sailed from ST. Vincent nine days ago.
Although press reports have been pub

fleet has arrived at San Juan and off
Martinique, the department has heard
nothing from the American liners act
ting as scouts confirming such reports,
and the Consular officers of this Gov
ernment in the West Indies are silent.
The officers are under instructions to
report to the Department of State any
reliable information of the presence
of any Spanish men-ofWar.
