OFFICIALS RELIEVED
 OF GREAT ANXIETY
Feel Satisfied That Cervera's Fleet Is in the Harbor of
 Santiago.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The Navy Department received information to- day which for the first time relieved the officials of the anxiety and doubt that they have felt for the last few days and satisfied them on two vital points-first, that the American fleet under Commo- dore Schley was outside Santiago har- bor, and, second, that Admiral Ger vera's Spanish fleet is inside that har- bor
 This information came from a private source which the naval officials regard as thoroughly reliable. It was from the same source that gave the Navy De- partment the first information almost a week ago that the Spanish squadron was inside of Santiago harbor.
 This source of information has proved

There is an excellent prospect that a war balloon will be used by Commo- dore Schley to investigate the harbor of Santiago, if he is still in doubt as to it's contents by the time the device is placed on board his flagship.
 It is announced to-day that three famous French aeronauts landed in New York yesterday with a special ap- paratus used with great success by the French Government, and that they left for Key West under instructions from the Signal Bureau of the War Depart ment. Their enterprise is understood to be purely personal and in no way involves the absolute neutrality of France.
 Admiral Sampson has not reported to the Navy Department to-day and his exact whereabouts is unknown. His movements are now almost independ- ent of the Strategy Board, change Of policy insisted upon by the President, who has been much impressed by the work of self-reliant Admiral Dewey since his great victory of May 1.
 If Schley reports that Cervera has escaped, Sampson will be instructed to direct the commodore's movements as his Judgment may dictate.
 The Strategy Board hereafter will do
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-29

One of the widest rumors of the war was current this morning to the effect that the signal officer engaged as cen sor over a French cable from Mole St. Nicholas to New York had notified the War Department that a message from a reliable source" had gone over the wire stating that twelve Spanish war vessels, presumably Admiral Ger vera's fleet, and several colliers, had just steamed out of the Windward Pas sage m i northwesterly direction
 This startling statement might have meant that Cervera had outwitted Sampson and was on his way to att coast The War Department promptly denied the canard. which bore evidence of having been put on foot to test the nervous inhabitants of the southern coast cities.
 There Is no doubt the faith of the administration, which up to Thursday was strong that Cervera was at Santi- ago, has been shaken by the persistent rumors of his escape before Schley mounted guard before the narrow en- trance to the harbor. It is significant that Postmaster General Smiths news paper, the Philadelphia Press which has given evidence of receiving Cabinet in- formation on more than one occasion, to-day. gives up the Santiago theory, saying:
 As Schley was at Cien- fuegos on Tuesday, accord- ing to a dispatch boat report, and 1t was over goo miles from there to Santiago, it is absolutely certain that he did rot reach the latter port before late "Wednesday, or six days after the Spanish fleet entered Santiago. It would be a little remarkable if the Spanish fleet should have re- mained all that time at San tiago. But there was noth- ing whatever to prevent it from going out of Santiago until Schley's arrival

PRIVATE PROPERTY IN WAR.

The experiences of the last year bring
forcibly home to rs a sense of the bur.
dens and the waste of war. We desire,
in common with most civilized nations, TO
reduce to the lowest possible point the
damage sustained III time of war by
peaceabe trade and commerce. Tt is
true we may suffer in such cases less
than other communities, but all nations
are damaged more or less by the state
Of uneasiness and apprehension into
which an outbreak of hostilities throws
the entire commercial world. 1t should
be our object, therefore, to minimize, so
far as practicable, this inevitable loss
and disturbance. This purpose can prob
ably best be accomplished by an inter-
national agreement to regard all private
property at sea as exempt from capture
or destruction by the forces of belligerent
powers. The United States Government
has for many years advocated this hu-
name and beneficent principle, and is
now in position to recommend it to other
powers without the imputation of sell
fish motives. / therefore suggest for
your consideration that the Executive be
authorized to correspond with the Gov
ernments of the principal maritime pow
ers with view of Incorporating into the
permanent law Of civilized nations tile
principle of the exemption uf all private
property at sea, not cOntraband of war,
from capture or destruction by bellig-
erent powers.

The nermission granted before the out

you a favorable conclusion of the pend

is the earnest wish of this Government
to remove all sources of discord and ir-

the two countries is constantly increas-

that all reasonable facilities should be
granted for its development.
