According to my authority, the features of the proposed alliance now being consid- ered are these Great Britain is to recognize the Monroe doctrine, to attempt no in- crease of her territorial possessions in the Western Hemisphere, and to in- dorse the American coustruction of that doctrine.

OMfiehst Report Receryed—When Digpateh Boat Left it Was Be- lig ed Schtey Was Preparing er the Harbor, GCERVENA WENT TO SANTIAGO FOR COAL. Commodore Schley is credited at the navy department with having performed a dating act in securing evidence of the presence of Cervera’s Squadron in Santiago in the face of the howling storm which has been raging off the Cuban coast during the last four days. He leaves no room for doubt. His report that he has seen the enemy is taken to mean that some officers and men of his squadron have penetrated either into the harbor or effected a landing and surveyed the harbor from the neighboring hills. Some promotions for merit and intrepidity are certain to be announced when te details of the circumstances surrounding the discovery are learned, With the reception of this, the most important newssince that which announced Dewey’s victory at Ma- nila, the cloud of gloom which has hung over the war and navy depart ments during the past week has lifted, _ The way is clear for the occupa- tion of Cuba and Puerto Rico.
