CHICAGO. June ga special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
The war managers are addressing them
selves to the problems which now confront
Major-General Shafter. They admit he has
no easy task in effecting the capture Of Ger
vera and Santiago.
One of the officers of Major-General
Miles staff explains that the object of the
is not so much the conquest of the
city as the capture or destruction of Ad-
miral Cervera's fleet. He doubts the ability
Of the army to fight the Spanish vessels ef-
fectively, 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 Spanish fleet
1t is argued Cervera's guns will be able to
drive them away. It may be necessary. ac-
cording to this officer to clear the way for
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet to enter the bay
and attack the enemy's armada. He thinks
the first effort Of the army will be to seize
Ell Morro and perhaps al Eocapa. after the
American war ships have bombarded the
Spanish batteries into q proper condition Of
humility.
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 manage that fleet in
the face Of the concentrated fire of the Span
ish ships inside, but thinks American valor
and ingenuity may be relied upon to solve
the problem.
The investmenttof Santiago may follow
this movement so quickly as to makeTlt ap-
pear to be simultaneous, but this staff officer
argues that the first blow will really be
!struck at the forts OH the shore.
This difficulty is said to be one Of the chief
reasons for sending, sot large a. force Of re-
Inducements to General shaftert for the
Washington authorities wish to take no
chance Of failure.

MADRID, June 26, p. m.-The arrival of

an evidence of the self-reliant character
of the man. Nevertheless. the secretary Is

He believes Gen. Dufield's troops to the
number of 1900 which embarked four days
ago from Newport News will arrive at
Baiquiri tomorrow and within four days
5000 more troops which leave Fort Monroe
today will be at the scene of action. In
addition there will be further movement
of troops to Santiago just as soon as the
men and transports are ready. Possibly
Gen. Miles may go with them. If the
troops are not needed when they arrive
nothing will be lost, for they can be very

took occasion to state again that Gen.

is not possible to foretell Gen. Skaters
plan Of operations against Santiago. the
matter being entirely in his hands.
Telegraph Service
Gen. Greeley received dispatch last
night from Lieut. Col. Allen, in charge of
the signal corps with Skaters army. He
said he was about to extend his line Of tel
egraphic communication westward from
Playa del Este to Aguadores, which Is
only half dozen miles east of Morro cas-
tie and very much nearer the advance of
the American army. This will be done by
a shore cable which already exists be-
tween the two points. A field telegraph

Tampa, so that in the course of few days

Assistant Secretary Allen has been striv-

Just secured several golfers at Key West
which, on account of their light draft will

BENNINGTON ARRIVES
The Warship Goes to the Navy Yard
for Repairs

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.-The United
States steamship Bennington has arrived
here from Honolulu, having left that point
June IS. The Bennington will at once pro-
ceed to Mare Island, where she will be
thoroughly overhauled on the dry dock.
Her future movements are doubtful, but her
officers hope to be ordered to Manila. The
war vessel brought the largest consignment
of mail ever received here at once from
Hawaii. 1t consisted of private letters from
volunteers bound to Manila, principally, but
as both the Peru and Coptic, which left
Honolulu after the departure of the Ben
nington, have both arrived here, she brought
no new news of the islands.
The officers of the Bennington speak in
the highest terms of the conduct of the
American soldiers in Honolulu. They were
not allowed to spend cent, and they got
all they wanted to eat and drink. There
was not single instance where the hospi-
tality of the islanders was abused.
