London, June s.-A despatch to the

The American victory at Santiago de
Cuba has cleared the way for the entrance
of Admiral Sampson and the destruction
of the Spanish feet AS Santiago's land
defences are reported weak, it is likely
the city will YIELD to vigorous attack.
cit is reported that the commander of

TRANSPORTS FOR MANILA.

Washington, June 7.-Assistant Secre-
ary of War Meiklejohn is rapidly shaping
the question Of ships for transportation OF
troops to the Philippines. 1t was decided
that the steamship Centennial will not be
of the fleet. A telegram was received
from Gen. Merritt stating that Lieut..
Lopez and Naval Constructor Snow have
examined the vessel and reported that
she is not now in seaworthy condition.
Mr.. Meiklejohn Immediately telegraphed
Peter Larson of Seatule, owner of the
vessel that her charter by the government
had been cancelled. Gen. Merritt has
been ordered to have the steamships SEN
ator, City of Pueblo and Queen, of the
Pacific Coastwise company inspected with
view to their use as troopships and if
found suitable, to impress them into
service.
In addition to these vessels, the war de-
partment has in view several ships of the
Northern Pacific Steamship company.
This is British corporation. 1t offers
to charter its vessels to the government
on condition of receiving American regis
try, at practically the prices the war de-
partment has proposed. Assistant Secre-
tary Meiklejohn expects to secure the
steamship Arcadia, now at New York
for transport purposes in the West Indian
campaign. Her charter by the govern
ment is contingent upon certain changes
being made in the vessel by her owners.
The Arcadia will accommodate 1000 men.

FRENCH CABLE FAILS.
But Blanco Has Still Another
Line.

Washington, June 7.-Information re.
ceived here today indicated that ..the
French cable between Santiago de Cuba
and Hayti had not been working since
midnight of last night. If such is the
case Gen. Blanco is cut off from com.
munication with his home government by
that source. It is understood that one
of the English cables running South
from Cuba to Jamaica Is still In oper.
alton, although the officials find consider.
able difficulty in obtaining information
regarding the working of the cables.
The difficulties Of cutting off the Span
ish from their home government has
demonstrated the necessity for the
government ownership Of a cable vessel
and Gen. Greely, chief signal officer of
the army in speaking about the matter
today, said he hoped that hereafter the
United States would own such ship,
whether the country was at peace. or at
war. One could be purchasedsfor $2O0, 900,
he said, and if the signal service had such
a ship at it's command at the beginning of
the war, Cuba would have been isolated
in a week as far as the cable was con.
cerned.

MAY SEE REAL FIGHTING.
Annapolis Cadets to Be Given Service on
War Ships.

Washington. June THE navy depart-
ment has decided to give the naval cadets
at Annapolis an opportunity to see real
warfare by taking assignments on the
warships in lieu of the customary sum-
mer vacation. AS result about half of
the second class men and quite number
of the third class men have been assigned
to duty on the Indiana, New York.. Iowa
and other ships in West Indian waters.
The assignments are not general, :. ap-
plying to an entire class, but are entirely
elective to the cadets themselves. They
are showing much eagerness for the
service as disclosed by the = large number
of applications thus far made.
The department. has approved the ap-
plications in all cases, unless some per-
sonal family objection was raised. The
assignments are made to the larger ships
as they afford the best accomm odation,
the smaller gunboats and auxiliary craft
not having the room for extra men. The
cadets will be made 4 useful mainly as
signal officers.
Among the cadets at Annapolis is q
young japanese who is receiving instruc-
tion there by the courtesy of the sUnited
States government. His family is of high
nobility. He was among the first TO
volunteer for active service on the Amer
lean warships in the present war with
desirable berth. AS soon as the news
reached the Japanese legation here, a
stern veto was interposed. The minister
felt that he had not authority 60 allow
the young man to jeopardize his life

Shortly after the firing ceased, the
warships turning in order to permit the
use of their port batteries The firing
then became long reverberating crash
of thunder and the shells raked the
Spanish batteries with terrible effect.
Fire broke out in the Catalina forts and
silenced the Spanish guns there. The
firing of the fleet continued until 10
O'Clock when the Spanish fire ceased en-
tirely and Rear Admiral Sampson hoisted
the ''cease firing signal
Generally the fire of the fleet was very
destructive Many of the earthworks
were knocked to pieces and the Estrella

After.the feet had retired the Spaniards
returned to some OF their guns and san+
10 shells after the feet. But no one was
injured. One large she'll fell close to the
collier Justin.
Throughout the engagement NJ Ameri.

jured.
If the Spaniards stuck to their guns
and all evidence is to the contrary their
loss must have been heavy.
