Mr.. Edward f. Chesley died at l:n
O'Clock this morning at his residence, No.

only about two weeks. but had for some
years suffered from dropscal affection.
which finally caused his death.
Mr.. Chesley was 81 years old on Thurs

OF Pickett Camp had been an active
member OF that organization, filling at
the time OF his death the ONCE OF COLOR

maneuvering Of troops and for a fight in
the open.
Mr.. Pfeiffer came here by way OF Santi-
ago. He says the city has practically no
defenses on the land side. There are no
walls. no fortifications no block houses,
no Entertainments. Anything in this line
must have been put up hastily since he
left few weeks ago. lie says that the
only thing at that time In the way of de-
Tense from the land was a double line of
barbed wire. about five or ter feet apart,
with tangle OF the barbed wire in the
intervening space. This was good enough
to guard against surprises from the in
surgents but IL is thought IL will amount
TO nothing against the devices Of the army
engineers.
Mr.. Pfeiffer thinks that tho country
from Holguin down to Santiago Is not
such as to make it difficult for Gen. Pando
to get through large army of reinforce
ments. He calculates that with forced
marches Gen. Pando might reach Santa
go within five or six days. Mr.. Pfeiffer
doubts also whether the Cubans could
stop this advance of Spanish reinforce
ments. as their main body is with Gen.
Shafter. and they could not hope TO DO
much against Pando and 10000 men.
