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 saloon, 43 second cabin and 98 steer age passengers The Paris left South ampton April 22 al 2:05 p. m. ▼hen Traveling Whether on pleasure bent, or businees, take on every trip a bottle of Syrup of Figs, aa it acts most pleasantly and effectually cm the kidneys, liver, and bowels, prevent ing fever*, headaches, and other forms of ssdmess.
