The Westminster Gazette says IL

one of renewed expectation. There Is
strong impression prevailing that the
next news from the fleet will tell of an
important engagement of the same
character as the Asiatic squadron's
Manila victory. Until then no inter-
esting developments are expected ex-
cept possibly the bringing in of new
prizes.
Key West, Fla, May 5.-The New
York, Indiana, Iowa, Cincinnati, De-
troit, Mayfiower and probably several
other war vessels here are positively
going to Porto Rico to reduce the forti-
fications there and prevent the Spanish
fleet now supposed to be coming from
Cape Verde from making Porto Rico a
base of operations. The plans are per-
fectly arranged. The blockade of the
Cuban ports will be maintained with
out the vessels mentioned. The New
York anchored at it's original position
outside Sand Key light, and while no.
body would admit that Porto Rico
would be the destination Ii was gen.
! erally believed that all the ships would
! be provisoned for a long voyage.
To Destroy Base of Supplies.
The Spanish fleet coming west con-
sists of four cruisers, two torpedo boat
destroyers and three torpedo boats. The
plan of the American campaign is to
have the naval depot at Porto Rico, the
coal station and the fortifications either
DESTROYED or occupied by our men be-
fore the Spanish fleet arrives. After
destroying the base or supphes th'
American 1otilla will then put to sef
