\ General Expectation.


In official circles the expectation
was general tina, Santiago would
be ours very soon. The main source OF
Apprehension was that the Spanlards
may have succeeded to considerable
degree IN evacuatlDg the town before
the American lines We're completed, so
that when the Americans entered the
city. II would be found empty, with
perhaps nothing more than "a desperate
rear guard of Spaniards left TO protect
and conceal the retreat of the main
body Of the troops. There were sew.
eral indications Of some such move,
which Is supposed 10 have been III
progress for the past three or four days.
General Shafter himself reported uu.
der date of Sunday. that the Spaniards
had evacuated u small town on the
west side OF the bay, one Of the subur bs
Of Santiago. while the Associated Press
dispatches of Monday referred to the
departure Of a body Of Spanish troops
from Santiago towards iolguln.
Not Couciu.,,>. Of Evacuation.
OF course these facts are not conclu.
by the Spanish army. but the fact can.
not be concealed that there was some ap-
prehens,on entertained that the main
result Of the investment OF Santiago,
aside from the important achievement
OF driving the Spanish squadron 10 its
destruction. would be the inheritance BY
Shafter of several thousand wounded
Spanish soldiers and many more thou.

plan Of operation by General Shafter.
will rebound to that officers credit, for
General Miles has declared explicitly
that he does not assume tbs conduct Of
these operations. He is simply there
In his capacity rs commanding general
TO look over the field. and ascer.
tain whether the operations are going
along as they should. But with his
appearance comes very substantial as.
sistance for General Shafter. With
him on the Yale were more than 1000
men and considerable artillery, while
tho Colum bia, which formed part OF
his expedition. is expected to report
her arrival at any moment with the
remainder Of tho troops. As General
Shnfter has referred to the thinness Of

forcements will be very gratefully re.
