spoke yesterday of the apparent desire
on the part Of spectators to get into
the low-priced securities. This inclina-

from the grangers and other gilt-edged

WASHINGTON, May 49, The complete
isolation of General Blanco from the
outside world is now looked upon by
leading military and naval authorities
as al essential move to be executed at
the earliest possible moment. The
pressing need of this has become more
evident within the last few days since
General Blanco is known to have been
in constant cable communication with
the admiral of the Spanish squadron
and also with Madrid. The officials
have with much labor figured out all
the various means by which General
Blanco can keep up his communities
ton. They are satisfied that the
through cables running TO Santiago are
the routes from which all the various
branches spring, and if this triple
root is cut, the entire system of COM
munication between Cuba and the ont
sde world will be at an end.
Santiago is not a strongly fortified
town, and it is believed there would be
little danger attending the cutting of
the cable at that point.

Long said: 1t can be said positively
and officially that the Oregon is safe,
but it cannot be properly made known
where she is.
WASHINGTON, May 10. There has
been no meeting yet between the fleets
IN the neighborhood of Cuba. That
was all that could be learned at the
navy department. If the department
is aware of the location of the Spanish
squadron, it is carefully concealing the
fact. BY this time, surprising Schley
to have gone southwark, he should be
somewhere off the coast of Cuba, and
it may be he has Joined forces with
Sampson. Naval officers are hoping
that the Spanish squadron has really
passed through the straights of Yuca.
tan into the gulf of Mexico for in that
ca there is a reasonable expectation
1h,t by combined action en- the part of
Sam son and Sehley, one starting at
the Windward passage and the Florida
to the south of Cuba and coming into
the Yucatan straits the Spanial DIS will
be effe, tually shared.
The officers Of the depart ment are
unable to account for the reports COM
ing from several ports in the gulf and
waters in the vicinity of Hayti, that
there was heavy cannonading Sunday
in that vicinity for there is no report
yer Of an action and no American ships
are known to have been i'll the locali-
ties named.
Believe the Oregon Safe.
The safety of the Oregon is well nigh
assured, and there is reason to believe
that the department has been informed
that she has joined SIMPSONS feet,
though no official information on this
point has yet been made. 1t is believed
that the big battleship left Bahia.
Brazil, on the night of. the 10th or the
morning of the 18th. The same aver
age speed on the way made around
Cape Horn would place her in the
Windward passage. II this belief is
well founded the department will be
relieved of great load of apprehen.
sion, and it will be able to proceed at
once to the prosecution OF plan of
campaign at first very desirable, but
impossible Of execution SO long as the
safety of the Oregon was at stake.

Said Military and Naval OfficiaIs VIII
Hasten the Campaign for
That Reason.
WASHINGTON, May l9.-The official
bulletin boards tailed to yield any news
of the movements of either of the three
heets-Sampson's, Schley's and the
Spanish flying squadron-and there is
reason to believe that the department
itself has received no information on
that point.
The department officers are begin
ming to show little sensitiveness to
criticism in the matter Of delay in
bringing the Spanish fleet into action,
conscious as they are that they have
made all dispatch com patibie with due
regard for the safety of our own ports,
our warships. Every day there is talk
of change in the naval plans brought
about by some
Movement of the Span sh Squadron
but what the latest phase OF campaign
is nobody outside of the members of
the war board is competent to say.
The general impression is that no par.
ticular effort is to be made just now to
pursue the Spaniards SO long as they
keep within the confines of the Gulf OF
Mexico and the Caribbean sea, but that
Sampson and Schley in combination
will encircle the island Of Cuba, main
tain the blockade and convoy troops
across the Florida straits if necessary,
meanwhile simply keeping watch on
the Spanish flying squadron to see that
it does no mischief, either to the Amer.
lean feet or, by escaping into the At.
lantic, to the sea board cities. By this
plan the military and naval officials
might hope to silence the
Rather Severe Critic SINS
that are being expressed because of de-
lays in opening the military campaign
in Cuba itself. Considerable pressure
has come upon the administration from
congressional quarters to have the CAM
paign fastened, and there are Thought
to be signs of a resumption OF the plans
of the military leaders Tor the invasion
of Cuba at the point where they were
suddenly suspended by the announce
ment OF the arrival of the Spanish fly
ing squadron at Martinique. At army
headquarters there was 10 sign of i'm
mediate departure OF General Miles,
but in view of the fact that every thing
has been prepared tor a movement to
Tampa it may be presumed that every
thing is in trim for departure on short
notice without open manifestation OF
preparations.
