May Bombard New York

Berttx, Apri] 21.—A_ naval expert» aiscussing the war situation, said: There ig a possibility, nay, a probability. of the arrival of a Spanish fleet off New York or some other northern harbor, or harbors, and thas a bombardment must be con- sidered. These harbors have just enough fortifications to permit their bombardment, under the existing internationa! code. But againet ironclads the fortifications would be found to be entirely too weak ‘T'hie guns of the ironclads could easily bombard these cities from a distance of ten miles, while their armor cannot be pierced unless they are within a mile,and then only when the shot strikes at a right-angle. The bombardment of New York woald create a financial panic, which would react especially strong on Hamburg and Bremen. Hence weare vitally interes-

UNDER SEALED ORDERS.

Opinion as to the Departure of The Indefatigable

Hauirax, April 21.—A good deal of cur~ riosity has been evinced concerpipg the de- parture of the Indefatigable under -ealed orders. The orders had been cabled from Bermuda at‘noon by Admiral Sir John , Fisher, and-commanded him to teave as soon as possFbie. Accompanying the order to, proceed to sea (nothing being said as to destination) were sealed orders, which ‘Captain Primrose was instructed to open when clear of Halifax. The order to sail was a surprise equally as great as that fell this garrison when the Leinsver regiment were ordered two weeks ago to proceed to Jamaica. Not even those in the inmost official circles ex- pected it, and the man most surprised at aliwas Captain Primrose, who brought the Indefatigatde here from Bermuda on Menday. Ii is believed that the ship goes to Rarbadoes, where it is thought there is iv- ternal trouble. The West India regiment is there, but it ie not known how this regi- ment would act in caseof a local uprising.
