a preconcerted movement capture the pris-

say the process of law Is too slow and
costly. Sheriff Smith says Storms will have
a militia guard when he returns. and any
attempt to take him will only result in
the shedding of innocent blood.

Commodore Schley's flying feet has
been joined by the squadron under
Admiral Sampson and they are before
Santiago. A battle is expected daily.
The entire force under Admiral Samp-
son embraces sixteen ships in
cluding the battleship Oregon,
Iowa, Massachusetts, and Texas, the
armored cruisers Brooklyn and New
York, the protected cruisers New Or
leans, Mablehead, Minneapolis and
Nashville, torpedo boat destroyer scor-
pion, the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius,
the torpedo boat Porter, the auxiliary
gunboat Eagle and the auxiliary cruis-
ers Harvard and Yale.
1t is believed that this will be the de-
decisive blow. The Spanish ships bot
tied in the harbor and they are doomed.
Some 5000 or 1000 insurgents are back
of the hills ready to assist in the land
attack. Food at Santiago is SO scarce
that the officials have scant fare. The
people are desperate.
