which was not much more than

was no disposition to run our
boats mp close to the fortifica-
tions where they could infiict
punishment.
The reason given for this is
that we are not yet certain that
the Spanish feet is inside the
harbor of Santiago. There are
a great many people here
aud among them men who are
acquainted with that harbor
who say that Cervera. if he ever
went into the harbor. left it at

may have left none. 1t is GER
tain from all that can be gather
ed that the officers in command
Of our feet are not positively
sure that all OF Cereva's feet is
on the inside. As long as the
doubt exists it would be dan
gerous to run our boats up
against land Notifications and
have them hurt.
The Spanish advices now say
that Cervera is not in the har-
Dor. All along they have been
declaring that he was here. No
reliance is placed on anything
they say. but they would have
less reason to make false state
ments now than they had here
tofore since we are in front Of

out what is in it.-W. q. s., in

SchIey Not Heard From.

w WaSnlnRlOns June up 10
a late hour this evening moth
ing had been heard of
ticially from Schley or Samp-
son. The preparations for all
early invasion of Cuba. and per
haps Porto Rico. are still going
on. While the navy depart
ment is preserving a calm de-
meanor as far as the eye can
see yet it is known that 1t is not
at all satisfied with the silence
of Schley and Sampson in re-
gard to the battle which took
place at Santiago de Cuba a
few days ago.
That such a battle did take
place is now beyond all ques-
ton, and that there ever was
any question about it was be-
cause the officers on our side
failed to make a report of it.
Since sufficient time has
elapsed the newspapers which
have special correspondents in
West Indian waters, and who
were on the ground when the
battle took place, have printed
not only the general news of the
fight. but have actually given
all the details of it. An Asso-
ciated Press boat has arrived at
San Domingo, and its CORES
pondents contribute their story
also.
There is now no doubt about
the fight aud none in regard to
the boats in it. and all other de-
tails which would make the
story complete. And yet the
navy department assures the
correspondents here that it has
not heard a word from the Off
GERS who were in charge of the
fleets in the fight. though the
navy is better supplied with
swift vessels to carry the news
TO the first telegraph station
than is any newspaper.
Some explanation from the
is necessary at this
point, and it is given about as
follows: That doubtless the
assault on the works at Santa
90 is not yet at an end, and it
IS not customary for reports to
be made by officers till they are
with that which they
have undertaken; and again,
while it is understood that the
orders to Schley and Sampson
we're not to assault the fortifi-
of the enemy, yet the
enemy may have done some
hing that would have forced

That is about all the explana-
