| NO Omclal Report
| WASHINGTON, June 1.-The navy de-
partment has not heard from Commodore
| Schley up to noon today concerning his re-
ported engagement at Santiago yesterday
| and the officials continued to treat with
| skepticism the accounts coming from Hayti
| as to the extent of the action. At the same

While the Haytien advices contain num-

however that the delays incident to cipher
cabling might delay the receipt of such
dispatches until or o'clock this afternoon
The officials state that some Of the state

| inaccuracies were, but 1t is probable that
| some of the ships said to have taken part
in the action could not have been at San
tiago. The department Is accurately ad-
vised as to the movements OF the ships, ana
while this information Is not published,
| the officials are always able to tell where
the fleets or individual ships are at any
time.
Still, about the only real basis the de-
partment has for questioning the general
serious engagement is the fact that it was
