BATTLE on NIGH SEAS
WIN BE Given SPANS Atlantic Fleet by
AdmlraI sampson

WIN BE Given SPANS Atlantic Fleet by
Admiral Sampson.
Washington, May 5.-Spain's Allan
tic feet is not to be allowed to reach
Porto Rico or to approach the coast
of the United States.
Rear Admiral Sampson has perfected
plans for meeting the enemy on the
high seas and giving battle at a time
and place of his own choosing.
The successful issue of this battle
may depend in large measure upon the
Spanish admiral being kept in pro-
found ignorance of the intention of the
American commander, and being given
the least possible time in which to es-
cape or prepare for battle.
All that is definitely known here is
that the four most powerful ships in
Rear Admiral Simpsons command
the New York, the Indiana, the Iowa
and the Puritan-were ready for pro-
longed sea voyage. Their coal bunkers
were filed to their capacity and addi-
tional supplies of coal were carried in
bags on deck. Two Golfers carrying
5000 tons of coal were ready to accom-
pany them to sea- Reports that these
vessels have sailed eastward to meet
the Spanish ships have not been con-
f1rmed.
At the same time Commodore
Schley's squadron at Hampton Roads.
comprising the Brooklyn, the Massa-
chusetts and the Texas, with two col
Tiers carrying 5000 tons of coal, is
ready to sail at moments notice.
Swift auxiliary cruisers are securing
the ocean in search of the Spanish
The facts all point to the theory
that there is to be union of the
armored ships under Rear Admiral
Sampson with those under Commodore
Schley at a point in the ocean previ-
ously agreed upon, and that the scouts,
are to report to them their location
and the direction of the Spanish ships.
1t is not believed to be possible that
the Spanish ships will be able to avoid
all of the scouting vessels.

lous rumor circulated in N informed

The special correspondent Of the Daily

GOOD ADVICE FROM VIENNA.
'Competent Observer Warns Europe
Not to Burn Her Fingers
by MeddlfnH,

LONDON. July A.-The Vienna corre-
spondent Of the Times gives the views OF
competent observer" chiefly emphasize
ing ..the advisability of Europe preserving
the strictest neutrality and allowing Amert-
ca to settle her differences with Spain un-
hindered by foreign intervention
The competent observer says: "In this
case the traditional peace-loying elements
of the United States will prevail, and the
present war, with its desire for territorial
expansion. will remain a mere episode. not
affecting the future policy of the United
States.
ANY European meddling or ill-advised
attempt TO deprive them of the fruits of
victory would be likely to arouse the spirit
Of defiance and throw the high spirited
American people into the arms of the jim
goes. In that event the United States, pos
sessing all material resources, would be-
come a great military and naval power,
able an any moment to offer an alliance
to the highest bidder, disturbing the bal
ance of power in Europe and meuacing the
peace of the world. In short, on this ques-
tion hangs the decision whether America is
to acquire colonies or only coaling sta
tions."
