Commodore Wat son's Eastern squadron will sail at the cud of this week. This was tho information given out at tho Navy department this morning. Information has reached tho government that, with n view to protecting hor own coast and embarrassing this couutry in its operations against Pinto Rico, tho Spanish authorities are thinking of dividing what rc- lains of Spain's navy and sending n poition of It to American watcis. This government has littlo to Icar from that source. It is not believed that Spain would adopt such u course, and oven if sho id it would not bo eil'cctive. Camara's lleet could not reach Porto Itico insido of tlireo weeks, and by that timo the army of In vasion would bo landed at Porto ltico. Should Spain send their remaining squadron horu it would only meet tho fate of Ccrvera's fleet. Tho auxiliary cruiser Yankee, with uiuiuu. uitioii for tho battleships Oregon and Massa chusetts, whieh will go with Watson's squadron, will arrive at Santiago to-morrow night. Commodoio Watson has despatched ouo of his ships to Hampton Roads to convoy tho colliers to tho rendezvous near the coast of Spain which has been selected. The Navy department docs not say what ships will accompany Watson, hut it Is likely that most of the battleships under Sampson will be included. Admiral Cnmara, accord- ng to the best information, should arrive at Cartagena to-day. At tho piesent timo Spain lias but two armored ships, Tho trial of tho Alfonso XIII shows her to bo tophcavy.

Dun Carlos is undoubtedly prepared lor and will attempt 11 coup do' ctat in tho event of Spain ceding any of her colonies to tho United States. . There is considerable speculation as to how the Vatican will act in tho event of a Carlist rising. A momber of tho Cabinet says Spain will grant only the abandonment of Cuba in slicing fur pcaco, and added : It Is to Spain's intorcst to bayo tho war brought to hu end, but tho end must bo reached with dignity.

PORTO RICO'S TRADE. The Foreign Commerce of 1896 Exceeded All Previous Records by Fifteen Million Dollars. Washington, July 18. In view of tlio present war plans, a comprehensive gtatlstlral lepurt of tho trade of Porto Itico, Just prepared under the dlrec tlffn of Mr. Frank II. Hitchcock, chief of the foreign markets section of the agricultural depni tment, and approved by Secretary Wilson, Is of unusual In terest. It kIiows for the first time the figures of the commerce for the year 18UG of Spain's eastermnst West India Islund. During the calendar year 1890, the foreign trade of I'orto Itico, ac cording to the olllclal returns, attained a total value of $30,021,120, exceeding all previous records and being a gain In the year of more than $15,000,000. In 1892-50 the total Imports and exports had an nvcingo annual value of $33,870, 635, as against $24,901,217 In 1887-01. Imports Into I'orto ltico generally have somewhat execedpd exports, but In 1ES0, for the first time In over a tlecnde, the value of merchandise shipped to foreign markets was slightly greater than that of tho Imported wares. The exports for 1890 had a value of $18,311,130, decidedly the largest on record, while the Imports for the same year, $18,282,090, were surpascd only In 1891, when the foreign goods re ceived amounted to $19,0SC,33C. The foreign trade of Porto Itico Is conduct ed chiefly with Spain, the United States, Cuba, Germany, the United Kingdom and France, having an average an nual value of $9,888,074, which was 28.80 per cent, of the total valuation placed upon the Island's commerce. Tho United States ranked second, the value of the goods exchanged averaging $0,815,252 a year, nr 19.91 per cent, of the total. Cuba's trade with Porto Itico amounted to 13.11 per cent, of the total, having an average yearly vnlue of $1,000,220. The Island's exports consists almost entirely of agricultural produce. Of Im ports, manufactured articles do not greatly exceeded the agricultural. Coffee shipments Increased notably during the decade, 1890 reports being the largest of the twenty years treated by Mr. Hitchcock, 58.780,000 p unds, valued at $13,379,000. The average an nual shipment, 1892-96, was $10,872,000 against $4,945,000 In 1887-91. On the other hand, sugar, molasses and to bacco showed marked declines. The coffe exported goes most exten sively to Spain and Cuba, these two getting over half. Most of the sugar and molasses Is destined for the United States, with Spain a second customer. Spain and Cuba receive most ot the tobacco. NAVAL DEMONSTRATION IN MOORISH WATERS. Spcclnl to IiVENlNO II III: A LI). Gibraltar, July 18.
