 WASHINGTON, June 1.-The last lingering doubt that may have existed as to the presence of Cervera's fleet in it's entirety in Santiago harbor was re- moved when Admiral Sampson's dis patch reached the Navy Department last night. Up to that time informa- tion as to the number and character of the vessels lying in the harbor, shielded from observation by the hills, had been obtained through Cuban sources, sup plemented by such glimpses as could be obtained by the naval officers from the outside entrance. Now, however, according to Lieutenant Blue, the ships have been actually seen by an Ameri- can officer. counted and inspected from points of vantage afforded by the big hills surrounding the harbor.
 The officials here are full of praise for Lieutenant Blues achievement He has been long known in the navy as an enterprising and daring young off, cer, but 1t required @ good deal of sus- tained courage for him to go ashore In a, hostile country and alone make this reconnaissance. He was. in the eye of military law, nothing more or less than spy, and had he been captured by the Spaniards he would have been tried by a drumhead court-martial and ex> aoI1fed

and is hardly likely to proceed in that
direction now even if that was part of
its original intention. Neither is it likely
to sail for the Cuban coast for it would
almost certainly be out off before it could
get into Havana harbor, and destroyed.
The probability would seem to be that
it would proceed toward the South
American coast in the hope of intercept
ing and capturing the Oregon. When last
heard from that vessel was at Bahia.
From Bahia to Pernambuco is about 700
miles, and if the Oregon touches there, as
it is probable she will, she ought to be
heard from shortly. II she touches there
of course she VIII be informed of the
whereabouts of the Cape Verde feet, and
thus warned it is altogether probable that
she will take a. course that will complete-
ly battle the search for her. But if the
Spanish fleet fingers about the north coast
of South America in hopes to catch the
Oregon it is extremely likely to have to
fight Commodore Schley's squadron which
sailed from Hampton Roads yesterday
presumably in search of it. Indeed it
looks very much as if the Cape Verde
feet was destined to get itself between the
squadron of Admiral Sampson and the
fleet of Commodore Schley and have to
fight one or the other.

At last the Cape Verde feet mas been de-
fnitely located. 1t is or was day or two
ago, at Martinique. one of the French Vest
Indies. Martinique is about $50 miles in
straight line from San Juan, Porto
Rico, where Sampson's fleet is, and nearly
1850 hundred miles from Havana. 1t lies
pretty near the course the Oregon would
take on her way from the South Ameri-
can coast to Key West 1t is difficult to
understand why the feet should turn up
at this point unless Its purpose was to
intercept the Oregon, and 1t was COM
pelled to put in at Martinique for coal or
supplies. Had its destination been Porto
Rice it is hard to see why it should
take this roundabout course to get there.
Its officers must have known that its
arr ival at Martinique would be reported,
for Martinique is French and not a
Spanish island and dispatches from that
point could not be censored Under the
neutrality laws, it cannot remain at Mar.

The despatch from Admiral Dewey
seems to disprove the story that an
archy was prevailing at Manila, and that
neither the Admiral nor the Spaniards
were able to preserve order. The city is
at the mercy of the American admiral
and There can be no doubt that he will be
able to hand it over to American troops
when they arrive. The talk of Spain's

talk. A lot of Spanish transports filled
with troops would have to surrender or 20
to the bottom long before they reached
Manila, unless it was conveyed by feet
powerful enough to beat off Dewey's and
