SAFELY BOTTLED UP.
SchIey Sends Positive Word that He Has Ger
vera in Santiago Harbor

Washington. May 3o.-At u, so this
morning. tMonday) the navy depart
ment received a dispatch from Com
mcdore Schley announcing definitely,
that he had located Admiral Cervera-
Cape Verde squadron in the Bay Of
Santiago de Cuba. The commodore
states that he has seen ana recognized
the vessels of the Spanish fleet
While the naval officials have been
morally certain for several days that
CefVcra's squadron was in the harbor
Of Santiago. the official announcement
from Commodore Schley was received
by the officers on duty at the depart
ment with intense satisfaction AS
surancrs are now doubly sure that the
Spanish fleet is bottled up and that the
cork is in the bottle.
It is not believed that Admiral Ger
vera will attempt 10 escape from the
predicament in which he now finds
himself, as such a course would surely
result in the destruction Of his vessels
and the loss of many lives, precious t.
Spain. The suggestion is made. how
ever that the Spaniards may blow mp
his ships rather than have them fail in
to the hands Of Schley. as they Ger
tainly will if they remain in the har-
Dor
The definiteness of Schlcy's dispatch
Indicate that he has effected a landing
near Santiago and made a personal
investigation of the harbor. 1t would
be impossible from the entrance to the
bay definitely to see and recognize the
Spanish vessels. but by effecting Il
landing at some point on either side If
the entrance a vantage point could be
gained Very likely from which the en-
tire harbor could be examined. In all
probability. Commodore Schley or one
of his trusted officers has successfully
performed this hazardous undertaking
in order to obtain the valuable infor-
nation contained in his dispatch.
1t is impossible, owing to the lateness
of the hour, to obtain any official ex-
preston upon the news from Commo-
dore Schley. What effect the certainty
that Cervera is practically helpless win
have upon the plans of the administra-
ton with reference to the invasion of
Cuba can only be conjectured. The
transportation of land forces to the
island, it was understood, was delayed
because of the uncertainty concerning

policy will be carried out in recruiting
under the second call.
The appottiJnment to the states has
been made up but not yet given to the
public. Through urgent representa-
tions to Secretary Algcr some of the
states were permitted under the first
call to furnish a greater number Of
troops than they were legally entitled
to on the basis of population.
Consequently in raising the $4,000
men under the second call these in
equ&lilies will be remedicd as far as
practical with the result that some of
the states may not be called on TO fur

This course probably may give rise
to discontent in states where the men
