Washington, June e9--Generai pandu is
now within fifty-four miles OF Santiago de
Cuba and our advicos say that he is push
ing rapidly toward the city. His army con-
sists of about 5000 Spaninrds. There is a
strong possibility, however. that Major
General Shafter will capture Santiago be-
fore Pando can arrive at that place to ro-
iniorce the Spaniards. Such was The state
ment made this evening BY Major General
Miles. Secretary Algor has been informed
by General Shaftor that the American
forces can take the city of Santiago within
forty eight hours. When the attack on
the Spaniards begins General Shafter Will
send the loft wing Of his army against the
Moro. II is thought that the capture OF
MORO VIII be comparatively an easy task.
The American general has positive infor-
nation to the erect that the guns In that
stronghold are mounted IN such n manner
as to be useless In repellng land attack.
The cannon in MORO Castle can only be
brought to bear upon the channel leading
10 the city OF Santiago and upon the sea,
After General SKATER has raised the
American flag over MORO Castle immedi-
ately steps will be taken 10 remove the
| mines that are now planted in the channel.
AS soon as Admiral sampson Is assured
that his vessels viii run into no danger
from mines part of the American fleet will
Immediately proceed into the channel, Cen
eral Shafter depends greatly upon the
strength of his artillery to make the action
sharp and decisive.
Considering the fact that an army OF
5000 men left Tampa today to reinforce
General Shafter, and that there is large
force of artillery in this expedition, the
probabilities are that General Shaftcr Will
wait until the arrival OF these reinforce
ileuts before making the moiu attack upon
Santiago, He Will then have force OF
about rs coo TROOPS
Meanwhile II Is not expected that General
pnndo Will be able. even by making the
most rapid marches, 10 reinforce the Span
iards In Santiago
Steps are being taken to send the horses
belonging to the Rough Riders and the
command OF mounted riflemen. under COM
mand of Colonel Torrey. to Santiago. Thu

Washington June 29.-Secrotary Long
made public today an oxpurgated copy OF a
dispatch received Yesterday from Admiral
Dewey designed to convey the impression
that the government is we'll satisfied with
the condition Of affairs existing in the
Philippines. There are reasons for below
ing that the government is extremely APP
prehensive regarding the situation at
Manila, not so much because of the atti-
tude of Germany. rs because Of that when
has been assumed By the Insurgents. and
which, 1t is feared. is directly due 10 Ger
man influence. No reference is made, how
ever, TO the Information the authorities re-
ceived from Rear Admiral Dewey in this
bulletin issued today and dated at Cayite
June IS.
IL was stated at the navy department to-
day that in addition 10 this bulletin in
formation had been received from Rear
Admiral Dewey In regard 10 the aspirations
OF the insurgents for complete indepeud-
ence guaranteed by the European powers.
1t is apprehended that Agunaldo is too
this time and it is thought that he is
| simply sounding the Germans TO ascertain
what they are willing to do. France wou u
vigorously oppose the acquisition of the
| ISLANDS by the Germans or the establish
ment of a protectorate over them. pri-
marily because they would make an ad-
mirable base of operations against Cochin
China.
Comfort is taken by the authorities in
NJ mi . !, No..
respected the wishes of Rear Admiral
Dewey and although Manila is at his mercy
he has ordered no advance against Fl.
When the American reinforcoments arrive
the army will be taken ashore and Rear
Admiral Dewey will inform The foreign
warshps In the harbor that the American
troops are sufficient in number to preserve
order and that it Is unnecessary to land
marines. BY this means II is hoped that
foreign interference can be avenei.
IL Is known thar Rear Admiral Dewey.
like Rear Admiral Sampson before the
| arrival of General Skaters army, has re-
peatedy urged the authorities to send
| troops to his assistance. representing the
Importance Of the matter in enabling the
United States to avoid foreign compiled
tons.
In the meantime il will be Rear Admiral
Dewey's work to mine the harbor and pre-
pare as much as possible for the coming
of Admiral Camara's squadron.
1t is believed that the Charleston and
the three transports conveying 2500 men
have by this time reached Cavite, and
within the next three days a dispatch say
ing so is expected Before Camara can
arrive at Manila. the authorities say there
is no question that Rear Admiral Dewey
Will be reinforced by the monitors Mon
terey and the Monadnock the Charleston
and the 10000 troops now afoat.

was in sight. The stranger soon caught

discovered the American ship. She was

incc OF Havana. Amistad and Manuelita of
Coloma, province OF rinar del RIO and the
pilot boats Luz and Jacinto. IL is claimed
that when the sloops were sighted the
American ship hoisted the Spanish nag
which caused the pilot OF the Luz TO hoist
the Spanish flag believing he had TO do
with q Spanish warship.
The pilot also approached the American
vessel and did not find his mistake until
blank shot and afterwards loaded shells
were fred at tho pilot boat. The shells, 1t
Is claimed, exploded near her. The Amer

Yankee met the Spanisrd on June IL on
Cienfuegos and opened fire on her with the
result that the Ardilia was greatly dam
