Washington, May 11. Naval strategists differ in their deductions drawn
from the reported return of Spain's Cape Verde iluet. Some see in its re
turn to Cadiz a hope of peace, while others believe it means a prolongation
of the war and that Spain proposes acting on the defensive, pending our
operations against Cuba and Porto Rico. By harassing our commerce, with
ler ileet at homo, Spain will compel us, after the above ports are taken, to
send our ileet to Spanish waters.

There is little doubt that Admiral Samp
son's squadron will be recalled from Porto
Rlcan waters to assist iu establishing tbe base
of supplies and operations for the United
States army In Cuba. They will bo needed
t cover the landing of tho land forces which
aro to bo sent to some places on the northern
coast as rapidly us possible, to begin an ag'
gressivo campaign with the ultimate object
of taking Havana.
The general belief is that tho seven Span.
Ish vessels that havo returned to Cadiz, for
fear of meeting our Ileet at Porto itico, aug.
monted by a number of other warships, will
leave tbe former port before very long. The
navy department will be informed of any
movement the Spanish licet may make.
A naval official to-day stated that Admiral
Sampson will carry out his work at Havana
without regard to tho enemy's naval ileet,

There will be very little delay In

GENERAL MILES.
It is announced this afternoon that Gen.
Miles may not start south until Sunday. It
is probable that some slight delay in the em

caused, although not by tho unexpected ap
pearance of the Cape Verde fleet at Cadiz.
It has been found absolutely impossible to
raise a sufficient force of volunteer troops to
start tbe expedition from the Florida coast as
early as next Suuday. It was this setback of
the plans whicli have been making for the
last two days that caused tho commanding
general of tho army to postpone his de
parture to the South to-day. It is probablo
that the whole expedition will bo postponed
until the volunteers at least are ready to go,
This may be as early as Tuesday of noxt

Rye, N. Y., May 11. two unknown men.
apparently laborers, wero Instantly killed by
a west-bound exprcsss train on tho N. Y., N,
U. & U. R. R. at tills station this morning.
Rumors Gave the Case a Color of Foal Play,
But They Were Oroundlesi-In Avoid
ing One Train the Victim Was
Struck by Another.
Rumors of foul play followed tbe discovery I
of a man's dead body on tho Philadelphia ,t J
Roading Railway tracks at Mananoy Plane
last night, but subsequent investigation shows
that tho rumors wero groundless.
Tho victim was a Polish young man of
about 23 years. Ho was known as Robert
and his last name had not been learned uc-
ordiug to latest reports, nor had the remains
been claimed. Robert left his boarding house
in Rauschtown, a suburb of Mahauoy Plane,
shortly aftor seven o'clock last evening. He
;iid ho was going to tho Piano to nmko pur
chases. About half an hour later threo Polish
men found the dead body of the young man
on tho railroad track, near the switch towers
and a abort dlstanco west of tho Mahanoy
Piano station. The remains wero terribly
mutilated.
Upon first report of tho ease a rumor
gained circulation that tho victim had been
assaulted and robbed, and tho body thrown
pon tho track to bo ground to piece by
tiains and tho crimo concealed. It is well
settled, howover, that tho man's death was
urely accidental. Tho place where the
body was found is between two largo electric
lights and iu a location frequented by many
railroad crews, and an assault could hardly
have taken placo thero without being wit
nessed by somo of tho railroaders.
It is believed that the victim was walking
on the south-bound track when ho hoard tho
whistle of a train approaching from the rear
and, in endeavoring to avoid this train ho
stepped to the other track and was struck by
tho north-bound mail tram. Tho deceased
was single ond it is not known that ho has
any relatives in this county.
