Washington, May 28. Itwa9 au
thontlvely stated at the close of the
close of the cabinet meeting yesterday
afternoon that -although the govern
or had no official Information on the
subject, there Isno reasonable doubt
that Cervera's fleet was In Santiago
harbor, and that Schley was on guard
at the entrance. Although the in
formation upon which this belief is
based Is regarded as entirely trust
worthy, the government will make
no important raoye or change in Its
plans in the abscence of direct con
firmation from official circles. It
was also stated that any contempla
ted movement against Cuba or Porto
Rice would be held In abeyance until
the Spanish-fleet is either destroyed 6
otherwise rendered incapable of seri
ously interfering with our plans In
any direction.
The cabinet discussed the situation
at length , but nothing of great con
sequence was acted upon. The work
of equipping and mobilizing the
volunteer army will be pushed with
all possible vigor with a ylew to its
btlng In perfect, readiness for a call
that might be made when theSpanlbh
fleet shall uo longer be a serious factor
In the war problem.
A New York dispatch says:
Among the 278, passengers which
the BrltlshsteamerArcuna, chartered
by tho Hard line, brought hero from
Mexican ports, were three families of
refugees Iroui Havana. With many
others thy escaped from Havana to
Ver;t Ciuc on the French steamer La
Fjycttee. The refugees are Jose Otero
his wife aud live children. Alferdo de
laFerte, wife and two children, and
Mrs. F. u. de Miranda.
It is said the L t Fayette tried to
purchase coal, but General iilnnco
would allow none lo bo sold. The
limited supply now theie is being
guarded jealously, and ntnlghtthe city
is incomplete darkness The electrlct
light plant has been shut down, all
factories where coal Is used as fuel are
stopped, and the gas and water works
are forced to net along with as little
coal as possible. Fortius reason water
is scarce.
When the Lafeyetto sailed for
Vera Cruz there was a stampede to
get out of the city. Fully 15.000
Spanish and Cubans had obtained
passports to leave, but exorbitant
prices prevailed, and only a part of
them could afforuMhe rate demanded.
As it was, the Lafeycttc took 1200
men, women ano children away from
Ilavana.all that she was able to carry.
There were thousands left who, al-
thoughwilllng to pay the price asked
could not get passports, and they ran
about like madmen, offering themore
fortunate ones twice the amount
they paid for tickets. A passenger
named Xiques paid $1400 for passage
forhlmsel wife and two children.
Many others paid as high as $1000
each, and then they were compelled
to sleep pn the decks.
Three miserable days were spent on
the Lafayette with only a scanty
allowance of food for each passenger.
Nearly all the passengers were
wealthy Spanish merchants la Ha
vana, and other Cuban citizens. Jose
Otero, who brought his wife and three
daughters to this city, was formerly
connected with the city government
in Havana. lie said:
"When I left It was said that the
insurgents were only 15 miles from
the city, and at night the lights of
their campflres could be seen burning
in the hills. From fear of bombard
ment by the United States ships and
attack by insurgents, the city is panic
stricken, and a combined attack Is
looked for every hour. Food is scarce
and fresh meat can scarcely be bought
at any price. The blockado Is felt
more by the poorer classes, and as
they aro the ones who have been most
loyal to Spain tlio suffering among
them lb the worst.' ,
Mr Otero would say little about tho
Spanish troops under Blanco, but
from other pasengers it was learned
that tho army Is about as badly de
moralized and panic stricken as tho
civilians. Ammunition Is scarce, and
many of the troops are clothed In rags
and without shoes. Rations aro being
doled out to them sparingly, but the
soldiers watch carefully all places
where proylslons aro known to bo
stored, and the authorities will not
allow private famtlles to purchase
supplies for more than one day at a
time.
Senor de la Fertc Is a Cuban of
French descent who ownes a large
plantation near Havana. lie said he
had brought his family here for safety
until the war Is over, but at tho out
break of the rebellion Eduardo Garcia,
the manager of his plantation, bad
raised a regiment of 1200 men from
his and neighboring plantations and
joined the Insurgents.
"When the Spanish soldiers heard
of it," said Senor de la Ferte, "they
marched upon my plantation and
burned and destroyed everything
above ground, We only got uwuy
away with our lives."
Senor do la Fertc said he did not
think it was true that tho steam
er Lafayette had unloaded any arms
or amunltion atnavana,or that soma
of her passengers were French gun
ners. He said the forts around Hav
ana will bo able to make a poor reply
to a bombardment. Although somo
of the gunsaie modern und in good
condition, tho supply of powder and
projectiles is short.
All the refugees were met at the
Ward line pier by Cuban friends liv
ing in this city and given a joyous
welcome
The Public Schools
f Salem Observe Memorial
Day With Programs.
Patriotic Exercises by the Pupils and Ad
dresses by Citizens.
Salem honored the observance of
Memorial day with programs In all
tho public schools.
AT THE EAST SCHOOL.
An immense audience attended the
Memorial exercises at the East school
yesterday. A splendid program was
carried out and the decorations were
simply beautiful. The outdoor ex
ercises consisted of a grand march,
the pupils marching four abreast
aroud the fechool grounds, tho primary
grades leading. One halt was made
and the following flag salute was
glyen: "We give our heads, our hearts
and our hands to our country; one
country, one language and one flag."
After pupils were again assembled In
their rooms the primary grades
marched to the main hall where a
most satisfactory program was ren
dered. The grammar grades, then
formed in the hall as soon as tho pri
mary pupils could be gotten outof the
way, entertained the audience with a
carefully arranged program. At tho
conclusion Rev. ltetchum, a member
of the G. A. R. committee, made a
yery interesting and pleasing talk to
the pupils. Tho exercises were spoken
of as being the best held at the East
school for several years and the teach
ers feel fully repaid for the extra work
required to arrange the program.
At the close of the program the vis
itors and pupils were given the
freedom of the building so that they
could visit the different rooms and see
the exhibit of school work that had
been prepared for the occasion, For
an hour or more the great throng of
people passed from room to room
ylewlng a great variety of interesting
school work and It seemed to be the
feeling of all that much praise was
due teachers and pupils for their ex
cellent exhibit. Directors Bruce and
Chamberlln were among the visitors
and expressed themselves as being
pleased and highly entertained by the
day's performance.
AT THE NORTH SCHOOL
The following was the program on
Friday afternoon.
At 1 30 p. m. the school called to
gether, A. grade march followed,
pupils forming In a body In front of
the building, where the G. A. R. rep
resentatives were formally received.
A flag salute was given, followed by
America." Pupils then marched to
assembly room and gaye the program.

Schley fonnd that he had been eluded
and he nov7 sails In pursuit of the
escaping Armada. Neither are the
cables cut; two wires are In operation
between Cuba and Madrid in splto of
all our efforts to destroy them.
Schley's squadron sailed outof Clen
fucgos Tuesday night. For thrco days
they had watched the cntranco of the
harbor of Clcnfucgos with every gun
shotted and manned, almost positive
tho Spaniards were Inside.
Not until dusk Tuesday, when the
Marblchcad and Eagle returned from
a scouting expedition, In the course of
which they connected with tho Insur
gents ashore, was it learned positively
tho Spanish fleet was not Inside.
Nothing was then left but to start
out on a hunt again and this was done
within an hour.
The dispatch boat followcd'tho fleet
for awhile, but on account of storms
and shortness of coal and water, put
In here.
On the way she was lired on by the

Washington, May 28.-Informa
tlon of an official character was re
ceived at the navy department, last
night, them arc two cables uow In
operation between Cuba und Mad Id
and that In spite of eiforfs that h.ivc
been put forth to Interrupt commu

their government.
One of these lines enter the water
at Ouatanamo and the uther at Clen
fuegosJ.Thn later was cut with lo-.s of
life to tho Americans, but it has
sloie been repaired.
Sampson was instructed to destroy
these cables at any cost and without
further uncertainty and delay.
Tho dissensions und differences
which mark the opening chapters of
the war with Spain are not can lined
exclusively to the bourd of strategy,
which Is held responsible for the
movements of the navy. There Is
more or less of 11 among high olllclals
of the army, und ut this time, us In
almost every Instance when differences
occur, the trouble arises out of the
clash which comes when u West Point
graduate Is pitted against an officer
who rose to his present position
through transfer from tho volunteer
service at the close of the war.
Some weeks ago President McKln
ley called General Schotield Into con
sultation with him concerning the
conduct of the war. Gcnerul Scho
fleld Is the only living man who cyer
reached the grade of lieutenant-general.
In the history of tho army of
the United Stutes only six men have
over been commissioned to a grade
above that of major-general. They
were Washington, Scott, Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan and Scholleld.
WhcnSsholield retired two years ago
last September, the command of the
army fell for the first tlmo since tho
close of tho civil war to a major-general
who was not a graduate of West
Point, Major-General Nelbon A,
Miles.
From that tlmo on tho old antagon
ism between West Pointers and vol
unteers has tbeen manifested, and
since the declaration of war against
Spain, General Milts has been sub
ject to repeated attacks because of his
alleged unwillingness to Inyade Cuba
during tho rainy season. In an inter
view published th Ik week, General
Miles has emphatically denied that he
hascvei directly or Indirectly opposed
the president's policy In this regard.
II o asserted that ho blmply desired
that enough men should be sent with
him to insure an active and uggres
slvccampulgn. Ho declared further
that he Is ready to move just as soon
as tho army can bo properly equipped
for movement.
There Is reason to believe that the
story to the contrary emanated from
somo of the officers of tho army be
longing to the WcstPoInt wing, und
now. when eycry one had reason to
believe that tho Cuban expedition
was all ready to start, the news leaks
out that Cuba Is not to bo Invaded
just at present, but that Porto Rice
Is to be the first island to receive tho
attention of the mllitlary authorities
of the United States. It Is known
tonight positively that Schotield and
not Miles Is responsible for this
change in the administration plan.
Schofleld has been earnest and ener
getic lu his conferences with the presi
dent in Insisting upon tho abandon
ment of the Cuban project for the
time being. lie declares openly the
northern troops could not posslblo re
sist the malarial conditions of the
Cuban climate without having theli
numbers largely depleted.
Unfortunately, the fact that Miles,
tliecotmndlng-general, came into tin
atuiy trorntho volunteerservlce, while
Suholleld the chief military adviser of
the president, Is a West Pointer, is
looked upon as sufficient evidence
that a conflict between tho two wings
of the army still exists. ItJIs pointed
out as an evidence of the unwilling
ness of the mllltuiy ucudemy graduate
to admit that without West Paint
training a man can by any chance
become an efficient general. It now
transpires that Miles had outlined the
whole Cuban campaign and that he
had the endorsement of tho president,
when Schollcld came to the -front
with a new program, which has super
seded that of tho general of the army
and as a result months aro likely to
elapse bcfnro tho prime object of the
war, namely, relief of starving Cubans
can bo accomplished, but In the mean
time, the Maine will be very emphati
cally avenged.
Holland's Plans,
New York, May 28. J. J. Hol
land, builder of the Holland sub
marine boat, haf gone to Washington
with Colonel O. E.Crecy, for tha pur
pose of making an off el to tho govern
ment which .will, If accepted, per
haps solve tho problem of how to
destroyCervera's Fleet.
Mr. Holland will submit his propo
sition to the secretary of tho navy ut
once. He is willing to lundcrtako to
sail his submarine boat into the chan
nel af tho narrow entrance to Santiago
harbor, destroy tho mines planted
there, and IT necessary proceed into
the harbor and deliver a few blows to
Cervera's J vessels.
Mr. Ilolulnd declares that his plans
are entirely feasible. Tho boat Is in
shape und ready for the work, and ho
will agree If the secretary of the navy
thinks favorably of his proposal, to
obtain ii crew of volunteers for tho
work.
All he will ask of the authorities Is
transportation for his men and ves
sel to Cuba. Oor.9 there, he agrees to
do the rest. He proposes to take his
boat to Santiago, fitting her out and
getting In readiness under tho pro
tectlonu f Schley's squadron.
Then, when tho opportunity offers,
probably just ut dawn, tho Holland
will start on Its mission. When near
the forts which frown on both sides of
tho entrance It will sink beneath the
surface and steal quietly toward the
main channel.
When this Is reached It will bo re
counoltcred to get tho line of the
mine fields, und then will withdraw
to a distance and discharge ono or
more of Its submarine torpedoes
among the mines.
This Is tho regular process known
counter-mining, which -Is slmillurly
conducted by a vessel above the
water which lies alongside tho harbor
mines which when exploded open up
the whole chancel.
Mr, Holland believed that by this
method tho channel into Santiago
coul bo opened with great difficulty.
Ho Is prepared, If necessary, after this
week to proceed In his craft under
neath the water into tho harbor and
attempt to blow up ono or moreof
Cervera's battle ships.
If tho nayy department has not an
other plan for disposing of Cervera's
fleet Mr. Holland's scheme may be
considered.
