Terror at Hampton Roads.
"A telegram was received at the Navy De-
paftment this afternoon announcing the
ARRIVAL OF the monitor Terror at Hampton
Reads. 1t is said at the department that
nothing Is yet settled about the future
movements of this vessel, and she will re-
main in the roads until further orders It
Is expected she will shortly be joined by
the monitor Puritan, now fitting out at
Norfolk. These two vessels, which are re-
garded as the most formidable war crafts
OF the United States navy, will probably
be ordered before long either to New York
or to join Admiral Sicards fleet in the
vicinity Of Key West. In the event of hos
tiiities 1t is likely that one of them will be
retained in Hampton Roads to guard the
approaches to Washington, Baltimore and
Norfolk, and that the other will be sent TO
New York to assist in the protection of
that port
The cruiser Cincinnati reported her ar
rival today at Barbados. She has run over
from Para, Brazil, the reason assigned
for the trip being the desire of the de-
partment that she should take on coal
at an uninfected port. Barbados. it is said
in further explanation has always a large
supply Of excellent English navigation coal
at very moderate prices. News of the ar
rival OF the Castine at Barbados is ex-
pected at any moment, and the two ships
will probably remain cruising among the
smaller islands of the Caribbean sea until
the middle of March. when it Is the pres
ent intention to return them to the Bra
lillian coast probably to Isia Grande.

legation. came to Washington yesterday
and conferred with Senior du Bose. Any
misunderstanding which has occurred as
to his official status is due to the fact that
the official notification of the termination
OF his service has not come to him from
the naval chiefs under whom he serves.
The decree was formally gazetted, how
ever. and during Captain SobraPs visit
here he received orders from Marid to re-
port there at once. He will therefore take
the first steamer for Spain. His departure
apparently disposes of the incident with
which his name has been connected
At the Spanish Legation.
At the Spanish legation much interest is
manifested in the developments attending
the Maine inquiry, and the earnest hope is
expressed that conservative judgment will
rot be influenced by reports which are re.
garded as untrustworthy. Senior Du Bose
and his stan of the legation are maintain
ing calm attitude, and are seeking on
their part to ailay everything which might
inhame public sentiment. Recently an
incident occurred at a small city which
might have given ground for Official at

prevailing In that local community found
expression against the Spanish consular
agent located there. Under ordinary cir
cumstances he would have brought the in
dignities to the attention OF the Spanish
officials here. in which case It would Of
necessity have been made the subject OF
ofiicfai attention. Instead OF doing so. how
ever. the Spanish agent appealed to The
mayer of the city. and a satisfactory ad-
