WASHINGTON, May 30.-At 1890 o'clock
this (Monday) morning the Navy Depart
ment received dispatch from Commodore
Schley announcing definitely that he had
located Admiral Cerveras Cape Verde
squadron in the bay of Santiago de Cuba
The commodore states that he has seen and
recognized the vessels OF the Spanish fleet
While naval 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 department with intense satisfaction.
Assurance is now doubly sure that the
Spanish fleet is bottled up and that the cork
is in the bottle.
1t is not believed that Admiral Cervera
will attempt to escape from the predicament
in which he now finds himself, as such a
course would surely result in the destruc-
ton of his vessels and the loss of many
lives preciouxsto Spain. The suggestion is
made. however, that the Spaniard may blow
up his ships rather than have them fall into
the hands of Schley. as they certainly will
II they remain in the harbor.
The definiteness of Commodore Schley's
dispatch would Indicate that he has effected
a landing near Santiago and made a per-
sonal investigation of the harbor 1t would
be impossible from the entrance to the bay
definitely TO see and recognize the Spanish
vessels, but by eftecting g. landing at some
point on either side Of the entrance van
tage point could be gained very likely from
which the entire harbor could be examined.
In all probability Commodore Schley or one
of his trusted officers has successfully per-
formed this hazardous undertaking in order
to obtain the valuable information contained
in his dispatch.
1t is impossible, owing to the lateness Of
the hour, to obtain any official expression
upon the news from Commodore Schley.
What effect the certainty that Cervera is
practically helpless will have upon the plans
OF the administration with reference to the
invasion Of Cuba can only be conjectured.
The transportation OF land forces to the
islands. 1t is understood. was delayed be-
cause of the uncertainty concerning the
location OF the Spanish squadron. If that
understanding is correct the probability of
an early invasion of Cuba is strong. 1t is
not unlikely that the movement of troops,
which has been delayed from time to time,
will begin this week, and that before the
end of the week the United States forces
will have obtained substantial foothold
upon Cuban soil.

GEN. KITcHNER,s BULLET

The Sirdar Of the Egyptian army,
says the Newcastle (Eng.) Chronicle,
once had very extraordinary exper-
ence. having swallowed a bullet with
which he now preserves as a memento.
During the campaign Of 1883 Maj.
Kitchener was hit III the side of the
face by bullet during a skirmish near
Suakim. and was taken down the Nile
and thence to the Citadel hospital. at
Cairo, where despite all the efforts of
the surgeons. the bullet could not be
located. The wound was a healthy one
and soon healed. and the medical Of
f1cers came to the conclusion that the
bullet had worked its way out without
being noticed. on the passage down the
Nile. The majors nurse one day
tempted the PATIENTS appetite with a
tasty beafsteak. which the major had
no sooner attacked than he put his
hand to his throat, eXclaiming: 'I'l-
ton, if there was no bone in the steak
I've swallowed that bullet. I felt it
go down." This proved to be the case
