to Enter the Harbor.


New York, Dec. 2S.-The Times says:
The dispatch from washington which
brought tie light one sent by Adjutant
General Corbin to General Shafter soon
after the battle of 81 Caney, calling
forth a plan for the entering of San
tiagO harbOr with an armed transport.
is confirmed by General Shafter
The plan was to take transport to
do the work. The armor depended
upon to shield the vitaIs of this engine
of destruction from the effect of Span
ish shells was baled hay General
Shafter was instructed to secure a com
petent pilot and attach an anchor TO
tow line, and, if possible grapDle
the torpedo cable and call for volun-
teers from the army, and then run into
the harbor, thus making a way for the
navy.
General Shafter said last night: Eyes,
the cablegram was received by me on
July 1, and l took immediate steps to-
ward carrying out the project 1 in
structed my chief quartermaster to
look over the list of transports. with. a
view of selecting a vessel suitable to
do the work. l also arranged with a
competent pilot, Captain Faircloth. to
undertake the job of steering the yes
sci through the channel. and even went
so far as to settle upon the price he
was to be paid for his services. But
before any other movement in the mat
ter was decided upon, l became con-
WINGED that the Spaniards would sur
render in day or two, and 1 thought
it unnecessary to make what 1 regard
ed then as a very hazardous attempt
to put a vessel through the channel
Had l not felt sure at the time that
the Spanish army would surrender
within day or two. 1 would certainly
have carried out the scheme prepared
by Adjutant General Corbin."
