Definite news from tlio American squadrons opera ting in Cuban waters has been received here fully confirming tho general sit uation outlined In those dispatches yesterday. Commodore Schley Is be lieved to bo oft Santiago de Cuba, and definite Information as to tho exact situation in so far as it affects Admiral Cervera's squadron may bo expected at any hour. Rear Admiral Sampson Is In a position to proceed quickly to tho assistance of Commodoro Schloy, with any or all of his ships, on receipt of definite word from Schley, 'nnd at tho same timo ho remains within striking distance of Havana. If, however, Commodoro Schloy re ports that Admiral Cervora is bottled up at Santiago de Cuba tho naval view Is that Schley will bo permitted to finish tho business at that point with the ships now under his direct com mond. After tho sailing of Rear Admiral Sampson's squadron, Commodore Schley's squadron having gone to tho south of Cuba a day or two boforo, there wore left at Key West 17 ves sels of war, these consisting entirely of converted tugs nnd auxiliary gun boats of small slzo, but consldorablo fighting power.

Admiral Sampson started east on the north ern coast of Cuba shortly after Schley loft Koy West. Sampson continued his course as far as tho old Ilahama Channel, near tho Windward Passago, and thcro learned that Schley had tho Spanish fleet bottled up at Santiago. Sampson accordingly ordorcd his fleet, then consisting of flftoeu vessels, back to Havana, and has probably reached thorc by this time. On Wednesday afternoon Sampson is known to have been otT Cayo Frangoso, speeding westward. During the timo that Sampson and Schloy left here they havo been in closo communication with tho naval authorities at Washington. Key West, May 27. A torpedo boat just arrivod bore from Cienfuegos with important despatches from Commodoro Schley, says last week several ships of tho latUr's squadron entered tho harbor of Cienfuegos, filled their bunkers with coal, and then le tired without drawing tho llro of the Spanish battorics. On tho day previous communica tion was established with tho insurgents and largo quantities of ammunition landed. their anchors nnd nffortllng tho sailor man happy prospects of a largo prize fund. The prizo vessels constltuto a licet almost as formldnblo as that now waiting at Port Tampa to carry the troops to Cuba, and In vlow of tho fact that those 27 transports can only ac commodate 15,000 to 20,000 troopn army men nre wondorlng if the Span ish steamers might not bo mado avail able for the purpose. Tho great problem now both at Koy West and Tampa Is that relating to the movement of troops. At Tampa there aro now about 15,000 regulars and many thousands of volunteers. There aro dally arrivals of troops at Tampa, Port Tnmpa and Lakeland, but some of tho volunteer regiments havo not yet received their comploto ac coutrements, though tho latter will Boon bo forthcoming. Tho southern portion of Plorldn Is beginning to realize how difficult a matter It Is to Bitpply tills great army of now residents with necessaries and comfoits.

Washington, May 27. licccnt naval move ments point unmistakably to a combined attack on Havana at an early dato by land and naval forces. Admiral Sainpon's war ships aro now in tho immediate viclnlly of Havana, bavin returned from his eastern eourso after learning that Schley had the Spanish fleet bottlod up at Santiago. Navy olllcials havo no doubt but that Ccrvera is bottlod up by Schley. If they had not positive information, Sampson would not, under Instructions, have returned to Havana. His return pitrangos an attack 011 tho furts at tho latter place augmented by an attack on land. Prompt and decisive blows aio to bo struck, and tho Invading army is to movo at onco. It can bo positively stated that Morro Castlo will bo bombarded, and tho attack on land and sou will bo continued un til Havana suricudcrx. When this is accomplished supplies will bo landed for tho starving Cubans. Admiral Sampson will then turn Ids utteutlon to Porto Itico, at which polut troops will bo landed to assist in tho attack and to hold tho port after it surrenders. During this timo Schley will have probably disposed of Admiral Ccrvora's ships and captmed Santiago. As outlined nbovo is tho plan adopted by tho navy and army official after a protracted conference. General Miles and his stall', together witli President McKinley nnd Socretary of War Alger, will review tlio troops at Camp Alger to-morrow. To-day's Cabinet mooting was devoted to tho consideration of tho program discussed at tho war confereuco yesterday. Tho government has chartered tho steamers China and Colon for the second expedition to Manila. SCHLEY TELEGRAPHS TO WASHINGTON. Special to Kvenino Herald. Now York, May 27.

Ouo of his scouts secured this positivo information from au insurgent sym pathizer. Schley nor none of his men havo seen tho Spanish fleet, becauso of tho high hills and tho bend in tho harbor entrance but they placo much reliance in tlio honesty of tho insurgents.
