Should higher value be placed upon

Speculation is still concentra on
the whereabouts of Admiral Cervera's
squadron, the general opinion favoring
some point on the southern coast Of
Cuba. AS both sides Of the island
are now patrolled by United States
warships the naval authorities will not
admit the possibility of Cervera's escape
without the most desperate conflict in
the history of naval warfare.
Reports from Admiral Sampson 8

northern coast of Cuba. Nothing from
Commodore Schley is expec ted for a
day or two.

BELIEVED HAVE LANDED

Transport Florida Sailed for Cuba With
Troops on May IS.
CHICAGO, May PA special to The
Record from Macon, Ga, says: Unless
some accident has befallen the United
States transport Florida there are now
United States volunteer troops on the
island of Cuba or they will be there
within a few hours. From accurate
information obtained here it can be
stated as fact that the first expedi-
ton toward Cuban soil has started and
the outlook is for a successful trip.
Wednesday, May Is, the United
States transport Florida left Port
Tampa with several hundred volun-
teer- troops on: board. The troops be-
longed to the regiment OF Cuban volun-
teers organized in the lower extremity
of Florida some weeks ago. It was
thought best to send these men, as they
speak Spanish and are more acquainted
with the topography Of the country
which it III proposed to invade, It
cannot be learned what United States
officers accompanied the regiment Of
volunteers. ~ - .5,..5 t>.Ssz e. S.=.

Aranguren, brother of the late Cuban
insurgent general, Nestor Aranguren,

Vera Cruz, dated May Z, stating that
General Blanco's orders impressing all
Cubans into the Spanish army has had
the effect of driving many into the in
surgent ranks. Il" -.s.'-. 's.<rs :
The restitution in Havana is fright
full and is increasing. The grocers. all
of whom are Spaniards, refuse to sell
food to the Cubans, as if determined to
starve them. The Cubans say the
Spaniards hate them more than they
do the Americans. ,.,.. IN -.>.,t .a...sf.

Cuba is lost; but that before yielding

. WASHINGTON, May 24.-"No truth in
the published statement concerning an
engagement off St. Nicholas Mole,
Hayti, in which ~ ships were sunk
This statement, short and concise,
coming as it did as the official utter.
ance Of the navy department., served to
completely destroy what little credence
the people may have placed in the
rumor from Cape Haytien that the
fleets of Admiral Sampson and Ce1vera
had met. - -
That the department should have
considered it necessary to make such a
denial shows the
Condition of Uncertainty
in which the public mind is left by the
strict censorship which is being main
tanned, which makes it possible for
baseless rumors to go uncontradicted
for hours or perhaps days.
While the officials of the department
emphatically state that there is mo
TRUTH in the report Of a battle, they
give no facts on which they base their
belief. Whet her they have received
direct information from the fleet, or
whether they rely upon their knowl-
edge of the location in which Admiral
Sampson would be in obedience to the
recent orders sent him, is left to con-
lecture.
1t is probable, however, that the lat
ter is the case, as it seems to be the
prevalent
Opinion Among Naval Experts
that both SIMPSONS and Schley's fleets
are engaged in hot chase after the
Spaniard, but were not at the time the
battle was supposed to have taken
place close enough upon him to make
such an occurrence possibility.
How long an engagement can be de-
layed is all a matter of conjecture.
That Admiral Cevera is doing his best
to evade the American fleets has been
apparent for several days. That, so
far as the public knows, he has been
successful in doing SO up to this time,
shows he is master Of that kind of
strategy, if not of the science of fight
