Cabinet--JudSe Day is Tired of Public
Life and May Retire.
WASHINGTON. April 23.-The Post,
Saturday, will say: There is every
reason to believe that Secretary Sher-

1t is felt by the friends of the secre-
tary that the present crisis is too
severe a tax upon his failing strength,
and for this reason he will re-
tire to private life. His successor will
be Assistant Secretary Day, in all
probability, but it can be stated that
Judge Day has no desire to remain in
public life 1t is the presidents nat
ural desire to promote Judge Day to
the position which Mr.. Sherman will
vacate, but if he persists in his desire
to leave official life, there will be a re-
organization of the department to the
extent of new secretary and now

graveSt import and creative of history.
What words, of course, no one ashore
knew but the few who watched with
straining eyes from sea and docks,
needed no interpreter to tell that it
meant hostile action.
The message was not long in deliv-
cry. but sunrise had fully come as the
last letter hickered and went out.
Then the witnesses saw that the move
ment had actually begun under cover
of the night. The big ships could still
be discerned in the distance, but the
others had moved toward them, the
flagship drawing other ships of the
squadron to her.
The Wilmington and Amphitrite
had slipped from their anchorage and
advanced within hailing distance of
the flagship. 1t was just 5:42 when the
New York, without unnecessary dis
play, moved pOmpously and slowly to-
ward the outer waters of the gulf.
TO those ashore it looked as if the
New York was somewhat in advance
of the line, with the Iowa and Indiana
following on either side, but separated
from her by a good stretch of water.
AS the line advanced toward the hori-
zon the ships spread out until perhaps
there was n distance of three miles be-
tween the tips of the crescent. The
ships of the inner harbor had slipped
out one b. one and stopped at vari-
Gus stations until the entire forma-
ton was ready to move. The exact
order of the ships could not be as
certained from the shore, From the
highest point in Key West the line was
scmi-circular. The ships that fol-
lowed the three leaders were the
cruisers Cincinnati, Detroit, Nash
vile, the gunboats Wilmington, Cas-
tine, Machias, Newport monitors
Amphitrite, the Mangrove, Mayfower
and torpedo boat Foote Why the
powerful monitors Puritan and Terror
did not accompany the feet could not
officially be learned but it is said they
may follow shortly. The Marblehead
is taking on water and will doubtless
join the squadron in d dav or two.
