SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.-The trans port steamers have not sailed, although the soldiers have been on board the City of Pekin since Monday, and on the Australia and the City of Sydney since Tuesday.

Brig. Gen. Anderson and his staff are aboard the Australia and waiting impatiently for the start. Gen. Ander- son is having the work rushed. but ow- ing to the condition of the crowded vessels the crews can not work as rap- idly as he would desire.

CERVERA IS BOTTLED UP.
Little Doubt of the Fact in Now Entertained Among High Off,

scaIEY WATCHING sAMTIAsO DE CUBA.
The President OmciaIiy Informed of the Arrival of the Oregon and Censorts at Jupiter Inlet -ssmpson's Fleet Said to to be Now in the Neighborhood of Ha- vans-A HaytiAn Report.

WASHINGTON. May 26.-Secretary of the Navy Long was at the White House twice during the morning to see the president, spending only few minutes each time. On leaving the second time he made the important announcement of the safe arrival of the battleship Oregon at Jupiter inlet. Fla, Tuesday night. At the same time Secretary Long, while expressly stating that no official advices had been received of the bottling up of the Spanish fleet in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba by Com modore Schley's squadron. announced that there was every reason to believe that was the case. There is so little room for doubting the report that Ad- miral Cervera and his vessels are penned in the harbor by Commodore Schley's squadron, that Secretary Long's statement that there was every reason to believe that it was, was supplemented by the president, who, in reply to inquiries from con gressional callers said that it was un- doubtedly true. Secretary Long had only brief talk with the president over the situation. The safe arrival of the Oregon at Jupiter had been dis counted to some extent by previous an- nouncements of its safety. Commo- dore Schley's catching up with the Cervera's fleet was a source of much congratulation, for in the conferences that took place in the White House there was feeling that it brought the end of the war much nearer. Asked as to the possi- bility of . ruse of somc sort arising from Admiral Cervera deliberately entering the harbor under the circumstances, Secretary Long said the purposes of the Spanish could be only conjectured, but that it might be they went into Santiego for coaling. While refraining from dis cussing specifically the matter of rein forcements and the dispatch of Ad- miral Sampson's fleet, now asserted to be in the neighborhood of Havana, to Santiago, Secretary Long had no hesi- tation in saying Commodore Schley could have whatever aid he wanted.
