Spanish Government Has but Mea-
ger Advices From Santiago.
MADRID, July Am official dis
patch from Santiago, dated July 2
and just made public here, says:
Yesterday the enemy advanced
within league Of here. At this mo-
ment the cannonade is commencing
against Caney, where there are sew
eral companies under Gen. Vara de
Rey. simultaneously, the American
squadron approached, flying fighting
flags, and no doubt for the protec-
ton of the movements of the troops.
Capt. Gen. Blanco telegraphs that
nothing is known of Gen. Escaro's
column, which started from Manza-
milo to reinforce Santiago de Cuba"
Another dispatch says: Yesterday
night two American ships were in
sight Of Havana.
Several encounters have taken
place between the Spaniards and the
insurgents recently, and the latter had
eight men killed"
In the absence of any official dis
patches giving details of the attack
on Santiago de Cuba, the newspapers
here express great anxiety, which, in
creased by the report that no rein
forcements have reached the besieged
city from Manzanillo or Holguin. The
papers complain of the extreme brew
all Europe at the mercy of American
eXaggerations."
Every one seems to feel that the
defensive game is being played around
Santiago de Cuba. and that the fall of
that city cannot fail to effect the very
existence Of the government here, but
thus far perfect tranquility prevails,
The Madrid newspapers also Sc
verely censure the return of the three
Spanish torpedo boat destroyers and
two coal-laden transatlantic steam
ers which are said to be back at Port
Said, and much Indignation is ex-
pressed at the time lost by Admiral
Camara's fleet in Egyptian waters.
The minister for foreign affairs
Duke Almodovar de Rio, has caused
it to be announced that the only diff
to the representations Of the Ameri-
can consul against the duration of
the squadron's stay and the purchase
of coal. The passage of the canal,
the minister explained, could not pre-
sent any difficulty. A dispatch was
received here from Gen. August, dat
ed Manila, June 26, via Hong Kong, in
which he says: THE situation con-
tinues as critical as announced in my
dispatch of June Is. Fifteen German,
French, japanese and British war
vessels are anchored in the bay.
Through them there is frequent COM
munication with Hong Kong. Gen
Monet, after fighting several battles,
has arrived at Macabore with 1000
men, where he is entrenched. In the
event OF the enemy advancing on the
capital, 1 have ordered Gen. Monet
to force his way through to my help,

paper correspondents think about the
progress Of the war? Are they aware
that their country stands at the part
ing of the ways, that her external
policy must be radically modified. and
that she is engaged in a war which
may so develop that it may occupy
years, create national debt and leave
the United States with powerful
army and the second fleet in the world :?
Do they think of peace, or have they
made up their minds that there shall
be no peace until Spain begs for it,
and surrenders her colonies? Above
all, have they thought Of the possibility
of the Wal extending, and what, in
that case. they will order their govern
nent to do?"

heves the Americans will s'go ON fight

volume Of sacrifice, until they win and
are able to dictate terms of peace to
their antagonist They will repel all

such repulse may involve, and they will

NO CHANGE IN PLANS.
During the afternoon sensational ru-
mors gained currency that radical
changes in the plans for the occupa-
ton Of Cuba were likely to be adopted
by President Mckinley. 1t can be said
upon the highest authority, however,
that nothing Of the kind Is in con-
temptation 1t is probable the story
was due, in a degree at least, to long
conference held during the afternoon
between Secretary Alger and Maj.
Gen. Miles. The conference led to the
report that Gen. Miles was to go i'm
mediately to the front. probably to
supersede Gen. Shafter in command
of the army of invasion. Secretary AL
ger informed the Associated Press en-
phaticalIy that absolutely no change
was to be made in the Cuban plans
or was even in contemplation.
Another prominent Official of the
war department characterized the ru-
NOR that Shafter was to be super
seeded as an injustice to one OF the
finest officers the army ever had. the
intimation that Gen. Miles may soon
where action is expected is likely to
prove true, but as yet it is nothing
more tangible than a rumor.
1t is the very evident purpose OF the
war officials to send more troops to
Cuba as soon as possible. In response
to a message sent to Gen. Shafter. two
days ago, reply was received that
the transports now off Santiago would
be sent back to Key West at the ear
Hest moment. The transports are
needed to convey the additional troops
to Cuba-troops that are evidently in
tended to reinforce Skaters COM
mand.
Word reached the marine hospital
service today that a suspicious case,
possibly one Of yellow fever, had de-
veloped at the naval hospital at Key
West, the patient being sailor from
the auxiliary ship Yankee. The facts
were reported to the navy department.
and an inquiry was at once Instituted
by the surgeon general of the navy
He is not apprehensive on the sub
ject, as the latest reports from the
hospital show no evidence of yellow
fever, and it is possible the case is
nothing more than one of suspicious

KEY WEST, Fla, July 2.-Palaski
F. Hyatt, for over four years past at
Santiago de Cuba, Who during his visit
in that country, kept himself thorough
ly posted as TO the movements OF Span
ish troops in Eastern Cuba. in the
course of an interview said:
LAS the first war scare was in the
direction of Havana, it is not possible
that Spanish forces were moved east
ward. Therefore I assume that Gen.
Shafter will not have to fight any
troops rot in Santiago province when
the war began. On April l l made
most careful estimate of the Spanish
forces in that province. According to
the most reliable source there were I'M
der Gen. I-irares $500 men, as follows:
AT Santiago, 1000; at Palma Sorano
and vicinity, 1900; guarding Sabanillo
and Moret railroads, 800; guarding
Juragua railway, $780,; at Juragua
mines, 250, and at Baiouiri, $50.
''At HolSuin and vicinity there were
about 5000 men; at Guantanamo and
Calman6Ea there were about 2,000, or
whom probably 1000 remain in that
neighborhood. At Baracoa and vicinity
there were about 300 men that may
probably not have gone to Santiago.
This constitutes all the Spanish
forces in the province of Santiago, ex-
cept those under Gen. PaHdo, in Cauto,
ManZanillo and the Bayamo district.
This BODY in November and December
last numbered 1880, but from 5000 to
1000 Of these were always sick in the
hospital and many died or became un-
available for service, so that not over
10000 men can possibly be left Leave
5000 of these to guard Manzanillo and
give 5000 to the forces operating
against Gen. Shafter and the total
number of men by whom he is cor
fronted is 1880 1t is number which
I do not believe has been augmented
by impressment more than it has been
decreased by sickness, death or other
cause. / take no stock whatever in the
reports that the Spanish forces at San
tiago are larger than the figures 1 have

Madrid Has Advices That Americans
Lost Heavily.

LONDON. July 3.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Observer says:
'"The last official news from Cuba
is to the effect that the Americans suf-
fered an enormous loss in the attack
upon Ell Caney and Aguadores. Gen.
I.iHares is concentrating his troops to-
ward the defensive works around the
town, where he hopes to overthrow
the American forces. Meanwhile, the
Spaniards from Guantanamo effected

ments from Holguin-making 5000 men
who are now marching to fall upon the
Americans right flank, and they can

at Romanganagu and Palma Soriano.

Dor before Admiral Camara's arrival"
With regard to Cuba, it is thought
the American forces there, apart from
yellow jack and the influences of the
climate, are entirely inadequate. All
the American operations since the
United States forces have been landed,
it is asserted, have been ill-advised,
and showed lack of foresight The
fact that the American army of occu-
patton is so insufficiently equipped
with everything needful shows, the
papers declare, poor generalship.
MR.. TILLMAN'S SPEECH.
Some comment has been aroused by
Mr.. Tillman's speech in the United
States senate regarding the Philip
pines. The National Zeitung reiter-
ates the statement that Germany has
not yet shown a desire to Interfere,
except to protect German subjects,
should the necessity arise, which is by
no means unlikely, as neither Spain
nor the United States seem able to
cope with the natives. The paper
adds:
eff the United States should conquer
and retain the Philippines, or if Spain
relinquishes them to the United States,
then they would become theirs. by
right of war, and it is improbable that
any power would go to war with the
United States in order to dispute their
possession. Should Spain, however,
evacuate the Philippines without the
United States conquering them. then
all the powers interested in the far
East would be concerned in their dis
position.

the enemy our range, Grimes could not locate

to the Spanish position, our men worked like
mad. The Spanish fire gradually slackened
and in less than an hour It ceased altogether.
