The San Francisco call., 1898-05-20

Rear-Admiral Sampson, I under stand, has been given authority to en- ploy divers to clean the bottoms of the men-of-war which were with him be- fore San Juan, Porto Rico. and he deems the opportunity a good one. If it proves true that the Spanish fleet is at Santiago de Cuba, he will, doubt less, defer this action. The hulls of these vessels are reported to be very foul, notwithstanding the cleaning by divers which they sustained three months ago. Of two-fold importance is such action. By removing the ma rine growth from the hulls of his ships their speed will be increased by one or. two knots at least, which will permit an improvement in the squadron's speed. In the second place the amount of energy that will have to. be expended to drive the ships through the water will not be so great when the barnacles
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-20

If the fleet arrived to-day at Santiago de Cuba no doubt exists in the minds of naval experts that it coaled off the coast of Venezuela from the colliers sent there by the Spanish Government.
 As the Herald stated some days ago it was the belief of some of the naval officers that Cervera remained at Curacoa until he learned de- flnitely the position of the colliers. Receiving this in formation on Sunday he sailed at 6 o'clock that even ing for the point where they lay. Five days have elapsed since that time. Two days at least were undoubtedly spent in coaling, and the re- maining three in cruising.
 The distance from the coast of Venezuela to Santiago de Cuba is Goo miles and two days at least must have been occupied by the enemy's men-of-war in making the Cuban port.
