the spaniards can avoid battle with
Sampson within four or five days II
they are really at Santiago. Sampson $
feet Is probably coaled and in good con-
dition for sailing. Even II the Spanish
ships could secure an adequate supply
of coal al Santiago and should desire
10 run away. Il Is probable that Sampson
would be off that port before the coaling
process could be completed. Even II they
did happen TO goal at extraordinary
speed and leave the port. the scout boats
Yale. ST. Paul Minneapolis. and probably
the Harvard would be on their heels, and
Il will be absolutely impossible for them
60 escape from our ships, unless they
go at extraordinary cruising speed, which
IS altogether improbable, owing TO the
foul condition OF their vessels, and also
because such an act would be regarded
as a display OF cowardice In the eyes
Of the world.
The early part OF next week therefore.
sfould mark another naval victory for
fhe United States If the spaniards arc
at Santiago.

be useless for him to attempt 70 land
provisions and supplies TO succor Blan-
GO at Havana. as there is no railroad
communication between Santiago ana
Havana, and an overland trip would take
six weeks or two months. Besides, Mr..
Ouesada says, the Cuban troops over
run the eastern end Of the island sur
rounding Santiago and It would be I'M
possible for Spanish supplies to be car
ried overland through a country tuu OF
Cuban bands. There are said to be
about 1900 Cuban troops in the imme-
date neighbOrhood OF Santiago, but re-

CABINET MEETING.
The Cabinet held a session Of about the
usual length to-day without doing any
thing materially changing the known
plans and purposes OF the government.
Much interest centered at the meeting
I'm the report that the Spanish fleet has
arrived at Santiago Secretary Long, 1t
is stated. informed the Cabinet that the
meager information received by his de-
partment tended TO confirm the reports
that the feet arrived at the eastern end
OF the island. This information was
such, however, that the fullest reliance
could not be placed upon II, and Secretary
Long himself was in some doubt what
10 think OF the matter. The Secretary
did not communicate anything as TO the
position OF the American warships. He
simply said that there might be naval
battle IN a few days and there might not
he one for weeks or months
Secretary Long also reported the safe
arrival OF the oregon, which has In
creased the strength Of the American
fleet 10 a large extent.
