The Good Roads Movement Introduced Into
 the Island.
Ways to be Constructed from Sdntiauo. the Intended Base of Operations, to Havana, Which is to be At-
 tackled From the Land Side.

Washington. June 22.-(Special.)- The opinion is general in well in- formed circles here that the whole plan of the Cuban campaign has been changed by Cervera's squadron dodg- ing into Santiago A land investment of Havana is now looked upon as post poned till September or October, and the subjugation of the island will be started from the other side, with San .tiago as its base. The obstacles urged
 in the shape of bad roads, or the utter absence of roads, and interrupted or |non-existent railroad communication do not weigh. Part of the equipment
 of the army of invasion consists of
 road making machines of the best
 modern construction, and appliances
 for laying car tracks.
 The chief road maker of the depart
 ment of agriculture, General Roy
 Stone, accompanies the Santiago ex-
 petition. If the United States is to establish and maintain stable gov ernment in Cuba it must have good roads and open communications. This is the reasoning heard here, and it is further contended that the work may as well begin at Santiago, the ancient capital of the island, the oldest city there, built so soon after Columbus discovery that it almost bears his IhaEdmarks, as at any other point The excellent typographical maps of the island in the possession of the war de- partment are consequently being stu died with view of establishing 8 long line of communication into the interior with Santiago as the base.
 The capture of the Spanish warships so as to deprive them of the power to make an aggressive movement was from the first regarded as the chief point to be gained. Dewey has done this in the east; Hobson has rendered lit an easy matter in the West Indies, and strategy is being used to draw out FCamara's squadron from home waters.
 When this last feat has been accomp-
 l:shed, with it's inevitable result of

GETTING WORD DIRECT.
Cable Communication With the South
 ern Cuban Coast.

Washington, June 22-The war de- partment at o'clock this afternoon received a dispatch from Pelaya del Este, twenty miles from Santiago and midway between Guantanamo and Santiago. It was from Captain Al len, in charge of the signal service work in Cuba, and merely announced that nothing had been received from Sampson or Shafter. It was important in establishing the fact that connec- tions have been secured close to San tiagO

 Many leading artillerists in the arm are greatly in favor of high explosives. and in their official communications tn the war department have advocated ftx
 more extensive use. The only thin8 that has worried them IS the absenoe of convenient as well as a fittinx
 means of firing it. The great dyna- mite guns at Fort Hancock and at tAo Presidio are to a certain extent .fo- garded in the light of experiments.
 John F. Holland, inventor of the slA- marine boat which bears his name, wna enthusiastic over the favorable reports
 received Of the practical test of the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius He saia- ''Ncw, perhaps, they may give the Es- suvius a chance. There always has been the strongest kind of prejud5ea against her ln the navy, just as there is against my boat now. She never was given any sort of real test, and was utterly condemned by naval ofk- cers for no reason at all It was oniy after the hardest kind of fight that the government could be induced te build her and then she was a step child and was blamed with everything About four or five years ago the board in Washington concluded she was use less and decided to tear out her lyna- mite guns and turn her into a little gunboat
 Fortunately, they had no money available with which to disInantle and refit her, and she lay around awaiting destruction until the war broke out and there was such a demand for ves- sells of all kinds that she had to be put irto commission. I hear that even af- ter her arrival at Santiago her com mander had to beg to be allowed to have shot at the Spaniards, and he was finally permitted to fire just three shots, one from each of her guns. The results seem to have been remarkably successful. I believe she will create a revolution in naval warfaTe-at least with regard to vessels of her size and kind.
 "The range is obtained by range finders, one on each end Of the ship, and the guns are aimed by pointing the vessel in the line of fire. The guns themselves cannot be moved. The ex- treme range is three or fonr miles, but the effective range is not more than one and one-half miles,"
 Engineer Dixon has no doubt thak the Vesuvius will give a goed accounx of herself if she is called upon to opea up the channel at Santiago.

 If this should prove to be true, and tue fact will soon be known, it would seem to indicate purpose on the part of the Spanish naval commander, Cam ara, to carry that celebrated Cadiz fleet around into Pacific waters, and use cOlliers to supply the fleet with coal. In this case the object of at tack probably would be the west coast of the United States instead of the Philippines, but after all the whole thing is still matter of mere con- lecture.
