ADMIRAL GAMARA’S FLEET .The New Minister of Elm-inc Has Injected the Greatest Activity in His Deparment It Is, Said He Has Received Offers of War Munitions from Many 'Quarters— The New Minister Talks of the valor of the Cavite Victims. Madrid, May 21.—Admiral Camera, the commander of the, Cadiz squadron, is here, receiving instructions relative to the destination of his ships, which, it is explained, “depends upon the re- quirements of .the wan", The new minister of marine has in- jected the greatest activity in :his de— partment. It is said he has received of— ‘ fers of war munitions from many quar- ters. It llS evident the new Spanish cabinet intends .to push the campaign vigor— ously, and, it is added, the ministers “will also' negotiate actively with for- eign diplomaitists to protect Spain against a combination of her enemies.” It is understood that Senor Leon y Cas- tillo, the Spanish ambassador at Paris, who was offered the portfolio of minis- ter for foreign affairs by Senor Sagas- ta, will remain at the French capital in order to “continue important negotia- tions which are now pending.” In taking possession of the admiralty, the new minister of marine made a pa— triotic speech to the assembled ofl‘icers, during which ‘he recalled “the splendid example set by 'our sailors at Cavite in dying for Spain.” Lieutenant Arturo de C-arantha, the former Spanish navalattac'he at Wash- ington, 1has arrived here. He is quoted as sayinghe was closely watched in Canada by agents of the United States government. ‘“ Advices from Manila say the situa- tion there has improved. Captain Gen- eral Augusti, it is added, has regulated the price of provisions. It is also re- ported from Manila that the foreign colonists have sent the captain general expressions of sympathy with Spain. This is markedly the case with the Ger- man colony, and the action of the Ger- mans is said to be due ’to orders receiv- ed by the German consul from Berlin. BOUND FOR WASHINGTON.

STRENGHTENING DEFENCES. / Spaniards Have Erectcd Twelve Batteries Since the Declaration of War. Key West, May 21.—There has been surprising energy on the part of the Spaniards since the declaration of war in strengthening the defences of the city of Havana. A month ago there were only two batteries Within three miles east of the city. There are fourteen now. The shore looks to be almost one continu- ous line of earthworks, and they are growing larger and stronger daily. To the westward new earthworks are also going up. ' ' Cubans Honor Marti. New York, May 21.—Cubans in this city are‘happy Ito-day in the fact that the memory of Jose Marti the promoter of the revolution, who was killed in battle May 19, 1895, has been suitably honored.

Washington, May 21.-——The senate committee on finanCe finds it necessary to make additional amendments to the war revenue bill before proceeding fur- ther with the measure, and an ad- journment of the Senate will be taken until Monday in order to allOw the com- | mittee to devote the entire day to-mor- row to this work. ' . A session of the committee was. held ' \to-day, but there was not sufficient , time 'to reach a. conclusion, and this meeting was given over to a discussion of the changes necessary and in 'try- ling to arrive at an understanding oi what should be done to perfect the bill. There is no division of party lines on most of the changes required, “as they are largely of a xtechnical character. The most important change which has been urged, and which now seems likely to be made, is that altering the tobacco schedule. It looks as if the House rate of twelve cents a pound will be restored on manufactured to- bacco, and as 'if there also would be a change in Ithe schedule as it affects cig- arettes. There are some technical er- rors to be corrected in schedule B re‘ garding proprietary medicines. The question raised here is as to the itime the stamp should be affixed, and 'there is much difference of oninion on this point. . There is also a desire to have mutual life companies exempt from some of mm requirements of the provision in regard to lthe insurance organizations, and a movement to, restore the House prOViS‘ lion relating to building and loan asso- ciations. These and probably other matters will be gonsidered at to-mor- row’s meeting. It is said by members of Congress that they are now receiving more let- ters from retail druggists than any other class of revenue bill remons- ‘trants. The druggists do not want to have to stamp their goods in stock, be- cause rthe sale of many proprietary medicines is so slow, but :they are wil- ling Itvo have the tax assessed on the goods as sold, and put the stamp on at that time. The bill in final shape will doubtless provide Ithat goods in stock need not be stamped. This is «the im- port of the Senate amendment. —.,-_.—‘._. TROOPS FOR MANILLA. Four Transports Will Leave San Francis- co To-morrow or Sunday. W'ashington, May 21.——-Admiral Dew— ey’s urgent request to |hurry Itroopsto Manila has aroused the war department to the greatest energy since the war began;-~ ' ' Eight Ithousand troops will sail from San Francisco to-day or to-morrow. . Four transports will carry the troops. Two of them will be the City of Pekin and the Australia. The cruiser Charles— ton will act as consort. * ' The policy of the government, influ— enced by Admiral .‘Dewey’s request to use all haste and General Merritt’s statement, has further broadened the scope ofthe expedition to Manila. Thir- ty thousand troops will be sent, if nec- essary. General E. S. Otis will com- mand the first expedition. Hundred Thousand Strong. Washington, May 21,—General Corbin announced that the“ number of volun- teers mustered into the service of the Uni-ted States had now passed the 100-,"- 000 mark. The statesin which the mus- tening of the quota‘of troops has been completed are as follows: California, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Min- nesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio,. Oregon, Pennsylva- nia, Texas, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyom- m0. This leaves but 25,000 to be accepted under the call of the president. The country is humming with trains carrying troops to the various camps of mobilization. Reports at the adju- tanlt general’s office show that fifty- seven regiments were on cars lhurrying to 'the destinations to which they have been assigned. Army Matters Before Military Committee Washington, May 21.—The House committee on military affairs directed Chairman Hull to call up Monday a bill providing for the pay of volunteers for the interval between their enrol- ment and muster into service. Also the Senate bill providing that officers of the regular army may accept positions in the Volunteer service during the war without losing their relative fanks in the regular army. Volunteer Coat-t Defenders. Washington, May 21.—Soon after the Senate convened yesterday, Mr. Hale, Republican of Maine, chairman of the committee on naval affairs, favorably reported from the committee of the House a joint resolution providing for (the organization and enrollment of an auxiliary naval force, which shall form an inner line of defence. An amend- ment by the Senate committee provides that the force shall not exceed 3,000 men. The resolution was passed. Russia Awaiting Events. St. Petersburg, May 21.—The public and press there are evincing great in- terest in the future of the Bhilippine Islands. Much hostility ls manifested toward any scheme by which the Uni- ted States, Great Britain or Germany, individually or jointly, \are to retain possession of the islands, and some of the newspapers urge the Russian gov- ernment to endeavor 'to obtain from Spain a lease of some or the Philippine Islands, in order "that they may serve as a Russian food base in the Pacific.

REASONS FOR DOUBTING Spain to Anxious to Spread the Story— Stat-cment Not Credited by Washingtor Officials Who Believe that the Spanisl Admiral is too Shrewd to Be Caught il Such a Trap-Cuban Delegation Inclin ed to Credit the News; W’ashington, May 21.——The report thal Admiral Cervera’s fleet )is at Santiagc de Cuba is not credited here in the bes oflic'ial quarters. The disbelief rest: upon three foundations: First, the in« herent improbability; second, the ser- vice from which the news originally proceeds, and [last but by no means least, the too obvious anxiety of the Madrid government to spread the state ment abroad. . The inherent improbability of thl news was well expressed by a naval of- ficer of experience this morning in Ithl remark: “We are not engaged in a war with children. Cervera is no fool, and only a fool 'would let himself be bottled up in Santiago or any othel harbor.” ' Moreover, it is impossible to see whal - good end could be gained by making a visit to Santiago. The 'east end oi the island is absolutely cut off from tho west end. There is no longer any rai‘. communication, and the mountain dis‘ tricts in the provinces of Santa Clara and Puerto Principe are infested with rebel bands, all mounted, armed wel.‘ enough for guerilla fighting, and able to subsist on the country. There lis nd such thing as breaking through any- where, even if supplies could be talié'itv over the mountain roads. And with thl exception of medicines and money,~it ii hard to see - what relief could b4 brought to the army in Havana by such a route. It was published everywhere yesteri day that certain warships whose namc‘. and nationality could not be ascertainl ed had been sighted of Santiago and the supposition is that 'these have been taken for the Spanish squadron. As a matter of fact, they were probably our own vessels, coming in for the purpose of cutting the telegraph cables, in ac: cordance with the general plan of is04 lating Cuba. While the reports from Madrid thai the Spanish squadron is at Santiago, are received with some misgiving, yel the officials of the Cuban delegation here consider the reports accurate, 21:) they bear out what these officials point~ ed out when 'the Spanish fleet flrsl reached Martinique, as the probable course the Spanish admiral would take. Being well acquainted with the Cuban coast,'its facilities for landing, pl‘OViS‘ ioning, defence, etc.', Secretary Quesada said at the outset that Admiral Cer- vera would 'seek to evade the American fleets and by a. circuitous route would make for Santiago. This,‘ Mr. Quesada pointed out, was the natural move by which the Spanish admiral would e5a cape a battleland would be mosfié secure in" making 1a. landing on Cuban soil. The present reports appear to bear out this theory. Mr. Quesada said to-day that the Spanish admiral would find himself se- riously handicapped ,at Santiago. Ii will be useless for him to attempt tc land provisions and suppxies 'to succor Blanco at Havana, as there is no rail- road communication between the two places, and an overland trfp would take six weeks or two months. Besides, Mr. Quesada says the Cuban troops ever run the eastern end of the island sura ' rounding Santiago, and lit would be im- possible for Spanish supplies to be car) ried overland through a country filled with Cuban bands. There are said t4 be about 3,000 Cuban troops in the im mediate neighborhood of Santiago, but. reports recently brought to Cuban offi. cials here show that they lack ammo nition sufficient for an effective assaull on Santiago. ‘ , If the Spanish fleet is at Santiago, Mr. Quesada says about all it can ac- complish is to secure a base of op ra- tions in a fairly well fortified harbor, and to lay in coal from colliers which are said to have preceded the fleet. MILES AND LONG CONSULT. Believed to Be Elaking Preparations fax .the Carrying of Troops to Cuba. Washington, May 21.—Miles has had another long consultation with Secrea ; The evening GAZETTE” 3"THi Sill‘llll no tary Long, and these repeated meetings are construed here to mean than a point has been reached in the campaign where the army finds it necessary to call upon the navy for convoys to ink; troops to Cuba. It is realized that this work is extremely hazardous at pres- ent. Convoys always are exposed to destruction at the hands of a determ» ined enemy, and with a squadron of fleet Spanish cruisers and torpedo guna boats of great speed lying in wait somewhere near Cuba, nothing but the most formidable convoy such as would be afforded 'by all of Sampson‘s and Schley’s ironclads, save the monitors. would suffice to give a reasonable de- gree of protection against attack. There are indications that the mili- tary expedition will make its real start vfrom Key West unless the atmosphere clears through the destruction or 'dis4 appearance from Cuban waters of the ; Spanish fleet. If the start is made from , Port Tampa, the ships with their heavy I loads of troops and stores will be ex- 1 posed to attack almost thirty hours, not allowing for the possibility of‘ spending much additional time off the Cubani coast waiting for an opportunity to 'land. On [the other hand, if the start is ; made from Key West, the film. rage of. the journey will be reflux! to the . Hanged Sagasta. In Effigy: VV-hite’hall, daylight hours of one day.

This flounce is cut away either side of the front, and acluster of fan pleats in satin of the same shade as the gown is inserted in each space, which causes it to hang gracefully at the feet. ‘Black bands of satin and velvet, in deep points, trim the skirt above the fans, producing the efiect of an over-dress—a mode towards which French fashions are slowly drifting. The trimming continues in apron ef- fect towards the back, framing the, fulness spaced with a close effect in the centre. _F0ur yards is the width of the skirt at the foot. .
