enthusiasm. ALI the vessels in the port

night there was an imposing demon

"IF,, CERTERA rs At Bay.
Officials Have Not the Slightest Fear
That Help VIII Reach Him.


Washington, May 25.-If Cervera is
actually at bay the navy department
officials have not the slightest appre-
hension of relief coming to him from
the outside in the shape of another
Spanish squadron. The reason for this
belief is the unquestioned ability to
hold Cervera in check with only few
vessels, thus leaving the remainder of
the big armored fleet and great num-
ber of unarmored war craft to take
care of any reinforcemepts that might
attempt to come from Spain to Cerve-
ra's aid. The force that could be SPAR
ed for this service, without endangering
the effectiveness of the blockade at Ha-
vana or permitting the escape of Ger
vera, would be much larger than the
entire Spanish naval force now in
Spanish waters capable of crossing the
Atlantic.

On board the Associated Press Dis
"a (iled at Key West May 25).-The
blockade of the northern ports of Cuba
from Havana to Cardenas continues to
be rigidly enforced. To an outsider,
however, the pleasure and freedom
with which the American squadron
| cruises within sight and range of the
shore batteries seems to be a yachting
| trip rather than actual warfare The
stern grimness of the war-painted ves-
sells alone dispels the illusion of fleet
| ing pleasure craft out for a summer
! cruise.
| Unchallenged and undisturbed, the
movements of the American vessels in
| front of Havana are kept up constant
ly by day, as if to remind the Spaniards
behind the walls of the fort of their
hopeless condition. Signalling by means
OF red and white lights is kept up con-
stantly during the night between the
vessels of the fleet, and only in the
event OF alarm is the searchlight turn
ed to scan the ocean. During the last
| four nights only once has the search
light been turned on by any vessel of
the blockading squadron, and then only
| for very few minutes.
| On shore all along the line from Car
denas to Mariel no signs of life are Wis
ible. From the Diana Key lighthouse
at the mouth of Cardenas harbor to
Moro Castle 'at the entrance to the
bay of Havana the coast presents the
| appearance of a deserted island. Not
a building, not even hut, is in sight.
| Occasionally in the distance, between
two ranges of hills, a cloud of smoke
relieves the monotony of the desolate
panorama. 1t probably marks the
| death pile of some smoldering village
burned by the Spanish troops or cane
| fields set on fire by General Blancos
soldiers in their blind and impotent
rage of destruction. Smoke by day
and the lurid gleam of distant confla-
grafton by night are the only and mute
evidences of life or human existence on
the shore. Havana itself offers but
few more visible signs of life. Moro
Castle is in darkness. The revolving
light on it's lighthouse, which in the
expectation of the arrival Of Cerve-
ra's squadron had been kept burning
for several nights to welcome him to
safety and shelter, was extinguished
Sunday night and has not been relight-
ed The whole city appears to be in
pitch darkness. 1t is only when the
dispatch boat appears within a couple
of miles of the shore that one can make
out a few stray lights along the water
front.

Cuban Junta Believes He Must be
Forced to Sea.

New York, May 25.-With Commodore
Schley and Admiral Sampson guarding
the entrance to the harbor Of Santiago
de Cuba the Cuban junta believes that
the entrapping Of Admiral Cervera will
necessitate the sending to Cuba of
heavy artillery This, Mr.. Rubens. le-
gal adviser Of the junta, said to-day,
will have to be conveyed to the hills
behind San Diago from which vantage
point Admiral Cervera will be forced
into a sea battle on the outside. Should
Cervera be forced into an encounter on
sea outside the port with Commodore
Schley or Admiral Sampson, the guns
on the fortifioations, Mr.. Rubens as
serted, would practically be of no as
sistance to the Spanish commander, as
they are trained only for harbor protec-
ton,
