SAM SON’S WAY IS CLEAR
State Department Gives Official No-
tice of Spain’s Retreat—Plans of
the Strategy {Board Completely Up-
set—Plans of Military and Naval
Campaign Changed—Now for Porto
Rico, and Then Cuba.
Washin gton, May 11.——Secretary
Long yesterday afternoon received a
cablegram announcing the arrival of
rthe Cape Verde fleet at Cadiz, and the
following statement was given out by
the State Department:
“Official information has been re-
ceived that four Spanish cruisers and
three torpedo boat destroyers have re—
turned to Cadiz.”
Not long after this was made public
Secretary Long told the newspaper men
that he had received advices from the
American Naval Attache at the British
Legation in London confirming the
State Department’s report.
The strategists, of course, were upset
by the news. They have been morally
certain, in the absence of any informa—
tion, that Villa-mil’s ships were at the '
Canaries or anywhere but beating
westward on the high seas, that a crash
between the belligerent Atlantic squad.
rons was a question only of hours. Ad-
ministration officials did not have to do
much thinking to arrive at these con- ‘
clusions: .
First: That the seizure of the harbor
of San Juan de Porto Rico by Rear Ad-
miral Sampson is a certainty, and that
it may have occurred already.
Second: That the invasion of Cuba by
ii nun
Spanish Ships Have Returned to
treat-of the squadron hides some strat-
egic design. ,
{ NO NEWS FROM SAMPSON.
PortoRico Is Now Practically at His
’ Mercy. _
Washington; May 11.—Although the
Secretaryof theNavyand the officers of.
the Navy Department are all anxious-
ly awaiting news from Admiral Samp-
'son’s fleet, nothing has been received
at the department officially from either
the Admiral or any of the Government
officials. ~.
3 The latest reports at the Navy De-
partment in regard to our fleet is that
they are proceeding slowly toward
{Porto Rico, not only to save coal, but
{also because the big monitors Terror
gand Amphitrite are being.towed in
{order that their coal may not be con-
sumed. At the rate they are going,
Ethey ought to reach Porto Rico some
itime to-day, if they have hot already
‘ done so.
The department does not credit the
| reports that the Oregon is the object of
{attack by the Spaniards. _At the time
got the sailing .of the Spanish fleet from
{Cape Verde it was announced that
{while the fleet went west (cgrtaiply for
_ twelve hours), two transports and three
{torpedo boats were sent back to the
{Canary Islands. It was thought that
-if the Westerly course taken .by the
fleet were merely a move to deceive, it
{would take a wide circle and join the
{transports and torpedo boats going to
sthe Canaries.
The announcement in a London dis-
{patch that the transports and torpedo
[boats have arrived at the Canaries
‘without the rest of the fleet is regarded
l[as confirming the theory that the fleet
ikept on toward Porto Rico. There was
some uneasiness caused by the an-
nouncement of the cable being out be-
tween Montevideo and Rio Grande du
S01, and the report that was spread
=abroad that it was done to conceal the
movements of the Spanish fleet, and
lthat perhaps the fleet, instead of com-

across the Atlantic to engage our ships
and perhaps menace our coast.
It is quite probabie, in the absence of
any information from the Navy‘De-
partment ‘on this interesting subject,
that no message will be received from
RearAdmirai Sampson un-tilafter hehas
accomplished the mission on which he
set out with the :big ships of his block-
ading fleet at daybreak on last
Wednesday morning. There is little
doubt that his instructions were much
similar to those [which President Mc-
Kinley caused to be cabled to Bear Ad-
miral Dewey at Hong Kong on the day
that Congress passed the joint resolu-
tion declaring a state of war against
Spain to exist.
The instructions to Sampson, which
probably were not altered in the dis-
patches which the cruiser Montgomery
got when she called at Cape‘ Hayfien
on last Sunday, undoubtedly were to
destroy the Cape Verde ships and seize
Porto Rico’s principal harbor. The big-
gest part of this contract the Ameri-
can commander now, of course, is un-
able to execute, but the seizure of San
Juan remains for him to accomplish.
The strategists all along have calculat-
ed this part of the programme to be a.
military necessity.
Whether the disappearance of the
Villamil squadron from the naval map
rwould alter their reasoning is not
known to the laymen. However that
may be, it is not likely that any dis—
patches from the Navy Department
counterm-anding the original blanket
instructions could reach Sampson in
time to prevent operations against San
Juan.
Therefore, a dispatch announcing the
fall of San Juan may :be expected be-
fore another d'ay, according to the cal-
culations as to the progress of the flag-
ship New York, the battleships Indi-
ana and Iowa. and the other vessels
with the monitors Terror and Amphi-
tri-te in tow.
It is hard to tell whether the naval
officials were relieved -or disappointed
by the news that the Spanish flying
squadron had arrived at Cadiz. The
safety of the Oregon from attack is,
no w completely assured, and the way is
clear for military operations in Cuba
without running the risk of having the
occupying army’s line of communica-
tion out off. On the other hand, it is
believed that no' enduring peace can be
secured until the Spanish navy has
been destroyed, and it now appears
that to do this our sailors must make
up their minds to go after the Span-
iards-a :trask very much more difficult
than that of meeting them near our
own shores.
The principal vessels of the squadron
which sailed from the Cape Verde Isl-
ands about ten days ago, and which
are supposed to be. the ones reported
at Cadiz, are the four armored cruisers
Vizcaya, Almiranie Oquendo, Maria
Theresa and Cristobal VColon.
squadron included the torpedo boat de-
stroyers Piuton, Terror and Furor.
The junction of the Spanish flee
Cadiz, which includes the battlesé
Pelayo and the Emperador Carlos V.,
with the vessels which sailed from the
Cape Verde Islands and are now re-
at;
ported to have arrived at the Spanish '
port, would give Spain the most power-
ful combination of fighting ships she
ever had.
The failure of the Cape Verde fleet to
cross the Atlantic, if true, leaves Porto
Rico practically at the mercy of Ad-
miral Sampson‘s squadron. It relieves
the battleship Oregon, the gunboat
Marietta. and the cruiser Buffalo, now
on their way up the Brazilian coast, of
fear of attack by an overwhelming
force of the enemy.
The massing of virtually her whole
naval strength in one fleet may mean
that Spain is going to play a. waiting
game, and meanwhile keep her fleet for
the defence of the peninsular, leaving
her colonies to be defended by the
forces now guarding them, or that she
means to put all her strength behind
one last telling blow at the United.
States.
Maybe Spain Means to Give Up Cuba.
London, May 11.—There is no conflr-
mation of the report that the Spanish
fleet from the Cape Verde Islands has
returned to Cadiz, but it is generally
regarded as the most. likely movement
to be made, and as an indication that
Spain has decided to let her West In-
dian possessions go.
The question is generally asked,
"What possible use has Spain for con-
tinuing a-hopeiess struggle?” as it is
considered next to impossible that she
has any alternative plan or that the re-

{ It is said that the interruption of the
cable can hardly have any bearing on
the Spanish cable, because it is said
that this cable is frequently out of
order, and this may be the trouble with
it now.
The programme for Admiral Samp—
son after reaching Porto Rico will de-
pend entirely upon circumstances. His
instructions have been to seek and de—
stroy the Spanish fleet, but whether his
orders direct him, in the absence of the
enemy, to bombard Porto Rico, is not
kept closely guarded.
Do Not Expect Spain’s Fleet.
Vv’ashington, May 11.—-The President
is inclined to believe that the Spanish
fleet has not ventured into American
waters, but is bound to the Canaries or
nearer iome. '
With the fleet failing to put in an ap-
pearance around the West Indies, ac-
tion against the Island of Porto Rico
will not be much longer deferred, and
important news from that quarter is
momentarily expected.
It is felt that the next few hours will
determine beyond further question
whether the Spanish fleet, which 'left
the Cape Verde Islands, did in fact
come to Porto Rico, or diverge north-
ward back to Cadiz for a formidable
concentration of the strongest ships of
the Spanish navy. In the latter event
Admiral Sampson will have no Spanish
fleet to fight, save those smaller craft
in Cuban waters. It will leave the
course free to the Oregon to make a
juncture with the fleet, and also will
leave Admiral Sampson’s hands free
for attention to Porto Rico or Cuba.
