NO LONGER ANY DOUBT

IN Washington That the Spanish
Squadron is Bottled Up in Santiago
HarbOr.
Washington, D. c., May 25.-There
seems no longer doubt that the Spanish
feet in Santiago harbor is hemmed in
by Commodore Schley, and that escape
is impossible. Members of the Cabi-
net are exultant. They do not state
the exact position of SIMPSONS fleet,
but say that it is acting in concert with
Schley, and can come to his relief at
any time. The published report that
another and more formidable fleet is
nroute from Cadiz to the relief of the
Imprisoned squadron is not credited,
but should it be fact, the move would
be welcomed as it would certainly re-
suit in the destruction of the two fleets
instead of one.
1t is authoritatively stated that the
situation of the Santiago harbor is such
that our gunboats, which are available
Tor the purpose, could successfully pre-
vent the escape of the Spaniards, thus
relieving a considerable part of both
SIMPSONS and Schley's fleets for opera
lions elsewhere.

THE LONDON PRESS
Shows Variety Of Disposition Toward
America and the War

London. May 25.-In the newspapers
ta-d2v there are several striking in
Stances Of American and anti-American
fs5,ing. While the majority allude
with pleasure to the references to the
Ouesr in Yesterdays celebration at
New York and Tampa, and in the
Draver Of the chaplain of che Senate,
The Morning Post has a violent denun-
cation Of America from Hon Stewart
Erskine.
On The other hand the ST. James Ga
zaita hitherto bitterly anti-American,
seems TO be becoming much more
friendly 1t says, regarding the dispo-
sition to blame America for the slow
progress of the war:
Sailors are well aware that delay is
the essence of a naval war. They re-
member that Nelson found it difficult
to discover the Spanish fleet somewhere
between Jamaica and CadiZ, and they
Itallzs that this slow procession is not
interesting But the presence of the
guaboats around the sullen island
mems that the American officers are
getting the range of every gun of the
batteries that VIII later oppose the
landing of the troops, just as Nelson
did on a similar occasion"

various points with a view to dis
lodging some of the stocks which were
bought Yesterday in the excitement
over supposed victory in Cuban
waters The complete discrediting OF
Yesterdays flood of rumors made the
market seem very Vulnerable this
morning. The declines for Americans
in London added to this appearance,
and there was selling for that account
in the early dealings in place of the
rather urgent buying which was fea-
ture of yesterdays market. The COM
nletion of the settlement on the London
exchange apparently ended the de-
mand which was attributed to large
outstanding short interest. But the
early reaction did not go far and was
checked by the vigorous support and
