will be able to re-enforce the in surgents and keep the enemy en- gagged, if they should attack, un- til additional troops can be got to their assistance.
 With the troops disembarked on Cuban soil there will be no delay in the prosecution of the business which has called them to SaXtiago. Secretary Long said to me the present would be the most important week of the war I'D to this time, and 1t is evident from .his remark he anticipates an attack on Santiago is to follow the landing of the troops. In army circles 1t IS said that at least two or perhaps three days will be necessary to get the troops and all necessary traps ashore.
 The wharf at Buiquiri will be useful in permitting transports to get alongside of it and discharge their men and guns and artillery caissons which they have in their holds.
 The point of landing deter mined upon is connected by road with Santiago, which will make easier the task of the engineers of preparing the way over which the troops are to march in their offensive operations against the Spaniards. It is expected that

Spanish auxiliary cruisers is pro nounced most important by officials, and among some of them it is believed to be straw indicating the Philippines are really the destination of the Span ish men-of-war On the other hand, it is pointed out that Admiral Camara, an ticipating the closing of Cuban and Porto Rican harbors by the Americans, may have coal aboard in order that his ships might coal at sea after having made a dash upon the American coast, as threatened by Lieutenant Caranza i'll his famous purloined letter It is defi- nitely known that Camara's men-of-war are still at Carthagena.
 Consul Sprague, the representative Of this Government at Gibraltar, cabled the State Department to-day that he had re- liable information of its continued pres ence at that port. If bound for the Philippines more than a month will be consumed in making the voyage. An official with whom talked tonight said that the President firmly believes that the interests of this Government will be better subserved by the dispatch of squadron against the peninsula of Spain than by attempting to take the city of Havana with raw troops against the well trained men which Bianco is able to put in the field.

Admiral Sampson will destroy the shore defenses with the ut
 most dispatch and the batteries protecting the harbor of Santiago
 de Cuba as far as his guns can reach. When this is done tor pedo boats and converted tor pedo boat destroyers will be sent in the harbor to torpedo if pos sible the Spanish men-of-war. Aside from this and the protec- ton of troops during the landing the navy will not play an inpor- tant part in the operations against the city.
 The siege guns which General Shafter has with him are to be mounted on the hills overlooking the city and harbor, and this fact would seem to indicate the au-  thorities have no intention of permitting troops to take the city by storm. Of course, however, the campaign cannot be directed from Washington. and If General Shafter should deem 1t important that the troops should attempt to take the city his judgment would be regarded as satisfactory by the Washington officials. What is wanted, however, is the surrender of the city, in order that Cervera's squadron may be taken as promptly as possible.

NEW YORK, June I9.-The Washington correspondent of the Herald telegraphs: Secretary Long believes that under the pro lection of the guns of Rear Ad- miral Sampson's men-of-war American troops are being land ed from transports in the vicin- ity of Buiquiri, preparatory to an attack on the city Of Santiago de Cuba. Long said this evening that he was monlentarily expect ing a cable message from Admiral Sampson announcing the arrival of the troops and that debarka- ton was in progress. He said it was possible the troops might have reached the vicinity of San tiago de Cuba at midnight last night, in which event the debar- kation would have continued steadily during the entire day.
 It is understood in official cir cles here that the point of landing of the troops will be swept clear of Spaniards by the shell and shrapnel of the American vessels, after which the Cubans will take station at some distance in the in terior to prevent the Spaniards from attacking the troops as they go ashore. In this manner it is confidently expected that a body of troops can be debarked which

 | Q CALL DISPATCH-B BOAT SOM q . MFRS N. SMITH, OFF SANTI- . . AGO SATURDAY NIGHT (via . . Port Antonio, Jamaica, Sunday, . Q June 19-noon.-By the time this . . dispatch reaches you Morro Cas- . . tie, the principal fortification re- . q maining at the entrance of the Q . harbor of Santiago, probably will . . be a mass of ruins The work Q q of completing the destruction of q o Santiago's outer defenses will be . . undertaken either by the dyna- . . mite cruiser Vesnvius or by the . . guns of the warships in the q | . American fleet. Q As I have explained in previous dis patches to the Herald and The Call, the only thing that has prevented the destruction of Morro Castle long ago was the fact that Lieutenant Richmond Pearson Hobson and other members of the Merrimac's crew were imprisoned in that fortifcation, and the Americans took every precaution to spare them from danger during the recent bonn bardments. Admiral Sampson has been convinced from the first that Admiral Cervera and General Linares had Hob- son and his fellow-heroes placed in Morro Castle solely to prevent the Americans from shelling that fort. This chance opportunity furnished the last hope the Spaniards had of long avoiding the surrender of the city of Santiago and Admiral Cerveras fleet to Admiral Sampson.
 As long as they held the Merrinac's men there as a shield the American Admiral made his instructions against firing on Morro Castle most explicit. In the several bombardments that have taken place In the vicinity our gunners have been at a disadvantage because of this necessary order. They were most careful in aiming the guns not to allow a single shot even to threaten Morro with destruction.
 Admiral Sampson to-day learned positively that two of the Merrimac's men had been taken by the Spaniards to the Marine Hospital, and that all the others had been removed back to the city. Upon receiving this informa- ton the admiral immediately rescinded his order not to fire on Aforro Castle.
 "One dynamite shell will destroy the fort" the admiral said, as he discussed with those on board the flagship the latest action Of the enemy In dealing with Lieutenant Ho5son and his men.
 From the first the action of the Span iards in conflning these prisoners in Morro under the fire of our guns has been bitterly condemned by the officers and men in the fleet.

that my teeth are few.

A Tiny foot or lilly hand would fill

And if l had a slender waist I'd sicken
