No Certainty That spain's Fleet
Has Arrived at Cadiz.
WILL TAKE NO CHANCES
No Attack on Porto Rico to Be Made
in the Absence of Spain’s Fleet
Until After Our Army ls Landed in
Cuba—Both Sampson and Schley to
Make the Attack on Havana.
Washington, May 12.—There is no ab-
solute certainty that the dispatches an-
nouncing the arrival of the Cape Verde
fleet at Cadiz are reliable. It is real-
ized that it would be entirely possible
for both Ambassador Hay and the Na-
val Attache at London, from whom the
dispatches were received, to have been
deceived. The mere fact that a. dis-
patch making that announcement to
the press and to the American officials
at Londoncould be sent from Cadiz
gives ground for suspicion as to its
accuracy. The censorship at Cadiz is
very strict,-and it is regarded as not
likely that any information could be
got from thereby wire unless the Span—
ish authorities were perfectly willing
that it should go out. '
Consequently, there is a great differ-
ence of opinion as to the reliance to be
placed on the information. While the
department is acting On this informa-
tion, this is largely because the move‘
ments in contemplation would have to
be made anyhow, in view of the failure
of Admiral Sampson to find the Span-
ish_ fleet in West Indian waters, and
precautions against surprises are be
ing as carefully taken as if the Cape
Verde fleet had not been reported at
Cadiz.
\Vonld Injure Government.
The authorities, who have held all
along to the theory that the Span-
ish fleet would return to Cadiz, accept
the report as conclusive, but others
still doubt. ' It is said by the latter that
if the fleet has reassembled at Cadiz,
it cannot be expected to remain there,
since Spain ,must either do something
with her navy very soon, or else give
up the war. The belief is that the
Spanish‘people would resent with vio-
lence this retreat on the part of the
fleet, which was depended on to relieve
Cuba and/Porto Rico, and that its ar-
rival at' Cadiz, when publicly known in
Spain; 'would the signal for the over-
throw of. the Government.
Misinformation and treachery is al-
ways‘. expected from Spanish sources,
and while: it may the 'true that the
Spanish fleet has-arrived at Cadiz. the
department will take no chances which
'WOuld not be warranted in any case,
unless the advices received are supple-
.mented by more certaininformation.
No Fear for'De‘vvey.
The apprehension of the Spanish fleet
going to the relief. of} Manila or to at-
tack San Francisco is ’ Very slight.
Should such a move be made, it Would
be a foolhardy venture on the part of
Spain,, exposing the Spanish coast, giv-
‘ing up the struggle in Cuba and Porto
Rico. ‘
Ournavy would probably make an
immediate attack upon Spanish ports,
compelling Spa-in to sue for peace, and
put an end to the war before the Span-
ish fleet could reach the Philippines.
Spain will have to do something with
her navy, however, to satisfy the de-
mands at home, unless the Government
is prepared to give up Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines, and devote its
energies entirely to the settlement of
affairs in the peninsula,_ and it is
thought that if the Cape Verde fleet
has returned to Cadiz, there will be as-
sembled at that point the entire effec-
tive force of the Spanish navy for an
aggressive move upon our fleet or
against some port. It is either this or
the end of the war. Whatever move
Spain may make, however, we are fully
prepared and no apprehension is felt
”On account of uncertainty as to the
Spanish intentions.
Admiral Sampson’s Orders.
Admiral Sampson is acting under al-
ternative orders, and without reference
to the information from Cadiz, his fail-
ure to come up to .the Cape Verde fleet
would 'lead him to proceed upon the
second alternative, which, it is inti<
mated, is to return to Cuba, possibly
after detaching two vessels to meet the
Oregon.
It is regarded as extremely doubtful
that an attack will be made on POI‘IO‘
Rico in the absence of the Spanish fleet
in those waters until after our army of
invasion has been landed in Cuba, and
probably not until after Havana has
been reduced. If the Spanish fleet is at
Cadiz, there will be ample time for
operations in Cuba before that fleet
can reach Porto Rico, and Sampson’s
fleet, having returned to Cuban waters,
an attack from the combined Spanish
fleet upon us in that quarter is not to
be dreaded. '
If, after operations have begun in
Cuba, it is learned definitely that a
strong fleet has sailed from Cadiz, a
sufficiently strong naval force can be
organized to meet the Spaniards with-
out in any way hampering our opera-
tions in Cuba.
The patrol of our scout cruisers has
shown that there is no Spanish fleet in
any quarter where we have any reason
to dread it, and nearly every possibil-
ity has been so well prepared for that
the departments are not hampered in
aggressive operations, by any appre-
hension as to our own defenses. In
fact, it is felt that we can very nearly
see the end of rail possibility of effee-;
tive aggressive movements on the part
of Spain.
It appears that there is some little
hesitation and uncertainty in high
quarters, threatening a little delay in
pu:ting into complete operations the
plans. already determined upon with re?
specl. to the invasion of Cuba. This is
caused by the failure to communicate
at once with Admiral Sampson’s fleet.
It is understood, however, that Com-
modore Schley’s Flying Squadron will
go to Cuba, and that both fleets will be
used for the attack upon Havana.

T FATAL PHILADELPHIA‘FIRE.
Three Persons Burned to Death and
a Loss of $500,000.
Philadelphia, May 12.—Three persons
nated in the wholesale toy and fire-
works establishment of McCadden
Bros., 619 Market street, yesterday.
The killed are: Miss Caldwell, type-
writer, for McCadden Bros, William
McCadden, a brother of a. member of
the firm. Michael Quinn, an employe.
The fire originated from an explosion
of fireworks.
There were about 100 persons em—
ployed in the McCadden store, and
nearly all managed to make their es-
cape before the flames reached the up-
per floors. The three bodies were found
on the second floor ofethe burned struc-
ture. On account of the inflammable
nature of the contents, the big six-
story structure was a mass of flame in
less than half an hour. The fire spread
to the adjoining buildings, occupied by
the Reading Hardware Co., the Na—
tional Wall Paper Co., and the Brain-
erd and Armstrong Spool Silk Co.
The McCadden Building was com-
pletely destroyed, and the other two
were badly damaged. The entire stock
of the wall paper company and the silk
company was rendered worthless by
smOke and water.
stock of the Reading-Hardware Co. is
nominal, but the loss on the building
amounts to about $50,000.
The total loss will reach about $500,-
000, well covered by insurance.
AMMUNITION FOR DEWEY.
The Cruiser Charleston Leaves for
the Philippine Islands.
Washington, May 12,—The cruiser
Charleston has sailed with ammunition
and relief supplies for Admiral Dewey.
She left San Francisco yesterday with-
out -waiting for the rest of the relief
steamers and supplies.
The order to the commandant of the
navy yard at Mare Island was to put
on board the Charleston all the ammu-
nition she would carry so long as her
steaming capacity was not retarded. It
is underlstood here that at least 150 tons
of ammunition were put on board.
By extraordinary efforts on the part
of the authorities here, all the powder,
shot and shell requisite for this relief
eXpedition had been assembled at San
Francisco, though it was thought at
first it would take until after May 15
to draw these supplies together.
The Charleston is a. protected cruise-r
of 3,730 tons displacement, built of steel,
and mounts eight guns in her
battery. Her 'trip 'to 3.3311iia will take
about two weeks. She has a crew of
about three hundred men, and was aug—
hundred men.
The City of Pekin, which
being pushed to eighteen knots or more,
soth'at she may overhaul her and renal
Manila. first.
THE OITV'OF PEKING' READY.
Turned Over to the Navy Depart-
ment to Be Loaded 'l‘o-Ilay.
San Francisco, Cal., May 12.—The
City of Pekin has been turned over to
the Navy Department. After going
0n the dry dock she will be loaded
with supplies for Admiral Dewey‘s
fleet. There willbe stores for the ves-
sels of the Asiatic squadron and am—
munition to take the place of the pow-
der'shells that did such good work in
Manila. ‘
The Navy Department is not doing
anything about coal, however, and the
supposition is that Dewey has all he
wants. It is known that there was a
large amount of coal stored at Manila
and this must now be in Dewey’s
hands.
So far no provision has been made to
navy pay office it is given out that the
navy is fitting her up as a supply ship
and is doing nothing for the accom—
modation of troops on board, though
it is expected that before she sails the
army officials will arrange for the
transportation on her of a portion of
the troops assembled here.
DELAY AT SAN FRANCISCO.
It May Be 'I‘vvo “leeks Befofc Troops
Are Ready to Go to Manila.
San Francisco, May 12.—Volunteer
and regular troops here complain that
they have not received suitable clothing
for a campaign in the Philippines. They
say that the War Department has not
made an effort to provide proper outfits
for the men who are to go on the ex-
pedition to aid Admiral Dewey.
Bids received her-e for rations for the
expedition were telegraphed to Wash-
lngton, and all were rejected by the
War Department. Unless the local of-
ficers of the army and navy are permit—
ted to purchase supplies at their discre—
tion it is not probable that the troops
intended for the Manila expedition will
be ready to start under two weeks.
Contractors here complain that red tape
at Washington makes it impossible to
fill requisitions promptly. -
SPANISH VESSEL LOST.
Boilers of a Torpedo Boat Destroyer
Reported to Have Burst.
London, May 12.—A dispatch to the
Globe from Gibraltar says that an Eng—
lish steamship has arrived there and of—
fieially reported that on Monday night
she passed one of the Spanish torpedo
boat destroyers detailed to guard the
port of Algeciras and the Strait of
Gibraltar.
Shortly afterward all of the lights on
board the destroyer were extinguished.
This was followed. by a terrific ex-
plosion, and the destroyer vanished.
The disaster to the vessel was appar-
ently due to the bursting of her boil-
ers and it is believed that all on board
were lost.
Was It the Destructor?
London, May 12.—-The Spanish torpedo
boat destroyer reported blown up near
Gibraltar is probably the Destructor.
Powers May Urge Spain to Yield.
Washington, May 12.—Owing to
the Spanish defeat at Manila, leading
members of the diplomatic corps, rep-
resenting the most influential of the
great powers of Europe, have unoffi-
cially exchanged views on the oppor—
tuneness of a. movement, dictated’by
the most friendly spirit and in the in—
terest‘of peace, toward urging upon
Spain the futility of prosecuting the
war further, and inducing heir to'sue
for peace on the basis of the relinquish-
Inent of Cuba, the promise of a. war in-
“ demnity and the occupation of Manila
by Admiral Dewey until the war in-
demnity is paid.

A Queer Lottery‘-
Men do not acquire their better
halves nowadays in civilized nations as
the result of the tossing up of a coin
or the cast of a die, nor are English-
men in the habit of taking their
spouses with a halter round their neck
to Smithfield, and there sell them by
public auction to the highest bidder.
Russia, however, seems to form an
exception, if we are to believe an ad-
vertisement relative to a lottery for
which tickets can be bought for about
a rouble each in the town of Smolensk.
There is.only one prize to be drawn,
and it consists of the entire sum yield-
ed by the sale of the tickets, amount-
ing to 5,000 roubles, together with a.
lady described as of noble blood. The
tickets are sold only to males, and the
lucky drawer of the prize will have to
marry the damsel if he takes the 5,000
roubles. If, however, he be already
married, he is at liberty to turn over
themoney and the lady to any friend
whOm he may wish to- put in for such
a. good thing. If the winner should be
willing to marry, but is not found to
the damsel’s taste, then they are to be
dispensed from matrimony, and per-
mitted to divide the roubles.
We surmise that, unless the prize-
winner should happen to be an eligible
young bachelor, the spinster will pre-
fer the last method of settlement, the
more so as she has described herself
as being not only no longer young, but .
also poor.
