Everybody knows now that Spain's flying sqund. ron, four splendid cruisers and two torpedo boat destroyers, Is Imprisoned In Santiago harbor. Speculation now Is over tho probablo disposition of tho Spaniards whether they will bo block aded or the forts reduced and the ves sels compelled to fight. In the latter case there can bo but one result, for Commodore Schley has sorao of tho finest ships In tho world, to say noth ing of cruisers and various smaller vessols, and could In a few days bo reinforced by other powerful warships. It would be foolhardlness on the part of Cervera to offor battle. An Interesting story remains to bo told of tho reasons which led Cervera to Santiago, and of tho way In which he was hemmed In. It Is now known that when tho Spanish admiral sailed for the West Indies he oxpected to enter San Juan de Porto Itlco for coal and supplies. On touching at Curacao for news his plans wero upsot by tho receipt of dispatches telling him that Rear Admiral Sampson had bombard ed tho San Juan fortifications, and was still In tho neighborhood of Porto Itlco. Thereupon Cervera sailed for the south coast of Cuba. Commodore Schley lured tho Span ish fleet Into Santlato bv n niso liv VOLUNTEERS FOR TAMPA. Special to Kveninci Herald. Chlckamauga Park, May 31. Tho greatest excitement prevailed In Camp Thomas yeBterday over a rumor that a genernl order had been Issued to nil troops In camp here to proceed at onco to Tampa. Kvery man seemed to bo glad, and there was n general hustling about In tho various camps, each man acting ns though ho expected to be or dered to pack his traps ou tho Instant to bo ready to move to tho front. Tho rumor, when traced to Us source, proved to bo only partly true, only eight regiments being affected by an order from tho war department, as fol lows: First Ohio, One Hundred and Fifty-seventh Indiana, Third Pennsyl vania, First Illinois, Second New York, Sixty-ninth Now York, Fifth Mary land and First District of Columbia. These regiments nro ordered to pro ceed at onco to Tampa, and the work of preparation began' last night. It Is understood that four of. tho regiments MOW!

They took the bait and ran Into tho harbor. Com modore Schley moved down Saturday morning, and at C o'clock, going close to tho harbor, ho saw tho Cristobal Colon, the Maria Teresa and two tor pedo boats. Ho believes tho ontlro fleet is there. Ho sat on the after triangle of tho Brooklyn until after the dis covery of the fleet, and he then went to breakfast, saying: "I have got thorn, and they will novor get homo." It Is certain that Cervera could not havo escaped from Santiago without being discovered, for the American scouts had been prowling about tho port for ten days, and other scouts had not been far away. Practically Santiago has been blockaded for that length of tlino. Corvera's coal ship, which followed him from Curacao to Santiago, was captured last Wednes day, and at tho very moment when tho queen regent was cabling her congrat ulations tho colls wero tightening about him. The bollof hero Is that all other movements' In tho West Indies will bo held In abeyance until tho Spanish squadron Is disposed of. In caso San tiago Is attacked the news of tho bat tlo will bo sent from Molo St. Nicolas and Kingston, and the prizes and wounded will bo sent to Key West. will leavo this afternoon' ami niu otlioi four tomorrow. Tho regiments ordered out are regarded ns tho best equipped and most thoroughly prepared of any in the camp. This order Is Interpreted by tho officers nud men ns an Indi cation that a speedy forward move ment Is to bo nuido on Cuba and Porto Itlco, and as a consequeuco there was as great rejoicing among tho volun teor soldier boys as there was among tho regulars when they wont to Tampu under tho impression that thoy wore going nt onco to Cuba. With thoso regiments that arrived yesterday tho tioops at tho park num bor 45,000. Tho regiments going away number 6,000.

PEHN A Child Following the Crowd struck By a Train and Fatally Mangled-It Died Four Hours LaUr lu Great Agony-Both Legs Were Crushed. Michael Coyle and Anthony Dean, two young men of Lost Cicok, visited town last ovenlng, and whilo in tlio snloou of William Ksncerius on West Centre street created such a disturbance that August Carls, 0110 of tho owners of tlio properly, had to go into the placo and try to restore order.
