occupy the Oregon about ten days only,
as she is in fine fettIe and av eraged
thirteen knots an hour on the long run
around from San Francisco.
However, it is believed that Admiral
Sampson is as well posted as any one
In Washington as to the conditions ex-
listing in the West Indies, and he
doubtless will do whatever is neces-
sary in his judgment to safeguard the
ship in her run up the coast.
MILLION SPENT.
During the past month the bureau
of construction and repair of the navy
department spent one million and a
quarter dollars in the repair and out
fitting Of ships, and none Of this money
went to new construction. This is said
to be the largest expenditure in this
particular line made by the equipment
bureau, even during the days of the
Civil war.
OFFER DECLINED.
The. navy department felt obliged to
decline the offer made by some wealthy
New York gentlemen, headed by o. H.
P. Belmont, to build and equip a tor
pedo boat for the use Of the govern
ment during the war. Possibly the
declination was brought about through
the conditions attached to the offer.
that the boat should be commanded by

me mystery or Spafn's Fleet Not
YettCIeared Up.
LONDON. May 1.-THE mystery as
to the present whereabouts of SPANS
+ Cape Verde feet: is not yet cleared UP.
The official announcement from Madrid
that the fleet Is still at sea Is still &C
cepted with great reserve, and the
story that it is at Cadiz preparing for
a dash on Manila is openly secuted.
The fleet may be at Cadiz, but if it is
1t will probably stay there unless COM
PEELED by popular clamor to assume
the offensive.
A special dispatch from Cadiz says
that last Saturday there were in the
harbor there the following Spanish war
ships:
Oquendo. Vizcaya, Maria Teresa, Cristobal
Colon, Alfonso KILL, Pluton, Proserpine,
Audaz, Furor and Terror; also several tor
pedo boats, transports and the Normannia
and Columbia, formerly of the Hamburg
American line which have been named Pa
triotia and RaIedo, respectively
This list, it will be noted, comprises
the reserve squadron which is said to
have been at Cadiz and the Cape Verde
fleet tn
The remainder of the Spanish de-
stroyers, except the Temerario and the
Destructor, reported to have been lost
by explosion, are on the home station
near the Straits Of Gibraltar. These
are the Osado and Proserpina. In adj
dition. there are thirteen large torpedo
boats reported in service in the same
waters. There are eight other torpedo
gunboats on the home station not re-
! ported in active service.
1t is not believed that four Of the best
ships are in condition for a. conflict.
The armored cruiser Carlos ". being
completed at Havre, was obliged to
leave without her eleven-inch guns,
and the other vessels are nearly all
| undergoing repairs.

FATAL FOR FIVE.
Gas Explosion I'm a Tunnel at CIeve
land.

CLEVELAND, O.. May n.-Ten men were
injured by an explosion of gas today in tie
new water works tunnel under the lake.
The diggers were $500 feet from shore.
The explosion was caused by one Of the men
striking match to light his pipe. Instant
ly there was a binding fash of flame, and a
terrific roar, filling the tunnel with smoke and
binding the diggers. An alarm was at once
sent to the power house on shore and a re-
lief expedition was organized among the other
workmen for rescue of their comrades.
Blackened, blinded and stunned, the in
jured men were carefully transported to the
shaft and thence conveyed by ambulance to
hospitals.
Three of the injured men died this evening.
They are Michael Loveln, James Anderson
Degrade and Thomas Corrlgan, are expected
to die before morning.

perhaps hidden torpedo or mine.
"It strikes me that with several ad-
vantageous fortified positions the pre-
ronderance of advantage was with the
enemy, and that with the great daring
displayed by Dewey there must fall
upon his shoulders the mantle of Perry
and Farragut
From the meager accounts that have
been received Of the battle it Is evil
dent that, despite the great risk every
officer and every man knew was being
taken, there was not a faint heart in
all that squadron, but an enthusiasm
and esprit de corps that could not but
win with such leader. I would note,
too, that superior education, which
brings intelligence, coupled with per-
lection in craftsmanship, aided great
ly in winning the day and will be-
lieve, contribute to future victories.
Admiral Dewey and every man in his
squadron deserves every recognitioIl
that a grateful people and a nation
can beStow."
ORDERS EXPECTED.
The news Of the return Of the Span
ish fleet to Cadiz put new life into the
squadron officers today. While they
have recognized that the strategy
board had made them a splendid fac
tor in the war by the enforced stay
here, and realizing that their presence
on the coast has been the direct cause
of the return Of the Spanish squadron
to it's own ports, they have chafed at
their idlenesS and the possible termi-
nation Of the war before they moved.
Today the general belief is that the
history Of Nelson will be repeated. and
as the battle of Manila parallels the
victory of Nelson on the Nile, so Span
ish indignation as in the day Of Nelson
may force the Spanish fleet to sea and
the Trafalgar be repeated.
Every officer is now encouraged to
believe that Commodore Schley will be
allowed to display his skill and daring
in active battle.
The New Orleans finished coaling to-
day and is ready for sea. An assistant
passed engineer and two cadet engd-
neers arrived here today and Joined
the Brooklyn, and it is believed that
these are significant facts indicating
an early movement Of the squadron.
Capt. Higginson, Of the Massachu-
sets, tried his new automatic Maxim
one-pounder today with great success.
| On all the ships today fire and collis-
sion drills and general call to quarters,
practically battle drill occurred.
Commodore Schley watched all the
ships carefully, and expressed himself
| as well satisfied.
The New Orleans tried her big guns
today, and her officers reported to
Commodore Schley that they were
| well pleased with the working Of them.

THREE REGIMENTS STARTED
On Their Way From Chickamauga
to the Coast.

On Their Way Fro>. Chickamauga
to the Coast.
CHICKAMAUGA, Ca, May 1.-THE
orders received at the headquarters Of
Gen. Brooke did not have rush features,
hence only three regiments of cavalry
left today. The orders, however, are
that all troops must go to the coast by
the latter part Of the week.
The Third and Sixth cavalry had ev-
erything packed and ready this morn
Ing by o'clock, when the tents of the
camp were struck and loaded into the
wagons in an incredibly short time.
There was no hitch in the arrange
ments, and this move has demonstrat-
ed to the officers in charge that in case
OF an emergency many thousand troops
could be moved from the park prompt
ly and with comfort. Gen. S. S. Sum-
ner Is in command of the two regi-
ments; Col. Vessel commanded the
Third, Col. Young having been promot-
ed to the position Of brigadier general,
and Lieut.. Col. Carroll commanded the
Sixth. Both regiments left the park
before the pay car, which arrived to-
Gay. reached the park.
Later in the day the Third cavalry
marched to Rossvilie, Ca. where they
were loaded during the afternoon on
board the cars of the Southern rail-
road for Tampa.
A rumor prevailed today that these
troops were to be sent through to Key
West, but this was denied at the head
quarters Of Gen. Brooke, who stated
that they would go to Tampa. The
Second cavalry, scheduled to Mobile,
left this. afternoon. These were the
only troops to leave today.
The First and Tenth cavalry are nm.
der orders to leave before. Friday They
VIII also go to Tampa, instead of New
Orleans, as was expected at first, no.
tlce to this effect having been received
by Gen. Brooke today.
The Second, Seventh and Sixteenth
Infantry will leave tomorrow lThurs-
day. and the Eighth and Twelfth in
fantry will probably not get off before
Saturday. All go to Tampa except the
Second cavalry, which goes to Mobile.
Late this afternoon an order was
issued from Gen. Brookes headquarters
to the commanding officers Of the cav
airy regiments just before leaving their
loading stations to notify Gen. Wade
at Tampa Of their exact leaving time,
closing by saying: ''Both brigades of
cavalry will be forwarded at once to
Key West from Tampa
Maj. Dodds, senior officer; Maj.
Charles Mcclure, Maj. W. F. Tucker
and Maj. George R. Smith, of the pay
masters department, arrived today with
the pay train and all the men in the
camp received their monthly compensa-
ton. The amount paid out was in the
neighborhood of 100000.
Gen. Joseph Wheeler arrived today
and reported to Gen. Brooke for duty.
1t Is stated tonight that Gen. Wilson
will report Saturday. There seems to
be some question as to whether Gen.
Lee is coming to this point, no orders
to that effect having been received at
Gen. Brooke's headquarters.
