THE ARGONAUTA.
Prize Court Decides That the
Steamer is Prize of War.

KEY WEST, May 20.--Oyer forty
cases of ammunition were found to-day
on the Spanish steamer Argonauta
captured during the first days Of the
war. 1t was on board this steamer that
Lieutenant-Colonel Cortijo, Weyler's
brother-in-Iaw, was captured with
other Spanish soldiers now prisoners at
Fort Mcpherson.
The discovery of the war supplies on
board the Argonatuta will not change
the status of her case before the prize
court. 1t had already decided to-day
before learning of the find, that the
steamer was legitimately a prize of
war. No claims had been filed by the
owners of the ship or cargo.
A like decision was rendered in the
case of the steamer Ambrosio Bolivar
and the schOoners Candidita, Mathilde
and Sophia. The only formality re-
naming to make those vessels the alb
solute property of the United States is
the confirmation by the Federal Court
authorities of the findings of the Prize
Commission.
The cases of the Buena Ventura, the
first capture of the war, and the Pc
dro, Catalina, Miguel Jover, Panama
and Guido, all large and valuable
steamers, will have to be tried in regu-
lar form by the United States Court,
claims having been filed by the owners
of the ships and cargOes.

GENERAL WESLEY MERRITT.
Will Probably Leave Washington
To-day for San Francisco.

WASHINGTON, May 20-Maior-
General Wesley Merritt, who is to com
mand the expedition to the Philippines.
accompanied by several members of
his staff, reported at the War Depart
ment this morning, and consulted with
Secretary Alger and the regular army
officers concerning his future work.
Later in the day he had talk with
the President, and received instr.c-
tons for his guidance in the delicate
and important duties assigned to him.
General Merritt will leave here prob
ably tomorrow for San Francisco. stop
ping en- route a day or more at Chi
cago He is yet uncertain as to the
precise date he viii sail for the Philip
pines. The General expects that he Will
have an ample force of men to estab-
lish the mission on which he is sent.
Between $4,000 and 1900 troops. he
thinks. viii be allotted him. OF ehis
number he confidently hopes there may
be approximately 5000 soldiers of The
regular army. who because of their
thorough discipline and usage to actual
military life, are regarded as absolutely
essential to the successful completion
of the work in hand There is ample
evidence already that the authorities
are disposed to meet General Merriet'
views This is shown by the order is

ments of Infantry, now stationed in tile

expedition bore on what the United
States troops would encounter there
The population of the islands. the fight
ing force Of the Spaniards in that quar-
ter. and the geographical phases of the
occupation of the islands We're consid-
cred Statements as to the troops
which General Merritt and his forces
will have to cope with were submitted.
They ranged from six to twenty thous-
and Spanish soldiers, but the conclu-
sion reached was that the number
could be encountered on a basis of TO-
600
The force already selected to go with
General Merritt is believed to be more
than adequate. If the number was
found greater, the Administration
would send as many men as would be
wanted to reinforce those about to
start with General Merritt.
A significant feature of the session
was the absence of any discussion of
the military and naval movements as
to Cuba or the Spanish fleet This was
one result of the policy which had been
agreed on between the members of the
Presidents Cabinet, and aside from
Secretary Alger and SECRETARY Long,
very little is known by the Cabinet as
to what is going on on the sea south
of US. This is in line with the Ad-
ministration's firm policy of withhold
ing any information that might be
taken advantage of by the enemy. in
view of the frequent chance conversa-
tons of individual members in which
such news might be unintentionally
made known.
This morning Secretary of War Alger
had a long consultation with the Presi-
dent. but what it related to was not
disclosed He stated that the depart
ment had nothing to make public. Sen
atOr Cullom and Representative Bou-
tele of Illinois saw the President in
regard to the claim Of John c. Rhode
of Illinois to one United States Com
missionership to Alaska.
If President Mckinley received any
important information before the meet
ing of the Cabinet to-day it was not of
such a nature as to be made public,
and he had none to divulge to those
who consulted him before that time.
Senator Shoup of Idaho, who spent
some time with the President to-day,
expressed the belief that the reported
arrival of the Spanish fleet at Santiago
was true, and that it might have the
effect of bringing about an earlier
close of the war than had been ex-
pected. He thought. however, the
indications were the war might last a
year.
Senator Nelson of Minnesota said ne
believed that Congress would adjourn
within a month.
The Cabinet was a little late in as
sembling.

PRESS CENSORSHIP.
Lieutenant Miley VIII Look Over
DISPATCHES Sent From Tampa.

TAMPA (Fla), May 20.-Al the
newspaper correspondents at Tampa
have been notified that in future all
dispatches must be placed in the hands
of Lieutenant Miley of General Shaft
er's staff for approval. The censorship

keep the Spanish Government in COM
plete ignorance of the movements of
the army.
General Wade. Lieutenants Read and
Amy of his staff, and Colonel J. T.
Weston returned to Tampa after hav-
ing inspected the prospective camping
grounds for volunteer troops at jack
sonville. Miami. Palm Beach and other
east coast points. 1t is possible that
a favorable report will be made in re-
gard to Jacksonville as a point of con-
centration. Fully 10000 troops it is
said. could be easily taken care of
there There is plenty of good water
there. and rail and harbor facilities
are such that troops could be quickly
moved to Tampa or elsewhere or put
on board transports.
General Wade and his staff officers
and clerks will leave on Saturday for
Chickamauga, where General Wade
will take command of the Third.
Colonel Babcock left Tampa last
night under orders to report to Major

Manila expedition.

officers of the Ninth Artillery, stationed
at Port Tampa. have placed under ar
rest a boy named Garcia or Hernandez,

discriminating nature. An investigation
was conducted to-day by Lieutenant
NIiley of General Skaters staff. The
boy. who is the son of a prominent
cigar manufacturer of Tampa. was ar
rested while taking photographs of the
transports at Port Tampa He is only
IL years old, and has lived here all his
life.
