Washington, May 27, The situation of the fleets of the United States tonight as follows: The Flying Squadron under Commo doro Schley is in the offing; outside the bar of Savannah. The fleet of Admiral Sampson, the most formidable of all our squadrons, lies In the Windward Passage, somewhere between Cuba and Haiti, with a watch fill eye on the movements ot the Spanish vessels, and with the swift scouts scour ing the sea to locate the ships of Spain. The third fleet under Watson, not nearly as formidable as the other two, is the immediate vicinity of Havana keeping the blockade ot that port. The location and movement of the Spanish fleet, slnoe it left Curacao is matter of guess work. It is expected that the Spanish Admiral Ceryera will try to make Santiago de Cuba in tho east of the Island to land supplies and ammunition tor General Blanco for use at Havana. If Cervera Imagines there is danger for for him in that neighborhood, he may make a dash for Clenfuegos, on the south shore ot Cuba. No credence can be placed in the dis patch from Martinique that Admiral Villamil is there with three Spanish cruiser. A Foil rill fleet. The new so-called flying squadron is forming at Hampton Roads to take the place of the departed vessels of Schley. The nucleus ef the Beet is the cruiser New Orleans, the Dixie,' and tho Yose mite. These will take tho place for the present and furnish a measure of protec tion to Uiat part of the coast. The .ll. ma. The dispatch boat Hugh MoCulogb sailed from Bong Kong for Manila, United Stales Consul Wlldman took on board General Aquloaldo and seventeen others of the rebel leaders la the Philip pines, forming the Insurgent Cabinet. General Aqulnaldo promised Consul Wlldman toconduot the campaign on humane lines and to give absolute alle giance to Admiral Dewey, and to follow the orders of Generals tie rritt and Williams. General Merrltt, who Is to havo oom- mand of tho army In the Philippines, telegraphs Secretary Alger that be did not express himself as lio was quote I. Ho was made to say In aa interview at New York that he would not go to Manila as the Government was not sup. plying him with a suflkleut uumber of men for the work. Although it is denied that Mrtrrlu called for more troop, It is probable that more regulars will be fur uiahed hliu. General Miles is preparing orders for Uonerul Merrltt who Roes at onoe to Baa Francisco to prepare the Irojpa for em barking fur Manila, This proves In spite ot what ha been said, that the government and General Merrill are act ing in harmony. Merrill will take with him not kss than Ave thousand men to Manila. Mtlll llereTrMBM.

The strategist board rests content that pain's four armored cruisers and her tor pedo vessels are as effectually shut up now in a closed sea as the gunboats are in Havana harbor by the little patrol ships on the outside. To return to Spain would be impossible for the fleet without receiving extensive coal supplies, and no movement to secure this can bo accomplished without the United States hearing of it and making timely preparations to prevent it. One ot two Places. It is argued that the fleet proposes to attempt to get to some of its own colonial ports. Just where it will make its ap pearante on the coast or uuoa is sun a problem with wl:i ;h the strategists arc contending, but the subject had been aifted down to indicate but two places toward which there sterns a possibility that it is heading. Cuban ports as a rule have little water for the larger ships, and Clenfuegos on the south and Havana on the north are tho only ones at which any supplies in considerable quantities are available, and where, for this reason, it is supposed the Spanish admiral will go. Ready far Them If he passes Uienfucgos anil continues on to Havana the Spauish admiral would run into another formidable fleet of light era, not so heavy and capable as those un Knights Templar will meet tomorrow night. The number at the funeral of Ensign Bagley yesterday is estimated to have been fully 10,000. The day was a beau tiful one after the terrible storm of the night before. There was no dust and a cool breeze blew even though the su n shone in brilliant splendor. "The son of God goes forth to war was sung so sweetly by Mrs.' McKlmmon. The music was composed by a friend of Ensign Bagley and was a great favorite of his. In one part of the city during the se vere storm the high water mark on the side of a house was 9 feet.

Only six companies so far have been mustered into the 2nd Regi ment. This makes a battalion and a half only. The two deserters from the Goldsboro Company have been caught, but as they were country boys that hardly knew the enormity of their crime their captain will plead for the utmost leniency, The tight is on again between Butler and Skinner.
