lecial DISPATCH to TIE Sun.

Special Dispatch to THE sun.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-The situation
in regard to the Spanish fleet is perhaps
best described by Secretary Longs re-
mark as he left the Cabinet meeting this
afternoon, when he said its location was
as mythical as ever.
The Secretary has absolutely no official
dispatches or information to give the
Cabinet in regard to Admiral Cervera's
fleet, except the press news, which was
published this morning and what little
came today. The Secretary was frank
enough to state that he would not tell
where the American fleet was, whether
at Key West, in front of Havana, or on
the way to meet the Spanish fleet.
He told the Cabinet, however, the
plans OF the War Board, and the move
ment not only OF the fleet, but Of the
army, was the subject Of discussion at
the meeting today.
Each and every member OF the Cab
met, when he left the White House, de-
clared that he could not talk as to the re-
suit of the meeting, nor could he say
anything in regard to the fleet. Secretary
Long, however, said there may be a
battle in day or two, and then again
we may not meet the Spanish fleet.

|MAjOR GENERAL FTTZHUGH LEE LEAVES FOR TAMPA

fleet is making a move towards Charles
ton, s. U.
Ii this report is true it is believed that
the movement is merely feint with the
design of drawing the American fleets
away from Cuban waters, and that when
Admiral Cervera is satisfied that he has
been successful in this, the fleet will be
turned back and an attempt be made to
break through the blockade into Havana
harbor.
On this theory it is suggested that the
report that the Spanish feet is at
Santiago de Cuba is designed to draw
the Sampson fleet, which has been
organized into Hving squadron, off to
the south coast OF Cuba, where it will be
out of communication with the Depart
ment, rnd that as soon as this report has
had time to have its effect, a report will
come from somewhere off the Bahamas
that the Spanish fleet is in that quarter.
If this device succeeds in drawing the
5chley fleet to the defence OF our coast,
the Spanish feet will then make a dash
for Havana. Some good authorities are
thoroughly convinced that Admiral Ger
vera's fleet not being strong enough to
give battle in the open, and not daring
to return to Spain without striking a
blow. designs to get into the Havana
harbor and to lie behind the fortiica-
tions on the defensive without attempt
ing any aggressive move whatever be-
yond joining in the defence of Havana.
Little doubt is felt that the sole object
OF the fleet is to get into Havana harbor,
which would be its safest position while
relieving and strengthening Blanco's
forces.

KEY WEST, May 2O.-Dispatch boats
from the blockading fleet off Havana ar
rived here this morning. They report
that signal light on Moro Castle was
kept burning all night.
The naval officers here have received
news that the Spanish fleet is off the
south coast Of Cuba, and is sup
posed to be making for the port OF Cien-
fuegos, which is connected by rail with
Havana. .
1t is expected here that a big naval
battle will be fought very soon some
where along the south coast Of Cuba,
probably near Cienfuegos or Santiago de
Cuba. The dispatch boats report that
the German warship Geier is still in
Havana Harbor. The Geier led the gun
boats Mayhower and Morrill, long
chase on Wednesday before she showed
her colors. She was then on her way to
Havana.
Additional shore batteries have been
constructed near Havana by the Span.
iards and the deiences Of the city
strengthened during the past three
weeks.
News of the actual movements OF the
vessels under the command of Admiral
Sampson and Commodore Schley cannot
be teegraphed from here.

New York, May 20-A special to the
Evening Telegram from Kingston, ia
mica says:
News has reached here from an appar-
entl ly reliable source that two American
warships cleverly evaded the Spanish
fleet under Admiral Cervera, which has
reached Santiago de Cuba.
The Spanish fleet was seen by the
steamer Adula, which reached here yes
terday from Santiago de Cuba. At that
time the squadron was apparently max
ing all speed for the Cuban port. While
the AduIa was still in the harbor two
American warships appeared, but were
so far away that their names could not
be made out. They drew the fire of the
batteries at tie entrance to the harbDr.
The firing continued for more than an
hour, but it is not known whether the
warships returned the fire of the Span
ish batteries 1t is believed, however,
that these two vessels are those which
escaped from the Spanish squadron
when it approached the entrance to the
harbor.
