FIGHT AT SANTIAGO SOON
SPANIARDSTOM MAKE A STRONG
STAND THERE.
sHAFTER'S TROOPS ALLOWED TO LAND
WITHOUT SERIOUS OPPOSITION.
TBY CABLE TO THE TRIBUNE

Jaragua, Province OF Santiago de
Cuba, June %, via Port Antonio, ia
maica, June 23.-The landing of troops
without opposition this morning indi-
Gates that the Spanish military authori-
ties are concentrating all their strength
for defence at Santiago proper.
A hali-hours vigorous shelling from
Jaragua for five miles west along the
road toward Santiago cleared the way,
but it was little more than spectacle, be-
cause it was so one-sided.
The Spanish forces could not have
withstood the fire. They would have
been moved down.
When the landing was made at lara
qua the village was deserted Everything
was quickly taken possession OF by the
American troops from the shore to the
slopes Of the Alters Mountains.
Admiral Sampson came up in his flag
ship, the New York, after the hills had
been shelled, and conferred with General
Shafter about future movements. The
headquarters camp will be established
here until stores can be landed, as the
soldiers have only three days rations.
Then a prompt movement will be made
against Santiago.
The indications are that the siege guns
and heavy artillery can be transported
along the road without serious inconven-
ience. The engineer corps was among
the first to land, and is already at work.
Definite knowledge seems to be lack
ing as to whether Cervera has been able
to take many OF the guns from his ships
in the harbor and mount them on the
heights commanding the city. Recon
noitring during the next few days will
establish this and other points.
The insurgent cooperation has not so
far been much help to the Army.
The transports can leave here for
Tampa in two days.

Minister Woodford was fortunate in
escaping from Spain with his life. In
any civilized country his passports
would have been not only guarantee
of his personal safety but also pro-
lection against insults and attempted
outrages. But Spain is a nation Of the
past. The instincts of her people
are barbarian, and their blood is that
of ignorant and bloodthirsty savages.
The abuse heaped upon Minister Wood
ford yesterday and the attempts made
upon him and his party will assist in
condemning Spain before the world
and add another item to the long ac-
count that it must settle with the Uni
ted States.

Speaker Reed and the Hour.

'->tH L VI hsiIi anu i<Apit9-''
The strength of personal character and
the quality of executive ability which
make Thomas b. Reed so powerful lead
er of men have never received more strik-
ing illustration than during the events
which have crowded SO thickly one upon
another within the past week. History
has been making fast in Washington: and
when the record is made up and the flu
ture student scrutinizes the scrolls he
will find everywhere between the lines
the masterful. the skillful and the wist
dictation of the speaker of the House
His has been the rule. not of persona
domination. hut of perception of the right
His control and direction have derived
their force. not from individual power
but because they have been based upon
the true will of the majority and have
been parallel with the intelligent COM
mand of the people. His perception has
been unerrins. not merely because of SUI
perior farsightedness. though that bs
his. but because he has overswept with
his eagle glance the petty distractions OF
partisanship and faction and has never
permitted his eye TO swerve from the one
purpose in view. Amid the passion and
turmoil of the hour he has maintained
the tranquility of strength and the even
pulse OF CULVER in Lilliputia.
Worthy of all praise and in accordance
with the trust reposed in him has beer
the loyal allegiance of Speaker Reed &c
the administration. Himself champion
of every constitutional right of the legis.
lative branch Of the government. he val
iantly resisted the attempted invasion OF
the prerogative of the executive i'll the
proposed writing upon the statute
books" the recognition of particular
government that has not yet established
its existence. A friend of liberty, he has
been chief agent in preventing the fet-
toring of that liberty by bond not We,
accepted of its own accord. The country
does not yet realize the service that Mr.
Reed has performed. But. as events ac-
quire their true perspective. his figure will
loom distinct. Stalwart, patriotic.
