Can the Spanish Ciovernment’s Orders to Admiral Cer= will occur within two days, three days,; or a week. It needs no great amount of reasoning to make this point abso lutely clear. The American forces are not likely to engage the enemy until they have combined and can bring into action a squadron of such strength as to re move all doubt of the result. The Spanish, on the other hand, will not run into danger if they can avoid it. Their policy will undoubtedly be to prey upon detached ships, and not to meet Schley and Sampson in an un equal struggle.

The armor-clad division could be com posed of the Iowa, Indiana, Massachu- sets, Texas and, later on the Oregon, with some torpedo-boats and scouts. This would leave for the maintenance of the blockade the four monitors, ten gunboats, and many smaller craft. policy and emphatic objection exists against allowing the elusive Spanish fleet to figure any longer so as to cause a postponement of the Cuban invasion plans of the army administra tion. The change in the naval situation warranting this policy, is the gathering of nearly the whole naval fcice cf the United States in the vicinity of Cuba, thus giving a force sufficient to deal with the enemy’s fleet and at the same time protect the transportation of the military to the island. The administiation will only wait until Sampson, Schley and Watson have come together in Cuban waters arid assumed s.uch positions as they deem best before ordering the troops to leave. The military expedition will not begin before, the end of this week. The army administration is planning to increase the number of regulars for the occupation of the Philippines, in accordance with General Merritt's de sire. All of the Fourteenth Infantry, now stationed in the west, will be used, their important post ■ being filled with volun teers.

It was informally agreed by the cabi net that more troops are necessary to accomplish the subjugation of Cuba. Details of the plan for issuing a second call were discussed, and al though no decision was reached to is sue the call immediately, it is probable, that Congress will be asked for the necessary authority at an early day. The total number of men accepted for duty up to tonight exceed 90,000, and very nearly reach the 100,000 mark.

Even fishing smacks are keeping in- shore,, and as no steamships at- tempting to get into any of the ports, the work of the gunboats on duty is in the main nearly routine.

Washington, May 17.—In the House today Chairman Hitt reported from the Committee on Foreign Affairs the New land resolution, providing for the an nexation of Hawaii, with the recom mendation that it pass. Accompanying the report is quite a lengthy documet. It reviews thne sev eral seizures of the islands by the French and British forces, and negotia tions, covering half a century, for an nexation with'the United States. The strategic importance of the islands is set forth, and the statements of Gen. Schofield and Admiral Walker to the committee last week are quoted under ‘the heading, “Risk of Delay.” In the report, the committee says: “Annexation, and that alone, will se curely maintain American control in Hawaii. Resolutions of Congress de claring our policy, or even a protocol, will not insure. “Annexation imposes responsibility, but it will give the full power of owner ship and absolute control.

A despatch was received by the gov ernment today saying that the last of the enemy's ships left Curacoa last night. Reports that the fleet has gone to the Gulf of Venezuela are based on the understanding that the vessels had not completed coaling before reaching Curacoa, and will be obliged to finish TO BRING ABOUT A FIGHT. By Telegraph to The Morning Post. Washington, May 17.—The intention of the administration to expedite the military occupation of Cuba is appar ently to be coincident with a rear rangement of the plan of naval cam paign, which will increase the efficiency of the sea forces and insure with greater certainty a speedier engage ment with the Spanish fleet. Your correspondent was told today that the administration had decided to ignore the Spanish fleet in the West Indies and make a vigorous campaign on land and water. Sampson’s armor-clad division and Schley’s ships are rapidly converging on Watson’s blockade force. A junction can be effected in a few days, and with such a fighting force in Cuban waters there is no need of other delay. The gathering of these squadrons in the West Indies will result in some thing more important than expediting a military campaign. Aquinaldo, Col.

The Minister from the Netherlands, Mr. Weckherlin, was summoned to the de partment in the forenoon to explain what seemed to be a violation of the neutrality laws—a violation all the more unaccountable because the Ne therlands was the second country to declare neutrality after the war began.
