PANDO AND CERVERA TO HANG.
They Will BE Held Personally Re-
sponsibie For the Welfare of
HOi,sou and Men.


Washington, June 2i.-Admirai
Sampson and General Shafter will be
instructed TO hold Admiral Cervera
and General Pando, in command at
Santiago, personally responsible for
The safety of Lieutenant Hobson and
his men.
If they are maltreated or killed by
the Spanish, then Cervera and General
Pando are to be hanged when they
fall into our hands, as eventually they
must.
President Mckinley and Secretary
Long are very much agitated over the
refusal TO exchange, and they have de-
termined on drastic measures to save
the heroes of the Merrimac. 1t is prob.
able that Ceryera aud Pando will be
notified by flag of truce before the bat
tie begins that they are to be held
personally responsible for the prison
ers in their charge.
Orders to this effect will be sent to-
day, as the administration Is thor
oughly aroused owe the suspicious ac-
tons of the Spaniards. Contradictory
reports are aioat in regard TO eX-
change of the Merrimac prisoners.
1t is asserted that Captain Genera,
Blanco has been authorized to exercise
his discretion In the matter, but at
the same time the government has
called his attention TO the fact that
any movements for the purpose of ef-
fecting the exchange at Santiago
might enlighten the enemy as to the
state of the d~efenses.

MAY Be MUCH EASIER
THAN IS EXPECTED
Conquest of Santiago Province Not
Expected to Take Many
Days.
PREPARED FOR WHAT MAY COME
Successfully Landed and in Fight
ing Trim There viii Be
No Anxiety.
PREPARED FOR WHAT MAY COME
SPANISH SOLDIERS IN BAD SHAPE
Their Hospital Service Is Wholly
inadequate and tn This Fact
IL Attributed the Great
Mortality.

New York, June FLA Times WASH
ington special says: The capture. OF
Santiago may turn out TO be easier
than expected, but preparations have
been made upon the assumption that
the Spanish viii make a resistance
equal to that which would be made by
the same number OF American troops
holding a like position. But The Span
ish will be weaker than Sbafter and
:he fleet combined, while a late report
about the activity and efficiency of the
insurgents lead the army men TO hope
their assistance will be of some value.
While there is not much anxiety here
concerning Shafter and his army, there
rs a universal desire to hear of his ar
rival aud of his successful landing.
The army and navy men agree in tho
opinion that if the army reaches San
tiago or a point Mt which it is intended
to land 1t before Monday, or even Tues
day, il will have done very well.
General Shafter was rather expect
ed to run ahead Of the feet and troops,
and then arrive at Santiago or Guam
ranamo somewhat before other yes-
sells. taking the risk which is not re-
garded as great, of meeting with Span
ish cruisers. The assumption by ma
val officers is that any danger of that
kind would be greatly reduced by send
ing one Of the convoy vessels along
with the Seguranca as a guard for the
commanding general.
But an officer of the army who has
seen "a great deal of service, and who
has a high opinion Of the ability of the
United States army, expresses the
opinion that the campaign against
Santiago will he a short one, and that
it will not be superior fighting ability
alone that will give victory TO the men
under General Shafter. Although the
United States forces are not all prop
erly clad, most of the mel have good
shoes, all have plenty OF food and they
have medical attention.
The ease is quite different with the
Spanish soldiers. Their commissariat
is bad. Except in garrisons unusually
well taken care OF the hospital service
is inadequate, and 10 that indifference
is to be attributed the great mortality
of the Spanish troops.
The populace believe that Great Bri-
tain and the United States have united
in the blockade. Officers Of her mates
tvs steamship Talbot were said To have
obtained valuable information on the
condition of the garrison aud reported
it to the United States admiral. They
believe Cervera's feet has been sunk
md that Santiago is AT Simpsons
mercy.

The weeks campaign in eastern
Cuba resulted in practically demolish-
ing the outer Notifications Mt Santiago
In anticipation of the arrival of troops,
and occupation of the harbor of Guan
tanamo.
Military resistance to occupation has
practically ceased since the lombard
ment Of Wednesday. An intercepted
official report of the Spanish com
mandaut indicates his are
exhausted. His soldiers are now on
half rations. lie has supplies only for
the remainder OF June.
That a close Gordon is maintained by
the Cubans abount Guantanamo II
illustrated by the tact that Official
Spanish communications, sent in dn'
plicate by land and water, were in
terccpted and the Spanish messengers
shot while attempting to pass the line.
The past three nights have been
comparatively quiet in the camp the
marines hold on the crest of the hill
near Guantanamo. At dusk the Sofun.
teers from the warshIp go ashore and
camp near the hill, TO be on hand il
ease of an emergency. The Cubans go
far out in the chappafa al to prevent the
Spauiards from stealing a march on
the camp. General Perez, command
ing the eastern division Of the insult
gent army, called on Captain Mccall
Of the Marblehcad and reported he had
5000 men, of whom 1900 would rein.
force the marines in u few days.
There are many bands Of insurgents
along the coast, westward of Santiago.
The bombardmcnt of Guantanamo
bay was very heavy. The Spaniards
fred only five shots. The ships
steamed to within 5000 yards Of the
forts and fred with deadly accuracy.
The little Suwanee sent shots straight
into the foundations. The Texas fin
iShed the business. two l2-inch shells

The Marblehead turned her attention

southeast of the harbor, and speedily
demolished them, sending the Spanish
garrison flying. AS the Spaniards ran
down the mainland the St. Paufs b
inch guns trained ON them and severai
were seen 90 fail.
The bombardment lasted an hour
and a quarter and was for the purpose
Of preventing the movements of Span
ish troops from the town to the fortt-
.cations. The msurgent forces nor
only have proved daring scouts, but
brave fighters and good shots with Les
rifles. Our men won their praise aud
took for strong cooperation upon the
part Of the Cuban army.
