In all likelihood Commodore Schley

Rear Admiral Sampson probably has

of extreme suspense. After Admiral

any event Admiral Cervera, it is be-

powerful fleets, each having fast YES

Consul Hyatt Says Our Warships Could
Reduce Santiago's Forts.
Boston, May 26.-Dr. p. f. Hyatt.
United States consul at Santiago de
Cuba, arrived here yesterday from
Port Antonio, Jamaica, to which place
he removed from Santiago just pre-
vious to the declaration of war with
Spain. DR.. Hyatt states that when
he left Cuba, on April 6, things were
in bad condition, and there was much
feeling over his action in turning over
American interests to the British
consul. DR.. Hyatt says that the har-
Dor of Santiago is mined, especially at
it's mouth. and the entrance is tor
tuous. Little can be seen from the
outside, so winding is the entrance.
"If the Spanish fleet is really within
the harbor," he said, cit is bottled up
and as good as demolished. The guns
for the most part are not of the latest
pattern although there are some tip
top ones. But the American squad
ron could easily silence them all. The
Cuban government quarters are within
40 miles of Santiago, near Bayamo.
When l left Santiago" continued
DR.. Hyatt, things were in pretty bad
condition. Up to that time Governor
Capriles, of the Santiago district, did
not apprehend any such thing as war,
nor in fact did l.
II was the last American consul to
leave Cuban soil. With me also came
80 other Americans. ! turned every
thing over to the care of the British
consul Frederick Ramsden, including
about $50 tons of provisions for the
reconcentrados for distribution. This
was the cause of much trouble. The
Spaniards did not seem to care so
much when these supplies were dis
tributed by the American consul, but
quite a bad feeling was displayed
when it was learned the British consul
was to continue the work of relief"
