CERVERA DECLINES.
An Invitation to Visit Hobson's Home
Saws That It Will be Impossible.

Mobile, Ala, August Gu response
to an invitation extended in the name of
the people of Greensboro, Ala, to visit
Lieutenant Hobson's home, Admiral Ger
vera writes under date of August I'd,
saying:
thank you very much, and also the
citizens of Greensboro, for the kind ex-
pressions contained in your letter, and
you will allow me to say that it is l who
should render thanks--which l do with
the greatest pleasure-for the kind and
generous treatment which am receiving
at the hands of 1.-THE American people. 1t
would, be very gratifying to me to accept
your invitation to visit Greensboro, where
was born the brave Lieutenant Richmond
Pearson Hobson, but it will be impossible
for me to do go, for as soon as the war is
ended it will be obligatory upon me to
return Immediately to Spain to account
for my conduct, which must be judged as
provided for by the law.
Nevertheless, 1 shall not fail to carry
through all my life the remembrance of
such brave officers as Lieutenant Hobson,
and also the hattering invitation rendered
me by the city of his birth.

More Ships for Dewey.

Washington, August S.-Within 8
weeks time, it is the programme of the
Administration to detach a number of
the vessels from the North Atlantic squad
ron and send them to home navy yards
for reftting and repairs. This announce
ment, made several days ago, is reiterated
by the Navy Department. The statement
is added that as soon as practicable, ADJ
miral Dewey's squadron at Manila will be
heavily reinforced by number of ships
which have been under Admiral Samp-
sons command. The reinforcing squad
ron will consist of at least one battle ship
of the first class, probably the Oregon, and
several protected cruisers. 1t 10 the con-
fident expectation of the Administration
that within week spain reply to the pre-
iminary demands of the United States
will render it unnecessary to maintain 30
large fleet in Cuban and Porto Rcan
waters. Acquiescence by Spain in the
evacuation of both Cuba and Porto Rico
would remove the chief reason for the
presence of the North Atlantic squadron.
The work of diplomacy will then be trans
ferred to the Philippine Islands as lis OBJ
iect, and a number of vessels can be spared
to be added to Admiral Dewey's command
at Manila, and which will make it large
enough to meet any emergency which may
subsequently, arise in the Yincinity Of Ma
Mia Bay.

Want to Garrison Santiago.

Chicago, Aug. S.-Yellow fever has no
terrors for the Canadian-Amerlcan Le-
gion, and its officers and men are eager
to fill the places of those driven from the
front by the plague. Most of the NEIL in
the regiment, including Lieutenant Colo
mel Baynes, acting commander, are fever
immunes, having served her British Maj
esty in Egypt, India, South America, and
been in the West Indies. At a meeting of
the officers today the following telegram
was drawn up and despatched to Gov.
Tanner:
1.-THE Canadian-American Legion vol
unteers to relieve troops at Santiago.
Large proportion of our officers and men
are immunes. Only latter expected to
volunteer. Can fill vacancies with white
immunes in few days. Please offer our
regiment to the Washington authorities.
GEORGE A. BAYNEs."
Col. Baynes is doctor, and it is said to
be partly due 10 his scientific knowledge
of sanitation that his men are willing to
20 with him to face fever. The regiment
is eager to get into the field, and this is
recognized as the only way its desire can
be fulfilled.
"Our ranks have suffered somewhat by
tbs recruiting done by Mississippi and In
diana" said Col. Baynes, "but we will
have no trouble in filling them. Recruits
are now being received at our staff head
quarters, and even those of our men who
have not had the fever are anxious to go
to Cuba

THE NAVY WHEN PEACE COMES.
There VIII Probably be Redistribution
of the Whole Force.

Washington, Aug. eff the Navy De-
partment contemplates any further change
in the composition of the eastern squadron
which was destined for Spanish waters, the
matter has not taken form as yet. This
statement applies to the commanders OF
the ships of this squadron, as well as to the
ships themselves, and the talk of sending
Admiral Sampson in charge of this eastern
squadron, consequently is rather specua..
tive at this time. OF course, it is we'll I'M
derstood that in the event peace is re-
stored there must be complete reorgani-
zatlan and redistribution of the United
States naval forces and this will involve
undoubtedly the separation Of the four
naval commanders of high rank now on
duty in connection with the North Allan
tic fleet; namely, Admiral Sampson, Com
modore Watson, Commodore Schley and
Commodore Howell.
The North Atlantic fleet comprises about
hundred vessels, the most numerous and
powerful force ever commanded by an
American admiral. Such gigantic force
would not be maintained on one station in
time of peace. Many of the auxiliary
vessels and the monitors which are unfit
for general cruising, will be returned from
commission and laid up in the navy yard,
or, in case of the former, will be sold.
A sufficient force of the remaining YES
sells will be retained on the North Atlantic
station to maintain it as the most impor-
tant naval command. The others are to
be distributed between various other sta
tons, Pacific, Asiatic and South Atlantic.
The European station, which was vacated
completely just prior to the declaration of
war, will be rehabiitated.
But with the exception of the Eastern
squadron, the North Atlantic fleet is not
to be diminished as long as the war con-
tinues. More clearly than ever it is now
perceived to be the strong arm of the coun-
try, and the naval officials are congratu-
lating themselves that they were able to
resist the pressure brought to bear at one
time upon them to expose this tremendu-
Gus force to dissipation by proftless attack
upon fortified forts.

report of the intention of Secretary Day to
resign the Office of Secretary of State upon
the termination of the present war, is
based upon the statements that were made
at the time he assumed office to the effect
that he would consent to hold it but short
time. No official utterance as 10 the Sec
retary's purposes is now obtainable, and
Secretary Day himself declines to make
any statements on the subject, so it cannot
be ascertained positively whether or not
