'It‘lhat Island.
THE moors WILL FOLLOW
Admiral Sampson’s Three Missions—
' One Is to Take Porto Rico, One to
Destroy the S-panish Fleet, and
One to Protect the Oregon—All
May Be Combined Into One. ‘
Washington, May 6.—The Navy and
War departments will give no informa-
tion about the movements of the fleet
or troops. The best Congressional au-
thorities, however, say that the better
part of the squadron is moving toward
Porto Rico to carry out the President’s
plan of seizing that island.
It is also hinted that all the troops
gathering'at Tampa and other South-
ern ports will not be sent to Cuba, but
that a. good number will be taken to
Porto'Rico to hold that place after Ad—
miral Sampson has seized it. It would
be of little avail to take the island
without having a force to land and co-
cupy it. The Administration does not
wish to leave Admiral Sampson in any
such predicament as Commodore Dew-
ey, who, after capturing the Philip—
pine's, has no army of occupation. Af-
ter the troops are landed at Porto Rico,
Admiral Sampson will be able to take
his fleet and follow the rest of his in-
structions by destroying the Spanish
ships supposed to be coming from Cape
Verde or being reinformcd at the Ca.—
naries by the whole Spanish fleet.
To \Vait for the Troops.
Admiral Sampson will have to wait
perhaps a day or so for troops for Por-
to Rico before the attack is made, and
this will give plenty of time for the
Navy Department here to discover ex-
actly where the Spanish fleet is, wheth-
er it has turned back to Cadiz, or is
coming across to these waters, as at
first intimated. ' '
Apparently the Navy Department is
not as anxious about the Oregon as
common gossip would indicate. It is
reasoned that for Spain to send four
cruisers to capture or destroy the Ore-
gon would be a very foolish move—too
foolish even for Spanish conception.
If the movement were successful the
destruction of one of our fine ships
would be all that could be .accom-
plished, and that not without serious
loss on the Spanish side. Naval ex-
perts say that in a battle with the four
Spanish cruisers the Oregon would
probably destroy two and inflict serious
damage upon the others before she was
destroyed herself. The result of such a.
battle would more seriously injure the
Spanish navy than it would us. At the
same time steps have been taken to
protect the Oregon.
Sampson’s Three Missions.
Out of the conflicting opinions and
statements one thing that appears
clear to-day is that Admiral Sampson
has been given wider discretion than
heretofore. He has been given three
missions. One is ,to take Porto Rico;
one to destroy the Spanish fleet if it
can be located on this side of the At-
lantic, and lastly, to protect the Ore-
gon.
As to the method of procedure he is
given discretion. His course is to be
determined by developments as he pro-
ceeds. It is understood to be the ex-
pectation of the President that Porto
Rico will be taken at once. A study of
the map will show how. these three
missions may be fitted into one, if the
Spanish fleet is bound either for Porto
Rico, Havana or to intercept the Ore-
gon.
For information as to the approach
of the Spanish fleet Admiral Sampson
will, it is said, rely upon his fast scout
boats. These vessels will sail far south-
ward, so as to,cOver the path of the
Spanish fleet, and to report its ap-
proach. The course and the rate of
speed of Sampson’s fleet will be known
to these scout vessels, so that they will
know about where to intercept him at-
any time. .
The Admirnl’s Plan.
If the Spanish fleet is not come across
Within a certain time after Sampson’s
fleet has arrived in the vicinity of Por-
to Rico, the attack on that place will
probably be made as the first move,
and the port be held to deprive the
Spanish of a base of supplies. If, how—
ever, it is discovered that the Spanish
fleet has sailed further south, and is
aiming to intercept the Oregon, Ad-
miral Sampson’s fleet will put out after
. the Spanish at once, with almost a cer-
, tainty of running up with them by the
time they haVe come up with the Orc-
gon. It is said that the Oregon will so
time her course as not to arrive at the
point where she would be intercepted
by the Spanish until Sampson‘s fleet
has opportunity to‘reach the scene of
action.
\Vill Occupy Cuban Port.
The occupancy of a Cuban port in ac-
cordance with the plaiis already fully
outlined in these dispatches, is to be
taken at once. There is the highest
authority for the statement that this
expedition will be put in motion as
speedily as possible, and the inference
was suggested that troops might be
embarked within a day or two. It is
intimated that a larger body of troops
than at first contemplated may have
to be sent, on account of the Gomez
army not showing as large a force as
was expected.
There has apparently been a broad-
ening of all plans, and the advance-
ment of some that it had been intended
to put into operation later. The situa-
tion of affairs in Spain, rather than the
battle of Manila, is apparently hurry-
ing matters.
I
Preparations are about completed for
sending troops, supplies and ammuni-
tion, as well as hospital ships, to Com-
modore Dewey, and the expedition will
leave as soon as oflicial word comes
from Dewey. As yet nothing has been
received from him.
Fear E‘ricsson Has Been 'Sunk.
Washington, May 6.—Anxiety is felt
for the torpedo ’boat Ericsson, now on ;
blockade duty. The‘little vessel has not
been heard of for ‘flve‘Or six days, and
fears are entertained that while pa-
trolling the Cuban coast-she has been
sunk, by a Spanish battery. It may be,
hoiveve’r, that'she has broken down
lie out of reach of communication
d islepairing her damages.

' to‘notu'rn. ,
London, May ‘6.+;The Vienn’arcol‘g’re-
tpondent of the Daily Telegraphlrsay :
"Apartments have been reserved It
a hotel here for the Queen Regent of
' Spain. in case‘she arrives before apart-
ments have been prepared for her..in
her brother’s palace. Telegrams from
the Austrian Ambassador at Madrid
' (COunt Dubsky) indicate that the
lQucen Regent is only waitingfor a
I suitable moment to quit Spain without
detriment to the interests of her son."
. The Paris correspondent of the Daily
'Mail Says: “I hear on indisputable ,au—
thority that five of the Spanish war-
ships, including the battleship Pelayo
and the cruiser Alfonso XIII.,‘ have
‘ not yet been supplied with ammuni-
tion. This was the cause of the delay
in the sailing of the Cape Verde fleet
and will probably compel it to return
to Cadiz.”
Expects a Republic in Spain.
Berlin, May 6,—Leading diplomatists
here are so confident that the war'be-
tween Spain and the United States will
500:) be over that they even~predict
that not another l’g battle will-be
fought. These predictions are based
lution and the overthrow of the present
dynasty. It is argued that the estab-
lishment of a republic there would lead
Spain to sue for peace at once. The
Powers are already exchanging notes,

The Dynasty Doomed.
London, May 6.——A letter, dated
fay 2, just received from Madrid, says
Gen. Vv‘eyier and Senor Romero y Ro-
bledo, the former Minister of Justice,
are bound to come to the front now as
"a military furor has taken possession
of the nation, and the Spanish dynasty,
as well as the Government, is doomed.”
SP‘AIN’S SHIPS TURNED BACK.
The President, Positive of This, Hal
Ordered Blow at Spain's Supplies.
VVashing-ion, May 6.-—It can be stated
on the highest authority that President
McKinley does not believe that the
Spanish fleet which left the Cape Verde
Islands is coming to this side. He
holds the opinion that it has returned
to Cadiz and will remain there for the
present at least. The dispatch stating
that the fleet had been sighted near
Cadiz came from the agents of the
Lloyd’s, and is believed to be true by
the Administration.
This accounts for the movements of
the American fleet toward Porto Rico.
All the information coming from the
Executive Mansion is to the effect that
a part of Sampson’s fleet is now on its
way to take Porto Rico and destroy
Spain’s base of supplies.
A Cabinet officer, in discussing the
movement of the Cape Verde fleet,
said: “Gen. Grant used to say that he
always tried to avoid doing what the
enemy wished him to do. In this in-
stance we are very anxious to have the
enemy come over, and it is reasonable
to suppose that the Spanish strategists
will not do exactly-as we desire.”
Persons who from their official posi-
tion might be supposed to sha:e the
confidence of the Administration, as-
sert also that Admiral Sampson has
gone to' seize Porto Rico, and this
statement is made after conference
with the Executive. On the other hand,
it is asserted with almost equal posi-
tiveness ’that the fleet has gone to meet
the Oregon and bring her in safely to
the North. Still another report is to
the effect that the Admiral has gone to
seize Matanzas, to be used as a base of
operations.
HAS APPEALED TO EUROPE.
Queen Regent Pleads for Interven-
tion to Save Her Country.
London, May 6.——Your correspondent
has obtained official confirmation of
the statement that the Queen Regent
of Spain is suing for the intervention
of the powers, and of the fact that she
has been continuously doing so since
the outbreak of the war.
The only response she has received
has come from Austria. The Queen
does not Offer a basis of settlement,
nor does she suggest any concessions.
She wishes the foundation of peace to
be discussed after the cessation of hos-
tilities.
All of the powers, including Austria,
.mow officially that any terms are im-
possible without the evacuation of Cu—
ba, and consequently there has not
been any diplomatic movement in com-
pliance with Queen Christina’s plead-
ings. The war party is still too strong
to let the Queen have a free hand.
The situation is illustrated by a loyal
member of the Spanish Naval Commis—
sion in London, who said: “We know
that Cuba is lost to Spain. We are
now fighting for the monarchy.”
What Dewey Told His Men.
Atchison, May 6.——In a letter just re-
ceived, dated Hong Kong, April 3,
Louie Ostertag, a sailor on Commodore
’ Dewey’s flagship, the Olympia, tells his
parents of the instructions given by
Commodore Dewey to his men after
orders had been received from VVash-
ington, to be in readiness to move at
any time. The \ Jmmodore assembled
.his men on the flagship and told them
, in case of an engagement to “keep per-
.fectly cool and pay attention to noth-
I ing but orders.” The sailor wrote that
all the vessels of the fleet were kept
coaled to their fullest capacity, and
that a transport was loaded with an
immense amount of fuel. - -
Mules for the Army.
St. Louis, Mo., May 6.—Quartermas-
ter G. C. Smith has received orders
from Washington to purchase all the
mules possible until further orders.
Acting under instructions, Capt. Smith
has already bought 2,800 pack mules.
The total number of mules purchased
fat this point is now 7,000, with the
gprobability that it will run up to the
10,000 before the week is over.
To Raise the. Spanish Ships.
Washington, May 6.—A force of
ships’ carpenters, wreckers and other
- workmen will be sent to Manila on the
City of Pekin to attempt to raise the
:‘panish ships sunk by Dewey. The
work will be in charge 01' Nate! 00n-
