JOHN SHERMAN
Says He Expects Gomez's Army to
Do Most of the Fighting in Cuba
for Some Time to Come.

Washington, April 24.-Secretary
Sherman said to-day that it was his ex-
pectation that for the present, and the
immediate future, the insurgent army
would do the greater part CT the fighting
in Cuba. He added the statement that
there was no intention of taking ne
militiamen and new recruits into Cuba
until thoroughly Injured to the hard
ships of actual military life, and that
probably the regulars also would be
held in this country until later in the
season. The Secretary expressed the
opinion that Admiral Sampsons fleet
would take the first opportunity TO
form a junction with Gomez's army.
and that there would thenceforth be
perfect cooperation between those two
organizations in conducting the war
against the common enemy.

Definite Information of Movements Rel
fused-Precautions Taken

Fort Monroe, Va, April 24.--tOn
Board Flagship Brooklyn)-For STRAIT
egic purposes. and for the protection of
information that might be OF value to
the enemy, Commodore Schley, of the
flying squadron, has established a
practical censorship over those in his
command relative to the divulging of
the reason of any movement made or
to be made by the squadron or In
dividual ships of the squadron. To
more fully carry out that plan of pro-
lection to government interests, only
commanding officers are made aware of
such movements, and the responsibility
is thus minimized.
1t is for these reasons that the actual
destination of the Minneapolis and Col
umbia is merely matter of newspaper
conjecture.
Sunday here passed very quietly
Tonight the precaution was begun
of putting out patrol feet of steam
cutters fully equipped to fight and to
give warning if an enemy approaches.
The work of Strengthening the
Notifications at Fort Monroe continued
all day with a large working force. as

up a regular formation, having drifted
some fifteen miles from MORO Castle
The general advance was made at half
speed. Captain Evans, not quite GER
tain of the position he was entitled to
take with the Iowa, caught up abreast
of the flagship and shouted through the
magaphone, How near may | go?"
Rear Admiral Sampson, who was
standing on the after bridge. replied:
"As near as you can without drawing
the fire of the batteries"
All right Captain Evans shouted
back in tones that expressed the keen
est disappointments. The Iowa then
went ahead.

In telling of the situation there, Capt
Stevens said: about the only trouble
that force invading Havana from the

be the Notifications east of the harbor.
These are very strong indeed, and are
mounted with heavy guns, all Krupps

We're slight demonstrations early this

they were dispersed by Governor
