PATROLS CUBAN COAST FOR TEN DAYS lteInforenten1 to Ii Sciut ( ti Schtler' . , Fleet tu AIIISISt tutu iii iCcep- user Cers'crrt III ft Trap , ( Copyright , IS9S , by Pres ; Publishing Co. ) OFF' IIAIIAMA CHANNEL , May 30.-Via ( Key West.-New ) ( York World Cablegram- Siecial Telegram.-For ) ten days Admiral Sampson's fleet has been lying on the sea between the Cuban coast and Bahama banks or cruising slowly from 100 to 200 miles off the east of hIas'ana where the gulf narrows - rows Into Bahama channel toward the southeast - east and the Santaren channel opens to the northward. Through the first week of this waiting it was the plan of strategy to corn- mand these two channels as the only approaches - preaches to the westward by which the Spanish fleet might attempt to cater these waters or make a dash toward havana or Key West , Admiral Sampson assembled this fleet at a rendezvous 200 miles cast of Xhavnna one week ago iast Tue'sday , bringing with him some ships from the havana station , where the ilag ship waited two days to pick theni up , others joining the squadron later by prevIous appointment. \VetTh'sday , May 25 , there was gathered at the enranco of the old flahama channel a fleet rem'rkable in that every type of naval architectur was represented. There were five cruisers , the ilagshiip New York , Detroit , Montgoniey , Cincinnati and New Orleans ; one battieshii , first class , the Indiana ; three monitors Puritan , Amphiatrite and Miantonomah ; four gunboats , \'icksburg , Machins , Newport and Wilmington ; two torpedo boats , Foote and Rogers ; one dynamite cruiser , the Vesuvius ; two supply and coal steamers , torpedo boat destroyer Mayliower anti another converted yacht hornet and two armed tugs , It was undoubtedly the plan that if the Spaniards fled from Schiloy and tried to double Cape Ilayti , Sampson would be waiting - ing with a grim welcome. There was no escape , but before the American admiral could turn to their destruction Schhey had caught the enemy in Santiago anti hail hot- tleii them up , their choice being to conic out and fight or stay in and starve. The Spanish navy in these waters now ceases to spread alarm by reports of its phantom movements. The gulf Is as safe for Anicrican vessels as the waters of Long Island sound. The entrance to Santiago bay is by a crooked channel. There are to forts , which arc scnrcel , ' worth consider- tog as modern defenses. Two or three hulks or barges sunk as obstructions would block this channel. IItSItrg'IIIM in Control. Santiago province is altogether in the control of the insurgents. There is no railroad - road hI thIs province by which supplies could be brought from Havana or Cien- fuegos to the relief of the beleaguered fleet even if Spain's soldiers were iii force through this region. The insurgents have only to close in around Santiago city to cut off all chances of relief by land. It is only a question of time measured by weeks before - fore these four magaitlcent Spanish cruisers must surrender by the ignominious agency of starvation and become valuable additions to tile naval force of the United States , unless - less they choose the desperate alternative of coming out to fight with defeat certain aliti only th ? glory possible to inflict data- age on the enemy before lowering their col- ore over their shattered ships. If they would rather remain in the harbor - bor , then it is for them only in their cx- treinity to put tbeir crews ashore to fight the insurgents and starvation and blow up the Vizcaya , the Oquendo , the Cristobal Colon , tile Maria Teresa and the torpedo destroyer Terror , rather than have them augment the hostile forces. But there is opportunity for some pretty torpedo boat dashes by each side before the definite end is in sight. Schley's squadron is to be reinforced. ET2tlghi ships will be left behind for protecting - tecting and covering the landing of troops and blockading the coast. I llatl not seen an American flag over a sailing vessel ten miles off the coast of Florida , but totlay we passed two large schooners , one four and the other three. mastetl anti a bark flying the stars atitl stripes and laying their courses with a merry breeze abeam straight through Spanish - ish waters. There have been many impressive sights in this trooping and marching of fleets at sea in war time through the last two weeks , but none to stir the pride and patriotism so much as the coming of the Oregon , reporting - porting to the admiral as , if it hind Just left the navy yard , after a cruise of 15,000 miles , breaking all records for the achievement era a battleship in the navies of the world , The Oregon touched at Key West siniply to coal and joined the fleet two days later , ready and fit for fighting or steaming faster thmnmi'tho day it was launched in San Fran- cisco.

( Copyright , 1833 , by I'reiiu Publishing Co. ) LONDON , May 30.-Now York World Cablegram - Special Telegiam. ) - henry Norman's letter In the Chronicle dated Washington says ft study o the whole sit- uatton appears to dictate the capture of Santiago by land. The trdops now chafing at Tampa are amply sumc1nt to acomphish this , and transports now costing the gov- crnment $5,000 a flay are ready to convoy them on a few hours noticd. Santiago Is cut off by a roadless country and insurgents - gents from the rest of Cuba , It is therefore - fore impossible for 'hllanco to reinforce It even if ho could spare the troops. To cap- tore Santiago would compel Cervera to rush onto certain destruction , sink his ships or surrender. The administration , if it chose , could establish the Cuban government safely there. Such a scheme seems the nat- oral strategical solution of the present combined naval , military and geographical problem and is calculated to bring the war to a conclusion without great loss of life , which would certainly be involved in the long delay followed by an in'asion of Cuba in force.

KEY WEST , Fla. , May 30.-Any doubt remaining as to the exact location of Admiral Cervera's fleet was removed by reports - ports brought in by naval scout ships , and forwarded in tile Associated Press dispatches - patches of Saturday night. The Spanisil squadron is anchored in the harbor of Santiago , and tile problem remains for the commanders of the Alnericali fleet to dispose of the enemy , either by corking the bottle or by forcing the loig ; , narrow passage and alliashing tite strong Spanish squadron at tile anchorage its commander bias clwcn. It bias been the'opinion of Rear Adntiiiml Sampsoa that Admiral Cervc'ra would seek either Santiago or Cienfuegos as a naval reftigo anti base , and the movement f the two American squadrons has proqqIc .vrtnu. this basis. Strong and effective an are the Spanish ships , representing as theydo tile flower of ( be Spanish navy , every argo- meat , in the opinion of American naval strategy , compelled Admiral Cervera to seek the shelter of the closed harbor of Santiago or return to Spain , and he chose to make hii refuge at Santiago. 'That he woultl court a fight in the open sea is nu itlea which has never been entertained iii American naval circles , although his ships without exception have high qualities , cuing to their great speed , for such a con u'-4t. On the other hand , it 'wAS believed the Spanish admiral would attempt to run into San Juan do Pore Rico , but the fact of the recent bombardment of the forts of that harbor , coupled with the great possibility that Rear Admiral Sampson's ihect would be met if be attempted to enter that harbor , heft tile Spanish admiral only one alternative - tive , and he adopted it by going to Santiago , where , it is presumed , he has been able to coal , clean and repair , anti is in a iosition to accept either the contlitious imposed by tilat blockade or the issue of a fight in the inner harbor , after the American fleet has forced the passage. It has been thought that the campaign against Admiral Cervera might now be ended by demnolishling the forts at tile entrance of tile harbor of Santiago , blockading the chan- nd and isolating the Spanish fleet until the other problems ef the war arc worked out. This , however , is not in line with the Artier- ican policy , and , simply accepting the view of tile situation taken by the naval experts here , Admiral Cervera will have to accept battle at once. It is Comluldently expected tb.t a hard blow will be struck s'ithlin three or four days , and that the result will be known to the world nt the expiration of that tinle. It. has hot been disclosed whether Commodore Scitley Is to be reinforced , but it. would not be surprising if some additional ships were sent to him , II It I'I'I S I t CO L ii H ii I S CAIJG I IT.
