MOVEMENTS IN THE EAST.
The Asiatic Squadron Preparing fol
 the Philippine Demonstration.

Washington, March 17-The Post prints the following relative to the plans of the navy department in the event of war with Spain:
 The navy department is making every preparation to move upon the Philippine Islands as soon as hostili- ties begin. For this purpose the bat tleship Oregon has been ordered to sail immediately from San Francisco. The orders are kept secret, but the destina- tion of the vessel is evidently Hong Kong, to join the Asiatic squadron. When the Oregon reaches Hong Kong the naval forces on the Asiatic sta tion will consist of the Oregon, Olym- pia, Baltimore, Raleigh, Boston, Con- cord and Petrel, with a froce of 168 officers and POPS men, total much larger than Spain can place upon the sea in that section. It is possible, however, that land Notifications will have to be destroyed, and in that case every American sailor will have to fight as the Spanish have a large
 
 corvette Mohican sailed today from San Francisco with thirty-five tons of ammunition. This will be transfarre at Honolulu to the Baltimore, which will then hasten to Hong Kong
 While these movements are respect ing the operations of the navy in the east are in progress the situation on the Atlantic coast is commanding am pie attention The bureau of equip ment has made arrangements for the purchase of 225,000 tons of coal to be placed at easily accessible coaling sta tions. Work is to be pushed day and night upon the cruisers Charleston, Newark, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chi cago, and the gunboat Yorktown.
 At the Washington gun foundry three shifts of men, covering the en- tire twenty-four hours, are employed in hurrying work upon the guns neces- sary for the auxiliary cruisers and for vessels which are to be placed in com mission.

WILL BUILD BIG DRY DOCKS.
Huntin gton's Pet Idea to Be Carried
 Out at Newport News.

Newport News, Va, March 17.-As soon as working plans can be made work on the immense dry dock which Collis P. Huntington has decided to build at the ship yard here will be commenced. When finished it will perhaps be the largest dry dock in the world.
 The plans are being drawn up by Major Walter A. Post, an engineer of prominence, who is interested in the development of Newport News. While MT. Post has not yet given out the official dimensions of the dock, it has been learned that it will be ninety feet wide and of sufficient length to accom- modate two of the largest battleships af1oat at one time, and will be deep enough to easily take in vessels of the deepest draught
 This consummation of one of MT. Huntington's pet ideas has been sus- tainedby the war scare, the neces- sity for proper facilities for docking naval vessels being the opportunity. It is understood that MT. Huntington will receive no subsidy from the gov ernment.
 Tomorrow four batteries of artillery will leave Fort Monroe over the At lantic coast line for southern points Their places will be filled by recruits, who are being received daily, and by |.
 and forty large shells will be forward ed to Rock Hill N. J., from Fortress Monroe sometime tomorrow.

FOOD PROBLEM SOLVED.
COmmissary Department Could Easily
 Care for a Big Army.

New York, March 17.-Rumors were current today that the commissary de- partment of the army was making con- tracts for suplies to feed the large army which would probably be called into service the moment war with Spain was found inevitable
 missary department knows where SUD- plies can be had, and in any emergency will be prepared to feed all the troops that may be called into the field.
 Supplies of food in New York are so abundant that from this depot alone an army of 250,00O men could be fed, whether in Florida or Cuba. This statement is made on the authority of Lieutenant Colonel John F. Weston, chief cOmmissary of the New York depot of supply.
 Naval men thought today there would be no need of the army in case of a collision with Spain, excepting to man the guns in the forts and bat teries on the sea coasts. Army men do not take this view. They maintain that much of the work in case of wal would be done by the army, and one ol them said if there should be war at least 100000 men would be landed III Cuba to capture Havana.

WAR SCARE AFFECTS LEASING

Long Branch, N. J., March 17-The general discussion of the possibility of war with Spain has caused consider able uneasiness among many of the seashore residents, especially those who have summer cottages to let, as it has had a tendency to put somewhat of a damper on the leasing of them for the coming season. While several have already been rented, the demand up to the present time is far behind what it was at the same time last year.
 A number of the owners have writ ten to the tenants they had last season in regard to the hiring of their cot tages again for this season, and in a majority of cases varying excuses are given in reply for not accepting the offer this year.
 One of the most noticeable changes made during the winter in summer houses is in the one owned by Mrs Pullman, widow of George M. Pullman at Elberon. Mrs. Pullman has had g portion of the old cottage torn down and has expended about $20, ,00O in new structures.

In this case the navy would be use the water, but also in protecting the ships which would take food to Cuba to feed the invading army and the inn mense force which would join from the insurgents now in the field. This officer estimated that in case the Unit ed States invaded with 100000 men they should have to feed 250,O00.
 Colonel Weston said that from New York alone such a force could be fed full rations daily, with the exception of salt meat, which could be had in Chicago.

THE SHIP MARKET.
The Amazonas Will Fly American
 Colors Today

London, March 17.-According to a special dispatch from Sunderland, the United States government has pur- chased a torpedo boat destroyer from a shipbuilder named Doxford, of that place.
 The warship Amazonas will be for mally transferred to the United States tomorrow at Gravesend. Lieutenant Commander Colwell, United States naval attache here, will receive the ship from her Brazilian commander. A crew from the San Francisco will then be marched on board, the Bra gillian flag will be hauled down and the Brazilian sailors landed. The execu- tive officer of the San Francisco will probably take command of the Anna zonas and she will sail for the United States as speedily as possible under sealed orders.
 NO GREEK WARSHIPS.
 Athens, March 17.-An investiga- tion shows that there is no truth in the report in circulation that the United States has purchased some of the Greek warshipS.

New York, March 17.-A proclama- tion to the people of the United States was issued by Tomas Estrada Palma at his office of the Cuban junta to- night. In part it is as follows: "To the American People:
 ''The frequency with which there has lately appeared in the public press suggestions made by malicious or mis- informed Individuals that Cuba would accept or. should be forced to accept autonomy or anything short of inde- pendence, has impelled us to make a definite and final statement on this subject
 From the first our motto has been Independence or Death We are now more firmly than ever deter mined to carry out our programme As we will not accept we will not even discuss proposals of autonomy After three years of the most san guinary and uncivilized warfare of modern times. carried on by Spain, we are stronger than ever. It is for us to say what will satisfy us, not for oth- CTS. Our ideas of our national honor we can confide to the keeping of our- selves alone"

Senator Proctor's Description
 of the Horrors of Cuba
THE WILDEST IMAGINATION
Can Conjure up Nothing so
 Terrible aS the Truth
The Calm Dispassionate Senator Says That Nothing Yet Printed Has Adequately Described the Suffering Existing on the Island.

Washington, March 17. Senator Proctor Of Vermont, who returned last Sunday from an extended trip to and through the island of Cuba, this after of his observations on the island. The element of sensationalism had been studiously eliminated, and except so far as the facts recited were sensa- dence of an effort to arouse the public mind, already keenly alive to the con- ditiOn of affairs on the island. Calm and dispassionate to a notable degree, the utterances of the senator aroused breathless interest, particularly that part of his speech describing the deso- lation of the reconcentrados.
 Touching on this matter, Senator Proctor said: Deaths in the streets have not been uncommon. I was told by one of the coEsuls that they have been found dead about the markets in the morning where they had crawled, hoping to get some stray bits of food from the early hucksters, and that there had been cases where they had dropped dead inside the markets, sur rounded by food. These people were independent and self-supporting before Weyler's order. They are not even beggars now. There are plenty of pro fessional beggars in every town among the regular residents, but these coun- try people, the reconcentrados, have not learned the art.
 Rarely is the hand held out to you for aims when going among their huts, but the sight of them makes an appeal stronger than words.
 Of the hospitals I need not speak Others have described their condition far better than I can. It is not within the narrow limits of my vocabulary to portray it. I went to Cuba with a strong conviction that the picture had been overdrawn, that a few cases of starvation and suffering had inspired and stimulated the press correspond ents, and that they had given free play to strong, natural and highly culti- vated imagination. Before starting I received through the mail a leafiet published by the Christian Herald with cuts of some sick and starving recon centrados and took it with me, think ing these were rare specimens got up to make the worst possible showing.
 ''I saw plenty as bad and worse, many that should not be photo graphed and shown. I could not be- lieve that out of a population of 1,600,0 100000 had died within the Spanish forts, practically prison walls, within few months past from actual starvation and diseases caused by in sufficient and improper food My in- quiries were entirely outside of sensa- tional sources. They were made of our medical officers, of our consuls. of city mayors, of relief committees, of leading merchants, bankers, physicians S and lawyers. Several of my inform ants were Spanish born. but every time the answer was that the case had not been overstated. All I saw I can not tell so that others can see it. It must be seen with ones own eyes to be realized"

Report of the Court of Inquiry on the
 Way to Washington.

Washington, March 17.-The presi- of inquiry tomorrow or next day. It may even now be on it's way from Key West to Washington. The designed naval cipher code could not be relied on with complete satisfaction and at the presidents instance Admiral Si- card was directed to place the docu- ments in the custody of some naval officer according to the usual method and forward them to Washington in that manner.
 Whether the officer has started ol not is not yet positively known. It is not even known that the conclusions are final, but if the ordinary routine ot

 STAINS PRE-JUDGEMENT

Madrid, March 1.-The following semi official note was issued here to- day: "The return of the Spanish court of inquiry on the Maine disaster is not yet received, but several officers who made close examinations say it The American assertions to the con- trary are therefore deplored in official quarters as tending to mislead the public opinion and render the situa- tion still more difficult from the stand point of maintaining friendly relations between the two countries. It may be regarded as certain that should the American technical commission pre- sent a report declaring the disaster to be due to an external explosion the public here will refuse to accept such a finding and any demand for indem- nity based thereon will be indignantly denied by Spain.
 THE HARBOR WAS LOADED.
 New York, March 17-One of the ex- pelled newspaper core spondents from Havana prints a private letter which he says he was given a copy of by correspondent of a Spanish paper in Havana which was written by Weyler to the editor of a paper in Havana. It says in part: 'I have read these days that the Americans are pondering about sending one of their warships to that city. During my command in Cuba they did not even dare to dream about it. They knew the terrible pun ishment that awaited them. I had the harbor well prepared for such an emergency. I rapidly finished the work Martinez Campos carelessly abandoned. If the insult is made I hope there will be Spanish hand to punish it as terribly as it deserves
