reason it was with relief that the an- nouncement was received here that Shafter had succeeded in landing all or his artillery, including his siege train, for unless Sampson can be relied upon to force his way into the harbor and at- tack the Spanish ships the siege guns planted in heights commanding the bay will be the main reliance of General Shafter in offsetting the presence of the Spanish ironclads.
 Undoubtedly Shafter is animated to attack as soon as possible by his knowledge of the approach of the re- achievements for Linares from Man zanillo, for, with this additional force, Shafter's position would be disagree able, if not perilous, at least until he had received re-enforcements. The War Department received the first definite news to-day as to the approach of these Spanish endorsements. This was in an official dispatch, stating that 5000 men, with pack train and droves of animals, were advancing from Man. zanillo and were fifty-four miles from Santiago. It has been known through reports from Lieutenant Joyce, made to General Miles, that the Spaniards have 12,0O0 men at Manzanillo and 10000 at Holguin, and every precaution has been taken to guard against their advance from either quarter.
 The official report to-day showed that 5000 of those at Manzanillo had covered half the distance to Santiago, and it is the belief of military officials here that General Pando is making similar advance with his 10000 men

NEW YORK, June 29.-The Herald's s Washington correspondent telegraphs: Embarrassed by lack of funds and in need of coal. Admiral Camara's squad ron still is lying at Port Said, unde- cided as to it's future destination. Solely governed as it is by the movements of the Spanish fleet, the naval war board has not definitely determined the date when Commodore Watsons Eastern squadron shall sail for Spain.
 This is the situation tonight with re- spect to the offensive squadrons of Spain and the United States. So many contingencies grow out Of the next move by Spain that the authorities are anxiously awaiting news of it's making. It is appreciated it must be made soon, for Admiral Camara is paying berthing and anchorage dues at Port Said for the fifteen vessels under his command These will become due within ten days from the date of his arrival, and they have to be paid in money acceptable to the canal commissioners.
 I obtained to-day confirmation of the estimate made by the Herald this morning that before the arrival of Camara's fleet the American represen- tative at Port Said purchased all the coal available and will hold it at that point for any American men-of-war operating in the vicinity.
 Camara, according to advices re- ceived at the State Department to-day, is trying to arrange for coal and French merchants are understood to have been approached with view to the dispatching of colliers to the Span iards' rescue.
 Camara will return to Spain, but they do not expect he will leave his present

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The opin- ion prevails here that within a day or two at most General Shafter will have begun his attack upon the city of San tiago proper. The important event of the day was the generals announce rnent that he could take the city in forty-eight hours, but at considerable loss. Taken in connection with the announcement contained in another dispatch that he Is going to attack without awaiting endorsements it will be seen that the officials have ground for their expectation that the first general engagement of the war will begin in a very short time.
 Numerically the opposing armies are not very different, the estimate of the Spanish force being placed at 14,000 men, thoroughly Jentrenched and behind barbed wire fences and blockhouses, as against about 1S,000 men under Shaf- ter's command, aided by 4000 Cubans. One of the gravest elements in the problem, however, is the Spanish war ships, for unless Shafter Is materially assisted by Sampson, who might engage the full attention of the Spanish ships, their fire on the American advance would be very hard to meet.
 The military authorities here say that General Linares has shown great mili- tary tact in slowly retiring during the last few days, as he has gradually drawn our troops from the protection of the American ships and brought them close to the fire of the Spanish ships in Santiago harbor. For this

tpecial cable to The Call and the New York
 Herald. Copyrighted. 1898, by James Cor
 GENERAL SKATERS HEAD QUARTERS, Juragua, June 2S (by Call-H Herald dispatch boat Mindora, Port Antonio Jamaica, June 29).-No general movement on Santiago need be expected this week. It is possible Gen eral Shafter will attack the beleaguered city on Monday, but he will not do so unless heavy artillery to insure the suc- cess of the movement has been placed in position by that time.
 This work of transporting field and siege guns Is going forward all the time. New difficulties are encountered every day, but General Shafter is de- termined all shall be made ready for the attack at the earliest possible mo- ment.
 General Shafter continues to give much attention to the landing and for warding of supplies as we'll as ammu- milton. Since the troops came ashore the food problem has been a serious one. It was made doubly so by the ar rival of General Garcia's men. These 4000 Cubans, who had struggled for weeks with almost no food at all, made a noticeable impression on the food supplies provided for the invading army.
 It was unnecessary for General Gar cia to lay emphasis on the need of food for his men. Their condition was such as to appeal at once to the American commander. He gave orders to, fur nish an immediate supply of food to the Cuban patriots. They were fam ished and began eating well, but not wisely. Many of the Cubans had been without substantial food for. so long that they fairly gorged themselves un- til, as I mentioned in a previous dis patch, matters began to look serious for the American troops. They feared they would not have enough food left for their own sustenance after the Gu bans had been fed.
 Now comes the touching sequel to the incident of the feeding of the Gu bans. So desperate was their condition that four of Garcia's men, including an aid on General Castillos staff, have died from the effects of over-eating. General Castillo's aid asked for food and was given some slde- e-of-bacon which he devoured raw, being too hun gry to wait until the bacon could be cooked. He was found dead the next morning, sitting under a tree. Content ment was written on his countenance and the remai.s of his feast were clasped tightly to his heart. Three

 Meanwhile the agents ot this Gov ernment are vigorously protesting against his stay at Port Said on the ground that it is in violation of the provisions of the convention of 1888, de- creeing the neutrality of the canal and its entrances.
 The Eastern squadron now forming for service against Spain will not start for Spain until after Santiago has fall en and until colliers which are now on their way to Hampton Roads have re- ceived their batteries and have taken on as much coal as they can carry.
