At SchleY,k Mercy.


Key West, Fla, May 31.-Every body
knows now that Spain's flying squad
ron, four splendid cruisers and two tor
pedo boat destroyers, is imprisoned in
Santiago harbor. This fact has been
known here many hours, and the specu-
lation now is over the probably DISPOSE
ton Of the Spaniards-whether they
will be blockaded or the forts reduced
and the vessels compelled to fight. In
the latter case there can be but one re-
suit. for Commodore Schley has some of
the finest ships in the world. to say
nothing of cruisers and various smaller
vessels, and could in a few days be rein.
forced by other powerful warships.
Battle Is Expected Soon.
It has been thought that the cam
paign against Cervera might now be
ended by demolishing the forts at the
entrance of the harbor of Santiago,
blockading the channel and isolating
she Spanish fleet until the other prob
lens of the war are worked out. This,
however, is not in the line with Amer
lean policy, and, simply accepting the
view of the situation taken by the naval
experts here, Admiral Cervera will have
to accept battle at once. tits confident
~ expected that a hard blow will be
struck within three or four days, and
that the result will be known to the
world at the expiration of that time.

time of the senate yesterday.
Washington, May 2s.-A bill provid-
ing for second assistant secretary of

stitutional.

Dental proclamation as an ann ual me-

complaint. has been made by the vet
Grams, who regard the Gay with sacred
veneration, that Decoration day is fast
losing its original significance. and
that, instead of being devoted wholly
to its original purposes, it is each year
being given over more generally to BIZ
cycle races, regattas and other sport
ing events. Whatever foundation there
may have been for this complaint, the
patriotic observances in progress Mon
day from ocean to ocean certainly tend
ed TO smooth the ruffied spirits of the

Cape Haytien, Hayti, June 1.-Advices
from Havana say that since two o'clock
Tuesday afternoon the American fleet
at Santiago de Cuba has been cannon
aiding the batteries of Moro Castle, La
Zacapa and Punta Carda. At the same
time, it is added, the American ships
have been engaged with the Spanish
warships. The firing was extremely
heavy. At 3:45 p. m. the cannonading
became less heavy against the fortifi-
cations, but was more accumulated in
the locality where the fleets were en-
gagged.

In his youth Mr.. Gladstone used to
think nothing of walking 80 miles a
day. In his old age he could fell the
stoutest trees in Hawarden park. An
accident from the explosion Of a gun
barrel over 40 years ago, by which he
lost the index finger of his left hand,
discouraged him from frequenting the
hunting field. To constant habits of
exercise and to a remarkably wiry con-
stitution are to be attributed the
statesman's long life and exceptionally
good health.

LANDED TROOPS IN CUBA.
Steamer Florida Returns to Key
West After Putting Several
Hundred Soldiers Ashore.
The MEN RECEIVE A HEARTY WELCOME.
Landing Place Il Kept a Secret, But
Probably Near SantiaEO-Much Joy
in Cuban Circles Over the Success
of the Expedition - Encouraging
News from Gen. Garcia.

Key West, Fla, June 1.-The steam
err Florida returned here at seven a. m.
Tuesday from Cuba, having successful
ly landed a most important expedition
on the island.
The war department absolutely for
bids correspondents telegraphing the
name of the landing place of Gen.
Lacret's expedition, which, it was IN
derstood was at point about Is miles
east of Havana. Later information
raises a strong presumption that the
landing was effected, as originally
planned, not far from Guantanamo,
province of Santiago de Cuba.
The expedition was landed on the
coast of Cuba on Thursday, May 26.
A Triumphal Invasion.
When the Florida, escorted by the o.
ceola, drew up to the shore at the place
to see if all was clear. These scouts
were greeted by Gems. Ferie and Rojas,
with some 1900 armed insurgents. Con-
sequently, far from there being any hos
tile demonstration upon the part of the
Spaniards, the landing of the expedi-
ton was in the nature of triumphal
invasion. The Cubans who were wait
ing for the party had brass band and
welcomed the newcomers with national
airs.
The returning members of the Florida
party brought with them several hun
dred private letters. which, it is under
stood, give complete insight into the
present conditions prevailing in the
blockaded island.
The work of unloading the cargo of
the Florida was promptly begun and
carried on by the 432 men composing
the expedition. There was nothing in
the nature of interruption and the work
was finished Friday.
Causes Much Joy.
Key West, Fla, June 1.-The success
full landing of the Florida expedition
has caused much joy in Cuban circles
here. The Cubans say their armies will
now make forward movements. The
Florida probably carried more supplies
than all the flibustering expeditions
put together.
From Garcia's Army.
Key West, Fla, June 1.-Couriers
from Cuba Tuesday brought highly en-
couraging reports from Gen. Calixto
Garcia's army. Garcia alone, it is said.
has 10000 men, better equipped than
ever before, except in the matter of
clothing, and they are in excellent spir-
its. Five thousand men, it is added, &C.
cupy territory along the northern coast
near Maniti. The Spanish troops have
withdrawn to Santiago, Holquin and
Manzanillo, and Gen. Garcia still holds
his headquarters at Bayamo: Gen.
Mario Menocal has been obliged to
abandon his contemplated attack on
Holquin, province of San tiago de Cuba.
Gen. Lugue, of the Spanish army, hav-
ing thrown 10000 men into the city and
strongly fortified neighboring hills.
Gen. Menocal has been asked to proceed
to Havana province and take command
there. The Cuban military leaders have
been discussing the summer campaign.
They believe 5000 or 5000 men can well
be spared from Santiago province
where the Spaniards are entirely on the
defensive, and sent to the western part
of the island.
