributed 200 pesetas to the war fund. He was only suspected when the fleet was leaving. He saw the fleet off and sailed for Tangier on June 1T and cabled to Washington He is now here. He says 1t is his opinion that the third squadron is all bosh The Lepanto is the only good vessel. The ironclad Alfonso XIII is a thorough failure, having been built wrong, and is only useful as a coast guard.
 He confirmed my views about the Princesa de Asturias and the Porto Rico. He leaves on Wednesday via Marseilles. He adds that he cannot discover the identity of the correspond ent of the Herald, which he says is un- doubtedly the best-informed paper.
 CADIZ, June 27.-It Is announced here that the Spanish cruisers Vitoria and Alfonso XIII have left the arsenal and that the Caraica and Isla de Luzon are ready for their armament.
 It is further reported that an addi- tional force of men has been ordered employed to hasten the completion of the armored cruiser Princesa de Astu- rias. The auxiliary cruiser Meteor is said to have received her new arna- ment and the armored cruiser Cardenal

 Order. as&
REINFORCEMENT FOR SHAF-
 TER SOON TO START.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Prepara- tions for hurrying re-enforcements to General Shafter and for the Porto Rican expedition are progressing as fast as possible. General Shafters or ders are to send back to Tampa as many of the transports with his eX- petition as he can spare. It was stated officially to-day that General Miles, commanding the army, would command the next expedition which leaves the United States. Just what this Is to be, and where 1t Is to go, could not be as- certained.
 The number of re-enforcements which are to be sent to Shafter will be an ex- petition nearly as formidable as that which left Tampa two weeks ago. After Santiago has been reduced and captured by the American forces there will be an ample number to leave in the province to preserve order and to hold the place, while the remainder may be used for the Porto Rican ex- petition.
 The officials at the War Department decline to-day to indicate where the fifteen regiments which General Brooke, commanding at Chickamauga, has been requested to have in readiness to move
 
 been put in readiness for a large num- Der of men, and it may be the Chicka- mauga men will go there. At Miami, further down the coast, there are about six regiments, while at Tampa, on the Gulf coast, there are approximately 12,000 men.
 CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL MILL TARY PARK, June 27.-At Camp Thomas to-day all interest centers in the preparations of fifteen of the regi- ments to get away to Cuba. The work of supplying all the needs of these regi- ments, begun yesterday afternoon, con- tinues rapidly to-day, and such good progress is being made that every one of the fifteen is expected to be fully supplied by tomorrow. It is not known just when the movement will begin, as General Brooke as yet has issued no or ders except the one for immediate prep arations. The indications are, however, that the first to go will get out Wednes- day. The two railroads leading from here to the Florida coast have scores of locomotives and hundreds of cars in waiting, and can handle the men rap idly.
 The fifteen regiments under orders are the best trained and best equipped at the camp. They are the Eighth Mas sachusetts, Sixteenth Pennsylvania, First West Virginia, Fifth Illinois, One Hundred and Sixtieth Indiana, First New Hamnshire, Fourth Ohio, Thirty first Michigan, Third Wisconsin, Second | Wisconsin, One Hundred and Fifty eighth Indiana, Fourth Pennsylvania, First Georgia and Twelfth New York
 The officers who will command the brigades under orders to proceed from | Camp Thomas to Cuba are as follows: General Earnest. First Brigade, First Division: General Stanger, Second Bri- qada First Division: General Wiley | Third Brigade, First Division; Colone | Gardner, First Brigade, Second Di- vision; General Mckee, Second Brigade | Second Division.

received from the home government,
coal will not be regarded as contraband
of war. There are now $500 tons OF

The correspondent here of the Asso-
ciated Press is semi-otiicially informed
that the increase in force OF the British
fleet and the reinforcing OF the garrison
here are measures taken to prepare for
the enforcement OF neutrality, in antic-
iDation of war between the United
States and Spain. For example, IL n
Spanish and an American ship happen
to be in the harbor at the same time, one
of them will not be allowed to leave un-
til twenty-four hours after the other,
and at least enough coal will be supplied
to the warshIps to steam to the next
friendly port.
