WILL MODIFY THEIR PLANS. I IT, ,1 f (lie im .i min of Ihr SpuuUS klyliiK Husilruii In Kant asHas aasfa Vsnix.,io. May II A complete change has Iahen place iu the offensive plans of our government. The receipt of the news from a iiipsoii of hi at took on the forts at San Juan and the news of the act uul pffsaeMI of the Spanish flying squadron off Mart iiiiipie, only ;,iki miU I a ay from Nampson and less than l.ooo miles from Havana, caused the dispatch of the fly ing squadron under Conaodore Schley and t he delaj of the army of invasion of Cuba, it is to the navy that the government again looks for a battle that may end the conflict. The news of the Spanish fleet revealed ut once the possibility of a quick move on the part oi the Spanish float that would cut the line of communication by water between Cuba and Key West, excising to great peril any American landing force that might be caught bat wean a superior Spanish army in Cuba and the sea patrolled by ripanish cruisers. it liecaiiic necessary, therefore, to defer the departure of the military expedition from Florida until the Spanish Beet is met and crushed or driven from w est Indian w atom Orders flew quick and fast from both the war and navy departments. The tirst cheeked the movement on Florida, setting iu from all parts of the country, and diverted the troops toward the concentration camp at Chickanssoga, The navy department wired Sampsou information of the approach of the Spanish fleet and directions what to do. and another order Hashed

to Schley, who has been eating out his heart at Hampton roads in Iiis eagerness to get into the fray, to start with his vessels ; at the earliest possible moment. The commodore took no chance of a cancellation of these highly desirable orders, but at 3:4."i o'clock had put himself be

JTOnd the reach of any telegraphic recall. What is expected of him cannot be disclosed at thcMiavy department, ami naturally is purely a matter of conjecture. Sampson s fleet is strong enough. unaided. to overcome the Spanish flying squadron if he can ever catch it out of the reach of fortifications. His fleet, however, is lacking iu sjs'cd as compared to the Spanish vessels, and BO-OperatiOO on the part of our flying squadron would add Verj much to tin-chance of cornering the Spaniard- and forcing the tight, w hich is believed to be necessary to the success of t lie Cuban campaign. Some one suggested at the navy department that the Spanish fleet w heu last heard from was ut a siint n it very much more distant from the great cities of the Atlantic seaports than from Havana, but if the Spanish admiral contemplates movement iu the former direction he probably w ill run full into Schley. Much regret is expressed among naval officers at the delays experienced in communicating with Sampson, and it is not teamed yet at the navy department whether the admiral has actually received up to ttiis moment the important advices as to the movements of the Spanish fleet that have been dispatched to him. Doubt on this score is founded on the exH'rienc the department has hint already with the cables received yeste rday from the W est indies. it was stated positively at the close jf office hours that no word had come ihiring the day from Admiral Sampson. riiTr tin- one telegram sent out yastt rday morning regarding the attack wii the forts at San .luau. it can be stated that there is good ground for the belief that the admiral ban achieved all that was expected of Ininorthat was necessary to carry out the plans of the strategy board. The purjmisc was to destroy Sau Juan as a fortified base that might form a hurlior of refuge for the Spanish fleet, ami according to the admiral's rejsirt this has been practically accomplished, it was neither necessary nor material that San. loan itaelf be occupied, all that was essential being that the Spanish fleet should find no more protection there than it would in any harbor without substantial defenses, and if the Spanish squadron should have the temerity now to enter San Juan harlsir, they will fall easy victims to Sampsons liatt leships and monitors. i apt. ON'cil. chief of the bureau of ordnance, was with Secretary lotig several times during the day. giving him information as to the amount of ammunition Admiral Sampson has ou board. It is the opinion of the bureau officials that the Isimbardiiieut of San Juan did not materially deplete Sampson's stock of pnvdcr. shot und shell. There is no doubt, however, that it made considerable inroad upon it. as it is said that a continuous: lire for three hours that the ships were in action would have completely exhausted the entire stock. There is no possibility. however. of such a continuous tire. and the official feel satisfied that Sampson has ut least half of Ins annimmt ioi. and perhaps more still on hoard. Kvery ship in his licet was stocked to its fullest onpaeiti with posrdar, shot and shell. 'Ihe division which shelled ,m Jana bsntfl ponncla of the large sie projectiles for the U and U-inch guns, and about .'iUO rounds for the I and liinch guus.
