DOGS OF WAR TURNED LOOSE
The Peaceful Blockade of Cuba to
be Abandoned.

CHICAGO, May ia special to the
journal from Washington says:
President Mckinley has abandoned
his peaceful blockade idea. Orders We're
to-day cabled to the commander of the
blockading squadron that will give him
an opportunity to turn his ships loose
on all Notifications where resistance is
offered.
Every Cuban port that is strongly
protected will be attacked, and the
bombardment will be kept up until
Spanish guns are silenced and all gun
boats are sunk.
A special to the Journal from
Washington says: Within a week the
Naval Board of Strategy will be a rem
iniscence except as to name.
Captain Baker of the board has been
ordered to command the Newark, which
will go into commission next Saturday.
His departure will mark the breaking
up of the Naval Board of Strategy. The
Newark, by the way, will become the
flagship of the blockading squadron.
It will be the plan of the Secretary
of the Navy after this week to leave
more to the discretion of the officers in
command, reserving to himself and his
department advisers the right to coun-
sci and veto anything which may be,
in their judgment, entirely an error.

CAPE VERDE FLEET.
Anxious1y Awaited by the Govern
ment of San Juan

NEW YORK. May ia dispatch
to the World from St. Thomas says:
Captain General Macias and The Gov
ernment at San Juan are anxiously eN-
pecting the Cape Verde fleet 20 come to
the rescue of the islands. While put
ting on a bold front before the people,
the authorities are fearful Of another
onslaught by Rear Admiral Sampson $
squadron, and are hoping that Adnira
Cervera viii put in an appearance IN
the harbor.
Inquiries are made here from San
Juan as to the probable location of
the Spanish warships and the disquiet-
ing news is sent to Captain General
Macias that the fleet is far away from
the troubled CaSital
Macias sends word that he was vic
torious in the engagement with Samp-
son. that his loss in soldiers was trif,ing.
that a few civilians We're killed and only
two guns We're dismounted The Amer

a fire that was maintained until they
We're out of range. The damage to mis-

STORY oF SECOND FLEET.
No Credence Placed in Report at
Navy Department.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-The Navy
Department takes with great allowance
the report that the Spanish strategists
have succeeded in sending a second
squadron under Admiral Villamil to the
West Indies, and that it is off Marti-
nique. Even if the alleged information
did not bear the suspicious earmark of
a Madrid date the department would
not be surprised to hear that Admiral
Villamil, as we'll as Admiral Cervera,
was with the Spanish force in the Car
ibbean Sea The fact that the report
came from Madrid satisfies the officials
here that this is another Spanish ruse
to center our attention on Martinique
while their ships have passed west
ward.
The report has it that Admiral Villa
mil has with him the cruisers Cisneros,
Catalonia and Princess De Asturias.
1t is known, however, that Villamil is
not the Admiral of these ships, and
that at least one of them, the Cisneros,
is on the other side of the water. It is
added that Admiral Villamil is a subor-
dinate to Admiral Cervera. whose duties
are to command the torpedo destroyers
attached to the first Spanish squadron.
He occupies the same attitude that
Commodore Watson does to Admiral
Sampson.
The fact that the alleged report of the
second squadron passed a Madrid
| censor indicates the desire of the
Spanish authorities to spread abroad
this misleading information. It's pur-
pose. it is believed, is to induce Admiral
Sampson to remain with his fleet at
or near Martinique in quest of the
shadowy second squadron. SO as to take
him away from his pursuit of Admiral
Cervera and the actual Spanish game
already in sight.

EXPEDITION TO PHILIPPINES.
The City of Peking to Leave o
Thursday or Friday.

CHICAGO, May 16.--A special TO the
Journal from Washington says:
Secretary of War Alger, on leaving
the White House to-day, said the City
of Pekin< will leave San Francisco on
Friday for the Philippines. She will
carry as many troops as can be put
aboard her, which will be at least $50
men.
It is probable that at least - 900 will
be sent in several detachments. enough
to overcome any resistance and perfect
ly occupy the island.
A special from Washington says:
There is a possibility that part of the
troops bound for the Philippines will
sail direct from Seattle to Manila.
NAY START ON THURSDAY.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-It is said
at the Quartermaster- Generals office
that the City of Peking with over 900
men aboard will leave San Francisco on
Thursday for the Philippines. Briga-
der General Otis is expected to go with
the first detachment of troops for the
Philippines to be followed later by Cen
eral Merritt. who is to be Commander
in-Chief of the expedition and the Mill
tary Governor Of the islands. General
Miles has recommended to the Pres
ident that two additional Brigadiers
also be sent, but tha:r names have
not yet been announced.
GREAT BRITAIN MAY ASSIST.
CHICAGO, May 1G.-A special 70 the
Journal" from Washington says: 1t
is generally understood that if the
emergency should arise Great Britain
will send marines ashore at Manila to
preserve order until the American army
arrives. on the plea that she wishes to
protect her own interests.

COALING IN MARTINIQUE
French Claim Spanish Ships Have
That Right.

NEW YORK, May 16.-A dispatch to
the World" from Paris says: The
French Minister of Marine to whom the
World" correspondent was referred by
the Foreign Secretary for information
respecting the action of the French
authorities at Martinique in permitting
the Spanish fleet to coal at Fort De
France, said: Il have no cognizance of
any application for permission of the
Spanish fleet to coal at Martinique"
This accords with the statement that
the World" Saturday received from
Maitre Clunet. the chief international
jurist of France and leading French
exponent of the continental system of
international jurisprudence. Maitre
Clunet says:
II do not consider the Martinique
incident a breach of the French declar-
alton of neutrality. That declaration
does not include the right of asylum
which depends upon usage and not on
law.
LAS to the right of asylum, the views
of France, England and America prac-
tically accord, as proof of which
may cite the proclamation of General
Grant on the breaking out of the
FranceGerman war. According to
usage, therefore, the Spanish fleet had
the right to put in at Martinique. and
with the permission of the authorities
of the port to take on sufficient coal to
carry them to the declared nearest port
of their own country
IF the provision was not sufficient
they might make up the deficiency at
another neutral port without a breach
| of neutrality. After taking coal they
must leave within twenty-four hours"
DELIVERY OF COAL PROHIBITED.
ST. THOMAS Cd. w. l., May 10

Scotland with a cargo of coal for Porto
Rico and which awaited orders here,

CHATTANOOGA (Tenn), May 10
Chickamauga Park, left vacant by the
departure of the regulars, is rapidly

parts of the country the volunteers are
pouring into the park in trainloads and
the work of getting them camped and
properly accommodated is progressing
rapidly.

AT TAMPA.
Difficulty in Supplying Enough
Water for Troops

TAMPA, May 16.-General Wade's
tour of inspection of the different ports
of Florida. that have been under con-
sideration as rendezvous for the volun-
teer troo0s, may result in the transfer
of many Of the troops now located at
Tampa TO some other point. The last
two regiments of cavalry from Chicka-
mauga, the First and Tenth, have been
encamped at Lakeland, and the Seven
ty- first New York and other volunteer
troops, soon to arrive, also Will go into
camp there The place is admirably
suited for a camp ground, on account
of the railroad facilities and the abund-
ance Of water. 1t is. however. thirty
niles from deep water, and the troops,
it is said. will be located there only
temporarily General Wade Will ca
anime the grounds around Miami, the
terminus OF the Florida East Coast
Railroad, very carefully, and upon his
report. it is understood, Will depend
whether there shall be a transfer OF
the regular troops to that point. No
action of this kind, of course, will be
taken should an earlx conflict between
the Spanish and American fleets occur,
and the troops be ordered to Cuba.
One Of the chief difficulties The Gov
ernment has to contend with is the
supply Cor the troops with water. Most
of the supply has to be brought from
st. Petersburg, about ten miles down
the bay, at an expense of a cent gall
Ion. Admiral SIMPSONS fleet and The
station at Key West depend in a great
measure upon the same source of sup
ply. This condition of affairs has re-
in 6icnnCCiOn
wisdom of keeping the base of supplies
here. Miami beach, on account of It's
abundant water suoply, its harbor ia
cilities and also because it is much
nearer Cuba, has been considered tav-
orably as a rendezvous for troops and
also for the establishment of supply
derots.
The big TRANSPORT Orizaba left here
to-day for New Orleans for the purpose
of bringing to Tampa some of the reg
ular troops located there.
Maior-G General Wheeler to-day took
command of the cavalry division of the
army appearing for the first time since
1861 in the blue of the United States.
The formation into a regiment OF
the Florida State troops will be under
taken at once.
SAVANNAH, May 16.-By the order
of Commanding General Wade another
camp of the rendezvous of the United
States trooos has been established at
Lakeland, thirty-five miles east Of
Tampa, on the line of the Plant system
of railways. All the troops arriving
there to-day are going into camo at
that place Lakeland is one Of the nigh
est points in Florida, well wooded and
is supplied by artesian wells. It is
situated in what is known as the veg
etable belt. where the trooos can be
supplied with the vegetables Of nearly
all varieties. 1t is supposed that 10000
to $1,000 TROOPS will be located at this
point Lakeland is a town OF about
1000 inhabitants. and is on the main
west coast line between Tampa. Rich
mond and Washington.

Was Reported Off Cape Haytien
Yesterday.

PORT AU PRINCE, May 16.-(Copy-

The United States torpedo boat Porter
returned to Cape Haytien this morn
ing, having left Rear Admiral Samp-
sons fleet in the offiing. Lieutenant
Bennett conferred with the United
States Consul at Cape Haytien and
filed dispatches from the Rear Admiral
The rendezvous of the fleet is north of
Cape Haytien.
The Porter left here at 10 o'clock to
rejoin the fleet. While going to Cape
Haytien yesterday the Porter scraped
reef but sustained no damage.
The destination of the fleet is uncer-
tain The store ship Supply was or
dered to await the Minneapolis at Cape
Haytien and her departure from there
is said to be due TO a mistake which
will probably be rectiied by the Por-
ter's return.
The cruiser Minneapolis is likely to
be intercepted with new orders.
HIS PLANS CHANGED.
WASHINGTON, May 16.--It is said
at the Navy Department that Admiral
Sampson reported to the Navy Depart
ment to-day by cable from Cape Hay
ten. 1t is understood that the Admiral
by reason of information received by
him. changed his plan of operations
and instead of going to Key West has
directed his vessels toward Cienfuegos,
where he is expected to arrive within
the next day or two.
A SURPRISE FOR THE SPANISH.
CHICAGO, May ia special to the
Journal from Washington says:
A big surprise awaits the Spanish Ad-
miral if he sails for Martinique. There
posed of the Oregon, the Marietta, the
Buffalo, the Nictheroy. the Montgom

to, or superior to any piece OF armor

highest velocity, at 1915 feet per sec
ond, the shot penetrated only twelve
inches, without cracking the plate, the
very last piece to be delivered under
the existing contract, and which is in
tended for the Kentucky.
The important DEVELOPMENT of the
day at the War Department was the
definite selection of the corps COM
manders. The announcement, however
does not contain any surprises. Though
Major General Wesley Merritt is ac
credited to the Department of the Pa
cific, such designation is made for
mally, and it is known that he will go
to the Philippines in command of tie
army there, and will be accompanied
by Major General Otis. The desisna-
tion Of General Fitzhugh Lee as com
mander OF the Seventh Cor2s, With
headquarters at Tampa. would seem to
indicate that he is to accompany the
army Of invasion TO Cuba.
