WASHINGTON, June 3.-At the Cabinet
meeting this morning there was complete
satisfaction felt at the war situation, anC
the President expressed the opinion tina,
there would be some decisive action or
the part of the fleet at Santiago.
The discussion proceeded on the as
sumption that news of an important ac.
ton might be received at any time
While the general idea OF naval opera.
t o S a. this time contemplates preparG-
tion for the landing of troops and mill
tary operations to complete the work,
the idea seems to prevail that there was
possibility that Admiral Sampson and
Commodore Schley, with the aid OF the
Cubans, might settle the whole business
at one blow, having once started in upon
the attack.
Secretary Long, who is confined at his
home with a strained muscle of his lee,
still has no information in regard to the
attack on Santiago last Tuesday, but tie
Cabinet was informed by the President
that this movement was merely preIini-
nary to the general operations. A de-
cisive blow is expected to be struck right
away, and the President is of opinion
that Commodore Schlev has postponed a
report until he has accomplished what
he set oUt to do.

On THURSDAY in the Court OF Quarter
Sessions in Philadelphia Edward Myers
alias Emanuel Anger, was sentedced tt
ten months in the county prison by
Judge Breezy.
He was convicted on the charge OF
forging bogus order for a number Of
signs he is alleged to have sold to a
Wilmington firm.
The testimony was that Myers had
entered into the employ Of Edward W..
Lukens, the proprietor Of sign paint
ing firm on North Thirteenth street.
Philadelphia, and soon after presented
an order for signs amounting to $50 from
the dry goods firm Of Crosby 4 Hill OF
this city, This rider pnrported to have
been signed by one Of tie firm, but in
vestigation showed that it was bogus.
The jnry Immediately brought in a
verdict of guilty as to the charges al
legged and evidence was then brought to
show that Myers, or Anger, had been
by another firm as salesman
and given money to canvass the state.

the President has requested the members
to hold themselves in readiness for a
Cabinet meeting at any time, as he eX-
pects news of the fall of Santiago.
The Administration does not expect
this battle to be accomplished with as
little loss of life as that at Manila. In
fict, the President and members of the
STRAIT gic B ,ard anticipate considerable
loss Of life and possibly the destruction
of one or more OF our vessels. In speak

"We cannot conquer natioN with

State Department here, and say that as

government for the Cubans to enforce as

PARIS, June Sin this city the belief
grows that Admiral Cervera is not at
Santiago de Cuba
The Madrid correspondent of the
Gaulois says he has learned from the
highest authority that Admiral Cervera
has never been in the harbor of Santiago
de Cuba, and that the Spanish ships
there belong to Captain Vlllami1s tor
redo squadron.
1t appears from the information
gathered by the Gaulois' correspondent
that Admiral Cervera, after leaving tie
Cape Verde Islands, ''manoeuvred so as
t, deceive the Americans and then
started at full speed for the Philippine
Islands, where the fleet is to arrive on
Saturday or Sunday. His orders are to
destroy Admiral Dewey's fleet, and then
intercept, capture, or destroy the Ameri-
can transports on their way to the Phil
ippine Islands from San Francisco"
In conclusion the correspondent of the
Gaulois says: "Admiral Camara's squad
ron may be expected to join Admiral
Cervera's in the Philippine Islands in a

Special Dispatch to THE Sun.

Special Dispatch to THE Sun.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-The President
is anxious to proceed with all possible
speed against Porto Rico, and it is posi-
bic that the troops already embarked
may 60 to San Juan and those ordered to
Tampa may be diverted to Jacksonville,
if the news from Santiago shows that
that place has fallen.
The situation at Santiago, added othe
financial condition of Spain will not be
able to hold out much longer and the
war will come to speedy termination
There have been intimations that
Spain may, through France or Austria,
declare to the United States that she is
ready to accept the terms of our ul-
timatnm sent p,ior to the war. By doing
this the Spanish Government hopes that
she may be able to save her possessions
in the Pacific, if not also Porto Rico, as
the ultimatum contemplated simply the
freedom OF Cube.
1t is known, however, that such
proposition would not be accepted, and
the reply would be that the circum-
stances hive entirely changed, and that
we will not accept any proposition for
peace until the purposes Of the Admins
tration, as now outlined, have been ac-
complished
1t is claimed by oiiic ais of the State
Department that our blockade and oc-
cupation OF Cavite in the Philippines is,
in international law, tantamount to
occupation, and that it could be held.
1t is also claimed that no ovelturcs for
peace would be accepted which did not
involve the immediate Surrender OF the
Spanish forces at Manila and those at
Porto Rico.
The fact that the expedition against
Porto Rico is already in motion involves
operations against that island which can
be terminated only by surrender.

given himself up at that place and had
asserted that he was wanted in this city
for murder committed here on the night

Chief Dolan places very little credence
in the story for the reason that no one
was murdered here on tine date named.
He, however, wired back asking the
authorities there to secure the story
from the man and then let him know
the facts by mail.
In the latter end of September, 1s9 .

General Miles left Washington that he
would lead one OF the expeditions, but il
is now said positively in the War De
partment that he will not leave the
United States at present.
The expeditions to Sam iago and Porto
Rico, important as they are regarded, are
not significant in regard to the number
OF troops expected to be employed. They
are distinctly commands belonging to
the Major-Generals in command OF corps
and divisions, and not to the Major
General commanding the army. General
William X. Shafter will doubtless COM
mand the expedition to Santiago and
General Fitzhugh Lee the expedition to
Porto Rico. When the general invasion
of Cuba begins, involving the use of 75.-
600 or 100000 troops, General Miles will
lead the army in person.
