WILL HUNT NO MORE.
Troops Will Be Sent to Cuba Without
Further Delay.
Will Capture the Cape Verde Fleet
Before Long.
LII MOVEMENTS HIDDEN

The Associated Press announces
that the government will hunt the
Cape Verde fleet no longer, but, while
keeping a sharp lookout for the Span
ish vessels, will prosecute the war in
Cuba at once with the utmost vigor.
To this end, Sampson and Schley
have been ordered to return to Cuban
waters to assist in the Cuban inva-
sion.
Three times has a date for the land
invasion been planned and as often
abandoned to await the result of a
battle on the waters. This will be
done no longer.
THE SPANIARD CANNOT ESCAPE
FIGHT.
The strategy board is confident that
it will be able to prevent the escape
of the Spanish feet from the Carib-
bean sea, and that Admiral Cevera
will be compelled to fight Sampson
and Schley together. There is some
belief that the Spaniards may deter
mine to run not for home, but in any
direction that may still further vex

NOT ANXIOUS ABOUT THE OREe
AMONG GOODS THIS WEEK.

Assurance is given today by a naval
officer not of the war board that the
navy department is not at all anxious
about the safety of our vessels. The
impression given is that the OregOn's
route has been selected for her and
that it takes her quite out of the
reach of the Spanish cruisers, unless
the latter should separate from the
vessels upon which they must depend
for support.
But so secretive are the naval off,
GERS that the assurance that the Ore
gon is in no particular danger is all
that can be obtained from the best
informed. They say that no more
news about her need be looked for so
far as the navy department is con-
cerned until she has Joined Admiral
SIMPSONS fleet.
In pursuance of a wise policy, which
should have been adopted from the
outset, the war and navy departments
have determined that hereafter no
intelligence of any kind whatever re-
lating to the movements OF the land
and naval forces shall be given for
publication. and in consequence of
this new policy, nothing whatever
could be obtained Yesterday at the
navy department about the move
ments of the fleets of AdmiralS Samp-
son and Schley.
1t is certainly to be hoped that
there is no thought on the part of the
government of poStponing, much less
abandoning, for any reason, the inva-
sion of Cuba. The occupation of the
island, by whatever force may be nee
essary to take and hold it, is of the
first Importance. The taking of POr-
to Rico and the Philippines, while
desirable, is really a secondary cOnSld-

Grafton. The main object of the war
is the establishment of a safe, free
/ and friendly Cuba.
To this object of the occupation of
! Cuba, the people desire that the ener-
gieS of the army, as well as the navy,
shall be bent. The people have con-
| tidence in the ability of the navy to
look after the Spanish fleet, now
somewhere in the Caribbean sea, to
maintain the blockade of Cuba and
to cover the landing of American
troops in sufficient force to overcome
any resistance and to hold all the
ground they occupy. 1t is the belief
of the people that Cuba can be quite
as we'll defended from the inside as
attacked from the outside. With the
occupation of every Cuban port, the
blockading force may be diminished
and the vessels be employed in other
service.
The speedy occupation of Cuba will
test at once the relative strength of
coDtending parties. If the United

time, the force in our hands should be
used. The latest project announced
of raising and employing colOred regi-
ments should be carried out. With
four regiments of regular cOlOred
troops employed, there seems to be no
reason why colored volunteer regi-
mentS should not be. If a black man
and citizen may fight for his country
in the uniform of the regular army,
he may don the garb of the volunteer.
Nine millions of Americans. regard
less of complexion, should bear their
part in their country's defense.
There is no general disposition to
censure the government for slowneSs
or lack of energy. There is, however,
what NAV be called a propensity in
some quarters to belittle the power of
the United States, and, it is believed,
to eXaggerate that of the enemy. The
people are ready to answer every de-
mand, and only desire to know what
is the requisItion. They wish to know,
for instance, how strong Spanish Cuba
is and how strong is the force neceS-
sary for its conquest. The sooner
that question is settled the BETTER

Senator. You couldn't do II"
Hardly were the words out or MS
mouth when Senator Stewart grasped
him firmly about the body and lightly
tossed him over his shoulder, much to
the skeptic's astonishment. Senator
Stewart attributes his fine physical
condition to the outdoor life he mas
always led. In the early days in Cal
