Washington, May 10. War plans have
again gone awry on account OF the close
proximity Of the Spanish squadron TO Gu
ban waters.
Deliberations today by the war board
as a result Of the definite location OF the
Spanish feet en- route northward from Mar
Unique, as first made known by the Her
aid brought about postponement OF the
plan of operations against Havana from
both land and sea.
The secretary of the navy today informed
General Alger that, owing to the proximity
of great naval battle, 1t would be i'm
possible for the navy to provide any con-
voys for the troops going TO Cuba. This.
Of course, makes it impossible for any
number Of men. no matter how small, to
go to Cuba until definite information has
been received from Admiral Sampson or
Commodore Schley that there is nothing
more TO fear from the Cape Verde fleet.
There is not the slightest possibility that
the invasion of Cuba will be made under a
week and in all probability it viii be a
much longer time before any action is
taken against Havana. There is even some
talk in a general way of putting off the
invasion until next fall. AT that time IL
might not be necessary, for there are great
hopes that II Admiral Sampson defeats the
Spanish fotila the war will be ended.

pected to leave Washington for the SOUTH

Key West. Fla, May 1S.--The torpedo
hoat Winslow, which was so badly cut up
in the action off Cardenas, was hauled
alongside Curry's wharf, this forenoon, and

the part of the crowds which have assem-
bled there.
AS to the orders which sent her to that
encounter. some well known lines from
Tennyson's poem, THE Charge of the

that a shell had struck the forward port
