LONDON, May 23.-The Times this
morning, in an article reviewing the
war, takes it for granted that Admiral
Cervera's squadron coaled in Vcne-

and to have arrived at Santiago on
the 10Th.
The Times says: Gwen II 1t took
longer route to escape observation, Ad-
miral Cervera's force has been very
deliberate In its movements, and his
fast cruisers have not yet shown their
speed. His strategy, so much boasted
at Madrid, is not yet apparent. Pos
sibly his movements are hampered by
the torpedo boats, but the extreme

there or not seems to be open to ques-
tlon. There is no doubt of the fact
now that the Yucatan strait and the
Strait of Florida are thoroughly pa
trolled, and that there Is no possibility
OF the Spaniards getting into the Gulf
of Mexico or reaching Havana from the
westward, which 1t was presumed was
their original intention, owing to the
southerly course taken from Marti-
nique. The navy department has no
official advices Of the departure Of the
Spanish fleet from Santiago, but takes
1t for granted that, If Admiral Cervera
has left that port, he would be in di-
rect communication with Havana.
The utmost mystery surrounds the
movement of the American fleet, and
no one outside of few high officials
knows exactly where Schley and Samp-
son are located or how many ships
they have with them. Secretary Long
went to Massachusetts to spend Sun
day, and for this reason it is believed
that the clash between the two fleets
is farther off than was generally an
ticipated.

horses of any stallion we know of in

progeny. That horse is
BAY McGREGOR.
Your show to breed speed from him
is just as good as from any stallion in
Minnesota or Iowa while your show
to breed a carriage horse, fine
driver, qnick seller is better than
from any other stallion anywhere OF
