A SN ALL FIRE.

An alarm of lire was turned in yester.
day about 1:30 o'clock from box 50, to
which the Junior and Friendship fire
companies responded very prom pity The
fire was found to lie in store building
on the corner of Roanoke street and
Franklin load, which belonged to l. Sill
verstone and NJ. Rosenburg, and was
soon eytinguished before much damage
was done. The fire was caused by the
burning of some rubbish in an old closet
and was first discovered by some one out
side the building who saw some smoke
issuing from the house. But. for the
speedy arrival of the fire com panies the
fire might have proved n serious one, as
the high wind which was blowing would
have spread it. The loss was fully covered
by insurance.

ADMIRAL CERVERA
 IS SURELY TRAPPED
There is No Possibility of the Es- cape of the Fleet From
 Santiago.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Naval off, cers are now turning their attention to inquiries whether 1t is possible for Ad- miral Cervera to get out of Santiago harbor. They hold that this maneuver Is impossible, and being so, the career of the Spanish admiral is at an end, so far as 1t constitutes a menace against our ships. The British coni- ment that Admiral Hornby, In 1855, had escaped with his entire fleet from a har- bor under similar conditions, and that Admiral Cervera should be able to make his escape when he gets ready to .lo 50, Is not accepted. The naval view here is just the contrary. It is pointed out that Admiral Hornby escaped from an open bay. while Admiral Cervera must come through 8 channel about 300 yards wide, on which the American
The San Francisco call., 1898-05-27

searchlfghts will play constantly. If ,s said that this Is not mere coniectura
 but that naval maneuvers were car | ried on at Key West and Tortugas a few months ago which furnish a posi- 1 tive demonstration that Admiral Ger vera cannot make an exit without be- ing discovered.
 An officer who was on board one of the American ships during the Tortr1- gas movement says a sham night at- tack of torpedo-boats was made uDon the big battle-ships and cruisers. The latter were given no notice of the pro- jected attack and there were no extra guards such as the American ships now maintain. But every torpedo-boat engaged in the attack was discovered long before it was within striking dis tance Of the cruisers and battle-ships. One of the attacking torpedo-b boats was so bewildered by the searchlights that 1t nearly ran into a cruiser
 The lesson drawn from this attack was that a. sally by the enemy was inn possible, owing to the modern methods of discovering an approach It had shown also that the attacking fleet could not get within range, although they had come with the range of the guns of the ships attacked. It is said that these maneuvers at Tortugas and Key West practically represent the sit uation before Santiago. If Cervera sent out his torpedo-boats as scouts they would be detected before they had done any damage and destroyed by the small gunboats. The American ships would have the advantage of concen- trating their entire fire upon one small passage.
 night battle is quite unusual in naval annals, but it has occurred. The Constellation fought the Revenge at night, the engagement continuing for six hours in the darkness, during which the main mast of the Constellation was carried away and the ship crippled. It is believed that if Admiral Cervera at tempts to escape he will choose the night for this movement.
 On the other hand naval officials are discussing the means the American commander may adopt to make exit im- possible. In the blockade of Charleston barges full of stones were sunk at the channel entrance. cutting off ingress and egress. A few old hulks would serve the same purpose in the present case. There is difficulty in getting such old craft and the sinking of derelicts at proper points in the enamel would be attended with great danger They must be lowed to position, subjecting those in charge to the danger of mines and torpedoes. There is also the guns of Morro Castle to be guarded against. It is understood, however, that Morro Castle has no searchlights, so that a night operation of this character could be executed without the Spaniards be- ing made aware of it. Taking every thing into account naval officers feel that Admiral Cervera committed fatal blunder in being trapped at San tiago and that there is no fear the trap will prove inadequate to hold the Span ish warships.
