ENGLISH ADMIRAL'S VIEWS.
Sir John Colomb On the Situation at
Santiago.

London, June Admiral Sir John
Colomb writes as follows to a morn
ing paper with reference to the Situa-
ton at Santiago de Cuba: Il am in
clined to think that for the purpose of
blocking the egress of a hostile war
squadron this operation of sinking the
Merrimac is a unique mode, though
blocking up the harbor by sinking ships
at the entrance is not new. What may
be noted. however, with advantage is
that the peculiar policy of Admiral
Sampson is the policy Of British adj
mirals, especially of Lord Nelson, which
was to tempt a blockaded fleet to put
to sea in order that it might be fallen
upon and destroyed, for when this has
been done, a blockading fleet is re-
Iieved to carry out other duties.
Sampson wants every ship that can
be spared and if the Spanish ships are
really blocked in, most OF his blockad-
ing force may be detached. Still, our
policy in q like case, would not be TO
block the channel and would have left
a squadron off Santiago large enough
to make a fair fight should Cervera
determine to try his fortunes. Never
theless, Admiral SIMPSONS caution
confirms what naval men, who are also
students of naval history, have always
insisted upon-that the entry of war
SHIPS the pOIlS VI an CltClity NdS
no more likely to be the practice of
steamers than of sailing ships. All
through this war, however, what was
expected by the advanced school OF
naval thinkers, and a thing upon which,
indeed, much of our policy has been
founded, has been conspicuous by
absence Admiral Sampson has never
used his torpedo boats as it was ex-
pected they would be used. He has
never sent one of them into a Cuban
port by night to destroy ships such as
might be found at Santiago.
TT is plain that if a 5000 ton ship
could run into the narrowest part of
channel at night, the torpedo boats
might have swarmed right through
and into the inner harbor. What has
caused the expectation of these adj
vanced naval thinkers to be disap-
pointed cannot yet be known, but I'M
less things altar before the war is over.
we shall be found reconsidering cut
policy in this regard"

ACCOUNT FROM HAVANA.
Were Repulsed and Did
But Little Damage.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press. }
Havana, June Go p. m.-(Delayed in
transmission) Details from Spanish
bardment this (Monday) morning of the
forts of Santiago de Cuba by the Ameri-
can fleet say the warships of the United
States fired about 1900 projectlles of all
kinds. This fire, the Spaniards add, was
answered by MORO Castle and the batter
les at Socapa and Punta Gorda. At noon
it is added, another bombardment began
against Agradores, east of Santiago de
Cuba, the firing lasting one hour. Both
attacks, the Spaniards assert, We're re-
pulsed.
MORO Castle is admitted to have been
damaged as was the exterior head
quarters" built during the time of peace
at Cayo Smith. and in addition, the
Spanish cruiser Reina, Mercedes is ad-
mitted to have been Slightly damaged"
The Spanish commander at Santiago
reports that the American fire did not
dismount one piece of artillery, and he
disappeared from sight before dark
The Spanish army losses. according to
official report, are one soldier killed one
one chief, four officers and q soldiers
wounded. The Spanish navy losses are
reported to be one chief and five sailors
killed and one officer and u sailors
wounded: Finally the Spanish version
of the affair says: THE American losses
are supposed to be considerable
lated General Linares. the Spanish COM
mander at Santiago. and those who took
part in the fighting, saying he will call
the attention of the Spanish government
to the "heroism exhibited by all the Span
1sh forces in such an unequal combat"

MORO IN RUINS.
Americans Are Entrenched and Are
Landing Heavy Guns.

New York, June IA special from
Cape Haytien, describing the lombard
ment of Santiago de Cuba on Monday,
saws that the forts of the harbOr are
now a mass of ruins The MORO is a
shapeless pile of ruined masonry and
dismantled guns and the Estrella bat
terry is utterly ruined. This result, the
dispatch says, was the work of ten
American ironclads which passed back
and forth from Port Cabrera on the
west to Port Aguadores on the east Of
the harbor entrance, discharging their
heavy guns as they steamed along, so
that scarcely a yard of the coast
escaped the deadly cannonading.
At Port Augadores the fort recently
constructed by Colonel Ordonez, the
artillery expert, was blown TO dust and
Colonel Ordonez himself was badly
wounded by the flying splinters and
debris. Captain Sanchez and Lieu
tenant Yrezar, artillery officers. were
also wounded. Two infantry ieuten-
ants, Garcia and Perez and u privates
are reported fatally wounded.
Later III the day the American ships
moved closer toward tie mouth of the
harbor. where the old cruiser Reina
Mercedes had been discerned attempt
ing to place explosives about the hull
of the Merrimac 10 blow her to pieces
and clear the channel A 13-inch shell
from the Oregon landed squarely abaft
her pilot house and tore her upper
works to shreds.
Her second commodore five of her
sailors, and q marine were killed. A
second lieutenant of the. Riena Mer-
cedes and 16 of her seamen were very
seriously wounded.
A perfect shower of shell and shot
fell upon and around the old cruiser
and she was so badly damaged that her
crew, by order of Admiral Csrvera.
abandoned the ship for the shore for
safety.
About noon, according to the Cape
Haytien dispatch, landing party of
American marines near Daiquiri was
attacked by Spanish infantry and a
squadron of cavalry. The insurgents
were posted in the neighborhoOd, and,
with the aid of marines, successfully
took up a position, holding it. and later
making it a base from which they oper-
ated The Spanish force was defeated
with heavy losses, and driven back to-
ward Santiago, leaving their wounded
behind them.
The Americans are now entrenched
near Daiquiri, and are landing heavy
guns, preparatory to moving them to-
ward Santiago and laying siege to the
city.
There is a panic in Santiago. The res
idents, who can, are fleeing to the coun-
try, joining the insurgents or doing
anything to get away from the certain
destruction that now awaits CerVera's
feet and the forces of Pando and Lin
ares

TRANSPORTS FOR PHILIPPINES.
Centennial Will Not Go, But Others
May Be Drafted.

Washington, June Assistant Sec
rotary of War Meiklejohn is rapidly
shaping the question of ships for trans
portation of troops to the Philippines.
1t was definitely decided tonight that
the steamboat Centennial will not be of
the fleet, as she has been found unsea-
V orthy. Acting on the reports of the
vessels condition, Mr.. Meiklejohn di-
rected that she be thoroughly e ahmed,
and tonight he received a telegram
from General Merritt, stating that
Lieutenant Lopez and Naval Construc-
tor Snow had examined the vessel, and
report that she is not now in sea-
worthy condition, and should not be
permitted to sail. Acting upon this in
formation. Mr.. Meiklejohn Immediately
telegraphed Peter Larson, of Seattle,
owner of the vessel, that his charter
for the government has been cancelled.
IT is probable that the war depart
ment will impress into government SER
vice the steamships Senator, City of
PUe bio and Queen, of the Pacific Coast
wise Steamship company. Assistant
Secretary Meikeljohn today telegraph
ed General Merritt to have these vessels
Inspected, with a view to their use as
troop ships, and, if found suitable, to
impress them into service.
In addition to these vessels, the war
department has in view several ships
of the Northern Pacific Steamship COM
pany. This is a British corpora ton, and
the vessels are the Arizona, Victoria,
Tacoma, Columbia and Olympia. Mr..
Meikeljohn this evening received a tel
egram from the company, stating that
these vessels would be chartered to the
government on condition of receiving
American registry, at practically the
prices the war department had pro-
posed to them

OFFICIAL ADVICES.
Sampson Reports That He Silenced
the Enemy.

Washington, June 7.-Shortly after Z
o'clock this evening information con-
firmatory of the Associated Press dis
patches concerning the bombardment
ment of the Notifications of Santiago
reached the navy department. 1t came
in the form of a cablegram from I'D
miral Sampson, which was made public
in the following:
Secretary of the navy: Bombarded
Santiago, 730 to 10 a. m. today, june 6.
Silenced works quickly, without injury
of any kind, though within 1000 yards.
SAMPSON
While the officials of the navy depart
ment declined to say definitely whether
the bulletin contained all the informa-
ton given in Admiral Simpsons cable
gram, there is reason to believe that it
did not. The officials refused to discuss
the subject, or to vouchSafe further in
formation than was posted on the bull
letin board.
Only one additional point was elected
by questioning. That was that the
cablegram contained no information
about the landing of either land forces
or marines.
The information received from Ad-
miral Sampson was evidently quite sat
isfactory to the naval authorities.
While they declined to discuss either
the reasons for, or the probable conse-
quences of the bombardment, they were
thoroughly satisfied with the results
accomplished. 1t is pretty we'll under
stood that the bombardment was for
the purpose of paving the way either
for the landing of troops OF merely to
cover the landing of marines.
Dispatches received by the Associated
Press from Spanish sources tonight .n
dictate that a landing was effected,
either during or Immediately after the

All plans for the occupation of
Puerto Rico are kept very secret in the

them is not ascertained, but the as
sumption is that the best suggestions
have been made by the careful mind of
General Schofield, General Miles be-
Ing occupied very fully with the di-
rection Of routine business and only
having time to consider plans with the
purpose of carrying them out When
II comes to the details of business at
Porto Rico, Santiago or in the Philip
pines, 1T is understood that the presi-
dent viii insist that the officer in com
mand Of the expedition, be he Merritt,
Shafter or Miles himself, shall be per-
united to work out each for himself,
as completely as may be with co-opera-
ton with the navy, his own plan OF
campaign.
Hot as it is in Santiago, considered
one of the summer towns in Cuba, it
is not hotter for the Spaniards than it
VIII be tor the United States army and
navy.
1t is the opinion of some of the presi-
dents adviser that the war can be
terminated before winter, if the sum-
1ner is employed to good advantage.
Movements upon Porto Rico and Santi-
ago, followed by successes and prob
ably by season of camping on &C
quired territory that is not unhealth-
ful, even for northern men, will main
tain the spirits of the troops not yet
ready, but preparing to be ready by
and by.
The navy and the army will both
be occupied in the operations of the
army and possible ere the summer is
ended, it may be that the navy would
be called upon to go to Cadiz to look
fer the lost fleet of Spanish reserve
vessels. That has been thought of
several times and with Porto Rico oc-
cupied, Santiago taken, Havana in
vested and the Cadiz fleet not yet on
this side, It will be possible to spare

ships to run across the ocean and see
what has become of Admiral Camara !

TROOPS AT HONOLULU.
Americans Were Given Great Rece2-
ton June l.

San Francisco, Jure THE steamer
Belgic arrived from the Orient via
Honolulu early this morning but was
sent into quarantine, three cases of
smallpox having developed on board
since her departure from Hongkong.
One case was landed at Maya saki, an
other at Kobe and the third 81 Homo

The Belgic sailed from Honolulu on
