IN A DAY OR TWO

Opinion at Washington That the First

tiago proper. The importan: event of
the day was the generals message that
he could take the city in 4S hours, but
at considerable loss. Taken in connec.
ton with the announcement in another
dispatch that he was going to attack
without awaiting reinforcements it
will be seen that the officials have
grounds for their expectation that the
first general engagement of the war
will begin in a very short time. M.
merically the opposing armies are not
very different, the estimate of the
Spanish force being placed at ii, 900
men, thoroughly intrenched behind
Barbed Wire Fences and clock Houses,
as against about Is, 900 men under
Skaters command, aided by 1000
Cutans. One Of the gravest elements
in the problem, however, are the Span.
ish warships, for unless Sh after is ma.
terially assisted by Sampson, who
might engage the full attention of the
Spanish ships, their fire upon the
American advancing forces would be
Tery hard to meet. The military au.
thorities here say that General Linares
has shown great military tactics in
slowly retiring during the last few
days, as he has gradually drawn our
troops away from the protection of the
American ships and brought them
close to the fire Of the
Spanish Ships in Santiago Harbor.
For this reason it was with relief that
the announcement was received here
that Shafter had succeeded in landing
all OF his artillery, including his siege
train, TOR unless Sampson can be relied
npon to force his way into the harbor
and attack the Spanish ships, the siege
guns planted on heights commanding
the bay will be the main reliance of
General Shafter in offsetting the pres.
ence Of the Spanish ironclads.
Undoubtedly Shafter is animated to
attack as soon as possible by his knowl.

ments for Linares from Manzanillo, for
with this additional force Skaters
position would be disagreeable, if not
perllous, at lea st until he had received
reinforcements.

SPAIN'S CONDITION
is DESPERATE
Her Treasury Exhausted---He Troops
in Cuba and Porto Rico Without
Proper Food and Short of Am
munitiOn.

MADRID, July 13.-The financial stu
alton of Spain is most desperate, and
the government is determined if the
war faction continues in its suicidal de-
mand for the continuance of hostilities
to make known the whole truth to the
people of the kingdom of Spain. Enor-
NOUS sums advanced by the Bank of
Spain to the government have been ex-
hausted, and their only recourse is to
default on the payment of interest on
the debt or issue six or seven per cent
bonds guaranteed doubly by the bank
of Spain and the customs.
Troops in Cuba and Porto Rico are
without proper food, and ammunition
is very short. The government believes
it the army realized the desperate con.
dltions with which Spain is confronted,
the soldiers would be quieted, leaving
only the Carlists and Republicans to
deal with.

REPORT OF
ADMIRAL DEWEY
Received by the Navy Department Yes
terday Isla Grande Taken by
Dewey's Ships.

WASHINGTON. July 14.-The navy de-
partment received the following report
from Dewey yesterday:
"Aguinaldo informs me that his
troops have taken all the Subig bay
ports except the Isla Grande, which
they were prevented from taking by the
German man-of-war Irene. On July
7th the Raleigh and Concord went there /;
they took the island and about 800 men,
with arms and ammunition. There
was no resistance. The Irene retired
from the bay on their arrival. I shall
send the Boston to help Aguinaldo. 1t
is not practicable to send to Guam. No
troop vessels are available.
DEWEY"
Isla Grande is the place Germany has
long coveted, and the war department
believes that Dewey's prompt action
saved complication with Germany.
Gable advIces say that the German
officers in the harbor are almost ineo-
lent in demeanor, conveying the i'm
preston that the KAISER has chip on
his shoulder for Uncle Sam to knock off.
The war department has perfect con-
fdence in Dewey. The hero of Manila
says he has not been officious, but Ger
many fully understands that he is mas
ter at Manila.
