animated the navy department in
making this new order. 1t is an
nounced that the commander of the
new squadron has not yet been Sc

to send to Key West are said to be
well fitted for the service. Owing to
their light draft of from Is to 16 feet
they will be able to navigate safely
the shallow waters of the Florida
coast, and will not be obliged like the
Iowa to lie six miles out at sea from
Key West to secure enough water
under her keel

AT SANTIAGO DE CUBA.
Cervera and His Fleet Were Known To BE
There Sunday.


Key West. Fla May 25.-Unless all
signs fail news of a great sea battle
ought to be received inside Of sixty
hours and perhaps sooner, 1t is learned
on the best of authority that the Span
ish fleet was certainly at Santiago as
late as SUNDAY. 1t is known that Ger
vera's fleet is under positive orders to
land a large quantity of arms and am
munition for Blanco, hence his circuit
Gus route to Cuba and his desire to
avoid battle.
Considerable surprise is expressed
that he selected Santiago as port OF
entry. as it is surrounded by insurgents,
who practically control the whole prov
ince. His ships are in great danger Oh
meeting the fate of the Maine while at
Santiago. 1t was expected he would
choose Cienfuegos. which has direct
railroad connections with Havana, but
Il is too late now for him to attempt
TO reach that port as he would be run
ming into the very mouths OF some Oh
the biggest American guns. The ore
gon. IL is now said, will have a chance
at the enemy.
II the Spanish ships are caught al
Santiago or Cienfuegos and attempt &c
escape the Americans will make a TAR
get of the leading ships and in that
Uay sink them as quickly as they POKE
their noses seaward.
