WHERE THEY WILL STRIKE.
spanish Fleet WIN hit at Some uneS.
pected Point.

pettcu Eotnt.
New York, April 2l.-A naval officer,
who is close to Admiral Bunoe, com.
mandant Of the Brooklyn maynard, said
last night:
ii believe the Spanish fleet will not
strike in Cuban waters, or even make a
demonstration on the Atlantic coast. IL
cannot cope with Captain Simpsons
four battleships and three monitors, |
believe the Spaniards will strike in an
unexpected quarter.
Mark my words, a squadron OF their
fine armored cruisers will 20 TO sea, and
the whole world will BE- kept speculat.
ing as TO its destination This squadron
will not be heard from for some time
IL will confront our Asiatic squadron,
which meanwhile has moved ON the
Philippines and seemingly swept every.
thing before il.
"The Vizcaya, Oquendo and Cardinal
Cisneros, or any three Of the eight heavy
Spanish cruisers, would be more than
match for our whole Asiatic squadron,
which consists Of the protected cruisers
Olympia, Baltimore, Raleigh, Boston
and the gunboats Concord and Petrol.
Only the failure of the Spaniards to
fight their ships, or the most supreme
valor and gunnery Of the American
squadron could save our cruisers from
disaster.

was a triie lame, and at least one OF the

taken altogether, the large and fashionable
audience had no Just ground for complaint,
and showed no disposition TO make any. or
else the hearty and frequent applause was
meaningless. A number of up-to-date hits
