Rumor That the European Squadron Is to Be Recalled Finds Credence In the Brooklyn Navy Yard-Drill- rlngthc Men For War. NEW YORK, May 18.—There was con- siderable excitement in Brooklyn navy yard circles yesterday over the industri- ously circulated report- that Uncle Sam, following the example of Johnny Bull on the eve of probable international compli- cations, has assembled his largest and most powerful fleet in the harbor as an object lesson to Spain of what this coun- try is capable of doing In the event of trouble arising over the Cuban question. It may not be generally known that there are immense quantities of naval stores In the Brooklyn navy yard, and it may be regarded as significant that Com- modore Sicard received an order from the navy department: ,t Washington directing egg any more stores to the European squadro, f‘until further notice. ’ ’ Naval officers at. the yard, while cau- tions and politic, entertain the opinion that the order directing the cutting of! of further supplies from the European squad- ron on the face of it signifies that it may, should the present “forlsis with Spain be- come more tense, be recalled to augment the superb fleet at present lying in the harbor. , A Powerful Fleet. It is evident that the ships. at foreign stations cannot remain without supplies, and while the European squadron in~ eludes only three ships they are all steel cruisers of the modern type. They are the Minneapolis, the fastest cruiser in the navy; the second rate cruiser San Fran- cisco and the third rate cruiser Marble- head. The ships now forming in the squadron anchored at Tompkinsville, N. Y., are the flagship New York and the cruisers Cin- cinnatl, Raleigh and Montgomery. At the Brooklyn navy yard, however, there are four more vessels, which bring the to tal number of ships in the squadron up to eight. These are the poworful first class battle- ship Indiana, the cruiser Newark, 'whlch, although just returned from three years’ service in the south, has been ordered to join the squadron; the monitor Terror and the ram Katahdin. The Katahdin joined the squadron off Staten Island yes- terday. The Indiana and Newark will join about May 22 and the Terror early this weak. The squadron will be further augment- ed by the arrival of the Maine and Colum- bia early this week, which are being re. paired at Hampton Roads and the Norfolk yard respectively. The battleship Mas- sachusetts, now fitting out at Cramp’s, will soon join the fleet, as will the battle- ship Texas‘, the monitors. Mlantonomoh and Amphitrite, the three torpedo boats Cushing, 'Ericsson‘ and Stilletto and the dispatch boat Dolphin. Drilling For \Var. When all these vessels are gathered in New York harbor, it will make a naval display of a magnitude such as has never been seen here before. Such a force could easily wipe out the few Spanish ships sur- rounding Cuba. In all, the fleet would comprise 21 men- of-War and consist of 2 first class battle- ships, 2 second class battleships, 1 armor- ed cruiser, 8 protected cruisers, 3 moni- tors, 1 ram, 3 torpedo boats and 1 dispatch boat. “ The crews of the ships now forming the squadron are all in a high state of effi- ciency. For some months drills have been constantly kept up. The drills have gone on day after day at sea or while in port or at the difi'erent navy yards. During the morning watches the crews have been put through the ordinary rou- tine drills with 'rifle and cutlasses, and for the rest of the day practice drills on the big guns have been held. For the sake of discovering the eflicien. cy of the creWs they’ have been unexpect- edly aroused in the middle of the night and called to quarters to fight an imagi- nary enemy, and all of the crews have shown the good result of this constant drilling. A \Vealthy \Vidow Murdered. SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.—-Mrs. Philo- pena Langfeldt, a wealthy widow, 64 years old, was found dead in a house on Geary' street. She had been murdered. Her throat was out.
