Washington, April 29.-The news of
the day of most interest was the de-
parture from Cape de Verde of the
Spanish fleet. the stay of which at st.
Vincent has been a source of anxiety
on the part of officials here, because it
seemed to indicate that the sympathy
of Portugal for Spain might lead her
to wink at a violation of neutrality
laws in favor of Spain. Late in the
afternoon a cablegram came to the
state department from Cape de Verde,
bearing no signature, announcing that
four battleships and three torpedo
boats had started north, and some for
Cuba. and that the northern fleet re-
turned shortly. having been in Ills
ion.
Because there was no signature at

MISLEADING NEWS.
The statement that the vessels, when
leaving st. Vincent, were headed in
soutnerly direction, is valueless as an
Indication to the real course of the
feet The majority of the naval Of
ficerS here feel confident that the Span
ish fleet will next appear at the Canary
Islands. about half way between Cape
lie Verde and Spain, and lying directly
in the homeWard path of the ships.
AS the Canaries are Spanish islands,
and possess some fortincations worthy
of consideration, it may be that the
fleet viii be allowed to remain there
for some time. as the islands form
good strategic base.
CABLE IN SPANISH HANDS.
What most concerns the navy officers
Just now, is how to learn when the
fleet does arrive. The cable to the Ca
naries being in Spanish hands. the ar
rival of the fleet would be kept secret.
The intended visitation of the converted
American liners to the coast of Spain,
may hasten home the return of the
Cape de Verde squadron, for it is be-
lieVed that that squadron comprises
about all of the vessels in the Spanish
navy that are speedy and powerful
enough to warrant an attack upon yes

ADDITIONAL SHIPS.

The war department, it is expected,
will endeavor to secure additional ships
for transports, but it is said that none
were acquired today. The capacity of
those obtained yesterday is not ade-
quate to the number of men which it
is reported is to embark on the expe-
dition to one of the Cuban ports, and
which it is believed will be sent in a
very short time. The commissary de-
partment has depots of supplies at New
Orleans, Mobile and Chickamauga,

use of the service.

BACK FROM HONOLULU.


Five Companies of New York Volunteers
on Their Way Home
Chicago, December 20.-Two train

Sheehan; Company A. Capt Palmer;
Company B, Capt. Manson, and Com

The total OF 472 men were under the

men did not come into the Union De-
pot, but were transferred at Forty-sec-
opd street to Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern cars, and left over that road
for their Eastern homes. The remain

were left in the army hospital at the
Hawaiian capital. Very few OF them.
however, were seriously i'll. During
the four months the regiment has spent
in the tropics 20 of its number died.
Col. Barber said that those critically
i'll were doing well when he left, as
they had been changed from the hos
pital in which they had been first plac-
ed to one on higher ground.
Col. Barber said the reports in re-
gard to the sickness at Camp McKin-
ley and at Camp Otis were very much
exaggerated "Of course" he said,
there was sickness and lots of it, but
very little of a really alarming char
acter. Some sickness was unavoidable.

men in the camp was required to assist
in keeping the grounds and the sinks
