Washington Dec. 27-The energy with which
the Navy Department is Strengthening Its forces
In the Pacific Ocean was further empha-
sized to-day by its decision to send four
hundred enlisted quickly as pos
sbe across the continent TO San Fran
cisco. to be taken by the next mail steamer
to Hong Kong This action taken in re-
sponse 20 a requisition from Admiral Dewey to
send him men to take charge OF the captured
cruisers Don Juan de Austria. Isa de Cuba ana
Isla de Luzon. the two latter vessels being now
In drydock at Hong Kong, while the first Is be-
Ing repaired at Cavte. In the battle of Manila.
when these vessels were sunk. their Spanish
crews aggregated SO! officers and men, their
compliments being distributed follows: Don
Juan de Austria, 2S officers. 179 men; Isla de
Cuba and Isla de LuZon. each 81 officers and lo6
men, 1t is believed by Admiral Dewey that ne
can reduce these crews by nearly one-half with
out destroying the efficiency OF the vessels for
the purposes Of cruising and guard duty in the
Philippine group
The personnel resources OF the Navy will be
severely taxed In sending these men to the Pa
cifc just now. on account Of the statutory limi-
tations on the number of men allowed In the
service. The present peace establishment pro-
special temporary authority. the total naval
strength rose 10 nearly twenty-five thousand.
This figure Will be reduced this week to nineteen
thousard but below this It is considered unsafe
to CO. and an appeal will be made 10 Congress as
soon as IL reassembles to authorize the Depart
ment to retain in the service for full term Of
three wears all Of those men who enlisted for
the war. and who desire to remain for the longer
period. Several thousand applications from
these shorttime men have already been received
at the Navy Department. and confidence is ex-
pressed that difficulty will be encountered In
securing enough good men for the vessels which
must necessarily be kept in commission II Con-
Gress will give the requisite authority.
The naval authorities expect 20 hear OF the
arrival OF the Buffalo at Port Said tomorrow
with her four hundred men destined for Dewey's
ships. to take the places Of those whose terms
Of enlistment have long ago expired, and who
are anxious to come home TO re-enlis; the
Atlantic Coast after a brief holiday. The Buff
falo Is to be coaled at Port Said, and will not
stop again until she reaches Hong Kong early
next month Reports received from Norfolk in
dicate that the Yosemite which will follow the
Buffalo with four hundred sailors and one hun
dred marines. will get away within two weeks.
Most Of the marines will be landed at Guam to
hold that island until the Army arranges to sup
ply its garrison.

DANGEROUS SYMPTOMS DISAPPEARING -
PLANS OF REORGANIZATION.
London. Dec 2S-The Madrid correspondent OF
THE Daily Mail" says:
The dangerous symptoms OF Sehor Sagasta's
illness are passing away In the course OF con-
yersations with his intimate friends before the
maIady became serious he spoke bitterly OF the
anxiety which the peace negotiations and the
lack Of generosity on the part OF the Americans
had caused him.
Regarding the future. he said he thought
that in five years he could effect radical reforms
in all branches OF the Administration. His plan
would be TO divide the Ministry OF Fomento,
which includes the Departments OF Public
Works Agriculture Commerce and Education.
into two, and perhaps three. different ministries.
because the work of recognizing the country
would fall largely upon these departments

THE OUTLOOK FOR DON CARLOS

London Dec 2S-"The Morning Post" publishes
to-day a communication from a correspondent now
travelling in Spain who says
THE recent arrest at Leon Of Senior Granda'
td,,or OF IN Carlist newspaper "El Correo Es-
panol" is proof Of the panic which has seized
the authorities. Senior Granda was visiting the
district where ne was arrested for family reasons
and without the slightest idea OF stirring up revolu-
ton His Imprisonment is likely to do the Govern
ment more harm than good
The results OF my inquiries tend TO show that
the Spanish Republicans have some sympathy with
Don Carlos They would not fight for him, but
they certainly would not oppose him. On the
whole they would rather welcome any means OF
overt hroWing the present corrupt regime Still. II
Is useless for Don Carlos TO imagine that he can
