the campaign is not so much the con-
quest of the city as the capture or
destruction of Admiral Cervera's fleet.
He doubts the ability of the army TO
fight the Spanish vessels effectively,
because the ships are not only armored,
but have guns of greater size and range
than those of the invading force. If
the Americans attempt to mount their
guns on the hills overlooking the Span
ish fleet, it is argued that Cervera S
1t may be necessary to clear the way
for Admiral SIMPSONS fleet to enter
the bay and attack the enemys army.
He thinks the first effort of the army
will be to seize EI Morro and perhaps
La Socapa, after the American war
ships have bombarded the Spanish bat
teries into a proper condition of hu-
mility. He believes the forts will then
be taken by assault, after which the
channel to the bay can be cleared for
the entrance of the American warships.
He does not pretend to say how they
will accomplish the feat, but thinks
American valor and ingenuity may be
relied upon to solve the problem.

surrounded, and but for the reinforce
ments hurriedly sent forward, every
man would probably have been killed or
wounded.
There must have been nearly 1850
Spaniards in front and to the sides Of

when discussing the fight They held
the ridges with rifle pits and machine
guns, and had body of men in am

the road over which we We're advancing
Our advance forward struck the men
in ambush and drove them out. But
they left Captain Capron, Lieutenant
Thomas and about fifteen men killed or
wounded. The Spanish firing was ac-
curate SO accurate indeed, that it sur
p1ised me, and their firing was fearfully
heavy.
II want to say a word for our men,
continued Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt.
Every officer and man did his duty lip
TO the handle. Not man fiinched.''
From another officer, who took a
prominent part in the fighting, more de-
tails We're obtained.
When the firing began said he,
Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt took the
right wing with Troops G and X, un-
der Captains Llewellyn and jenkins,
and made to the support of Captain
Capron, who was getting it hard At
the same time Colonel Wood and Major
Brodie took the left wing and advanced
in open order on the Spanish right
wing. Major BrCdie was wounded be-
fore the troops had advanced 100 yards.
Colonel Wood then took the right wing,
and shifted Colonel Roosevelt to the
left.
I'm the meantime the fire of the Span
iards had increased in volume, but not
withstanding it, an order for general
charge was given, and with a yell the
men sprang forward.
Colonel Roosevelt, in front OF his
men, snatched a rifle and ammunition
belt from wounded soldier, and cheer
ing and yelling with his men, led the
advance. For a moment the bullets
were singing like a swarm OF bees all
around them, and every instant some
poor fellow went down. On the right
wing Captain McClintcck had his leg
broken by bullet from a machine gun,
While four of his men went down. At
the same time Captain LunO of the
Troop T lost nine of his men.
Then the reserves, Troops K and E,
were ordered up. Colonel Wood, with
his right wing, charged straight at a
blockhouse, $50 yards away, and Col
onel Roosevelt, on the left, charged at
the same time. Up the men went, yell
ing Like fiends, and never stopping to
return the fire of the Spaniards. but
kept on with a grim determination to
capture that blockhouse.

The Secretary took occasion to state
lowed the widest liberty of action. un-
restricted by unnecessary orders from
Washington. For this reason it is not
possible to foretell General Skaters 8
plan of operations against Santiago, the
matter being entirely in his hands.
General Greedy received a dispatch
last night from Lieutenant Colonel Al
len, in charge Of the signal corps with
Skaters army. He said he was about
to extend his line of telegraphic COM
municaton westward from Playa del
Este to Aguadore, which is only half a
dozen miles east of MORO Castle, and
much nearer the advance of the Amari-
can army. This will be done by shore
cable which already exists between the
two points. A regular telegraph serv-
ice has already been dispatched from
Tampa, so that in the course of few
days General Shafter will have teie-
graph in his own tent, putting him IN
direct communication with Washing
ton.
Assistant Secretary Allen has been
striving to procure for General Shafter
the tenders he desires for landing the
heavier supplies of the army and the
siege trains. He has just secured sew
eral GOLFERS at Key West, which, on
account of their light draught, will
serve admirably. These have been or
dered to steam with all speed for Bal
quri They should reach there by
Wednesday.

the advance must halt and wait until

In the Secretary's opinion the work
was going on yesterday. The forces
left Baiquiri and were being hurried up
TO the front near Savilla, where the
Spaniards are supposed to be in force.
The President. in his appreciation Of
General Skaters energy, has sent a
cablegram congratulating him ard the
men composing his army on the excel
lent work they have done.
Secretary Alger paid his tribute to-
day in the course of a short talk with
an Associated Press reporter. He said
he felt sure Shafter would prove HIM
self to be a wise, brave and prudent
General. He was particularly impressed
with one short statement in Shafter's
dispatches received yesterday, stating
that he wanted nothing, which the Sec
retary regarded as. an evidence of self
reliant character of the man.
Nevertheless, the Secretary is send
ing along reinforcements with all pos
sible haste. He believes General Duff

which embarked four days ago from
Newport News, will arrive at Baiauiri
tomorrow, and within four days 5000
more troops which left Fort Monroe to-
day. will be at the scene of action In

formal notice has yet been given of the
blockade of that port, but the Captains
action is in line with the construction
OF international law, namely, that
blockade may be initiated without for
NAL notice, by a simple warning from
a naval commander
The notice from Spain that the Gov

in purchasing three powerful arnnoced

squadron is at Port Said, there is still
doubt that the vessels are bound for
the Philippines.
Rumors reach here that the only iron

have returned to Spain, so that Canara
no longer possesses a force that would
threaten Dewey. If this be so. either
the Spanish have realized the fo!lv of
leaving the home coast unprotected. or
they have received information from
the British Government that the nayi-
cation of the Suez Canal cannot be
jeopardized by allowing such deep craft.

Some attention has been attracted by
special from Madrid to British pa

not to attack Dewey. but to seize and

pected if this be so that the object is

cupancy of the Philippines as would
justify a demand for their retention as

That the Spanish were thoroughly
posted to the route to be taken by
the Americans in their movements to-
ward Sevilla was evident, as shown by
the careful preparations they had made.
The main body of the Spaniards was

slopes of which had been erected two
blockhouses, fianked by Irregular in
trenchments of stone and fallen trees
At the bottom of these hills run two

These roads are but little more than

a mile separated Roosevelt'S men from
