Cervera is actually there the officials
have
Not the Slightest Apprehension
of any relief coming to him from the
outside in the shape of another Spanish
squadron from Cadiz. The reason for
this belief is their unquestioned ability
to hold Cervera in check with only q
few vessels-perhaps a couple of mont
tors and torpedo boats-thus leaving
the remainder Of the big ar mored feet
and a great number Of unarmored but
serviceable wal craft to take care Of
any reinforcements that might attempt
to come from Spain to Cervera's aid.
The force that could be spared for this
service, without endangering the in.
tegrity of the blockade at Havana or
permitting the escape Of Cervera would
be much larger than the entire Spanish
naval force now in Spanish waters ca.

Too Strong to Storm.
The navy department officials, &C.
cepting the view that Cervera is in
Santiago harbor, are Of opinion that he
is likely to remain there fora long
time, weeks and months perhaps. A
study Of the defenses of the harbor and
topographic features has convinced the
experts that to undertake to carry the
place by storm from the sea and to at.
tack the feet while it is under the pro.
lection of the forts would involve &C
great a loss Of life on onr part III to be
entirely unwarranted under existing

wAsH1xaiTsosN. May &c. y: The issuance
Of the Proclamation by the president
calling for $4,000. volunteers added a
new and stirring phase to the iethargio
conditions which have prevailed Of late
and came With almost startling unex.
pectedness. even to many Of the high
officers in the army.
The proclamation means not only the
assembling Of a large force of troops,
but also the appointment Of a number
Of major generals, brigadier generals,

tional force Of $4,000 men into army

The reasons leading up to the call nat
as 1t was at first felt that the possibility
Of foreign combinations was a factor in
bringing about the move. It speedily
developed that the call was not due to
any
Latent or Serious Emergency,
but was rather in the line of getting
together a large body of men, to be
drilled and seasoned and to constitute
q sort of second reserve to be drawn
upon later when the campaigns were
fully under way. Secretary Alger
stated that the determination to issue
the call had not been reached until late
Tuesday. The merits Of it have been
canvassed more or less for some weeks,
but it was not until a few hours before
the call itself appeared that the move
was finally decided upon. Coming thus
