Many com- pkilnts have been received here to the effect that the government haa not taken full pre caution to prevent the transmission of Im portant military dispatches between the Spanish government and Its colonies In the Weal Indies. "The truth about the matter , " said Gen eral Grceley , chief Hlgnal officer , who haa charge of the supervision exercised by the United State- ) government over rable mes sages goWig out and coming Into Key West , "Is that the president has acted promptly In the matter , and at present there Is no oiblo running out of the United States that Is not under proper restrictions as to the character ef the messages sent. " Gener.il Greelcy baa amicably adjusted these delicate matters with the Western Union Telegraph company and with the Postal Telegraph & Cable company. "Both of thee companies , " he- says , "have pa triotically accepted the restrictions placed upon them by the government , and no cipher messages are handled between this country and the West Indies over American cable * except such as are exchanged between the ntllcers of the United States and neutral am bassadors and ministers and the designated consular ofllcers of the country they repre sent In the Weit JKWS I'HAv FunMuiiOAx Aims.

"The persecution of the Jew , " he said , "was tbe beginning of the decline of Spain. Today Spain Is tottering to extinction , while the people It sought to destroy are hopeful and strong.

Oiilr SlKhteil Two Ship * on tbe Way Ovrr from Kuroiie. NEW YORK , April 30. The American line steamer Paris arrived thia morulog from Southampton after a rough passage of seven days , seventeen hours aad forty-flvo minutes , wild nine ealoon , forty-seven second cabin and ninety-eight steerage passengers. Tbe Paris left Southampton April 22 at 2:05 : p. m. After clearing the land Captain Watklna shaped his course about north and after a run ot thirty miles headed for home , keep ing a distance of about thirty miles from the usual course taken In previous trips. Captain Watklns had no fear that a Spanish war vessel would catch his fleet steamer , but It was thought possible ttiat some craft of tbc enemy might be lurk'.og In the vicinity ol the channel , or In the neighbor hood ot the Irish coast , to waylay the American craft. At night on board the I'.irls every light was extinguished and dead lights were covered. Strict watch waa kept for the approach of vessels. Leaving the Lizard , with the wind south east , then north-norinc 3t , very light , the weather became overcast and a long westerly swell prevailed. This condition of weather continued until the wind became westerly , and , commencing on the 23d , increased to a gale. Rough eeos with fog , rain and gener- elly thick weather prevailed. On tbe Ameri can coaet a heavy northeast gale with hlgto head eeas was encountered. The Paris sighted tbe White Star line steamer Majestic on April 23 at 5:43 : a. m. In latitude 48.35 , longitude 29.29 , and at 7:20 : p. m. ot the same day passed a freight steamer ot the White Star line bound cast. Nothing else was seen on the way across. The Paris brought sixteen cases of muni tion * of war and a email quantity ot mis cellaneous merchandise. The Paris entered Uie Narrows through tbo field of mines and torpedoes at 8:30 : tills morning and waa ealuted by steam whistles of passing craft aa U went to Its dock.

THERE Fool I UK nt WiUnlnKfon In thnt If lAtl- ttilrnl Dcvve- , * Win * n SlKiml Vlc- lory Thermit Will Virtually the Wnr. WASHINGTON , April 30. All Interest today was concentrated on the Philippines , though It seemed almost , hopeless to expect any news dlrecjtly from that point , willed Is ( or the present , at least , the critical point of naval operations. Indeed , one high official , , well versed In the plans of the strategy beard , declared that upcn the result of the engagement which Commodore Dewey Is ex pected to have had with the Spanish fleet ! today , or wldln : a day or two at least , might' ' depend to an extent the outcome of the war. When Secretary Long left the Navy de partment he had received no word from Commodore Dewey , nor from any point In tbe cant. Ho had been very busy during the , day , and the came thing was true ot Secretary - rotary Alger , both being obliged to give up the greater part of their time to senators , representatives , and other persons of sup posed Influence , seeking to secure the ap pointment of conatltuents to places In { ho army and navy. Secretary Long received a dispatch from Admiral Sampson relative to the shelling of Mat'.inzas ' bittccloj , but had no Information whatever as to > tue reported attack upon Car denas yesterday. The Imprcssbn prevails at the department among those who are not taken Into the eej crots of the naval war beard , that the raovea of Admiral Sampson are of the strategic- character and not accidental happening } , ai mliht be euppcsod from their apparently spontaneous tharacter. Key Went Is evidently to be made a bine of the first order of Importance , so far as the , cet la concerned , otherwise Secretary Long fould never have called upon an officer of uch high rang as Commodore Hecmy to cooi- : nand the station. The commodore has been elteved at the Portsmouth navy yard , New lampa'ilre. by a retired officer of equal rank. RETIRED OFFICERS ARE CALLED. Two more retired officers of high order of blll'.y are to be called Into active servlco londay In the persons of Naval Constructors R. W. Steele and AV. L. 'Mlntoyiie. The board of bureau chiefs Is now engaged n iirrparlnc the Advertisement calling for ho construction ol torpedo boats and de- troyers. By a special provision of the naval > oard the advertisements will run only three. vces Instead of three months , as Is ucual. The department will describe only the gen-Ja ; ral characteristics of the torpedo boats , eavlns to the builders the submission of lans for thelrponstructlon. Chief Constructor Hlehborn said today that when the depa'rtmclit ' has placed -the con- racts for the vessels authorized by the pond- naval appropriation bill the government h-ive under construction at one time a greater number of vessels than It has ever had bulldlnz since the war , and a greater tonnaso In thel'aggregate t'han at any time during ihe civil conflict. There will be no CM than thlrty.-slx ! vessels altogether thus Ijced under construction three battleships , ixtecn torpedo boat destroyers , twelve tor pedo boats , four ; C3at defense monitors and 3110 gunboat on itjjo1 lakes. The honor of b'e'lng fleet engineer of the numerous mosquito .fleet , which Is expected to bo one of Ihe' malhstays In the defense of ho Atlantic coast cities , has fallen to a re- Ired officer , Chief Engineer Alexander Hen derson , who Is' no1 a prosperous business inan-ln N"ow.-Yotl.l > ut > rws consented to sac-1 rlflco his rcrsonak Interests to fight In the navy. i More electricians are wanted In the navy and the secretary today directed that a special recruiting station be opened at the Waah- ngton navy yard at 1 o'clock Monday to re cruit the electricians. The Chinese minister , Mr. Wu Ting Fang , called1 at tbo State department today and had a talk with officials concerning the war situation. He did not bring ; a notice ot ? Mr.a'a neutrality , nor has he received word : hiis far from Ills government that 'China will declare Its neutrality. HOPE FOR.FAVORS FROM CHINA. The authorities here would not 'be ' dl > plojaed it Ch' < .ia withheld Its decree alto gether , as such a course might be of dis tinct advantage to tbe United States la case Commodore Dewey's fleet failed to effect a landing on the Philippines , and is abllged to > veek uoroe open port. With an American fleet In Asiatic waters tbc cltua-i tlon become. * hazardous unless a bel.lgc.iv.it port U captured , or a neutral port remalna open. open.Up to today all countries occupying east ern Asiatic territory bad declared neutral ly except China. The notice of Corea wao given two daja ago , thus closing the port of Chemulpo. Japin gave notice today , thus closing all Japanese ports including Yokohama hama , which la the , most advtntageous har bor In Asiatic waters , and nearer the Philip- than any other port. The British and French decrees closed Hong Kong and ports of British India and French Tcoquta. When Mr. Wu Ting Fang was seen at the Chl&cae legation tonight , he cald that hav ing received no notice of China's neutrality , ho presumed none had been Issued by tbo Imperial government. The Portuguese minister called at the State department today and gave official notice of Portugal's neutrality. Afterward the miolster expressed regret at .ho published reports attributing delay to Portugal and a disposition to favor Spain as against the United States. The minister says that such reports are unwarranted and that an official dispatch be received from Lisbon last night shows the authorities at Lisbon actrid with promptness. His dispatches from 'Lisbon ' statel that the war ships of the belligerent powers would not be allowed to make more than a brief stay In the ports of Portugal. Aa to the return of several of the Spanish torpedo boats to the Cape Verde Islands , be cause of Injuries resulting from a collision , the minister says such Injuries , it booa fldc , permit war ships to remain long enough to repair damage. Tils cannot be made an excuse , for extended etay , however , A'RE ' EXPECTING OH11KHS TO MOVE. ChlckuniuuKU JMay Soon Be a Dc- Hortccl Cnutn. CHATTANOOGA , Tenn. , April 30.

I I 5 NAVAL OFFICERS GUESSING Trjing to Figura Out Spain's Fr.sent War Policy. ARE PUZZLED BY 'SPANISH STRATEGY Thnt the Flotilla HUH Sillied fur the U'rxt InillfN ThniiKht to lie Kusy l'ro > - fur WASHINGTON. April 30. About the only Item of news that came to the Navy department - ment this morning from any official sDurce told of the departure ot that part of the Spanish Cape Verde fleet which consisted of torpedo boats a-ad transports , for the Canaries. The fact that two of the torpedo boats were In tow of the big transports , naval officers regarded as a sign that in the col lision which these vessels are reported to have had yesterday , the machinery of the boats was disabled beyond the possibility of repair at St. Vincent. It Is by no means a safe undertaking to tow a torpedo boat the j , long dUtanco between Cape Verde and the Canaries , and It would not surprise naval officials If ono or more of the little boats were missing when th remainder of the small fleet arrived at tbc Canaries. Auxlety Is felt 03 to the dezttnattun ot the mofe formidable pan ot thn Suanlsh fleet ; hat sailed westward from Cape Verde. If ihey are beaded for Cuba Its Navy depart ment calculates that' theyare likely to reach Porto Rico about May 7. It Is not to bo ex pected , however , that the arrival at Spanish ports would be made public bf the Spanish authorities ccntrolllng the cable , and sup- poaslng that they are not detected by one of the United States naval vessels which will possibly bo thrown out as a scout , the first uews of the arrival of the fleet on this slrt * Is likely to be conveyed by some neutral vessel trading between Porto Ulco a ad out- sldo ports. . The strategy tavolved In the Spanish movements Is rather puzzling to the naval officers. Assuming that the four cruisers have actually started on their way to Cuba It would seem that It they arrive at Porto Rico they would be In ( imminent danger of capture or destruction at the hands ot Admiral Sampson's squadron , which Is un questionably superior In offensive power. In other words , the four cruisers would be situated iist as were the Oquendo and the VIzcaya before the outbreak of hostilities , when they prudently fled from the port of Havana. 'RUMORS ' ABOUT FLYING SQUADRON. It was reported In departmental cli-clea today that the flying squadron was about to sail from Fortress Monroe. The officials refused to affirm or deny this statement , but It la afsumed If the report Is true the vcesols are to be used as scouts to detect the approach ot tbo Spanish vessels. In case the ships are slghtoil by Commodore Schlcy , no engagement would be attempted unless circumstances were peculiarly favor able , for he has but two armored ships In uls squadron to pit against the four heavily armored Spanish vessels. Ho would , how ever , be able to dang on the flank of the Spanish squadron and annoy It greatly while rushing ahead one of his flyers , the Columbia or Minneapolis , toarn Admiral Sampson and secure reinforcements In the ebapo of a battleship that would Insure vic tory in action. No word has yet come from the Philip pines , and as already explained , even II tliero has been an action between Commo- dcro Dewey and the Spanish naval force there , tbo Navy department Is scarcely In a way to hear of It for several days. Even It the commodore should manage to land at Manila he probably would bo unable to operate tbe cable owing to a lack of skilled operators and perhaps tbe apparatus Itself may be disabled before It folia Into his hands. There la good reason to believe that tbo commodore will not direct an at tack at Manila In the beginning. The re port that bo took aboard before leaving Hong Kong ono o ( the mcst popular ot the leaders of tbo Philip pine Insurgents Is considered as evidence tint the commodore relies largely upon In surgent support to maintain dia footing on the Mands. If this bo eo , ho would very likely avoid Manila , the capital , and eel.se first another port where the Insurgents are In greater strength and where there are no fortifications to overcome , COALING STATION NECESSARY. Whle there Is no doubt that one of the objects of Commodore Dewey U to crush the Spanish squadron In tbo East Indleu as the most effective method of protecting the Important trade Interests In that quarter , It Is beyond doubt part of his purpose to seize- and bold a port suitable for use as a coaling station. The coaling station to not only desirable but Is absolutely necctuury from a naval point ot view , unices tbo United States Is prepared to surrender all commerce In American bottoms with Asia , and fully realizing this the naval officials will proceed with their campaign undeterred by European throits. Whether tbe station will be retained after the war by the United States will not now bo deter mined. It U positively asserted that up to this moment the- European menaces have taken no ofljelal ( orm and so far no protests have been lodged with tbe Stat * department , It any 0ucb should be made , bawd on dlploi matlo reason * , It would not bo hard for our government , pointing to the wholesale seiz ure * ot almost | b major pert ot tbe Cblnena coast by the European powers , to Justify ourselves In tucking to obtain at least oo much of a foothold In that section ol the globe as would suffice to gives our war ahlpa a safe home port In tlmo of stress and afford a moderate degree of protection to our com merce , which , In comparison to Pome of the European powcie who have been inert for ward In their threats , la by no means In significant. The State department officials arc more amused than concerned by the report from Madrid , originating with Captain Geneal : lilanco , that the Austrian and French consuls at Matanzas have lodged a protest against the bombardment of that place by Admiral Sampson. They say In the first place there * has been no bombardment at that place , und , owing to the distance that Matanzas lira away from the fort at the entrance of tha ' harbor , the town IWelf never was In danger , from any of the fen- shots fired by the ' American war ship * GUNS SPEAK AGAIN ( Continued from First Pago. ) Castlne , which was guarding that point hailed. , waa Captain Berry thereupon went on board the flagship and had a consultation with the ad miral.
