The info rmation was cabled from Mole St. Nicholas, Ha yti, and was taken there direct from Santiago by the scouting vessel St. Paul.
 Gable messages were sent to Admiral Sampson at Key West tonight advisin him of the grati- flying intelligence conveyed by Commodore Schley's message. This was done in order to prepare him for the important work which will now devolve upon his squad ron in cooperation with the army in laying siege to Havana. Com plete and definite arrangements will be decided upon by the Presi- dent after cons ultation with the war board and members of his cabinet tomorrow morning.
 Admiral Sampson is holding large fleet off Havana ready to clear a landing for the troops as soon as the War Department gives the signal. All the transports neceSSarV for the move menf of the largest force that may be sent are now at Gulf ports, and the Gov ernment is paying S25,ooo day for their services until their work is finished. They will be used at the earliest possible opportunity, which it is believed will be as soon as Schley solves the mystery of Santiago harbor.

come to the conclusion that the United States will be required to take and to hold the Philippines at least until treaty of peace is signed. That is as far as he cares to go in outlining his policy at this time. And in following such policy he appreciates that it is necessary to oppose any foreign inter vention looking to the wrestling of the islands away from American domin- ion. It can be regarded as absolutely certain that this Government would earnestly protest against any Govern ment of Europe entering into negotia- tons with Spain for the transfer of the Philippines. In this protest the Ameri- can administration believes that it would be joined by Great Britain.
 That Russia and Great Britain both believe the far east will be the scene of great naval struggle in the near future naval officers believe from preparations both are making to put their forces in the Pacific in the best possible condition.
 If the Cramps establish a ship build ing yard at Port Arthur as they con- template doing, it is appreciated that it will be under Russian control and will give the Czar's Government a construc- tion and repair station of great im- portance in the event of war
 Great Britain has been buying up all the steamer coal available in the west, and been storing it at Esquimalt. and now the latest report is that Russia contemplates placing contracts for ships with the Union Iron Works Off, cials ascribe the placing of contracts with this firm and with the Cramps to the desire of Russia to show her friend ly feelings for this Government and it's citizens and to prevent by such a dis play the development of the warm relations existing between the United States and Great Britain. One of sev- eral of Russia's immediate objects in this move is to necessitate. if possible, the consideration of her position in re- lation to the United States in case an alliance is proposed

| Cotton, commanding the auxiliary
 cruiser Harvard. Commodore Schey did not communicate with the depart ment to-day. but 1t is understood to- night that he will inform Washington whether or not he has satisfied himself l that Cervera is in the harbor and what steps he has taken to prevent his de- | parture.
 | The fact that the Secretary and his official advisers stick so pertinaciously to the belief that Admiral Cervera has remained at Santiago de Cuba illus trates the confidence they have in their source of information. Their ~onfi- | dence may also be due to messages re- ceived from Consuls stationed along the Isthmian coast and among the West Indies, some of which reached the department to-day, that the Span ish fleet had not been sighted in the neighborhood of their ports. While this information Is perhaps negative in character, the officials say that it indi- cates that Admiral Cervera has not been cruising in the Caribbean Sea for week at least; otherwise the Consuls or scouts would most certainly have picked him up and have reported con- firmation to the department. It is known that the Spanish fleet put into Santiago ten days ago to make repairs and take on board coal of which they stood in great need, according to reli- able information furnished by Consul Smith, stationed at Curacoa, and state ments made by Captain R. B. Osbon in an interview published by the Herald this morning
 The department has been advised that the reason why he failed to sail at an earlier date was that he sighted ships in the offing which he took to be American armorclads. but which were in reality scouting ships. Commodore Schley arrived off the coast of Santiago on Wednesday. he having remained at Cienfuegos until Tuesday night.
 It developed to-day that the cause of Commodore Schley's failure to earlier sail for Santiago was his confidence that the Spanish fleet was lying at an- chor in the harbor of Cienfuegos. In fact, in an official dispatch to the de-

| commodore states that he has seen and recognized the vessels of the Spanish feet
 While the navy officials have been morally certain for several days that Cervera's squadron was in the harbor of Santiago, the official announcement from Commodore Schley was received by the officers on duty at the depart ment with intense satisfaction. Assur- ance is now doubly sure that the Span ish fleet is bottled up and that the cork is in the bottle.
 It is not believed that Admiral Ger vera will attempt to escape from the predicament in which he now finds himself, as such course would surely result 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 the ships rather than have them fall into the hands of Schley as they cer- tainly will if they remain in the harbor.
 The definiteness of Commodore Schley's dispatch would indicate that he has effected landing near San tiago and made a personal investigation of the harbor. It would be impossible from the entrance to the bay definitely to see and recognize the Spanish yes sels, 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 trust ed officials has succeeded in performing this hazardous undertaking in order to obtain the valuable information con- tained in his dispatch.
 It is impossible owing to the lateness of the hour, to obtain any official ex- pression upon the news from Commo- dore Schley. What effect the certainty that Cervera is practically helpless will have upon the plans of the naval sta ton with refere to the invasion of Cuba can only be conjectured The transportation of land forces to the island, 1t Is understood was delayed be- cause of the uncertainty concerning the location of the Spanish squadron.

It is conceded In all quarters here thatit would be sharp diplomatic trick for the Madrid Government to attain the support of another power in return for such cession.
 It was pointed out to-day that Spain is still proprietor of the Philippines, for Rear Admiral Dewey, representing the American Government only has con- trol of Cavite and Manila Bay. and in- ternational law declares that in con- quest of country. sovereignty only eN- tends as far as the conquest extends, and conquest gives the invading enemy dominion as long as he retains his mil itary possession. Furthermore, the holding of conquered territory is re- garded in the eyes of international law as merely military occupation until It's fate shall be determined by treaty of peace.
 The effect of a transfer of the Philippine Islands to France would make that Government an ally of Spain, and is what the latter desires. Russia would prefer that France get the islands rather than the United States for the reason that the policy of this Government would throw American and British interests in the same channel, undoubtedly resulting in an alliance of the two govern ments in such interests.
 Jealous of American trade, Germany would prefer; as dispatches .his morn ing indicate, that the Philippines be governed by several powers of Europe, and that they never pass under the sovereignty of the United States or France. It is no secret now that Pres ident Mckinley desired to escape from these prospective complications. Had he been guided solely by his own wishes. I understand, that he would have instructed Rear Admiral Dewey to withdraw from thes Philippines as soon as he had destroyed the Span ish memo -of-war. The sentiment of the country. however, required the con quest of the islands. and the pressure was so strong that the President was unable to resist it.
 Now that troops have been ordered to the far East and that Rear Admiral Dewey has retained possession of Ca vite and Manila Raw thA President h.a

The St. Paul has been watching Santiago for eight days. Sigsbee thinks that two Spanish torpedo boats ventured out of the harbor Saturday night to attack the St. Paul, but, anticipating such a move, he changed his position every night in order that they could not locate him. To-day Commodore Schley took up posi- ton with his entire squadron to prevent the escape of Cervera. He hopes the donS will come out and fight. The opposing fleets are about of equal strength.
 The Herald-Call tug passed Sampson's fleet of eighteen yes seIs fifteen miles east of Cardenas Friday at } o'clock in the after noon, headed west. It is probable that Admiral Cervera will remain inside and postpone an engagement indefinitely, but the blockade will be effectively maintained.
 NEW YORK, May 2o. o.-The Herald's Washington correspon- dent says: Spain's fleet is definitely located and securely locked inside the Santiago harbor. This is now an official fact. In ad- dition to the Herald's cable from Mole St. Nicholas, Hayti, giving this gratifying information, l am authorized by the Navy Depart ment to state that Commodore Schley has reported to the Secre- tary of the Navy stating definitely that he has personally observed Cervera's fleet in the harbor.

friends and acquaintance by max
ing out a list of 400 of them, who
