Details of the Siege

WASHINGTON, June 29.-General Shat
ter In his dispatches gives the details OF
the transfer of Garcia's forces. He says
the transfer from Acerraderos covered so
miles and that 5000 of Garcia's troops were
landed on the right of the harbor, making
in all over 1900 Cubans concentrated with
the American troops on the right of the city.
He does not mention specifically whether
any Cubans are on the left, but the infer
ence Is plain from his detailed report that
most If not all of them accompanied Gar
cha in the transfers. This move was doubt
less made before word had reached General
Shafter that the Spanish reinforcements
were "a miles to the left of Santiago, else
It is felt that General Garcia's forces would
have been kept on the left to hamper the
advance of the Spaniards, and If possible
to hold them back. Whether this can be
done now is problematicaL From the fact
that General Smarter reports that he will
take the city as soon as he can get ready
to move and not wait until reinforcements
reach him. 1t is evident that he wishes to
strike the blow before there is time for the
Spanish troops from Manzanilo to reach the
city.
General Skaters various dispatches also
contain much information on other features
Of the military situation. He expresses the
warmest thanks for the congratulations
sent to him by the President through Sec
retary Alger, and those Of the commanding
general, General Miles, though he modestly
refers TO the recent affair in which this
rough riders and cavalrymen participated
As unimportant. He says only GAG Of oul
men were engaged. but 1t was very decisive
lin our favor, the enemy retreating preclpi-
K tately. General Shafter says that the lacl
Of cavalry was all that prevented the CAP.
tiife Of the Spanish forces. He expressed
Y the deepest regret at the loss of SO many OF
our brave men, In a vein of ridtcuie he
refers to reports reaching him from San

WASHINGTON, June 20, 1:2O p. m.-Gen.
Shafter has just reported to Gen. Miles
that he can take Santiago in. forty-eight
hours, but indicates that the undertaking
might involve considerable loss. He is fully
aware of the approach of Spanish REIN
