Apparent That Some Important
Move Is Being Planned.
Key West, Fla, May 17.-Yesterday
was a Sunday of unusual activity here
and it is apparent that an important
strategic movement is being planned
Commodore Watson arrived gu the
gunboat Dolphin from the blOckading
fleet off Havana. Orders came thick
and fast from Washington and the
naval station authorities were instruct
ed to make quick preparations to coal
ships. The ships already in the harbor
have been ordered to get up steam
without delay, but the officers say they
are Ignorant Of what this may indi-
cate. The announcement from the
north of the coming Of the flying squad
ron strengthens the theory held here
that movement of some kind is con-
templated. The chief factor in the sit
uation is the whereabouts of the Span
lSh fleet, understood to be off the Vene-
zueljan coast. 1t is conceded by naval
men that were Cervera's squadron to
meet the detached blockading SQUAD
ron off Cuba while Admiral SamDson's
ships were coaling here, a disastrous
blow might be inflicted, and it is be-
lleved the plan now under considera-
ton is to obyIate any such possibility.
extraordinary precautions are being
taken for the protection of Key West
harbor. ALTHOUGH the rumor lately cir
culated here that the Spanish feet is
heading this way is secuted by the
officials.

MO NEWS OF THE FLEETS.
1t OK of Official Information Coz

ok of Official Information Con-
corning the Fleets.
Washington, May 19.-The navy de-
partment showed iIs usual signs of &C
tiVity yesterday. yet there was an alb
sOlute lack of official information con-
corning the fleets. 1t was assumed
from this that no engagement had oc-
CURED, as the navy department has
been frank to give out full reports of
:'ctual conflicts, even while guarding
with the most rigid secrecy the prelim-
mary movements of ships. Now that
the opposing naval forces are so near
together. naval officials feel the need
Il ore than ever of preventing advance
publications, as these would jeopardize
the entire plan of naval camraign.
For this reason the navy department
is practically, closed against ali inquiry,
so TAR us future movements are con-
cerned. On the present war basis the
information given by the department
is the routine assignment Of officers =,
ships, actual engagements with the foe,
and such matters OF news as will not
assist the enemy. The routine an
notncment of vessel movements. COM
position OF fleets, ETC., are entirely sus-
pended. Not only is the department
guarding against allowing this infor-
nation to go from the department. but
it is seeking to prevent disclosures
from the many coast towns where the
ships put in. II it succeeds in heading
Off this disclosure of our plans it will
have the Spanish admiral at danger

wish is made that the newspapers will
assist in this.

Due to the Fact That the Insurgents
Failed to Connect With Them.
Key West, May 17.-Oapt Dorst says
the failure OF the expedition of the
Gussie was due to the fact that the
Cubans were unable to meet the land
ing party at the rendezvous, and the
Americans could not land supplies
with no one to receive them.
The arrangements for making q
landing at Cabanas were made ten
days ago by Capt Dorst with Gen.

forces in the Province of Pinar del
Rio and the supplies to be landed near
Matanzas We're to be conveyed to, Gen.
Gomez by a force of insurgents, en-
camped three miles back from the
coast line. Both of the Cuban parties
We're unable apparently, to appear at
the rendezvous owing to the activity
of the Spaniards.
The captain says the company which
landed through the surf at Cabanas
had narrow escape. The soldiers
were fired upon by Spanish cavalry
concealed in the land underbrush and
the fire was replied to with the result
that one Spanish officer and three men
were hit. Only one man on the Ameri-
can side was wounded the latter 4

Heralds special to the Pioneer Press
from Key West says: Two Americans,

Attempt to Arrange for an Exchange
of Prisoners.
st. Paul, May 1S.-The Pioneer Press
prints the following from a New York
Herald correspondent at Key West:
By the courtesy of the naval authori-
ties | was given passage on the armed
tug Uncas, which sailed at 1 o'clock
Saturday Morning with flag of truce
to arrange for the exchange of two
New York newspaper correspondents
captured by the Spanish when landing
on the Cuban coast. Before midday
we had steamed through the blockad-
ing squadron eight miles off the Cuban
coast, when Lieut.. Brainerd, boarding
the MayfOwer, delivered the sealed
orders and received his final instruc-
tons. We then steamed toward Moro
castle. When near our flags signalled
that we wished to communicate. The
Spanish returned our signals with:
Awaiting orders; do not anchor on
any account; coming off to you"
Presently an armed launch steamed
out of the harbor. Lieut.. Brainerd
and myself boarded her, and, leaving
the CncaS' side, were carried into the
harbor, being naturally ordered below
when near the defenses. An officer
communicated with the governor gen
eral and another launch with staff Of
ticers and the British consul came Off.
The Spanish received us most courte-
ously, and assured Lieut. Brainerd the
prisoners were being we'll treated.
Preliminaries Of exchange for Spanish
officers We're arranged through the
British consul general. who is in
charge of the American interests.
Havana is evidently quiet. The Of
fcers said all the theaters were open
as usual: Ny permission from Madrid
to land was recognized, but must
land from neutral vessel, so had to
