told OF a formidable fleet sent over to
aid Cervera, has shifted to Cadiz, and
now from Spanish sources comes the
story that Spain is determined to oust
Dewey at Manila, and is preparing a
formidable force of ships and men for
the task. Rumor says the battleship
Pelayo, the Carlos v. and the Alfonso
Kill, with the Patria, Rap.do and two
destroyers, are ready for sea, and will
carry five battalions. This story, how
ever, has been told so often, and the
Spanish reserve fleet has been so often
sent in one direction or another, that
officials do not credit the story. The
force described is formidable, and on
paper more than match for Dewey,
but there will be no anxiety for him
until the feet Is actually reported from
some reliable. quarter.
SHIPS AVAILABLE.
In the meantime an addition to the
United States feet has become avail
able. A torpedo boat and a destroyer
have been put in commission at Nor
folk navy yard, and on Saturday Capt.
Barker will hoist his flag over the
cruiser Newark. The torpedo boat is
the MsKee and the destroyer the Yank-
ton.
The Mckee has just been completed
by the Columbia. Iron Works at Balti-
more, and has been known as torpedo
boat No. Is. She Is a craft Of sixty
five tons, horse power $50, and has two
torpedo tubes. She will be under the
command Of Cheslem M. Knepper, lieu
tenant junior grade, who has been
on duty with the school ship st. Mary.
He entered the naval academy from
Pennsylvania and attained his present
rank in 1895.
j. D. Adams, lieutenant junior grade,
will command the Yankton. He is
from Mississippi. His present rank
was attained In 1894. He has been on
duty with the photographic Office.
The Newark Is protected cruiser,
end has been undergoing repairs at
Norfolk navy yard. She is a vessel of
about the class of the Baltimore and
the Detroit. She has displacement of
4.098 tons, Indicated horse power $3.50.
She has a main battery Of twelve
guns.
Capt. Barker, who will command the
Newark, has been a member of the
strategic board, and before that assign
ment was in command of the Oregon.
He entered the naval academy from
Massachusetts, and served through the
civil war as an ensign. He attained
rank as a captain in 1894.

the trains were transferred to the Bur-
lington, Cedar Rapids & Northern, and
at Burlington to the ST. Louis, Kansas
& Northwestern to st. Louis, where the
o. & M. will take the regiment to Cor
inth, Miss. From there the Southern
railroad will take the troops to Chat
tanooga. The trip has been a series Of
ovations. cities and villages vieing with
one another to do honor to the troops
At each station throngs of cheering
people waited for hours for the trains,
and at the larger cities presents of
fruits, provisions and cigars were
thrust upon the boys. At Albert Lea
coffee and sandwiches were served the
entire regiment, and numerous baskets
Of provisions and dainties were given
to the local company. Vinton, Water
loo and Cedar Rapids, To-, were espe-
cially hospitable, and everywhere flags
waved, bands played and cannon
doomed.
One officer from each company is act
ing as officer Of the guard and looks
after order In the car. Rations are
served to the men In their seats by
Quartermaster Lind, and consist of cof-
fee, bread and canned meats.
Besides Col. Bobleter and staff, Col.

Clough's private secretary, are on the
first section. Maj. T. c. Clark, regi-
mental surgeon, Is looking after the
health and sanitary condition Of the

the American fleet, or who has any
doubt about the result Of such an en-
counter. The squadron is a "forlorn
hope" sent out to be sacrificed And It
is not to be sacrificed, as is sometimes
the cruel necessity of warfare, in order
to insure the success Of other military
operations. 1t Is to be sacrificed to
save Spanish PRIDE" and to enable a.
tottering government to hang on a
little longer.
GAME DRAGGING.
Regarding Clark, with the Oregon
and her consorts, there are no reports.
If he is moving UP to join the Mont
gomery, Yale and Harvard at Mar
Unique, he should be we'll up toward
the meeting point. Schley also has had
q day for advance, and should be VIII
down into the Florida straits.
The naval game just for moment is
dragging, and, while the interest is not
less intense, the mystery with which
the moves are shrouded to some extent
prevents the lay public, and even Of
hclals who are not In the secret, from
understanding just what is being ac-
complished and how the delay affects
the chances of the contestants. There
Is, however, no reason to change the
often expressed opinion that sooner or
later Cevera must fight and lose.

The War Department Preparing to
Move Upon Cuba.
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Considera-
BILE pressure has come upon the admin
istration from congressional quarters to
have the campaign hastened, and there
are thought to be signs Of resumption
Of the plans Of the military leaders for
the invasion of Cuba at the point
where they were suddenly suspended
by the announcement of the arrival Of
the Spanish flying squadron at Mar
Unique.
One sign Of this was the Inclusion in
the regular army orders Of a direction
to Maj. Gen. Miles to go to Tampa.
At army headquarters there was no
sign of immediate departure, but, in
view Of the fact that three times at
least everything has been prepared for
movement to Tampa, it may be pre-
sumed that every thing Is in shape for
departure at short notice, without open
manifestation Of preparations.

apprehension that Admiral Dewey or
his men are in any wise endangered by
their occupation Of Manila l1arbor on
the present basis, but this cannot be
said of the unfortunate inhabitants of
Manila if the present situation is pro-
tracted unduly.
1t is no small matter to organize and
transport an expedition Of $4,000 or 49,

at short notice, but the indications are
that within week some of the soldiers
at least will be on their way from San
Francisco.
There are Indications that the war
department has been brought to see
the wisdom and fairness of the sugges-
tions thrown out by Maj. Gen. Merritt
that his expedition should consist of
not less than $4,000 men, and that at
least third Of them should be season
ed troops from the regular army, capa-
bic OF meeting on even terms the vet
eran Spanish soldiers who garrison Ma
Mia. To endeavor to overcome the
Spanish force with less than half their
number of troops would seem to be a
senseless proceeding, in view Of the
fact that there Is no necessity for such
course.

1t Will Reach Chickamauga Some
Time Today.
Special to The st. Paul Globe.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 1.-THE
Fourteenth regiment, Minnesota volun-
teers, are bowling along toward Dixie
a little behind time, but they will all
be in camp on Chickamauga's famous
field some time tomorrow So far every
body Is In fine spirits and none Of the
men are too sick to take their meals.
The last section Of the train arrived
in Chicago at 2 o'clock this afternoon
five hours late. The delay was occasion
ed by an accident to an engine at
Neenah Junction, Wis, and the train
had to wait their until another engine
could be brought from Neenah.
The regiments welcome in Wisconsin
was especially cordial. A group of peo-
pie at every station yelled themselves
hoarse as the train thundered by. Bon
fires were kindled all along the line,
and at Medina, which was passed
about o'clock this morning, fife and
drum corps was at the depot as the
train went through. Crowds were out
at Oshkosh, Fond du Lac and Wauke-
sha, where breakfast was taken.
AT the Waukesha depot the platform
was crowded and flowers were thrown
through the windows until the cars
looked like a well stocked florists shop
None of the men have been allowed
to leave the train and will not be un-
til Chickamauga is reached.
1t is stated that the regiments will
be brigaded at Camp Thomas in the
order in which they arrived. Should
this plan be carried out, more than
likely the Fourteenth and Twelfth will
not meet again until they return to
Minnesota.

ward passage to meet the Spanish ad-
miral and Is now in the Caribbean
sea somewhere in the triangle formed
by Cuba, Jamaica and Hayti, while 1t
comes from naval experts Is only
guess and may be no more accurate
than a counter suggestion that his
movement has been along the north
coast OF Cuba toward Cardenas and
Havana. The bulk Of expert opinion Is
In favor Of the former theory and the
general belief is that Admiral Sampson
is In the Caribbean sea or the wind
ward passage.
SPANISH FLEET
OF the Spanish fleet there Is the same
lack of authentic information. Latest
reports locate Admiral Ceryera' g
squadron off the coast of Venezuela,
or possibly further up toward Cuba and
Central America off Colombia. Accept
Ing the truth Of the Madrid story, that
the Spanish admiral Is playing for time
and position, It may be that he has
not moved far from Curacao and Is
ready for what may turn up.
Among naval experts the call Of the
Spanish fleet at Curacao Is puzzling.
The island Is not upon any route that
the squadron would take for any oh
vious errand. It Is very much out of
the way If they are bound for Cuba,
In that case, If they meant to establish
themselves on the south coast, either at
Cfenfuegos or at Santiago de Cuba
they could have gone westward straight
through the Caribbean, where also thex
would have been most secure from OBJ
servation.
BY steering southwest to Curacao and
then northwest to Cuba they would
allow not only Commodore Schley, but
Admiral Sampson a long start. and
would have reason to expect, when
they did show themselves off the Cuban
coast, to be met possibly by the COM
bined fleet, against which they would.
of course, have no chance whatever.
Even to retake the theory, which
seems to have been exploded. that they
are after the Oregon, they would be
further from her than they were at
Martinique, and west Of the point at
which she might most probably be in
tercepted.
SCHLEY WILLING.
The most reasonable project, appar-
rently, that the Spaniards can enter
tain is to beat Admiral Sampson's feet
back to Cuba. They would probably
welcome an encounter with the fyfna
squadron, If they could catch it alone.
being superior to 1T, on paper. But
Commodore Schley would also without
doubt welcome the encounter, in the
confidence that superiority in naval wa.
cannot be exhibited on paper, but must
be determined on the sea.
Whether or not they fell In with thu
flying squadron. they would expect 10
scatter the blockading fleet, which thew
would be easily able to do IL 1t were
not first called off from the blockade.
and then establish themselves in a Gu
ban port, preferably Havana itself.
where they would have. the support Il
the Notifications in case of a naval at
tack, and trustworthy base and coal
supply, by aid Of which they might
make occasional sallies.
FORLORN HOPE.
OF course this would be an inglorious
part for the Spanish fleet to play. but
there is no glorious part open TO 4.
There is not an intelligent officer in
the Spanish squadron who does not
know that, sooner or later, it must meet
