OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 22 (via Kingston, Jamaica, June 23).- With the complete investment of Santi- ago de Cuba by land and by sea but a few days off the admiral has decided to strengthen the blockade of the large ports of the southern coast westward of Santiago. For three weeks the south coast, west of Santiago de Cuba, to Cape San Antonio has been practically unprotected. The blockade has been simply on paper in name only, with the result that it is known that quite a number of ships have run the blockade and that an immense quantity of pro- visions has been smuggled into Havana.
 Most of the blockade runners have landed their cargoes under the lee of the Isle of Pines, and thence the pro- visions, etc., have been taken in small boats to Batabano, whence the railroad runs to Havana, only thirty-five miles, The majority of the blockade runners have gone out of Jamaica, and two of them at least are known to have made several trips. Only last week the steamer Purisima Conception, flying the Spanish flag, took a cargo out of Kingston. ostensibly for Manzanillo, but probably for the Isle of Pines. The auxiliary cruiser Yosemite missed her by few hours. The Purisima Concep- cion carried, in addition to provisions, arms and ammunition. These cargoes were undoubtedly smuggled into the Spanish line and will aid Captain Gen. eral Blanco greatly in withstanding the siege.
 The admiral has now decided that the blockade running must cease, and yesterday he dispatched four fast ships to patrol the coast from Cape Cruz to the Isle of Pines

SHAF TER WILL SOON
 BE HAMMERING AT THE
 GATES OF SANTIAGO.

WASHINGTON, June 23.-Secretary Alger and General Miles were in con- ference in the Secretary's office at o'clock to-day when the first Madrid bulletin announcing that fighting had begun was shown to them. The Secre- tary read 1t aloud with evident satis- faction and both of them expressed themselves gratified with this favorable report, coming as it did from the enemy There was no surprise that the fighting had begun so soon. It was suggested by the reporter that the troops had completed their landing only this morn ing.
 ''Yes, but they have gone there to fight and are ready to begin 1t at once" |" replied General Miles. Secretary Alger said that no word had been received up to that hour indicating that fighting was in progress. He had no reason to doubt, however, that our troops had encountered the Spanish forces and had given a good account of themselves He commented on Admiral Cervera's S cable that the situation was critical y and that the Spaniards had been obliged to retire as in strange contrast with Madrid's claims of Spanish vic- tory"
 General Miles said that the American troops would now push forward ag- gressively, driving in the Spaniards and forcing them to fight. There was not a suggestion of apprehension or doubt either with Secretary Alger or General Miles, as to what the outcome would be. They had made their plans and they were confident that General Shafter and his troops would be ham, mering at the gates of Santiago before long.
 The impression here is that the Span- iardS will make their strongest stand close to Santiago and the inner harbor within the range of protection of the guns of the big Spanish warships lying there. There is no doubt that until these ships are removed from the field of operations the campaign against Santiago will be conducted against odds. The guns of the ships command the hills over which our soldiers must come to attack the town and reach the bay, but we will soon bring our own ar- illery into play.
 The naval officials here believe that
 
 land upon the town Sampson will force his way into the harbor and take part Tn the engagement. They are satisfied that the wreck of the Merrimac does not completely block the channel, and say that II Sampson does not come in the Spanish fleet is likely to make a desperate effort to get out The mines are to be considered in such a case. but it IS believed that once Morro Castle is taken by the combined at- tack of the soldiers and fleet these ob- structions can be easily removed with the experience gained in Guantanamo Bay.
 The only positive news coming to the War Department up to the close of of- flee hours was dispatch to General Miles from one of his staff officials with General Shafter and also a brief dis patch to General Greedy from Lieuten- ant-Colonel Allen. General Miles dis patch stated in substance that theland- ing of troops had been completed with out any casualties save one Cuban sol dier, who had his arm injured by the bursting of a shell. The troops of Gar aia and Rabi, about 5700 in number,

ON BOARD THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH-BOAT WANDA, BAIQUIRI HARBOR, Cuba, Wednes- day, June P. p. m. (via Kingston, Ja- maica), Thursday, June 23, 5:30 p. m. At o'clock this afternoon 5000 trained American soldiers are camped in and around Baiquiri, and 10000 more rest on their arms on board the transports ready to join those who have debarked as soon as the available launches and boats can carry them ashore.
 The Cuban insurgents bore their share in the enterprise honorably and well. Five thousand of them, in mountain fastnesses and dark thickets and ravines, lay all last night on their guns, watching every road and noun tain path leading from Santiago to Guantanamo. A thousand were within sight of Baiquiri, making the approach of the Spaniards under cover of darkness an impossibility.
 General Shafter, on board the Se- gueranca, closely watched the landing of the troops.
 Brigadier General Lawton, who had been detailed to command the landing of the troops, led the way in a launch accompanied by his staff, and directed the formation of the line of operation.
 General Lawton threw a strong de- tachment for the night about six miles west, on the road to Santiago, and an- other detachment was posted to the north of the town, among the hills. The rest of the troops were quartered in the town, some of them being housed in the buildings of the iron company. Other troops were quartered in deserted houses, while Cthers still preferred the shelter of their tents in the adjoining fields.
 The landing was accomplished with out loss of life, the only casualty being the wounding of an insurgent on the hills by a shell from one of our ships. He will lose his arm. The insurgent troops at Baiquiri are commanded by General Castillo and are estimated to number a thousand men.
 NEW YORK, June 23.-A special dated at Playa del Este, Cuba, to-day, said that at 1 o'clock this morning the last of General Shafter's army of in- vasion had landed at Baiquiri.

had met the American forces with en- thusiastic greetings. Stress was laid upon the point that the Cubans were we'll armed and well disciplined. Gar cia was confident that his forces would be swelled to 10000 men as soon as San tiago fell. About the only need among the Cubans was shoes and quinine.
 The dispatch to General Greedy merely stated that progress was being made in connecting the military forces directly with the War Department.
 During the day orders were issued to the entire division comprising the newly created command of Brigadier- General Guy V. Henry for it's speedy departure to re-enforce General Shaf- ter at Santiago. Already the Thirty third Michigan regiment and one bat talion of the Thirty fourth Michigan have started on this mission. To-day's orders cover the balance of General Henry's command. It includes the re- maining battalions of the Thirty fourth Michigan and the Ninth Massa- chusetts regiment. These will complete General Duf1lelds command. The Third Virginia, which belongs to this brigade, will not go, as it's equipment is incom- plete. The orders also cover the entire brigade of Brigadier- General Garret- son, which includes the Sixth Illinois, Sixth Massachusetts and Eighth and Ninth Ohio regiments.
 The plan Is to move all of General Henry'S division on the Harvard and Yale, the ships to make two round trips. The first trip will carry most, if not all, of General Duffield's brigade The War Wepartment allows three days for the trip, two days to unload troops and three days to return to Newport News. making eight days. By that time General Garretson's brigade will be at Newport News, ready to go on board the ships, and then comes the second trip, taking three days, with two days allowed for Garretson's troops to unload in Cuba.
 NEWPORT NEWS, Va. June 23.-. The auxiliary cruiser Yale, with the Thirty-third Michigan Regiment and one battalion of the Thirty fourth Michigan, sailed from Old Point this evening at 6 o'clock for Santiago. The troops, to the number of 1900, are in command of General Duffield Colo nel Boynton of the Thirty-third Regi- ment is second in command. The men arrived from Washington by steamer early this morning. A large crowd as- sembled to see the troops embark, and when the Yale weighed anchor and headed for the capes a mighty cheer went up from the soldiers and c.V;l- ians on the Government pier. The aux Hilary cruiser Harvard will leave Old Point for Santiago Monday or Tues day with another expedition.
