ANOTHER FLYING SQUADRON.
The Yale VIII BE Equipped at Once with a
New Battery-American Auxiliary
Cruisers May Sail to Spain.

WASHINGTON, June 7.-Orders have
been sent to Newport News to equip
the Yale at once with Il battery of six
five-inch guns and 800 rounds of am
munition. The work is to be com
pleted by Saturday. 1t is said that
she will join the st. Louis in patrol
work, and no surprise need be ex-
pressed if these two vessels are shortly
reported to be cruising off the Spanish
coast, cndeavoring to learn anything of
value concerning Spanish movements,
which will be telegraphed to Washing
ton. The desire of the authorities to
arm without delay the auxiliary cruis-
ers of the American line is another in
dication of their intention TO put these
vessels in condition to be drafted into
flying squadron which may be dis
patched to Spanish waters when the
operations against Santiago and the
Spanish fleet are concluded.

Washington, d. C, June 4-1he
heroic achievement of naval con-
structor Hobson aud his crew of
seven men in running the gauntlet
of the Spanish guns and nines in
Santiago harbor and sinking the
collier Merrimsc just where it would
blockade the harbor channel, has
been the one absorbing topic in
naval circles to-day.
PRISONERS WILL BE EXCHANGED.
1t easily outranks any of the feats
OF daring of the war and makes it
impossible for the president and
congress to properly reward the
men who volunteered for what was
practically certain death. Until Ad-
miral Simpsons dispatch was re-
ceived this afternoon showing that
the eight heroes captured alive by
the Spaniards were being held and
treated as prisoners of war by Ad-
miral Cervera, there was much IN.
certainty concerning thier fate.
The president was deeply concern
ed and to all his visitors he an
nounced that if they were mistreated
swift retribution would be melted
out to all concerned. An exchange
of prisoners will now be negotiated
between Spain and the United
States and seven Of the Spanish
prisoners confined at Fort McPher-
son will be exchanged for the eight
daring men who have won substan-
tial promotion by their brilliant
achievement. There is no doubt
about the enc fast On the part of the
American commander. Corvera and
his ships sre now doomed to de.
struction. They can be dispatched
whenever the administration elects
to give Sampson the word to begin
the humiliation. 1t has been learn
ed that the war beard, which was il
