Simnisli Fleet Could Not llojie to Copo With Thorn. MONTSERKAT AT OIENFUEGOS Must Have Arrived Before Ouban Blockade Was Begun. SPANISH OFFICIALS BLUFFING. The Report That Spanish War Vessels Are Bound For North Atlantic Points Is Dis credited, Since It Is Ostentatiously Pro claimed by Spanish Officials Themselves. The Campaign in Cuba, It Is Believed, Will Not Begin Before Next Fall-Only Germany and Austria Have Refrained From Declaring Neutrality. Washington, April 2S. The war sit uation is substantially this: The block ading squadron remains passive before Havana, with no present purpose, of bombarding, or of drawing the fire of the shore batteries. The strategic pur pose of effective blockade of the Cuban capital Is being accomplished to tho en tire satisfaction of the authorities here. There Is no indication that a part o the licet will be withdrawn for the purpose of affording additional protection to north Atlantic ports. As to the re ports of the imminence of a naval bat tle off the Philippine islands, the naval authorities here seriously doubt whether the Spanish lleet will make a stand against the American ships. Their reason for this belief Is that the Spanish lleet Is very Inferior in number and qunllty to the American force under Commodore Dewey. The department, therefore, Is satisfied that the Spanish fleet will not go to do bat tle on the high seas with Admiral Dewey, but will remain in port to se cure the protection of the batteries of Manila, and are not expecting an en gagement for about two days. No Certainty of im Kiiiriiuoiiiput. There Is no certainty that there will be an engagement at nil In tho Imme diate future, tho main purpose of the expedition being to seize and hold some suitable Spanish territory In the Phil ippines ns a base of operations In Asiatic waters. It Is possible that this can be done without attacking tho other at all, by seizing a suitable port on some adjacent Island, without fortifi cations, the sympathy of whose Inhab itants arc towards the Insurgents. No word has come to the department of the arrival of the Spanish troopship Montserret at Clenfuegos. The of ficials are inclined to believe that If she has gotten In that port she did so before the blockade of Clenfuegos had begun. The press dispatch stated that she carried 1,000 soldiers, $500,000 In specie and 18 big guns. The very fact that the Madrid of ficials have rather ostentatiously de clared that the Spanish lleet has sailed to bombard the cities on the north At lantic coast Is taken as a certain Indi cation at the navy department of the utter Improbability of such a move ment. If this were contemplated the Spanish ofllclnls would be the very last to make their purpose public. Some vexation Is felt at the navy de partment at the Injury sustained by the torpedo boat Cushlng. It Is said that this Is the llrst serious breakdown she has suffered in the nine years of her service. Luckily the department will be able to replace her very shortly, for President JIalster, of the Columbian Iron works, announces that the tor pedo boat JlcKee, a 20 knotter, is ready for trial today. She will be sent at once to Norfolk to have the finishing touches added, and then will Join the squadron. I The Cushlng Is on her way north j from the blockading squadron of Ad- j mlrnl Sampson, off Havana, In order i that repairs may be made to her star board engine, which Is wrecked ns the i e?ult. It is said, of nn attempt to show off her line qualities by Naval Cadet Boyd, who was temporarily In charge of her. The repairs. It is expected, will take about a month, and probably will be done at the Norfolk navy yard. It Is said that the vessel has had no encounter of any sort with the Spanish, and that there Is nothing In reports current that the Spanish gunboat 1A gerla had fired at and hit her. Cuban Campaign May lie Delayed. In the war department there Is a growing belief that the compalgn In Cuba will not be In full swing before next fall, when the rainy season has ended. That belief, however, has not prevented the olllcers whose duty It Is to get the troops together from pushing their work with the greatest energy. The enormous amount of wark Involv ed In Increasing the army, regular and volunteer, has caused Genernl Miles to abandon his southern trip for the pres ent. The state department posted a notice yesterday stating It had been officially advised of the issuance of neutrality orders by Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden, Itus- Bla and Colombia. To these should be added Great Britain, although the state department has not yet been officially advised of the fact. It Is supposed, also, that the olllclal notice of France' neutrality will be received today, as a proclamation was agreed upon at Tues day's cabinet council at Paris. Including France, four out of the six great powers of Kurope have declared their neutrality, namely. Great Britain, France, Italy and Russia. There re main of tho Great powers Germany and Austria, neither of which have yet acted. Tho delay of Austria floes not cause surprise, as Austria's sympathy with Spain Is more pronounced than that of any other country of Uurope. It Is not doubted, however, that Aus tria will assume neutral attitude sooner or later. The deluy of Oermany Is felt to be due solely to Germany's consult ing her own commercial Interests be fore shaping the exact terms of her neutrality proclamation. From the llrst Germany and Great Britain have opposed the right of search as detrimental to British and German commerce. Thus far Spain has announced a much more radical doc trine than the t'nlted States In this inujter. .The f-Jpaulfih order, published in tnc titnctiu linzette last Monday an nounced the puipose of exercising the right of search of nil merchant ships on the high seas. The president's proc- ! lnmatlon of Tuesday qualified the right of search by saying that It Is "to bo exercised with strict regard of the right of neutrnls, and the voyages of mall steamers are not to be Interfered with, except on the clearest ground of suspicion," etc. It Is understood thnb this matter of right of search Is causing the hesitation i on the part of Germany, and that If It Is satisfactorily established that German merchant ships 'shall not be subject to harassment Germany will adopt the same course ns other nations. The action Inken already by four of the six great powers shows there will be no concert of Interference either between the great powers or between tho three powers constituting the drcl buad. The Altitude of I'ortmrnl. The attitude of Portugal Is felt to b9 more Important Just nt present than that of any of the great powers of Eu rope, owing to the presence of the Spanish lleet at tho Cape Verde Islands, belonging to Portugal. Neither the state department or the Portuguese minister at Washington, Viscount de Snnto-Thyrso, bus received word as to the purpose of Portugal on the question of neutrality, nnd the report that she hud ordered Spanish ships to leave Capo Verde Islands Is disproved. This caused considerable apprehension In olllclal circles here, ns It was felt that Portugal's vlclnnge to Spain might In cllne her to withhold neutrality for a time. She owns the Cape Verde group, the Azores and the Madeiras, which would give the Spanish lleet three very Important bases of operations. Th( press dispatch from Lisbon last even Ing saying that the cabinet council would declare neutrality today relieved this apprehension considerably. The effect of the decree will be to compel the Spanish licet nt Cape Verde to leave Immediately. It Is felt, however. that Portugal has done her neighbor n good turn in deferring the proclama Hon, as the Spanish lleet has been lay Ing In stores and coal for several days past, and doubtless will be fully equip ped nnd ready to sail before the lieu trallty proclamation forces them out of Portuguese waters. ' Colombia Is the only South or Cen tral American country which thus far has declared neutrality. Spuln has counted much on the co-operation of Spanish-American countiles, but there Is no reason to doubt that ull of them will adopt a neutral position. Members of the diplomatic corps dis miss tho report coming from ISurope that another move toward European Intervention will be made as soon as Spain suffers a decisive reverse. It is accepted as settled that no more- ships Intended for the American navy can leave the port of those countries which have declared their neutrality, This result Is most serious in the case of the cruiser Albany, now at the Arm strong yaids, Elswlch, England. The view among diplomatic olllclnls Is that neither the Albany nor the torpedo boat Somers can leave, even though the United States flag was raised over them before the proclamation of neu trallty was Issued. I'ortiitrnr nitTI ToutralItv. Lisbon, April 2S. In the house of peers yesterday the government denied the rumor3 published In Spain that President McKlnley had called upon Portugal to obtain the departure of tho Spanish squadron from St. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands. Senhor Do Bor. ros Gomes, the minister of foreign at- fairs, said, supplementing the olllclal denial: "Portugal knows how to main tain a strict neutrality." 3 I A Pleasure at Last.

Key West, Airll 28. Still another prize steamed into the harbor yester day. She was the Ambroslo Bolivar, little Cuban coasting steamer, taken by the monitor Terror oft Cardenas. The Bollver looked like a toy boat as the prize crew brought her In, nnd her capture by the great monitor was a curious sequel to the achievement of the Mangrove Tuesdny In taking a big transatlantic liner, the Panama. But the Juvenile Spaniard was richer than she looked, as it was learned when $70,000 of silver specie was found stored away In her, beside a valuable cargo of bananus and 300 casks of wine. She was bound from Port Llmon, Costa Plea, for Havana by way of Cardenas, with seven passengers and a crew of ten. Needless to sny the Terror had no dllllculty In making the capture. One blank shot suflleod to bring her to, and Carpenter Luther D. Martin, with a party of matlncs, was put aboard to bring her to Key West. iVbout the time this capture was made tho Norwegian steamer Uo, Cap tain Bryde, from Philadelphia for Car denas, with 1,000 tons of coal, attempted to run the blockade and land her cargo, but she was summailly turned back to Key West. The monitor Terror on Sunday took a little prize, news of which was first learned yesterday, the Spanish schoon er Saco, with a cargo of sugar. Pay master Sampson and three men were put on board as n prize crew and order ed to bring her here. Incoming boats report the blockade situation unchanged and all peaceful about the Havana division of the lleet. A story came from Cardenas, however, on good authority, although otherwise unconfirmed, that the torpedo boat Foote, which drew fire from the Ma tanzas batteries a few days ago, was fired on again Tuesday by three gun boats and two torpedo boats that were laying mines In Cardenas harbor. The cruiser Detroit had a lively two hour chase nfter a mysterious gun boat Monday night. A torpedo boat re ported "Spanish gunboat to the west ward," and a little later the battleship Iowa signaled the Detroit "two Spanish gunboats to the westward." Tho De troit started at once on the search, but after thoroughly scouiing the waters she found no trace of the enemy. Robbed the Grave.

Surgeon Gen eral Wyman, of the Marine hospital Hervlce, Is perfecting arrangements for nn excellent system of quarantine pro tection (iRnlnst the Introduction of yel low fever or smnllpox as a "result of military and nival communication be tween the Pulled States and Cuba. Pour or live suiseunH uf the Marine hospital service who have had ex perience In Cuba and are familiar with the yellow fever will accompany the troops to the Island. The surgeons not only will aid In protecting the troops from the spread of the epidemic, but will see that contagion is not conveyed back to the United States. This last danger Is felt to be tho one needing tho greatest attention. Marine hospital In spectors will be stationed nt every point along the gulf and the Atlantic where troops ore debarked on return ing from Cuba, and they will conduct a rigid system of Inspection and quar antine. The authorities feel that strict quarantine, and n subsequent deten tion on high ground, will so free the troops from Infection that there will be no danger following their future scattering to various northern points.

A Straw Slinwlnir tho Trend of Popu lar feellni; Atrnltlst ITm. London, April 28. The trend of En glish sentiment toward Spain Is be coming so pronounced as to be a gen erally recognized fnct. All resident iVmerlcnns, oven Amerlenn diplomats, nre compelled to admit It. Although the government's friendly attitude Is unchanged, It Is questioned whether a majority In pnillament Is not now Spanish In Us sympathies, although a. week ugo practically unan muus nar- tlsans of the United S'tatcs. A straw Indlcntlng the direction of the wind is shown nt a popular music hall In London, where nightly pictures of the American nnd Spanish warships are shown by the klnetoscopo.
