Washington, July 13.-Among the

DESTRUCTION OF sIBoNEY.

Off Juragua Cito. July 12.-The mis-
cradle little town of Juragua Cito ISL
boneyO lies in ashes tonight. 1t was
burned under the orders of the army
health authorities. Almost every build
ing of the so which struggled among
the irregular bluffs was set ON fire dur

have fed to the caves in the Overhang-

This action was. taken at the urgent
request of Major Legaro of the hospital

Riding the camp of the unhealthy and

The burning of the houses also ex-
tended along the trail to the front, and
numerous block houses were destroyed,
together with dwellings,.
The action was decided upon last
night, and early this morning the long

lives and it seems equally certain that

tons would be almost as disastrous to

WILL SUSPEND OPERATIONS.
1t is also believed that without very
decided changes in climatic changes
the surrender of the Spanish will close
the campaign against Cuba until the
rainy season shall have passed. Wheth-
err this will involve the return of the
army to the United States is not known
but the presumption is that with the
fall of Santiago the army will be re-
embarked on transports and sent to
the United States, where the troops
will remain until October, or even later,
before making a general movement on
Porto Rico or Havana.
Meantime our fleets would maintain
a strong blockade of all the important
Cuban ports, and thus render their oc-
cuDatiOn much easier than now. 1t is
thought that this plan has not been
fully determined upon, but it is known
to have been under consideration.
1t is expected by Shafter that the
navy Will cooperate, and, while Secre-
tary Long has received no direct adj
Sampson, he fully credits this expec-
tation.
WILL COST MANY LIVES.
Reluctant as the war department is
to sacrifice the many lives that might
be lost in assault, it is deemed to be
the better policy to make it than to
allow the men to rot away with fevers
and other diseases during the long per-
iod that would be required to perfect
the reduction of the city by steady in
vestment. An expectation is still en-
tertained here. however, that this as
sault win be unnecessary, through
Toral surrendering before it begins. 1t
was, perhaps, the spread of this belief,
caused by a knowledge of the more
energetic steps in prospect that tended
to remove the feeling of depression
manifested with the opening of the day
upon the circulation of rumOrs of the
appearance OF yellow fever in the
American camps.
Regarding the future of Santiago,
nothing has been officially stated, but
it is significant that orders were is
sued in the department this afternoon
to prepare the First and Second regi-
mentS of volunteer immunes for inme-
date departure for the front. This
would seem to be indicative of a DUR
pose of the government to garrison
Santiago with these fever-DrOOf men
after its equalization, thus permitting
the removal of the regular troops TO
more healthy points.

SPANISH VESSEL WRECKED.
Trying to Run the Blockade With
Supplies For Blanco.

Washington, July 13.-Captain Saw
yer signal officer at Key West, has re-
ported to the war department that the
ship San Domingo was wrecked off the
Isle of Pines, Cuba, while trying to
run the blockade. Her nationality is
unknown. Captain Sawyer reports that
he believes she was one of the vessels
secured by General BlancO to run the
blockade and furnish food supplies to
his army.
New York, July 13.-There is no rec
ord of any ship San Domingo, and 1t
is probable that the vessel is the Span
ish steamer Santo Domingo, which be-
longs to the CamDanian Transit
lantique, of Barcelona. The Santo Do
mirgo, which registered .92S tons, was
in the passenger and freight service be-
tween New York and Havana, and
Mexican ports. Her commander was
CAPTAIN Aguirre.

The command of this expedition was

General Garrison will command. General
Henry is bitterly disappointed.
Grave fears are expressed among army
men here that should the bombardment

anxiety TO end the campaign in this vi

TO accept General Torars proposition.

only barrier now in the way of a swift
