CHANGE IN NAVAL PLANS Sampson’s Squadron May he Withdrawn from Havana to Meet the Battleship ' Pelayo and Her Flotilla, Which Sailed from Cadiz on April 17 and May Be Near—Reported Plan of the Spanish Fleet. Washington, April 27.-—The adminis- tration’s naval strategy plans are all upset again because of the mysterious actions of the Spanish squadrons, and Rear‘Admiral Sampson’s squadron, now off Havana, may receive orders to make a. change of base at any hour. Its execution will depend upon the action of the Spanish fleet—at Cape Ver- de Islands, to some extent, but it is believed that the Navy Department is more exercised just now regarding‘the whereabouts of the Dons’ second fleet, which is believed to be steaming direct toward the Atlantic coast. The fleet consists of \the battleship Pelayo, two first-class cruisers, three torpedo boats and four torpedo boat destroyers. The second fleet sailed from Cadiz on April 17.and' should have arrived at St. Vincent before now, if that was its destination. It is now believed, how- ever, the Cape Verde fleet will .sail to join the Cadiz fleet at some point agreed upon and that a concerted at- tack 23 to be made in an unexpected quarter. This would be in line with the boast of the Spaniards that the first blow struck by Spain would be a. big surprise to the Americans. The purpose of the. Spanish fleet at Cape Verde Islands «has all along been a. mystery to the navy strategists, and they do not intend -to take any changes, and accordingly Admiral Sampson will proceed to carry out the new programme if-the fleet leaves St. Vincent and is not reported within a. reasonable period. Tte present plan, it is said, provides for thp wuthdrawal from the blockad— ing Squadron of the six armor-clads and their concentration at some cen~ tral point onthe Atlantic coast, from which they,..wouvld be enabled to make a quick movement for the protection of the Northern cities or rejoin the other vessels in the West Indies. The plan of the Spanish fleet is not unlikely to proceed :to.Newv York, Boston 'or some efficiency of the blockade to withdraw :other important place for the purpose of bombardment, in the hope great dam- age had been inflicted. As matters now stand, it would not greatly injure the the armistice. , ' If this p_i2.n is adopted a host of aux- iliary gunboalgs especially selected for their fitness to engage in blockddi'ng work, will be at Admiral Sampsons disposal. After these have been placed where they would do theJnost good and the American force in Cuban wa- ters has been further augmented by some of the auxiliary cruisers now in l course of construction at: 'N'e'w' Yo'rk , and elsewhere, it would be safe for Ad- , mirazl Sampson to leaVe the enforce- , ment of the blockade tothese and the other ships of his command and take station with the .more formidable crafts at this point selected in' the ceast of the. United States. , . The vessels which would be with-- drawn to carry this plan into effect are the armored cruiser New York, Admiral Sampson’s flagship; the battle. ships Iowa and Indiana and the coast de- fense monitors Puritan, Terror and Amphitrite. Whether any torpedo boats : will accompany them in their change of base is not known, but it is probable that some of these little craft will be detailed to act in conjunction with the big ships. In order that Admiral Sampson may be reliably informed as to the probable destination of. the Spanish fleet, and can make his plans accordingly after taking station in home waters, he will be assisted by a number of swift cruis- ers,w1hich will scout the sea for hu‘n- dreds of miles beyond the American coast line on the lookout for the enemy. These would consist of the Columbia, Minneapolis, the four American line cruisers and probably six vessels now in Commander Howell’s squadron. The purpose Of the Navy Department in sending the Columbia to Newport and the Minneapolis to Eastport was based on the decision that it was nec- essary to take extreme precautionary measures to secure information in re- gard to the moVement of hostile ships which might approach the shores of the United States. EVIDENCE AGAINST SHAW. State Lays Great Stress on the. Finding of a Revolver. Camden, N.

She takes rank in importance next to the ladies of the Cabinet and the wives of the Judges of the Su- preme Court. Should she be rich and r generous entertainer, she may even take precedence of them socially to all intents and purposes though not ofli- -ially, of course. Her weekly recep- tions during the season are eagerly rough-t, and in her parlors may be lound all the distinguished men of the Administration a scattering of foreign [Imbassadors and Ministers with their wives and the secretaries and at- taches of legations. She is invited to State dinners at the President’s house, and indeed no door may be closed up- on her. . Sometimes the woman who finds her- self in this exalted social position is used to a quiet, domestic and unevent- ful life in some small Western town, and is frightened as well as dazzled by this brilliant company that surrounds her. Usually under such circum- stances, with all a woman’s clever adaptability, she soon learns 'to take her honors as a matter of coursezand becomes a. thorough “ society woman, but occasionally one is found-Wihois so frightened by the gay prospect that she shrinks hastily back into her shell and hides herself away in- obscurity so that people of the smart setalmost forget her existence except when they meet her at long intervals at White House dinners. The invitations from the President, by the way, are very like those that emanate from royalty abroad. They are politely worded commands, and no one dares disobey them. Most peeple do not want to, however; on the contrary such honors are eagerly sought. Most women, even if naturally in- clined to shrink from social gayeties, would make an; effort to overcome the . feeling when their husbands are elect- ed tothe Senate, if onlyj for motives of political expediency," for it is a well—known fact that States take great pride in being represented- at: Wash- ington in a manner that “does them' cred.it " The farmer loves to read of the gayeties of his favorite Senator . and to discuss them with his friend over the 'cou'nter 'of the store later in the day. In fact, tthere.-;_is'rno surer way for a m'air Tte-“secures national reputation than by giving a series of, dinners and balls in Washington. ' In order to be a perfect su'cCess so- cially as a Senators wife a woman ' :muSt be decrdedly healthy and strong, for ..-the life one; .A- Senators, wife must 'be ‘well in? formed upon the topics of the day ”‘8'"; home and abroad. She must know what bills are being dis‘cussed in both houses and what their prospects of success 'may be. ~New York Jour- ha].

When a. fire'breaks out in the town almost all the stores close,'the troops stand under arms, and few except the firemen and the people near the place of' conflagration venture out in the street, the reason being that most revolutionary movements are started in this manner. While fire draws the attention to some remote part of Port au Prince, the “conspirators,” as they are always called, attempt tostorm the- arsenal and the prison, liberating and arming their inmates. Many 2 dan- gerous criminal owes his liberty to 7" an iiicident of this nature. ; Another peculiar feature of the con- stant excitement is the so-called cou'ru ——derived from courier, the French word for run—when everybody in the streets starts to run. members well one that happened in Port an Prince, the capital, about five years ago, when the situation was comparatively quiet. Two'young men who quarrelled' about a woman met near the market-place, drew their re« volvers and fired at each other. This caused a panic in the market—halls; everybody commenced to run, in order to'get home. Nobody knew what had happened; nobody knew what was go- ing to happen; those who had' not heard the shots, seeing the others" take to their heels, also ran for the shelter of their homes. The stores closed; strong detachments of troops patrolled the streets, headed by the chief—of-po- lice, the commanders of the port, the town, and the “Arrondissement”; and finally the President himself, being in doubt as to the outcome of the affair, left the palace and rode through the streets at the head of about two hum d-red and fifty cavalry, with their car— bines on the thigh and their fingers on the trigger, who were followed by a battalion of infantry. Only one man of the party besides the officers was without a rifle: he carried on his head a soapbox full of cartridges. All this had been caused by a. few shots 'ex- changed between two men! The.) were promptly arrested, but the ma- jority of people did not know until the next morning why they “ran.” It 'is indeed quite natural that the.V should' look for shelter at such a time; fer justice (and sometimes in- justice), always summarily. dispensed, is particularly high- handed at the time of a couru.
