Port Au Prince, May 3l.-Two Ital.
ians, who set out from Santiago de Gu.
ba In a small boat May 10 and landed
near Mole St. Nicholas on the 22d, ar.
rived here today, bringing information
as to the situation at Santiago. The
state OF affairs there is critical, partiC.
ularly so because of the lack of food.
A great many of the unfortunate PEG.
pie especially the reconcentradoes, are
dying OF starvation. The whole popu.
lation is terribly discouraged and are
keenly DESTROYS of peace.
The arrival OF the squadron under
Cervera without food supplies for the
city deepened the general de~spondency.
Inc squadron has disembarked 500 ar.
tlllerymen and engineers, and landed
$4,000 Mauser rifles, a great quantity
OF ammunition and four big gun des.
tined for the Notifications.
In spite OF the strict silence main.
tanned by officers and crews. the gen.
eral impression, when the Italians left,
was that the squadron would set out
Tor San Juan de Porto Rico to obtain
supplies and land ammunition there.

Spanish vessels, but by ~effecting a land
Ing at some point on either side of the
entrance, a vantage point could be
gained, from which the entire harbor,
it is believed, could be examined. In
all probability, Commodore Schlev, or
one OF his trusted officers, has succeeded
in performing this hazardous undertake.
ing in order to obtain the valuable in.
formation contained in his dispatch.
What effect the certainty that Ger
vera is practically helpless will have
on the plans with reference to the in
vasion OF Cuba can only be coniec-
tured. The transportation OF land
forces, it is thought, was DELAYED be-
cause OF the uncertainty concerning the
location OF the Spanish squadron. II
the understanding is correct. the prob.
ability of an early invasion of Cuba is
strong. 1t is not unlikely that the
movement OF troops, which has been
delayed from time to time, will begin
this week, and before the end of the
week, the United States forces will
have obtained a substantial footLold
uopn Cuban soil.
Commodore Schley has not only his
own squadron, but two or three vessels
besides at his command, and it is not
believed to be possible for the Spanish
admiral to escape with his fleet. No
information is obtainable as to the in.
tentions Of Commodore Schlev.
Whether he will endeavor to force an
entrance to the bay and seek a battle
with the Spanish squadron is not
known, but such a course at present is
not regarded as likely. 1t would be
the better, in the opinion of some ma.
val officials, to keep Cervera and his
vessels safely in the harbor, where they
are absolutely as useless as they would
be at the bottom OF the sea.

Washington, May 81. At 1880
O'Clock this morning the navy depart.
ment received a dispatch from Commo-
dore Schley announcing definitely that
he had located Admiral Cervera's Cane
Verde squadron in the bay of Santiago
de Cuba. The commodore states that
he has seen and recognized the vessels
OF the Spanish feet.
While the naval officers have been
moderately certain for several days
that Cervera's squadron is in the har-
Dor OF Santiago, the official announce
ment from Commodore Schley was re-
celved by the officers on duty at the de-
partment with intense satisfaction.
Assurance is now doubIy sure that the
Spanish fleet is bottled up and the cork
is in the bottle.
1t is not believed that Admiral Ger
vera will attempt to escape from the
predicament in which he now finds
himself, as such a course would surely
result in the destruction Of his YES
sells, and the loss OF many lives precious
to Spain.
The suggestion is made, however,
that the Spanish may blow up the ships
rather than have them fall into the
hands of Schley, as they certainly will
If they remain in the harbor.
