ESTABLISHED 1884 IS FLEET BOTTLED? Washington Has No Official In foimatioo as to Where abouts of Cerveras. NOME ELSE Has the Spanish Fleet Been Seen, So It is Presumed That It Is AT SANTAIGO DE CUBA Whereabouts of the Third Fleet is Matter of Interest and is All Fairly Well Located. Washington, May 26 The naval author ities have o.h.iniTil to another stage in the calculations on tin status of Admiral Cer vera's fleet at Santiago de Cuba. . They not only have good .reason to be lieve that he i bottled up. hut as an of ficer expressed it today "the cork is in the bottle," and it Is practically impossi ble for the fleet to make its exit from the harbor day or night. It Is felt tli.it this condition of the 'Span!; h fleet I-. not only Import.int. from Ibe pt. ent strategic standpoint, but. of momentous concern to the i ntlie future of the war as the crip pling of this the most < Hi stive naval force that Spain possi ses will leave Iter such scant naval resources as Io make a pro longation of the war improbable. It cun now be stated Unit not a word has been lecelved from either Sampson or tScliley of official confirmation of the ex istence of this tra|>. It rests now as it did two days ago on the semi-official reports coming to the navy deprntment from a source believed to lie it liable, lit is not a naval source nor one count eLid with the state dipaitmiiit neither did it come from the pres: advices, It was from parties hav ing relations with the' navy department and in position to'tie accurately advised. The naval authorities are extremely anxious Io secure official tamllrmation ftom one of the Xmerican commandin’., ami had this been reei ived it would have bet u ma le public at once, but lacking this the department gave to the public all it ft It warranted in giving from the facts at hand namely, the expression of belief that tlu- Spanish diet is in Santiago harbor. This has ‘bein reinforced by the negative fact that the fleet has been seen at an other point. SCHLEY WILL HOLD HIM THERE He Has Been Entrusted With the Working Out of the Proposition. Key West, May 26 The movements of the Xmerican war vessels un I r the three squadron commanders beyond its being a generally accepted fact, that Schley's fqujilnr.i is now in the vicinity of Santiago de C iba at the east end of the island, while "he blockading squad.on under Wat son is thought to be on duty along the -wesir-n br north, in coast vs the island, is now shrouded with only a slight uncer tainty. The complement of the squadrons has been changed, but tne exact, complement and names of the ships under each com mander is not permitted tor strategetic reasons, to be telegraphel. •Concerning the st.Ut m. ut that Cervera's ships are bottled up at Santiago de Cuba, it has been aeeeptel that Schley could maintain the blockade ..t the harbor there ami annihilate the Spantsn th- t if it is found. Outside of the fad that Schley is now thought to be ouisid” of Santiago de Cuba has given free rem to Samps .n, who is known to be in the iJihaua channel. His known purpose is trying to inter cept the Spanish fleet if it attempted to reach Havana. With Schley at Santiago de Cuba. Rear Admiral Sampson would be in a (position to proceed eastward ami effect a junction of the two iKiwerful squadrons or return to Havana to resume operations in that vi cinity. It is now accept, d as a fact that Schley is to be permitted to work out the problem of Santiago de t üba ami also by the eumi lative evidence from London and else where. Still word from Sampson and Schley is being most anxiously awaited. .NO FUSION. Democrats of North Carolina Want Straight Out Fight. Raleigh, N C., .May 26.—The Democratic ttate convention met today.

STRONG DOCUMENT Issued by the Old General—Copy of War Bulletin From Gomez’s Headquarters, New York, May 26 —Thomas Estrada Palma, the representative of the Cuba re public in iNew York, has just received the first copy of Las Villas, the war bulletin which is published by the authority of Genera) Gomez at the headquarters of the Cuban army, tit contains the official news and movements of the army of liberation, and is an interesting publication, printed, of course, in Spanish. It comprises three columns on two sides of a sheet about ten by fourteen inches. The paper has a green ish tint and the type is set up and printed at General Gomez’s headquarters under his direction. The first number, under date of May 10, 1898, is designated as “suipplemente” and contains a half column account of the bat tle of Manila, which conveyed for the first time to the soldiers of the Cuban army the facts concerning Rear (Admiral Dewey’s magnificent victory in the Philippines. Besides the official notices issued to the army, the paper contains a lengthy address issued to the Cuban army and people by General Gomez, in which he says: “I, Maximo Gomez, commander-in-chief of the Cuban army, take this opportunity through the medium of Las Villas, which hereafter will be published once a week, at the headquarters of thb army of libera tion, to communicate with those of my command and our people. Un view of the adoption of- the constitution of the repub lic of Cuba and the armed intervention of the Uunited States in our behalf to aid us in obtaining our independence which soon will be recognized by all the world, I desire to make known that hereafter our soldiers no longer shall be known as in surgents, but soldiers of the regular army of the republic. I hereby direct that there shall be issued each week a war bulletin, which shall be published at the general headquarters of the army, and shall begin with this issue on the 10th day of May, to be known as Las Villas. “It will be published under the direction and by the lauthority of the staff officer of the army, and in it will be published all circulars, orders and official notes of the war department, as well as information which our army and our people may de sire to know concerning our progress and our allies, the United States. “I take this occasion to remind each Cuban in service that he now has a coun try recognized for which he- must fight with all honor and glory. He is now a Cuban soldier, and not an insurgent, and will respect the rules of civilized warfare. I wil] order punished any chief officer or private who fails to respect the rights of our prisoners of war, and such prisoners will be treated with respect to their ranks and according to the rules of civilized countries, and the constitutional army. “Our soldiers will conduct themselves in such a manner.as to gain for themselves the good offices of our brethren of the United States, and for this reason it is my wish that the army of Cuba may exhibit model discipline. I desire to impress upon you that our fight has not been kept up for the past three years, with the idea of revenge. We are fighting for liberty and independence, and not for revenge, and I would call your attention to the fact that the history of the world shows that loss of blood has always been the price of liberty. “‘Notwithstanding we must ever remem ber our dead martyrs to the cause of Cu ban freedom, and fight the good fight, and it will not be long before every Spanish soldier shall have left our soil. We have had to contend against a most cruel en emy, one which has known not honor, and its methods of warfare have been most barbarous, and every act of Spain has shown the thirst for blood and the desire to trample down and annihilate the people of Cuba. I don’t desire that our army should emulate their example, but I would prefer that our methods of war be those of civilized nations, that we may show to the enemy that those whom they are fight ing are more honorable than themselves; “In a recent proclamation issued by General Blanco he made the statement that it now was the duty- of all Spaniards to die for their honor in the war against the Lnited States. Spain does not know the meaning of honor; her definition qf the word is nothing but cruelty. “Spanish soldiers have never been known to die for honor except when they were opposed as ten to one. Their idea of honor has been to assassinate defenseless women and children whose protectors are now fighting for freedom in our army. Their ideas of honor has been to rob, to plunder. They die for honor drinking, gambling and committing crimes against humanity and against society, but now they will die before American and Cuban arms. “I take this opportunity to speak thus to our people and our army that they may be encouraged and know- that we now have noble allies who will aid us in our fight for freedom, which long has been deserved and which we can now see will be a reality at no distant Las Villas, communicative with you in day. I shall also from time to time, in the same manner.” WORD “THROUGH” Doesn’t Mean “Clear Through,” Says Su preme Court. Washington, May 26.—1 n the supreme court yesterday Bunyan’s “Pilgrim’s Pro-, gross” was read to prove that the word “through” did not necessarily mean clear through and out the other side.

MUST GIVE UP THEIR RIFLES Colored Companies Wili be Called Upon to Give Up Their Guns. REGULAR TROOPS SHORT And Military Men Think That the Negroes Should be Forced to Give Up Their Arms. It is not at all improbable that the rifles in possession of the colored military companies of the state will be taken away and will be given to the regular companies in order that they may be supplied with arms. The colored military companies do nor. belong to any regiments, but are as a mat* ter of fact merely social organizations and nave no real standing with the regular state tio<-p2. Since me arms of the military compa nies were taken away it has become appa rent that there was not sufficient protec tion because not only are the military companies depleted of their men but in an emergency they have not sufficient rifles to equip any number of volunteers. The rifles carried by the colored com panies belong to the state and are the same that are in use by the regular state troops. A movement in this direction was com menced some days ago and the governor has been approached about the matter. It is understood that he will act promptly and that the rifles of the two Macon com panies will be turned over to the while companies of the city in a few days. There are two military companies among the negroes of the city. They are not mem bers of the Second regiment and are not under the command of Colonel Wiley. In fact they are not a part and parcel of the state troops except by courtesy aud they are given the rifles as a military company it is true, but it is very properly pointed out that the regular state troops are -first entitled to the guns and this right is ac- • knowledged no doubt by the governor. The negro companies of iMacon .do not like the idea ibut there is no doubt that the fact remains that they will have to give the guns up and do it promptly. $2.64 TO ATLANTA.
