COMMODORE SCHLEY,

thought, II Lieutenant Mark arrived at
late hour tomorrow night that he
+ would take the report to a hotel for the
night. There has been no change in the
plan Of sending the report to congress
early next week, probably Monday ac-
rompanied by Il message from the presi-
dent. 1t Is definitely settled, however,
that the message and the papers ac-
companying 1t will relate exclusively
to the Maine disaster. 1t will not take
up the fearful condition of affairs in
Cuba. as shown by the reports of
United States consuls, these being re-
served for subsequent action in later
message to congress.
Secretary Long determined yesterday
to order the double turreted monitors
Puritan and Terror to Key West, where
they will reinforce the squadron in
those waters. He also determined to
bring into service the eight single tur-
reted monitors at League Island navy
yard. Philadelphia, two of which will
be sent to Boston, two to New York
and four held in reserve at Phiadel-
phia. The Puritan and Terror take the
place of the battleships Massachusetts
and Texas. recently withdrawn from
the squadron at Key West. The Puri-
tan, by many experts, is regarded as
the most formidable fighting machine
in the navy.
In addition to its other preparations
for possible trouble the navy depart
ment yesterday took steps towards
utilizing ten Of the sea going revenue
cutters for use along the Atlantic
coast. They will be first sent to Nor
folk, where additional guns will be
mounted and will then proceed to Key
West and become part of the squad
ron there. Their main service, how
ever. will be as naval pickets, chain
Of these fleet cutters being maintained
outside Of the cruisers and battleships.
The revenue cutter service now has
ready for instant and active service 124
line officers, "a engineers, 900 enlisted
men and 10 vessels, of which IA are on
the Atlantic coast. Two others are in
course Of construction at Cleveland,
and with rush work can be completed
and ready for sea in from 80 to 45 days
Secretary Long said yesterday that it
had become evident that torpedo boats
could not be bought abroad aud could
not be built soon enough in this coun-
try. SO that we might have to equip
other craft with torpedoes.
The navy department opened bids
yesterday for extensive improvements
at Dry TortuEas and Key West q
formal transfer having been effected
as regards TGrtugas, which passes
from the treasury to the war depart
ment These consist Of two solid steel
piers TO be constructed at Dry Tor
tugas, with two extensive coal sheds
and an elaborate mechanical equipment
for loading naval vessels with coal. AT
Key West the improvements consist of
steel pier and two coal sheds with
similar machinery for leading war;
ships with coal. The awards will be
made within the next day or two.
The board of survey which sat on
the flagship New York at Key West on
Tuesday to consider the retirement of
Rear Admiral Sicard for physical dis
ability has completed Its work. 1t Is
impossible to learn the decision at
which the board has arrived. but it |
II believed that 1t recommends the re-
