FAILING TO FIND THE SQUADRON
SAMPSON MAY CAPTURE PORTO RICO
Reports Indicate That Several Spanish Cruisers Are Dodg
ing About In the West Indies

Washington, May Sit is now Of
f1cially admitted that Admiral Samp-
son was yesterday with his fleet near
Cape Haytien, on the north coast Of
Santo Domingo, and distant about a
days run from Porto Rico. Today no
reports have come to the department
and none of the lurid engagements
that are said to have taken place in
those waters, but it is said at the de-
partment that if there was gun firing
yesterday and the day before as re-
ported by merchant vessels, it was
probably caused by some of the
American vessels chasing either prizes
or the small Spanish gunboats that are
said to be cruising in those waters. 1t
is not believed that there has been any
engagement between Admiral Samp-
sons forces and the Spanish ironclad
flying squadron, else reports would
have been received already at the de-
partment.
The expectation is manifest at the
navy department that something i'm
portant is to happen soon. 1t is sur
missed that if Sampson does not strike
the Spanish flying squadron he may
strike blow at Porto Rico itself
1t is a curious fact that thus far the
navy department does not Know posi-
lively where The Spanish fleet is, and it
is just possible that the vessels may be
away over on the other side Of the
Atlantic or at Cadiz, instead of being
in SIMPSONS neighborhood in the West
Indies. That such a thing can happen
is plainly shown by the report from
ST. Thomas that the Spanish cruiser
Alfonso XIII arrived at Porto Rico yes
terday or the day before. This is a
formidable protected cruiser of modern
type, and it had been supposed all
along that she was at Cadiz, Spain,
forming part OF the home defense
squadron. The fact that she has ar
rived at Porto Rico without knowledge
of her departure having leaked out is
an evidence that the Spanish authori-
ties are able to guard the secrecy of
their naval movements much better
than our own people are able to do.
ACTION DELAYED.
There is the best authority for the
statement that today having passed
without report from Admiral Samp-
son. the navy department does not
expect to hear from him within several
days. The authority for this statement
is fully acquainted with Admiral Samp-
sons plans and the remark would seem
to indicate that the admiral having
failed to find the enemy at the place
expected had turned his attention to
the alternative project. What this is,
cannot be ascertained. It is evident,
however, that the department is under
no apprehension as to the safety of the
American fleet nor Of any vessel of the
fleet.

Washington. Nov. The majority of
annual renolts Of Indian agents to the

They are addicted to gambling, horse
