NO REPORT OF ANY ENGAGEMENT Ignorance Regarding Whereabouts of Spanish Vessels. CAP MAHAN REPORTS eos The naval officials are expecting interest- ing news from Admiral Sampson within the next twenty-four hours. It was offi- cially admitted this morning that the ad- miral was yesterday with his fleet near Cape Haytien, on the north coast of San Domingo, and about a day’s run from Porto Rico. So far no reports have come to the department of any of the lurid en- gagements that are said to have taken place in those waters, but it is believed at the department that if there was gun firing yesterday and the day before, as re- ported by merchant vessels, it was proba- bly caused by some of the United States vessels chasing the small Spanish gun- boats that are belicved to be cruising around in those waters, or else running down prizes. It is not believed that there has been any engagement between Admiral Sampson's forces and the Spanish ironclad flying squadron, else reports would already have been received at the department. From Capt. Gridley, Of the Olympia. the expectation so plainly manifested at the Navy Department that something im- portant is to happen very soon it is sur- mised that if Sampson does not strike the Spanish flying squadron today he may strike a blow at Porto Rico itself tomor- row. It is a curious fact that so far the 3 Department does not know posiavely where the Spanish fleet, and it is just possible that the vessels may be way over on the other side of the Atlantic, or, indeed, at Cadiz, instead of being in Sampson's neigh- borhood in the West Indies. That such a thing can happen is plainly shown by the report from St. Thomas that the Spanish cruiser Alphonso XUI arrived at Porto Rico yesterday or the day before. She is a formidable protected cruiser of modern type, and it has been supposed all, g that she was at Cadiz, Spain, form- part of the home defense squadron. ing The fact that she has arrived at Porto Rico without knowledge of her departure aving leaked out is an evidence that the Spanish authorities are able to guard the secrecy of their naval movements muc? better than our own people are able to do. Another Cable Cut. Word came to the Navy Department to- @ay that the cable had been cut between Montevideo and Rio Grande do Sul, thus cutting off all communication along the east coast of South America below the first and last named point, in the south of Brazil. this were not an accident it would be ‘ard to guess at the purpose, the Oregon aving passed far north of the break. I: 1s just possible that Spanish emissaries have cut the cable to conceal some naval demonstration or movements of Spanish ships in that quarter of the world. Capt. Mahan Reports. Capt. Mahan reported at the Navy De- pertment this morning. He saw Secretary Long and other o: Capt. Mahan took his place immediately on the naval strat- egy board, but Capt. Barker, whom ihe will replace, will continue as a member of the beard until the 20th of this month, when he assumes command of the cruiser New- ark. Senator Mason called at partment this morning to urge upon the authorities the acceptance for immediate service of the Chicago Naval Reserve. The serator brought with him telegrams from Mayor Carter Harrison and other officials, begging the department te accede to the requests of the militia boys. Secretary Long will do whatever can be done for the Chicago militia, but finds the department much embarrassed by many requests of this kind from other states, which he is unable to comply with. Capt Cooper, superintendent of the Naval Academy, came up from Annapolis this morning and had a conference with the officials of the navigation bureau, which ied to the remor that {it was in con- templation to advance the date of gradua- tion of cme more of the naval cadets. It is known that this matter has been con- sidered, but the bulk of opinion is that it should not be done. the Navy De- No Infermation About Sampson. Secretary Long returned to the depart- ment at 12:30, after the cabinet meeting, and joined the war board then in session. At 1 o'clock ke left for lunch, and on being asked as to Aumiral Sampson's fleet, he said he had no information whatever. Lieut. Col. Roosevelt, who continues to act as assistant secretary of the navy, says he will not leave to join his regiment “Cast not thy pearls before swine.” UNCLE-SAM: “HE'S A HARD ROOTER® for several days yet. In the meantime he is aiding Col. Wood, in command of the regiment, by hurrying forward the parties who are being recruited here. Senators Quay of Pennsylvania and Petti- grew 2nd Representative Bingham of Phil- adelphia had a talk with Secretary Long this morning. Senators Foraker and Per- kins were among the othr callers, but they failed to see the Secretary To Retain the Names. The Secretary of the Navy ‘thas decided to make no change in the names of thre2 new vessels recently acqu'red for naval pur- Poses. These are the yacht Free Lance, outright to the government by Mr. merhorn of New York, and the col- Hers Kinstor and Abarenda. ——_—____e LATE NAVAL ORDERS.

B, Coghlan, Of the Raleigh. AT THE WHITE HOUSE | — An Extra Cabinet Meeting Called by the President. THE WAR SITUATION REVIEWED Reinforcements to Be Sent to Ad- miral Dewey at Once. OTHER MATTERS DISCUSSED = ee An extra meeting of the cabinet was Called by President McKinley this morning to consider the general situation with re- gard to the war with Spain. The session lasted an hour and a half, and about every- thing in conrection with the conflict was reviewed by the cabinet officials. The President laid before the cabinet the message sent to Ccngress today regarding the achievements of Admiral Dewey and recommending suitable action by Congress. The message received the hearty approval of the cabinet. It is ascertained that the cutter McCul- loch has not left Mirs Bay for Manila with dispatches for Dewey, although she may leave at any time. The President is ex- pecting a telegram from Dewey at any minute over the repaired cable. It is be- lieved that Dewey will repair the cable as soon as he can get experts who know how to do the work. The President will then be able to keep in constant touch with the American commander. This prospect is welcome to the cabinet members, who are eager for daily reports from Dewey if they can be had. i Reinforcements to Dewey. It was agreed in the cabinet that rein- forcements will be sent to Dewey just as quick as they can be arranged for. Secre- tary Alger is now doing all he can to s cure sufficient transportation for about 5,000 troops, ammenition and arms. It is thought probable that the cruiser Charles- ton and the steamer City of Pekin will be sent forward with as many soldiers as the can carry without waiting for other ships to be sent. Cabinet officials say there is ho truth in the story that 30,000 soldiers are to be sent to the Philippines. They very naturally ask where that number of soldiers are coming from within the time desired to get reinforcements to the east. Secretary Long told the cabinet that he hopes to hear something by tomorrow from Admiral Sampson. It is still an unsettled question whether Sampson has instructions to bombard Porto Rico. It is positively known that he will do nothing of the kind until he meets the Spanish fleet or has come to the conclusion that the fleet has never sailed for Porto Rico and Cuba. A majority of the members of the cabinet firmly believe that the Spanish fleet has never sailed for this side and that it is cruising around in Spanish waters on a kind of holiday expedition. Nothing was mentioned in the cabinet by the President or Secretaries Long or Alger of the coming invasion of Cuba. Cabinet officers say they do not know of any change in the original intention to land about 5,000 or 6,000 soldiefs on the island to maintain a base of supplie: This plan was recom- mended by military leaders, and if there has been any change no mention has been made before the assembled advisers of the President. There was a brief discussion of the finan- cial outlook. The President is understood to believe that the administration measures pending in Congress will become law. He is satisfied with the outlook in Congress. t Giving Out Plans. The President divulges little of army and navy plans these days. The consequence is that the congressional callers learn noth- ing of the intention¢ of the administration, and most of them frankly admit that they depend wholly on the newspapers for in- formation as to the progress of the war. The destination of Admiral Sampson's fleet and the orders giver him, the matter of relief for Admiral Dewey, the invasion of Cuba, in fact, everything relating to or- ders to navy and army, are positively and definitely known only to the President and the few officials intrusted with executing the pla In carrying out the orders some of the details of what is to be done become known in roundabout ways, but so far no plan has been fully divulged. The Presi- dent does not even inform his cabinet of the details of a campaign. This is so be- cause only a portion of the cabinet is di- rectly interested and the others prefer not to keep track of affairs except in a general way. Before the cabinet meeting this morning the President saw many callers. Senator Perkins and Representatives Barham and Loud represented California. Notwith- standing their deep interest in the sending of California troops to the Philippines, the President gave them nothing, to indicate his purposes in the matter of aid to Dewey. The dele- gation did not ask or expect detailed in- formation, but would have been interested in anything pertaining to the probable movement of their home troops. Senators Allison, Gear, Hall and Mills of the Senate finance committee had separate interviews with the President. Senators Pritchard and Carter were also callers. In Behalf of Admiral Walker. Representative Boutelle, chairman of the House naval affairs committee, has urged the President to appoint Rear Admiral John G. Walker, retired, as assistant sec- retary of the navy, to succeed Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Boutelle says that his com- mittee is unanimous in urging this selec- tien, because of the experience and ability of Admiral Walker. It is urged that at this time he would be invaluable to Secre- tery Long. For the President to make the ajpointment, however, Congress would have to modify an existing law, requiring the appointment of a civilian, and this will hardly be done. Admiral Walker is not aware of the efforts in his behalf. The nomination today of ex-Representa- tive Charles Allen of Massachusetts set- tled the matter. Mr. Allen is a warm per- scnal friend of both President McKinley and Seeretary Long. Mr. Boutelle a Caller. Chairman Boutelle of the House naval affairs committee was at the White House today to see the President regarding the FINANCIAL.

The cabinet was in session and Mr. Boutelle did not get a long conference with the President. Major General Wilson of Delaware called at the White House today and had a long talk with the President in the private apartments of the White House. Secretary Alger Has a Conference. Secretary Alger went to the White House this afternoon for a further conference wita the President on the situation. It thought the Secretary informed the Pr Gent as to what has been done so far about getting troops, supplies, ete., ready for the Philippines. It is thought the President and his See- y of War are fully agreed that it will advisable to send troops to Cuba until something is known of the whereabouts of the Spanish ficet. When this question is ‘actorily settled there will be Httle de- sion, as it is now hoped to STATE TORS. Gen. Woodford Had a Half Hour Con- ference With Secretary The State De; rtment alive with dis- tinguished diplomatic callers toda. 5 Wocdford, our late representative at Mad- rid, came to the department about 11 o'clock and awaited the return of Seere- tary Day from the cabinet meeting, when the two had a half hour together. It coubtless afforded Gen. Woodford an oppor- tunity to report upon the closing phases of the diplomatic negotiations with Spain, althougn no statement was given out as to the purposes of the call. Gen. Woodford maintained the strict reserve he has shown since he entere@“the diplomatic service, and, while greeting all interviewers courte- ously, he said he must decline to say a word white he still remains in the service. He is still technically the United States minister to Spain, on leave of absence. About the same time the late United States consul to Barcelona, Mr. Clarence W. Bowen, called on Assistant Secretary Cridler, who has charge of consular affairs, ard reported his arrival. Mr. Bowen had an exciting time some months ago, during a former acute stage of the Spanish trouble. He said, however, that his recent depart- ure was attended with little excitement. He, too, is on sixty days’ leave of absence. The status of our representatives to Spain after their leaves expire is in doubt, as it is said the department has not had occa- sion recently to consider a case of officials whose services were terminated by war. A number of members of the diplomatic corps called on Secretary Day after his return from the cabinet meeting, including the Britis: ambassador, Sir Julian Paun: fote; the Italian ambassador, Baron Fava the first secretary of the German embass} Baron Speck von Sternburg; the Chinese minister, Mr. Wu Ting-Fang, and the Swed- ish minister, Mr. Grip. The unsual number of calls was due mainly to the return of Secretary Day after a long absence at Canton. sig Sart Death of Baron V Richthofen.
