The strategy beard is carefully prepar-
ing its plans for an assault upon Ha-
vana in connection with the regular
army movement by land, the work be-
ing rather OF a preparatory nature and
not committing the department in any
way to a final adoption of this plan. II
has been represented that the fleet with
safety might assemble at the extreme
east Of the Spanish fortifications at the
entrance OF the harbor. In that position
it would be exposed TO attack by only
one battery at the end of the line. The
entire fleet could enfilade this battery
and destroy il in short order. The at
tack would be followed down the line OF
shore. taking enc battery at a time,
and thus reducing to minimum the
exposure Of the ships while bringing
a terrible concentration Of fire upon the
batteries in turn. One naval officer who
was consulted upon the subject guar
anteed that the fleet could knock out
all of the Notifications one after an
other within two hours. 1T would look
like knocking down a row Of bricks, $

Bulletin Says He Silenced the Works
Troops Probably Landed.
Washington. June S.-Shortly after Z
O'Clock last evening information con-
frmatory of the dispatches concerning
the bombardment of the Qualifications OF
Santiago reached the navy department
1t came in the form of a cablegram from
Admiral Sampson. which was made
public in the following bulletin:
'Bombarded forts at Santiago. 7:3C
to 10 a. m. today, June 6. Silenced works
quickly without injury Of any kind
though within 1000 yards.
SAMPSON"
While the officials Of the navy DEPART
ment declined to say whether the bull
letin contained all the information given
in Admiral SIMPSONS cablegram there
Is reason to believe that it did not. The
officials refused to discuss the subject
or to vouchsafe further information
than was posted on the bulletin board
Only one additional point was ELECTED
by questioning. That was that the ca
blegram contained no information about
the landing of either land forces or ma
rines.
1t is pretty we'll understood that the
bombardment was for the purpose o!
paving the way either for the landing
of troops or actually to cover the land
ing of marines. Dispatches received by
the Associated Press from Spanish
sources last night indicate that a land
ing was effected. either during or i'm
mediately after the bombardment. This
is regarded by naval authorities as en-.
tirely reasonable. 1t is deemed likely
tht Sampson landed a sufficient force
of marines to hold the eYound he hat
gained and to make preparations foI
the landing Of the regular forces upon
their arrival, if, indeed. some of then
are not already at hand.

Iowa's Splendid First shot.
The Spanish batteries remained silent.
II il doubtful whether the Splniards
were able to determine the character If
the movement, owing to the dense fog
and heavy rain which We're the weather

l2-inCh shell which struck the base Of

Instantly firing began from Rear Ad-
miral SIMPSONS and Commodore
Sch'ey's columns. and a torrent OF
shells from the ships fell upon the
Spanish works. The Spaniards replied
promptly, but their artillery work was
OF very poor quality and most of their
shots went wide. Smoke settled around
the ships in dense clouds. rendering ac-
Curate aim difficult. There was no
| manoeuvering of the fleet, the ships
remaining at their original stations and
firing steadily.

became a long, reverberating crash of

broke out in Catalina fort and silenced
the Spanish guns. The firing of the fleet
continued until 10 o'clock, when the
Spanish fire ceased entirely and Ad-
niiral Sampson hoisted the Cease fir
ing" signal. After the fleet retired the
Spaniards returned to some other guns
and sent twelve shells after the fleet.
But no one was injured. Throughout,
the entire engagement no American
ship was hit and no American was in
