NAVAL OFFICERS
ARE CONFIDENT

Washington. May 24.-OGicial Washing
ton is confident that this Spanish fleet is
bottled up" In the harbor Of Santiago
de Cuba
This confidence is not based upon any
advices from either Rear Admiral Samp-
son or Commodore Scbley. IL Is confi-
dence begotten rather OF the silence OF
these officers and Of the general knowl-
edge Of the situation which exists In OIL
cial circles.
1t is positively stated that the Spanish
flset did arrive at Santiago dc Cuba on
Thursday last, that scouts were stationed
outside of that port Immediately after this
information could be transmitted to
them, aud as they have not reported to
the department tho departure OF the
enemy, the authorities believe they are
still In the harbor.
Furthermore. information which has
besn received here Is to the effect that
some of tho spanish feet were crippled
after the run across. and that repairs ara
being made which have delayed the de-
parture of the sbirs.

assumed command OF the second corps,
and has established his headquarters at
Camp Alger.
In the meantime, although great deal
of interest is centered In the volunteer
regiment, Governor Dyer Is giving great
deal OF attention to the State militia, and
it Is more than probable that he will send
q message to tho General Assem- oily recon-
mending the formation Of ~ company

to the regular army organization. and 1t
is deemed TO be the best method of reor-

retaining the present Naval Reserves, tho
