| (SpectaL ro Tue Examiner] Wasninetoy, May 17.—Upon the result | of the naval operations off the West Iudies during the next ten days will depend largely the
duration of the w: y.
| Au immediate encounter and the Jestrucs | tion or serions defeat of the Spanish fheet will be followed

Cuba, and a whirlwind campaign by the land and sea forces for the conquest of the isiar id.
If the Islands cannot be invaded before two weeks, it is more than probable that | the land campaign will be postponed unti; next autumo.
The Navy Department refused to give out any infromation as to the whereabonts ofthe American flzet, or of the battleship

This action of the authorities gives rise to the beliefthat Sampson and Schiey’s squadrons are to combine off Venezuela and attempt the destruction of the Spanish fleet when it leaves the Gulf, nseantime intercepting its colliers,

A DIFFICULT SITUATION
What's to be done about it
Nuw Yor, May 14.—A despatch to the Worid from Berlin says:—A new pha-e has spruvg up fully armed, as Berlin news~ pepers proclaim, bringing to the nations of Europe consequences that cannot be fore - seen, but certain to be momentous.
Tne novel situation created by the American occupation of the Philippines is the sutject of the leading erticles in the jonroals. The articles may be summed up thus:—America musteither hold the Philippines or transfer thom to some European power.
Restoring them to Spain is impossible. It is equahly impossible thatthey should remain im the hands of the insurpeats. Signs are multiplying thut the people in authority in the United States will decide to retain the islands a8 an American por- session, notwithetanding the fact that this will entailupon the American people the necessity of maintaining a larger army and navy, and will bring nearer the danger of. embroglio: with European powers having | large interests in the east.
Eogland, Japan and Russia are the ouly possible competitors for possession should America withdraw, '
If England should become the owrer of the Philippines the United States would see that she gave vp her West [ndian poss sessions in exchange.
Russia and America have always been close friends, It is just possible tlat America may purchase Rassia’s coctiuued | triendship by checkmating England. |
This much, however, is certain: If the United States concedes anything to Silesia; they will incur instantly the hostility of England.
The whole situation is beset with diffe culties.
