with Sampsons plan of blinding the Spanish to the real landing place by an indiscriminate shelling of the coast for twenty miles east and west. this scheme worked admirably so far as the American troops are concerned, as was evident by their landing without the loss of man. It is suspected, however, that the Cubans have had to pay for this exemption on the part of the Americans, and the engagement de- scribed in the Spanish dispatches was really between the Cubans and the Spaniards, far back in the rear, instead of between the Americans and Span- iards. Seeing that the Cubans, who were almost without clothing. have been literally supplied by Sampson and Shafter, it is conceivable that the Spaniards might easily mistake them for American soldiers at a little dis tance. The news coming from Jamaica that General Pando is sending heavy re-enforcements to the Spanish General Linares, in Santiago, is likely to have the effect of hastening the campaign against that town by the Americans Pando has 10000 soldiers at Holguin, less than 100 miles from Santiago. They are the pick of the Spanish army in Cuba, and their commander is known as the fighting general. Were they to combine with the Spanish force in San tiago the American campaign would be very much prolonged and the task set for our troops would be much heavier. Two factors have been relied upon to prevent this com bination. The first is the very rough nature of the country between Hol- guin and Santiago, whi h would be ex- ceedingly difficult for troops to cover in less than four or five days at the earliest.
 The second is the active efforts of the Cubans to harass the Spaniards on the march and retard their movements. With the force they now have in that country the Cubans could do this very effectually, but they could scarcely ur- dertake to absolutely check the whole Spanish force of 10000 men.
 The reports from Santiago indicate that the Spaniash admiral is using his squadron exactly as was anticipated, to defend the town from attack hy soldiers in the rear. This only en- pbasizes in the mind of army officers the necessity for speedy action on the part of the invaders, for with Pandos men to re-enforce the garrison and Cervera's squadron in full play the Spanish would be, from military point of view, much stronger than the combined force of Americans under Shafter and Cubans under Garcia and Rabi.
 It is believed that considerable reli- ance must be placed upon the American siege train, for as soon as the heavy guns are in place on the crest of the hills 1t Is expected the position of the l Spaniards below will be exposed to e

heavy fire and they will be obliged to either surrender or make a desperate attempt to escape from Santiago har- bor.
 No official news came to the War De- partment during office hours from our army near Santiago. This was cause for mild surprise at the department, as General Shafter has a cable at his com mand and it was expected he would re- port the measure of success he has at- taned in the debarkation of his army on Cuban soil and the beginning of operations against Santiago.
 Not hearing from him, the officials were obliged to rely for information entirely upon press reports. They found these highly satisfactory. Sec retary Alger expressed particular grat- ification at the news that the troops had reached point within seven miles of Morro Castle without encountering serious resistance. The direction taken by the troops after their landing at Baiquiri-trending generally westward -is taken in some quarters here to in dicate purpose to unite with Samp- sons fleet in an attack on Morro Cas- tie and the other forts at the entrance of Santiago harbor before turning their attention to the town itself. Once the forts are captured Sampson with small boats could reach the mines, and if, as reported the Merrimac does not com- pletely obstruct the channel some of the battle ships may be sent in to deal with Cervera's squadron in its last re- sort. Something of this kind is believed to be necessary in order to relieve our troops from the fire of the Spanish i fleet when they attack Santiago di- rectly. One or two of the big battle ships, supplemented by few torpedo boats. could be relied upon to keep Ger vera's squadron so fully occupied that he would have no time to get to the | troops attacking Santiago from the rear
 With great satisfaction the Navy | Department to-day publishes Samp- l sons statement that Hobson and his men are we'll and not in the line of fire.
 It was also noted that Sampson finds no difficulty in having his flag of truce respected. which is gratifying, in view | of tbe statement coming from Havana 1 come days ago that there was to be a
 lapse into barbarism through the re-
 fusal of the Spaniards to recognize flags of truce.

 MADRID, June 24.-Never since the commencement of the war has the anxiety been so in- tense to hear news from Santi- ago. It is recognized that the successful landing of American troops is most serious. The Epoca tonight talks sadly of the certain destruction of Cervera' $ fleet.
 No official report confirms the rumor of the surrender of Manila. The Cabinet council meets to- morrow morning. Its results, it is anticipated, will be of the high est importance. It is remarked that the session of Congress sus- pended without any usual loyal demonstrations.

AMERICAN FORCES WILL BE IN FRONT OF
 SANTIAGO BY SUNDAY

FROM THE HERALD-CALL SPE- cIAI. CORRESPONDENT WITH THE ARMY, near Santiago. Thursday, via Port Antonio, Jamaica, June A.-The advance troops of General Shafter' s army are now skirmishing to the west ward of Baiquiri and 1t Is expected the entire American force will be in front of Santiago by Sunday. Officers of the advance troops believe the city will have been taken within forty-eight hours after that.
 Wright and Trumpeter Platt of Roose- yelt's rough riders planted the American flag on Wednesday evening on the sum- init of Mount Losiltires in full view of the American fleet. It was magnif1- cent spectacle as the Americans and C,,bans cheered the colors while ves- sells of the fleet joined in with joyous blasts from their whistles.

tempt was made to destroy the locomotives of the railroad and the rolling stock. General Lin ares retreated to Sevilla, six miles west of Juragua by road and nine miles from Santiago de Cuba.
 A detachment of I7o Cubans, under Colonel Aguirre, collided with the Spanish rear guard. The Cubans lost two men killed and had seven men wounded. The Spanish loss IS not known. The Spaniards were macheted.
 General Chaffee, with the Ninth Cavalry, the remainder of the Eighth and Fourth, Seventh, Twelfth and Seventeenth Infan- try, reached Juragua at dark. General Bates, with the reserve of the Twentieth Infantry and Colo nel Woods rough riders, dis mounted, with a dynamite gun, hurried forward from Baiquiri at 3 o'clock, proceeding by forced marches.
 Dispatches from General Lima res which were capturedindicated that the Spanish were ordered to retreat toward Santiago. The in- surgents expect the first stand to be made at Sevilla, and they have proved good prophets in the past General Lawton's men are badly jagged by forced marches and the intense heat. Their rations are almost exhausted. They started with three days supplies and further food could not be landed to-day. A pack train will be sent forward tomorrow.
 Strong outposts aremairltained tonight in order to prevent a surprise, and Juragua is also un- der the protection of the guns of the warships. Thus the flank of the American column is safe. The Spaniards, to attack our troops, must make a forced march through almost impenetrable underbrush.
 There were only two casualties during the landing of the troops at Baiquiri. Corporal Cobb and Private English of Troop D, Tenth Cavalry (colored), fell be- tween a lighter and the pier. Cap tain O'Neill, of Woods rough

STEADY ADVANCE OF THE AMERICAN FORCES
 UPON SANTIAGO CITY

ON BOARD THE ASSOCI- ATED PRESS DISPATCH BOAT DAUNTLESS, off Jur- agua, Province Of Santiago de Cuba, Thursday night, June B, via Port Antonio, Jamaica, June 24.-The advance of the Ameri- can army has reached the edge of the tableland on which the har- Dor of Santiago de Cuba lies. Here, seven miles from Moro Castle as the crow flies, the main body of troops has united, and the Spaniards are in full retreat toward Santiago de Cuba. They may attempt surprise, but a de- cisive engagement is not expect ed for several days.
 General Lawton's brigade, which rested last night at Dema- iayabo, four miles west of Bai- quiri, resumed it's march at day light. Before noon his brigade, consisting of the Twenty-second Infantry, the First Infantry, the Second Massachusetts Volun- teers, with companies of the Eighth Cavalry, half of the Fourth Cavalry, and several com panies of the Twenty-hfth col ored cavalry, occupied Juragua, five miles beyond, and the Ameri- can flag was hoisted there.
 The Spaniards retired before the advance, which was covered by Cuban skirmishers, burning the blockhouses as they went.
 Colonel Wagner, with a small reconnaissance party of about forty men, brushed against the flank of retreating Spanish col umn 200 strong at Firmexa. A dozen shots were fired by the Spaniards as Colonel Wagner fell back. Before General Lawton could bring up the Twenty-sec- ond, the van regiment, the Span iards had decamped westward.
 Juragua was abandoned by General Linares and 1900 Span ish troops with such haste that they had no time to burn the town, though an intellectual at
