WATSON WILL GO
And When lie Does Spanish
Ports Will S'lffer
AND SO WILL CAMARA.
Final Plans Outlined For Wat
son's Instruction.
Washington, July 16 —An- j
other week without doubt will
see the departure of the eastern
squadron. j
Recognizing that the fleet un- <
der command of Camara will
have to come to the rescue ot
any of the port- chat may be at
tacked by the American squad- (
ron. Commodore Watson’s or- (
ders now require him to attack
a coast city. The department has
not settled upon the one he shal)
first attack.
This is a matter which has
been left to him and to Rear
Admiral Sampson to determine.
It may largely depend upon the
location of the Spanish fleet.
If Admiral Camara’s com
mand should be at Cadiz when
the American squadron reaches
European waters, naval experts
•ay that it will be the policy of
the American commander to
intke a demonstration upcn the
northern coast of Spain, with ;
view to bringing Camara around
in that direction. Unless sup
ported by the shore batteries his
destruction will Jthen be certain.
Admiral Camara will ariive
at Cartagena, according to offi
cial advices received today, on
Sunday. As listed by the depart
ment officials, Spain can only
place dependence in these ves
seis of bis fleet. The battleshij
Pelayo and the armored cruiser
Carlos N. (both of which ar*
excellent fighting ships, but no
match for the American battle
ship); the third-class battleships
Victoria and Numancia, not in
good condition; the torpedo
boat destroyers Destructor,
Audaz, Osado and Proserpina
and about eight torpedo boats.
In addition Spain has about
10 auxiliary cruisers which can
be employed for defensive pur
poses, but none of which have
the armaneut or speed of the
American ships. Besides thes<
« vessels, Spain has a number of
punboats for coast defense, none
of them able to take part in any
open tight at sea.
Tangier, July 16.—0 n one of
the quays at Gibraltar are at
present a number of large cases
addressed to admiral Sampson,
at Tangier.
Ministers and Counsuls of the
foreign Powers here state that
no neutrality has yet been de
clared. If, however, the Ameri
can fleet arrives, the foreign
representatives would hold a
conference, the result of which
will be communicated to the
Spanish Minister of Foreign Af
fairs, to be communicated to
Commodore Watson.
Reading between the lines, it
is clear that the Consuls will do
everything possible to prevent
the American fleet from remain
ing here, but it will be a mere
platonic protest, for if Commo
dore Watson insists on remain
ing no power on earth can dis
lodge him from here.
FvR watson’s coming.
London, July, 16 —Advices
received here today from the
Canary Islands under date of
July 4th say that the two Span
ish torpedo boats were still at
Las Palmas, and it was an
nounced that a Spanish warship *
was at anchor at Teneriffe.Ships

were not allowed to enter the
harbor after dark and the coast
ights were extinguished. Mest
of the visitors had left the place.
According to mail advices
from Cadiz dated July 2nd, the
old Spanish broadside armor
clad Vitoria, for some time past
used as a training ship, and
which was iowed back to Cadiz
after starting ostensibly for the
Philippine Islands with the fleet
of Admiral Camara, is the only
warship in the harbor.
Mines have been laid to protect
the entrance into the port of
C diz and the«coast lights are
ex anguished alont? the whole
length of the Spanish coast. Ves
sels are excluded from all har
bors of Spain after dark.
