Great interest is fell in the reported return of tbe Spaa tab Cape Verde fleet to Cadix. bnt while accepting the poaaibtiiiy of tbe flying aqoadroo making tbe passage in tbe five days it baa been out from St. intent. tbe naval officers are dupoaed to regard with great suspicion news of this kind em anating from Portugal m Warships Seen. par Washington correspondent says : It is not creditable, bat it is neverthe less troe that many politicians of bis party are showing much more aoxlrty to succeed in their efforts to get r. Mc Kinley to appoint their favorite officers ia the volunteer army than tbey a;e in making effort to help rush the wsr to a speedy close. In addition to a number of appointments tbat will be at bis disposal under tbe law reorganising the regular army, there are 384 officers to be appointed by bim la the volunteer army twelve major generals, 34 brig, generals and the following stsff officer: 21 lient. cols. 100 majors, 147 capt. and 68 first lient Tbe scramble for the staff positions especially is being psrti cipated in by men who make no preten ce of having acy other claim or aSility to fill the places than their political pall. Ia the appointments so far announced Mr. McKinley lias not yielded much to political Influence, and he bas told a number of senators and representativts that he did not iotend tbat politics should determine a single ons of these appointments, hut it is greatly (eared that he will riot be hie to stand the pressure when it coines to the sUff ap pointments. The publication of the plans to invade Cuba this week ie the extent ol cap turing a port and landing fix thousand men from the regular army, to make a junction with tbe Cuban army and op erate against the Spaniards, a few hours after it had been determined upon by tbe authorities, aroused the adminis tration to tbe necessity of taking some steps to prsvent the publication of In tended was movements Ir. advsnce ol the movements themselves, ss there isn't the slightest doubt that such pub lications are cabled to Spain as scon as tbey appear. The result Is an order that ao military Information shall be given out by subordinates of tbe department, and nswspapsr men are to be barred out of all the offices in the war and navy departments.
