SKATERS CAMPAIGN JUSTIFIED.

Boston, Mass. August 2s.-In an in.
terview with Journal representative at
York Harbor, Me-, today, Gen. Duffield,
who commanded the first brigade, third
division Of Gen. Shafter's army at San
tiago, said: "Gen. Shafter under-esti-
mated the lighting qualities of the Span
iards and his loss in battle was greater
than he had expected, think. But his
campaign was quick, decisive and sue
cessful and had he waited and moved
slowly. the men would have gotten sick
just the same and with thus broken
army it is doubtful if the campaign
would have been success. The haste
of the advance was responsible for the
loss, and the lack of medical and other
supplies. Still the loss is no greater than
it would have been from sickness any
way, and ii the blow had not been sharp
and quick, breaking the Spa nish morale,
we might have not taken Santiago yet.
