The retrial Of Senator Kenney far
alleged coNmpgacity In the robbery OF the
First National Bank OF Dover Is NOW
cleverly under Way IN the United
States Court. IT. is hoped that the
jury in the case win come to a conciu-
sion, and THAI a mistrial will not re-
SUIT. Senator Kenney and his law
yers and friends do not entertain any
fear Of a conviction. but they do fear
Ia Disagreement. They want an ac-
quitth1. for it is recognized that with
this effort the Federal authorities will
abandon their effort to convict, and Il
is not desirable THAI the question OF
the guilt OF Innocence Of the senator
should go undetermined. 1t is deplor-
able that the eaeerness Of the Regular
Republicans and Union Republicans to
stttle their factiona4 differences at the
expense OF the character and official
position of the senator should exist al
this time when calm deliberatlon, un-
BIASED by political prejudice, shou.t

THE DONS TU RN Till
The Spanish Armada is Three Thousand
Miles Away.
Changes in War Plans-American Fleet
May Invade Spain.

May 10--A cipher dispatch received
in London from Cadiz reports the re-
turn to that place of four cruisers,
one torpedo Doat and three topedo
boat destroyers, comprising, it is al
legged, part of the Cape Verde island
fleet
There is no confirmation of the re-
port that the fleet has returned to
Cadiz. but it is generally regarded as
the most likely movement to be made,
and as an indication that Spain has
decided to let her West Indian pos
sessions go.
Nothing was heard from Sampson
today, but there is confident expec-
tation that interesting news will be
coming from his squadron within the
next twenty-four hours. Whether
this means an attack on Porto Rico or
not cannot be learned.

is accepted that Spain's feet is not

within striking distance of Captain
Sampson, does not expect news of a
naval engagement soon, but looks for
ward to the bombardment of San
Juan tomorrow, it's capture shortly
afterward, and then, in rapid success
sion, the invasion of Cuba and the
dispatch of fleet to find the Spanish
navy, wherever it may be, and de-
stroy it.
This programme may be changed.
in case the Spanish fleet should ap-
pear in American waters, which, al
though improbable, is not out of the
question. Naval officials are not
wholly convinced, even by the SEEM
ingly authentic and official informa-
uiOn which came from Cadiz today, to
the effect that Spain's flying squadron
had arrived there, that West India
waters are not the ultimate, if not
the immediate destination, of the
squadron, and they feel that there
may yet be clash between the oppos-
ing squadrons on this side of the At
lantic, and are prepared for it.
1t is the evident design of the Span
iards to cloud their movements in un-
certainty, perhaps in order to take
American ships by surprise, and the
arrival of Spanish transports and am
munition supplies at Porto Rico in
the past few days, especially supplies
of coal, is regarded as confirmatory of
the suspicion that the Spanish ships
may soon put in an appearance. Their
arrival will be warmly welcomed by
the blue jackets under Sampson.
Should the Spanish determine to
avoid an engagement on sea, the
United States troops will be speedily
landed without interruption in Cuba,
probably at Mantanza. This is about
eighty miles from Havana As plan

within month. Blanco will be en-
