THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY; JUNE 10, lS TO PROTECT TROOPS Assembling of a Fleet at Port Tampa. WILL TAKE TRANSPORTS 70 SANTIAGO The Indiana Likely to Be thé Flagship. a FULL LIST OF TRANSPORTS Se The most important development of the day was that another formidable American fleet has bsea assembled, consisting of six- teen warships of various classes, headed by the big battle ship Indiana, which for all- reund effectiveness stands at the head of the navy. This fleet is assembl2d at Port Tampa, and is to serve as a convoy for the troop transports from that point. The for- mation of this formidable convoy fleet is due to the reports, more or less indefinite, that Spanish ships are lurking between Florida and Cuba with a view of intercept- ing the troop transports. The Navy De- partment has not given serious credit to these reports, yet they are more or less cir- cumstantial. In order to avoid the slight- est possibility of a dash by some Spanish ships against the transports, this new fleet of sixteen warships was determined upon. Whether it was ordered from Washington, or was due to the precautionary measures of th2 officials in command in the south, is not disclosed It is known only that Com- modore Remey, commander of the naval base at Key West, has brought together this powerful fleet of convoys. It is strong enough, both in number of ships, size of individual ships and armament, to cope with any Spanish vessels that may be at large in the West Indies, and it entirely elimin- ates any possible danger that might attend the transporting of the army of invasion to Cuba. Capt. Taylor, who commands the Indiana, {s available as commander of this squadron, although it is not disclosed defin- itely who will be in command. Commodor3 Watson is with the blockading fleet off Ha- ana and cannot well be spared from that position, which will be maintained efficient- ly, 1 thstanding the drafts made to cre- large convey squadron. Capt. Tay- is regarded as on> of the most judicious and capable officers in the service, ard should the squadron command fall upon him, it is felt that it will be in capable hands. The Indiana will probably be flag- ship of the convoy squadron. There probably will he other battleships, but it is not deemed advisable, for pruden- tial reasons, to give the full list of the ships in exact detail. The Indiana is con- sidered one of the most formidable ships afloat, being regarded by naval expert as superior as a fighting machine to t of the terrible class in the British navy. She has a displacement of 10,288 tons, and a main battery of sixteen large guns, des many smaller rapid-fire and ma- chine guns in her secon y batte: Her largest guns are of the 18-inch type, four in number, mounted in turrets, two forward and two aft. The Sp ish Fleet. ility of forming this fleet was by the information, coming through official channels.that Spanish ships left Barcelona some days ago, bound for Cuban we probably Havana. ‘This in- formation came to the State Department from an agent at Barcelona. effect that the fleet incluc warships aad one transport. The tion was regarded as trustworth communicated to the Navy De and led to careful consideration. later came the reports from the ida that suspicious-looking sels, with mititary tops, had been seen in the offing. These last reports were recefved with some credulity, but naval officers were disposed to dismiss them as mytns. They were treated lightly, and some officials spoke of the matter as another case of the Phantom ship “Flying Dutchman.” But the better advised ones, knowing of the re- ports, as to the sailing of Spanish ships from Barcelona, looked upon the matter as one which should not be dismissed too lightly. A single troop transport, carrying no armament, might be at the merey of some stray Spanish ship, and there was no purpose to hazard the lives of 1,500 men on any of the transports, when reports came from two widely separated source them quite in detail, of the appr Spanish ships. Ships That Might Be Use While it is inexpedient to give the exact make-up of the convoy fleet, yet some general idea may be given of the warships which might be drawn upon for thi ice. ‘There are a number of ships which have been doing scout duty and others held in reserve, while Commodore Watson's large blockading fleet in front of Havana gives another source from which the con- voy fleet can be recruited. Fine auxiliary ships, like the und Harvard, with the torpedo boats can be used for scout duty, their swiftness permitting them to go far ahead as pickets to watch for hostile fleet. The sinaller cruisers and gunboats are also lable. Some of the ships which can be d with the Indiana are the Helena, Ban- ewport, Wilmingtot , Detroit, Montgomery burg, E ‘on, Dupont, Cush- ing and Foote. As stated, there is no de- sire to give this as an exact list of the con- voy squadron, but it merely Indicates with what facility the naval authorities can meet present conditions, without in any way weakening Admiral Sampson's com- mand off Sentiago or Commodore Watson's command off Havana. Admiral Sampson will still have ten or more ships, including four formidable battle ships, lowa, Massa- chusetts, Texas and Oregon, and the or- mcred cruisers New York and Brooklyn. The blockading squadron will continue to have twelve or more ships, including the four big monitors, Puritan, Terror, Am- phitrite and Miantonomoh. The Transports. Besides the fleet of sixteen convoy ves- sels, there will be from thirty to fifty transport ships, making in all a remarkable flotilla of transports end naval convoys. The War Department today gave out an official list of the transport ships thus far hired, in order to clear up” erroneous re- ports. The list shows fifty ships chartered along the Atlantic coast and ten on the Pacific. Those along the Atlantic will be used in the main for embarking troops from Florida and those on the Pacific for the troops going to Manila. The official list of ships is as follows.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. : NEW YORK, June 9, 1898. The much-talked-of “and “long-expected tobacco famine is practically here. Before the war with Spain began’ the air was filled wich prophecies ‘of suéh a famine. The Cuban rebellion was on, ‘but still there was genuine Cuban tdbaccd to be had. As the rebellion dragged along stories were heard about the price of tob#icco going up and the quality going’ dowh. But Ha- vana tobacco was still to te had for a price, vgs The importers knew all about it some time ago, but it fell upon the smokers un- a@wares. It has even reached the clubs which were supposed to be plentifully sup- plied with the fragrant weed.- It has de- veloped that the stock of Havana cigars is almost exhausted, and that the import- ers are holding on to the remainder with a death grip. ~The supply is to be appor- itoned so that it may last as long as pos- sible, and for that reason the sales of box lots are almost entirely prohibited. One of the largest clubs in the city, a club that a year ago bought over 150,000 Ha- vana cigars from a single importing house in the city, is almost in sight of its last cigar. It had laid in such a heavy stock over the winter that it was willing to sell to members in any quantity for almost any price, and row it will not sell a box at any price.

The Clues to Identity. From indications it looks as though the body had been in the water for fully a month, while Dr. Glazebrook ventur2d the assertion that the corpse had been over- board since March. This assertion is part- ly borne out by the fact that the body was covered with a short overcoat, the collar of which was turned up around the neck of the man.

The annual entertainment of the Bethle- hem Baptist Church, Anacostia, D. C., Wednesday evening was unusually attract- ive. The affair was under the supervision of C. W. Davis of the Interior Department, who has been for twenty years superintend- ent of the Bethlehem Sunday school. The chief attraction was a competitive were from every part of the United States, and came straight to this region from the far south, north, east and west.

To transport western und city men to a distinclly mountainous region would speed- ily change a heavy malaria into typhoid. Camp Alger is 400 feet above tide water; Dunn Loring, the camp station, is a few feet more elevated; the road to camp is short and excellent; the climatic conditions delightful. There is no reason, then, why the distant families of these soldiers should have their grief and apprehension aug- mented by groundless reports. Especiaily does this seem an absurdity in a historic region where, doubtless, the fathers of many of these young men saw a large part of their four years’ service in the last war. percentage of their 5 2eutor, ‘iver, and cures: drill between the Dewey guards, command- | “June 6, 1898 N. rai sf all Sinan Wills pometed y's samme ed by Captain Lewis, and the Sampson 6 2 eae Ee petent attorney in daily attendance. guards, by Captain Sampson.

A vote of thanks was tendered the public for its interest, and especially the officers and em- ployes of the Interior Department for sub- stantial aid. Putting the Buffalo in Shape. The cruiser Buffalo, lately the Nictheroy of the Brazilian navy, which arrived in Hampton Roads Tuesday from Brazil, as stated in The Star, is not yet actually on the United States naval lists. She has been acquired subject to certain conditions that doubtless will be strictly fulfilled by the Brazilian government, but which have not yet been met. They are that the ship must be turned over in goog von titio 1s to huil and machinery. The ordnance will be supplied by the United States govern- ment in the shape of ten 6-inch rapid-fire guns, now ready to put in the ship. The OFFICERS: THOMAS R. JONES. E. FRANCIS RIGGS. W.
