OPERATIONS OF TROOPS ADVANCING Ae

MAP SHOWING

The above map, made by a civil engineer
who knows every inch of the Santiago coun-
try, explains the position of the American
and Spanish troops. The map, together with
the following notes. gives a good idea of the
operations up to date as well as what is
likely to be the future movements.
After passing Guasama the road on which
Shafter Is advancing ascends on to the pla-
teau on which Sevilla, where the Spaniards
are making a stand is situated. through a
not too precipitous, but on both sides the
walls are Of considerable height, and those
passing through this canon would be under
the direct fire of soldiers along the sides.
1t Is here, after passing through Guasama,
that the American advance, composed Of the
rough riders, was ambuscaded, and, until
they forced themselves to the summit were
at great disadvantage. Immediately upon
the summit the land is comparatively clear,
being an old, abandoned sugar plantation,
position, there are no particular physical
obstacles.
"It hardly seems probable that the Spanish
would make stand at Sevilla, for there the
land pitches off suddenly down to the al
luvial wooded plane or bottom extending

back, If once forced from their position, the
Spanish army would be lost. 1t Is more rea-
sonable to suppose that they have retreated
up their position upon the ridge back Of
which Santiago lies, extending down to the
bay.
1.-THE bottom is of alluvial soil and in
time Of rain is boggy and the road bad
There are few farms scattered through
the Americans arrive at the San Juan river,
about a thousand feet from the base of the
Santiago or San Juan ridge, they will have
to pass over at least a thousand feet of per-

fectly levelled, cleared land, and to cross
this space and carry the ridge, which Is at
least seventy-f1ye feet high in the face OF
the Spanish army armed s5ith the efficient
Mauser rifle, would be f.1zaf doIs project.
The San, Juan river south cs the road flows
through this lowland for a mile and then
enters canon, through which 1t forces it's
way to the sea at Aguaderes. Should the
American army pass down the river on the
ford and then move in the direction of Moro
four miles from the road they would be we'll
upon the summit Of the MORO plateau, which
is elevated above the Bay of Santiago from
$50 to $50 feet, and which approaches close
to the bay and declines precipitously to the
water.
"An army, once in possession of this
plateau, would not only be able to assault
MORO from the land side, approaching it
almost on level with the rear fortifcations
which are slight, but would also have pos
session of Aguadores, where the railroad
from siboney leaves the sea and passes over
to Santiago bay. There is no town of
Aguadores. 1t is simply name represent
ed by the railroad water tank. Here there
is good beach, where in ordinary weather
small boats could land and the command
transportation of artillery, which, once on
the heights overlooking the Bay Of Santiago,
would command not only anything in the
bay. but the whole city.
1T is at Aguadores that the French cable

would be possible to cut in shallow water
the only cable now connecting Cuba with the
outer world-that of the English company
running to Jamaica. Its landing place is In
the Morro is on and the Estrella fort inside
the harbor.

tago and the Moro, the low northern elonga-
tion of which Santiago is built upon, they
could turn to the right, moving along the
bottoms OF the San Juan river to the north
and get into position on level ground north
of Santiago. Or they could skirt this low
land and get into position on the foothills
north of Santiago which are almost within
rifle shot Of, the city. This lowland to the
right of the Sevilla road and circling SAINT
iago to the north and then to the west, is of
small streams. making it difficult to 'oper-
ate in.
THE Spanish army as it now exists in
Santiago will probably have to depend on
itself. There is talk of it being reinforced
by large body Of troops from Holguin,
impossible proposition. By the nearest road
which troops could march, and they must
follow the roads, for the country is heavily
timbered, 1t is at least 130 miles from Hol-
for eighty miles, either settled up or under
any cultivation. 1t Is devoid Of water, and
there is absolutely nothing upon which an
army could subsst A column of Spanish
troops trying to make this passage would be
harrassed and held at bay by comparatively
fore Gen. Pando could reach Santiago no
doubt his provisions would be exhausted
Should the Cuban leaders, who thoroughly
understand the situation, exercise ordinary

iago except with his army in a wrecked con-
dition.
I Another advantage in gaining possession
Of Aguadores would be this: that 1t would
obviate the necessity Of marching our troops
Sevilla, and they could be transported, to-
gether with all provisions, by the iron COM
pany's railroad either from Firmeza or
siboney to Aguadores, just behind Morro."

PRESS TONE DEsPONDENT.
Papers OF Madrid Bemonning tn
Country's Hard Fate.

MADRID, June 26.-The cabinet held
long session today for the purpose Of
devising national defenses, Senior Sa-
gasta, the premier. endeavoring to per-
suaoe his colleagues to defer the con-
sideration Of domestic questions.
Changes In the ministry were discuss
ed
The tone Of the newspaper press is
respondent and many Journals bemoan
the fact that the powers have abandon
ed Spain while she is defending their
cause. They say that France having
received commercial concessions from
Washington remains Indifferent, while
Germany keeps in the back ground and
Russia uses Spain as a cats paw in
her diplomacy. Spain must in no case,
the papers declare, accept the interven-
t1cn of Europe. 1t would be better to
treat directly with the enemy.
1t IS hoped in official circles that the
Spanish forces will be able to defend
Santiago until Gen. Pandos reinforce
ments arrive there by forced marches.
The Americans are advancing in three
columns via -Aaeares, Firanga and Jura-
qua, hanked by insurgents, in order 10
force the Spanish positions at Seyiua
and Granpena.
Capt. Gen. Bianco telegraphed from
Cuba that the American troops engaged

troops which are to compose the third
expedition to the Philippines last night
served to keep many of the men awake,
so anxious were they for start to the
Philippines.
All night long the camp cooks work.
ed to prepare the last breakfast in the
camp for the departing soldiers and
to get the one days cooked rations
with which the order to embark said
the men must be supplied.
This work required the aid Of many
privates, and the noise caused by hur-
ried preparations made sleep almost
impossible.
During the morning hours carloads
upon carloads Of people were landed
near the regimental camps, and it is
safe to say at least 5000 people visited
the camp before orders to march were
given. Very few Of the visitors to the
camp went out empty handed. Many
were the packages containing little
necessaries and delicacies packed up
with the luggage Of the departing
troops. Many Of them who had not
received comfort bags were supplied
with this little necessity to healthful
soldier life this morning, and the alb
solutely necessary abdominal bandages
were furnished to the departing men
who were without them.
Shortly after II o'clock the sounding
Of bugles announced to the civilians
and soldiers alike that the time for
parting had come, and the soldiers
must form for the march to the water
front, where the transports awaited
them.
Along the entire extent Of the five
mile march an escort squad of police
Was obliged to force back the throngs
of people to make narrow lane for the
progress of the parting companies. The
soldiers were cheered at every STEP
good-byes and good wishes were mo-
mentarily shouted: hand flags were
waved, flowers were thrown and every
whore emotion was visible, as when the
FIRST California regiment of San Fran
cisco boys marched away.
When the triumphal march ended, the
soldiers We're taken on board their re-
spective transports. They were given
tremendous ovation by thousands of
citizens. who swarmed on and around
We wharves. 1t was an emotional as
well as physical relief when the en-
barkation was an accomp ished fact.

ready forgotten in view of anxiety In
regard to events in Cuba. The air is
full of rumors, but am assured by all
competent authorities that for the pres
ent, at least, neither Senior Sagasta nor
any other minister will resign.
The Madrid correspondent of the
I'aily Mail says: The government is
exceedingly anxious, and ministers do
not disguise their belief that the situa-
tion is of the gravest character. The
government has called the attention of
the powers to the fact that, while Ad-
miral Dewey is himself inactive, he is
favoring the insurrection of veritable
robber bands.
The Madrid correspondent Of the
Daily Telegraph says Senor Sagasta
yesterday said: "Fhe rumors about
peace negotiations and the conditions
for ending hostilities are entirely
groundless. The time has not yet ar
rived for ending hostilities.''

of Santiago and Admiral Cervera
should be decided.
By that time, it is believed, the Span
ish troops will have been forced back
upon the city and defeated in a decisive
engagement. simultaneously, the
forts at the mouth Of the harbor should
be captured, under cover of a naval
bombardment. Three things will then
be left to Cervera-to surrender with
his ships, to surrender after destroying
his ships, or to make dash out to
sure destruction.
He may forestall fate by making an
attempt to get out of the harbor before
the army accomplishes Its end. The
first Spanish ship to appear off Moro
castle would be sunk within fifteen
minutes. Nothing in Admiral Cerve-
ra's fleet could survive the concentrat-
ed fire of all the battleships in the
navy and three Of the best cruisers.
The general opinion of naval ex-
perts is that Santiago town will be
burned by the Spanish troops before
they surrender; that Admiral Cervera
will destroy his ships, and that he will
then submit to the enemy. If this
supposition Is correct, the whole work
should be accomplished within a week.
1t is hardly likely the. army can ef-
feet it's purpose without considerable
loss, although it's superiority in num-
bers, caliber and generalship insures
a comparatively easy work. There is
possibility that the Spanish troops
may surrender independent Of Admiral
Cervera.
If the Spanish admiral should sthen
insist upon continuing the conflict, he
would be subject to fire from his own
forts, manned. with his own guns If
this should prove Intellectual, the har-
bor mouth would be dragged, the mines
removed, Admiral Sampson enter and
Cervera would be finished off,
When the Americans captured Bal
quiri, they found letter In the house

dressed to the Spanish commander at
