man happy prospects of a large prize
fund. The prize vessels constitute
fleet almost as formidable as that now
waiting at Port Tampa to carry the
troops to Cuba and in view of the fact
that those 27 transports can only ac-
commodate $4,000 to 10000 troops
army men are wondering if the Span
ish steamers might not be made avail
able for the purpose.
The great problem now both at Key
West and Tampa is that relating to
the movement of troops. At Tampa
there are now about $1,000 regulars
and many thousands of volunteers.
There are daily arrivals of troops at
Tampa, Port Tampa and Lakeland, but
some of the volunteer regiments have
not yet received their complete ac-
coutrements, though the latter will
soon be forthcoming.
The southern portion of Florida is
beginning to realize how difficult a
matter it is to supply this great army
of new residents with necessaries and
comforts. Here at Key West after a
dry season of five months the rain
has come at last and renewed the
drinking water supply. This at least
was an opportune visitation of Provi-
dence, and with it all the soldiers are
making merry.
At Tampa they are tenting in the
sand hills about the town, strictly
disciplined, kept closely to regulation
not much amusement, anXiously
waiting for the order to move on
Cuba. This, it is generally believed
by army men, will not be received at
an early date, for there is, first of all,
the state of Florida expedition" to be
heard from, an expedition to supply
General Maxine Gomez with arms and
ammunition.

Key West, My 27.-Definite news
ting in Cuban waters has been received
here fully confirming the general sit
uation outlined in these dispatches
yesterday. Commodore Schley is be-
lieved to be off Santiago de Cuba, and
definite information as to the exact
situation in so far as it affects Admiral
Cervera's squadron may be expected
at any hour. Rear Admiral Sampson
is in a position to proceed quickly to
the assistance of Commodore Schley,
with any or all of his ships, on receipt
of definite word from Schley, and at
the same time he remains within
striking distance of Havana.
If, however, Commodore Schley re-
ports that Admiral Cervera is bottled
up at Santiago de Cuba the naval view
is that Schley will be permitted to
finish the business at that point with
the ships now under his direct COM

COMBINED ATTACK ON
SANTIAGO AND HAVANA
Special to HERALD.


Washington, May 27.-Recent naval move.
ments point unmistakably to q combined
attack on Havana at an early date by land
and naval forces. Admiral Simpsons war
ships are now in the immediate vicinity of
Havana, having returned from his eastern
course after learning that Schlcy had the
Spanish fleet bottled up at Santiago.
Navy officials have no doubt but that
CeWcm is bottled up by Schley. If they
had not positive information, Sampson
would not, under instructions have returned
to Havana. His return presages an attack ON
the forts at the latter place augmented by an
attack on land Prompt and decisive blows
are to be struck, and the Invading army is to
move at once. 1t can be positively stated
that MORO Castle will be bombarded, and the
attack on land and sea will be continued un-
til Havana surreuders.
When this is accomplished supplies will be
landed for the starving Cubans Admiral
Sampson will then turn his attention to
Porto Rico, at which point troops will be
port after it surrenders.
During this time Schley will have probably
disposed Of Admiral Cervera's ships and
captured Santiago. As outlined above is the
plan adopted by the navy and army officials
after prOtracted conference.
General Miles and his staff, together with
President Mckinley and Secretary of War
Alger, will review the troops at Camp Alger
tomorrow.
To-day's Cabinet meeting was devoted to
the consideration Of the program discussed at

Key West May 27.-Three unknown men
attacked the guards at the mortar battery
near Fert Taylor yesterday.
The strangers fired on the sergeant'of the
guard, who says he recognized the men as
Spaniards.
The firing was sharp and lasted some time.
The strangers eventually fled, but appeared
again at eleven o'clock last night and opened
fire on the sergeant of the guard again.
Pistols were the weapons used and the
sergeant was wounded in the elbow, after
which the Spaniards fled again.

SCHLEY TELEGRAPHS
TO WASHINGTON.

Special TO EVENING HERALD.
New York, May 27.-A Washington des-
patch says that Commodore Schley has
telegraphed the Navy department that the
Spanish feet is surely at Santiago de Cuba,
and that the American squadron is lying of
that port. One of his scouts secured this
positive information from an insurgent sym
pathizer. Schley nor none of his men have
seen the Spanish fleet, because of the high
hills and the bend in the harbor entrance,
but they place much reliance in the honesty
of the insurgents. Schley has probably been
at Santiago since Sunday

then advised the merchants to tender ship
ments to the roads and take their refusal
in writing to handle the goods. SO far as
can be learned tonight no shipments were
rendered today. Ullman, Lewis & Co said
they had no regular shipment ready and
did not care to make up merely as a test.
In day or two, however. the roads will BE-
rendered some shipments and it remains
