BELIEVE THE CRISIS AT HAND.
Today Will Witness Fight or Surrender
-Shafter's Reinforcements.


Washington, July H.-Among the
best-iRformed administration officials
the opinion last night was that the crisis
of the Santiago campaign is at hand.
1t is deemed certain that today will
witness either a desperate fight or an
unconditional surrender on the part of
the Spanish forces, with the chances Of
both SO evenly divided that there is
scarcely a toss-up between them. The
war officials are hoping for a surrender
of the city. and they generally believe
that General Torsl, the Spanish COM
mandeJ will yield at the last moment
rather than subject his men to what in
evitably will be a losing fight.
He is evidently hesitating as to what
course he shall pursue and as Adjutant
General COrbin, commenting upon the
situation last night. said: "The soldier
who hesitates is doomed" Up to 1:30
O'Clock last night not word of infor-
nation that would throw any light up
on the situation at Santiago had been
