ADVANCE OF GENERAL PANDo.
Will Reach Santiago Sunday With
500 Spanish Troops.

Will Reach Santiago Sunday With
S,7OO Spanish Troops.

On Board the Associated Press Dis
patch Boat Dauntless, off Santiago de
Cuba, Tuesday, June 2S.-From two
Cuban officers picked up by the Vixen
it has been learned that Genera oando
is moving eastward from Mahzanillo,
with $500 Spanish troops, for the pur-
pose of assisting the beleaguered city
of Santiago de Cuba. The Cubans had
come to Acerados in small boats with
dispatches from General Rios for Ad-
miral Sampson and General Rabi. They
report that General Pando has with
him seven battalions, numbering 500
men, with cattle and a pack train with
provisions. He left Manzanillo, prov
ince OF Santiago de Cuba, on June %.
to relieve General Linares. The Span
iards were moving at the rate of y
miles a day when the messengers left,
and at their present speed it is ex-
pected they will reach Santiago de
Cuba next Sunday, July 8.
The Cubans have a small force hang
ing on the Spanish flank and rear and
harassing General Pando's troops at
every step.
Manzanillo is 127 miles west of San
uago de Cuba, and the roads are in
if General Pando reaches his goal it
will be with less than half the force
he started with. The Cubans who are
harassing him only number about 200
men, but they are at great advap-
tage in the bush. 1t is possible that
immediate steps will be taken to throw
Il force of Americans and Cubans be-
tween Pando and Linares. Pressed as
the latter is on the east, he could not
spare d man for a sortie to the west.
Admiral Sampson has ascertained
that Admiral Cervera's fleet has
moved into the upper harboT of San
tiago de Cuba. General Shafter, in his
dispatches to the secretary of war,
complimented the fleet for it's assist
ance in landing troops.
With the soldiers landing from the
Yale yesterday and General Garcia's
army transported from the westward,
$1,000 men in all have been disembarked
in the vicinity OF Santiago de Cuba.
The flying squadron, hitherto COM
manded by Commodore Schley, has lost
its identity by an order issued today by
Rear Admiral Sampson, and it has been
merged into the fleet under the admiral.
The order caused considerable surprise
en- board the Brooklyn. which has been
the flagship of the flying squadron,
whore it was supposed the squadron
would remain intact at least until the
fall Of Santiago de Cuba. Commodore
Schley has been assigned to command
rue second squadron, attached to Ad-
nliral SamDSOn'S fleet

SANTIAGO WITHOUT WATER.
II This Is True the City Will Soon
CaDituIate.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press.)
Siboney, Province of Santiago de
Cuba, June est is reported here to-
night on apparently good authority
that the water supply Of Santiago has
been cut off. If this proves true, the
city is at our mercy.
Washington, June 29.-No official re-
ports have been received to confirm the
story that General Skaters troops are
n possession of the WateTWorks sup
plying Santiago. It is not doubted that
the troops crossed the line of the aque-
duct and could cut off the water sup
ply oe Santiago if deemed desirable to
do SO. The opinion here is, however,
that if the pipes have been tapped by
the American troops it has been done
with the main purpose of supplying
themselves and stock with good drink
ing water. 1t is not thought -1ere was
q deliberate purpose TO cut I Santi-
ago's water supply, for, in the minds
OF persons beet posted on the situation,
such a method. While causing the pop
ulatiOn of the town q. good deal OF dis
comfort, would be entirely Intellectual
in fastening The surrender Of Santiago.
The country IN the rear Of that city to
the north ard westward is said TO be
well supplied with small streams of
fresh water cmDtyirg into the bay, and
as our troops SO far have not managed
20 occupy that territory, this source of
water is stin within the reach of the
spaniards. It is said also that in a
ity as large as Santiago there are an
abundance Of steam boilers which could
be changed very quickly into distillers
o. the salt water Of the bay.
InaS.nuci as disposition has ap-
pearcd in some quarters as TO the ques-
ton CT the right os the American army
under the modern rules 20 resort TO this
u1ediaeva! means of shortening
siege, IL can be stated that the military
authorities here. after careful eXamin-
alton of TIE matter, nave reached the
conclusion that there is full warrant
for the cutting of OF the wafer supply.
