MUST HAVE MADE A LANDING

| WASHINGTON, May 3l-At 1880
| o'clock the navy department received a
| dispatch from Commodore Schley an.
nouncing definitely that he had located
Admiral Cervera's Cape Verde squad
ron in the bay of Santiago de Cuba.
The commodore states that he has seen
and recognized the vessels of the Span
ish feet.
While the naval officials have been
morally certain for several days that
Cervera's squadron was in the harbor
of Santiago the official announcement
from Comm odore Schley was received
by the officers on duty at the depart
ment with intense satisfaction. Assur-
ance is now doubly sure that the
Spanish Fleet Is Bottled Up,
and that the cork is in the bottle. It
is not believed that Admiral Cervera
will attempt to escape from the pre-
dicament in which he now finds him.
self, as such a course would surely re-
suit in the destruction of his vessels
and the loss of many lives precious to
Spain. The suggestion is made, how
ever, that the Spaniards may blow up
their ships rather than have them fall
into the hands Of Schley, as they GER
tainly will if they remain in the har-
Dor.
The defniteness of Commodore
Schley's dispatch would indicate that
he has effected landing near Santi-
ago and made personal inv estigation
of the harbor. It would be impossible
from the entrance to the bay to def.
nitely see and recognize the Spanish
vessels but by effecting a landing at
some point on
Either Side of the Entrance
a vantage point could be gained very
likely from which the entire harbor
could be examined. In all probability
Commodore Schley or one of his trusted
officers has successfully perfor med this
undertaking in order to obtain the val.
liable information contained in his dis.
patch.
What effect the certainty that Cer-
vera is practically helpless will have
upon the plans Of the administration
with reference to the invasion of Cuba
can only be conjectured. The trans
portation of land forces to the island,
it is understood, was delayed because
of the uncertainty concerning the loca.
ton of the Spanish squadron. If that
understanding is correct the probability
of an early invasion of Cuba is strong.

LONDON PRESS VIEWS.
Brave Men on Both Sides Recognized
The Graphic's Fling.


LONDON, July 4-The Times. this morn
ing. discussing the fighting at Ell Caney,
says: Both sides have shown courage of
a very high order and it is hard to say
whether the splendid dash and bravery of
the American advance in the teeth of a
CALLING fire or the stubborn tenacity of the
Spanish defense is the more admirable.
Both sides have learned to appreciate the
splendid military qualities of their adver-
saries. 1t is a pity that enemies who show
themselves such worthy foemen in the field
cannot see their way to save bloodshed by
coming Immediately to an arrangement on
the inevitable basis.
The Spaniards have amply indicated
their honor. and, if they were wise, they
would now prove their common sense by
oHering to their opponents terms which, if
they were reasonable. would almost GER
tainly be discussed in a generous spirit"
The Daily Graphic, in its editorial, OBJ
serves: THE signal gallantry and devotion
displayed by both Spaniards and Americans
must be recognized. The behavior of the
Americans sends a thrill of pride through
out the Anglo-Saxon world. The story of
the Splendld manner in which the Rough
Riders carried San Juan is instinct with the
lndomitable spirit of Balaklava.'
The Daily Graphic says, however, that
the blunder lies deeper than any mere
Americans cast their net too widely, as it
might nave been better to have left San
uago and Manila alone and to have concen-
trated their efforts on Havana"
The editorials in the Daily Graphic and
Times fairly represent the opinions of the
London newspapers. There is no word of
General Skaters bravery; yet all remark
that America finds Santiago tougher task
than she anticipated. Spain, it is suggested
terms. but it is not thought she is likely to
do so.
The Standard says: ION the whole while
we cannot express too highly our family
pride in the gallant bearing of the American
troops, 1t appears to us that the prospect
before the United States is. one sufficiently
ominious to make this a moment when
wise approach on the part of Spain towards
peace on reasonable terms ought to be re-
ceived with much alacrity by President Nc
Kinley. Why wait till suffering has hard
ened the hearts of the Americans and.
strengthened the nations resolve"

Hot Battle in ManzaniIlO Bay by
Three Auxiliary GunbOats.

NEW YORK, July 3.-The Herald has the
following from a correspondent off Santiago
with SIMPSONS fleet July 2: Three vessels
of Admiral SIMPSONS fleet have just re-
turned from adventurous expedition to
Manzanillo, where they sunk one Spanish
gunboat, one sloop and one pontoon, dis
abled a Spanish torpedo boat and consider
ably damaged several of the enemy's gun

other, the Hornet, was disabled by a shell

towed out of danger by the Wampatuck
Admiral Sampson sent the Hist and Hornet
and the Wampatuck to Manzanillo to de-
stroy four Spanish gunboats which the adj
miraI had been informed were lying in that
harbor.
Instead Of finding only that array Of Tight
ing craft, the American vessels encountered
in crescent formation nine vessels, in
GLIDING a torpedo boat and q cruiser.
They also found themselves fanked by land
batteries and armed pontoons. while heavy
battery of field artillery was in position on
the water front to aid in making warm the

Invention.
Very little is known by the general public
about quicksand, and that little is usually
obtained from novels Such Information Is
usually wrong, being composed of a pinch
OF truth and a handful of fiction. The sem
sational novel goes even so far as to give
to quicksand some attributes that belong
only to living creatures. No ordinary OBJ
server could distinguish quicksand from
any other If Ii We're tried; and If he wished
to restore its fatal property artificially he
would in all probability fail. Suppose he
fills a bucket with water; ii does not in
consequence become mobile. If he drains
the water off from the bottom the sand will
be found wedged firmly in place, and IL the
water be measured ii will be found to equal
30 per cent. of the bulk of the sand or
about 20 per cent. of its weight. From this
we may infer that cubic foot of dry sand
weighs nearly ninety-four pounds.
This, for sand. Is very light weight, for
there are other qualities of sand which
weigh as much as III pounds. Quicksand,
when examined under a microscope, will be
seen to have rounded corners like river
sand. as distinguished from angular or
sharp sand, which will pack more solidly
that the other. 1t Is quicksand that Is used
in the hour-glass and in the smaller egg
boilers partly because of its fineness and
partly because II does not obscure the inner
surface of the glass by scratching. The
lightness of Quicksand Is the quality which
