Washington. Nov. 26. The annual re port to the president of the aecretary of the navy, John I. Long, was madi public last night. The report containt a compact narrative of the operation of the navy during the war with Spain, abstracts of the reports of bureau chiefs and the secretary's recommenda tions for the increase and the improve ment of the navy. Mr. Long begins: " Since my last annual report the navy has, for the first time since ita rehabili tation, been put to the supreme test of war. Years of patient, persistent training and development had brought it to a point of high efficiency, which re sulted in the unparalleled victories at Manila and Santiago victories which have given the names of our naval commanders worldwide fame and add ed an additional page to the glorious nav'aUhistory of our country." Speaking of the sinking of the Maine in Havana harbor. Secretary Long says: "After an exhaustive examination of the wreck and after taking the testi mony of witnesses and of experts the board reported on the 21st of March that the Maine had been destroyed by the explosion of a submarine mine, but that it was unable to fix the responsi bility upon any person or persons. It was evident that the cause of the dis aster must have been from the out side." After referring at length to the prep arations for the war with Spain, the victory of Admiral Dewey at . Manila, the blockading of Cuban ports, the voy age of the Oregon and other now his toric naval incidents, Secretary Long gives in detail the naval movements which resulted in the destruction of Admiral Cervera's fleet: "On May 19 the flying squadron, com posed of the Brooklyn, Texas, Massa chusetts and Scorpion, under command of Commodore Schley, sailed from Key West for Cienfuegos with instructions to establish a blockade at that dace as IS. IVU every as possible. a chance to get the Best and Cheapest Paper in the State To agents who want to make money, and who will really work in a com munity where they are known, We Give a Good Commission, That will pay them better than any thing else they can paper will offer to liberal commission, sire to act as agents do. No other agents a more Those who de must show that they least are in earnest by sending at One Subscription tor I Year, or 5 Subscriptions for 3 Months, And ONE DOLLAR to pay for same, On May 20 the Iowa, Castine and the collier Merrimac sailed to join Commo dore Schley's squadron off Cienfuegos. On this day the department informed Admiral Sampson of a report that Cer vera's squadron was at Santiago de Cu ba and advised him to order Commo dore Schley to proceed off that port with the vessels under his command. Sam iMn Leaven Key Writ. "Admiral Sampson left Key West for the Havana blockade on the 21st, hav ing previously sent theDupont with dis patches to Commodore Schley and or dered the Marblehead and Eagle to join the flying squadron. By the Marblehead orders were sent to Commodore Schley advising him that the Spanish squadron was probably at Santiago de Cuba and directing him, if he was satisfied that it was not at Cienfuegos, to proceed with all dispatch to Santiago de Cuba and upon ai rival there to establish com munication with some of the inhabit ants and ascertain definitely whether the ships were in port or not. The HawL followed with duplicate dispatches, which were delivered to Commodore Schley on the 23d. "On May 22 Admiral Sampson receiv ed a dispatch from Key West stating that Cervera's squadron was in the har bor of Santiago de Cuba on the morning of the 21st and also a telegram from the department that it was expected to visit San Juan, Porto Rico, and If Commo dore Schley found that It had left San tiago he should follow it. "At 8 a. m. on the morning of the 23d Admiral Sampson left off Havana, sail ing eastward, with a view to occupying Nicholas channel in such manner as to prevent the approach of the Spanish squadron In that direction. The Mont gomery joined him on the 24th with dispatches stating that information had been received to the effect that Cervera's squadron had not left San tiago. "On the 26th Admiral Sampson re ceived from Commodore Schley a letter dated May 23, stating that he was by no means satisfied that the Spanish Bquadron was not at Cienfuegos and that he would, therefore, remain off that port with his squadron." Mr. Long makes reference to the re ports of secret intelligence agents In Havana as follows: "The Wasp was sent on May 27 to carry advices to Commodore Schley, in forming him that dally confidential re ports received at Key West from Ha vana stated that the Spanish squadron had been In Santiago de Cuba from the 19th to the 25th, Inclusive, and direct ing him to proceed with all possible dispatch to that port." The report continues: "At this time two telegrams dated Cienfuegos, May 24, were received by ScKley to remain on the blockade at Santiago at all hazard. auminr that the Spanish vessels were In that port. This order further directed that the col lier Sterling should be used to obstruct the channel leading Into the harbor and that in the meantime the utmost care should b exercised that none of the Spanish vessels In that port be allowed to escape. Admiral Sampson arrived at Key West on May 28 and cabled Com modore Schley, advising him that the New Orleans would meet him off San tiago on May 29 with important dis patches and further emphasizing the Importance of Immediate communica tion with persons ashore in order to ascertain definitely whether or not Cer vera's squadron was In the port of San tiago. "Commodore Schley left Cienfuegos on the evening of the 25th and at 5:30 p. m. on the 2Cth reached a point 20 miles or more to the southward and eastward ot Santiago, where the squadron stopped while repairs were- made to the collier Merrimac. At ;50 p. m. he signaled to the squadron: 'Destination Key West, via south side of Cuba and Yucatan channel, as soon as collier Is ready. Speed nine knots. About 8 p. m. the squadron got under way and. after steaming to the westward until 11:20 p. m., stopped to make repairs to the , . laie. Orders Carried by the Harvard. "On the morning of the 27th the Har vard, from Mole St. Nicholas, delivered to Commodore Schley the following dis patch: "Proceed at once and inform Schley and also the senior ofllcer present off Santiago as follows: All department's information indicates Spanish division is still at San tlago. The department looks to you to ascertain facts and that the enemy. If therein, does not leave without a decisive action. Cubans familiar with Santiago say that there are landing places five or six nautical miles wst from the mouth of harbor and that there insurgents probably will be found and not the Spanish. From the surrounding heights can see every vessel in port. As soon as ascertained no tify the department whether enemy is there. Could not squadron and also the Harvard coal from Merrimac leeward oft Cape Cruz, Gonaives channel or Mole Haiti? The department will send coal im mediately to Mole. Report without delay situation at Santiago de Cuba. "At 11 a. m., two hours after receiving this dispatch from the department. Com modore Schley signaled to the squad ron: 'Can you fetch into the port of Key West with coal remaining? Reply by signal.' At noon the Harvard left, car rying his reply to the department's dis patch, as follows: "Merrimac's engines disabled; is heavy; am obliged to have towed to Key West; have been unable absolutely to coal the Texas, Marblehead, Vixen and Brooklyn from collier, all owing to very rough sea; bad weather since leaving Key West. The Brooklyn alone has more than sufficient coal to proceed to Key West; cannot re main off Santiago present state squadron coal account. Impossible to coal leeward Cape Cruz in the summer, all owing to southwesterly winds. Much to be regret ted, cannot obey orders of department. Have striven earnestly; forced to proceed for coal to Key West by way of Yucatan passage. Cannot ascertain anything re specting enemy positive. Very difficult to tow collier to get cable to hold. "Later in the day, the squadron mean time having again moved westward, the signal 'Stop' was made to the flying squadron, after which the Texas and Marblehead went alongside the Merri mac and coaled. The squadron was at that time distant about 40 miles to the southward and westward of Santiago. "The flying squadron remained here until 1:12 p. m. of the 28th, when signal was made to return in the direction of Santiago. This course was kept until a little after dark, when the squadron stopped for the night about ten miles to the southward of Santiago, with the Marblehead scouting two miles Inside the squadron. Cervera's Fleet Located. view having been prearranged between General Shafter and Admiral Sampson, the latter In the flagship New York left the fleet for Fiboney. When the flagship was about four miles east of her blockading station and about sev en mile from the Morro. the Spanish squadron waa seen steaming out of the harbor entrance. This was at :30 a. m. The vessels of the blockading eciuadron wete. as usual. In their decimated oo.l- tlona. making a semicircle about the harbor entrance, counting from the eastward, in the following order: In diana.

The Gloucester and Vixen lay to the eastward and westward of the har bor entrance, close to the land. The torpedo boat Ericsson was la company with the flagship. "Admiral Cervera's squadron came out of the harbor in the following or der: Infanta Maria Teresa, Vizcaya, Cristobal Colon, Aimlrante Oquendo and the torpedo boat destroyers Pluton and Furor. The New York turned and steamed for the escaping fleet, flying the signal to close in toward tbe har bor entrance and attack the vessels, but our ships had already, in accordance with standing orders, at once engag ed the Spanish ships with the utmost spirit and vigor, and in the couroe of a running fight, which continued until 1:20 p. m., the latter were completely destroyed and sunk, and the famouii victory, with its splendid credit to of fleers and men, ws won." Auxiliary Furee Trained. The secretary commends the officers and men of the auxiliary naval force that patrolled the coast and the work of the coast signal service. He gives a list of auxiliary vessels bought for the government, the former owners and the prices paid. The force of enlisted men allowed by law prior to the outbreak of the war was 12.500. On Aug. 15. when the enlisted force reached its maximum. there were 24,123 in the service. Mr. Long concludes that section of the report entitled "The War" thus: "The department feels, in contemplat ing the vast amount of work necessary to the successful operations of the navy during the last year, that the country, as well as the service, has cause for congratulation in the results which have followed and which have been so generally approved and in the further fact that no personal feeling has arisen to mar the glorious victories and mag niflcent work of the service."

At 10 a, m. Commodore Schley cabled that Cervera's squadron was at Santiago. On the morning of the 31st, with the Mas sachusetts, Iowa and New Orleans, he exchanged fire with the ships Inside the harbor and the forts at a range of about 7,000 yards. "On June 1 Admiral Sampson arrived off Santiago and found Commodore Schley's squadron in column to the westward of the mouth of the harbor. Immediately upon the concentration of these two forces at Santiago a close and efficient blockade was established, Ad miral Sampson In command. The har bor wfes closely guarded day and night by our ships in a semicircle. Powerful searchlights were thrown upon its en trance during the dark. A plan of at tack, by which our vessels were to close In at once upon any of the enemy's com ing out. was provided for in standing or ders. On June 3 an attempt was made to close the harbor by sinking across its entrance the collier Merrimac This at tempt, though unsuccessful In Its object. was daringly executed." After an account of the bombardment of Morro castle and the Santiago shore batteries at Santiago, the secretary says: "On July 1. in accordance wuh a re quest from General Shafter of June 30, the forts at Aguadores were bombard ed and a demonstration made against the forts at the entrance of the harbor, which were heavily bombarded, espe cially the Punta Gorda battery, by the Oregon and Indiana. Sampson and Shafter. "A report of this bombardment was sent to General Shafter, and Admiral Sampson stated that It was impossible to force an entrance to the harbor un til the channel could be cleared of mines. which could only be done after the forts at the entrance of the harbor were tak en by our troops. General Shatter replied that it waa not possible to say when he could take the batteries at the harbor's mouth and urged that an effort be immediately made by the navy to force an entrance, Admiral Sampson wrote to General Shafter that the forts which had been bombarded by the squadron could not Inconvenience the army in capturing the city, as they could not fire except to seaward; that, as the channel to the harbor was strewn with observation mines, an effort to force an entrance would result in the sinking of one or more naval vessels and in closing the entrance to the harbor, but that If it was desired the navy should attempt to force the entrance he would at once pre pare to undertake it. althoue-h ho had cal fraternity.

Santiago, Nov. 26. Some time ago Major McLeary, whom General Leonard Wood had appointed mayor of Santiago, requested to be relieved of his moyoral- ty duties and to return to his military post. This request was granted yester day. In the opinion of General wood It is preferable to appoint to the mayor alty a civilian acceptable to the Cubans, and he has appointed as Major McLoa- ry's successor Senor Bacardi, an old res ident. He is anxious to give the mayor alty as much authority as is compatible with military Jurisdiction. The new mayor will conform to General Wood's Ideas, which are to give the Cubans ev ery opportunity to show themselves capable of self government. The first official act of Mayor Ba cardi was the discharge of the entire clerical force in the mayor's office, who are Spaniards, and the employment of a staff of Cubans who had served In the war. He will shortly issue a manifesto to the effect that he intends encouraging the city's development and giving em ployment, so far as conditions will per mit, to worthy persons. The fresldemt mm Nla Adviser I laat talbl!aS mi the Ksaalards Mast kind Cable Heaaaae at tm Oar CaaUl.era. Washington. Nov. It. A special meet ing of the cabinet was held at the White House last night. It hurriedly call ed. and at 10 o'clock all the members of the cabinet, excepting Secretsry Long, who is out of town, had reached tbe White House. The meeting lasted 40 minutes only. Cabinet ufflcers aald that they were not at liberty to go into details as to the reason for the meeting. but it Mas admitted that the rail bad bevn sent nut by the prld-nt be- litu-se he had lertived a dlrpatch from the American commission In Paris con cernitig a matter on which he thought it advisable not to act until he had se cured the opinions of bis official ad via ers. It was learned that a point had been ratted in th message on whk h the American peac commissioners re quired advice, and it was deemed best to dispose of th matter Immediately so that the commissioners could have the president opinion before them today. As a result of the meeting a dispatch was sent from the White House lo th American commissioners in which the president directed them to stand firm on their original instructions. In other words, the president and his cabinet decided not to modify or change the de mands and concessions contained in the memorandum presented to the Spanish commissioners by their American oppo nents on Saturdjy last. While official conlii mat Ion ubs quent to the adjournment of tbe cabinet m.-ct ing Is lacking, information obtained from a cabinet officer earlier in the day Indicated that the only wint that was likely to cause trouble to the success rui accomplishment of the intentions of the I'nited States concerned the amount, of indemnity offered to the Spaniards in compensation for ixTiria- nent "pacific" improvements in the Philippines. Mounded Pride Will Be Healed. It was said by this official that wound ed Spanish pride would probably be healed if the United States advanced the price it was willing to pay for the Improvements made by Spain. He Indi cated that on all other matters at Issue between the two commissions in con nection with the Philippines Spain would probably assent to the prox.si tlons of the American commissioners. The message from the American com missioners contained a new sot of prop ositions submitted by the. Spaniards. The main proposal of the Spaniards was an offer to exchange an island in the Carolines for one of the Philippine group, so that Spain could maintain a foothold in the Philippine archipelago. It did not take the president and the cabinet long to dispose of this surpris ing offer, and the others were rejected likewise in short order. The dispatch sent from the While House after the meeting directed Mr. Day and his colleagues to decline to en tertain any and all of the Spanish pro posals and to insist on Spain's accept ance of the American demands. The mes sage from Paris said there would prob ably le a meeting of the Joint commis slon today, and the American commis sioners wanted to be able to answer the new proposals then. It is expected by the president and the cabinet that at today's meeting of the joint commission will come the crucial test. After the cabinet meeting last night a strong hint was given that the United States could not accept the Spanish proposition to exchange an island In the Philippines for one in the Carolines for the reason that this government con templated the purchase of the entire CaroVne group.

All four companies of the Second regiment, volunteer en gineers, which arrived off Marianao beach on board the United States trans port Florida, were landed yesterday at the Marianao wharf, with colors flying. They formed at the landing place and marched straight for their camp, two miles away, filing past General Greene and his staff, who, on horseback, re viewed the men as they passed. All the men, with the exception of five, who are still suffering from seasickness and were taken to the camp by train, were in line, and all are In good spirits and fit for duty. One hundred and fifty Cu bans of General Menocal's division were employed in clearing the camp site, and by 11 o'clock the tents were being pitch ed for the first American camp at Ha vana. She Had Her Revenare. Scranton, Pa., Nov. 26. Miss Marga ret Moore, who deserted Timothy Foley at the altar of St. Catherine's church last week after the marriage service had proceeded beyond his vow, was married to him yesterday. The cere mony took place yesterday morning at the home of a friend of Miss Moore, and the Rev. Richard H. Walsh, pastor of St. Catherine's church, who partly offi ciated last week, tied the knot. The difficulty was a desire for revenge on the part of Miss Moore because Foley courted, wooed and then disappointed her some years ago. but this was all overcome, and the bride finally gave her full consent, promise and agreement to be Foley's wife and love and cherish him till death shall part them. Early In the week the American com missioners in Paris presented to the Spanish commissioners what was prac tically an ultimatum, embracing these alternatives: First To accept a sum of money from the United States and to cede and evac uate the Philippines, the amount named being $20,000,000. Second To lose the Philippines to the United States by conquest, with the possibility of other territorial losses to Indemnify the United States for the added expense of conquest.
