Washington, Tune 27. The
official announcement that a
strong fleet was to be s-ut off
the coast of Spain has aroused
au intense feeling of satisfaction
in official circles.
It sets at rest all talk of peace
negotiations and shows a clear
purpose of the Administration
to follow an aggressive cam
paign.
This bold announcement
seems to have for its purpose
the recalling of Carnara's fleet
from Port Said, which is said to
be 011 their way to the 1'hili-
pines.
It is said that while the Gov
ernment has no fear but that
Dewey is safe, it would much
prefer to engage the Spanish
fleet off the Spanish coast and
lef. matters rest quietly at Ma
nila. Commodore Watson will prob
ably include in his fleet the
Oregon, Iowa, Brooklyn, New
York, St. Paul and St. Louis.

out, and it was eminently
successful. Especially pleasing
is the work performed by the
Cuban forces in co-operating in
landing. The harassment of the
enemy in the rear is always de
moralizing, a-ul it contributes
no small amount in the fruition
of the project. Their work
seems to have been well plan
ned and finely carried out.
General Miles referred in
terms of praise to the work oi
getting a large quantity of sup
plies into the Cuban camps and
the placing of a million Car
tridges in the hands ot the in-
0
surgents. He paid high tribute
to the way in which the plat
was executed.

He was only a private of the
Fifth Maryland, a tall slight
Baltimore boy and a recruit at
that. He sauntered into the.
Tampa Pay hotel last Sun
day night, and gazed with won
der on the grave and gay of
ficers. He p-at a cigarette between
his lips and then looked around
to see someone who could sup
ply him with fire for the coffin
stick.
LOts of officers in full dress
uniform were puffing fine Hava
nas, but he trembled at the
thought of asking any of these
for fire. Hope soon swelled in
bosom, however, as he saw ap
proaching him an elderly mau
dressed in a plain black business
suit, who had just lighted a
cigar.
Say, pr.itner.give us alight,"
said the Marylauder.
The plain elderly gentleman
ran his hand into his vest pock
et and handing a match to the
soldier, said: "With pleasure,
sir." Then he passed on his way
with head dropped in pondering
pose.
Chief Porter o'Connor of the
hotel, quick witted Kerry Irish-
man, approached the private ana
asked:
"Do you know who that man
was who gave you the match?"
"No," replied the youthtul
private. "Who was it?
"General Miles," replied
O'Connor.
The private had au incredulous
mile on his face for an instant,
but when the porter convinced
lim that it was really the major
general commanding the United
States army, he said:
"Well, he ought to wear
something to let us know who
re is. Any one is liaDle to ask:
lim for a favor, he looks so
obliging.
The private stood there uutili
