Sails With Un- known,But May at Any Time Meet One of America’s Big Fleets, Destination NAVAL EXPERTS GUESSIN Interesting Theory of the Situa- tion in the Caribbean Sea Worked Out By the Experts, IT IS ALL GUESS WORK, HOWEVER. Washington, May 18 elusive Cape Verde fleet is still sail- ing in a sea of obscurity, Informa- tion received here from Curacoa is that the fleet steamed west for that island. This is thought to mean th: it has sailed from the Gulf of Vene- in the calm waters of Spain’s xuela where, that arm of the Caribbean sea, col- liers will be met and coal taken op board. Naval officers say that information was in the hands of the department two weeks ago that colliers were headed for that place and they now lament the fact that cruisers were not sent to capture them The coaling of the Spanish fleet will take twenty-four hours at least. Admiral Cervera, it is thought, will Cuba to try and raise the blockade, but he has lost valuable time and his opportunity. Before ve can reach she shores of, Cuba, Sampson, Schley and Watson will have formed a junction and the then move on to armored ships of this fleet, excepting the monitors, will be stationed at} some strategic point from which they can strike a quick blow in any direc- tion. The monitors ‘Terror, Miantono- wab, Puritan and Amphritite will lie off Havana and can prevent the Cape De Verde fleet from entering that port should they give Sampson and Schley the slip. Sampson will be senior officer of the combined fleet and will have as a fighting force the armored cruisers New York and Brooklyn, the battle- Indiana, Massachusetts ships Lowa, and Texas, besides the best of pro- tected cruisers and torpedo boats, This force is more than a mateh for the fleet Cervera can bring against it, ‘The detachment of the monitors will increase the speed of Sampson's fleet at least five knots, even to the battleships. This applies | Should the Spanish tleet be met and try to run away the Brooklyn and Minueapolis could overtake them aud hold thea in battle till the other ships come up. Washington, May 18—Notwith- standing the many and varied reports naval experts here believe Admiral Cervera with his whole fleet 18 steam- | ing for Cienfuegos, on the South} coast of Cuba, Should it steam for Havana direct’ it 1s liable to be met by the fleet of Commodore Schley, now off the Florida coast, under its fullest speed, with Key West as its first point of communication. It ts the probability that if Admir- al Cervera, with his fleet, left Cura~ coa with his direct destination Cien- fuegos, he will keep to the South of the Island of Jamaica, aud thus avoid Sampgpn’s fleet, It is an open question with some if Cervera cannot reach Havana before Commodore Sebley could reach it. From Curacoa to Havana is 1450 miles. Schley left Charleston Sun Jdey night at 6 o'clock, with {miles between hin and Key West It will take him 72 hours to reach Key West. ‘This would bring bin there about 4 or 5 o'clock this afier- noon, If the Spanish fleet | Havana under its strain of greatest | pressure it can make 400 miles a day, | The course it will probably travel ly ha Current’ which naval men say is 1s heading for di 400 miles a day, and assum- left Curacoa Sunday night at 6 o’elock, in three and a half days. This} woukl put it into Havana tomorrow about noon. If Schley reaches Key West at 5 o’elock this afternoon he would still huye eighty miles to steam to reach Havana. Under a 10-knot log this would bring him to Havana in eight hours or at one o'clock on Thursday morning, in time to head off the en- emy’s fleet eight or nine hours. In| view of such a close race the general conviction is that the Spanish fleet is making for Cienfuegos. heading for Havana it is taking the chanecs of meeting Schley and ready to give him battle. If Admiral Sampson should drop his monivors aud the destination of the Spanish fleet is Cienfuegos it is not improbable the come together northwest of the island of Jamaica this afternoon, From Cape Haytien, where Samp- son was reported Monday, to Cien- fuegos is about 650 miles. If he left there at noon Monday without the mouitors, under a 10-knot log be ean reach Cienfuegos on Thursday Go'clock. If the Spans with 950 miles t they ought to be at Cienfuegos Wednesday evening, 12 hours ahead of Sampson, The chance of their meeting would be an accident over- taking the Spanish fleet, always a contingency.
