NEW YORK. May 2l.-A washington
dispatch to the Times says: Nswsfrosn
Admiral Sampson and conmPdorei
schley Is looked for at the navy depart
ment every hour, but no one at the de-
partment appears TO be able or willing to-
say Just where the news Is to come from.
All that can be positively ascertainei
there IL ,tiatthe United States fleets arc
somewhere out OF Key West looking for
Admiral Cervera and hoping TO come up
with and fight him. Whether II Will DO
at Santiago, at Gentuagos, or eofne-
where between. these two points or at
San Juan de Porto Rico not the most
speculative expert Will venture III say.
Meantime there 10 some discussion
among naval officers about the actions
OF the, fleet OF Admiral Sampson that
suggests a spirit OF criticism Naval
officers who have the highest respect Tor
the men who are supposed to have de-
signed the plan nf campaign for the
United States fleet are openly express
Ing wonder that Admiral Sampson was
permitted to travel all the way from San
Juan to Key West, to consume a great
deal OF coal, and tfen TO coal again
merely to sail back uverf the course he
had Just traversed. Ills personal In
cNnntior, It Is believed, would have led
him to remain In the Windward pas
sage, holding a position OF great strate-
gio advantage until his scouts brought
him news OF tho presence of the enemy,
and many officers believed him to be
there after he had returned to Key West.
To the suggestion made to these OH
GERS that the Washington authorities
did not know the Spanish feet wa at
Martinique until Sampson was fairly on
his return trip, the unofficial strategtst
answers that the navy department knew
q week ago that Cerverh was at Cura-
Gao; that It had at Its command two or
three swift vessels that could have stop
ped Sampson before he had come half
way on his return and that GOLFERS
could have been provided to take coal
to him, and that he might thus have
been able to intercept the Spanish fleet
on Its way to Santiago harbor. AS It
was, Admiral Sampson left Key Yves.
the day the news was received there
from Washington, that Cervera had ar
rived. II the news OF Simpsons der
parture worked Its way to Blanco he
probably sent 1t by wire to Santiago the
next day and Admiral Cervera was af-
forded a chance to move out and renew
his explorations OF the Caribbean Sea-
But the navy department will forget
the waste Of time by Admiral Sampson
II 1t learns Tomorrow or next day that
he has arrived at Santiago and found
Admiral Cervera still there. When he
started from Key West last Thursday
he had to steam 100 miles TO reach San
tiago. At a ten knot pace he should
have made the distance in three days.

nave, however, struck something new,
having gone into the pigstlcking BUSH
ness in the latter state. They have
already been carrying on operations for
year, and have realized such a good,
~ profit from their first years business
that they are going into it this year
on'a much larger scale. Both the young
women who have started out in this
novel undertaking have always held
high social positions and been great IA
Vorites. Their respective families are
well off in this worlds goods and ap-
parently there has been no reason why
either Of them should be obliged to
work Everything in connection with
the business has been carried on quietly
in Kentucky. The young women have
taken the entire charge Of the business
and have personally superintendent the
buying Of the pigs as we'll as the dis
posal Of them. They have developed
remarkable business ability and their
knowledge is thought of great value
even by experts in the business. Both
the young women are averse to talking
about what they have accomplished.
but on good authority it is stated that
they cleared $1,000 apiece last year 1t
is said this year already the profits are
larger in proportion than for the same
time last year and there are many or
ders ahead Be that as it may, neither
Miss Woolley nor Miss Ordway has
seen fit to relax in the least the con-
slant supervision of their undertaking
They have not felt called upon to
leave home or turn their backs upon
society, but attend to their business as
a business man would, devoting so
many hours to it each day and arrang-
ing their affairs that they are able to
take a holiday for a month or six
weeks in summer. By those who know
them it is said that the accounts are
kept by the women themselves, and the
entries are most mysterious. while the
system Of bookkeeping is one that has
never yet been made public.
