SANTIAGO, June 81, 1898.
THE landing of the army was completed
yesterday afternoon. all having been dis
embarked. with the addition of Gen. Gar
cia's forces. = Large quantities of
stores have also been disembarked and a
tase established. Gen. Shafter has been
most kind in his recognition of the aid af-
forded b. the feet, all OF our boats, with
several hundred officers and men, assisting
during this period IN the work. Gen. Shaf-
ment. states that the aid given him by the
ravy was enthusiastic, and also that he
thinks he could not have effected the land
ing without it's aid in ten days. if at all.
Such a Decentralization in the face of the
enemy, and upon a surf-bound coast of the
character oe this must be regarded a
very successful piece of work. and 1 desire
to make mention of the ability displayed by
Capt. Goodrich and the officers detailed to
ness with which the men did their work.
THE Yale arrived with 100 troops, and
these are now being debarked at Siboney.
THE vessels of this squadron are now
pGtroliing a coast line of nearly 1900 miles,
a line greater in extent than that patrolIed
by COO ships during the civil war, and one,
in many respects offering greater difficult

DELAYS wATsON's WORK.
Postponement of the BOmbardment of
Santiago Has This Eject.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 13. via
Kingston, Jamaica. July "A, $50 a.m.-The
bombardment of the city of Santiago by
Admiral Sampson's fleet, which it had
been intended to begin this morning, was
again postponed on account of message
from Gen. Shafter announcing another
truce. The Massachusetts and the Oregon
had come up from G asntanamo bay for
the purpose of participa ting. They will
now remain here until required. The post
ponement of the naval assault on Santiago
will delay the Sailing of Commodore Wat
sons squadron for the coast of Spain tenn
porarily. .
Admiral Sampson has formally notified
General Shafter that he must not sign any
acceptance Of surrender without first con-
sulting him. Admiral Sampson is anxious
that any surrender shall include a thor
ough removal of all mines in the harbor
and the evacuation of all ports which
have fired on his ships
The ships are now lying off Aguadores,
waiting to shoot over the hills into the
city. 1t is hoped by the naval officers that
General Shafter will soon either take the
city or be successful in his demands for
surrender.

THE SPANIARDs' OBsTINACY.
Strengthened by knowledge of Sick
ness Among American Troops.

Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Pressl
PLAYA DEL ESTE, Guantanamo Bay,
July 13-The uneventful truce has contin-
ued all today before Santiago and will
continue until noon tomorrow CThursday).
Gen. Toral has rejected condition after
condition offered by Gen. Shafter, in the
face of q threatened renewal of the bonn
bardment.
1t is thought that Spanish obstnacy is
strengthened by the knowledge of sickness
among the American troops. the real facts
as to which have probably been exagger-
ated inside the SrG nsh lines, as Gen. Tor
ais present att tude is certainly not that
of the Spaniards who ran to Hobson with
pleas for protection at the END of the first
days fight
The present order is for a renewal of
the bombardment at noon tomorrow, July
IA. The guns are being placed very slow
ly, owing to the wretched condition of
the roads. which have beeh washed into
veritable canons by the torrents of rain
that have fallen in the last few nights.
The American position is now considered
by Gen. Miles quite as strong and effec-
tive the lack of heavy artillery will
permit. The plan for tomorrow is to try
to flank the extreme west of the Spanish
line by landing the 9Th Massachusetts and
9th Illinois at Cabanas, two miles west of
Ell Moro. The attack on the strong bat
terry in position there is TO be made under
cover of heavy bombardment of the
Spanish center
If the line is broken at this point Gen.
Lawton, on our extreme right, will prob
ably crush the Spanish left and an entry
be thus effected.
The command of this expedition was
given by Gen. Miles to Gen. Guy Henry,
but the latter was unable to make con-
nections with the auxiliary cruiser Yale,
which carries the 9th Massachusetts, and
9th Illinois. Therefore Gen Garrison will
command. Gen. Henry is bitterly dIsap-
pointed.
Grave fears are expressed among army
mon here that should the bombardment
tomorrow fail of the intended effect the
anxiety to end the campaign in this vi
cinity may lead the American authorities
to accept Gen. Toral's proposition.
Every one feels that Santiago is the cnly
barrier now in the way of swift descent
upon- Porto Rico.

ITALY WILL USE FORCE,
A Squadron to He Sent to Colomb
to Demand Payment.

A Squadron to He Sent to Colombia
to Demand Payment.
The State Department has been notified
that the Italian government has determined
to adopt force in securing the payment by
the republic of Colombia of the arbitration
award made by President Cleveland in
favor of Ernesto Cerruti, an Italian citi-
zen. amounting to $3.50 900. To this end the
italian government has summarlly closed
diplomatic relations with the Colombian
minister at Rome and has notified Admiral
Gandiani to proceed with the Italian squad
ron to Cartagena, Colombia, and there
adopt forcible means to collect the amount
A dispatch from Caracas, Venezuela, an
nounces that the Italian squadron, under
Admiral Candiani, left La Guayra Monday
for Carta gena. in order to seize the custom
house there. The information reaching the
State Department is to the effect that the
Italian squadron will arrive at Cartagena
today, and that 1t consists of four war
Ships
In view Of the serious possibilities involv-
ed in the case, the United States govern
ment has sought to avert an immediate
crisis. On the request of the Colombian
authorities that the good offices of the
United States be exercised, word was sent
to our charge d'affaires at Rome to make
inquiry into the status of the case. There
appears to be no disposition on the part of
our government to interfere in such steps
as Italy may take for the execution of the
award, as we are precluded from contest
ing an award made by this government
At the same time 1t Is hoped that Italy
may be disposed to grant sufficient time to
the South American republic to permit her
to pay the award without suffering the
indignity of a seizure Of her chief CONNER
cial port. AS Italy's purpose is confined to
the collection of the award and has no ter
ritorial purposes in view, it is said that the
case, but that 1t is governed by the rules
which applied to the. British seizure of
Corinto, when the British squadron occu-
pied the custom house until a claim of
$4,000 was settled.
