Yesterday Tuesday just before daylight
there was another false alarm of torpedo

Washington, June t3.--Antlcipating an
attack on the Canary Islands by squadron
of the United States, Spain is taking meas
ures to largely reinforce hsr garrison
there. Authoritative information was re-
caived at the navy department today an
nouneing that several thousand men VIII
be sent TO the Canary Islands on board The
auxiliary cruisers attached to Admiral
Camara's squadron.
This information is important; not SO
much because it shows Spain proposes 70
strengthen her force in the Canary Islands
AZ because it remoyesaal doubt tnat the
destination of the Spanish reserve iieet IS
not the Philippines, but really the west
Indies. with the Canary Islands as the first
stopping place.
The auxiliary cruisers Rapido and fatri-
ota and other vessels OF the same CLASS
returned this morning from target jprac-
,,ce Yesterday. Apparently no damage was
sutrered by the ships as a resnitsUf tn's

THAT CADIz FLEET
WILL NOT BE READY FOR WEEKS
SAYS HAY.
bureau of Navigation Says II Has
Proof That the ships Are
Unscaworthy.


Washington, June 10. Ambassador Hay
cableo he state department from London
today that he had positive information that
the Cadiz fleet. commanded by the Spanish
Admiral Camara. would not BE- ready for
sea for several weeks.
This information settles the numerous
runners which have been in circulation con-
corning the whereabouts of SPANS reserve
squadron. Hs
Immediately after the state department
received the csblegram from Ambassador
Hay The bureau OF navigation OF lhe navy
department gave out the information that
the proof of the unseaworthiness OF the
vessels now at Cadiz was absolutely re-
liable.
London, June 10. The Cadiz correspond
ent of the Daily Chronicle says Captain
Aunon's reception along the route from
Madrid to Cadiz was not very enthusiastic.
The reserve squadron is not ready. In
deed, it is doubtful whether 1t will ever de-
part The cruiser Alfonso XIII is prac-
tically eliminated as unseawortby ahd the
Princess de Asturias is unfinished and
In the dock with az armament incomplete.
Probably Captain Aunon came to see why
the Alfonso XIII is under repairs.
The military government of Caitz is
vigorous. The lighthouses have been
destroyed and the forts are being strength
ened, some twenty fresh guns being mount
ed, six are modern.
The Chronicle comments upon the fore
going dispatch and says This oogie man
squadron need not frlghten the timldest
soul In America"
