Washington, April 1.-THE most in
teresting item of information that
came TO the navy department today,
was the reported arrival of the cruiser

of supreme satisfaction to navy Off

BALTIMORE AT YOKOHAMA.
Word reached the department today
of the arrival of the first class cruiser
Baltimore at Yokohama on her way to
Hong Kong to join the Chinese squad
ron. The Baltimore has aboard large
amount of ammunition and stores for
the Asiatic squadron which she trans
shipped at Honolulu.
1t was stated today that there is no
foundation for the report that Secre-
tary Alger would ask the president to
designate Lieutenant General Scho-
field, retired as a military adviser to
the president and secretary of war in
case of hostilities. General Schofield's
recent visits to the president and the
secretary, it is added. were simply for
the purpose of consulting with them

later, after the officials had parted,
Lieutenant General Schofield saw the
president for a moment. The presence
of these persons in the secretary's Office
led to the report that general confer
ence, having in view the formation of
plan for a joint naval and military
demonstration, was under considera-

authoritatively that so far as a pre-
arranged conference was concerned it
was confined entirely to the secretary

Washington. May 2O-The reported arrival OF
the Spanish Cape verd squadron at Santiago do
Cuba was not credited by the Navy Department
officials until late this afternoon. so much had
Its appearance at that port without the SEM
bance Of an encounter with the American feet
now in Cuban waters upset the calculations and
disappointed the hopes OF naval experts here.
The following bulletin was posted at the close Of
office hours:
The Department has information which Is be-
lieved TO be authentic that the Spanish squad
ron under Admiral Cervera is at Santiago dc
Cuba
though Admiral Sampson has been left free to
work out his own campaign plans in the West
indies, II was the judgment Of the Naval Ad-
vsory Board that after hearing Of the sighting
OF the Spanish cruisers off Curacao he had
moved a part OF his fleet south through the
Windward Passage as to intercept Admiral
Cervera should the latter try to reach either
Cienfuegos or Santiago.
While no official confirmation can be had Of
Key West dispatches indicating the presence Of
Admiral SIMPSONS warships off that station.
there are many reasons to believe that the
American commander is in reality several hun.
dred miles away from Santiago, and that
though the zone of naval operations has been
greatly narrowed by Admiral Cervera's bold
dash north there Is still no very imminent pros
pect Of an engagement between the opposing
fleets
Whether some single ship of the Spanish
squadron merely touched at Santiago whether
the Spanish Admiral carried his whole command
into the harbor is not definitely known here but
for reasons Of their own Navy Department off,
cials. though suspicious Of naval news Of any
sort originating in Madrid. are disposed to think
tonight that the Spanish forces have at last
come within short range Of the Cuban coast,
and possibly are prepared to risk the relief Of
Havana a single fight.

IN consultation concerning the troops which are

hand Up to this time II has been decided 10
rive him the greater portion OF the 14th In
fantry now on the Pacific Coast; the entire 18th
and 23d regiments OF infantry, two batteries
from the Sd Artillery and four troops of cav
airy The remainder Of the expedition will be
male up Of volunteers The Department to-
day gave orders sending the battalion OF in
fantry from North Dakota to San Francisco TO
to!n the expedition.
1t is the expectation OF the Quartermaster's 8
Department TO send TO the Philippines a part
Of the forty thousand hammocks TO be pur-
chased. and which are regarded as essential TO
the comfort OF the soldiers In tropical climes.
General Greedy has suggested and the Presi-
dent has nominated half dozen officers for
places IN the Signal Corps party which VIII ac-
company the expedition under General Merritt.
For the rank and file Of the corps recruiting will
be resorted to In the Pacific Coast States.
Advices received at the War Department to-
day indicate that by tomorrow night the City
Of Peking. which is to carry troops and supplies
10 Manila. will have started from San Fran
cisco. over one thousand men will be aboard
City Of Sydney and Australia, which, the De-
partment was advised to-day. would be turned
over tomorrow ready for loading. This work.
II is hoped can be accomplished in few days,
20 that the second reinforcement for Admiral
Dewey Will be close In the wake OF the first.
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn to-day char
tered another vessel to be used for transport
purposes across the Pacific. This Is the Zea-
landia, Of the Ocean Steamship Company. which
can carry eight hundred men. She Is 3II feet
long, 81 feet beam and 2,6O0 tons burden. The
Zealanda is now sailing under a foreign flag.

Congress with a view 10 legislation that will
give her an American register.
DISCUSSED BY THE CABINET
The expedition to the Philippines was dis
cussed at the Cabinet meeting to-day.
The population OF the islands. the
fighting force Of the spaniards and the
geographical phases Of the occupation Of the
islands were considered Statements to the
troops which General Merritt's forces will have
10 cope with were submitted. They ranged from
5000 to 10000 Spanish soldiers, but the con-
clusion reached was that the number could be
considered as about 10000 men. The force al
ready selected to go with General Merritt was
believed to be more than adequate to cope with
these troops. who were thought to be in poor
condition as 20 discipline and equipment. If the
number was found greater, the Administration
would send many men as necessary to rein
force those about to start with General Merritt.

The return Of the cruiser naturally occasioned
a good deal OF comment at Vallejo. and ridicu-
lous rurnors were circulated s TO the cause OF
her having to put back. They We're however,

AT the time the defects were discovered their

THE ARGONAUTA'S SECRET CARGO.
RIFLES AND AMMUNITION FOUND ABOARD
HER-THE COURT AND THE OTHER
PRIZES OE WAR.

Key West. Fla May 20 (SpeciaD This was
the day set FOR the hearing OF the Of the
prize steamer Argonauta, which was captured
by the Nashville three weeks ago The owners
OF the vessel failed to put in claim and the
case was sent by the Prize Commissioners TO
Judge Locke, OF the United States District
Court. with the recommendation that the
steamer be condemned and sold for the benefit
OF her captors. During the hearing It appeared
that yesterday United States Marshal Hoar,
while making an examination Of the vessel. dis
covered a secret room, the door Of which was
ceverly concealed by n pile Of freight. On
breaking in the door the Marshal found fifty
cases Of ammunition and several boxes contain
Ing Mauser rifles. which were consigned TO
Havana firm. evidently for the OF the Span
ish Army.
At the time OF the capture OF the Argonauta
1t was believed that she was carrying munitions
Of war. but no confirmation OF this belief was
obtainabe until Marshal Hoar discovered the
rifles and cartridges yesterday. II was un
doubtedly the knowledge OF this shipment which
led the Argonautas owners to file no claim for
the redemption Of the vessel No claims were
filed in the case Of the steamer Bolivar and the
schooners Candta Mathilde and Sophia and
they. too. were handed to Judge Locke for con-
demnation.
Claims have been filed In the cases OF the
steamers Buena Ventura. the first prize OF the
war; the Pedro Catarna, the Miguel Jover, the
Panama and the Guido. These vessels are
represented by counsel. and stubborn fights will
probably be made to obtain the release OF the
captured boats and their cargoes. All OF these
vessels, with the possible exception OF the
Buena Ventura and the Miguel Jover. are re-
garded as good prizes. and h. X. Jones OF New
York the special counsel for the Government.

II am Informed that the apparently superflu-

by a desire to counterbalance the effects Of her
sympathy with Spain abroad. and particularly
IN the United States. where thousands Of Aus

ton Of neutrality constitutes c.nsure on the
