The arrival of the report hardly croated a ripple of ex citement ai t ho White House, except among the newspaper correspondents gathered there. Assistant Secretary day had called about!) o'clock, but as the presi dent was at breakfast he retired, mid returned at 10. Secretary Altjer also came about half an hour later, and was followed by the postmaBtcr-e,eiioral and Secretary Bliss. The other mem bers of the cabinet did not arrive until about the usual hour for the meeting, 11 o'clock. Maris was called in to explain some matters not fully covered by the report.

Interest bordering on concern was manifested among officials of the nary departmi nt over the movement of the Spanish torpedo fleet from tho Canary Islands to Porto KIco. The flotilla is one of the most formidable of its kind afloat, mid ttie sending of it to the West Indies at this time is considered an indi cation that Spain's endeavor is to be prepared for any emergency in or near Cuba. Naval experts are of tlio opinion that it will tako the flot ilia about ten days to make the journey, but it is exceedingly likely that it will actually require several days lunger. The liability of tho boats to accident is great, particularly if they should en counter rough weather. Then, too, it they should bo accompanied by colliers, the speed of thu fleet would bo reduced to that of the coalboats. OUIO KIVElt BULL ON TIIIC UI8K flood Will Not Uracil It Limit Ho To re Hunday.
