A HAZARDOUS VENTURE.
Admiral Sampson will Force His Way
Into Santiago Bay.

Washington, July 5.-In the opin-
ion of the best informed war officials
Gen. Shafter and Admiral Sampson,
who have been directed to cooper
ate in the general attack upon
Santiago, will perfect plan of
action against the city today. 1t is
regarded as likely that Sampson
will i'm mediately-perhaps today
attack the Notifications at the en-
trance of the harbor and force his
way into the bay of Santiago. Once
there he will be able to command
the city absolutely.
1t is fully realized that the at
tempt to force an entrance to the
harbor will be a hazardous venture.
The channel leading into the bay,
as is well und erstood, is very narrow
and vessels passing through it will
be subjected to a terrible hre from
the batteries on both sides, as well
as from the MORO and other per
manent Notifications. Naval
officers believe that before Admiral
Sampson can gain an entrance to
the harbor he will have to demolish
the shore batteries and render the
Moro useless as a fortifcatiOn com,
manding the channel entrance.
Rumors we're current at the war
department this afternoon that
Simpsons fleet had already entered
the harbor. This could not be con
firmed in any official quarter. One
report was that the signal officer
had already reported to General
Greely but the latter said he had
received nothing of that nature.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1898-07-06
HurrYing Relnforcements.

Washington, July 6.-The most
active steps toward getting large
reinforcements to Shafter are in
progress. Three regiments of Gen.
Garretson's brigade from Camp
Alger one of them, the Eighth of
Ohio, under Col Custin V. Hard,
proceeding to New York, where
they will embark Immediately on
the st. Paul. The other regiments
of this brigade-the Sixth Illinois
and Sixth Massachusetts, GO to
Charleston, S. G. where they take
the cruisers Harvard and Yale. At
the same time the brigades of Gen.
Earnest and Gen Haines, now at
Chickamauga, will move with all
possible despatch to Charleston,
Savannah, Mobile and other Allan
tic coast towns, there to take the
transports Tor Santiago.
1t is undepstood that orders to
the brigade at Chickamauga are to
move with all possible despatch
without fixing the exact hour, it
being left with those on the field to
make the best arrangements with
the railroads fer moving southwark
to Charleston, Savannah and the
other coast towns of embarkation.
The three regiments at camp Alger
are expected to move today. Gen,
Farretson will probably go with the
Ohio Regiment to New York and
thence to Sattiago on the st.
Paul.

War to Continue.

Madrid, July 6.-The cabinet
council last night, after a short
session, decided not to open nego-
tiations for peace, but to continue
the war with all risks, while a sin
gle soldier remains IN Cuba.
The government has no news as
to bombardment of Santiago and
has cabled Blanco for details of the
naval engagement
London, July 5.-The Daily
Chronicle this morning says; We
learn from a sure source that the
Spanish government thinks it inn
possible to make peace now because
to make peace at present would
throw the balance of power in
Spain into the hands of the Car
lists.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1898-07-06

Key West, July 6th.-It is report
ed here that the Spanish cruiser
XII was captured by the
American blockade while attempt
ing to escape from Havana. This
was the same war slip reported
yesterday by Spain as being acci-
DESTROYED.
The Daily Texarkanian., 1898-07-06

Madrid, July 6,-An official dis
patch from Santiago says: Cer-
vera's fleet sustained for an hour
the fire of the Admiral Simpsons S
fleet. 1t then disappeared west
ward followed by the American
fleet. We lost two torpedo boat
destroyers. AS to Gen. Skaters
demand for the surrender of the
city expiring at ten o'clock yes
terday morning the Spanish COM
mander replied: 1T is my duty to
defend the city to the last" The
ministers on leaving the cabinet
council said they knew nothing of
Cervera's squadron further than
the dispatch revealed.
