forces were taken to the east to CO.

the capture of Santiago, will be- sent
back with 5000 of his men to stop the

and quantity of cattle, was reported
at point II miles from Manzanillo,
going east towards Santiago. Accord
ing to information which reached the
flagship New York today from Colonel
Rios, in command of the Cuban camp,
General Pando started from Manzanillo
June %, and is travelling at the rate OF
10 miles day. The distance to San
tiago is 81 miles, and the roads are

Washington, July 2.-General A. W.
Greedy, chief signal officer, tonight re-
ceived dispatch from Lieutenant
Colonel Allen, signal corps officer in
Cuba, announcing that telegraph
and telephone station had been -estab,.
lished at point within two miles of
the city of Santiago. This information
is of the highest Importance to the
officials of the war department, as it
insures to them practically direct
communication with Sbafter. The in
formation is significant, too, as it shows
that the American troops are within
rifle shot of Santiago. The telegraph
station being of course within the
American lines, its location conclusive
ly indicates that the forces of General
Shafter have established themselves in
advance of telegraphic communication.

InsurPents MassinP,

Juragua, via Kingston, July a.
General Garcia and 5000 insurgents
from the mountains west of Santiago
were brought here today on American
transports. Fully 5000 insurgents are
now concentrated near Juragua. The
majority are we'll armed, but all are
badly clothed. They are accustomed
to the bush-whacking methods of the
spaniards, and are familiar with every
trail in the vicinity Of Santiago. A
conference between Shafter and Garcia
will be held tomorrow to further con-
slider plans Of cooperation of the two
armies.
Garcia's plan is to march his entire
army overland along the northern
coast, keeping in touch with the Amer
ican army. AS soon as possible Garcia
will effect a junction with Gomez
forces, now west of Havana. The Gu
ban leaders plan to have 10000 insur-
gents before Havana when the time
comes for investment of that city.

EASTERN SQUADRON
Preparing for Its Raid, While Camara
Loses Time.

Washington, July at was an
nounced at the navy department this
afternoon that the Spanish Cadiz
squadron had paid the heavy Suez
canal tolls and was about to proceed
eastward through the canal, though
this statement was probably erroneous,
in view of the later reports to the
press indicating that the Spanish ves-
sells were stopping for repairs. The
adivces only FASTENED preparations
making for the departure of Commo-
dore Watson's Eastern squadron. The
commodore has reported to the navy
department his arrival off Santiago,
and his consultation with Admiral
Sampson respecting the details of the
cruise, which, it is expected, will oc-
cupy fully four months, providing the
war endures that length Of time.
The delays to which the Spaniards
are subJect at Port Said will rebound
very greatly to the advantage of Ad-
miral Dewey, ii Camara is still in re-
ality bound ior the Philippines, for
they insure the arrival of almost the
whole Of General Merritt's forces, and
almost certainly OF the cruiser Charles
ton and the Monterey and Monadnock,
before the Spanish squadron could
reach Manila harbor.
1t was learned this afternoon that
the Egyptian government had decided
to notify Admiral Camara that the
continued presence of the Spanish fleet
at Port Said is violating neutrality and
that the warships must leave.
Consular Agent Broadbent has just
made master stroke, which he reports
to the department. While the Spanish
ships were seeking permission of the
Egyptian government to take coal at
Pert Said the consular officer succeeded
in quietly buying up all the coal avail
able at that place. This amounted to
1900 tons, and it is in good place to
be shipped to Dewey, to serve as base
of supplies for Watson's Eastern squad
ron, when it enters the Mediterranean,
or to coal any American vessels that
may pass through the Suez canal,
bound to the Asiatic station.
The news that reached the depart
ment through the press reports that
Admiral Camara is about to leave his
torpedo-boat destoryels at Port Said.
because they would be unable to
weather the monsoons that rage in the
Indian ocean at this season. is believed
ut the navy department to plesage the
dissolution of the squadron and the
abandonment of the cruise to the Phil
ippine.
