Washington, June 17.-No news is
expected from the fleet at Santiago
before Sunday. That statement was
made at the Navy Department to-day
and was based upon an accurate knowl-
edge OF the course adopted by the troop
transports and the rate of speed at
which the vessels are travelling. The
fixing upon Sunday as the day upon
which news might be expected is sup
posed to have been brought about from
the consideration that it will take some
time, probably as much as two days,
TO land the troops and their heavy
equipments.

this evening in the best Of condition
for his contest Monday with Charley
Burns. Johnson has delayed putting
in an appearance on the ground Of bat

The Beau Brummel has evidently
seen the error Of his ways and for the
last three weeks has been giving all
his attention towards getting in the
best physical shape possible. In fact
Burns has surprised his most ardent
admirers by the earnest way he has
continued training.
Considerable rivalry exists among
the youngsters in the preliminary
events. and it is interesting to note the
zeal displayed by these lads TO harden
their muscles for their little argument
with the gloves. In a way these bouts
will receive as much attention as the
main attraction.

Washington, D. c., June lit is
said by naval experts that the charac-
ter Of the vessels now at Norfolk and
vicinity being prepared for service pre-
cludes the idea of their employment as
a squadron to attack and capture the
Canary Islands. The Canary Islands
are well fortified, better even than San
Juan de Porto Rico, and they could De
safely and successfully attacked only
by armored ships.
The idea of attacking the Canaries, as
near as can be gathered, is based upon
the theory that the war can be more
speedily terminated by carrying it very
close TO Spain and this in turn cannot
be done without the capture OF a pro-
per base from which to operate fleet
such as would be afforded by the Canar-
les 1t is evident that if this idea has
obtained the expedition cannot be dis
patched until by the destruction or
capture of Cervera's fleet in Santiago
harbor and by destruction of the forth
fication at the entrance 10 the harbor,
Sampson is able TO make up powerful
ironclad squadron from among the best
vessels Of his fleet In doing this he
must regard also the maintenance of
the blockade, for which more ships will
be required after the fall Of Santiago,
