INSUFFICIENT COOPERATION.

Some Of the most satisfactory news OF the day

ippine Islands II is that the insurgents are ef
fectively cooperating with the United States
troops. or, II not strictly cooperating, they

thy with and Of assistance TO the Americans
In the Philippines they are gaining strength
daily, winning victories, taking many prisoners
and actually besieging Manila on the land side
1t Is even ntimated that they may capture that
city; but they will probably refrain from doing
so in Difference 20 the will Of Admiral Dewey

Calxto Garcia Is closing in upon Santiago and
giving the American troops an excellent oppor-

have made n vigorous attack upon the fortinca-
tons Of the city on Monday and, as the Span.
inrds themselves admit, TO have inflicted much
damage upon them. This Is especially impor
tant since Santiago seems to have been chosen
as the point Of American invasion. II was In
the Province Of Santiago that the Cuban revolu-
ton was begun. 1t Is there that It has been
most successful. The insurgents are reported to
be in full possession Of the entire province, with
the exception Of three or four fortified ports, of
which Santiago Is the chief. In that case they
ought to be able to make our invasion easy and
successful, and to make short work OF expelng
the remaining Spanish garrlsons.
This news. we have said, Is satisfactory. be-
cause 1t indicates that our forces will have val
liable assistance In prosecuting the war with
Spain to a triumphant close. 1t Is also satisfac-
sistence on the part Of the insurgents and an
increasing fitness for recognition as organized
belligerents and, in Cuba, perhaps as an indie
pendent Power. II Is the hope Of Americans
that Cuba Will prove capable of selfgovern-

TIE INVASION OF CUBA.

The opinion hitherto expressed in these col
umns that the first invasion Of Cuba would
probably be effected at or near Santiago Is ap-
parently verified. According to the best news
obtainable at this hour, such invasion has been
successfully effected The three forces-Army,
Navy and insurgents-are tremendously cooper
atng. The Navy, thanks to Commodore Schiey' s
CELEBRITY and astuteness, first trapped the Span
ish feet In Santiago HarhOr Next, through the
valor and genius Of Lieutenant Hobson 1T ef-
fect,ialfy closed the trap and fastened that fleet
In The third move was TO make vigorous at
tack by bombardment upon the forts and such
Spanish ships as were within reach. simulta-
neously with a most destructive assault by the
insurgents, under CalixtO Garcia. upon the land
ward defences Of the city. These operations
monopolized the attention of the Spanish fleet
and garrison. and left the coast clear for the
landing of the United States Army at Aqua
dores a spot on the coast about mile and
half east and at the rear OF the Moro Castle, at
the entrance to the bay Of Santiago, and four
miles from the city Of Santiago itself. II Is TO
be supposed that a strong force OF Americans Is
now encamped there, well equipped with guns
and munitions able TO hold its ground against
any attack from the MORO or the city. and
ready at an opportune moment to move VIC
toriously upon those Spanish stronghods. rail-
road runs northward from Aguadores to San
tiago and thence on to st. Luis, dozen miles
further. and also eastward along the coast for
seycp or eight miles, and then northward FIVE
miles to Quientuqui. II is probably not now in
operation, and 1t will not be needed by our
troops In their movement upon Santiago. The
Insurgents are In full control Of oil the country
around Santiago to within few miles OF the
city, and will, Of course, cooperate with our
troops In the sescand attack.
The wisdom Of this plan Of campaign Is EVIL
dent Santiago is the most important place In
the island east Of Matanzas Its fall will be
serious blow to the Spaniards. 1t will make
necessary the speedy evacuation Of the three or
four other towns held by them in the Province
of Santiago, ard thus give the eastern end OF
Cuba beyond Puerto Principe wholly into Amer
lean and insurgent hands. In oil the next prov
ince Puerto Principe and Nuevitas are the only
places held by the Spaniards. and their garri-
sons are small and unable to hold out against
such forces as can soon be led against them.
Their fall will deprive Spain Of all east Of the
Jucaro-Moron trocha-about half the island.
This effected. the blockade con readily be ex-
tended to all the remaining coast, and opera
tons be planned against Havana itself. And all
this win probably be effected with less effort
and less loss to the conquerors than have been
known In any other campaign Of equally impor-
mt resulta 1t will he observed. too. that this
