Washington. May .14.--Dcflnite ofzi-
cial Information reached the nuthori-
ties here late this afternoon thnt the
Spanish squadron has been sighted on
the island OF Curacao. one OF the
Dutch West indies. lying on the north
coast of Venezuela. This Information
was regarded as OF vital Importance,
rs II not only fixed the position OF the
enemy. but disclosed the purpose Of
the Spanish admiral to elude Admiral
Sampson's fleet and make his way
through the Caribbean. probably to
Cuba. The island OF Curncao was orig
inally Spanish, and IL peopled mainly
by descendants of SpaniardA though
It Is now one OF the Dutch possessions.
The Spnniuh admiral's course was also
Influenced by the fact that the French
cable, starting from Caracas. venezue-
In. touches Mt the island .of Curacao,
thence proceeds northwnrd through the
Caribbean to Hnyti. with spurs run
ming east and west to Porto Rico and
Cuba respectively. He is thus enabled
to get In touch from Curncno with the
Spanish authorities In Cuba and Porto
Rico. and through them directly with
the spanish Admiralty Mt Madrid.

Washington, d. c.. Afny 13.-Direct
orders were given Gcncrni Miles thiA
morning suspendins FOR the present
the movement OF the invading army
upon Cuba. General Miles has there
fore postponed his departure for the
South and II is announced authoritn-
lively by the War Department otti-
clnls thnt 1t cannot he stated with
dcfinitencss when General Miles will
leave.
The suspension of the movement of
the invading army upon Cuba was
Induced by the proximity OF the Span
ish Cape Verde squadron to Cuban
waters. II Is deemed by the depart
Inent TO be the part of wisdom not to
risk the landing of troops on Cuban
soil until the landing can he effected
under the protection of II stronger
fleet than Is now available for tho
purpose of more protection. The fact
that the army movement has been
postponed is In direct evidence that a
decisive naval battle Is expected to
occur within n few days. 1t is not
doubted that tile squadron under the
command Of Admiral Sampson will
seek an engagement with the Spanish
fleet nt once. and 1t is with the idea
OF awaiting the result of that conflict
TINT the orders for the movement OF
the land forces are held In allegiance

of admiration following the advent Of
the bride was succeeded by an embar-
RAISING silence. The minister Rev.

Reconcentrn los starving.

Key West, Fla. May 15.--The condi-
tions in Havana. resulting from the
blockade, are being generally brought
out by Information obtained from fish
ing smacks and other smull vessels
captured of the coast. .itf
Affairs At Havana now appear to be
worse than at any time since the Wey-
Ter regime. The fishermen who at first
bravcd the blockade for the high price
which fish brought in Havana now run
the risk not for money but for food. A
number Of these have been captured by
the vessels OF the blockading fleet,
nearly all of them being released after
having been questioned by our officers.
They all unite In picturing the state of
affairs at Havana as being pitiful In
the extreme. The reconcentradoes they
said are nearly all dead, or have been
expelled from the city to die in the
suburbs.
The Insurgents themselves have been
chary of receiving reconcentradoes,
and hundreds of the latter. who had
no personal friends in the insurgent
camps, had been left to starve between
the lines, which they did

The function to be performed by
squadron Mt Hampton Roads in the
naval campaign to be waged by Uncle
Gam against Spain as planned By the
strategic board OF the navy depart
ment at Washington is very impor-
tant one. The commodore has at his
command the cream Of Americas
fighting ships, says the Philadelphia
Times of May Z. With them he could
OF short notice strike blow at any
of Spain's Atlantic possessions which
would be paralyzing in its force. He
could as well concentrate his feet at
any point along the Atlantic coast that
might be Threatened by Spanish bonn
bardment and invasion. He could II
necessary hurry to the assistance OF
Admiral Sampson before Havana and
reinforce the blockading squadron be-
fore any attack sould be made upon It
by any considerable Spanish feet. He
in short. occupies with his ships the
central position in the Atlantic field
Of action and is bound to be called
upon to engage In the first battle Of
importance that ia fought here. On
him. therefore. the attention OF the
American people will be ceutered. His
action will Indicate more truly than
any other symptoms the approach of
crisis. ijlfl
In his present position he stands
really as the defender OF the Atlantic
coast line. His two scout ships. the
Minneapolis and the Columbia, have
been engaged OF New England in pat
rolling the course of the Paris. They
have not lost sight of their primal
duty in this particular assignment.
Had the Paris not been expected to ar
rive they would still have spent the
past week engaged in some such work.
They will continue in the next fort
night unless some more active duty
presents ON the same line and will
sound the warning to their fellows in
the Chesapeake Of the approach of any
Spanish force upon any portion of the
American coast. ~

In such an engagement Commodore
Schley would figure prominently. The

main batteries alone. while the Massa-

Even the Minneapolis and the Colum-
