TO HUMBLE THE DONS American Squadron Will Sail For Spain. THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY. That a Hostile Sqnadron Ever Started From the New World to Attack a Power of Continental Europe—Spain'* Thirl Fleet—Other Interesting War New*. Washington, June 28.—The administration has finally come to a decision to send an American sqnadron to the Spanish coast and into the Mediterranean. It required the Spanish movement toward the Philippines by Camara’s squadron to decide the navy department to adopt this bold stroke. The first announcement yesterday was through a bulletin posted at the war department of the government’s intention and was received with incredulity. However, when later in the day, the detail of the vessels selected to constitute Commodore Watson’s eastern squadron was announced and official orders were given to provision the fleet for four months it became apparent to the last doubter that the government was in earnest in this purpose to dispatch the fleet to Europe. The three vessels selected as colliers have started already on their way to Newport News to take on a large supply of coal. It will require about a week to get this down to Sampson’s fleet, so if the start is to be made from that point it will be impossible for Commodore Watson to get away before the 4th of July. First Time lu History. This would seem to be an auspicious date for the beginning of an expedition that will, for the first time in the world’s history, start from the New World to attack continental Europe. No attempt is made to deny that the government is influenced in ordering this movement by a desire to check the progress eastward of the Cadiz fleet. The determination to send this squadron against Spain was the outcome of direct official advices which reached the state and navy departments as to the progress of Admiral Camara’s squadron. These advices give a list of the Spanish ships now nearing the Suez canal,which differs some from the list given in the press dispatches. The official list is as follows: Pelayo, Carlos V., Audaz, Osada, Proserpina, Patriota. Rapido,Buenos Ayres, Isla de Fancy, Colon, Covandonga and San Francisco. The additional information conies from official sources that this squadron is at Port bald and expects to take on board 10,000 tons of j

coal before entering the Suez canal. Such heavy coaling will take some time. This squadron is the most formidable Spain has afloat, in total tonnage, strength of individual ships, armor aud guns. The Pelayo and Carlos V are the strongest of the ships and the former is the only battleship in the Spanish navy. It is apparent from this that the main reliance of his fleet is on the battleship Pelayo, the armored cruiser Curios V, and the two new torpedo boat destroyers Audaz and Osada. The others are auxiliaries aud colliers. As there are only two armored ships in the lot, Admiral Dewey’s fleet of protected but unarmored ships probably will take care ot this Spanish squadron. With the Monterey added, he could certainly do so. The eastern squadron, which the United States will now send against Spain, far outranks this Spanish squadron, the lowa aud Oregon exceeding the the Pelayo aud Carlos V at every point, while the other United States vessels are far superior, ship for ship to those of the Spanish squadron with the single exception of the two Spanish torpedoboat destroyers. One short telegram received by General Greely from one of his signal corps officers with the army under Shafter was all that came to the war department yesterday. That -elated entirely to the management of telegraph aud contained no news as to the movements of the military. Therefore, it is assumed at the department that General Shafter is simply carrying forward his troops from the sea coast and concentrating them at pqiuts of vantage on the heights surrounding Santiago. His army is not to give battle until every precaution that prudence can suggest has been taken to assure the success of the movement for no one better than General Shafter appreciates the tremendous moral advantage that would accrue to Spain from even a temporary check of American arms at this time. TO AID DEWEY. The Second Kxpedltlon For the Philippines Him Sailed. San Francisco, June 28. — Another fleet of transports has sailed out through the Golden Gate to the broad Pacific, yesterday afternoon the third fleet of vessels loaded with soldiers and supplies for the Philippines hoisted anchor and amid the screeching of a hundred whistles and the clanging of bells and the booming of cannon proceeded down the bay towards the ocean anil by night was well on its way to the Philippines. The first movement of the vessels comprising the fleet was the signal for the crowds which congregated along the docks to commence cheering the departing soldiers and for the steam whistles along the city front to scream their good byes. The scene on the transport was thrilling; men were perched in the rigging like so many insects, and handkerchiefs aud flags waved and fluttered from

evt-ry porthole and spar. As the vessels proceeded slowly down the bay the noisy demonstrations of people on shore became more pronounced and increased until the din was awful, and added to the noise cf whistles and bells was the booming of many cannon from the batteries at Fort Mason. The ships which left yesterday carried about 4,000 men, under command of General Arthur McArthur, who has made the steamer Indiana his flagship. The City of Para, the Ohio and the Morgan City were the other vessels to sail with the Indiana. The steamers Valencia and Newport will sail on Wednesday. General Merritt will proceed to the islands in the Newport, CHICKAMAUGA. Fifteen Regiment* Ordered Prepared Immediately for Active Service. Chickamauga National Park, June 27. —It is no longer a question that a large force of troops are about to be ordered from Camp Thomas to the front. An order was issued by command of Major General Brooke yesterday which virtually amounts to an order for the movement of lo regiments to Cuba. In accordance with this order the First division of the First, corps and two brigades of the Second division of the same corps will form an expeditionary force, and are ordered to be immediately prepared ana equipped for active field service. The following brigades are included in this order: First brigade, commanded by General Earnest and composed of the Eighth Massachusetts, Third Wisconsin and Fifth Illinois. Second brigade, commanded by General Sanger and composed of the Fourth Ohio, Third Illinois and Fourth Pennsylvania. Third brigade, commanded by General Wiley and composed of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania, Second Wisconsin and First New Hampshire. Second division, First corps—First brigade, commanded by Colonel Gardner and composed of the Thirty-first Michigan, One Hundoed and Sixtieth Indiana and First Georgia. ■ Second brigade, commanded by General McKee and composed of the First West Virginia, One Hundred and Fiftyeighth Indiana and Twelfth New York. The order does not specify just when these troops will go forward or to what point they will be sent for embarkation, but it is understood that they will go to Tampa for direct departure for Cuba. HOBSON'S REWARD. Not Likely to be that of Lieutenant Commander. Washington, June 28.—1 t has not yet been positively determined by the administration just what measure of reward shall be meted out to Constructor Hobson., He will be transferred to the line, but just what place in the line is to be given to him is not yet settled, but it can be stated that he will not, as was at first proposed, be placed in the grade of lieutenant commanders. With a full realization of the merits of Hobson’s achievement, the naval officials have concluded that so great advancement as that, amounting to a promotion of over 350 number.-, would be unwise, so it is likely that Hobson will take his place well up among the lieutenants of the naval service, which officials believe will make his reward fully equal to that bestowed upon Cushing for his daring feat. CAMARA’S SQUADRON. It is iii the Harbor of Port Said Awaiting Orders. Port Said, June 27. —Admiral Camara’s squadron is in the harbor awaiting orders. It consists of the battleship Polayo, Admiral Camara’s flagship, the ironclad Emperador Carlos Qnintos, two armored cruisers, three torpedo boats and five transports carrying 7,000 troops. A London despatch says that the squadron consists of the battleship Polayo, the armored cruiser Emerador Carlos Quintos, the torpedo boat destroyers Osado, Audaz and Proserpina, the transparts Patriota and Buenos Ayres and the Isla de Panay, Colon, Covadonga, Rapida and San Grancisco. CAMP ALGER. One Hundred and Fifty-Ninth Indiana Receiving It* Equipment. Camp Alger, Va., June 28. —Word was received yesterday that the One Hundred and Fifty-ninth Indiana regiment would receive its entire equipment, even to wagons for baggage by tomorrow. This is taken to mean that the regiment will be moved within a few days to some other point. The regiment’s recruits will all be in by that time and they will be fitted out at once. Will Maintain Strict Neutrality. Cairo, Egypt, June 28.—The Egyptian government has instructed its authorities at Port Said to prevent the 150 stokers engaged there by Admiral Camara for his fleet from embarking on Spanish ships, and courteously informed Admiral Camara that so doing would be an infringement of the laws of neutrality, which Egypt intends rigorously to observe. "The Audaz’s machinery requires repairs, and Camara has signified his intention of remaining at Port Said for three days.” Third Spanish Squadron. Gibraltar, June 28. —The third Spanish squadron, it is announced here, consisting of the Cardinal de Cisneros, Lepanto, Numancia, Vittoria, the monitor Puig-Corda, three torpedo boats and the auxiliary steamers Meteoro, Leon XIII and Montserrat, commanded by Admiral Barrossa, has been “ordered to assemble at Cadiz as early as possible.” The vessels mentioned are all very much behind the age. Leave for Key West. Tampa, Fla., June 28.—Two companies of the Third Texas regiment arrived yesterday. They will leave tonight for Key West.
