SPAIN’S UADIZ, FLEET
Fourteen Waishm—s: Besides Tor-
pedo Boats, Reported There.
SQUADRON HAS PUT T0 SEA
Lieut. Colwell, Naval Attache of
American Embassy in London, Is
Not Convinced that the Tyvo Fleets
Have Combined—Troops to Leave
for Canary Islands.
London, May 12.~—The Globe pub—
liishes a dispatch from Cadiz, dated
Saturday last, which says the follow-
ing ships, which are all ready for sea,
with the exception of the Pelayo, are
at that port: “
The Pelayo, Vitoria, Carlos V., Almi-
rante Oquendo, Vizcaya, Maria Teresa,
Bristobal Colon, Alfonso XIII., Pluton,
E’roserpina, Osado, Audaz, Furor, Ter-
ror, and also several torpedo boats,
transports and the Normannia and the
Columbia, formerly of the Hamburg-
American line, which have been re-
named Patricia and the Rapido.
The Correspondent of the Globe adds
that he believes the squadron sailed.
of
yesterday, and says a number
iroops leave for the Canary Islands on
Sunday, while three battalions of ma—
rines are quartered at San Fernando
ready for embarkation. ‘
Lieut. Colwell, the Naval Attache of
:he United States Embassy, said that
fire was by no means convinced that
the Spanish Cape Verde squadron is
really at Cadiz.
VIUCH MYSTERY ABOUT THE FLEET.
Spanish Minister of Marine Declares
It IsNot at Cadiz.
London, May 12.—The Madrid corre—
spondent of the Daily Mail says: "Ad-
niral Bermejo, Minister of Marine, de-
iies that the Cape Verde Squadron has
'eturned to Cadiz. He affirms that this
fleet at the present moment ‘is where it
ought to be, according to the instruc—
tions given it.’ ”
Admiral Bermejo's statement need
not be construed to mean that Admiral
Villamil's squadron is speeding west-
ward to seek a fight with Rear Admiral
Sampson. It would not be surprising
:0 the navy strategists, however, if this
were the fact. They are acting as if
:he information from Cadiz, made pub-
‘ic on Tuesday, were a Spanish ruse.
They guess that perhaps Bermejo is
trying to deceive the turbulent people
of Spain. There is nothing to show
that the squadron should be off Port-0
Rico now, if it “is where it ought to be
according to the instructions given it,”
because there is no record that when it
left Cape Verde the squadron had in—
structions to sail westward.
NOTHING KNOWN IN LONDON.
July Tw‘o Auxiliary Cruisers and Two
Torpedo Boats at Cadiz April 20
London, May l2.—Nothing is known
here of the whereabouts of the Span—
ish fleet. Only two auxiliary cruisers
and two torpedo boats were at Cadiz
on April 29.
Inquiries on board ships which have
recently arrived from the Canary Isl-
ands, the Island of Madeira, Teneriffe
and Gibraltar, show that nothing has
been seen of the Spanish fleet. The
British steamer Galicia, Capt. Bird,
which left Cadiz on April 29, reports
that the only Spanish war vessels
there were the auxiliary cruisers Nor—
mannia and Columbia, two torpedo
boats and an armed yacht, possibly
the Giralda.
The British steamer Tetuan, which
has just arrived here from Gibraltar,
after leaving Las Palmas on April 29,
Teneriffe on April 30, and Madeira on
May 2, saw no signs of the Spanish
fleet. She reports, however, that great
excitement prevailed at the Canary Isl—
ands when she was there.
Stock Exchange Incl-ed ulons.
London, May 12.——On the Stock Ex-
change here the report that the Span—
ish Cape Verde squadron had returned
to Cadiz was generally discredited,
though the opinion was freely ex—
pressed that, if the rumor was true, it
indicated the intention of .Spain to
throw up the sponge and leave the
West Indies to their fate, thus opening
the way to an early peace.
This is understood to be strongly de-
sired in certain quarters, and the effect
of the seeming backdown of Spain was
beneficial.

Mobs ‘vVon-k in Madrid.
London, May 12.—-A. special dispatch
from Madrid says a mob burned a
huge grain warehouse yesterday. The
structure is reported to be a total loss.
A serious riot has taken place at Lo—
grono, capital of the Spanish province
of that name, on the Elbro, sixty miles
from Burgos. The grain and provision
stores were attacked and pillaged by
rioters, who included numbers of
women armed with axes, choppers and
:udgels.
The cavalry charged the mob, but
the soldiers were repulsed ,by the de-
termined onslaught made upon them:
The Neutrality of Austria.
Budapest, May 12.—Emperor Francis
loseph. replying to the addresses of
the members of the delegations, who
were received in audience by His Maj—
esty yesterday. declared that Austria’s
.‘elations with all the powers, especial-
ly with the neighboring States, were of
the very best. The Emperor also re-
ferred with regret to the hostilities be-
tween the United States and Spain, and
said that while he had resolved to
mainta‘in strict neutrality, he hoped the
"distressing struggle will soon be
ended.”
50.000 Volunteers Ready to March.
W'ashington, May l.2.~—Fif.ty thousand
volunteers are ready for the field, ac-
cording to the Adjutant General's of-
fice. Responses to the hurry orders
issued for the volunteers to go to the
coast have been, prompt. The Gov-
ernor of California wired that he had
two full regiments ready to go and
wanted to know if he was not the first
in the field. The Department replied
that Montana was entitled to the
honor. Massachusetts says that its
regiments ordered to Tampa. are fully
equipped and waiting for the word.
Similar responses are .coming from
many other States.

Active Movement Against Cuba
Washington, May 12.—Th‘e Navy De-
partment is in almost hourly expecta—
tion of advices from Admiral Sampson.
What the character of these advices
will be the ofl‘icials do not intimate,
. but they expect interesting and import—
ant news.
It is rather a matter of surprise to
them that the President has not already
received news from the squadron via
St. Thomas and the fleet dispatch b'oats
which accompany Sampson’s squadron.
Plans for an Assault Upon Havana.
The Strategy Board is carefully pies
paring its plans for an assault upon
Havana by sea. in connection with the
regular army movement by land, the
work being rather of a preparatory na-
ture and not committing the depart—
ment in any way to a final ad0ption
of: this plan.
It has bcen represented that the fleet
with safety mighit assemble to the ex-
treme east of the Spanish fortifications
at the entrance of the harbor. In that
position it would be exposed to attack
by only one battery at the end of the
line. The entire fleet could enfilade this
battery and destroy it in short order.
The attack would be followed down
the line on shore, taking one battery at
a time, and thus reducing to a mini—
mum the exposure of the ships while
bringing the terrible concentration of
fire upon the batteries in turn. One
naval officer who was consulted upon
the subject, guaranteed that the fleet
could knock out all of the fortifications
one after another within two hours. “It
would like knocking down a, row of
bricks,” he said.
Gen. Scholield’s Viervs.
Accordlng to Lieut. Gen. Schofleld
tthe fact that Spain has centred her
fleets at Cadiz will only cause our gov-
ernment to move all the more rapidly
in executing its already formulated
plans for the attack on Cuba and Porto
Rico. To a correspondent Gen. Scho-
field said, and he wishes it to be dis—
tinctly understood that in thus express—
ing his views he does so not as a mem-
ber of a war board or as one in posses—
sion of the secrets of the department,
but merely as a military expert:
“The possession of Porto Rico is of
more importance to us now than Cuba.
It occupies the same relative position
in the lVest that Manila did in the
east. It is the key, the gateway, to the
Spanish possessions in this part of the
world. It marks the extreme point of
Spain’s possessions, and with the loss
of Porto Rico her rule on the western
hemisphere is ended for all time.
Early Capture of San Juan Expected.
“Undoubtedly our military experts
realize this fact and I look for an early
announcement of the capture of San
Juan by Admiral Sampson’s fleet. We
will the undoubtedly send a large body
of soldiers to take possession of the is-
land. I judge that before we are
through at least 20,000 troops will
be sent to Porto Rico.
“One thing must be borne in mind in
this connection, and it is that Porto
Rico has a pleasant Summer climate
and there will be no danger to our
troops there from yellow fever or dis-
ease. With Porto Rlco lost» to her
Spain’s fleet will be powerless in Ameri-
can waters, for without a coaling sta-
tion and a base of supplies she could
not continue an effective naval war—
fare against us. .
“I believe also that the Army will
move upon Cuba at once, and I wish to
take this opportunity of stating that in
my judgment the army has accom-
plished everything that could be ex-
pected of it. Of course there has been
some criticism of the changing of or—
ders from day to day, but this has
been unavoidable. The same thing oc-
curredat the beginning of our civil
war in ’61, although things were in
very much worse shape then than they
are now at the War Department.
No Further Delay Will Be Had.
“It has been, of course, impossible for
the army to begin operations until
the volunteers are ready to take
the field. They are now about ready,
and therefore there will be no further
delay. There were not enough regular
troops to hold Cuba or Porto Rico, and
therefore the army has been obliged to
wait until the volunteer force was in
position to reinforce it. _ .
“With Porto Rico in our possessron,
it will be a very much easier matter for
us to attack the Canary Islands and
Spain than for Spain to come.ove-r
here and attack us. The War Depart-
ment will take care to send out a good
reinforcement from the artillery branch
of the service to Porto Rico, and place
it in charge of the land fortifications
and guns of the island.
“These, handled and manned by our
expert artillerymen, will be of great
service to us in case of attack. The
uncertainty as to the position of the
Spanish fleet has also, of course, made
it necessary for the War Department
to change its plans frequently at late,
expected our War Department to go
right ahead on any specially mapped
out programme and- carry it through
without change, for it must be remem-
bered that although the navy was
ready the army was not, owing to the
delay in mastering in the volunteer
force.
”Now that it is definitely settled that
the Spanish fleet is in Spanish waters
we can get our transports over from
Tampa to the Cuban coast without be-
ing obliged to have them accompanied
by any large naval escort. I‘loo‘k for
a vigorous and sharp campaign from
now on, and a speedy termination of
Sépanish rule both in Cuba and Porto,
loo." ..
