Commodore Schley's command is well

on its way to Cuba. The naval depart

Spanish fleet was at Paraeoa, and he

was ordered to hasten with all dispatch

to Cuban waters, from which his future

movements will be directed by the

Secretary Hong's belief is this: The

enemy, depending upon superior speed,

will make every effort to cut out isolated

American ships and destroy them, run

inferior force. It can be stated that

the naval war board is acting in line

with this idea.

coaled it is thought it will proceed to

some port on the southern coast pf

Cuba. _
