LIKELY THERE
Believed at the Departments That
Shafter's Army Is Now Off
Santiago.
Landing of Troops Will Probably
Consume at Least Two
Days.
Officials Do Not Like the Refusal
to Exchange Hobson and His
Companions,
Although There Is No Obligation
on Spain'S Part to
Do So.

WASHINGTON, June 2l-No doubt is
entertained at either the war or navy
departments that General Shafter' S
military expedition has arrived safely
off Santiago by this time. AS matter
Of fact it is believed that the first of
the transports arrived near the block.
aiding fleet Saturday night. According
to the plans arranged for the debarka.
ton, the fleet Of transports was to lie
in safe place until Sampson had
cleared the way for landing. The
selection Of the landing place has been
left entirely to the judgment Of Ad.
miral Sampson and General Shafter,
the military commander, and the frs,
business in order upon the arrival Of the
transport fleet Oft Santiago would be a
war council between Admiral Sampson
and some Of his naval captains on the
one hand and Major General Shafte,
and his staff on the other, the pur
pose being to settle all tho details Of
the debarkation. Meanwhile the flee,
of transports would lie out at sea a,
least ten miles beyond the blockading
squadron, in order to be entirely safe
from attack by Spanish torpedo boats.
These craft are dangerous enough to
full hedged warships, but o transpor,
would be absolutely helpless asains,
their attack, SO that the strictest posi-
BILE watch must be kept by the con-
voys until the troops are landed, the
present being the most critical momen,
in the whole operation.
The army officials feel confident thai
General Shaf,er will make an effort t
open up cable communication as sool
as he has landed force and they are
expecting cablegram almost any mo-
ment announcing the fact that he has
succeeded.
DO Not Like the Spanish Refusal.
The refusal Of Spanish officials K
exchange Hobson causes a disagreeablt
feeling here. While there is no posi-
tive obligation upon a belligerent t,
exchange prisoners, yet it is universe
practice in civilized warfare. AS K
Hobson, the authorities here are con
vinced that the Spanish officials art
| taking advantage of the distinction
accorded to him in the United
| States. Under the rules of wa,
q prison,.- is valued solely by his rank
and it is considered dishon orable either
to underestimate prisoners rank il
order to cause more advantageous ex
change or to take higher rank for th'
purpose of better treatment In thu
case of Hobson, it is obvious to th'
authorities here that the Spaniard
hold him not as lieutenant, but as ;
popular idol of the United States II
this view his detention ceases to b.
that of a prisoner Of war and become
that of a hostage The holding 0
hostages, usually for ransom or othe
benefit, is a medieval custom seldom, !
| ever. rcsorted TO in modern warfare.
