large chested sons of pioneers. They are brave and brawny enough to fight their way in any land where the cause of America needs defenders. The re- veille sounded while the morning was yet young, and before the gray of twilight became the purple of sunrise Without delay the soldiers arose and prepared to break camp. Haversacks and blankets were put together and it was but short time before the body of troops was ready to march tp the point of authorization as their California comrades had done the day before.
 All along the line of march there was such enthusiasm as moved the vast throngs to cheer with unabated vigor. When the procession had gone as fGr as Second street there was a chorus of steam whistles that almost drowned the trampling of soldiers and the music of bands, though the inspiration of fife and drum kept time along the weary march.

 The administration has had no relia- ble. information regarding the future movements of the Cadiz fleet, but there have been development within the past forty-eight hours which seem to point to the concentration of Spain's ener- gies in an effort to retake the Philip pine Islands rather than to preserve Cuba to the Spanish crown. The out come of the war with the United States can hardly be in doubt in Madrid, and the loss of Cuba must have been .reckoned upon. Experienced diplomats

As for myself I have only to say that no officer is fit to command troops who from any motive whatever would need lessly risk the life of a single soldier, either from disease or the bullets of the enemy. have never sacrificed the lives of men under my command, and I do not propose to subject them to any unnecessary risks in the present cam paign."
 Of hardly less interest to-day than the probable operations of Sampson's fleet was the redoubled viPor exhibited by the War Department in hastening preparations for the Philippine expedi tion. The dispatch received from Ad- miral Dewey dated Cavite. May 20 via Hongkong, May 24. describing the scar-,

here, who are watching the proceedings with close attention, believe that Spain hopes to recover the Philippine Islands in order that they may not be in the actual possession of the United States when peace is declared, as in that event it is feared this Government would de- eide to hold them permanently.
 Rumors have been current that the President has decided on the perma nent retention of the Philippines, but careful inquiry fails to develop any basis for these reports further than the serfli-ofIicial statements made from time to time by members of the Cabinet to the effect that this Government would undoubtedl- hold the islands as a guar antee of the payment of what war in demnity might be demanded of Spain.:

so many vessels nor were they capable of such high speed as the squadrons of Sampson and Schley. The American commanders have the additional advantage of cable communication, which enables the Board of Strategy to advise the senior admiral almost daily of the latest re- ports concerning the where abouts of the enemy.
 While 1t is conceded that the supe- rior speed of Cerveras squadron would enable him to run from the American vessels, the impression Is gaining strength that he does not intend to that sooner, or later he will fall into Sampson's hands.
 The problem of securing coal Is be- lieved to be daily growing more critical with the Spanish admiral, for, owing to the closing of foreign ports, he is now dependent upon colliers. Under the laws of nations he cannot for pe- riod of three months again secure even the smallest quantity of coal at a port at which any of his ships have taken on fuel since the beginning of hostili- ties.
 Pending news of Sampson's opera tions the invasion of Cuba will be post poned, although it does not follow that 1t will be put off until the Spanish fleet has been destroyed. General Miles, who will have the active direction of the landing of troops in Cuba and the military operations in the island, made a brief, emphatic statement to-day of his position with a view to setting at rest the rumors current to the effect that he was personally opposed to the campaign.
 With regard to the invasion of Cuba" he said, 'I have nothing to say, except that the United States will in due time bring Cuba under it's control by judicious methods and without use- less waste of life. The United States is too great, too strong and too powerful to commit any foolish act in connec-

This has been a day Of eX- citing rumors. Sensational reports of a battle in the Windward Passage in which Admiral Sampson is said to have sunk the entire Spanish squadron have reached Wash ington from Madrid, from Lon don and from Port au Prince by the way of New York, but up to a late hour tonight no official confirmation of the engagement could be secured in any quarter, and Secretary Long, when seen just before midnight, reiterated the state ment made in official bulletin posted just before the Navy Department closed to the ef- feet that no information had beenreceived indicating "that an action had occurred in the Windward Passage. ,
 Early in the day the de- partments were inclined to treat the reports of an engage ment quite seriously, espe- cially when the State Depart ment received a cablegram from the Consul-General at London describing the press reports current there, It was argued that this dispatch in dicated that the news from the West Indies was given general credence in London.
 Later, the officials of the Bureau of Navigation held a conference with the local telegraph managers, after which itWas stated that news of an engagement in or near the WindWard Passage would be much more likely to reach the United States direct from Mole St. Nicholas, Hayti, than by the more circuitous route via Europe.
 It was pointed out that it would not be more than a three or four hours run from the scene of the battle to Mole St. Nicholas and that either the press dispatch boats or one of Captain Samp- sons swift vessels, detailed for the purpose, would promptly convey to the near est cable station the first news, either of a victory or a defeat.
 From this time forth until definite news is re- Ceived the administra- tion will be in almost momentary expectation of a report of a decisive battle, the issue Of which is not doubted in official circles here.
