WITH THE UNITED STATES ARMY,
five miles east Of Santiago de Cuba, June
80, noon, via Playa del Este, Province of
Santiago de Cuba, June 80, evening-The
American forces, now numbering nearly IT,
OVO men, still occupy position in a long
line five miles east of Santiago de Cuba, but
no forward movement has been made during
the past twenty-four hours owing to the
difficulty experienced in forwarding suffi-
cient supplies from the base at Juragua,
and the fact that it has not been possible
up to the present to send light artillery and
siege guns to the front from Baiquiri. Maj
General Shafter is at the front and conduct
ing the reconnaissance in person.
The town of Caney, which commands the
land entrance into Santiago de Cuba, lies
close to the Americans right wing, and will
probably be taken without difficulty soon
as it is held by only small guard OF Span
ish troops American scouting parties have
been within a thousand yards of Caney
without being attacked, and the roads in
that vicinity have been repaired and i'm
proved by our troops, indicating that artil-
iery will be moved in that direction. 1t is
believed that the investment of Santiago de
Cuba will follow the capture of Caney
There are about 5000 Cubans operating
with the American army at the front, and
the Spanish force defending Santiago de
Cuba is estimated at from 1900 to 10000
men. In addition, as already cabled, Cen
Pando, the Spanish military commander in
the field, is marching from Manzanillo,
some 127 miles west. with about 5000 men,
and, unless checked by the small force of
Cubans holding the mountain passes, he
ought to reach Santiago, in his efforts to
support General Hinares, in a few days.
Ihe American camps have been soaked
by the recent rains and the roads are in bad
condition, but our officers and men are con-
fldent they will be able to make general
attack soon, and that Santiago will fall be-
fore them.
The cable was placed in operation this
morning at Juragua, Altares and Slboney,
and communication is now open between
the invading army and washington

now. take the little village or Caney and oc-
cupy the ridge overlooking the city and
harbor, from which our artillery fire can be
rained on the Spanish intrenchments in
front of the city and on the large body of
Spanish soldiers holding them. 1t may be
that the Americans may be satisfied to ac-
complish this movement in one day and then
postpone further advance until the light
artillery and siege guns can Oe placed in
position on the ridge and preparations can
be made to pour deadly fire of shell and
shrapnel into the intrenchments, disiodging
the enemy and enabling the main body OF
the American forces to carry the city by
storm.

Lawton advances General Kent'S division.

Seacoast, four miles east OF MORO Castle,
which would give our army base much
nearer Santiago than the present one at
Juragua
Until to-day our men at the front have
been subsisting on half rations. but, owing
to the excellent work of Col. John F. Wes-
supplies have been sent to the front by pack
trains with great dispatch, all to-day and
tonight and our soldiers are no longer
in want of food. Though they have been
drenched with rain for several days, and
have been suffering from lack of sufficient
food. the spirit of. our soldiers is all that

hold
The Third and Twentieth Infantry, the
last regulars to remain at Juragua, went
to the front to-day, and the Thirty-third
Michigan and one battalion Of the Thirty
fourth Michigan will break camp early this
morning and Join General Kents division
on the seacoast. leaving nothing at Juragua
except supplies and large field hospital,
in charge of the chief surgeon of the corps,
prepared to attend the wounded who may
be sent there from the field hospitals at
the front. With our troops closing in on
at the gates of San .iago supported by the
great fleet of our war ships, lying just out
to demolish the Spanish shore batteries if
they attempt to stop the progress of our
army. the fall of the city of Santiago de
Cuba seems to be near at hand, and the
great majority of our soldiers, sleeping to-
night on the eve of events which are to
occur tomorrow, believe the American flag
will float over Santiago on the Nations
birthday, on Monday next.

cannot be more than 100,00O,C00 years
old. This is Lord Kelvin's estimate.
At the present rate the sun will con-
tinue from 100000 to 100000 of
