WHERE HAS SAMPSON GONE ?
Mnnr ThenrlpH Cimcrrnlnw Where-
nlHMitfl of Hie Coniinnnilcr of
North Atlnntlc Snnnilron.
WASHINGTON. May 6. No confirmation
Is obtnlnnblo of the various reports concern
ing movements of Admiral Sampson's fleet.
Persona who from their odlclal position
might bo supposed to share the confidence
of the administration are credited with the
statement that the admiral has gone to
sclzo Porto nice and this statement Is made
nftcr conference with the executive. On
the other ham1 , It Is asserted with almost
equal posltlvcness that the fleet has gone
to meet the Oregon nnd bring It In safely
to the north. Still another report Is to the
effect that the admiral has cone to seize
Mantanzas to bo used as n base of opera
tions. The oniclnla refuse absolutely to
make public the plan of the strategy board
nnd thus give nld to the enemy. There
fore these conflicting rumors ns to the
plans of the fleet can only be judged In
the light of their probability when viewed
In connection with the usual methods of
warfare. Thus to bombard Mntnnras with
out nt the same time being able to land
n sufllclcnt force to sclzo nnd hold the place ,
would Becm to bo very bad strategy , and
the fact that '
Sampson's licet was accom
panied by no troops or transports , would
Boom to negative the Idea that ho had gone
either to attack Matanzae or seize 1'orto
lllco. To attempt the latter would require'
n strong landing force , In view of the num
ber of Spanish troops on the Island , nivl
In addition It may bo suggested that Ad
miral Sampson would bo very loathe to
run the risk of having ono or more of his
best ships completely disabled by attack
ing forts needlessly , and thus leave his
fleet Inferior to the Spanish force.
A significant movement IB that of the Now
Orleans to Commodore Schlcy's squadron at
Hampton Itoads In place of the Columbia.
This Eccma to I ml lento a complete change. In
the character of the squadron , which , In
stead of being a flying. In the ordinary
sense , has now assumed the character of a
battle fieet. Without being as speedy as at
first organized , Commodore Schley's squad
ron Is now probably able to meet on oven
terms , at least , the formidable Spanish ar
mored cruisers which sailed from Capo
Verde for an unknown destination.
In view of this action of the department
nnd particularly If Schley should be rein
forced by some torpedo vessels , It may bo
assumed that he Is about to start In quest
of the Spanish squadron.
Chief Engineer Harris Webster , a member
of the naval recruiting board which has been
gathering material for the personnel of the
navy , returned to the Navy department this
morning. Ho Is Just from Norfolk , where
ho landed 104 good men who had been en
listed by the board. Commander Hawley
and Lr. ) Persons , the other member of the
loard , with I3oalswuln Larkln , late of the
Maine , an attendant , have arrived In De
troit , where they will tomorrow open re
cruiting headquarters.

WASHINGTON , May 5. There were many
conferences between the president nnd rep
resentatives today. The first comer was
Senator Burrows of Michigan , who came
to present some friends to the president.
As ho left , ho said : "Everything Is mov
ing along smoothly and well. What wo
want now Is Porto lllco. Wo ought to
have that tomorrow. "
"Will It bo as soon as that , senator ? "
"Yes , " was the response , "orobably In a
day or two. " Whllo refraining from sayIng -
Ing what transpired during his interview
with the president , his statement that the
Eczurc of Porto Rico is. expected to be
effected In a day or two was thought by his
hearers to be significant , having been made
Immediately after thes cnator left the presi
dent , though ho would not say the president
had given him any Information.
Senators Frye and Hale of Maine , respec
tively , member of the foreign relations com
mittee and chairman of the naval affairs
committee ; Senators Allison and Gear of
Iowa , the former chairman of the senate
committee on appropriations ; Senator Platt
of New York , and Representatives Curtis
of Kansas and Wadsworth of New York ,
were among the early callers at the White
House. The two Maine senators stated on
leaving the White House that their mission
had no connection with the general situa
tion.
Despite the hourly expectation of an of
ficial dispatch from Commodore Dewey by
way of Hong Kong , there were no import
ant advices at the White House up to 11
o'clock. Persons who were with the presi
dent today assert that there Is a strong
likelihood that Porto Rico will be in the
hands of the United States within forty-
eight hours. The immediate sclzuro of the
island , they assert , has been ordered ,
though direct confirmation is lacking.
Senator Lindsay and Representative Set
tle of , Kentucky urged the appointment of
P. P. Johnson and John D. Castleman. as
brigadier general : : . Representatives Gros-
vonor and Southard of Ohio sought a change
in the allotment of volunteers from Ohio ,
so as to provide inoro Infantry and less of

LONDON. May 5. The officials of the
Eastern Telegraph company , when ques
tioned today regarding the report that a
dispatch from Commodore Dewey had
reached Washington , said : "Neither Presi
dent McKInlcy nor any one else has re
ceived a message from Commodore Dewey. "
Such a message , it Is explained , must
necessarily bo transmitted over the lines of
the Eastern Telegraph company , either from
Manila or Hong Kong. The company knows
of 'no ' communication emanating from Ma
nila since the cable was cut. The com
pany has been watching all points for Ma
nila intelligence , being anxious regarding
the safety of its staff and property.
