Cabinet Kept In Ignorance.

Washington, May PA significant
feature of the cabinet session was the
absence of any discussion of the mill
tary and naval movements as to Cuba
or the Spanish fleet. This was one re-
suit of the policy which had been agreed
on between the members of the presi-
dents cabinet, and, aside from Sec
rotary Alger and Secretary Long, very
little is known by the cabinet as to
what is going on in the sea south Of us.

Commodore Schley was instructed to

intensely anxious and vexatious day at
Key West known since the war began.
Everything indicates the proximity of a
big naval battle, but with an unseen
foe, who may appear at any one of the
several points and possibly strike a
blow and get away before force can
be massed to crush them. Daybreak
found Commodore Schley's squadron,
which sailed from Hampton Roads on
Friday, anchored off Sand Key light
house, six miles below Key West. They
had joined Captain Sigsbee's big grey
hound, st. Paul, which leaving the
Roads a day later than they had, beat
them here almost day and half. Ad-
miral SIMPSONS feet arrived here at 5
p. m. This contirmed,thc forecast made
in these dispatches on Sunday last as to
the whereabouts and intentions of these
two fleets. All this was interesting, but
not word was allowed past the censor's
Office. Every officer ashore was on the
alert for orders to hurry aboard his
ship. Men of the Bancroft. Castine,
Helena and Wilmington received ''hur-
~ orders about $3.50.
Where the small boats went is still
Il mystery, all being too slow to act as
scouts in hunt for the Spanish feet
and not strong enough to do more than
help at Havana.
The most PLAUSIBLE theory advanced
to account for their quick departure
was that they were to form a second
line of scouts to the southwest, where
the Cincinnati and Vesuvius are sup.
posed to be watching the narrows of the
Yucatan channel.
1t may be candidly admitted that all
discussion of the Spanish fleet here is
speculative. The understanding here
is that Admiral Sampson counted con-
fidently on finding the Spanish squadron
bottled up in San Juan, as did Admiral
Dewey the Spaniards at Manila. 1t was
not until daylight of the morning of the
bombardment that he learned the har
Dor was empty.
In the meantime. according to the
best information here, feet of seven
Spanish ships, probably including the
Viscaya, Oquendo, Cristobal Colon,
Maria Theresa and three destroyers, has
been moving west along the southern
shore of the Caribbean sea. Later re-
ports from Mole st. Nicolas, Cape Hay
tien and other points make it seem
probable, that second section of the
squadron, probably including the Car
dinal Cisneros, Pelayo and Christina
Regenta, are following in the wake of
