Preparations For II Being Rushed May
Begin Very Soon.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The naval
officers regard their part in the opera
tlons at Santiago as at an end prac-
tically-and are looking around for new
worlds TO conquer. Their eyes are turn
ed TO the east and they are rushing
preparations for the dispatch OF Com
modore Watson's eastern squadron.
This Is decidedly n more attractive
cruise. from naval point Of view. than
the demonstration proposed against
San Juan de Porto Rico. which is un-
derstood to be the next number on the
programme. but which the naval au-
thorlties believe will not amount to
much because OF the easy reduction OF
the defenses
Every ship in Watson's squadron has
been supplied with the very latest
charts, not only OF the coasts OF Spain
and the Mediterranean. but OF track
courses that will take them clear to the
Philippines In addition TO this, the
few officers assigned TO the vessels OF
this squadron, but not yet aboard have
received orders from the department to
go to their ships at once. Notice of the
departure Of some of the vessels. there

KEY WEST. July lathe British
sloop Wary. another would be blockade
runner, was captured on the 2d inst. by
the United States auxiliary cruiser st.

n prize crew. consisting Of Port Officer

The Wary Is a p ton vessel and was
loaded with provisions OF miscellane-
Gus character. including -four. rice.
cheese lard. potatoes and beer. The
Wary. under Captain Jeremiah Moss
and three men. all Jamaica negroes,
was bound from Kingston for Cape
Cruz. II was first suspected that her
British flag was n subterfuge 20 en-.
able her 10 pass the blockade, but later
II developed that her patent, dated
April 10, 1897 was bona fide and that
she was boldly attempting in the face
OF all risks. TO land her cargo for the
starving Spaniards in Cuba. Hei
charter was made out between Captain
Moss and Vessels Bros. and Won Gou-
tard of Kingston, Jamaica.
When sighted by the St Louis. the
slOop was becalmed. and Captain Moss
who was unfamiliar with the water
thereabouts was expecting n pilot &c
take him In. The St Louis sent four OF
five shots from her Founders but as
the sloop showed no indication Of sur
rendering the gig was lowered and halt
dozen men pulled toward her. pepper
ing her sails with shot from their small
arms
Captain Moss afterward said he
thought all this was done in sport. but
when he found himself n prisoner OF
war he became badly frightened and
spent the whole time between capture
and arrival here in praying and weep
ing.
Another schooner, the Wickerson, was
captured by one of the converted yachts
az about the same place two days be-
fore the Wary was taken She was
owned by two German merchants. who
we're aboard and who protested so Wig.
orousy that the prize was taken ovei
to Santiago for a formal repott to Ad-
miral Sampson. She was bound from
Jamaica TO Manzanillo.
The prize crew Of the Wary say thai
many ships are loading on the coast Of
Jamaica and getting careoes Of pro
visions safely into Cuba by southern
ports.
A torpedo boat from Santiago arrived
here yesterday. bringing one Of the
Spanish torpedoes that were picked VI
in Guantanamo bay unexploded. The
missile will probably be sent TO Wash
ington as a trophy Of war.

THREATENING MOVE BY RUSSIA
Ten Thousand Troops to BE at Once Sent
to China.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Odessa cores
pendent of the Times says volunteer
fleet will convey in the quickest time
practicable over 10000 Russian troops
to the far east. The first cruiser, with
1000 men, will leave within few
days. The Daily Mail says it learns
from a source "hitherto accurate" that
China is inclined to make the best pos
sible bargain with Russia, whose di-
plomacy appears to have triumphed at
Peking, England having resolved to
force conflict by further opposing
Russia's claims at Port Arthur and in
the Liao-Tung peninsula. Japan,
says the Daily Nails authority, ''has
been thrown into state of consterna-
ton by the British backdown and has
accepted more friendly attitude
toward Russia" This statement, how
ever, the Daily Mail admits is ''incred-
ible and probably bluff, with a view
of forcing England to take decided
steps" The Daily Mail counsels its
readers not to be alarmed.
PEKIN, Feb. lit is supposed that
Great Britain's withdrawal from Port
Arthur and ceasing to exert pressure
for the opening of Port Talien Wan, is
owing to the disbelief in the existence
of secret treaty between Russia and
China. The Chinese government
however, quotes this treaty as the rea-
son for Russia's presence at Port Ar
thur and Russia's dispatches to the
Chinese foreign department allege the
occupation of Port Arthur is in accord
ance with the treaty.
LONDON, Feb. IA dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Nagaski says: "The
far eastern situation is very serious,
and it is believed that Japan is active
ly preparing for war;"
