Spies Becoming Bold.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 29.-An inAucn.
tial resident of Key West, who has al
ways taken an active part in advocating
the Cuban cause, says that the doings OF
Spanish spies here are becoming so
notorious that it behooves the authori-
ties at Washington to take immediate
action in the matter. These men, he says
hold meetings nightly. Their meeting
places are known to the public. One Of
them is not rar from the Government
reservation and the Marine Hospital,
the other being on Petrona street. The
authorities here have repeatedly been
cautioned of the doings OF these spies, but
the Government does not appear to place
any confidence in the information given.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 29.-The expedi.
ton to relieve Admiral Dewey in the
Philippines has started Yesterday
morning the Charleston made its second
start from the Mare Island Navy Yard,
laden with ammunition and other mu.
milton of war for the use of the gallant
commander. There will be no turning
back this time. The condensers, which
were responsible for the delay in the
departure, have been thoroughly over
hauled With them every other bit of
apparatus aboard the ship has been over
looked and there is nothing now to in
terrupt the long journey to Manila save
the necessity OF IA stop at the Sandwich
Islands to renew the coal supply. By a
judicious use Of coal on the first stage of
the journey, Honolulu should be reached
by the Charleston in seven days Al
lowing one day for delays incidental to
unfavorable weather conditions and one
day to coal, the second stage of the
Journey should be begun by June and
the Charleston should steam in past Cor
regidor Island and join Admiral Dewey's
fleet in the harbor of Cavite bv June 2O
The cruiser passed the lightship after
a five hour run shortly after noon. Cap
tain Glass then took southwesterfy
course, steaming at about ten knots.
With colors flying the last sight of the
ship was seen from the decks of the
Manchester, which was steaming into
the Golden Gate after safe journey
from Callao. The seven thousand miles
Journey before the crew did not dismay
the men in the least, for they gave the
Manchester great salute and a cheer as
they bade farewell to the last American
flag they would see for thirty days.

Schley Heard From.

Special Dispatch to THE Sun.
: WASHINGTON, May 22.-The Navy De-
partment tonight received a dispatch
from Commodore Schley, who arrived
off Santiago on Thursday morning, The
dispatch was not given out.
A report was circulated that the Navy
Department had stated that Schley re-
ported that Cervera's Spanish fleet was
"bottled up at Santiago. On inquiring
at the department late tonight it was
stated that no such information had been
given out and that it was shameful
fake" Secretary Long was not at depart
after ! | O'Clock and he could not be found.
! In appears, therefore, that the mystery
as to the Spanish fleet continues.
Charles ID. Smith, an engineer, who
was employed until recently for six
years at place a short distance from
Santiago, and who is very familiar with
that city and its harbor, but who is now
in Chicago, has just made statement in
these words:
81 am certain that the largest Ameri-
can warships cannot pass into Santiago
Bay owing to the winding entrance,
which will not allow long boat to 20

"bottled up in S, ntiago Harbor," a prac-

would be to send up balloon from one

Special Dispatches to THESUN.
WASHINGTON, May 29.-Admiral Samp.
sons fleet is back at Key West, getting
ready for the descent on Havana.
The arrival of Sampson at the home
port means that Cerverl is corked up in
Santiago de Cuba, that Commodore
Schley can do what he pleases with him
there, and that the ships under the Amer
ican Admiral are thus left free to tackle
Havana wheneNes they choose to do So.
All reports from Key West indicate
that the great blow of the war is soon to
be struck. Sampson is ready and eager
for the bombardment. A great army is
prepared to make descent at whatever
base is selected.
There will be no need for delay in get
ting Sampson ready. His ships are filled
with ammunition, and have long been
stripped for fighting. Transports are
ready to convey sufficient soldiers to ef-
feet landing and hold base of opera.
tions. The land artillery is in shape for
active operations. All the neces-
sary munitions of war are at hand
for quick descent.
The air of uncertainty which has
clouded the Board of Strategy and the
officials at the Executive Mansion has
vanished. Evidently they now zee
their way clear to decisive action.
When Sampson arrived at Key West
today he wired fully his knowledge of
conditions along the Cuban coast, and
also sent suggestions as to the best
methods of procedure.
His dispatch started all the depart
ments connected with the war into un-
usual activity, and, on coming from the
President tonight, high official said:
