LONDON PRESS COMMENT.
How the General Situation Is Viewed
-Camara's Fleet.

LONDON, June 27.--The morning papers
are unanimous in praising the pluck and
fighting qualities which the Americans
have displayed in the skirmishes before San
tiago de Cuba. After the scare caused by
rating too cheaply the Spanidrds' knowl-
edge of bush fighting, which cost the Amer
leans dearly, the experience probably will
teach them a useful lesson for the future.
This is the burden of the general opinion.
There is considerable comment as to Admi-
raj Camaras movements. His stopping at
Pert Said is puzzling, but the assumption is
that he probably is awaiting fresh instruc-
tions. Few believe that he will ever reach
Manila or Iloio which is regarded as a
more likely destination, owing to coaling
difficulties. dispatch from Cairo says: IF
Admiral Camara Goals at Port Said he
would not, under the neutrality law be all
lowed to enter the Suez canal. 1t is sup
posed that if he traverses the canal that
he will endeavor to obtain coal at Obock
on the Gulf of Aden." In any event, the
matter is regarded as of no Importance,
since it is recognized that he can do nothing
to interfere with the American operations
or retard the fall of Manila.
The Times reviewing the operations
says: so far the advance of the expedi-
tionary force has been as rapid as could be
expected. Unless, however, General Linares
has strangely neglected to make use of the
ample time available, Gen. Skaters force
will shortly find itself in front of an en-
trenched position strongly held In spite of
the amazing revelations of, military incom-

WAR SHIPS WAITING.
Ready to Cooperate i'm the Attack ON
SantiagO-Some Possibilities.

Copyright, 1885, by the Associated Press)
OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 25, by
Associated Press dispatch boat, Kingston,
Jamaica, June 26, p. m-While the army
advances the main portion of the fleet lies
patiently in front of MORO Castle, awaiting
its opportunity. Before the end of next
week the fate of Santiago and Admiral Ger
vera should be decided. BY that time, it is
believed, the Spanish troops will have been
forced back upon the city and defeated in
decisive engagement. simultaneously the
forts at the mouth of the harbor should be
captured, under cover of a naval lombard
ment.
Three things will then be left to Cervera
to surrender with his ships, to surrender
after destroying his ships, or to make a
dash out to sure destruction. He may fore
stall fate by making an attempt to get out
of the harbor before the army accomplishes
its end. The first Spanish ship to appear
off Moro Castle would be sunk within fif-
teen minutes. Nothing in Admiral Cervera's s
fleet could survive the concentrated fire of
all the battle ships in the navy and three of
the best cruisers
The general opinion among naval experts
is that Santiago town will be burned by the
Spanish troops before they surrender. that
Admiral Cervera will destroy his ships and
that he will then submit to the enemy. If
this supposition is correct, the whole work
should be accomplished in week. 1t is
hardly likely that the army can effect its
purpose without considerable loss. although
its superiority in numbers, caliber and gem
eralship insures an ultimate sweeping vic
tory.
There is every possibility that the Span
ish troops may surrender independently of
Admiral Cervera. If the Spanish admiral
should insist upon thus prolonging the
agony, he would be subjected to a fire from
his own forts and the army siege guns. If
these proved ineffective the harbor mouth
would be dragged the mines removed, Ad-
miral SIMPSONS ships would enter and Ad-
miral Cervera would be finished off.
When the Americans took Bafquiri they
found letter partly written in the house
of the Spanish commandant. 1t was ad-
dressed to the Spanish commander at SAINT
iago de Cuba, and had the tone of bragga-
docio. 1t read, in part. as follows: II am

report is that they will leave the

BATTLE OF LAS QUAsINA.
Further Details of the Victory Won
by ROugh Riders and Regulars.

by Rough Riders ana Regulars.
Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.)
JURAGUA, Cuba, June %. p m, per
Associated Press dispatch boat Dandy, via
Kingston, Jamaica, June 26, 10 a. m.-The
initial fight of Colonel Woods rough riders
and the troopers of the First and Tenth
regular cavalry will be known in history as
the battle of Las Quasina. That it did not
end in the complete slaughter of the AmeTi-
cans was not due to any miscalculation in
the plan of the Spaniards, for as perfect
an ambuscade as was ever formed in the
brain of an Apache Indian was prepared,
and Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt and his
men walked squarely into it. For an hour
and half they held their ground under
perfect storm of bullets from the front and
sides and then Colonel Wood, at the right,
and Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt, at the
left, led a charge which turned the tide
of battle and sent the enemy flying over the
hills towards Santiago.
1t is now definitely known that sixteen
men on the American side were killed,
while sixty were wounded reported
to be missing. 1t is impossible to calculate
the Spanish losses, but it is known that
they were far heavier than those of the
Americans, at least as regards actual loss
of life. Already thirty-seven dead Spanish
soldiers have been found and buried, while
many others undoubtedly are lying in the
thick underbrush on the side of the gully
and on the slope of the hill, where the main
body of the enemy was located. The
wounded were all removed.
A complete list of the killed, wounded and
missing on the American side, revised to
o'clock Saturday, is as follows:

WASHINGTON, June 26.-Notwithstand-
ing the report of the arrival of Admiral

erly entrance to the Suez canal. the officials
still doubt that the vessels are bound for
the Philippines. Rumors reach here-uncon-
f1rmed as yet-that the only ironclads in the
left the squadron and returned to Spain, so
that Camara no longer possesses a force
that would threaten Dewey. If this be so,
either the Spaniards have realized the folly
of leaving their home ports unprotected, or
they have received information from the
British government that the navigation of
the Suez canal cannot be jeopardized by al
lowing such deep draft, unwieldy ironclads
to attempt the passage. Some attention has
been attracted at the State Department by
the dispatch from Madrid to a British pa
per stating that Camara's purpose is not to
attack Dewey, but to seize and hold with
his ships and troops another island in the
Philippine group. 1t is suspected If this be
so that the object is purely diplomatic the
Spanish government being anxious to truth
fully assert, in the event that peace nego-
tiations are forced upon it, that the United
States is not in such complete occupancy of
the Philippines as would justify demand
for their retention one of the terms of
peace.
