THE OREGON IN TORT.
CUBA TO IX INVADED WITHIN
A TEXT FEW DAYS
Aathoritiee Putted Over the Spuuh
Fleet Whieh Hu Sailed From
Cape Verdelalanda
WaSHIXGTox, Abril 30—Anxiety
ia felt aa to tha dewtinaiioo of the
more formidable part of tbe Spanish
fleet that ba* aailed westward from
Cape Verda ielanda .If they are
headed for Cuba the navy department
calculates that they aire likely to reach
Porto Rieo about May 7 It i* not to
be expected, however, tbal their arri
val at Spanish port* would ba made
public by Ibe Spanish authorities con*
trolling the cable, and supposing that
they are net detected by one of the
United States naval vessels which
will possibly be thrown out as a ecoot,
tbs first news of tbe arrival of tbe
fleet on this side is likely to be con
veyed by some neutral vessel trading
between Porto Rico and an outside
port.
The strategy involved in the Span
isb movemente is rather pnszling to
tbe naval officers. Assuming that tbe
four cruisers have actually started on
their way to Cuba it would rests that
if they arrive at Porto Rico they would
be in imminent danger of capture or
destruction at the bands of Admiral
Sampson’s squadron, which is unques
tionably superior iu offensive power.
In other word* tbe four cruisers would
be situated just as were tbe Oquendo
and Viacaya before tbe outbreak of
hostilities, when they prudently fled
from tbe port of Havana.
Ii was reported in department cir
cle* today that tbe flying squadron
waaabout to sail from Fortress Monroe
It ia assumed that if the report is true
the vessel* are to be used as scouts to
delect the approach of the Spanish
vessel. It ia not expected that in
case tbe armored ships were sighted
by Commodore Schley an engagement
would be attempted unless the cir
cumstances were peculiarly favorable,
for be bk* but two armored ships in
his equadron to pit against tbe four
heavily armored Spanish vessels. He
would, however, be able to hang oq
the flank of tbe Spanish squadron and
annoy them greatly while ruahing
ahead one of his flyers, tbe Columbia
or Minneapolis, to warn Admiral
Sampson and secure reinforcements
in tbe shape of a battleship that
won id ensure victory io action.
No word has yet come from tbe Phil
ippines, and even if there has been an
action between Commodore Dewey and
the Spanish naval force there the navy
department ia scarcely in away to hear
of it for several days. There is good
reason to believe that the commodore
will not directly attack Manila in the
beginning. Tbe report that be took
aboard before leaving Hong Kong one
of the most popular of tbe leaders of
the Philippine insurgents is regarded
aa an evidence that the commodore
relies largely updn insnrgent support
to maintain his footing on tbe islands.
If this be so, he would very likely avoid
Manila, the capital, and seize first an
other port where the insurgents are in
greater strength and where there are
no fortifications to overcome..
The war department ia getting down
to business rapidly. Plans have been
matured sod tbe policy of tbe war
board is rapidly taking definite shape
with the actual movement of tbs
troops and on the eve of the invasion
of Cuba.
Tbe utmost vigilance ia being exer
cised st the war, state and navy de
partment*. Secretary Alger is indig
nant over tbe publishing of tbe plans
-of the government io detail and is
considering barring all newspapers
from tbs department in consequence
of the published statement as to tbs
time and exact point where tbe troops
will be landed first.
He believes all that tbe public
want* to know and is entitled to
know is simply tbs fact that an inva
sion is contemplated. All correspon
dents here have known where the
troops would be landed and at about
what time, but they were given to
understand that it would be almost
treason to make them known and ac
enable Bianco to mobilize bis troops
to repel them
A dispatch received tonight state*
that the battleship Oregon and tbs
gunboat Marietta reached Rio Janeiro
tbie afternoon at 6 o'clock
The American liner Paris arrived al
New York this morning from South
ampton after a rough passage of 7
days, 17 hours and 45 minutes, with 9
