Special to Kvkninu Herald. Washington, May 17. Navy officials hero realize that tho com bined land and sea attack on Havaua cannot but prove successful, but It will be no easy task. During tho past year military supplies of all kinds have, been scut to Cuba iu large quantities, and new factories have been erected commanding tho approaches from the sea. Tho reports that Gen. Blanco is short of ammunition ore not credited hero. That Havana can bo taken by a combined land and sea attack no ono hern doubts, but thero is now no disposition to underrate tho task that tho army and navy will liavo on their hands. Preparations will bo mado accordingly, and as soon as tho Spanish fleet has been disposed of an ad van co will bo mado upon Cuba with a sufficient forco to make tho campaign short and dcislve. Little reliance will be placed on the Cuban insurgents. It is tho expectation and belief of tho administration that the French government will live up to its neutrality and will forbid any assistance bolng ronderod to the enemy's fleet by residents of Martinique orGuailoa loupe. The Spanish fleet got little coal at Curacao, and the amount taken was so small that tho United Suites will make no com plaint. The unusual spectacle of threo American flag officers meeting with their commands at sea is about to occur in Gulf waters when Hear Admiral Sampson's big fleet, tho flying squadron under Commodoro Schley, and tho blockading squadron now oil' Havana, undor Commodore Watson, como together and form one command, the largest and most powerful ever assembled undor tho Stars and Stripes, undor the command of Admiral Sampson. Tho stringent orders issued forbidding officers and employes ef tho navy depart ment from furnishing information to tho newspapers, has caused a big growl among tho correspondents. Tho department, how over, will issue bulletins, but they contain llttlo information. Promotion to tho grade of lieutenant gon- cral is tho reward that awaits Gcnoral Miles for n successful campaign in Cuba. This grade in the regulararmy, which was revived for General Schofleld shortly before his re tirement, haB seldom been conferred on an officer iu time of peace. Gen. Miles has been Informed of the situation. A quantity of armor plato that lias proved Itself to bo tho best over mado iu this country has been accepted from the Bethlehem Iron Works of Ilcthlehem, Pa.

A Derelict Sent Adrift to Collide Willi lilocndliig Vessels. Special to Evening Herald. Key West, May 17. Wliilo the Associated Press despatch boat was off Mantanzas on Monday a strange derelict was sighted. Upon investigation tbo derelict was found to bo a schooner. Both masts had been chopped off close to tho deck. This fact showed that tho schooner had not been wrecked. It is presumed tho vessel was a Spanish schooner sent adrift to harm somo of tho United States blockading vessels. Another Cull Likely. Special to Evening Herald, Washington, May 17. Thero is not much doubt iu administration circles that President McKinley has under contemplation tho call ing for more volunteer troops. It is said a bill for that purpose Is being framed. This bill, if introduced, will authorize tho Prcsi dent to issue a call for troops at such time as he soea fit, and without regard to a dtfiuito apportionment among tho sovoral states This plan, however, may hold only la case tho number decided upon does not exceed 50,000 men. If It should bo decided to call for as many as 200,000 Boldiors, tho ratio of population In each state to tho population of tho nation would probably dotermiuo tho uumlier of men to be drawn from each, com. monwealth.

Supposed to Go to the 1'lilllppliies Hut May Comn Here. Hpeclnt to Herald. Cadiz, May 17. Tlio dock yard authori ties hero havo announced that tlio leserve licet, which would consist of tho lVIayo, tlio Carlos V tho Alfonso Xlll., and tho newly equipped cruisers, tho Kapido and tho I'atrln, together with the torpedo destroyers Audaz and Prospcriua, will ho ready for sea in the middle of the present weok. Thero has been considerable difficulty in tho matter of obtaining skilled engineers, Spanish engineers being unable to obtain the propor speed out of tho torpedo catchers. It is popularly surmised that tho above men tioned fleet goes to tho Philippines, but everything depends upon what may happen In Havana. Were the first Spanish fleet to tako a good pesltlon and should any mis fortunes occur to tho United States warships, ho men-of-war now in Cadiz would bo directed westward, and not eastward. Tho 'clayo will bo tho flagship, and several armed transports will accompany the fleet. According to tho most trustworthy in- formation, tho Spanish cruisers Cardenal Cisnoros, Princesa do Asturiasaud Cataluna re not yet ready for sea, and therofore could not have arrived at Martinique, as reported.
