 m-The Flying Squadron will sail
 from here at ? o'clock this after
 noon under sealed orders. The gun
 has just been fr'd and signals given calling all hands on board. Con-
 mander Schley has just come ashore
 from the Brooklyn to say good
 bye" to his wife and daughter. The order has created the greatest ex- . citement, and all sorts of conjec-
 lures in regard to its destination.
 Some think it has been ordered to
 intercept the Spanish feet, but the
 more plausible belief is that it has
 been ordered to join Sampson's fleet
 of Key West.

 mined stand on the part of the

 pose between the Spanish and
 belligereuts has arrived, that iater-
 veution which will stop the war and
 secure the national independence of Cubl ShOuid at once take place. 1T

 sequence, however dcY'nrable, will
 be accepted by the American people

 Washington, April 13, To a. m.-. Congress will undoubtedly today pass resolutions which will mean the ordering of Spain out of Cuba and which will result in precipitating war within the next forty eight |, hours. There has been a very per ceptible change of sentiment among many senators during the past forty eight hours Those who have al ways been in favor of extreme meas ures in dealing with Spain, particu- larly in regard to the Maine explos- ion are, if anything more determined than ever. Many of those who have been conservative and who have hoped for peace have now changed front and not only believe that there is no honorable way to avert war { but they express themselves in favor of it. Notably among the latter is Elkins who has been classed among the ''peace at any price" members, but who now believes there i is no longer any course left but resort 10 arms.
