quested the Secretary of the Interior to

mitment of insane persons to the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane. so that such
commitments should not be too great a
burden on the District OF Columbia. This
matter was referred to the board of WISH
tors of the Government Hospital for the
insane and bill to change the proceed
lEgs for admission to that hospital mas been
drawn up and transmitted to Senator Nc
MILAN.

aohlitted TO that hospital by petition pre-

Notwithstanding this conservative ten

factor. Operations for the decline were
esq ecialy pronounced in Sugar and To-

FLEETS HAVE NOT MET.
The Navy Department Gives Out
Nothing About Their Location.

There has been no meeting yet between
the hostile fleets in the neighborhood of
Cuba. That was all that could be learned
this morning at the Navy Department. If
the department is aware of the where
abouts of the Spanish squadron, it is care
fully concealinS the fact. BY this. time
supposing Schley to have gone southwark
he should be somewhere off the coast of
Cuba, having sailed from Charleston Sun
day evening. 1t may be that he has joined
forces with Sampson, who is probably be-
tween Cuba and Haiti, guarding the Wind
ward Passage. The naval officers are
hoping that the Spanish squadron has real
ly passed through the Straits of Yucatan
into the Gulf of Mexico for in that case
there is a reasonable expectation that by
combined action on the part of Sampson
and Schley, one starting at the Windward
Passage and the Florida straits, and the
other passing around the south of Cuba
and coming into the Yucatan straits, the
Spanards will be effectually shared.
The officers of the department are I'M
able to account for the reports coming
from several ports in the gulf and the
waters in the vicinity of Haiti that there
was heavy cannonading Sunday in that
vicinity, for there is no report yet of an
dctioi. anu no American SHIPS are known
to have been in the localities named
