Railroad Building.

Despite the excessive heat along the San Carlos river. the construction crews at work on the grade of the Gila Valley. Globe X Northern railroad are making rapid progress. The force was increased on Monday last by the arri- val of DO men from Fl PasO, and now number 25O to 300 men. The most westerly camp is located on the river, twelve miles from GisOn's and twenty one miles from Globe.
 The Midland Construction company's outfit excavating the long cut through the summit east of Globe is making fair headway with small force. It has been found impossible to get men in Globe at the wages paid lSl.15l but men and teams will soon be available from the grading outfit near San Carlos. We understand Mr. Garland is still confident that the railroad will reach Globe in October, but it is the opinion here that it will be December Ist or later. before the road is completed through the town to the smelters.

sent a thrill through official circles from
the highest to the lowest. Secretary Alger
was the first to read it. He passed it to
General Corbin, adjutant general of the
army, and directed him to take it at once
to the White House. General Corbin went
to the President, carrying the original dis
patch. He was back shortly, and then q
bulletin was posted giving the dispatch
verbatim. Until then only the higher Of
ficials had known that the decisive hour
was at hand. But now the news spread
through the corridor and wave of agita-
ton and expectancy took hold of every one.
A great crowd of correspondents struggled
about the bulletin board; messenger boys
dashed off with dispatches. the clerks, men
and women, turned from their desks and
gathered at the doorways.
Meantime Secretary Alger remained at
his desk, while the usual train of callers
pushed their way forward. The Secretary
has a deep personal interest in the fight
for the reason that his son. young Captain
Alger, on the staff of General Duffield, was
participating in the engagement. AS the
Secretary started to the cabinet meeting
he spoke with satisfaction of the fact that
sufficient time had elapsed to permit Cen
eral Shafter to get his army well concen-
trated at the front, and thrown out into
good battle formation. The Secretary felt
that our forces were on the aggressive, and
that the mere fact that the action was now
going on showed that Shafter had bided his
time and was now ready to strike a de-
cisive blow. Word had come, prior to the
Shafter dispatch. showing that the artil-
lery which had been brought to the front
was we'll placed.
Gen. Miles, commanding the army re-
ceived copy of the dispatch soon after
1t arrived. He had expected it. for only
a few hours before a dispatch came to him
from Gen. Breckenridge, inspector general
of the army, stating that the spirit of the
troops was high, and that they were eager
aid expectant for action. Gen. Breckin-
ridges dispatch indicated that successful
results might be expected very soon.
Viewed From Balloon.
Gen. Miles also received another dis
patch. sent quite early this morning from
Skaters headquarters, saying that the big
military balloon was now high in the air
and was giving OF portrnity for observa-
ton over great sweep of country. This
in itself was of incalculable value to our
troops. Brave "Reminiscences had been
made, but these were of little value COM

Ing radius of observation of from twenty
to forty miles with powerful telescopes.
Gen. Miles had seen these war balloons in
successful use at Aldershott, again during
the French military maneuvers, when a
six-horse wagon to which the great air
ship was anchored followed a squadron of
cavalry on the dead run. He says Ger
man ships going at eighteen knots have
hauled these captive balloons along with
them. At St. Petersburg also ne saw them

have been repaired and improved by our
troops, indicating that the artillery will be
moved in that direction. 1t is believed that
the investment of Santiago de Cuba will
follow the capture Of Caney.
There are about 5000 Cubans operating
with the American army at the front, and
the Spanish force defending Santiago de
Cuba is estimated at from 1000 to 10000
men. In addition, as already cabled, Gen

5000 men, and, unless checked by the small
force of Cubans holding the mountain
passes, he ought to reach Santiago, in his
efforts to support General Linares, in a
few days.
The American camps have been soaked
by the recent rains. and the roads are in
bad condition, but our officers and men are
confident they will be able to make a gem
eral attack soon, and that Santiago will
fall before them.
The cable was placed in operation this
morning at Juragua, Altares and Slboney,
and communication is now open between
the invading army and Washington.

Caney is composed of residences of the

poets to occupy it without difficulty, as the
Spanish evidently are disposed to abandon
the town. From Caney the main road en-
tiers Santiago from the northeast, thus
making it an important point in the pend
ing operations.
General Garcia expects to have the honor
of leading the grand assault, and has ex-
horted his men to fight desperately.

VIEW OF ARMY OFFICERS.
Greatest Fear is That Spanish May
Fall Back Upon Pando.

Army officers here say that the battle just
begun at Santiago will either result in. a
very speedy victory or the situation is like
ly to becor.c extremely trying, with des-
perate fighting and great risk. 1t is be-
lieved that the Spanish are not well sup
piled with ammunition, and the greatest
apprehension is that they may be able to
retire from Santiago and fall back upon
Pando taking up new position further in
the interior. 1t is not known here, of
course, what steps have been taken by Gen
eral Shafter to cut off the retreat of the
Spanish army, but no doubt is felt that II
the way Is open for a retreat the entire
Spanish army will fall back, evacuating the
city. If they do this it will greatly retard
our operations, for the possession of San
tiago without having defeated the Spanish
army will leave our operations very little
advanced.
The object of General Shafter is to ut
terly destroy or capture the Spanish army
in eastern Cuba, and to capture the Ger
vera fleet or destroy 1t. If the Spanish
army evacuates Santiago and falls back on
Pando's reinforcements, it will probably
take up a strong position further in the
interior. and our army will have to follow

to the effectiveness of the force sent to

THE ATTACK ON MORRO CASTLE

A dispatch was read in the cabinet
meeting from Colonel Allen, in
charge of the signal station at Playa
del Este. He said that the fight was
growing furious in all directions. AT
the time he sent the telegram eight
Americans and nine Cubans had
been wounded.
The Spanish fleet was shelling the
American forces as they advanced.
Admiral Sampson was firing upon
the forts and everything Spanish in
sight.
1t is momentarily expected that
Moro Castle will be taken by the
American forces and that Admiral
Sampson will then advance through
the channel and attack the Spanish
feet.
The description given by Colonel
Allen was a splendid one and en-
Unused the cabinet gathering to the
greatest extent Cabinet members
pictured the battle as an awful one.

and the armies engaged in combat.

that the real attack was made on the
