CERVERA'S FATE.
The Navy Is Patiently waiting for Its
Opportunity.

Copyright 1898 by Associated Press.
OF Santiago de Cuba. June %. by as
ISOLATED press dispatch boat to Kings
ton, Jamaica, June &c. 6 p. m.-While
the army advances the navy lies pa
tiently in front OF MORO castle awaiting
its opportunity. Before the end Of next
week the fate OF Santiago and Cervera
should be determined. BY that time II
Is believed the Spanish troops Will have
been forced back upon the city and de-
feated in a decisive engagement. ST.
m~ultaneously the forts at the mouth OF
the harbor should be captured. under
cover OF a naval bombardment Three
things will then be left 20 Cervera-to
surrender with his ships, to surrender
after destroying his ships, or to make
a dash out to sure destruction He may
forestall fate by making al attempt to
get out Of the harbor before the army
accepts its fate. The first Spanish ship
TO appear Off MORO castle VIII be sunk
within II minutes. Nothing IL Admiral
Cervera's fleet could survive the con-
centrated fire of all the battleships In
the navy and three Of the best cruisers.
The general opinion among naval ex-
perts is that Santiago town will be
burned by the S%paniards before they
s~errender. that Admiral Cervera will
destroy his ships and that he will then
submit TO the enemy. II this supposi-
ton is correct. the whole work should
be accomplished in a week.
II is hardly likely that the army can
effect it's purpose without considerable
loss. although it's superiority i'm num-
bers. caliber and generalship insures an
ultimate sweeping victory.
There is every possibility that the
Spanish troops may surrender indie
pendently OF Admiral Cervera. If the
Spanish admiral hould insist on thus
prolongins the agony, he would he sub
jected to a fire from his own fortihca-
tons and the army seige guns. If these
proved ineffective, the harbor mouth
wound be dragged. the mines removed,

Admiral Cervera would be finished OF.

deaths resulted. and only one man was
seriously wounded. Had the S~paniards
been as clever with their rifles as they
were I'm their methods OF attack and re-
treat. the American loss would have
been frightful.
When Monday came there was re-
lief from active work. very few shots
being fired during the day. The Gu
ban were put on skirmish duty that
night. and so well did they do the
brush beating that not a shot was fired
all night. Tuesday morning Colonel
Huntington. with 200 marines, and 80
CubaDs, marched on the principal
camp OF the guerrillas. five miles east
ward. Although the march over the
hills and through the heavy push and
under a terrific sun caused many to
drop of exhaustion, all finally arrived
In sight Of the desired point at noon.
Within $50 yards Of the Spanish camp
the Americans were arrayed in battle
line. The Spanish opened fire. when
the marines. dropping or their knees.
returned the compliment. pouring in
volley after volley as steadily as though
at drill. Their firing was deadly, and
after 20 minutes fighting the Spaniards
began 10 break for cover and retreat.
When the Spanish were routed and
the marines swept down the hillside. the
insurgents went almost mad with de-
light. Fifteen dead S%paniards were
found about the camp thicket, and es-
Inmates on the total dead range from 40
to 20. Seven prisoners were taken and
sent aboard the M~arblehead Two Gu
bans were killed and -four wounded,
but not an American was hurt with the
exception Of Private Walker. whose
finger was blistered by a bullet.

26.-lt is no longer a question that a
large force of troops are about to be
ordered from Camp Thomas to the

The order does not specify just when
these troops will go forward or to what
point they will be sent for e~mbarkation,
but IL H. understood that they go to
Tampa for direct departure for cuba.
That the order means an almost immc-
date move Was signi6ed 10y the general

partment received large stores, lnClud-
ing Springfield rifles and other equip
ments sufficient 10 complete the fitting
out Of 20 regiments. As soon a. the
