hc Infanta Maria Teresa, the Carlos Y and Alfonso XIII.
 In case the torpedo fotilla should proceed to Porto Rico from the Canary Islands it will be necessary, to form the proposed flying squadron, to detach from Rear-Admiral Sicard's command the cruisers Brooklyn and New York. This would leave him only the Iowa, Indiana and Massachusetts. the second class battleship Texas and the monitor Puritan, which will in all probability be ordered to Key West from Hampton Roads.
 Spain would thus be the superior of the American squadron by one armored cruiser and a protected cruiser of 5000 tons displacement which Is almost as good as an armored cruiser. but could be taken care of by the protected cruiser Newark, whose repairs are being has tened at Norfolk Navy Yard.
 It is true that four battle-ships. re- enforced by the monitor. would be more than match for the second class battle-ship Pelayo and the armored cruisers of Spain, but the authorities de- sire to make the superiority so over whelming there will be no chance for Spanish success, and therefore want the Oregon to proceed to Key West as quickly as possibly. 1t was authorita- lively announced few days ago that the Oregon would go to Callao, where she would be in a central position for work against the Philippines or in the Gulf. Tn view of the fact that Commo- dore Dewey's force in Asiatic waters IS ample for the capture of the Philippines, according to the latest estimate ot the officials, 1t is proposed that the Oregon shall not stop at Callao. but shall pro ceed as quickly as possible around the Horn and up the Atlantic coast oi South America to Key West
 The Oregon has I5,ooo mile voyage ahead of her, and 1t is expected she will not arrive at Key West before the mid dle of May.
 Should hostilities have commenced by that time she will undoubtedly be 2 most desirable re-enforcement for the North Atlantic squadron. So far as the Pacific Slope is concerned the, official: pooh-pooh the notion that there is dan ger. It is pointed out that the Spanish cruisers will be unable to secure coa except to take them to the neares Spanish port, and even if one did appear of San Francisco the Charleston. Phil adelphia and Monterey would be abl' to take care of her

CABINET MEN IN
 A WAITING MOOD.
While the Report of the Court of In quiry Is Forthcoming National
 Defense Is Considered.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-"The general expectation of the members or the Cabinet said one of them after the meeting to-day. Ifs that some report will be received during the present week from the Court of Inquiry exam ming into the cause of the Maine ex- plosion, yet" he added, Tit would not be surprising to us If the report should be delayed for a longer time. We nave nothing on which to base this hope that I know of, only the feeling seems gen eral that what I have said will be the case. There is nothing at hand asSyet to indicate what will be the nature or the findings of the court.
 To-day our time was occupied Tn discussion of the measures under way for the national defense and the acqu1- sition of new war vessels. We are keep ing an eye on the two ships under con- struction for Chile and Argentina, put it is not probable we can get them If we cannot obtain the ships. 1t IS source of satisfaction to know that Spain will not be able to purchase them either"

Their Constru ction Agreed Upon by the House Ma

To Be Located at Portsmouth, Boston, League Island, AL

It Is Expected That an Increase Will Be Made in warships and Ma

Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House,

Cdll OIllCe, ftlBSS 1OuSe,
 Washington, March 15. The construction of five modern dry docks was agreed on to-day by the House Committee on Naval Affairs. They are to be located at Portsmouth, N. H., Boston, Mass, League Island, near Philadelphia, Algiers, La. and Mare Island, Cal These docks are to be of wood, except those at A1giers and Portsmouth.
 The material for the construction of these will not be determined upon until tomorrow. The indications are that the dock at Portsmouth will be built of stone from nearby quarries and that at Algiers of steel. The decision of the committee was the outcome of a pro- tracted and at times animated discus sion. The final vote choosing the points named was seven to three. The oppo- nentsnents of the project first contend ed against their construction on gene ral principles, and then separately op- posed the sites that were selected.
 They argued that the docks should be located either where the approaches or depth of water were sufficient to ad- init the ingress and egress of the larg-
 
 ready been made under Government di- rection to put the approaches in a state of preparation to receive the largest vessels of both depth and width of channel, or that the work on the chan mel should be undertaken contempora- neously with the drydocks | It was agreed however, that the docks erected should be made capable 1 of accommodating the largest class of WarShipS.
 l The principal reason for the concIu- sion to build of wood was economy, but 1t was stated that docks so constructed might remain in good condition long enough for all practical purposes, and | that by the time their usefulness ceased developments in the structura 1 field or a change in the character o1 | the present dock ideas might arise. motion to vote on the docks separately was voted down-6 to 5-and then they were voted on as a whole and author ized.
 There Is strong disposition in the committee to increase the navy, in ad- dition to the three battle-ships recently authorized, by the construction of some smaller vessels of war.
 It was stated tonight that the com | mittee may authorize the building O. l ten torpedo boat destroyers, costing il the neighborhood of $1,5000O0 for all. 4 | movement for this increase will b, made tomorrow and Representativ Bull of Rhode Island will submit a mo tion calling for the construction of ; 1 number of both of these classes o boats, probably six. Others of the com mittee are favorable to the increas and some important action is looked for The increases in the personne asked for by Secretary Long will b. 1 taken up tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The re- port was circulated tonight that the United States had finally concluded its negotiations for the purchase from Chile of the OHiggins.

THE DREAM MINE.
A Company fOrded for Developing
 the Mysterious Property.

A EllIt of Goffs Kan, who has spent every winter in Phoenix fer the last six yeas, has lately returned. Mr. Ellitt will be better remembered as the discOverer of the Dream mine, about sixty miles southeast of Prescott. This mine was discovered ten years ago by Nil. ElliB- while lying in a trance at q hotel in WetmCTe, Kan. The circum- stances of the discovery have been ex- ten.ively published and have attracted the attention of the British aud Amer ican societies for p5ychical research
 MT. Ellitt did rot see the mine for more than four years after he dreamed about il. Very little work has been done on it. though when MT EIIlitt was last in the territory he procured l0t of ore from it ard look u east with him. It was all very rich, one sample showing 000 ton That. how ever, MT. Ellitt admits, was not an av- craze sample.
 A company of four men living a1 Gofs and AtchisOn, Kan, was formed net long ago for the development cI the mine. They le1, Atchison more than a week ago for Arizona and. MT Ellitt ir-ended to meet them at Pres cCtt The train on which he came was, however, delayed several hours and when he reached Prescott he de termined on account of the cold weather, as he is in i'll health, to come directly to Phoenix.

 BURNING OF THE BAGGAGE.- The fire at the s. F. r. & P passenger depot, at which considerable baggage was destroyed yesterday morn ing, is believed to have been caused by spoat aneous combustion or else by a block of matches in one Of the trunks. At any rate it started within the baggage. It could not have been caused by a lighted cigar stump, as was at first suggested, since the baggage room had been locked up for more than four hours. Beside il would have been impossible to ignite the leather Or iron boun,. trunks in that way The depot itself Lad mar row escape and would undoubtedly have burned but fer Messrs. Nave and Carver, who discovered the fire. They ran the truck with its blazing load out and turned their attention to the wood work. which had already begun to go.
