agitatcd the navy department this morn

under Admiral Cervera Is at Santiago De

The department hopes and believes lt Is.
but 70 FAR It IS not In possession Of ac-
curaic Information on that point The

that Cervera is In Santiago harbor. are OF
the opinion that he Is likely 70 remain
there for a long timc-weeks and months.
perhaps.
A study Of the defenses Of the harbor
and the typographical features has con-
WINGED the experts that 20 undertake 20
carry the place by storm from sea and 20
attack the fleet while u Is under the pro-
teciion Of the forts would Involve 50 great
loss Of life on our part as to be en-
trely unwarranted under existing cir
cumstances. An effort therefore. will
probably be made 10 keep Ceryera inside
Santiago de cuba harbor until starvation
causes the surrender of the Spanish
squadron and the forts Of Santiago That
this can be done Is not doubted by naval
experts, as the narrow channel connect
Ing the inner harbor with the sea. re-
quiring the Spanish ships TO emerge
sIngly would expose them 10 almost GER
tain destruction az the hands Of a couple
of armored vessels or monitors command
