Providing the Spanish Admiral Does Not Get News
of Our Fleets Whereabouts and Escape
Out to Sea Again. We Can
- Bottle Him Completely ln
SPANISH NAVY IN A DEATH TRAP

London. May 21.-Admiral Cervera's
maneuver excites the keenest specula-
ton here. In some quarters the whole
story is regarded as ruse designed to
hurry up the Spanish government and
the spreading of it broadcast is sup
posed to hide some sinister move. The
bulk of opinion, however, regards the
news as authentic and Is inclined to the
belief that Admiral Cervera well knows
reinforcements are at hand, and that
otherwise he would not have risEed
being bottled up at Santiago.
The Daily News directs attention to
the great secrecy preserved about what
Is happening at the Canaries, where
The cables have been seized and censor
ship Is severe. 1t says: "The ques-
tion now arises whether the reserve
squadron from Cadiz is not already hall
way across the Atlantic. One thing
seems clear. The Spanish strateSists
have a prearranged plan Of operations,
while the Americans have been forced
by circumstances into defensive at
titude However, If Cervera Is in
Santiago de Cuba it ought not to be
difficult for Admiral Sampson to find
him. Thus it is possible there may be
q big fight within a few days.
admiral Cervera has given the slip
to two powerful fleets that have been
securing the ocean for fortnight in
an endeavor to catch him. All the
American schemes depend thereupon.
Admiral CeYsera, with four cruisers
and few destroyers, alone in the At
lantic, ignoring events in Cuba and in
Porto Rico and the position Of the
American squadron, has outnaneuver-
ed, dlsorganlzed and dispersed the lat
ter, making the Americans believe they
were threatened on every side.
1.-THE torpedo boats Azore, Rayo and
Artete steamed from the Cape Verde
Islands to the Canarles with the ut
most precaution, hugging the coast by
day and covering their lights by night.
The Arieto. slightly damaged, was
towed by the Ciudad de Cadiz, and the
transports carried the smaller boats of
the Vlzcava, the Almrante Oquendo,
the Cristobal Colon and the Infanta
Maria Teresa, probably in order that
these vessels might be cleared in view
Of possible battle"
The Daily Chronicle, on the other
hand, thinks Admiral Cervera has
walked into Il trap from which he cam
not escape, thanks partly to the i'm
beciity of the Spanish government in
publishing his dispatch, which Is sdoubt-
less done to avert domestic evils The
Daily Chronicle cOncludes
"As to hinted negotiations by Spain
with the powers, the best answer to
them would be an American victory
which we hope to record Monday or
Tuesday"
The Times says editorially: whether
publicity will assist the success of Ad-
miral Cerveras operations is ques-
tionable, but it has undoubtedly helped
the new ministers to make favorable
debut in the Cortas. Certainly the
situation has increased in interest"

Soon to join Gomez victorious band.
Onward to Havana We hear the cry,
Freedom for Cuba, or here we die;

But not one who forgets their country's

The true patriotism of the boys in blue

And Ger Mcrro Castle shall the emblem

That will proclaim to the world down

Ere many days arc past
We shall see 0 er Havana the fall Of ss"a-

To Rest in Westminster Abbey.

London, May 21.--It is now virtually
decided that Mr.. Gladstone's remains
shall be Inferred in Westminster Alb
bey. The family do not oppose the
nations desire, and the only direction
Mr.. Gladstone left was that he should
be buried at Hawarden unless there
should be an unmistakable national
wish for an interment at Westminster.
Mrs. Gadstone's only objection is the
natural wish to be buried in the same
grave devoted to her husband, and it
is rumored that arrangements are in
contemplation whereby this feeling
need not prove an insuperable obstacle
to burial in the Abbey

Mccoy Gets tho Decision Over Rubin

Syracuse, n. =, May 2l.-The fight
here last night between Kid Mccoy and
Gus Rubin, the latter of Cleveland, re-
suited in a victory for Mccoy after 20
rounds. There was little betting on the
result, and the showing made by RUN
lin was surprise. He stood a lot of
punishment, and was always ready to
come back for more. He was ap-
parently strong at the finish. Mccoy
says that he will now meet Goddard
and then Choynski. There was a great
difference in the weight of the men,
Mccoy, according to his statement,
weighing 157 pounds and Rubin, ac-
cording to Billy Madden. his manager,
tipping the scale at $50 pounds.
