gait. During the night the fleet had come up with the monitors Puritan and
 Miantonomah, which had been sent ahead owing to their slow speed, and the torpedo boats Ericsson and Rod gers. This force was soon augmented
 by the arrival of the cruisers Mont gomery and Marblehad, and 1t began to look like a real fleet, bent on real busi-
 ness. On Tuesday afternoon the big schooner Supply Joined the fleet, and several hours were passed in distribut- ing provisions among the various ships.
 Night had again fallen when the fleet moved on eastward. Just at dusk the gunboat Wasp came up from the west and delivered dispatches to the admi- ral. As the fleet moved eastward red and white signal lights suddenly flashed from the signal ward of the New York, and all the other vessels immediately answered. As the war ships rocked gently on the swell of the gracefully with their strings of con- stantly changing lights. The intense gloom seemed accentuated by the flag
 ships electric signals and nothing of the vessels could be seen except the waving lanterns Like fiery specters scout for the Spanish fleet. Gradually the lights winked their mysterious message and went out and then there was left not a trace of the fleet
 All Wednesday morning the fleet Topped along to the westward, idly re- tracing its path. The position was at the junction of old Bahama and San taren channels. and seemed well chosen to intercept an enemy who sought passage to the Atlantic coast of the United States. The morning passed in this manner. the fleet not moving more than five knots an hour. The cruiser New Orleans about noon deserted her place with the flying division and went alongside the New York. After an interchange of signals at close range the New Orleans turned and soon disappeared eastward, going at a sixteen-knot gait. Shortly after the Vesuvius steamed ahead in the di- rection of Key West, after taking some dispatches from the flagship. The mo- notony of the afternoon was broken by the arrival of the monitor Amphitrite in tow of the transport Panther. They turned and followed the fleet westward along the Cuban coast. When the Dewey left the fleet this afternoon it was just off Kay Francis, where it commanded three channels, but 1t was slowly moving westward.

That Admiral Sampson should turn back at this seemingly critical juncture indicates that Admiral Cervera has helped our navy out of its dilemma by putting himself into a neat pocket at Santiago de Cuba and handing the key to Commander Schley. At any rate the most formidable danger yet met by the United States naval forces in this war has apparently come to an end for lack of an object.
 Admiral Sampson has massed pow erfuI fleet. to crush the enemy only to learn that the enemy has kindly crushed himself. The cruise of Samp- sons fleet has already occupied six days. including the time occupied in getting our ships together. As the sun rose on Monday the wind abated some. Ten miles off Havana early Monday morning a cluster of spars and smoke indicated the whereabouts of the fleet. As the Dewey approached we could make out the New York, Indiana and nearly all the gunboats on the Havana blockading station. The monitors had disappeared. The cruiser Montgomery had come up from Key West and Com modore Watson had transferred his PShiAoit bp iieI ITtIn the Mdy dylloWSI. After long continued signaling the New York about Il o'clock turned and head ed eastward along the coast. The In- diana fell in just behind and then the Mayfiower, Newport, Vicksburg and Wilmington
 Slowly the line of warships steamed along with the Dewey in their warke. Cojimar was passed, then Matanzas and then Cardenas light was given a wide berth to the south. At Cardeuas. a. big black cruiser came cracking along from the northwest and joined the pro- cession. It nroved to be the New Or leans, just from the north She was fol- lowed by the gunboat Machias. At last the fleet was off on it's mission in the teeth of a gale, which covered the decks with spray. During the night z which was another stormy one. the Dewey lost sight of the feet No lights were shown, and we were warned not to come too near. When dawn of Tues day came not ship was In sight, but about noon the entire fleet was made put dead ahead going along at an easy

A dispatch was received to-day from Hayti, stating that the Spanish heet had left Santiago and had gone to Cienfuegos. It was reported in Wasn- ington that the War Board was sum moned to the White House immedi- ately upon the receipt of this cable gram. and that our naval plans were completely upset.
 It was very apparent that important news of some kind had been received from the West Indies, for General Miles and the War Board were hur- riedIv summoned by telephone. It is said tonight, however, that if there was at any time to-day a disposition at the Navy Department to credit the Haytian report later advices must nave been received, for this evening there is the same confidence manifested that there was yesterday. Naval experts declare that it would have been impos- sibIe for Cervera's vessels to have elud- ed Schley, and that they could not nave sailed before his vessels arrived before the harbor without being observed oy our scouting cruisers, three or four or which were patroling the south coast of Cuba, between Cienfuegos and San tiago.
 The War Boards confidence that Cervera is imprisoned in the harbor Is best shown by the fact that at the White House conference to-day Photographic chart of Santiago har- bor was exhibited. This showed that the narrowest point in the channel, near the harbor's mouth, is less than one-sixteenth of a mile in width, while there are only five fathoms (th1rty feet) of water, there being barely sufficient depth to accommodate the passage of a modern man Of war draw ing 27 feet This is between Estrella battery on the east side of the harbor and Canovas Point on the west side, and is only a half mile from the open sea. It would, therefore, be possible for one or two of our battle-sh1pS standing out to sea to prevent the en- emy's egress.
 This having been settled to the satis- faction of all present 1t was decided to nush the Cuban military expedition. Different reports seemingly reliable have for the last day or two located Admiral Sampson's squadron off Ha- vana and before Santiago; but the tr,,th probably is about half way be- tween these e. tremeS. He was known to have sailed east from Havana on Monday morning and the suppositlon was that he sailed south through the windward Passage and joined Schley at Santiago
 rt annears now that he has been cruising in the old Bahama channel, of the northeastern coast of Cuba, where he could be within easy sailing dis tance of either Havana or santiago and at the same time intercept Ger yera's squadron should 1t by any pos-

MAY SAIL
 FROM CADIZ
 TO MANILA

NEW YORK, May 26-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Spain's S Ambassador at Paris has informed the French Minister for Foreign Affairs that Manila is the prospective destina- tion of the squadron mobilizing at Ca dig. From an official source in France this report was received by the au- thorities to-day. The statement was coupled with the announcement, how ever that the information was laid be- fore the French Minister by the Spanish Ambassador under instruction from the Ministry which recently went out of office, and that as the new Ministry was leveling considerable criticisms at the work of it's predecessor, the plan as the authorities here were informed may have been changed.
 In any event, according to informa- tion received, 1t is extremely doubtful if the fleet can be got in condition to sail under another week, and probably longer time will be necessary to put it in satisfactory condition.
 The machinery of several vessels Is reported to be out of order on account of lack of skilled men. The battery of the armored cruiser Carlos is also not in satisfactory condition. Workmen are employed day and night In making the necessary repairs, and every effort Is being made to get the ships away from Cadiz as quickly as possible.
 Naturally the report that the Spanish Government h,4d informed France that the destination of its fleet was Manila was the cause of some comment in of ficial circles, but until further informa- ton comes regarding the decision of the new Ministry the authorities do not propose to waste very much time in worrying over the matter.
 In view of the bottling up of the Spanish fleet in the harbor of Santiago de Cuba the authorities say that 1t would be absurd for the jpaniards to send their reserve squadron to the far east and they believe their plans will not be carried out notwithstanding the information was given to the French Government. The action of Spain in keeping France informed of the move ments of her fleet aroused a good deal of suspicion, and it is believed to be indicative of good relations existing be- tween the two governments.
 With the Monterey and the Charles ton attached to his fleet, Rear Admiral Dewey, 1t is believed will be able to take care of the Spanish squadron if sent against him, and meantime the

PROHIBITS THE
 IMPORTATION OF ARMS

Copyrighted, 1898, by James Gordon Bennett
 HONGKONG, May 26.-Acting for the British Government, Governor Sir Hen ry A. Blake issued to-day in the Ga Zette an extraordinary decree prohibit ing for six months, from May 2S, the exportation from the colony of arms, ammunition, gun powder or naval and military stores, unless by special per mission, granted under local ordinance.
 This Is a continuation of the procla- nation issued on November 20, last, owing to the importation into China of supplies from Hongkong for secret so- cieties. It has no special significance in regard to the Spanish war, but 1t will hamper the Philippine insurgents in obtaining supplies.

NEW YORK, May 26-A Madrid dis patch states that Sagasta says there will be no fight at Santiago unless Ger vera desires it.

stble means elude schley and strike for our Atlantic seaboard.
 But now that Schley has the hostile fleet locked up, Sampson will return to Ha- vana and immediately com mence the bombardment Of Santa Clara and Morro Gas tie batteries. By the time they are reduced the 25, ,OOO or 3O,OOO troops now ready for authorization will be landed in Cuba.
 It Is believed there will be no im- mediate invasion of Porto Rico. It was at first suggested that Sampson while in the Bahama channel should be di- rected to return to San Juan and com plete the work he was engaged in when the presence of Cervera's fleet In West Indian waters called him hurriedly home to mobilize.
 It was argued that Spain would not send her reserve fleet across the At lantic with Cervera's locked up and her only remaining base of supplies (San Juan) destroyed. This plan may yet be adopted, although at the White House conference to-day 1t was agreed that it would be better to mobilize as large an army as possible in Cuba with out sparing any troops for Porto Rico at this time. This would leave San Juan open for the reception of Spain's reserve fleet, and it was argued it, too, might possibly be locked up.
 A naval officer said tonight: Tt would be strange indeed if after an- initiating Montijo's fleet at Manila and bottling up Cervera in Santiago we should succeed in imprisoning Admiral Camara also"
 A report reached Washington to- night from Key West that a vessel ar irving there had heard heavy firing in the vicinity of Havana. It is not prob able that our blockading vessels would begin @ bombardment until Admiral Sampson returns.
