Washington, June 2s.-Altbough the
navy department authorized yesterday the
statement that Commodore Watson's East
crn squadron would sail for Spain imme-
diately, there Is little likelihood OF its de-
parture under ten days. 1t Is not at all
unlikely that the departure Of the squad
ron may be indefinitely postponed. This
will depend upon information respecting
Admiral Canara's feet. Should 1t proceed
through the Suez canal and continue on
Ats way to the philippines the department
may hasten the dispatch Of the American
fleet, but should 1t return to Spain, as now
seems probable, the officials admit that
there Will be no present necessity Of send
ing the feet to Spain and the efforts of
both the navy and army viii be directed
toward the occupation Of Cuba and Porto
Rico.

him in good faith, and married him
under that name in Chicago. There
fore she claimed that she could not be
guilty of robbing Mrs. Osher of her
husband. The plaintiff in the case
put Thomas T. jacobson on the stand,
and he gave some important evidence.
He claimed that he came to Minneap-
oils in the fell of 1894, and was ill
here. Osher called upon him at his
room, and said be would call again
and bring his "girl." He came and
brought the defendant. Witness ad-
dressed him as Osher and later they
had an oyster supper and went to the
theater, witness accompanying a sister
of the defendant. To her he spoke of
Osher's family. Mr.. Gjertson cross
examined the witness very closely, but
did not shake his story in the least.
