WASHINGTON, April 19.-While
there has been great activity along the
Atlantic seaboard during the past
week in the way of preparing the aux
iliary fleet and examining vessels Tor
use in harbor protection and for the
formation of the mosquito fleet, the
Pacific Coast has not been neglected.
Orders have been given for the ex-
animation of first-rate tugs in san
Francisco bay and Puget Sound, and
also for the inspection Of steamers in
the Pacific trade, which may be I'M
pressed if necessary.
No new purchases have been made
or are contemplated at the present
time. but the Navy Department is col
Letting information which may result
in adding at least a dozen boats to the
fleet if a contingency arises which
makes a coast guard patrol necessary.
WASHINGTON, April 20. - The
Navy Department has not made as
signments of commanders to the yes
sells which will compose the Pacific
squadron. 1t is understood, however,
that Captain Louis Kempff, who was
commander of the Independence, will
be put in charge of the Philadelphia

take command Of the Charleston.

Wen Known Admiral Booked for
Responsible Position.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-Assist-
ant Secretary Of the Navy Roosevelt
having resigned to enlist, Rear Admit
raj J. G. Walker, retired, may be his
successor as assistant Secretary Of the
Navy. Rear Admiral Walker has been
a member of the Naval Strategic
Board, and is thoroughly in touch
with the plans of attack and defense
prepared both by the War and Navy
departments.
There is reason to believe that a
fourth squadron for the protection Of
the cities Of the Gulf coast may be
formed by the Navy department. In
case it is finally determined TO form
a gulf patrol squadron, its headquar-
tiers probably will be fixed at New Or
leans, where fears are entertained for
the safety Of the levees Of the Missis-
sippi river. These Ievees could be de-
stroyed without much difficulty by an
enemy provided he could. reach them.

"WOODFORD."

NEW YORK, April 21-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Herald
sends the following: SPANS answer
to President McKinley's uItimatum may
take the form of shot and shell. Her
formidable fleet, which has been mob
ilizing at Cape Verde Islands for some
days past. sailed today from that point
for an unknown destination. This in
formation was received tonight by the
attaches of the late legation of Spain
who have remained in this city.
1t is conceded to be highly probable
that the feet will hasten across the
ocean to Porto Rico and Cuba to pre-
vent by force the ousting from the ISL
ands of the naval and military forces
of the Spanish Government.
In order to ascertain the whereabouts
of the Spanish vessels it is probable
that a swift man-Of-war will be sent to
Eastern waters. AS soon as they sight
the enemy it will be their duty to re-
turn and inform the Government of
what they have seen, when COmmO-
dore Schley's forces and those of Cap
tain Sampson will be gathered to adj
minister a crushing blow to the enemy.
1t is admitted to be possible that the
vessels may not go to Cuba or to Porto
Rico, but may make a counter demon
stration against New York or one of
the Northern ports, in which event it
would be necessary to draw ships away
from the gulf coast to give them battle.
| Officials say they will have plenty OF
| time to prepare for the Spanish fleet,
as at least a week will be taken up in
making the distance between st. Vim
cent and Porto Rico.

HE MAY BE ALLEN.
A Man Arrested In Butte Supposed to BE
the Murderer.

W
The sherin's officers last evening arrest
ed a man near the Montana depot on sus-
picion that he Is Joseph Allen. the sheep
shearer, who murdered another shearer
named j. s. Reynolds about p miles
north Of Helena last Sunday morning. but
they are not very strong IN the oelet
that they have the right man. although
he answers the description almost per
fectly. The description received from
Sheriff Davidson of Helena was that OF a
quarter-breed about p years of age. .
feet Q inches i'm height, slim and weighing
about l55 pounds, dark hair and eyes ana
smooth shaver Sheriff Davidson wired
that he had reason to believe that Allen
had started to return TO Idaho and would
come through Butte.
AS soon as the telegram was received
Under Sheriff Murphy and Deputy Aware
started out on a unit for the man and
late i'm the afternoon found the fellow
who so perfectly answered the description.
He was taken To the sheriff's office and
there questioned by Mr.. Murphy, but he
was not informed as to the reason for his
arrest.
As a strange and curious coincidence. he
said his name was William Allen ReN-
mods, using the names of both the muir
derer and his victim. Mr.. Murphy asked
him IL he had ever been known by the
name of Allen. and he replied no, that
that was his middle name. He was asked
III he had ever been IN LEWIS anu 'tdih'
county and at first replied that he had
not been. but later said he came through
Helena on Monday and that he was on his
way to Salt Lake. He was asked II he had
ever been i'm Idaho and he said ne mad
not, but afterwards stated that he had
once been I'm Idaho Falls.
The fellow was locked up and the iteI-
ena officers were notified and one will
come to Butte to-day with some one to
Identify him IL he is the murderer. The
suspect looks like a quarter-breed ana
unauestionably has Indian blood in his
veins. He Is exactly ) feet 2 inches tail,
weighs about 1855 pounds looks to be about
Is years of age and has a thin growth OF
whiskers on his face. the growth not be-
ing more than two weeks old. however.
Only i'm that respect does he not quite fit
the description of the murderer. Reynolds
was supposed to nave been killed with the
object of robbery and his accumulated
savings were taken by the murderer. The
suspect arrested last evening did not
have a cent in his possession when search
ed. The only articles in his possession
was a hobo's toilet outfit, consisting of a
piece of soap and some paper. His cloth
ing corresponded i'm the main with the
description of the clothing worn by Allen
when last seen. A pair of pants belonging
TO the murdered man were carried on by
Allen. The man arrested last evening IN
formed Mr.. Murphy that he changed ms
pants at Helena.

phoned to Sheriff Davidson at Helena yes
