possible for any offensive battleship
to approach the inner harbor by
planting an additional effective sys
tenn of submarine explosives from
sbe magazines of his own ships
With the American land force in
possession of the shore batteries,
however, the wires which operate
the mines could be speedily cut aud
the American feet could promptly
countermine the channel. and force
au entrance to the deep water iu the
interior bay, bringing about such a
conclusive short range battle with
the squadron as that of two months
ago at Manila
For some time American naval
officers have considered this plan the
only one that gave any promise of
efectipg solution of the Santiago
problem, and it is we'll known that
Admiral Sampson thoroughly approx.
ed it as the speediest method Of
destroying Cervera. although at the
time of the army's tedious delay in
getting away from Tampa he permit
ted Hobson to try to sink the sIerri-
mac in the channel. having 10 con-
temptation the complete investment
of Santiago by land and sea and the
eventual. starving out of the Spanish
forces aAoat and ashore The GER
tainty that the Merrimac now offers
practically no obstacle to the naviga-
ton of the channel is understood to
have led Admiral Sampson and Gen.
Shafter to agree upon the immediate
seizure of the entrance forts. with
their control of the mine fields, and
unless some unforeseen circumstance
has arisen since Sunday to alter the
plans, it should have been carried out
by this time
Officials understood that Admiral
Sampson would open fire on MORO
and the other batteries yesterday
morning at daybreak aud continue
firing With all his vessels, including
the Vesuvius. until every Spaniard
in the works was either disabIeIo
driven out Yesterday morning
Gen Shafter had large part of his
corps including all his advance
forces, on the hills, within two miles
of Moro and everything was ar
ranged so that the castle might be
occupied within an hour after the
bombardment ceased Perhaps this
attack was postponed, but at any rate
army officers believe that it has al
ready occurred. and for that reason
do not worry about the reported ad'
vance of Gen. Pando to reinforce
Santiago when the United States
forces have no use for that city.
