HELD A COUNCIL OF WAR
Gathering of Military and Ma

IMPORTANT POINTS DISCUSSED
Entire Situation Gone Over and Plans
Already Made Modified to Meet

WASHINGTON, May z7.-The presi.
dent called q consultation at the White
House during tho day between Score
taries Alger and Long, General Miles,
and the members Of the naval board,
Admiral Sicard, Captain Crowinshield
and Captain Mahan. AS stated by one
of the members Of the conference the
purpose was to go over the whole situa.
ton from the Philippines to Cuba and
Porto Rico and decide just how far the
plans already laid should be modified
to meet existing conditions. This in.
volved discussion Of such important
points as the propriety of the ilnmedi.

Cuba; the credibility Of the advices so
far had touching tho
Location Of the Spanish Squadron,
the policy of preceding tbs Cuban ex.

directed against Porto Rico, aud,
finally, the extent Of the military as.
sistance to be sent to Admiral Dewey
at Manila. AS already indicated, the
proceedings were rather in the nature
of a consultation than Of war council,
so it is not probable oil of these impor.
tant questions were disposed Of. None
of the members of the conference felt
authorized to tell what had taken
place, but there are thought to be
potent indications Of a decision to EN-.
bark military expedition in the course

Navy Department Has Not Heard That
schley ID at Santiago.
WASHINGTON, May ~. - Secretary
Long said at the close of office hours
that no word had come from any of
the scouting vessels now numerous in
West Indian waters concerning tho
Spanish flying squadron, wherefore he
concluded that Cervera was still in
Santiago harbor. Supposedly schley is
lying outside to prevent the egrsss Of
the Spanish vessels, but, while there is
evidence Of certain kind on that fact,
there has been no official confirmation
of it. This is little remarkable in
view Of the fact that it is only day g
run for one of Schley's swift torpedo
boats from Santiago to cable port in
Hayti. There is also
Curious Lack OF Information
from newspaper dispatch boats on this
point Notwithstanding the officials
have unshaken confidence in their orig
inal belief that the Spanish squadron is
securely bottled up in Santiago harbor,
there is no 'conceallnent' by them of ar
intense desire to secure some absolutely
trustworthy information on that point.
1t is not to be doubted that with the
question still open the beginning Of the
military operations is retarded, for as
long as there exists ssibility of the
spanish naval force being at large
there is an indisposition to start the
troop transports for Cuba.
