General Miles received dispatch
early yesterday morning from General

and was giving opportunity for obser-
walton over a great sweep of country.
This in itself was of incalculable value

had been made, but they were of little
value compared to what could be

CHANCES OF A RETREAT.
of the Spaniards Leaving
Santiago.

WASHINGTON, July 2.--The military
authorities here are fully considering
the chances of a retreat of the Spanish
army from Santiago and are endeavor-
ing so to shape events that General
Skaters force will not only take San
t1ago, but will capture the $4,000 Span
iards before they get away northward
to effect a juncture with General Pando.
Full information as to the possible lines
of retreat has been placed at the dis
posal of the war department.
One of the most interesting state
ments is that of General Manager Cox
of the Spanish American Mining COM
pany at Baiquiri, who is thoroughly ae-
qualnted with all the country surround
ing Santiago. He shows thak. the two
possible lines of retreat are: YFirst, by
the road to Eel Cobre; or, second, by fol
lowing the line of the Sebanillo and
Marato railroad. The first line will be
easy for about the first ten miles, or as
far as Ell Cobre, but after that the coun-
try is mountainous and barren and
would not afford subsistence, and the
pass to reach the central plateau of the
island would be difficult.
The more likely line of retreat will be
along the line of the above mentioned
railroad, crossing the Sierra Maestro at
FL Cristo, pass 600 feet above the sea
ten miles north of Santiago, which is
the lowest pass through the Sierra
Maestro for many miles The country
back of this is rolling plateau of rich
agricultural land. 1t is probable that
if the Spaniards retreat by this road
they will make stand ON the plateau
ar 1ctn hn1 Of
Cristo.
The only other pass through the
mountains near this points at Escandel
summit, about six miles in a straight
line east of FL Cristo pass. Escandel
summit is 1900 feet above the sea and
is reached from Santiago via Caney.
The road from Santiago to Caney is
fairly good, being wide enough for ve-
hicles. Between Caney and Escandel
the road, which is no more than trail,
ascends the mountains and is very wind
ing and broken.
Beyond Escandel across the range the
country is heavily timbered and broken
and the roads are not good. 1t is an
ideal country for ambush. This is
probably the only pass through which
the Spanish position could be turned
should the Spanish troops occupy the
Cristo plateau and pass.
The railroad has been fortified by a
line of blockhouses, protecting the
bridges, and certain zones of cultivation
inclosed between these forts have been
planted during all the time of the war
and would afford a supply for the army
for a certain time. In the meanwhile
sweet potatoes could be planted, which,
in three months, would ripen.
The zones of cultivation exist along
the road as far as San Luis, at which
point there is considerable country in
cultivation. On the other branch (the
Sabanilla branch) the zones of cult
walton extend as far as Sango.
