July / g a. MA two days visit to the
Cuban fines and outposts by a CORES
pondent Of the Associated Press has de-
veloped a situation which If not broken
by a vigorous and successful assault on
Santiago may result in causing much
moro serious work than has been antici-
pated with the Spanish forces that have
retired from the vicinity Of Azerradoree,
on the west, and Baiquiri. on the east to
join Geersl Linares.
The forces within Santiago and within
the fortified defences of the city now
number 1000, 1900 regulars and 1000 vol
unteers. Concerning the latter, the Gu
bans allege that they viii not fight with
any heart but will content themselves
with laying down their arms,
According to Spanish soldiers captured
yesterday and held in the camp Of Cen
eral Perez. near Guantanamo. half of the
force of men on the Spanish war ships
had been landed, with all the rapid-fire
guns. This would make a total force In
the city OF 1850 men, In addition to the
protection from the earthworks and forts
and the assistance OF the ships IN the
harbor.
To meet this force. or at least to invade
its stronghold, the American command
ers now have 1850 men and 1000 Cubans.
the latter to prevent a possible flank
movement at the expense of the Ameri-
cans. Now here Is the danger and the
most significant fea ture of the situation.
Marching from Manzanillo, 12O miles west
of Santiago, and having been on the road
for six days, quite we'll advanced now in
his progress, IS General Pando, with
seven battalions. aggregating $500 men.
To oppose him Ia General Jesu Ra.bi, with
a force of Zoo Cubans, lying IN wait sew
enteen miles from Santiago and on two
roads.
Now, of course It would be perfectly
possible for General Pando to take his
column far to the north and make juno
ton with the Spanish troops supposed
to be on the way from Holguin, and
numbering. it is said, 5000 men. This ad-
vance from the north Is being held in
check by about 1900 Cubans under Cen
eral Castillo, who claims to hold the
passes.
General Castillo admitted In camp yes

force Of 800 Cubans under command Of
Colonel Perez. This force had variously
been estimated at from $500 to $500 Gu
bans. but there were certainly not more
than 300. as Colonel Perez admitted IN
the course OF conversation, although he
haed distinctly claimed TO have about 1000
men This force OF 800 is supposed to be
keeping at bay 800 Spanish troops who
are in the town of Guantanamo. The
marines are near this camp, but to the
east of 1t, 50 that they could do nothing
TO prevent the spaniards from moving
TO the west on the flank OF the American
army. In other words, there are to the
northeast and west OF the army of inva-
sion hanking forces Of Spaniards COM
pising over 10000 troops held at bay by
less than 1000 Cubans. whose fighting
qualities are as yet rather enigmatical.
In an interview with General Garcia
the correspondent called attention to this
situation. General Garcia replied: II be-
lieve that we should be left to the west
and not to prevent Pando making juno
ton with Linares. We can't do that"
IN spite Of this warning, General Gar
cha and his force were taken to the east
and landed with the army, only to be
transported in part back again to pre-
vent the very movement which Garcia
had predicted. The solution of the diff
Guilty evidently lies in a brilliant and
quick attack.
The unreliability Of the Cuban state
ments as to force may be better under
stood when It is known that the 100 men
Beeres promised to send to help the ma
rines numbered exactly 81. of whom 21
are on the sick list from over-eating.
