The Situation at Santiago.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Saturday,
Juue lip. m.-Rear Admiral Samn-
sou and Commodore Schley, with
their combined forces off Santi-
ago de Cuba, are slowly but
surely cutting off effectually every
source of outside aid and Santiago is
now isolated from the world and is
down to famine rations. When Admi-
raj Cervera arrived with his fleet, the
people welcomed him for the relief they
thought he would bring, but instead of
food he brought then several hundred
more men to fed. The only aid he had
to offer was the tons of ammunition in
his ships magazines. A map OF the
harbor furnished to-day by Spanish spies
shows that the Spanish cruiser Reina
Mercedes, which was disabled May 81,
was towed into the bay behind the
Socapa battery, where she lies, with
two torpedo boats, Half mile farther
up is the Vizcaya, commanding with
her broadside the two narrow entrances
ty the east and west of Cay Smith.
Half mile north and at the gate of the
third narrow entrance lies the Almi.
rante Oquendo, and half a mile to the
northeast are the Cristobal Colon and
Maria Teresa. The ships are about
mile and half from the city proper,
shallow water forbidding them to go
much closer. The sunken collier
Merrimac is directly in the narrow
part of the channel.

LONDON, June 15.-The Star to-day
reiterates the story that Emperor Will
liam of Germany has ordered the Ger
man consul at Manila to oppose the
, debarkation of American troops unless
in sufficient force to maintain order and
protect the Germans. The Star adds
that notification to this effect has been
officially given to the United States EN-
bassy at Berlin and to Secretary Day
at Washington. Admiral Dietrichs, &C
cording to the Star, has 2.400 troops
and he could dsembark 1900 with two
batteries of artillery, for the partial &C.
cupation of Manila. Continuing, the
Star says: Germany is not likely to
have taken such grave step without
securing the adhesion of other powers
interested in the far East, namely Rus
STA, Japan and Eugland. They are GER
tainly hostile to Germay's project, but
it is not thought likely that they will
raise objections and we may soon have
very i'm ortant news from Manila"
