Washington, D. c., June "a
The war is TO be carried into
Africa, metaphorically speaking,
if Spain is foolhardy enough to
send the Cadiz fleet through the
Suez Canal TO attack Dewey in the
Philippines.
1t is announced on uthority
that before the last Spanish vessel
has passed through the canal, an
American squadron will be steam
ing at full speed across the Allan
tic, straight for the coast Of Spain
TO bring the war home to the
Spanish people.
There is no doubt that Dewey
can take care of himself against
this Cadiz feet since his own
squadron will be reinforced by
ironclads long before Camara's
ships sight the Bay OF Manila, and
he will have the shore batteries
with him instead of against him
in the struggle.
1t has been concluded by the
administration that nothing save
the most severe measures will
suffice TO bring the Spanish people
TO a realizing sense of the hope
lessnes of the continuance Of the
present war, and even kindness, it
is held, will dictate such a blow
as that it is proposed to admins
ter if the Spanish persist in this
last project.
After the fall Of Santiago and
the capture or destruction of Ger
vera's squadron, Sampson will
have an abundance of xessels TO
spare for the task set for him.
Probably he will constitute the at
lacking fleet in two squadrons, the
first flying squadron to be COM

counted on for the voyage across

TWENTY MORE CAPTAINS
Provided for in Bill Passed by the
Senate Yesterday.

WASHINGTON. June 24.-At the open
ing of the Senate to-day, Mr.. Hale (of
Maine), reported the general deficiency
bill and announced that he would at an
early date call it up for consideration.
Mr. Hale reported a bill comforting au-
thority upon the President to appoint
five cadets during the next year to the
naval academy. In explanation of the
measure, Mr.. Hale said II was particular
ly designed 10 enable the President 10 ap-
point to the naval academy the son OF
Capt. Charles V. Gridley commander OF
the Olympia, the flagship OF Admiral
Dewey. during the Manila bay fight and
who died recently at Kobe, Japan The
President had authority to appoint no
other cadets at large, although he de-
sired 10 name young Gridley.
A bill to increase the efficiency OF the
subsistence department OF the army and
making provision for the appointment
of 20 assistant commissaries of subsist-
enee with the rank of captain, was re-
ported.

the best ports blockaded or bonn
barded. No official news came
from the war department during Of
flee hours from our army near San
tiago.
This was a cause for mild sur
prise at the department as Gen.
Shafter has cable at his command
and it was expected he would report
the measure of success he has at
tanned in the debarkation of his
army on Cuban soil and the begin
ming Of operations here of being
man Of deeds rather than words
and Of not being given to over
many official reports. Not hearing
from him the officials were obliged
TO rely for information entirely up
On press reports. They found these
highly satisfactory and Secretary
Alger expressed particular gratif1-
cation at the news that the troops
had reached a point within seven
miles of Moro Castle without en-
countering serious resistance.
The direction taken by the troops
after their landing at Baiqulri-
trending generally westward-is
taken in some quarters here to in
dictate a purpose to unite with
SIMPSONS fleet in an attack on
Moro Castle and to their forts at
the entrance of Santiago harbor be-
fore turning their attention to the
town itself. Once the fort is cap
tured, Sampson with small boats,
could remove the mines, and If, as
reported, the Merrimac does not
completely obstruct the channel.
some OF the battleships may be
sent in TO deal with Cervera's
squadron in its last resort. Some
thing of this kind is believed to be
necessary in order to relieve our
troops from the fire of the Spanish
feet when they attack Santiago di-
rectly.
One or two of the battleships
supplemented by few torpedo
boats, could be relied upon to keep
Cerveras' squadron so fully occu-
pied that he would have no time
to give to the troops attacking San
tiago from the rear.
For the first time to-day there
was a reliable announcement Of the
intention of Gen. Miles to go TO Gu
ba to participate in the operations
there before the campaign is ex-
tended to Porto Rico The time of
his departure is as yet unsettled
With great satisfaction the navy
department to-day published Samp-
sons statement that Hobson and
his men are we'll and are not In the
line of fire. 1t was also noted that
Sampson finds no difficulty in hav-
ing his flag of truce respected,
which is gratifying IN view of the
statement coming from Havana
some days ago that there was to be
lapse into barbarism through the
refusal of the Spaniards to recog-
nize flags Of truce

June "a, 10 a. Mate yesterday
afternoon the American flag was
flown from the top of Altares
mountains, back of Baiquiri, amid
wild enthusiasm. The men cheer

ships and the transports let loose
their sirens and the bands played
THE Star Spangled Banner"
The Cubans under Gen. Deme-
trius Castillo, who entered Bal
quiri after the Spaniards had de-
serted the town, were clothed in
rags and many Of them were two
thirds naked. Some had no trous-
ers and only tattered shirts, while
the majority of them were bare
footed. They were mostly negroes,
some being boys of only fifteen
years of age. The guns they car
ried were Of many models, ranging
from flint locks to Mausers and
armed with machetes. The officers
rode donkeys and scrub horses. The
sun was blazing hot and a number
Of the soldiers were Frustrated by
the intense heat and were taken
on board the hospital ship.
The troops are in fine spirits and
are overjoyed at the aggressive at
titude assumed by Gen. Shafter,
who believes he can force his way
into Santiago and strike the Span
iards heavy blow.
The celebrity Of the forward move
ment of the United States army has
embarrassed the quartermaster
department. General Lawton sent
back this afternoon an urgent re-
quest for more rations.
The mules and stores are already
ashore, but some Of the trappings
are still on board ship. They will
be taken off during the night. Col
onel Humphreys says he will have
a pack train loaded and on its way
by daylight tomorrow. 1t should
reach Juragua before night
An attempt to send supplies to
Juragua this afternoon in boats
failed.

tiago. The first news Of the enga-
cement received at the White House

WHAT THE "sTRATEEJANS' THINK.
Ho wthe Washington Soldiers Figure Out
the Campaign About Santiago.

WASHINGTON June 24.-On account Of
the official Spanish reports OF heavy fight
ing between Americans and Spaniards
near Santiago, army officers suspect that
the engagement described in the Spanish
dispatches was really between the Cubans
and the Spaniards far back in the rear.
If Gen. Pando is sending reinforcements
to Santiago, it is likely to hasten the
campaign Of the Americans. Pando has
1900 soldiers less than 100 miles from San
tiago. They are the pick of the Spanish
army, and their commander Is known as
a fighting general. Were they TO combine
with the Spanish force in Santiago. the
American campaign might be prolonged
and the task much heavier.
The reports indicate that the Spanish
admiral is using his squadron to defend
the town from attack by sodiers in the
rear. This emphasizes the aecessity for
speedy action on the part Of the invaders,
for with Pando's men to re&1force the
garrison and Cervera's squadron in full
play. the Spanish force would be much
stronger than the combined Americans
and Cubans
The naval authorities are satisfied that
no Spanish warship has escaped from
Santiago and the Spanish stories that
the Riena Christiana escaped were re-
ceived with amusement.
