ing acknowledged unaole to meet the
feet was TO avoid it and cause all the
damage it could to The American coast.
Among other places to be bom barded
was Portland, and an attempt was to
be made to blow up powder mill near
that place. Senior Polo succeeded in
making satisfactory arrangements for
the c0aling of the fee, but the agree
ment was broken owing to American
influence in the coal concern, and the
news of this fact drove the Spaulards
frem Their original intention of touch
ing at Cape Breton and. take. retnge at
Santiago de Cuba. Since then the
Spanish feet has left on its journey to
Cadtz.
Spain's tactics will be to trust to the
fever, General Bianc0's soldiers and
the terrible expense daily incurred by
the American government, and she
will not risk a repetition Of the M4nlla
disaster.

said, "Spain will abandon Cuba, after

Proposal That Spain Be Allowed

Cause OF Haste.

diately move on that island while
Schley guards Cervera. At least 10000
troops will lie sent and another army is
at the same time to enter Cuba. the
transports now being ready.
From cabinet officer it is learned
that the haste in ordering ships and
troops to Porto Rico is owing to the
fact that the president has learned that
the powers are preparing to ask that
Spain be permitted to withdraw from
Cuba and allow peace to be declared.
This intimation came direct from
Europe. The president wants to be
abe to say, Eyes, Spain may with

we will hold Porto Rico and the Philip

and SchIey.
KEY WEST, Fla, May 26.-There is
nothing definitely known here about
the possible operations i'll Eastern
Cuba, but the view is accepted at this
place as a tact that the Spanish fleet is
blockaded in Santiago harbor, in which
event the naval opinion here is that
the Spanish feet has committed sui
eide"
It is now no breach of confidence to
say that Commodore Schley and Rear
Admiral Sampson are believed to have
Admiral Cervera within their
reach, and if the Spaniards are III
Santiago harbor they can be block
AIDED and starved out. A single heavy
American vessel can hold the harbor
through which the Spaniards could
emerge only slngly. The Spanish fleet
is very fast but 1t is not composed of
heavily armored vessels. Indeed any
of Admiral SIMPSONS battlesh!ps
could, l. the opinion OF naval experts,
engage the entire Spanish feet with q
fair chance of coming off victorious.
The American commander has not only
ships for battle, but for the chase as
well. This is the view here where the
movement of the American feet is ap-
proHimately well known.
Among naval officers and people at
Key West generally, there is the most
thorough confidence i'll the skill and
energy of bath the American com.
manders, and it is believed their
triumph in West Indian waters is as

WASHINGTON, May 26.--Secretary OF
the Navy Long was at the White
House twice during the morning to see
the president, spending only a few
minutes each time. On leaving the
second time he made the important an
nouncement of the safe arrival of the
tattleship Oregon at Jupiter inlet, Fla,
about midnight. At the same time,
Secretary Long, while expressly stating
that no Official advices had been re-
celved of the bottling up of the Span
ish fleet in the harbor at Santiago de
CUBA by Commodore Schley's squadron,
announced that there was every reason
to believe that was the case. There
was so little room tor doubling the re-
port that Admiral Cervera and his YES
sells are penned up in the harbor by
Commodore Sch!ey's squadron that
Secretary Longs statement that there
was every reason to believe it, was
supplemented by the President,
who to congressional callers said that
it was undoubtedly true. Secretary
Long had brief talk with the presl-
dent over the situation. The safe arri-
val of the Oregon at Jupiter had been
anticipated by previous announcements
of her safety. Commodore Schley's
catching up with the Cervera feet was
a source of much congratuiation, tor
in the conferences that took place in
the White house there was feeling
that this brought the end of the war
much nearer. Asked as to the posi-
biliry OF ruse Of some sort arising
from Admiral Ceryera's deliberately
entering the harbor under the circnm-
stances, Secretary Long said the pur-
poses of the Spaniards could be only
conjectured, but that it might be they
went into santiago for coaling. While
refraining from discussing specifically
the matter of reinforcement aud the
dispatch of Admiral SIMPSONS fleet,
now asserted to be in the neighborhood
of Havana, to Santiago. Secretary
Long had no hesitation in saying Com
odore Schley could have whatever aid
he wanted.
