Washington, April S7.
General Stilus, coiniiiiintler-in-chief
of the army, lias arranged with the
Cuban representatives here for Lieu
tenant Iiownn's safe conduct to the
insurgent's cuinp. Rowan landed on
Cuban soil on Monday. It is under
stood the insurgents will be fully
equipped by the United States and
they will move to Havana in co
operation with our ilet. In this
manner the Spaniards will be at
tacked from hind and water simul
taneously. The Navy department is anxiously
awaiting nows from tho Spanish ileet
at Cape de Verdo islands and the
other ships of the enemy now on the
high seas. Tho latest advices from
St. Vincent, whore the United States
Consul is still at his post, is to the
elTect that tho ileet is still at Cape
Verde islands, stripped for battle and
ready to sail. It is believed, howover,
among naval experts here that Spain
is retaining her ships at that point to
draw the attention of this govern
ment from the movements of Spain's
otaer ships, the Pelayo, Carlos V and
other Spanish armed ships.
The department has received no
definite information as to the where
at outs of these vessels, and it is
believed to bo the intention of Spain
to send a force of vessels to bombard
northern cities on our coast. To
avoid such a contingency the plan
outlined yesterday, in drawing from
the squadron at Cuba, was decided
upon. The movements of the Col
umbia and Minneapolis in New Eng
land ports is in line with this policy.
1'hey will watch for the ilrst, appear
ance of the enemy.
Tho despatches say the Pelayo left
Cadiz on April 7th, and if her desti
nation was Cape de Verdo she should
have arrived there several days ago ;
and the fact that she has not arrived
causes suspicion on the part of our
naval experts.
There Is little apprehension here
for the safety of the Paris. Sho is
now considered out of reach of the
Spaniards.
Tho state department has been
notified that United States Consul
Williams has loft Manila, and arrived
at Hong Kong yesterday. The Philip
pine insurgents aro massing around
tho city of Manila and a Spanish
massacre may occur at any moment.

Tho fleet is in command of Commodore
Dewey, Ho has a strong fleet, but has much
to contend against in bombarding Manila.

easiness at Hamburg, where it Is re
marked that a blockade would damage

AN EMISSARY M CUBA
Lieutenant Rowan Has Gone to Confer
With the Insurgent General,
Calixto Garcit.
Kingston, Jamaica, April 27. First
Lieutenant Andrew S. Itowan, of the
Nineteenth United States Infantry,
under orders from the war department,
was landed on the Cuban coast some
where west of Suntlago, probably, be
fore dawn on Monday. His Cuban
gulde and an open sailboat were used.
The guides have not returned.
Lieutenant Rowan Is on his way to
the camp of General Calixto Garcia.
He will represent the war department
In arranging for the co-operation of the
Insurgents In the Invasion of eastern
Cuba by the forces of the United
States. Tho time and place of Invasion
will be controlled by events and the
character of Lieutenant Rowan's dis
patches. Lieutenant Rowan was detailed from
the bureau of information for this
dangerous service dangerous because
In his civilian dress he Is liable to be
treated as a spy. He speaks Spanish
and knows Cuba, having written a
book on the subject. Moreover, he is
an expert map maker.
Lieutenant Rowan left Washington
under Instant orders on April 9. He
was directed to wait here, prepared to
go to Porto Rico or Cuba. As he went
to eastern Cuba It la Inferred that a
blow will be struck there before one Is
struck at Porto Rico.
With him he took an odlclal Spanish
Bection man of eastern Cuba, with
emendations made by the war depart
ment hydrugraphers. The expectation
is that General Calixto Garcia will dis
pose of hln forces to cover a landing
of United States troops as prearranged.
A courier with Lieutenant Rowan's
Ilrst dispatches to the war department
will probably leave General Garcla's
camp next week.
