Fall Of thu Forts Op3rS the Way
For Sampson.

London. June s. a. ma dispatch to
the Daily Mail from Cape Haytlen says;
THE American victory at Santiago de
Cuba has cleared the way for the entrance
of Admiral Sampson and the destruction
of the Spanish fleet.
LAS Santiago's land defenses are report
ed weak it is likely that the city will yield
to a vigorous attack.
1T is reported that the commander of
the Reina Mercedes, second in command in
the Spanish fleet under Admiral Cervera
was killed during the engagement.
1.-THE combined American and insurgent
forces are entrenched near Daiquri with
guns mounted in preparation for a further
movement.
From Spanish sources comes a report
that a party Of Americans landed at Aqua
dores, but whether 1t Is true. or what the
result was is not known here"

Washington June 7-shortly after 7
O'Clock this evening information conhrma-
tory of the Associated Press dispatches
concerning the bombardment of the fortl-
ications of Santiago. reached the navy
department.
1t came in the form of a cablegram from
Admiral Sampson, which was made public
in the following bulletin:
Secretary of the Navy-Bombarded
forts at Santiago 7:30 to 10 o'clock a. M,
this morning, June 6. sllenced works
quickly without injury of any kind, though
within 1900 yards. Sampson"
While the officials of the navy depart-
ment declined to say definitely whether
the bulletin contained all the information
given in Admiral SIMPSONS cablegram,
there Is reason to believe that 1t did not.
The officials refused to discuss the subject
or vouchsafe further information than
was Losted on the bulletin board.
Only one additional point was elclted
by quest 'oning. That was the cablegram
contained no information about the land
ing Of either land forces or marines.
The information received from Admiral
Sampson was evidently quite satisfactory
to the naval officials. While they deciin-
ed to discuss the reason for, or the proba-
bic consequences of the bombardment
they We're thoroughly satisfied with the
results which ii accomplished
1t - pretty well understood that the
bombardnen. WAS for the purpose of paw
ing the way either for the landing of
troops or actually totcover the landing OF
marines and the regular troops presuma-
bly, already there
The dispatches by the Associated Press
from Spanish sources tonight indicate
that a landing was effected during, or
Immediately after the bOmbardment. This
Is regarded by naval authorities as en-
tirely reasonable. 1t is not believed that
Admiral Sampson, after having silenced
the forts, would leave them to be re-
habilitated by the enemy.
IL is deemed likely that he landed a suf-
ficient force OF marines 10 hold the ground
he had gained and to make preparations
for the landing of The regular forces upon
their arrival, If. indeed, some Of them are
not already at hand.
1t is not denied that every effort is maxi
ing 10 put the troops into Cuba at the
earliest possible momenN. and this after
noon it is believed, although no official
advces TO that effect We're at hand, that
the troops have been actually embarMng
at Tampa to-day and may get away to-
night. The reason for this belief Is found
in the admission by officials that the
troops have been under orders to embark
for some time past The difficulty that
presented itself was the absence OF abb
eolutely necessary supplies, which IN
most cases were stored away In some Of
the thousands of freight cars which
blocked the railroad tracks many miles
out from Tampa.
The orders that went forward yesterday
were of character to cause a speedy
breaking Of the deadlock, and IL the troops
now have their supplies, which Is believed

London, June 8. a. m.-The Hong Kong

Before opening an attack upon any

Leopodo Penia, Governor of Cavite who
handed me his sword revolver and golden
belt ana a formal letter of surrender
IAN American naval captain writes az
follows: In my opinion the rebels have
undergone radical change since the ad-
vent of Aguinaldo. The Spaniards have
lost all during the time he has been
here and If our people don't hurry there
won't be any Spanish army left at the end
of the fight
"The American ships have taken no part
In the fighting. Neither boats nor men
have been landed and statements to the
contrary are false. Dispatches from Ma
Mia say that Aguinaldo is doing splendid
work.

following he took over fifty prisoners and
four field pieces In a battle at point be-
