THE FLYING SQUADRON.
Mysterious Departure of the Minneapolis
and Columbia.

Fort Monroe, Va, April "a Con board
flagship Brooklyn).-Fo strategic pur-
poses and for the protection of inform
alton that might be of value to the en-
emy, Commodore Schley of the flying
squadron has established a practical
censorship over those in his command
relative to the divulging of the reason
for any movement made or to be made
by the squadron or individual ships of
the squadron. To more fully carry out
that plan of protection to government
interests, only commanding officers are
made aware of such movements and
the responsibility is thus minimized.
1t is for these reasons that the actual
destination of the Minneapolis and the
Columbia is merely a. matter of news
paper conjecture. The actual mission
of the big cruisers is not and will not
be made public, the navy department,
Commodore Schley and the command
ers of the vessels being the sole pos
SCISSORS Of information on the subject.
The conjectures as to the object for
1.,Ioiob Commodore Sch1ev ordered thepo
to sea last night are many. Protection
to the steamer Paris, assistance to the
battleship Oregon, capture of Spanish
gunboats and convoy for the transport
Panther, now at Hampton Roads, are
some of them. The latter theory is
partially discredited because the PAN
ther, with her human freight of nearly
eight hundred officers and marines, lies
in safety with the remaining ships of
the squadron off Fort Monroe and evi-
IDENTIFY in no hurry to move. AS a mat
ter of fact the Panther itself has some
protection, being pretty well armed
with eight rapid-fire guns, which could
be used effectively. All of the eight
hundred men on board of her are in ex-
| cellent condition, no patients occupying
| the sick berth.

NEUTRALTTY PRoCLAMATIoN.


Great Britain Preparing to Make One-ln
Line of Precedents.
London, April 24.-It is announced
that the Prince Of Wales held coun-
Gil yesterday at Marlborough House
on behalf of the queen for the purpose
of approving the draft of the neutral
ity proclamation. 1t is supposed that
the proclamation will be strictly in the
line of precedents, calling attention to
the British foreign enlistment act and
warning British subjects against block
ade breaking or aiding the belligerents
in any way.
The foreign office will send to the
treasury, the home, the colonial, the
war and the India offices the usual no.
tices prohibiting Spanish and American
ships the use of British harbors for
warlike purposes. The coaling ques-
tion will be met by provision that
belligerents will be supplied at British
ports with no more coal than is suffi-
cient to carry them to the nearest port
of their own country or some nearer
destination and no more coal will be
supplied to the same vessel within
three months except by special permis-
sion. Armed ships will be prohibited
from carrying prizes into British ports,
including those of the colonies.

1t Will Probably Take Place but Not I'M
mediateIy.
Washington, April 24--While there is
every reason to believe that Secretary
Sherman contemplates a retirement
from the cabinet at no very distant
date, the indications now are that the
change will not take place Immediately.
He declined to discuss the question to-
day indicating that there was more in
the newspapers concerning his inten-
tions than was justified by the facts.
There is no doubt, however, that the
president considers the secretary's re-
tirement among the probabilities. He
discussed the contingency with some
of his callers. to-day and 1t is under
stood that Senator Davis was asked
whether in case there should be a va
cancy in the secretaryship Of state
he would favoably consider an invita-
tion to fill it and he replied in the neg
ative. 1t is also understood that the
Minnesota senator's reason for taking
this position is the fact that he pre-
ferred his position in the senate and
considers himself reasonably sure of a.
reelection and decided to remain
where he is.

ADMIRAL SAMPSON HEpoRrs.
Dispatches to Long Telling of Capture of
Spanish Merchantmen.

Washington, April 24.-Secretary
Long has received from Admiral Samp-
son dispatches telling of the capture
of several Spanish merchantmen.
Judge Advocate General Lemy, the law
officer Of the navy department, has
been looking up the statutes on the

secretary in any way necessary. The
law provides that the condemnation

sells shall be conducted under the SUI
pervision of the district courts. 1t is
made the duty Of the commanding off,
Ger of the vessel making a capture to
secure the documents of the ship and
cargo and send them, together with GER
tain witnesses from the captured YES
sci, to the district court in which the
proceedings are to be held.
The attorney general of the United
States Is to promptly file libel against
the prize property and take other pro-
ceedings necessary. The evidence is TO
be taken by prize commissioners not
exceeding three in number, one OF
whom is to be a retired naval officer
and at least one of the others a member
of the bar of the court of not less than
three years standing and acquainted
with the taking of dispositions. If the
sale of the prize is authorized the gross
proceeds are to be deposited with the
assistant treasurer of the United States
nearest the place of sale. The net pro-
ceeds Of all property condemned as
prize shall, when the prize was of su-
perior or equal force to the vessel or
vessels making the capture, be decreed
to the captors. This provision was evil
IDENTIFY put in the law with view to en-
couraging vessels when meeting foe
to capture them if possible.

Further Information That 1t Was Termi-
mated Last Friday.


Kingston, Jamaica, April 24.-The
United States consul at Baracoa, Cuba,
A. T. TRAY, wife and child, two Span
ish merchants and twenty-five Cubans,
and Cuban-Americans, mostly women
and children from Guantamo debark-
ed from the Ely here to-day after a
twenty -four hour quarantine. When
the steamer left Guantamo on Friday
last Spanish mob, including many
soldiers, filled the public square and
adjacent streets yelling death to the
Yankees" Several American flags
were soiled, torn, trampled and treated
with elaborate unmentionable indigni-
ties. Some naturalized Americans were
compelled to take part in the insulting
work on the threat of death if they re-
fused.
Orders to the Spanish army declar-
ing the armistice ended were public
ly posted at Guantamo last Friday.
Two days previous the troops began
concentrating at the seacoast cities,
abandoning all the interior towns and
plantations, in many cases burning
them. The devastation of that part of
the island will be completed before the
Americans can reach them. Ordinari-
ly there are 1000 Spanish soldiers at
Guantamo. Now there are 1000 there.
New defences earthworks chiefly, are
under construction and the mounting
of field pieces is in progress. Two rap
id fire two-pounders, one rapid-fire
FOUNDER and four ancient models
have been received.

SAFETY OF THE PARIS.
Point of Vital Interest to Londoners is
Whether She Has ESCAPED.

London, April ga point of vital
interest for all Londoners is whether
the Paris has escaped the Spanish war;
ships. Up to midnight there was alb
solutely no news as to the liner at
Southampton. Spain's adherence to the
right of the pfivateering if expedient
has given great satisfaction in Spain,
where the public press markedly ap-
proves the attitude of the government.
In any case Spains attitude will en-
nance the Importance of the negotia-
tions of the powers which have been
initiated by Italy with a view to max
ing preparations to protect neutrals on
her coast.
