Chicago, May 16.--A special from
Washington says:
1t Is believed to be the plan of Ad.
miral Cervera to keep out of the way
of the battleships and turn his entire
attention to the cruisers and gunboats
This he can perhaps do by reason OF
his superior speed. Coast cities may be
attacked in pursuance of this plan.
New York, May 16.--The Evening
Posts Key West special says:
The blockaders on the south coast OF
Cuba have been warned that the Span
ish squadron is reported OFF Venezuela
bound northward. and to double their
vigilance.
Powerful vessels. which 1t is not
necessary to name, will be ready to aid
the ships stationed there in resisting
the progress Of the enemy. and there
is small chance that the Spanish will
be able to enter Cienfuegos. a fortified
port desirable to them on account OF
the large coaling facilities and machine
shops.
Both our squadrons are informed
about the course q ! the Spanish hotilla.

WASHINGTON DISBELIEvBS
SPANIARDS.
Washington, May 16.-The navy de-
partment takes with great allowance
the report that the Spanish strategists
have succeeded in sending second
squadron under Admiral Villamil to
the West Indies and that 1t is or Mar
Unique.
Even IL the alleged Information did
not bear the suspicious ear mark of a
Madrid date, the department would not
be surprised to hear that Admiral
Villamil, as well as Admiral Cervera,
was with the Spanish force in the Car
ribean sea. The fact that the report
came from Madrid satisfies the officials
here that this is another Spanish ruse
to center our attention on Martinique
while their ships have passed west
ward. The report has 1t that Admiral
Villamil has with him the cruisers Cis-
nefos, Catalina and Princess.
de Asturias. II is known, however,
that Viliamil Is not the admiral of
these ships, and that at least one of
them the Cisneros. 10 on the other
side of the water. II Is added that
Admiral Villamil is subordinate to
Admiral Cervera whose particular
duties are to command the torpedo des-
troyers attached to the first Spanish
squadron. He occupies the same atti-
tude that Commodore Watson does to
Admiral Sampson.
The fact that the alleged report of
the second squadron passed Madrid
censor indicates the desire OF the Span
ish authorities to spread abroad this
MISLEADING Information. Its purpose,
II is believed. Is to induce Admiral
Sampson to remain with his fet at or
near Martinique in quest OF the shad-
owy second squadron, so as to take
him away from his pursuit OF Admiral
Cervera and the actual Spanish game
already in sight.
