Special to Reporter.
New York1 May 20. The Sun's
eleven o'clock edition' prints a
telegram from Washington that
newspaper men and other usual-

minor vessels are there aud the
real fleet is elsewhere. Tho be
lief has become strong that the
American Government is deceiv-
ing the public for. stragelic
reasons.
(Steflens &. Lowdon's early

Ceveras fleet is perhaps at Cien-
fuegos but as the above is some
hours later the fact is that none
