Gen. Miles is reported as saying that no
invasion of Cuba will be attempted until
it is certain that the Spanish fleets are
disposed of. We firmly believe that if the
or even shut up without possibility of
escape, there would be no need of invad-
ing Cuba at all with troops. The hope
lessness of further resistance would then
be SO evident that Spain would sue for
peace

One of the strongest pieces of evidence
that Cervera's feet Is in Santiago is that
1T has not Seen seen of late. From the
time it arrived in the Caribbean until it
went into the Cuban port it was seen
every day. Since then it has not been
seen at all. It would be practically i'm
possible for it to cruise in the Caribbean
for days and entirely escape observation.
