latent Advices From the Wntloiml Capital
on tlio Wur Situation.
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

ANOTHER SPANISH SCHEME.
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.

Cadiz, May 17. Tlio dock yard authori

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.
