SAMPSON'S FLEET
TO VISIT HAVANA
Warships Will Assemble Before Cuba's
' Capital This Hontb.
MORAL EFFECT
MAIN OBJECT
A Secondary One, However, Is the At
tachment of the Brooklyn and
Texas to the Squadron Prospects
That the Detroit. Marblehead and
Montgomery May Be Sent to Join
Dewey's Fleet Soon.
New Yokk, Jan. 11. A speeial to the
Herald from Washington says :
As a result of the conference held by
Secretary Long, Capt. A. S. Browin
shield, chief of the bureau of navigation,
and Rear-Admiral Sampson, the North
Atlantic squadron wil lassembls about
the end of the month at Havana. Ad
miral Sampson returned to' New York
after the conference to perfect details
for the movement and plan maneuvers
for the fleet after it leaves Havana for a
cruise in the West Indies.
Asde from its moral effect the main
object of Admiral Sampson's visit to
Havana will be to attach the Texas
and Brooklyn to his command.
It is evident that the department has
no intention of "diminishing the North
Atlantic squadron by forming European
and South Atlantic squadrons. Samp
eon's command will comprise the New
York, the Indiana, the Brooklyn, the
Texas and Newark, and possibly x the
Chicago, besides several smaller boats.
The Massachusetts will join the squad
ron as soon as she is ready, which will
be. about March.
Should the situation warrant such ac
tion, Sampson will leave an iron-clad at
Havana to aid the authorities in pre
serving the peace.
Naval officers are considering the ad
visability of dispatching the embers
Detroit, Marblehead and Montgomery to
Manila, but will probably first cable to
Admiral Dewey and aecertain if the ves
sels already attached to his fleet are rnf
ficient for bis purposes. - The.vessels so
far ordered , but imclude the gunboats

sels for service against the Filipinos,
having a draught of only' fourteen ' feet
seven inches and being well supplied
with rapid fire batteries. They will not
be sent to the East, however, nnless Ad
miral Dewey informs the government
that be needs more vessels.
READY TO
ATTACK MANILA
Situation, the Spanish General Avers, is
Grave Americans Said to Have
Given Up Landing at Iloilo..
Madrid, Jan. 11. General Bios, the
Spanish commander, cables from Manila
reiterating bis assertion that the situa
tion in the Philippine islands is most
grave. The rebels, it appears are con
centrating in the neighborhood of Ma
nila, with the intention of attacking that
place. Great preparations, are being
made for the defense of the city...
The 8panish general also asserts that
the natives of Visayas have again re
fused td allow the Americans to land at
Iloilo, threatening to resist by force if
an attempt is made to do so. The
Americans, therefore, according to Gen.
Bios, have abandoned the idea of dis
embarking, and he confirms the previous
statement to the effect that the natives
were willing to resist by force if any at
tempt is made to do so. ' 1
Gen, Bios also alleges that the rebels
are determined to fight the Americans
before reinforcements arrive from the
United States. -,
In conclusion, Gen. Bios says Aguin
aldo's proclamation has produced im
mense enthusiasm among the rebels.
Foreign Relations Committee Only Ex
amined the Treaty an Hour The
MorningBefore They Authorized Its
Report to the Senate.
Washington, Jan. 11. The senate
committee on foreign relations today
authorized Senator Davis t) report the
peace treaty favorably without amend
ment. The committee was in session
for only an hour, and the greater part of
the time was consumed in waiting for a
quorum, the senators meantime discuss
ing informally the articles of the treaty.
There was only a bare quorum of the
committee present, . bat Callom , and
Clark, who were among the absentees,
sent their proxies. .. Morgan and Gray
were thd only Democrats in attendance,
but the other Democratic members of
the committee,Daniel, Mills and Tnrpie,
had full notice of the . purpose of the
meeting, and they indicated no opposi
tion to immediate action.
There was no suggestion of any amend
ment in the committee. Senator Davis
was instructed to press the treaty upon
the attention of the senate, with a view
to securing as early action as possible.
The committee also authorized Senator
Davis to report favorably on the prop
osition to remove tha injunction of se
crecy. . " ; ' . .. -
mission, and Representative Ellis voted
against it. Tongue says that his vote
does not mean that he is opposed to a
just civil service, but - was intended to
serve notice on the house that be
among others, wanted a chance to vote
on a bill to modify the law, which has
not been gianted yet. Ellis says that
be is not in favor of the law as it stands,
and would like to see some modification,
but does not believe in getting at it by
cutting off the appropriation for , the
maintenance of the commission. The
commission could get its salary by going
to law..

Two Brave Women VT ho Nursed : Sick
Troops in the Field Hospitals ' in
. Porto Rico. . , ". '''
Washington, Jan. 11. Margaret Liv
ingston Chanler and Anna - BoulirJg,
heroic women who served without pay
as nurses in Porto Bico during the war,
have been recommended for that rare
honor, the thanks of congress.
They landed in. Ponce July "31st, and
the same day began nursing American
and Spanish sick.. Miss Chanler, from
her own. purse, hired a house and estab
lished a hospital for. American officers,
and as the number of sick grew, hired
another and another on til she had three
hospitals in operations' at her own ex
pense. In September she turned these
hospitals over to the government trained
nurses, haying, first provided for their
rental and running expenses.
: The two braye women.' then went to
Coamo, nursing the sick there, and later
San Juan, as soon as that place was un
der the American flag, starting a hos
pital there. General Miles says their
conduct was most : commendable and
praiseworthy.
The suggestion is indorsed by Secre
tary Alger, who ' recommended suitable
action by congress. ' ',' '" '
It is probable the two women will be
given . medals and the thanks of con
gress. ' ' "
