Secretary Long said II would start at
the earliest possible moment, but did
not care to give the day of departure.
The humiliation of the Spanish fleet
continues to be the absorbing topic
among naval officials, who are giving
most generous praise to Commodore
Schley for the notable manner in which
he directed tho fight when the imme-
diate command fell to his lot, 1t is
perhaps the greatest achievement In
the long line with which Commodore
Schley's name has been associated,
even including the relief of the Greedy
Arctic expedition and the command of
the baltimore at Valparaiso when war
was imminent as result OF the mob
attack on American blue jackets.

minority said destruction was sure, as
many Of the tiremen had mutinied and
the best men in the feet were worn
out by serving guns In the shore

the sortie careful observations were
taken of the sea, east and west. Adj

westward course with Manzanillo,
Cicnfdegos, or, If possible, Havana as
the port to be reached. He would have
gone east but for sighting the large
transport fleet of Siboney and the as.

was still with the transports. As a
