SPANISH FLEET RETURNS HOME The Vessels Have Arrived at Cadiz, Spain Possibility That the Spanish Flying Squadron May Take a Trip Through Suez Canal to Manila Nothing Is Heard from Samp sonPreparations for Hastening the Departure of Troops for Cuba Plans of the War Department. Washington, May 10. It Is hard to tell whether the naval officials were re lieved or disappointed by the new1 that camo late this afernoon to both thf navy and stuto dcjnrtmcnts to the ef fort that the Spanish flying squadron had arrived at Cadiz, Spain. The saf ety of the Oregon from attack Is now completely assured and the way lscleij for military operations In Cuba with out running the risk of having the oc cupancy army's line of communication cut off. On the other hand it is believed that no enduring peace can be secured until the Spanish navy has been destroyed nnd It now appears that to do this our sailors must make ur their minds to go nfter the Span lards, a task very much more difficult than that of meeting them near our own shores. It was suggested by some of the mcmbeis of the war board that there was Just a possibility that the Span ish squadron might make a quick pas sage into the Paclllc through the Suez canal and attack Dewey at Manila. It Is said that, contrary to the common understanding, the Suez canal is open to warships of belligerent poweis, so that if the Spanish choose to take this course they would have a long start of any pursuing fleet from our side of the Atlantic. It Is scarcely believed, how over, that the Spanish aro willing to take tho great risk of exposing to our attack their own home ports by thu withdrawal of so considerable a pro portion of their naval strength as would be required to overmatch Dewev. NOTHING HEARD FROM SAMPSON Nothing was heard from Sampson today, but there is a confident expec tation that lnerestlng news will be coming from his squadron within the next twenty-four hours. "Whether this means an attack on Porto Rico or not cannot be learned. One effect of the retreat of the Span ish fleet has been to hatten more the preparations aheady under full head for the dispatching of military expedt tluns to Cuba. It also has caused a coinrleto change in tho concentration plan J ime is now believed to be the gieat factor. There is no longer an oppoitunlty to Indulge in the extensive di tiling and practice manocuverlng. Tho regular army troops do not need these nnd are to be thrown at once Into the fray. Many of the regiments of the National Guard which are entering tho volun teer service a:e felt to be sufficiently trained from a military point of view to follow tho regulars immediately nnd the department indicated Its pur pose today of dispatching these volun teer troops directly to the gulf coast for shipment, Instead of sending them to Chtckamauga. This disposition was shown by the changes in tho new or ders Issued to tho tioops, although there yet may be a return to the orig inal programme of concentration If the plRns show signs of weakness as they develop. Tho quartermaster general has already gotten under charter twenty-seven mei chant steamers for the transport of troops and roughly speaking these carry ubout 20.000 men. Others aie being procured as rapidly as possible. PLAN OP WAH DKPARTMCNT. The plan of tho war department Is to hae these vessels assemble at the different gulf ports, Tumpa, Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston, to take on troops which will be sent there The navy department Is expected to furnish convoys for these transports, which would be absolutely helpless against Spanish attack. At this point there aro signs of friction. First the transports will bo obliged to await Ad miral Sampson's return In order to se cure proper convoy and secondly the navy objects very decidedly to under taking tho task of convoying a num ber of transports. It Insists that to Insure the safety of the convoy of the troops all of tho transports should be gathered in one fleet to start from Tampa and the navy Is likely to pre vail In this. Now that Major Geneial Sewell has been assigned to command the con centration camp at Falls Church, prep arations ore being lushed to put tho grounds there Into shape for the re ception of the volunteers. CRUISE OP THE MONTSERRAT. II Ii Claimed I'hiit She Him Hun the Wnckndn nt llnvmin. Madrid, May 10. A dispatch received the Spanish steamer Montserrat, which with a valuable caigo, tioops and a large sum of money, Intended for Ha vana, escaped the United States fleet and entered the poit of Clenfuegos, Cuba, has now iiin the blockade of the American squadion and has entered the port of Havana in safety. It is claimed here that this proves the block ado of the Cuban ports Is Ineffective. The Spanish mall steamship Mont serrat, which is alleged to havo run the blockade at Havana, nppears to have renched Clenfuegos on April 27 with 1,000 Spanish soldiers, $."00,000 in silver and eighteen guns of large cali bre, in addition to a very valuable cargo, Including a quantity of ammuni tion. The Spaniards claim the Mont serrat was sighted by nn American man-of-war, which fired on her. Tho mall steamer, It is alleged, mounting guns as an auxiliary cruiser, returned the fire and eventually reached Clen fuegos. So many utterly false reports have been given out In Madrid recently that American confirmation of the arrival of the Montserrat at Havana will be tequlred before the story of her block ade running Is accepted as truth.

The Norwe gian steamer Bratsberg, which arrived this morning under the convoy of the Mangrove, la still a prize of war, pend ing the decision of the United States on the question. The affair beare many features of resemblance to that of the French steamer Lafayette but like that case, it will be settled without any international complications. About two weeks ago the Bratsberg, bound from Progreso, Mex , for Ha vana, with 00 head of cattle, vvns warned off the Cuban coast by the blockading fleet. She put Into this port and remained a couple of days when she sailed, ostensibly for New Yoik to find a market for the cattle. She was piloted out of this harbor April 27 and was not seen again until yesterday morning, when the gunboat Newport sighted her about 25 mllej off Havana, Captain Tilley knew she had once been warned and, observing that she was floating easily and with cattle pens apparently empty, he hailed and boarded her. Captain Thorsen ttoutly denied that ho was attempting to slip past the blockade, but he could not satisfactorily explain the dispositi6n of his cargo and was sent In under the Mangrove's escort, in company with the tlshlng smack, Pcrnandito, taken by the Vlcksburg off Havana yestoi day. Thlfi was the only Incident of a lather dull day. There are very few ships In the harbor nnd interest dwells entire ly on the mov ement of Admiral Samp son's fleet. There is a great deal of sorrow heie over tho illness of Chaplain Chaplain Chadwlck, formerly of tho battleship Maine, and now of the ciulsor Cincinnati. He is confined to the Marine hospital with an attack of erysipelas but his condition in not at all serious. STEAMER GUSSIB SAILS. Loaded ith Arm nnd Ammunition for n bn ii liiaiirgentN.

EN THE MINISTRY CHOSEN-SOME OF THE MEMBERS OP IT. New York, May 10. Senor do la Cor tlnn, American representative of Don Carlos, left New York .last night to Join his leader in Europe. Before leav ing the city Senor Cortina repeated his statement that his departmo was due to a summons from Don Catlos, and that all tho other American Car lists had already left, or were about to leave, to assist Don Carlos In his next effoit to regain his throne. Senor Cortina said that Judging from the events of the past few days, Don Cailos would probably be established before he (Senor Cortina) arrived In Europe, but that In any event the presence of the American Carlists was desired at this moment. "With our knowledge of the United States and tho American people we will be nble to advise Don Carlos as to the expedience and the best method of cur lylng on the present war. "It Is possible certainly," said Senor Cortina, "that some way may be found to settle the difficulty when Don Carlos Is king; the American Carlists will en deavor to bring this about. Should Don Carlos, however, consider that the honor of Spain or the Interests of the Spanish people had been compromised by a peace, he would certainly carry the war on to the end. He would be In a better position to wage war than the present government is. Besides his own Immense fortune, which amounts to nbout $30,000,000, he inher ited a large fortune from his first w lfe, and his present wife, too, is very rich. Besides this, he can command the en tire foitune of every Carllst in Spain, France or anywhere else. They all would willingly give their all to the cause, and some of them are Immense ly rich. RUSSIA PLEASED. "Russia cei tainly will be glad to see Don Carlos established, for many rea sons. He served for years in the Rus sian army, and his eldest son, Don Jnlmo, is an officer there now. Don Carlos also was the late czar's great est friend. The Carlists of France are r very strong body, and since the death of the lato Comte do Paris the French royalists also have been urging the selection of Don Carlos as their leader. "Don Cailos Is already forming his ministry, and although the list is not yet completed I can safely say that nt least three of the ministers have been dl elded on. The marquis of Ceiralba Is to bo president of the council, Gen eral Wejler, commander-in-chief of the army, and Don Juan Vuzques do Media, who was recently expelled from the Coites for his freely expiessed Caillstic sentiments, will occupy a high position, piobably that of secretary of state " Senor Cm Una said the names had been ehosen, hut of these he could not yet speak authoritatively. The so called Republicans weie nlmost unani mous for Don Cailos. There were dip lomatic reasons for the present al leged differences. "Amei leans and Europenns alike will he astonished," Senor C'oitlna continued, "when they see the following that Don Carlos will have should he find It necessary to use force to establish his rights. But I expect he will got his crown peaceably enough, Judging from piesent condi tions " Crnuri Lndgo nl Rlkn. New Orlems. May 10.

Washington, May 10. As a result of the Spanish reverse at Manila, leading members of tho diplomatic corps, rep resenting some of the most Influential of the gieat powets of Buropo havo unofficially exchanged views on tho op- portuneness of a movement, dcdlcaU ed by tho most friendly spirit and In the Interest of peace, towards urging upon Spain the futility ot fuithcr pros ecuting war, and Inducing her to sue for peace on the basis of tho relin quishment of Cuba, the promise of a war indemnitj-, und the occupation of Manila by Admiral Dewey until tho war Indemnity Is paid. It was stated tonight by one of the most Influential members of the diplomatic cotps, an ambassador, that such a step by Spain was the logical result of tho crushing Spanish defeat at Manila, and that Spain heiself should bs the first to recognize It as a measure ot her own self protection and self pieservatlon. Her best friends in the family of na tions ought to uige It upon Spain, this ambnssador said, nnd It It were not for tho chaotic condition of nffalrs at Madiid, he felt that such peace ovcr tuies would be welcomed theie. With Spanish politics in their piesent dls oidcred state and a revolution Im pending, he did not know whcthei the men nl the head of the government were strong enough and brave enough to save Spain by a beioic sacrifice of her pilde. Unless thoj- did. ho said, the disaster of Manila would be ic peated, for it was now patent to the woild that Spain's mllltuiy and naval sticngth was grntesriuelj- inadequate to cope with the foices nt the United States, and Spanish pride would ulti mately be humbled Into pence on fvr moie seveie terms than sho iniuht bo able to obtain now.
