Uncle Sam In Dead Earnest that spain's
Phantom Fleet shall Materiaiize some
where Were IL Shall Have Something
Else to do Resides Run The American
Squadron VIII be Fully Equipped

WASHINGTON, July l.--lf not the
prey of Rear-Admiral Dewey's men-of-
war, Admiral Camara's fleet will be the
victim of the eastern squadron, under
the command of Commodore Watson.
1t was said yesterday on excellent au-
thority that the mission of the east
ern squadron has but slight refer
ence to the bombardment of the coast
of Spain. Its primary duty will be to
follow Admiral Camara and to destroy
his command, provided he shall not
have already met his fate at the hands
of the Asiatic squadron.
The task which is before Commodore
Watson is not to be lightly entered
upon. The navy department, at the
instance of the naval war board, is
making all preparations to provide the
fleet with an ample supply of coal and
with fresh meats and vegetables and
ice.
1t is for service with the eastern
squadron that the Port Chalmers was
purchased yesterday, n instructions
have been given to expedite her con-
version into a naval auxiliary cruiser
with all possible dispatch. She will
take on board 10000 pounds Of fresh
meats, 300 900 pounds of fresh vege-
tables, $50 tons of ice and ordinary sup
plies to last for four months.
These preparations necessarily take
time. and it may be that the squadron
will not get away until the latter part
of next week. None of the Golfers has
vet. reached Norfolk, where they are to
coal and receive their batteries. But
the necessity of ~overtaking Camara )
force. if possible, is SO pressing that
the authorities are anxious to dispatch
the entire squadron after him as
promptly as possible.
The distance from Port Said to Man
liza is 6,i0O miles, while Commodore
Watson will have more than 1900
miles to cover.
After his "arrival. in the Philippines,
il is not believed that Camara will i'm
mediately attempt to give battle to Ad'
miral Dewey. He will proceed either
to Iloilo or some other point not in the
hands of the Americans, to coal. and
there make preparations for his future
operations.
On account Of the slow speed of the
monitors and the ineffectiveness OF thu
or Users against the armor Of the re
layo and the Carlos ", Rear-Admira
Dewey will be compelled to remain IL
