watson VIII Take Plenty of Coal
to Spain.
Washington, July S.-The president
called a council of wal yesterday to
meet at the White House. the purpose
being to review the situation and learn
exactly what present conditions are
II what changes, if any should be
made in the plans for the future con-
duct of the war. According to one of
the members present 1t vas decided to
abide by the plans already laid, at least
as to the general conduct of the cam
paign. Confirmation seemed to have
been given to this statement later in
the day, when, after a conference with
the members of the war board, Sec
rotary Long announced to the waiting
newspaper men that he had ordered
Admiral Sampson to detach from his
own command Immediately the YES
sells to be embraced in Commodore
Watson's eastern squadron and to di-
rect the commodore to proceed on his
mission.
The vessels of the squadron will not
be the same as those originally Sc
lected, for the reason probably that the
ltNClll tllSdEtllltul Win Ctl vel d >
squadron necessitated some changes.
The new eastern squadron will con-
sist of the battleships Iowa and Oregon,
the protected cruiser Newark and the
auxiliary cruisers Dixie, Yankee and
Yosemite, the GOLFERS Averend, Cas-
sius, Caesar, Leonidas and Justin, and
the supply boat Delmonico. The Iowa,
Oregon and Newark are all in the
south with Sampson. So is the Yose-
mite. The Dixie is at New York and
the Yankee at Tompkinsville. The
c~olliers are at Hampton Roads with
the DelmUniCo. The ships are to set
sail as soOn is they can coal and sup
ply.
The order provides that each ship
shall make her way across the Atlantic
to a marine rendezvous, which will be
designated in sealed orders, and the
most that is known is that it will be at
some point off the Spanish coast. 1t
probably will not be long after that
before the American squadron will be
in full pursuit of Camara with his
remnant of the Spanish navy. Mean
while the gathering of the American
fleet off the Spanish ports is expected
to have a SOLDERING effect upon the in
famed people. The number of golfers
accompanying the expedition is evil
dence that a long cruise lies ahead,
and that our naval auxiliary propose
to be caught in no such position as was
Camara at Port Said, obliged to submit
to a refusal of Coaling privileges. a
telegram received at the state depart
ment yesterday afternoon announced
that Camara was still lying with his
squadron at Suez, the southern and
