SAMPSON MAY ENGAGE CERVERA
 THIS MORNING

NEW YORK, July 2.-The Washing ton correspondent of the Herald tele- graphs: Official Washington is appre- hensive that the occupation of the for tifications defending the harbor of San tiago is proving more difficult than has been expected. It was of the utmost importance that these Notifications should be captured before the final as- sault is made on the city. The Span ish troops in Santiago are assisted in their work of resisting the invaders just as the American troops would be If fighting the enemy under the guns of Rear Admiral Simpsons. feet
 The destruction of the defenses is absolutely necessary in order to take the city without enormous loss and de- stroy Cervera's ships. It can be ac- complished only by American men-of- war which will be debarred from the harbor as long as Spanish troops hold Morro Castle and Estrella battery.
 This represents the situation as viewed by the war authorities. It is reported the massing of General Duff fields brigade near Aguadores is in pursuance of a plan of campaign which is being followed by General Shafter. Evidently General Duffield's troops have been chosen to assault Morro Castle and carry it by storm.
 The operations of this brigade are likely to be handicapped by the action of the Spaniards in destroying the rail- road bridge crossing Guama River which was aC -omplished, according to an official dispatch from Rear Admiral Sampson, notwithstanding the hot fire maintained by the American warships. The stream will have to be bridged by the engineers with the brigade, and when troops are over it, their work against Morro Castle will be undoubt- edly unde1 heavy fire from the bat teries which the Sraniards have erect ed to defend the fortress.
 It is hoped b. the authorities General Duffield's brigade has carried out this feature of the programme and that the capture of Morro Castle has been or will soon be effected. In this event, as was explained this morning, Rear Ad- miral Sampson will send out small boats to destroy or raise the mines
 It is evident to the officials might that the capture of the city will not occur before Monday at the earliest Rear Admiral Sampson's ships may be able to enter the harbor Sunday morn ing and in that case he may be able in a few hours to engage and it is hoped sink Cervera's ships.
 When this has been accomplished the American armorclads and the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius will take a position in front of the city and fire upon the Spanish positions while the troops as- sault the city on land. It is understood in official circles that General Shafter will take advantage of the intervening time to station his troops so as to prac- tically surround the city and thus cut off the escape of General Linares' com mand.

 SIBONEY, Province of Santiago de Cuba, July 1, 8 D. m., via Playa del Este July 2.-At this hour the fighting continues. The entire reserves of the American army have been ordered to the front at once, apparently with the intention of forcing our way to San tiago de Cuba. The troops have ad- vanced nearly to the city but the for tifications are very strong. Our losses are heavy.
 An officer from the field estimates our killed and wounded .at 1000 men, Shells, supposedly from the Spanish fleet, did heavy execution among our troops.
 During a Hull In the fighting an im- pressive incident occurred. The Twenty-first Infantry was out in front and suffering loss from the Spanish fire, but the men sang "The Star spangled Banner" even the wounded joining in the singing.

PLAYA DEL ESTE, July At day break Lawton's troops were at Villa GurOn and moving toward Santiago. They had taken Caney at o'clock yes- terday at great expense. Chaffee sur rounded the village, which is situated on hill protected by fort and block houses. Capron's battery, at a dis tance of 2500 yards, demolished the forts tower and brought the flag down.
 The enemy's sharpshooters in trees and steeples were hard to find on ac- count of their using smokeless powder. A charge was ordered. The Twenty fifth and Twelfth undertook it.
 They formed 400 yards from the fort and ran cheering against a volley fire. many falling.
 When they were but fifty yards away the enemy fled, leaving forty dead. The ruined, blood-spattered fort and block houses were taken.
 Forty Spanish were killed and 300 sur rendered. Their commander gave his sword to General Ludlow, while the women of the village wept over the wounded.
 The Americ- s lost 100 dead and POO wounded. They proceeded supperless toward Santiago, but were exhausted and rested until dawn, three thousand Cubans preventing the retreat of Li- nareS

 It is understood the navy will make a demonstration in front of Aguadores. The plain over which the troops will maneuver is abo't two miles long and two miles wide; quickly: covered with great bushes, vines and cacti. The trails through it are very narrow. It is with difficulty that two men can walk. abreast cons equently the 'ad- vance on Santiago will be slow.
 There is no intention to rush the city tomorrow, but to occupy the ob- jective point, which is the town of San Juan, and so to threaten the city with in quarter of a mile Of it's walls.
