Letter 1t Wrote to Christina Gets 1t into

Philadelphia, May 2s.-At the next
meeting of the city council of Philadel-
phia a resolution will be introduced in
both branches demanding that the Phil
adelphia branch of the Universal Peace
Union vacate the quarters now occupied
by it In Independence hall. This action
is the outcome of letter recently writ
ten by President Love. of the Peace
Union. to Senor Sagasta and the queen
regent of Spain, asking that the Span
ish government make further conces-
sions to the United States in order that
the present war might be brought to a
speedy termination, and also expressing
the opinion that the sentiment of the
people in the United States was against
war.
The resolution which will be intro
duced by George w. Edwards demands
that the Peace Union vacate Independ-
ence hall forthwith for the 'unpatriotic,
un-American and disgraceful express
sions of opinion especially emanating
from and under the heading Independ-
ence hail. the Cradle of American lib
erty'" The union was given permis-
sion to use a room in Independence hall
by the ordinance passed by councils and
approved by Mayor Warwick in 1895.

W navy department is momentar-

Schley. as to the exact location of the
Spanish fleet, which he has bottled in
Havana harbor. An attack may al
ready have been made.
Fleet Is surely Bottled.
Key West, May 2S. --[Copyright by
Associated Press 1t is now almost
certain that Schley has the Spanish
fleet bottled up in the harbor at San
tiago de Cuba. There is so little doubt
about this that thc naval campaign
is proceeding upon the assumption
that Cervera is incapable of doing
harm, and within few days the exact
condition at Santiago de Cuba will be
known without shadow of doubt.
Before this dispatch is published it is
likely Schley will have sent some ves-
sci into the entrance ofsthe harbOr at
Santiago de Cuba, or obtained from
reliable source ashore the informa-
tion as to the exact number and
names of the Spanish warships shell
tered by the hills about that port.
Contrary to the generally expressed
opinion the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba is poorly protected. Like Ha-
vana and San Juan de Porto Rico. it
has its Morro.c o.castle which is even q
better target than those of Havana
and San Juan. The only danger to
fear is from mines which have been
laid in the. channel of Santiago since
war was declared, but countermining
would probably render these mines
harmless, should it prove desirable
for Schley's ships to enter the harbor.
Such a step. however. is unlikely.
