SON.

Before LonE-Ths Orsgoa safe.

Washington, May 14.-Dednite on
cial Information reached the authort-
ties here late this afternoon that the
Spanish squadron has been sighted on
the island Of Curacao, one Of the
Dutch West Indies, lying OF the north
coast Of Venezuela. This Information
was regarded as of vital importance,
a. It not only fixed the position Of the
enemy, but disclosed the purpose Of
the Spanish admiral to elude Admiral
Sampson's fleet and make his way
through the Caribbean, probably to
Cuba. The island of Curacao was orig
inally Spanish. and Is peopled mainly
BY descendants of Spaniards, though
1t IL now one OF the Dutch possessions.
The Spanish admirars course WAS also
influenced by the fact that the French
cable, starting from Caracas, Venezue-
la, touches at the island Of Curacao,
thence proceeds northward through the
Caribbean to Hayti, with spurs run
ming east and west to Porto Rico and
Cuba respectively. He is thus enabled
to get In touch from Curacao with the
Spanish authorities In Cuba and Porto
Rico, and through them directly with
the Spanish admiralty at Madrid.
No immediate battle with Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet is expected, and the
Epaniards, as seem likely, have sue
ceeded in passing south OF the Ameri-
can feet and are now well to the
westward of 1t.

and about three box cars for the bag

take with II about $4,000 pounks of

that will be served to them after they
reach San Francisco.
The supplies that the men will take

having been ordered from Fort Logan

n.oonee.tr.do. Starving.

Key West, Fla, May 15.-The condi-
tions in Havana, resulting from the
blockade, are being generally brought
out by Information obtained from fish
ing smacks and other small vessels
captured of the coast.
Affairs at Havana now appear to be
worse than at any time since the Wey-
Ter regime. The fishermen who at first
braved the blockade for the high price
which fish brought in Havana now run
the risk not for money but for food. A
number of these have been captured by
the vessels OF the blockading feet,
nearly all of them being released after
having been questioned by our officers.
They all unite in picturing the state of
affairs at Havana as being pitiful in
the extIeme. The reconcentradoes they
said are nearly all dead, or have been
expelled from the city to die in the
suburbs.
The insurgents themselves have been
chary of receiving reconcentradoes.
and hundreds of the latter, who had
no personal friends In the lnsurgent
camps, had been left to starve between
the lines, which they did.

DISPATCH FROM DEWEY.
~, ss Rsst Several Uncomfortable Il.
pIris.


Washington, May 15.-The iispatc.l
e from Hong Kong brought welcoll
news to-day from Admiral Dewey to
the President, and particularly to Sec
retary Long and the naval officer
who are watching the admirais move
ments with much interest. While Il
apprehension existed as to his security
nevertheless reinsurance of safety i.
always pleasant. The kilograms ind
cate that Dewey has lost none of the
prestige gained In his memorable figh
Of two weeks ago. and that while lp
refrains from taking the city of Manila
he has 1t practically at his mercy. Til,
admiral expresses the belief that tho
rebels are hemming in the city b.
land. but the fact that he says cxplic.
itely that they have made no demon
stration seems TO disprove thoroughly
the published reports that they had III.
ready entered Manila and had begun
a career of bloodshed and rapine.
The dispatch as given out by Sec
retary Long is as follows:

London, May 16.-The Hong Kong
correspondent of the Standard says:
After the Callaos crew landed they
were released on parole, and the Cal
lao was paraded in full view Of Ma.
nilla, accompanied by the United
States cruiser Concord When Mr..
Williams, the United States consul,
landed at Cavite last week, he was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm by a
crowd Of 1000 people, shouting Viva
Los Americanos.

leader, is now in Hong Kong, actively
negotiating, l understand. with Presi-
dent Mckinley. / have reason to be-
lieye that he is seeking to arrange for
the future government Of the Philip.
pines by a native administration, un-
der the protectorate Of the United
States.
AT present there is a deal Of dissen-
sion among the rebel factions, some of
which are negotiating with the Ameri-
cans and others with the Spaniards.
Whether Aguinaldo possesses enough
influence TO reconcile these differences
and to induce the insurgents to pursue
u common policy is questionable. Ad-
miral Dewey is well advised In waiting
for reinforcements, since the fall of
Manila would produce anarchy
throughout the islands. The English
here advocate an Anglo-American ad.
ministration.
1T Is asserted here that Admiral
Dewey has recoaled three British war
ships"

Caanot Land on Cuban Soil Until . Naval
Battle Is Fought.
Washington, D. c.. May 13.-Direct
orders were given General Miles this
morning suspending for the present
the movement of the invading army
upon Cuba. General Miles has there
fore postponed his departure for the
South and II is announced authOria-
lively by the War Department Oh
cials that 1t cannot be stated with
defniteness when General Miles will
leave.
The suspension Of the movement If
the invading army upon Cuba was
induced by the proximity Of the Spar
ish Cape Verde squadron to Cuban
waters. 1t Is deemed by the depart
ment to be the part of wisdom not 10
risk the landing Of troops on Cuban
soil until the landing can be effected
under the protection of a stronger
fleet than is now available for the
purpose Of more protection. The fact
that the army movement has been
postponed is In direct evidence that a
decisive naval battle is expected to
occur within few days. 1t Is not
doubted that the squadron under the
command Of Admiral Sampson will
seek an engagement with the Spanish
fleet at once. and 1t is with the idea
Of awaiting the result Of that conflict
that the orders for the movement of
the land forces are held in advance
temporarily.

see 1T to give any Information on the
subject, and the same rigid silence
prevails as to the whereabouts and
destination of Commodore Schley's
flying squadron. The game has reach
ed such q critical stage that premature
publication as to the whereabouts Of
our ships might cause inestimable loss
and the failure of present plans.
The Spanish vessels are reported BY
our consul to be at Curacao for the
purpose Of coaling. Our scouts are out
patroling the waters Of the Caribbean
sea, and 1t is expected that Sampson
will meet the feet or that Schley will
head 1t OF near Havana.

cherry, especially beloved, in April;
the lotus In July: tzaleas during the
summer; chrysanthemums in the au-
