Key West, May 31.--Everybody
knows now that Spain's flying squad
ron, four splendid cruisers and two
torpedo boat destroyers, is imprisoned
in Santiago harbor Speculation now
is over the probable disposition of the
Spaniards-whether they will be block
AIDED or the forts reduced and the ves-
sells compelled to fight. In the latter
case there can be but one result, for
Commodore Schley has some of the
finest ships in the world, to say moth
ing of cruisers and various smaller
vessels, and could in a few days be
reinforced by other powerful warships.
1t would be foolhardiness on the part
of Cervera to offer battle.
An interesting story remains to be
told of the reasons which led Cervera
to Santiago, and of the way in which
he was hemmed in. 1t is now known
that when the Spanish admiral sailed
for the West Indies he expected to
enter San Juan de Porto Rico for coal
and supplies. On touching at Curacao
for news his plans were upset by the
receipt of dispatches telling him that
Rear Admiral Sampson had lombard
ed the San Juan fortifcations, and was
still in the neighborhood of Porto
Rico. Thereupon Cervera sailed for
the south coast of Cuba.
Commodore Schley lured the Span
ish fleet into Santiago by a rIse nv

Chickamauga Park, May 31-The
greatest excitement prevailed in Camp
Thomas yesterday over rumor that
a general order had been issued to all
troops in camp here to proceed at once
to Tampa. Every man seemed to be
glad, and there was a general hustling
about in the various camps, each man
acting as though he expected to be Or
dered to pack his traps on the instant
to be ready to move to the front. The
rumor, when traced to its source,
proved to be only partly true, only
eight regiments being affected by an
order from the war department, as fol-
lows: First Ohio, One Hundred and
Fifty-seventh Indiana Third Pennsyl-
vania, First Illinois, Second New York,
Sixty-ninth New York, Fifth Mary
land and First District of Columbia.
These regiments are ordered to pro-
ceed at once to Tampa, and the work
of preparation began last night. II is
understood that four of. the regiments

the most clever maneuvering the COM
he had left in disgust. They took the
bait and ran into the harbor Com
modore Schley moved down Saturday
morning, and at o'clock, going close
to the harbor, he saw the Cristobal
Colon, the Maria Teresa and two tor
pedo boats He believes the entire fleet
is there. He sat on the after triangle
of the Brooklyn until after the dis
covery of the fleet, and he then went
to breakfast, saying: 81 have got
them, and they will never get home"
1t is certain that Cervera could not
have escaped from Santiago without
being discovered, for the American
scouts had been prowling about the
port for ten days, and other scouts
had not been far away. Practically
Santiago has been blockaded for that
length of time. Cervera's coal ship,
which followed him from Curacao to
Santiago, was captured last Wednes-
day, and at the very moment when the
queen regent was cabling her cOngrat-
ulations the coils were tightening
about him.
The belief here is that all other
movements in the West Indies will be
held in allegiance until the Spanish
squadron is disposed of. In case San
tiago is attacked the news of the bat
tie will be sent from Mole st. Nicolas
and Kingston, and the prizes and
wounded will be sent to Key West.

1t is intimated in official circles that com

Having positive knowledge that Ceryera's
squandron is at Santiago, the government
will Immediately begin military operations
against that port. Orders have already been
issued to Gen. shafter directing that from
5000 to 20, 900 be embarked at once. Gen
Lee will also head detachment Of troops
bound either for Cuba or Porto Rico. Gen.
Miles is now on his way South, but it is not
believed that he will command the expedi-
tion in person.
The next expedition to leave San Francisco
for the Philippine Islands will not depart be-
fore the middle of next week. Three regi-
ments of regulars and four of volunteers are
to so, the 10th Pennsylvania being among
the latter.
A session of the Cabinet was called at
eleven o'clock this morning.
Among the White House visitors to-day the
belief was general that word of battle at
Santiago might be expected at most any
hour.
They are inclined to doubt that Commo-
dore Schley would wait either to starve out
Admiral Cervera, or wait for the appearance
of the army expedition.

Dewey Gives Manila Faith Bresl-ars a
Lesson on Obedience.
Special to EVENING HERALD.
Hong Kong, May 31.-Letters received
here late yesterday, dated Manila, 27th, state
that there is much sickness on board the
cruiser Boston of Rear Admiral Dewey's
fleet.
1t is said the sickness has been caused by
poisoned fish.
Rear Admiral Dewey has taught the
Spanish forces another sharp lesson.
Dewey had promised that if the spauiards
refrained from strengthening their defences
he would not lombard.
The Spaniards were caught violating their
pledge and Dewey fired over their heads.

four tomorrow. The regiments ordered
out are regarded as the best equipped
and most thoroughly prepared of any
in the camp. This order is interpreted
by the officers and men as an indi-
cation that a speedy forward move
ment is to be made on Cuba and Porto
Rico, and as a consequence there was
as great rejoicing among the volun-
teer soldier boys as there was among
the regulars when they went to Tampa
under the impression that they were
going at once to Cuba.
With those regiments that arrived
yesterday the troops at the park num-
ber $4,000. The regiments going away
number 5000. The First Maine in
fantry, the Second Arkansas and the
Fifty-second Iowa arrived yesterday
afternoon. The latter regiment Is
composed of 900 officers and men. All
the men were uniformed, but only
partly armed.

President Mckinley has practically decided to send 5000 or 5000 western state troops to the Philippine Islands to aid Commodore Dewey in holding the islands until this country relln- quishes control.
 The understanding now is that Cal ifornia volunteer troops will make up the greater part of the force. The re- mainder will come from the other Paci- fc coast states and from western states
 Orders for this force to get ready will probably be issued at once, or at least within few days. Unless the siSuat- ion in the Pacific changes the United States troops will get sway for Manila from San Francisco within week.
 They will be sent on the fastest steamers available, and will be accom- panied by the cruiser Charleston. now undergoing repairs on the Pacific coast.

Hong Kong, Lay 10.-It is said hera that the priests and Sisters of Charity of Cavite hospital, in a procession bearing crosses, etc., petitioned Rear Admiral Dewey not to massacre the sick and wounded, which, naturally, he did not do. The Spaniards, it is assert ed, thereupon thanked the Americans for their humanity, and repaid them by informing them of narrow channel which, they sad, was not mined, while the broad channel, they explained, was fully mined. Investigation revealed the contrary to be the case. The mines were blown up by the sailors ot the American fleet.

month. The decision had been rend- cred by court divided, 5 to 4. That
 demonstrated the fact it was still an open question. MT. Bailey entered upon an extended argument upon the const- Nationality of an income tax, combat ing the theory that it was a direct tax Inhibited by the Constitution. He de- clared that the income tax was the most just tax ever conceived. It was the only tax that rose with mans ability to pay, and fell with his inability to pay. It was the only tax that increased in times of prosperity and decreased in diversity. It took from the citizen only when the citizen was able to pay.
 As for the argument that the tax would be evaded because men would perjure themselves it carried no weight with him. That was simply plea to save rich perjurers from hell, where they ought to be.

 dicated their intention to take the same
 stand the democrats did against the bill
 but in deference to those who said they
 intended to vote for the bill as a war measure, no caucus action was taken.

The pop ulists and silver republican senators will to a man vote agalnst the bonds, but it is expected that the whole bill, bonds and all will pass.
