SHANGHAI, February 3.-The Chi
ma Gazette says the British Indian,
Australian and Pacific squadrons have
been ordered to be ready to reinforce
the fleet in the Far East, thus giving
the British Admiral feet capable OF
coping with "any combination oppos-
ing British policy"
In the meantime, adds the China Ga
zette, the British claims i'm the Yang
tse-kiang will be supported by very
strong squadron stationed at Chusan,
to which place two other war ships
are en- route. In the event of Russia
hosting her flag over the forts at
Port Arthur the British Admiral has
been ordered to raise the British flag
over Chusan and the Japanese will as
cend the Iangtse-Kiang as soon as the
river rises.
About 900 Russian artillery and
cavalry and quantities of stores and
munitions have arrived at Kirin, the

THE MOBILIZATION,
OCCUPATION OF HAWAII.
A Necessary Base for Operations in
 the Philippines.

Associated Press Night Report.]
 Chicago, May 19.-A special to the Journal from Washin gton says: It is probable that American troops will soon be occupying Hawaii. President Mckinley agrees with all callers that a temporary occupation of the Philip pines is out of the question: Whether we desire it or not, we will be com pelled to retain the islands for a long time, if not permanently.
 More troops than have now been de- clded on will have to be sent to Ma n1la in the course of several months. This contingency has appealed to the administration with such force that the advisability of making Hawaii a base for army and naval operations has been discussed. It is not known what time the American commander in the Philippines might need addi- tional men.
 The distance between San Francisco and Manila might endanger American prestige and many lives. To offset this possibility it Is proposed to send

sTORMING OF SANTIAGO.
The Report of the Bombardment Un-
 officially Believed to Be True.

Associated Press Night Report.]
 Chicago, May 19.-A special to the Daily News from Washington says: Although nothing official is given out at the navy department, an opinion is cautiously expressed that the re- ported bombardment of Santiago de Cuba is probably true. A large num- Der of American vessels are there and one of the special missions to which they have been assigned is the cut ting of the cable from that port.
 There are three cables at Santiago de Cuba, two running to Jamaica and one to Hayti. They are British prop erty, but they either have been or will be out to prevent General Blanco from communicating with Madrid or any other outside point. The outlook for a naval battle within twenty-four hours is not considered promising.

A KEY WEST STORY.
That the Spanish Squadron Stole Into
 Havana.

Associated Press Night Report.]
 Key West, Els, May 19.-Some of the smaller ships which returned from various points on the blockade line today brought no news. They con- firm the statement from the Associated Press dispatch boat Wanda that all is quiet along the coast. Although some of the small ships cruised slowly along the Cuban shore there was no sign of hostilities toward them.
 There was a rumor circulated about town today that the Spanish squadron stole unmolested into Havana last night. It originated in a manner pe- culiar to Key West stories, and not shadow of confirmation of the report could be obtained here. The report Of the bombardment of Santiago de Cuba is discredited here.

 yard Out Into Danger.

Associated Press Night Report1
 Washington, May 1s.-The naval au- thorities arc relieved of great deal of embarrassment by the consent of the French authorities at Martinique to allow the scouting vessel Harvard to remain in St Pierre until her re- pairs are completed. It was sup posed that she would be allowed only seven days, and at the end of that time would be forced out to risk at tack at the hands of some ambushed Spanish cruiser or torpedo boat.
 Work on the three monitors Maho- pac, Cannonicus and Manhattan, at League Island, had advanced so far that the department expected to have them in service within a week or two. They have been supplied with dubious boilers in place of the rusted.out boilers they have carried since the war. These monitors. will be a val uable addition to the coast defense ships.
 MT. Niblock, late United States navy attache to Berlin and Rome, reported at the navy department to- day and had some amusing stories to tell of his experiences in every sea- port of Europe, trying to buy a ready made navy in thirty days. He has been assigned to duty as watch and division officer on the Topeka, one of the ships he helped to purchase in England.
 The absence of official news of any character from the fleets atrthe navy department today gave the widest field for speculation, and all sorts of stories were afloat as to the where abouts of the vessels and the immi- hence of an engagement The report that came from Madrid of the bom- bardment of Santiago de Cuba was re- ceived with some credence, inasmuch as it seemed to show that General Greeley, the chief signal officer, has set in motion the machinery of the navy to carry out his desired purpose of cutting the cables that afford the last connection between Havana and the outside world and thus isolate Blanco.

FRENCH TREACHERY.
Held Back Dispatches and Caused
 Sampson an Unwise Move.

Washington. May 15.-(Special cor Bespondence Of The Republican.)- The news of the appearance of the Spanish fleet of Martinique over whelmed the navy officials here with chagrin- The navy strategy board came in for sharp criticism There was a talk of treachery on the part of the French cable company in with holding dispatches for twenty-four hours, which would have enabled Sampson to have shaped his move ments much more wisely than he did at first, and threats were made of withdrawing the concession which gives the Frenchs cable a shore end in the United States. But this of course was mere brutum fulmen put out to allay the general feeling of mprtdfcatiou.
 The f1gst reports, which falsely rep resented the forts at San Juan re- duced by Sampson's bombardment and the city itself capitulated, were sue ceeded by a feeling of regret and dis appointment when it became known that Sampson had expended half his ammunition without practical results, with the Spanish feet not 400 miles away. After Dewey's splendid and de cisive victory at Manila, people here had been keyed up to expect an equal 1y favorable result at Porto Rico, and the drop was a heavy one Keen anx- iety for the safety of our own compar- atively feeble blockading squadron, emasculated by the withdrawal of Sampson's powerful ships, took the place of exultant anticipation of vic- tory. The revulsion of feeling was al- most equal to that experienced at the beginning of our own war;
 The rapidity with which the Span ish fleet disappeared with as startling suddenness as it had emerged from Obscurity added to the official per p1exities, and paraIyzed for the time not only the projected invasion of Cuba but also the immediate shipment of troops to the Philippines. Every thing was subordinated to the press ing necessity of meeting and destroy ing the Spanish feet
