Campaign prospects in Cuba as fleet blocks harbor
From Santiago de Cuba the U S Navy under Rear Admiral Sampson and Commodore Schley has breached southern coast defenses and trapped Admiral Cervera. The Merrimac wreck blocks the channel guarding the harbor while ships cover the entrance. Cable-cutting boats secure 35 miles of coast east of Santiago including Guantanamo harbor. An invasion of eastern Cuba by land and sea appears possible with Cervera's fleet annihilated and province seized after a brief campaign.
