The .prologue has been spoken,' and the curtain is about to rise, on ,the first act of 'tho drama. This is the unwavering opinion of ".naval men, . here. Dewey's brilliant achievement at Manila is regarded s a separate episode.- San Juan is already a memory; and the s.poradic encounters along the Cuban coast, are accepted as merely preliminary skirmishes, tentative rather than decisive. The meetinfof two great hostile fleets is the pivot upon which the situation turns; -and that a few days, perhaps hours, jyrill bring tiiem together is the 'universal;: view hercf at 'the base of operations. ' :' j ' j . This view Is confirmed by the news that Admiral Oevera's squalron- 1 has reached Santiago de: Cuba.
