SANTIAGO A RAT TRAP.
Navy Department Announces Arrival of
spanish Fleet.

Washington, May 23.-All of the
news that was given out today at the
navy department was comprised in the
one short bulletin posted at the close
Of the day, stating that the department
had information, believed to be correct,
that Admiral Cervera. with his flying
squadron, was at Santiago de Cuba.
This went to confirm the newspaper re-
ports, and the Madrid cablegram pub
lshed this morning, the latter rather
unusual circumstance for the Spanish
bulletins have been notably deceptive
ever since the flying squadron lett
Cadiz. Accepting this statement as
correct, it indicates that there is little
probability of a hostile meeting be-
tween Sampson and Schley and Adj
mlral Cervera Immediately.
Looking over the charts of Santiago
harbor, the navy department soon dis
covered that the place would be YER
liable rat trap for the Spaniards, with
its narrow entrance, in which single
American monitor could blow up the
whole Spanish feet.
Officials of the Cuban delegation here
who believed that the Spanish fleet
arrived at Santiago de Cuba say about
all the Sraniards can accomplish at
that point is to secure base OF opera
tions in a fairly we'll fortified harbor.
and also lay in coal from the golfers
which are understood to have preceded
the feet there.
Senator Shoup, of Idaho, who spent
some time with the president today,
expressed the belief that the reported
arrival OF the Spanish fleet at Santiago
was true, and that it might have the
effect Of bringing about an earlier close
of the war than was expected. lie
thought, however, the indications were
that the war might last year.

Kingston, Jamaica, May 21.-Refu-
gees who arrived here today from San
tlago de Cuba on board the steamer
Adula say the nsurgent district COM
manders in Eastern Cuba are moving
nearer and nearer to Santiago de Cuba.
1t appears that Brigadier- General
Mendez, by order of General Calixto
Garcia, has been moving the insurgent
forces to the neighborhood of Calm.
ero, on the south coast, and Brigadier-
General Castillo, Of the insurgent
army, has shifted his command to
within 20 miles of Santiago de Cuba.
Smallest insurgent bands engage in
nightly raids on the garrisoned towns,
to within about six miles of the city of
Santiago de Cuba. They retire with.
out pursuit after thoir forays.
The concerted design is to cut off the
meat, vegetable and fruit supply of the
city. Meantime the prices of provi-
sions at Santiago are even less than
they were three weeks ago, during the
first panic following the outbreak of
hostilties between Spain and the
United States, and the expectation OF
being blockaded. Small cargoes of
flour, groceries and canned goods have
been received by schooners from ia
maica and Hayti, and the markets Of
Santiago de Cuba are full of fish.
Senior Enrique Capriles, governor of
Santiago de Cuba, in an interview in
La Bandera Espanola of May Is, is
quoted as saying:
Spain has 300, 900 regular troops
and volunteers in Cuba. Those of US
who are from Spain are acclimated and
we are entrenched. Therefore, one of
rs Is equal to two invaders; yes, to
three invaders. We hear America pro-
poses to assail Us with $4,000 men,
some reports say 100, 900. We invite
four times that number to enrich our
fields with their carcasses. The
glory. Let rs keep our hearts elevated
by patriotism and thoughts of our
wrongs. Our flag has been called the
golden and bloody flag of Spain In
our hands may it indeed win the
name"
The feeling against Americans in
Santiago de CUBA is most bitter. The
Spanards threaten to confiscate the
plantations owned by Americans.
