SCHLEY TO HOLD CERVERA.

New York, May 95.-A special from
Washington to the Evening World says:
1t is learned on high authority that the
situation and plans of the administration
are ABOUT as follows:
Admiral Cervera's fleet is held prison.
or in Santiago de Cuba by Commodore
Schley's squadron. He will not be forced
to battle but cannot escape without one,
in which event he would be destroyed
While Schley keeps the Spanish war
ships in Santiago, Admiral Sampson
will concentrate section of the fleet and
co operate in landing the army of inva-
sion in Cuba.
The transportation of troops will begin
about the end of this week, the regular
army forming the vanguard and the
volunteers being rushed as rapidly as
transports can be procured.
With the landing of the troops the bonn
bardment of Havana by monitors and
battleships will also begin, thus so
dividing the attention of the Spaniards
that the landing of the army cannot be
successfully opposed.
A fleet of smaller cruisers, gunboats
and mixed auxiliaries will cover the
disem barkation of the troops
Gen. Miles will be in chief command
and may go to the front tomorrow night

GOOD NEWS INDEED.
osegon Arrives and Cervera Is Bottled Up
at Santiago.

| washington. May 25. --Secretary of the
NaVy Long. was at the White House
twice This morning to see the President,
spending only few minutes each time.
oh leaving the second time he made the
important announcement OF the safe ar
rival OF the battleship Oregon at Jupiter,
"a. AZ the same time, Secretary Long,
whlie stating that no official advices had
peen received of the bottling up of the
spanish fleet at Santiago de Cuba, an
nounced that there was every reason to
believe that was the case. Secretary Long
had only a brief talk with the President
over the situation.
Commodore Schley's position upon
Cervera was the source of much congratu.
iatlon for when the conference took place
in the White House, there was feeling
that 1t brought the end of the war much
| nearer.
| Asked as to the possibility as to ruse
OF some sort occurring from Admiral
Cervera entering the harbor under the
circumstances Secretary Long said the
purposes of the Spanish could be only
conJectured, but 1t might be that they
Went into Santiago for coal
While refraining from discussing the
|
spatch Of Admiral SIMPSONS fleet, now
reported to be in the neighborhood Of
Havana, to Santiago, Secretary Long had
no hesitation in saying Commodore
Schiey could have whatever aid he
| wanted.
Members of the cabinet are exultant
over today's news and although they ara
not willing to make public the source of
| their information, they regard it as per-
| feCtly trustworthy
The published report that another and
more formidable fleet is en- route from
Cadiz to the relief of the imprisoned
squadron. is not credited by members of
the administration, but should this prove
TO be the fact, the move would be well
coined by our naval authorities as it
would certainly result, it is stated, in the
destruction OF two fleets, instead of one.
| The safe arrival OF the Oregon at
Jupiter Inlet, Fla. is spoken Of with
great satisfaction by members of the
cabinet.

| tary Long reports his safe arrival there

SPEED OF INSECTS.
Their Flight More Rapid That That
of Birds.

1t is the popular belief that the flight
of birds is much swifter than that Of
insects, but a number of naturalists
who have been making a study Of the
matter think that such Is not tho case.
A common house fly, for example, is
not verv rapid in its flight, but its
wings make 500 beats a second, and
send II through the air twenty five
feet, under ordinary circumstances, in
that space of time. When the insect is
alarmed. however. it has been found
that IL increases its rate of speed to
over $50 feet per second. II IL could
continue such rapid flight for a mile
in a straight line IL would cover that
distance in exactly thirty-three sec
onds.
1t is not an uncommon thing, when
travelling by rail in the summer time to
see bee or wasp keeping up with the
train and trying to get in at one of
the windows A swallow is considered
one of the swiftest dying birds, and II
was thought until a short time ago
that no insect could escape it, A ma
turalist tells of an exciting chase he
saw between a swallow and a dragon
fly, which is among the swiftest of in
sects. The insect flew with incredible
speed, and the swallow, despite its ut
most efforts, completely failed TO over
