CHANGE OF OPINION.

Now RecOgniEed the United States Can
Conduct the War in Its Own Way.
LONDON, juno 29.-The St. James
Gazette commenting upon the prospect
of the American forces attacking the
coast of Spain says:
1.-THE reception Of the news evidences
a change in public opinion which at
the commencement of the war thought
Europe should notify the United States
that the war must be confined to Amer.
lean waters. 1t is now recognized that
the Americans are fully entitled to
make war in their own way, and they
are indeed driven to retaliate upon
Spain in this manner, owing to the
tactics which Spain has chosen to
nursua.''

GOOD NEWS FROM SKATER
Progress at Santiago Pleases

LOSSES SINCE

Arrives Within Three Miles OF tho City,
the Spaniards Continually Retreat.
ing ~ He Approaches.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-lt was very
late in the day when the first dispatch
within two days came to the war de.
partment from General Shafter, but
the news was regarded as so good that
there was no disposition to complain.
1t disclosed a very satisfactory rate of
progress on the part of General Shafter
towards the town of Santiago itself,
and apparently he has gained all this
ground and has come within three
miles of Santiago without suffering
any losses since the bloody skirmish Of
Friday last. Altogether, the perform.
ance is regarded as very gratifying to
the department here. AS nearly as
can be gathered from the brief dis.
patch the American army is now at the
fork in the road, one branch Of which
leads to Santiago and the other to
Moro castle at the entrance to the
harbor. General Shafter is thus
Free to Move In Either Direction
according to the demands Of tho cam.
paign. With the 1900 men who rein.
forced him Monday on the Yale and
the additional brigade that will reach
him soon it may be possible to make
even more rapid progress in the ad.
vance upon Santiago, as these men can
be relied upon to relieve the main body
of troops from the necessity Of keeping
open the line of communication be-
tween Shafter and his base at Baiquiri.
Meanwhile further reinforcements are
being prepared and dispatched US rap.
idly as the best energies Of the depart.
ment can direct, and it is believed that
several thousand men sailed from
Tampa during the day directly for
Santiago. The department has had in
mind the difficulties Of the campaign
that are just developing to the public
eye, such as the use for the first time
in civilized warfare Of
Barbed Wire a. a Means Of Defense,
and acting upon the advice of some Of
our army officers who were in Cuba
while the fighting was confined to the
Spaniards and the insurgents, certain
number of men in each regiment have
been provided with wire cutters and
charged with the duty Of cutting down
these fences SO as to permit the ad.
vance of the troops.
The lines are being tightend around
Cuba and it will soon be impossible for
even small quantities of food or war
supplies to reach the Spaniards there.
The proclamation issued during the
day extending the blockade to the
south coast and San Juan, it is be-.
lieved, will accomplish this result. On
the south coast the Isle of Pines will
be cut off as transfer depot for cattle
and for other supplies coming from
Jamaica and Central Ameica.
