Washington, May Is. - A complete
change has taken place in the offensive
plans of our government. The re-
ceipt of the news from Sampson of his
attack on the forts ut San Juan and
the news Of the actual presence Of
the flying squadron Off Martinique,
only 500 miles away from Sampson
and less than 1000 miles from Ha-
vana, caused the dispatch Of the fly
ing squadron under Commodore
Schley and the delay Of the army in
vasion Of Cuba. 1t is to the navy that
the government again looks for a
battle that may end this conflict. The
news of the Spanish fleet revealed at
once the possibility of a quick move
on the part of the Spanish feet that
would cut the line of communication
by water between Cuba and Key
West, exposing to great peril any
American landing force that might be
caught between a superior Spanish
army in Cuba and the spot patrolled
by Spanish cruisers. It became neces-
sary. therefore, to defer the departure
Of the military expedition from Flori-
da until the Spanish fleet is met and
crushed or driven from West Indian
waters. Orders flew quickly and fast
from both the war and navy depart
ments. The first checked the move
ment on Florida setting in from all
parts of the country and diverted the
troops toward the concentration camp
at Chickamauga. The navy depart
ment wired Sampson information OF
the
Approaches Il Spanish Fleet
and directions what to do, and another
order flashed to Schley, who has been
eating out his heart at Hampton
Roads in his eagerness to get into the
fray, to start with his vessels at the
earliest possible moment. The com-
modore took no chance of cancelia-
ton of these highly desirable orders,
but at 3:45 o'clock had put himself
beyond the reach Of any Geographic
recall. What is expected of him can
not be disclosed at the navy depart
ment and naturally is purely a mat
ter of conjecture. SIMPSONS fleet is
strong enough unaided to overcome
the Spanish flying squooron ii he can
ever catch it out Of the reach Of forti-
fcations. His fleet, however, is lack
ing in speed as compared to the
Spanish vessels, and cooperation on
the part of our flying squadron would
add very mush to the chance of cor
nering the Spaniards and forcing the
fight which is believed to be necessary
to the success of the Cuban campaign
as now planned. Some suggested at
the navy department. that the Spanish
fleet when last heard from was at q
point not very much more distant from
the great cities of the Atlantic seaport
than from Havana, but if the Spanish
admiral contemplates a movement In
the former direction he probably will
run full into Schley, who will have
his scouts Well out in advance when
he moves southwark.

vessels of the flying squadron, led by
Newport News, Va, May 15.-Five
the flagship Brooklyn, steamed out of
Hampton Roads yesterday afternoon,
and after passing the Virginia cape,
took 4 southerly course going, it is
said to Augment Admiral SIMPSONS
fleet now in the vicinity Of Puerto
Rico. The order directing the squad
ron to put to sea came at midnight.
A few minutes later the signal ''be
ready to put to sea at daybreak'' was
flashed from the flagship. Back from
the men-of-war came the answer. In
a jiffy the men were summoned to the
decks and the work Of making the
ship ready to sail commenced. Sup
pressed excitement, mingled with de-
light, prevailed. The little steam
launches were hoisted aboard and
decks cleared. Then the men waited
for the signal to "weigh anchor" Day
broke, but the signal was not hoisted.
The day wore on toward noon, and
until the sailing flag was seen small
craft ran to and fro carrying dis
patches. Excitement gave way to i'm
patience, for the men had been lying
off Old Point for the last six weeks
waiting for orders to go to sea, and
they were afraid they were to be dis
appointed. But not so. At o'clock a
signal ordering the Battleships Massa-
chusetts, the Texas, the dispatch boat
Scorpion and collier Sterling to weigh
anchor was run up to the top of the
Brooklyn's military mast. Thirty min
utes later smoke was curling from the
ships and they were blowing the sea
at rate Of fifteen knots.
Will Join Sampson.
The fleet will join Admiral Samp-
sons squadron. This statement came
from a reliable source. The cruisers
Minneapolis and New Orleans We're
left behind, as was also the auxiliary
cruiser st. Paul, which is still anch-
ored in the harbor here taking on a
supply Of ammunition. At o'clock
last night the Minneapolis hauled up
her anchors and steamed out at full
speed to ovartake the squadron. 1t
had been reported that the st. Paul,
Capt Sigsbee commanding, and the
New Orleans would leave before day
break to-day, but late last night Capt.
Sigsbee received orders to proceed at
midnight. She Joined the New Or
leans at Ole Point Comfort, and both
vessels then put to sea. THEY are ex,
pected to overtake Commodore Schley
some time to-day or early tomorrow.
The fact that the Sterling, laden with
1000 tons of coal, accompanied the
fleet indicates that a long sail is con,
templated. The arrival Of the flying
squadron will greatly strengthen Ad-
miral SIMPSONS feet. There is anoth'
err report in circulation here that a
flotilla of Spanish torpedo boats has
been sighted cruising along the At
lantic coast and that the flying squad
ron has been ordered to intercept the
fleet and sink the boats, but an officer
from the st. Paul says no credence
should be placed in the rumor. Com
modore Schley left under sealed Or
