BLOODY WORK AHEAD.

Copyright, 1898, by The Associated Press
Off Santiago De Cuba, June 30 p.
My The Associated Press Boat
Wanda, Filed Port Antonio, ia, July /.
s A. M two days visit to the
Cuban lines and outposts by sorre-
spondent CT The Associated Press has
developed a situation which. if not
broken by a vigorous and successful
attack on Santiago, may result in
causing much more serious work than
has been anticipated with the Spanish
forces that have retired from the vicin-
ity of Asorraderos. on the west and
Baiquiri on the east, to join Gen. Lin
ares.
The forces in Santiago and within
the fortified dcfences of the city now
number 11,009-70o0 regulars and 1000
volunteers. Concerning the latter. the
Cubans allcge that they will not fight
with any heart. but will lay down their
arms. According TO the Spanish sol
diers captured. yesterday and held in
the camp of Gen. Perez. near Guam
tanamo, half of the force of men on
the Spanish Warshps has been landed,
with all the rapid fire guns.
This would make total force in the
city of 1850 men, in addition to the
protection from the carthworks and
forts and the assistance of the ships
in the harbor.
To meet his force, or at least to in
wade its strongholds, the American
commanders have now 1880 men and
about 1000 Cubans, the latter to pre-
vent, if possible, flank movements at
the expense of the Americans.
Here is the dangerous and most signi-
cant feature Of the situation. Marching
from Manzanillo, 1eo miles west of Santi-
ago and, having been on the road for six
days, quite we'll advanced now in his
progress, is Gen. Pando with seven bat
aggregating $500 men. To. oppose
him is Gen. jesuit Rabi. with a force of
Santiago and on two roads. OF course it |
would be possible for Gen. Pando to take |
his column far to the north and make a |
junction with the Spanish troops sup
posed to be on the way from Holguin ana |
it is said, 5000 men. This adj
vance from the north is being held in
check by about .150o cubans under Gen
Castillo who claims to hold the passes
In other words. there is to the north
east and west of the army of invasion
thanking force of Spanards comprising |.
over 10000 troops. he'd at bay by less
tnan 5000 Cubans, whose fighting qualities-
are as yet rather engmatical. The unre- !
liability of the Cubans' statements as to
their forces may be better understood
when 1t is known that the 1900 men Perez |,
promised to send to help the marines 7
numbered exactly 81, of whom q are OH

The London Press Thinks Spain should
Not Lose "A Moment In Making Peace.

LONDON, July Is. - The Morning
Post, commenting upon tho surrender
OF Santiago, recalls the landing of the
American forces at Baiquri on June 22
and says that the operations can hardly
be said TO have been unduly prolonged.
a result of great strategical Importance

remember that he is probably much
better informed as to the possibilities
and probabilities than they are.
For all practical purposes there only
remains Havana What happened in
Santiago in July win happen there in
October unless it previously surrendefs.
Peace negotiations cannot be much
longer postponed. There is nothing to
prevent the United States from dis
patching a fleet to Spain if It thinks
well, but there cannot now be any ne
cessity for such action.
The Daily Mail says that the capitu-
lation is disastrous to Spanish inter
ests. Spain has thrown away another
opportunity. So long as she held San
tiago she could demand better terms.

Tho 1tnIo.colomhInn Incident.

WASHINGTON. July 15.-The italian
ambassador. Baron Fava, had a long in
terview with Secretary Of State Day
yesterday afternoon. the subject under
discussion being the intention of the
italian government to seize the Colom-
bian port of Cartagena until it has coll
lected from the revenues sufficient
sum to pay the award Of 100000 dellv-
cred by President Cleveland as arbitra-
TOR against that government on account
OF the claim of Cerutti. an Italian citi-
zen, who was III treated in Colombia.
Our government is making an effort to
compose the difficulty amicably. with
out impugning the justice of Italys de-
mand. and there is reason to believe
from the amiable spirit exhibited by the
Italian representative during the inter
view that this effort will succeed.

LONDON. July 15.-The Daily Mails
Hongkong correspondent cables that 1t
Is NOW known here that Admiral Dew
ey ordered the correspondents at Manila
not TO give the full story of the Irene in
cident for fear of arousing feeling in
America which might lead TO complica-
tions with Germany. When the full de-
tails transpire, II viii be seen that the
incident was more serious than IL at
first appeared to be. AS soon as the
American ships came on the scene Of
action in Subig bay the Irene slipped
her cable. leaving her anchor in the
bay. American Consul Wildman refuses
TO say more than this, taking the same
line OF policy as Admiral Dewey. Il is
believed by those who know Admiral
Dewey that on the arrival OF the mont
tors Monterey and Monadnock he will
insist upon his harbor regulations being
carried out 20 the letter. The opinion
among the foreigners at Manila Is that
the Americans win never forgive the
Germans for their meddlesome attitude
IN the Philippines. 1t will not only hurt
German trade with America. but will
also effectually destroy all Of Germany s
chances OF having any say or influence
in the disposal OF the Philippines II
