KEY WEST, May 23.-The British
steamer Ardanhar in command of
Capt. Can was brought here this
morning in charge of the ensign of the
gunboat Osceola, who seized her yes
terday off Carysfoot Light because she
was acting in a suspicious manner and
supposed to be trying to enter Havana
harbor. The shi p was here several
weeks ago with "a cargo of cattle for
Havana. She was turned back by the
blocksders. She proceeded to New
York where she unloaded the cattle
and started for Nashua and the Mexi-
can ports, including Vera Graz. She
stopped at Nashua and when captured
was out of her course if she was bound

Chicago, May 23.-Gen. Merritt ar
rived here yesterday from Washington,
He will stay here two days and will
probably sail fronr San Francisco for
Manila in about ten days The lack OF
foresight which caused this delay in
getting achievements to the brave
and gallant hero Dewey is almost
criminal and shows the utter incompe-
tcncy of those who have laid the plans
for the campaign.
Dewey was sent from Hong Kong
April oath and no arrangements were
made for his deliverance from posi-
bic emergency until he cabled his sit
uation. Even then tlfc strategy board
had to spend much valuable time in
discussing the matter before anything
could be done to relieve HIM. The
call from Dewey found the govern
ment totally unprepared, and several
DAYS have now been spent in making
uniforms, assembling troops and put
ting transport ships in order. Even
now it will take at least ten days to
complete the preparations. Mean
while a Spanish fleet with troops sut1l'
cient has embarked for Manila for the
purpose of bringing Dewey's victory t'
nauyht and to regain these possessions
If they reach there before Merritt does
what will be tie American opinion o.
