COAL FOR SPANISH SHIPS.
A Vessel Flying the Norwegian
Flag to Supply the Fleet.

LONDON, May "a = The Daily
Chronicle" publishes the following with
reserve:
A vessel flying the Norwegian flag
and showing Norwegian papers has
been fitted up in London as a coal hulk
on an elaborate scale. She has been
fitted from one end to the other with
electric lights, and has been altered
from stem to stern to receive coal in
large quantities.
Some days ago she was cleared by the
Norwegian Consul in London, and pro-
ceeded to Cardiff, where she will take
on 3. 800 tons of coal. Then she will be
loaded. the information goes, for a neu-
tral port, and proceed in tow of a tug
to Cape Verde to act as a receiving
hulk to which Spanish war vessels will
go for coal She will tie up in a bay
off the African mainland where her
presence will be unnoticed and will be
refilled from time to time by fast steam
ers coming from various Continental
ports

PORT AU PRINCE HaytD, May "a.
| copyrighted, 1898, by the Associated
Press-According to current rumor
here the Spanish Cape Verde squadron,
commanded by Admiral Cervera, which
arrived recently at Santiago de Cuba,
subsequently sailed from that port, des-
tInation unknown.
A local newspaper, the "Matin," says
that Rear Admiral Osborne of the Brit
ish navy who left New York on Sun
day on board a Dutch steamer, saw at
Caracoa a Spanish squadron composed
of five cruisers and five torpedo boat
destroyers or torpedo boats. The Span
ish officers are reported to have said
they would not accept a battle unless
with an equal number of ships, and
that they would avoid encountering su-
peIior numbers. IA
Admiral Osborne did not consider the
Spanish squadron to be in any way
formidable
The last news received here from
Havana was that the Cuban Govern
ment had decided to admit coal and
provisions free of duty.

BLOCKADE OF CUBA.
Blanco Reports Nineteen American
Warships Before Havana.

| MADRID May PA dispatch re-
ceived here from Havana says:
Secret orders have been given to Ad-
miral Cervera as to what course to
pursue in the event of the Americans
attempting to cut communication be-
tween Cuba and Spain.
Americans continue to occupy posi-
tions outside of Havana, Cienfuegos,
Cardenas and Santiago de Cuba. There
are now nineteen American warShips
before Havana.
1t is reported that the Spanish Gov
ernment has purchased a vessel to be
used as an armed cruiser.
AS cabIed to the Associated Press
from Bremen yesterday, the North
German Lloyd steamer Havel had been
sold to a firm at Hamburg, and sailed
yesterday, presumably for the Medi-
terranean. The purchasers, it was
added, do not appear to be shipowners.
A report was current last week that
the Havel has been sold on account of
the Spanish Government She is a

10 knots in passages between New York

LONDON, May PA special dis
patch from Madrid to-day says:
Evidently the programme in regard
to the Philippine Islands has been
changed 1t is believed that there will
be no immediate engagement in Cuban
waters, but that Admiral Cervera will
draw off the enemy while the Cadiz fleet

val movements has been very strictly
observed now for couple Of weeks,
but not so strictly that it did not he
come known here that Commodore
Schley got away from Key West a little
sooner than Admiral Sampson. If it
was but half day sooner he ought to
have been able, with his swi1test ships,
to reach Santiago de Cuba on Saturday.
1t is assumed that he did so by those
who conclude that the department had
sent him to look for the Spanish feet
where it was last heard of. 1t is be-
lieved that Schley went south of Cuba
by the Yucatan passage.
Naval officers assume that everybody
is now familiar with the formation of
Santiago harbor, and the disadvantage
in which a fleet would be placed that
retired into it to await the coming of
an opponent Few of them believe
that Cervera has attempted this course.
They incline to the opinion that he
went toward Martinique to meet col
liers sent over to provide him with the
fuel he must now need. and perhaps
be joined by some of the vessels often
reported at Cadiz or some other Span
ish port, but which some conservative
naval officers are firmly convinced
may have been on their way across the
Atlantic to re-enforce him This last
possibility viii not spoil the chance, now
+ seemingly good, of an early fight.
/ Very prominent naval officers who
to-day talked with members of the ad-
ministration expressed very decidedly
the view that Admiral Cervera had
neither sufficient skill nor coal to es-
cape the conflict which Sampson and
+ Schley are seeking.
A gentleman who is not connected
with the navy, but who is very much
interested in seeing it do its work
well, says that it is mistake to sup
pose that the naval strategic board has
trammeled Sampson or Schley, or both,
with conflicting or embarrassing ord
ers. practically" said this gentle
man, Admiral Sampson has had his
own way in all that he has done. 1t he
returned to Key West Wien Cervera
was at Curacao. knowing that he must
return to find him, he did so for rea-
son that seemed imperative to him"

General Julio Sanguilly whose release
was wrung from Weyler during the

were piles of boxes containing no less
than 10000 Springfield rifles with
enough ammunition of the right calibre
to make them effective There were

These arms will enable General Garcia
for whom they are destined, to not
only equip 10000 additional troops. but
to supply his own men with the ammu-
milton for which they have been in
such urgent need He will also be
able to form and equip several bat
teries of light artillery with rapid-fire
guns-a weapon which has always
proven effective in the hands of the in
surgents.
Besides the large consignment of
/
ried supplies of food clothing and med
icine for the insurgent army There
were also seventy-fve mules for the
formation Of pack trains to carry the
supplies from the coast.

tinued the inspection of the divisions Of

fortunately there are very few sick,

General Breckenridge stated tonight
that he would be unable to complete his
inspection at as early date as he ex-
pected; that only small percentage of
the men had been equipped and pre-
pared for war, but that his work was
progressing as rapidly as possible.
General Breckenridge thinks that in
view Of the fact that almost every regi-
ment in camp had to be equipped al
most completely, the progress made
was remarkable.

vera and hoping to come up with and
tight him. Whether it will be at Santi-
ago, Cienfuegos or somewhere between
these points, or at San Juan de Porto
Rico, not the most speculative expert
will venture to say.
Meantime there is some discussion
among naval officers about the actions
of the fleet of Admiral Sampson that
suggests a spirit of criticism. Naval
officers who have the highest respect for
the men who are supposed to have de-
signated the plan Of campaign for the
United States fleet are openly express
ing wonder that Admiral Sampson was
permitted to travel all the WY from
San Juan to Key West, to consume a
great deal Of coal, and then to coal
again merely to sail back over the
course he had just traversed. His per
sonal inclination, it is believed, would
have led hi INTO remain in the Wind
ward Passage, holding a position OF
great strategic advantage, until his
scouts brought him news of the pres
ence Of the enemy, and many Officers
believed him to be there after he had
returned to Key West.
To the suggestion made to these Off
GERS with Washington authorities did
not know the Spanish fleet was at Mar
Unique until Sampson was fairly on
his return trip, the unofficial strategist
answers that the Navy Department
knew a week ago that Cervera was 1T
Curacao; that it had at its command
two or three swift vessels that could
have stopped Sampson before he had
come half way on his return, and that
colHers could have been provided to
take coal to him, and that he might
thus have been able to intercept the
Spanish fleet on its way to Santiago
harbor
As it was, Admiral Sampson left Key
West the day the news was received
there from Washington that Cervera
had arrived If the news of SIMPSONS
departure worked its way to Rlanco. he
probably sent it by Wire to Santiago
the next day. and Admiral Cervera was
afforded a chance to move out and le-
new his explorations in the Caribbean
Sea
But the Navy Department will forget
the waste Of time by Admiral Sampson
If it learns tomorrow or next day that
he has arrived at Santiago and found
Admiral Cervera still there When he
started from Key West last Thursday
he had to steam 700 miles to reach
Santiago. At a tenknot pace ne should
have made the distance in three days
