RumOrs of Battles,
Special Dispatch to THE Sun.

Special Dispatch to THE Sun.
WASHINGTON, May 19.-Although there
are rumors at the Navy Department thai
Admiral Sampson had located the Span.
ish fleet and even reports that a battle
had occurred between the two, there is
no confirmation OF any of these at the
Departments this morning.
1t is pretty well understood that the
Naval Board is preparing to practically
divide the vessels now in Cuban waters
and in the Caribbean Sea into three
fleets, SO as to be ready for any move the
Spaniards may make. The monitors
will evidently watch Havana and per-
haps Cienfuegos, while the heavy battle.
ships will also be on guard, and the
cruisers and fast-going vessels will be
formed into flying squadron to discover
the Spanish fleet, ii it is not soon de-
stroyed by Admiral Sampson. One
thing is very evident, and that is that
the Navy Department is just as well sat
isiied at this time to have Admiral Ger
vera and his fleet remain away from
Havana and the neighborhood OF Key
West until after the invasion of Cuba is
complete.
II the fleet is cruising around on the
southern coast of Porto Rico, San Dc
mingo or even Jamaica, Admiral Sam
son, with his vessels, which are sup
posed to be guarding the Windward
Passage, can easily prevent the Span
iards making dash for Havana. At
any rate the War Department is making
every effort to be prepared to start the
expedition to Cuba, and as soon IL.
transports are ready the large force Of
troops will be conveyed across the Gull
of Mexico to Cuba and landed The De-
parIment is certain that before the e.,
pedton leaves the Spanish fleet will be
definitely located and hemmed in so that
there can be no danger from attack on
the transports.
The debate iii secret session in the
Senate yesterday in regard to the delay
in sending aid to Admiral Deway has
had an effect upon Fastening this exped
ton, and the War Department was busy
all morning rushing orders to San Frar-
cisco to get the troops started. The re-
suit is that the first portion of the eX-
pedition will start tomorrow under Gen
eral Otis, and the second, under General
Merritt, will leave as soon as possible.
expected in Washington to-
day, General Merritt did not put in an
appearance before noon.

that the Department is much better
satisfied with the general situation at
this time than it has ever been before,
and the policy Of observing the strictest
secrecy as to the movements OF vessels
is resulting 'advantageously. Both the
Department and Congress have finally
come to the rigid determination not
only that news shall not be given out by
officials, but that information, however
obtained, which might be Of assistance
to the enemy, shall not be published,
The feeling in Congress on the subject is
very strong, and if necessary some very
drastic measures will be adopted to en-
able the President to suppress publica-
tions of an injurious character and to
punish offenders. The bill which was
recommitted by the House yesterday
was very awkwardly drawn, and subject
to dangerously broad construction.
Therefore, Its rccommittal does not
signify antagonism to the general idea
of guarding official secrets OF military
C a"acter from publication.

Treaty With France.
,ecial Despatch to The sun.

SPECIAL DeEputcn 10 lHE sun.
WASHINGTON, May l9-The CONNER
cial agreement or reciprocity treaty be
tween the United States and France i.
nearly completed and ready for signing
The negotiations in regard to this agree
ment have been dragging along very
slowly, but within the last week or ten
days the French Ambassador has shown
great activity in the matter, and has HI d
numerN c)n ertntes with Mr. Kasson
who has charge of the treaty for the
State Department.
Owing to the alleged attitude OF France
in regard to the present war ;nd the ex-
preston of sympathy for Spain on the
part of some OF her citizens, the ex-
pedition OF this treaty is considered in
diplomatic circles to mean a desire on
the part of France to show her friend
ship for this nation, and desire tor
closer commercial relations. At any
rate, ii is thought that such an agree
ment would do mach to relieve the
seeming irritation between the two
nations.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-More than fifty
regiments OF the volunteer army either
have started for or reached the mobiliz-
ing points to which they were directed
to proceed by the Secretary of War. Fiji
teen or twenty other regiments have re-
ported their readiness to start for such
points. In order to avoid confusion at
the camps and any congestion in the
railroad traffic the War Department Off
cials are deferring giving orders for a
number of the volunteer regiments to
start.
The volunteers mustered to date nun =
ber $500 men. All the regiments
which were directed to 60 to San FraE-
cisco except those from North and South
Dakotah have LETT their local rendezvous

greater portion of the men composing
these organizations are destined for the

I st. Pierre, but the report is causing NJ
concern.
1t is not believed that the Spanish have
any intention to send the Cadiz fleet tt
make demonstration against our coast
The reports to that effect are thought to
be intended to divert attention to in
terfere with our operations in Cuba anC
Cuban waters.
For France to transfer coaling station
to Spain and permit her warshlps to take
coal there during period vf this wal
would be an act of hostility toward the
United States, which it is not believed
that France is now ready for. Moreover
if Spain could acquire a coaling station
at st. Pierre it would not be possible fol
her to hold it, as it would be Immediately y
captured by one of our fleet. Alto
gether, the demonstration by the Cadi;
| fleet against our eastern coast is regarded
as utterly impracticable and not at al
likely to be undertaken.
That Spain will endeavor to send re
lief to Manila is regarded as less improb
able, yet that would be forelorn hope
move, the problem for coaling fleet or
the way being extremely difficult, aside
from the fact that it would leave the
Spanish coast unprotected.
If the Cadiz fleet were sent to Manila
by way OF the Suez canal, taking coal in
transports, its progress would necessarily
be very slow, and some, if not all, the
reinforcements to be sent to Admiral
Dewey would be able to get there before
the Spanish fleet appeared.
Even with only the Charleston added
to Admiral Dewey's fleet and the fortifi.
cations at Cavite anC Corregidor Island
restored, equipped and manned by our
forces, the Spanish fleet would not find
it as easy to enter the harbor at Manila
as Admiral Dewey found it. The Span
ish, after having abandoned Cuba and
Porto Rico and lett the coast OF Spain
unprotected, would be confronted with
the danger Of losing the fleet sent to the
Pacific.
1t is believed that ii the Cadiz fleet is
prepared for service and it is felt safe
TO take it from Cadiz, it will try and
form junction with tie fleet now
lowering around on the Caribbean Sea,
ii that fleet is not destroyed before an
opportunity for junction is given.
1t is believed that ii the vessels of the
Cadiz fleet were fully equipped for SER
vice and could have been spared, some
of them would have been added to
Admiral Cervera's fleet before it ven-
lred to American waters. The Cervera
ii ,et is deficient in everything except
speed and the power of disappearing,
whereas if the Pelayo and one other OF
the Cadiz fleet were joined to it, it would
be strong enough to risk battle with
either the Sampson or the Schley fleet.

The Oregon Aggressive.

SFecldl DlsIatcli 10 lHE sun,
WASHINGTON, May l0.-It is quite ev'.
dent that the War Department has again
lost the Spanish fleet in the Caribbean,
yet meeting bet tween it and our fleet is
expected.
A theory is that the Spanish fleet is
endeavorlng to get into position where
it can nall back on San Juan without
danger OF being intercepted and that
Admiral Cervera will then attempt to
draw some OF our faster vessels into
running fight with the idea of sep
arating them from the more powerful
and slower vessels with the hope of do
ing damage to the fleet by fighting them
in detail.
There is no doubt that this Spanish
fleet is sparring for an opening and that
the ultimate object is to break the block
ade and get supplies to Blanco.
1t is the belief at the Department that
at the present time Admiral Cervera is
no better informed as to the movements
of our fleets than we are OF his, and the
officials are much gratified that we have
at least one fighting vessel the approxi-
mate whereabouts of which is unknown
to any one. The Oregon is evidently
expected by the Department to play
quite an important part in the man
oeuvres now going on in southern
waters. and she may be secretly joined
to squadron which wit hout her might
appear weak enough to tempt the Span
ish fleet to battle.
Absence OF information as to the
whereabouts of the Oregon is likely to
embarrass the Spanish Admiral in his
movements. and if he has no suspicion
whatever of her presence it may prove
disastrous to him.
