portion. The ordnance department re-
ceived today three carloads of ordnance.

Importance to the officials of the war

practically direct communication with
General Shafter.
The Information Is significant, too,
as 1t shows that the American troops
are within rifle shot of Santiago. The
telegraphic station being, of course
within the American lines, its location
conclusively indicates that the forces
of General Shafter have established
themselves In advance Of the tele-
graphic station. The station Is in front
