The first detachment OF troops to re-
lieve Dewey is expected to reach Manila
about the twentieth of June. Probably
its number will not be sufficient to begin
operations against the city, and it will
have to remain at Cavite under the
protection of Dewey's guns until detach-
1nents which are to follow arrive. L he
rebals, who at one time were supposed to
be strong enough to capture the city,
have, like the Cuban insurgents petered
out, and probably Manila will remain in
the hands of the Spaniards until our
troops get ready to take it. This is not to
be regretted. The capture of the city by
the insurgents would probably be fol-
lowed by massacre and plundering that
Dewey would be unable to repress, and
one result might be to seriously complicate
us with the Powers. Furthermore assis-
lance from the rebels would create an
obligation on our part which might prove
embarrassing when time for the final set

Before the war began the Cuban insur-
gents were represented to have consider

land, and to have control of all the terri

towns. If these representations were true
the insurgents have now an exceedingly
favorable opportunity to render us signal
assistance and strike telling blow for
free Cuba. Santiago is In the extreme
eastern end of Cuba, and in it's harbor is
believed to be lying Spain's powerful feet
of armored cruisers and torpedo boats,
while the entrance is guarded by our bat
tleships. The approaches to the harbor
are SO narrow that our ships cannot enter
to attack the Spanish squadron, wit hout
great risk of destruction from mines and
the shore batteries. 1t Is not believed

which our fleet could give in batteripg
