Every preparation has hoan made by the United States naval anthori- I ties for destroying the Spanish fleet, which it known to be off the island of Cuba. All signs point to a decisive battle some day this week.

Every preparation has been made to j destroy tho Spanish fleet, which is off Cuba. Key West has not been so deserted by | warships for weeks as it is this morn Believes Continental Countries Will Step In When Events (live Them an Opportunity of Appealing to Nobler Feelings of American People. New York, May 24.—A dispatch to The World from London says: A vete ran diplomat, who represented a conti nental power at various capitals for many years, but is retired from active service now, though well informed on current international affairs, said: “I expect European interference in this war, but not at the present stage, be cause the continental powers can find no pretext for stopping it as long as Spain holds out gamely. I have reason for supposing that Austria is only wait ing fur an opportunity to do something for Spain. But the Austrian emperor feels that he cannot go against the in terests of the triple alliance by playing too much into the hands of France and Russia or attempting to lead Italy and Germany to pick a quarrel with the United States. “Then, again, the Emperor of Prussia knows that Franco and Russia have many interests themselves to make them hesitate about causing au open rupture with America, or increasing the already visible tension of their relations conse quent on too public a show of sympathy with Spain i.i the Russia and Freucn press. “The continental powers will inter fere the instant events will give them an opportunity of appealing to the bet ter, nobler feelings of the American Persistent Humors to the Effect That Soiupsun and Schley Closed In on Admiral Cervera and Completely Crushed Him. London, May 24. — Persistent ru mors were in circulation here early today to the effect that a great naval battle has been fought in the vicinity of the Windward passage, between the eastern end of Cuba and the western part of Hayti. According to those rumors, both tho American squadrons closed in ou tho Spanish Capo Verdo squadron, com- n-audod by Admiral Cervera, aud completely destroyed the Spanish ships. A dispatch from Kingston, Jamaica, to Reuter’s Telegraph company yester day evening said nothing was known there of the reported battle in the Wind ward passage, adding that no American or Spanish warships have visited Ja maican ports since the beginning of the war. The London newspapers take it for granted that the ships reported yester day by Lloyd’s agent at Para, Brazil, as having arrived there at ‘J o’clock on Monday morning from Rio Janeiro, are the Oregon, Marietta and the Nictheroy. SITUATION NOW DESPERATE. I Flying Norwegian Flag Mny Furnish Enemy With Fuel. London, May 24.—The Daily Chron icle publishes (he following with reserve: “A vessel flying Ihe Norwegian ll.r; and sailing with Norwegian papers lias been fitted up in London as a coal hull: on au elaborate scale. Sh • lias been fitted from one end to the other with electric lights and has been, in fact, altered from stem to stern to receive and discharge coal in large quantities. “Some days ago she was cleared by the Norwegian consul in Loudon and pro ceeded to Cardiff, where she will take on :l,o00 tons of coal. Then she will be cleared, our information goes, fora neu tral port aud will proceed in tow of a tug' to Cape Verde to act as a receiving hulk, to which Spanish war vessels will go for coal. She will lie in a bay off the African mainland where her pres ence will be unnoticed and she will ho refilled from time to time by fast steam ers coming from various continental ports.” B DOLLAR NAVY Hni- s t </< i L If it M I-1 SUFFERING IN GCAD/tt^UPE.

CERVERA STILL OFF CUBA. Spanish Commander and !l!s Squad ron at Santiago. Madrid, May 24.—It is announced officially that the squadron of Admiral Cervera was still at Santiago de Cuba yesterday. Evidently the program in regard to the Philippine islands has been changed. It is believed here that there will be no not to insist upon making use of their ; superior power and resources to make ‘Spain feel too heavily the consequences ! of her gallant struggle.’ ” After a pause the diplomat added with great earnestness: j “Come, don’t you think tho recent . rp ‘echos of Sagasta, Silvela and even , that horrid Republican, Salmeron, point ! the same direction as my inferences? ! Cannot you read through the lines that those who can see beyond the popular agitations—which were very natural at ! the outset—really feel in their hearts that Spain, like all disabled, sinking ships in a terrible storm, will have to ; save the noble craft by casting over board a part of the cargo after all? immediate engagement in Cuban waters, “Sir, Spain survived the loss of her but that Admiral Cervera will draw off 1 American mainland possessions and will survive the loss of Cuba if she keeps the rest and averts revolution and civil the enemy while the Cadiz fleet relieves Havana. No news is allowed out of Cadiz, aud although it is announced today that Ad miral Camara starts thence tomorrow to rejoin the fleet, it would not be surpris ing to learn that the squadron has al ready left, and that the presence of Ad miral Camara, as well as the official an nouncements anent the fleet soon sail ing westward, have been a cover its departure. There is some anxiety here as to whether Admiral Cervera's entire squad ron is to reunite in Cuban waters. If the ministers are aware of the precise whereabouts of Admiral Cervera they are keeping it secret. According to published news here Admiral Camara, commander of the Cadiz squadron, has been fully in structed and returns to Cadiz tonight. Luke Almedovar de Rio has accepted warfare. PROVISIONS FOR SOLDIERS. Clothing and Equipments Also Keacii the Cliiekaimiuga Park. Chattanooga, May 24.—The work of unloading and storing -4!) cars of pro visions, which arrived yesterday and blind to i last night, was completed today. Up i to today the quartermaster department had received $295,000 worth of pro visions for the volunteers. The value | of the clothing and equipments already received amounts to almost as much. The quartermaster’s department is doing remarkably well in its work of ca..ng for the 85,000 men now in camp. The arrivals of this morning were the Third regiment Tennessee infantry and the First regiment Vermont infantry. Meat Exhausted at Manila and Riot ing Is Threatened. New York, May 24.—A copyrighted dispatch to The World from Hong-Kong, dated May 24, says: The situation at Manila is desperate. Food is scarce and meat is exhausted, while all canned stuff is nearly gone. Two weeks will exhaust the available supply. The volunteers demanded food, but the Spanish government authorities re fused to give it and riots are threatened. A delegation is said to be preparing to wait ou United States Consul Williams, as the citizens fear an outbreak. The insurgents control the surrounding country and Chief Aguinaldo, sent bv Consul Wildman from here, has arrived aud with his staff is organizing tho rebels. Foreign residents are moving from Cavite. Spanish reports say that 500 were killed and TOO wounded in the bombard ment by Admiral Dewey. All classes are waiting anxiously the arrival of our troops. There is no sickness on our ships. SHE COALED AT KINGSTON. Troopship Alfonso Obtained Fuel ami Supplies In Jamaica. New York, May 24.—A passenger on board the Atlas lino steamer Altai from Kingston, Jamaica, which reached port today, says that he was at the Bar- bodoes three weeks ago when the Span ish troopship Alfonso XIII put in there for coal. The port harbor master found that she had 1,100 men over the num ber of her crew. The Spaniard desired to purchase a large quantity of provi sions and coal, but was only permitted to buy sufficient to last to the next port. This passenger said that at Kingston the supply of breadstuffs was very short and that he knew of three vessels which had succeeded in running in full car goes of food supplies to the ports on the south side of Cuba, in spite of the efforts of the Jamaican government to prevent it. Present Struggle Leads Congressmen to Conclude That Our Fleet Should Be 31ade Superior to the One Pos sessed by England. New York, May 24.—A special to The World from Washington says: Tho agitation in congress for strengthening the navy is receiving the support of the ' administration, and this policy will Ic&iskRive, “to repudiate a policy so henceforth he one of the tenets of the Members of Chicago Societies Emphat ically Declare That They Will Never Fire One Shot or Spill Their Blood For England. Chicago, May 24.—Tho United Irish societies of Chicago, at a big mass meet ing in Central Music ball, presided over by John M. Smyth, a prominent mer chant, have adopted resolutions em phatically condemning tho suggested alliance between the United Stales aud Great Britain. Tho resolutions denounce the alli ance as uncalled for and nationally degrading—at variance with Ameri can tradition and tho sentiments of a majority of tho American people who are not of iaritish birth or ancestry. It is declared that such an alliance would result in a European combination against us and would make us partners in the crimes of the British empire against weak states and defenseless peoples. The resolutions call upon tho American government, executive and Republican party. As a beginning, at the close of the war with Spain several modern highpower ships will be added to the navy. The sentiment in faver of a stronger navy is so strong already that, were it not for the influence which is being ex erted, contracts for ships would be im mediately authorized by congress. The members of the bouse committee on naval affairs are, however, opposed to building any new vessels until the effi ciency of tho various types shall have been fully demonstrated by an engage- i ment between Admiral Sampson’s fleet and the Spanish squadron. Another question yet to be settled is whether 8-iuch guns are as effective as 10 and 12-ineh guns By request of the naval affairs com mittee, officers of the navy have been ! directed to observe carefully the beha- j vior of their ships while in action and to j embody their observations in a report to the department. The estimated cost of making the navy superior to that of England is ap- ; proximately $1,000,000,000. The highest authorities in congress and the navy dc- j partmeut agree that the work could bo I done in two years if necessary. It can bo stated authoritatively that the English type of vessel will not be duplicated. There are six shipbuilding | firms in the United States, which can turn out vessels of any description, while some coidd be constructed at the various navyyards. Heretofore it has been almost an im- , possibility to secure an appropriation | from congress to build warships. It has insisted that tho navy was largo enough aud that it would never be called upon to leave our shores. The war with Spain has demonstrated the fallacy of thin. The proposition to increase the navy has met with the bitterest opposition from representatives in congress living thousands of miles from the seaeoast. They have time and again declared on tho floor of the house that to increase the navy would be to waste the public money. But these are now among tho 1 warmest supporters of a modern navy, j suicidal that it could not fail to fill with disgust millions of loyal American citizens.” The principal speaker, John F. Fin er ty, said: “We will fight this alliance on the platform and at the polls. We are willing and eager to tight for America, but we will never fire a shot or lo-e a single drop of blood for England.” MORE WAR NOMINATIONS. List of MAIL FOR THE SOLDIERS.

SYSTEM AN EFFICIENT ONE I Navy Department Officials Now In Constant Telegraphic Touch With] the Entire Stretch of Atlantic and Gulf States. Washington, May 24.—After several weeks of work along tho entire stretch of the Atlantic and gulf coasts, the navy department has completed the most comprehensive and efficient sys tem for observing the approach of a hostile fleet that has ever been pnt into operation. A new bureau has l>cen created for this purpose, known as tho coast signal service, in charge of Cap tain Bartlett, who attends to this as well as the work of the naval board of information. The system has the services of 2,300 men stretchad along the coast from Bar Harbor, Me., to Galveston, Tex, These are divided into 34 central stations about GO to 100 miles apart along the coast. The stations are in turn connected di rectly by telegraph with the coast sig nal office of the navy department aud officers arc on duty night and day. Secretary Long projected the system a mouth ago and $75,000 was set aside to estalish the points of observation along the coast. Alter selecting the 34 central points front Maine to Texas, rush orders were given to build observa tion towers and towers for the observ- ators. The naval militia was drawn on I to make the different observation towers I and five militiamen, with the rank of naval quartermasters, are now otbJfuty at each of these stations. The towers are completed and also the small houses for their living purposes. There are 233 of these militiamen now in service. The next step was to have tho light house service made an adjunct to this coast observation. This was done through the co operation of the treasury department and the lighthouse force of 1,200 men, scattered from Maine to Texas, are assisting in the work of observation. The lifesaving service was brought into similar co-operation, so that now 1,0«0 lifesavers are added to the ob servation force. The 34 central stations, with the numerous lighthouses and life saving stations, make a complete chain of observation points, all connected by telegraph or telephone with another and with the navy department. By arrangement with the telegraph, companies the reports from these ob servers take precedence over the private telegraphic business, so that the navy department is able to get immediate no tice of the approach of any hostile fleet or suspicious ship. The system is simply a precautionary^ one, as the department has had no son to believe that Spanish ships we^ menacing i>oints along the coast. | essee, Alsou J.
