The Spanish ships are net visible from

o. The hills that surround the bay. n dis
patch to the London Daily Mail from
Madrid says that official dispatches from
Cuba confirm the reports that the Ameri-
cans are blockading Admiral Cervcra at
Santiago.
This places Admiral Cerycra and his
ships in prison and incommunicado, ac-
eording to Spanish regulations. They are
AS securely imprisoned as any insurgcnt
in MORO Castle The Spanish admiral
has played himself Spanish trick aud
has bottled himself up in a harbor where
he could not go out and make an even
fight if he wanted to. A much inferior
force could prevent the Spanish fleet leav-
ing the harbor because of the narrow in
let which permits only one vessel to pass
al time. He would have to take his feet
out in single file and he able to use only
his forward guns, while the ships waiting
outside could pour broadsides into him as
he made the run.
Sampson and Schey have the Spaniards
imprisoned and can keep them there until

fleet to Ccrvera' S relief, Sampson can sta

destroy Cervera's feet as it comes out,
ard take the fighting ships to meet the
coming feet. The only question with
naval officers is as to how long it will take
to starve out the Spaniards. 1t is not

troops and the Spanish navy for more
