Washington, June 21-Public atten-
tion here yesterday was divided almost
evenly between three subjects-the
movements of General Skaters army,
the probability of reinfcrcements hav-
ing reached Dewey. and the status of
hchson, the Santiago hero. Up to late
hour in the afternoon neither of the
anXiously awaited messages which were
to- announce the arrival of the trans
ports at Santiago and Manila had
reached either the war or navy depart
ments. 1t was not doubted, however,
that our vessels are off Santiago, for
although proceeding at a less speed
than the English steamers which at
Kingston yesterday reported having
passed them in the Windward passage
Sunday night, the distance which they
would be obliged to travel from the
Windward passage to Santiago is
less than that traversed by the British
shin which came into Jamaica in the
early afternoon. If they arrived only
yesterday morning off Santiago they
could report that fact solely by means
of a dispatch boat running a twelve
hour journey.
Help fbr Dewey at Manila.
1t is not doubted that just about the
| time Shafter appeared off Santiago the
| Charleston appeared in Manila bay
| leading the three transports which
bring nearly 5000 soldiers to Dewey's
assistance. That fact will not be known
| officially for two or three days, owing
to the distance from there to Hong
Kong, the nearest cable point. 1t i:
questioned here whether with this forct
to back him Dewey will feel justified
in assaulting Manila, or even in ac
cepting it's surrender. Either cours'
would involve heavy responsibilities fo
the admiral, and it is extremely de
sirable that no pretext be afforde
jealous European powers for interven
ton at Manila under guise of protecting
the interest of their subjects. There
fore it may be that the admiral vii
