left the president, though he would not
say that the president had given him
any information.
Others who were with the president to
day asserted that there was strong like
lihood that Porto Rico would be in the
hands Of the United States within forty
eight hours. The immediate seizure OF
the island, they asserted, had been or
dered, though direct confirmation was
lacking.
It was stated today that neither the
president nor his advisers were disturbed
at the situation Of the Oregon and the
Marietta They had no fear that the
Cape Verde feet was enroute TO inter
cept them. for the reason that such
move would be the highest folly. In case
Of an attack, it was confidently believed
that the Oregon would sink at least one
o rtwo OF her assailants so that II the
enemy succeeded IN defeating her he
would have suffered an equal or greater
loss himself This exchange the Span
iards were IN nopo sition to make.
Although the government had no official
news Of the present whereabouts Of the
Cape Verde feet. no doubt was expressed
that II had returned 70 Cadiz az reported

government had no reason TO hope that
II would venture into these waters

This seemed TO Indicate q complete
change in the character OF the squadron
which. instead Of being a flying squadron
in the ordinary sense. has now assumed
the character Of battle feet. without
being as speedy as at first organized.
Commodore Schley's squadron is now
probably able to meet, on even terms, at
least, the formidable Spanish armored
cruisers which sailed from Cape Verde
for an unknown destination. In view of
this action Of the department and par
tculariy II Schley should be reinforced
by soma torpedo vessels. It may be as
sumed that he IS about 70 start in pur-
suit Of the Spanish squadron
