commanders and had this been received
II would have been made public at once.
But lacking this, the department gave
to the public all II felt warranted in
giving from the facts, namely, an ex-
preston of belief that the Spanish fleet
was in Santiago harbor. This has been
reinforced by the negative fact that the
feet has been seen at no other point,
and also cumulative evidence from
London and elsewhere. Still, the word
from Sampson and Schley is being most
anxiously awaited.
An Impossible Maneuver.
Naval officers are now turning their
attention to inquiries whether 1t is pos
aible for Admiral Cervera to get out Of
Santiago harbor. They hold that this
maneuver is impossible and that being
30. the career of the Spanish admiral is
at an end, so far as it constitutes a
menace against our ships. The British
comment that Admiral Horribly in 1886
escaped with his entire fleet from a
harbor under similar conditions, and
that Admiral Cervera should be able to
make his escape when he gets ready
20 do so is not accepted. The naval view
here is just the contrary. 1t is pointed
out that Admiral Horribly escaped from
an open bay, while Admiral Cervera
must come through narrow channel,
about 300 yards wide, on which the
American searchights will play con-
stantly. II is said that this is not mere
spinion but that naval maneuvers were
carried on at Key West and Tortugas
o few months ago, which furnished a
positive demonstration that Admiral
Cervera cannot make an exit without
being discovered.
Were Quickly Discovered.
An officer who was on board one Of
the American ships during the Tortu-
Gas movements says sham night at
tack of torpedo boats was made upon
the big battleships and cruisers. The
latter were given no notice Of the pro-
tected attack, and there was no extra
suaard such as the American ships now
maintain. But every torpedo boat en-
gagged in the attack was discovered long
before 1t was within striking distance
Of the cruisers and battleships. One
OF the attacking torpedo boats was so
bewildered by the searchlights that Il
nearly ran into a cruiser. The lesson
drawn from this attack was that a
night sally by an enemy was impossi-
BILE. owing to the modern methods of
discovering an approach. 1t had shown
also that the attacking fleet could not
get within range. although they had
come within the range of the guns OF

maneuvers at Tortugas and Key West
practically represent the situation be-
fore Santiago If Cervera sent out his
torpedo boats as scouts they would be
detected before they had done any
damage and destroyed by the small
gunhnats

The Oregon and the Marietta arrived

Washington, May 26.-The naval au-
thorities have advanced another stage
IN their calculations on the status Of
Admiral Cervera's fleet at Santiago de
Cuba They not only have good rea-
son to believe that he is bottled up, but
as an officer expressed it, "the cork is
In the bottle" and it is practically inn
possible for the fleet to make an exit
from the harbor by day or night. 1t is
telt that this condition of the Spanish
deet is not only important from the
present strategic standpoint, but OF mo-
mentous concern to the entire future Of
the war, as the Gripping of this most
effective naval force that Spain pos
sesses will leave her such scant naval
resources as to make prolongation of
the war impossible. That Admiral Ger
vera went to Santiago and is still there
continues to be the view taken by the
navy department. At the same time it
can now be stated that not a word has
been received from either Admiral
Sampson or Commodore Schley in Off

neutrality by five countries, Russia,

event that the declaration Of neutrality
were withheld.

referred to in the proclamation, under

is thought that there is no occasion for
hurrying in this matter until the full

One Hundred and Twelve Thousand Men
Have Been Mustered In.
Washington, May 25.-One hundred
and twelve thousand men have now
been mustered into the volunteer army
of the United States and the official re-
ports show that the greater number
of these are ready to move to the front.
Over two-thirds of the states have en-
tirely completed their musters and
should the emergency arise are pre-
pared to begin anew the work just COM
pleted. The failure of some of the
states, notably four or five in the south,
to furnish the men called for up to this
time, is a surprise to the army officers
on duty here, but is ascribed not to
lack of patriotism, but to belief prob
ably shared by many of the national
guardsmen who had home ties and bus
mess connections which they could not
well afford to give UP that plenty of
other persons not so encountered would
readily be found to take their places.
Ample time will be given the states
referred to to fill the apportionment
made by the war department and the
expectation here is this will be accom-
plished without further unnecessary de-
lay. Should any of the states default
the probability is that the fact will be
reported to congress formally by the
secretary Of war for such action as
may be deemed best under the circum-
stances. No resort can be had to draft
measures without explicit authority
therefor from the national legislature.

Little Trick That Is Worked In
Baxter Street.
"There was time and that not so

store in Baxter street was fence, or
pretended to be, in order to give custom
ers tho idea that they were getting good
bargains. The clerk who took a hesitat.
ing customer aside and whispered
fence was generally sure of a sale
There are no genuine fences in Baxter
street now, becau SO clothing, shoes and
hats are so cheap, but some OF the stores
still pretend to sell stolen goods.
"When a customer in one of these
stores has looked every thing over in the
shop and hasn't made purchase. the
salesman tells him that lie has little
fence down stairs and urges upon him
the necessity of keeping it quiet on ao-
count of the police. OF course the GUS
toner won't say word. So down stairs
they go to the alleged fence, which gen.
orally proves to be big trunk packed
with goods.
while showing the contents of the
trunk the salesman keeps up a running
yarn about the famous criminals who
brought the goods to the store.
Finally, after showing a lot Of stuff
OF the same quality and pattern tie
customer refused to buy up stairs. the
salesman gets him to try ON something.
and as quality, workmanship and per-
feet fit always go with fence goods
there is sale made. This fake fence
answers sale purposes as we'll as the
