Four more batteries of heavy artillery
were sent 10 Santiago today. Unless the
enemy tries to force our position it Is
probable that the bornbardment will be
postponed till the arrival OF more siege
guns and more troops.
The American position at Santiago is
peculiar. The attack there was for the
purpose of destroying Cervera's feet. Yet
now to retreat from before Santiago would
have the moral effect of a defeat.
