filled with pity and horror. There are other
dangers In this life a thousand times greater
than that of the railroad wreck only we do
not have them brought so forCibly to our

hundred people at once in one train. It
does kill tens of thousands for every one

the view of landing them there. But
the heavy sea beating on the beach
made it impossible to get the boats
through the surf.
Dispatches of Gen. Linares which
have been captured, indicate that the
Spaniards were ordered to retreat to-
ward Santiago de Cuba.
The Cubans expect the first stand to
be made at Savilla and they have prov

A Cablegram from Admiral Sampson to the
Navy Department Yesterday
Brought the Welcome News.
This News With the Definite knowledge That Ameri-
can Dead Had Not Been Mutilated, Raised
Weight Of Anxiety-No Word Of a Battle Between
Skaters Men and the Spaniards.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Admiral
Sampson Is now in constant and prac-
tically immediate cable communica-
ton with the Navy Department. Six
dispatches were received in rapid sue
cession through the early hours of this
morning, the last one bringing the sit
uation up to IL o'clock last night. They
showed that only half hour elapsed
between the filing of the message by
the Admiral and the receipt of it in
Washington, so that the authorities
here are now assured of being only
a half hour behind the actual devel-
opments at the scene Of action
The only message bearing on the
general situation was one in which Adj
miral Sampson said that under a flag
of truce he learned that Hobson and
his men were WELL and had been re-
moved from Moro Castle to the city
of Santiago, four miles distant This
lifted weight of anxiety as to the
condition of this brave band of he
roes, for since the recent lombard
ment, in which Moro suffered some
what, there has been uncertainty as to
whether Hobson and his men were
dead or alive, although it has never
been seriously believed the Spaniards
would expose these men to such dam
gers is to lead to their death. The
dispatch was further re-assuring in
that it made clear that Adriral Samp-
sons assault upon the harbor en-
trance, to which Moro is the main de-
Tense. would not be crippled by hav-
ing the fire kept away from that forti-
fication in order to protect Hobson. 1t
leaves the result of such an attack
open to the usual conditions Of war.
and not to the unusual and cruel de-
vice which it was feared had been re-
sorted to. of preserving Moro by ex-
posing Hobson.
This action. coupled with the report
of the naval surgeons that our dead
marines were not mutilated. conveys
a sense of relief to the authorities

7 a. m-The advance of the Amer
lean army has reached the edge of
the tablet and in which the harbor
of Santiago de Cuba lies. Here,
seven miles from MORO Castle, as
the crow flies, the main body of the
troops has united and the Spani-
ards are in full retreat toward San
tiaso de Cuba. They attempted
surprise, but decisive engagement
is not expect for several days.

miles beyond, and the American flag
was hoisted there.
The Spaniards retired before the
advance, which was covered by
Cuban skirmishers, burning the
block houses as they went.
Colonel Wagner, with a small re-
connaisance party of about forty
men, brushed against the flank OF
retreating Spanish column two
hundred strong, at FirmeZas. A
dozen shots were fired by the Span
i2rds, as Colonel Wagner fell back.
Before General Lawton could bring
up the Twenty-second, the van regi-
mont the Spaniards had decamped
westward.
Juragua was Abandoned by Gen
eral Linares and 1920 Spanish
troops with such haste that they
had no time to burn the town,
though an Intellectual effort was
made to destroy the locomotives Of
the railroad and the rolling stock.
General Linares retreated to Sevilla,
six miles west of Juragua by road
and nine miles from Santiago de
Cuba.
A detachment OF ITO Cubans, I'M
der Colonel Aguirra, collided with
the Spanish rear guard. The Gu
bans lost two men killed and had
seven men wounded. The Spanish
loss is not known. One Spaniard
was macheted.
