INVASION OF CUBA DEFERRED AWHILE
Nnvr tm Asnlii Looked tn for the
lnt < lc Which May Hrlnic to
an Kml tbc W r with
WASHINGTON , May 13. A complete
change has taken place In the offensive
plans of our government. The receipt of
the news from Sampson ot his attack on the
forts nt San Juan and the news of the actual
presence of the Spanish flying squadron off
Martinique , only 500 miles away- from Samp
son and ICBB than 1.000 miles from Havana ,
caused the dispatch of the Hying squadron
under Commodore Schley nnd the delay of
the army of invasion of Cuba.
It Is to the navy tint the government
natn looks for a battle that may end the
conflict. The news of the Spanish fleet re
vealed nt once the possibility of a quick
move on the part of the Spanish fleet that
would cut the line of communication by
water between Cuba and Key West , expos
ing to great peril any American landing
force that might bo caught between a su
perior Spanish army In Cuba and the sea
patrolled by Spanish cruisers.
U became necessary , therefore , to defer
the departure of the military expedition
from Florida until the Spr.nlsh fleet Is met
mid crushed or driven from West Indian
waters.
Orders flow quick nnd fast from both the
War nnrt Navy departments. The first
checked the movement on Florida , setting
In from all parts of the country , nnd di
verted the troops toward the concentration
camp at ChlckatnatiRa.
The Navy department wired Sampson In
formation of the approach of the Spanish
fleet and directions what to do and another
order Hashed to Schley , who has been eat
ing out his heart nt Hampton Roads In his
eagerness to get Into the fray , to start with
his vessels at the earliest possible momcnti
The commodore took no chance of n can
cellation of these highly desirable orders ,
but at 3:45 : o'clock had put himself .beyond
the reach of nny telegraphic recall. What
Is expected of him cannot be disclosed nt
the Navy department and naturally Is purely
n matter of conjecture.
Btrnnir ICnunvb Alone.
Sampson's fleet Is strong enough unaided
to overcome the Spanish flying squadron if
ho can ever catch It out of reach of for
tifications. Ills fleet , however , Is lacking in
speed as compared to the Spanish vessels
and co-operation on the part of our flying
squadron would add very much to th ?
chance of cornering the Spaniards and forc
ing the fighting , which Is believed to be
necessary to the success of tbc Cuban cam
paign as now planned.
Someone suggested at the Navy department
that the Spanish fleet when last heard from
was nt a point not very much more distant
from the great cities of the Atlantic sea
board than from Havana , but It the Spanish
admiral contemplates movement In the for
mer 'direction lie probably will run full Intc
Schley , who will have his scouts well otn
In advance when he moves southward' .
Much regret Is expressed among naval of
ficers at the delays experienced In communi
cating .with Sampson and tt Is not to be
learned yet at the Navy department whethci
the admiral has actually received up to thU
moment the Important advices as to the
movements of the Spanish fleet that have
been dispatched to him. Doubt on thU
score Is founded on Ihe experience the do-
nnrtmont hasT had already with the cable ;
received today from the West Indies.
It was stated positively at the close ol
offlco hours that no word had come during
the day , from Admiral Sampson , save thi
ono telegram sent out this morning regard
ing the attack on the forts of San Juan.
It can be said that there Is good groum
for the belief that the admiral has achieve !
all that was expected of him , or that wa :
necessary to carry out the plans of thi
strategy board. The purpose was to flestro ;
San Juan as a fortified base that might fora
a harbor ot refuge for the Spanish eot am
according to the admiral's report this ta
been practically accomplished.
It was neither necessary nor material tha
San Juan Itself be occupied , all that wa
essential being that the Spanish fleet shouli
find no more protection there than tt woul
In nny harbor without substantial defenses
and if the flying squadron should have th
temerity now to enter San Juan harbor t
will fall an easy victim to Sampson's bat
tleshlps and monitors.
Wliinlniv IH Accented.
Tt IB n little singular that today , Just afto
the vessel hod been nearly destroyed , bat
til UK for tlic United States , the govornmen
should finally accept the torpedo boat Wins
low , but that Is what took place. The boa
has never had Its final trial , and It Is note
to bo supposed that the department will In
slst upon tt under existing conditions.
Word came to the department during th
afternoon that the Injuries sustained uy th
Wlnslow were of such n nature that the
y bo repaired nl Ihe Key West navj
slatton , nnd from this , although no detail
were given , the department officials Inferrc
that the damage was not extensive.
Captain O'Nell , chief of the bureau c
ordnance , was with Secretary Long seven
times during the day , giving htm tnforma
tlon as to the amounl of ammunition Ad
mlrat Sampson has on board. It Is tit
opinion of the bureau officials that th
bombardment of San Juan did not materl
ally deplete Sampson's stock ot powder , sh (
and shell.
There Is no doubt , however , that It mac !
considerable Inroad upon It , as It is sal
that a continuous fire for the three- haul
lhal Ihe ships were In action would ho\
completely exhausted the entire stock. Thei
U no possibility , however , of such a cor
tlnuous fire and the officials feel snttsfk
that Sampson has at least half of his an
munition , nnd perhaps more , still on boar
Every ship In his fleet was stocked to 1
fullest capacity with powder , shot and she ]
The division which shelled San Juan h
sixty rounds of the large size projectlli
for Ihe twelve and Ihlrteen-lnch guns nr
about COO rounds for the flve-lnch and si :
Inch guns.
In case the fleet would require addition
ammunition It would have to be sent fro
Key West , where Ihe Navy department hi
a large stock In reserve. Thus far , howeve
there has been no thoughl of drawing (
the reserve itock.

yesterday evening. The din patch adds that
Immense damage was dope to the city and
that a number of Important buildings col

this dispatch , fired 430 shots with terrible
effect. In conclusion the dispatch says the
Americans did not attempt to take posses

the fortifications.
All the American war ships , the dispatch
to the Evening News further says , except
the Montgomery , steamed In elllpltlcal for

WASHINGTON , May 13. Direct orders
vcre given General Miles this morning
uspendlng for the present the movement
f the Invading army upon Cuba. General
titles therefore has postponed his departure
or the Bouth , and It is announced authorl-
allvely by War department officials that It
annofbe stated with deilnlteneBs when" Gen-
rnl Miles will leave.
The suspension of the movement of the
nvndlng army upon Cuba was induced by
ho proximity of the Spanish Cape do Verde
qundron to Cuban waters. It Is deemed
y the department ofilclals to be the part of
vlsdom not to risk the landing of troops
n Cuban soil until the landing can be
ITccted under the protection of a stronger
eel lhan Is now available for the purpose
f mere protection.
The fact that the army movement has
ecu postponed Is Indirect evidence thnt a
eclslvc nnvnl battle Is expected lo occur
vlthln n few days. It la not doubted that
lie squadron under the command of Admiral
iampson will seek an engagement with the
ipanlsh fleet nt once and It Is with tbo
den of awalllng the result of that conflict
hat the orders for tho. movement of tbo land
orces arc held In abeyance temporarily.
Ab.slfitnnt Secretary of War Mciklejohn nn-
ounoeil today that Ihe department acquired
yesterday two additional vessels for trans-
jortatlon purposes. They are the Stlll-
vater nnd Breakwater , both of New Orleans ,
n common with the other twenty-seven
vessels of the Atlantic transport fleet they
arc fine seagoing ships. No chances have
been taken by the department In securing
rnnsport vessels. Secretary Mciklejohn
says every one of them Is capable of cross-
ng the Atlantic safely In nny kind of
weather , carrying cargo lo Ihe utmost ca
pacity of Ihe vessel. The twenty-nine trans-
) ort ships now nt the disposal of the War
lepnrtment on the Atlantic nro capable tn
.ho nggregale of carrying 25,000 troops nnd
1,000 animals. As soon as the department
s prepared to start Ihe army expedition lo
Cuba Iho vessels will bo concentrated at
loitita on the southern coast nnd the cn-
: lro licet will move lo Cuba as a body un
der suitable escort of war ships. It was an
nounced yesterday that the transports at
New York would proceed south with rogl-
tnenls of New York nnd Massachusetts vol
unteers. Today , ho.wever , the vessels were
ordered not to nySvo until further advices
lad been given tncm. The orders were Is
sued In view ofIhe , reports from several
sources lhat two ( or more Spanish war ves
sels had been sighted off Iho upper Atlantic
coast. In view ofuhc suspension of the land
movement upon Cuba it was not deemed
advisable to send transports loaded with
troops south at this time ,
