NO OFFICERS NEEDED.
Navy Department Has Sufficient
for All the Vessels.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-With the
best disposition to meet the wishes of
many young men who are coming for
ward with requests to serve as officers
in the navy, Secretary long has been
obliged to make an announcement that
he will be unable to do so. The reason
is that the conditions are entirely dis
similar to those that prevailed at the
outbreak of the Civil War We have
now q considerable naval militia that
is entering the naval service as a vol
unteer force, and the organizations
come into service fully equipped with
their own officers of all grades The
new vessels that have been added to
the navy in large numbers recently
have been accepted by the Government
as they were, of course, the crew re-
naming on board and in the service,
leaving no need for the addition of reg
ular naval officers except in the high
est grades. Thus, in spite of the great
increase of the navy no additional Off
GERS are needed, the advance having
been along the whole line Of course,
this statement applies only to officers,
and particularly to applications for
Acting Paymasters, Ensigns and Lieu
tenants, and is not intended to discour-
age enlistments below the commission

received no word concerning recent

consider such a move as inopportune
under existing circumstances. a lead
ing member of the diplomatic corps said
to- day:
What could we intervene about? 1t
could not be on the fact that the United
States had occupied the Philippines, be-
cause we do not know yet that the Phil
ippines are occupied. 1t could not be
because Porto Rico may be occupied,
for We have no official information that
any movement AGAINST that island is
contemplated. In fact, even if Con-

has no facts before it thus far on which

Officers and Men Anxious for the
Move on Cuba.

ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED

SPENCER, OFF HAVANA (via Key
West May 6.-(Copyright, 1893. by the
Associated Press. 1.-The blockade Of the
Cuban ports by the warships of the
United States is as effective as ever
No vessel has entered one of the block
AIDED ports. 1t is monotonously weary
work, drifting idly about in the burning
sun during the day, and patrolling the
coast at night, with only an occasional
chase for diversion. Therefore it is not
astonishing that the officers and men
of the fleet alike are looking eagerly
forward to the day when the rumored
movement of the United States army
viii take place.
The glorious news of Dewey's victory,
as meager as they are, the details Of
which have made their way to the
blockading squadron, were received
with intense rejoicing, and there We're
many hearty cheers for Uncle Sam.
The Associated Press dispatch boat
Kate Spencer cruised up the Cuban
coast from Matanzas to Havana yester-
day.
An officer of the Hornet says that
yesterday morning the Spanish flag
was raised over a lighthouse on sand
spit just east of the entrance of Matan-
zas. and he thinks two guns were
mounted there. If sunrise proves this
to be correct, it is possible that with
the aid of the Hornets quick-firing SIX
Founders that officer will shortly be in
possession of the Spanish guns and the
lighthouse.
A number of cane fires are burning
between Matanzas and Havana. Few
of the small turret-like houses which
dot the crest of the green bluff on the
shore show evidence of life. AT the
mouth of a small inlet, however, lay
tiny coast-guard vessel at anchor.
She was about the size of a small naph-
tha launch, and had the yellow flag Oh
Spain floating from her taffrail.
While the dispatch boat was sklrtlnS
the shore two shots were fired at her
from a small fort, but they were PROB
ably from small arms. as the result OF
the Spanish target-practice could not

TALK OF INTERVENTION.
Great Britain Refuses to Take Part
in Amy Such Movement.

LONDON. May G.-Certain Powers. it
has been learned by the Associated
Press, have again made overtures to
Great Britain looking to intervention
in the war between Spain and the
United States, but Great Britain per-
sisted in her refusal to take part in
any such move. 1t is a significant fact
that the British naval authorities have
decided to Immediately commission two
new battleships, just completed.
The Yorkshire Post" one of the
best informed and most influential
newspapers, referring to the efforts of
certain Powers to induce Great Britain
to reconsider her determination not to
take part in any intervention between
