How SchIey Views the Landing of the

Kingston, Jamaica, June q, $3.50 a. M
Naval Cadet John Halligan, jr., Of the flag
ship Brooklyn, returned on board that YES
sci last night with large silk Cuban flag
which had been presented to him for landing
the first boat of soldiers of the invading
army Commodore Schley and Captain
Cook are both vastly pleased at the fact
that the hagship'S boats and men accom-
plished the first landing. Cadet Hallgan
also reported that five of the st. Louis's
boats and one boat of the Brooklyn were
damaged. When it is considered that seven
teen thousand men and large number of
horses and mules, in addition to supplies Tor
the army have been landed, the record made
is remarkable, both for speed and absence
of disaster. The first launch of the Brook
lyn, in charge of Cadet IIa1ligan, with three
boats in tow, reached the shore at the
head of the fleet of the small craft and the
Cubans who were already in possession OF
the landing place. handed the flag to the
cadet and he gave them the launch's flag
in return.
Commodore Schley, commenting tonight
on the landing said: ut is breaking OF
records in modern history to land such
number of men, fully provided with all the
necessaries, in a hostile country. cannot
fathom the lack of Spanish opposition.
Commodore Schley thinks the Spanish naval
officers will. as a last resort, destroy their
ships by blowing them up.

Associated Press Dispatch.
WASHINGTON. June 27-The admins
tration to-day finally came to a decision to
send an American squadron to the Spanish
coast and into the Mediterranean. Several
times since the war broke out rumors to
this effect have circulated, but the project
had not matured; it required the Spanish
movement toward the Philippines by
Camaras squadron to decide the Navy De-
partment to adopt this bold stroke. The
letin posted at the. War Department of the
governments intention was received with
incredulity. There was a suspicion that the
story was being fioated to deceive the Span
ish government. However, when later in
the day, the detail of the vessels selected
to constitute Commodore Watson's eastern
squadron was announced and official orders
were given to provision the fleet for four
months it became apparent to the last
doubter that the government was in earnest
in this purpose to dispatch the fleet to Eu-
rope. The first bulletin was ported by the
Navy Department at HIS o'clock this
morning. 1t read

About 500 mules are still corralled here.
The military authorities are rapidly making
up a pack train TO take forward rations.
The men ashore have five days supply, but
supplies for ten days are needed as pre-
caution against sudden move.

at Baiquiri, guarding the material ashore.
All the other regiments are being pushed

are officially expected to begin on Wednes-
day next.
interruption of communication between
the army and the fleet by storm is possible
at any time. Juragua and Baiquiri are
both open roadsteads, with no protection.
General Shafter expressed satisfaction
with the work of the officers who had
charge of the landing of the troops, in an
enemys country, and under conditions
never before faced by an army, considering
the character of the landing place and the
adjacent country.

WASHINGTON. June 27.-The posting of
the order to-day directing Commodore Wat
son to organize fleet for the bombardment
of Spanish seaports was such a radical de-
parture from Navy Department practice
that it produced profound sensation. The
order was issued in good faith, but the time
of its execution depends entirely on the
course pursued by the Spanish government
in regard to Admiral Camaras fleet, now
seemingly about to sail through the Suez
canal for the Philippines. If the admiral
goes ahead with the advertised programme
and leaves the Spanish coast unprotected.
Commodore Watson will unquestionably col.
lect flying squadron of formidable and
swift war ships and devastate the peninsu-
lar cities. If on the contrary, Camara is
recalled. the Watson expedition may be
postponed. The point which the navy Off
cials make clear by the order is that this
government seeks to discourage the Spanish
expedition to the Philippines. Not that Sc
rious doubt exists as to Admiral Deweys
ability to defeat any fleet the Spanish can
send against them but the Washington gov
ernment prefers to keep Spanish war ships
out of the Pacific waters. The enemy's
ships of war in the Pacific would be a dis
turbing feature, which the President would
just as leave to be relieved of. Before
Camara could round Hindoostan, all the Pa
cific coast would be in arms and CRYING
aloud for protection Admiral Dewey's at
tention would be distracted and there would
be trouble all along the line. Still, if Spain
persists in sending a squadron into the Pa
cihc, the situation must be met The Pres
ident and his advisers believe the way to
meet it will be to assail Spain. Then there
is another and a tremendously important
factor which enters into the question. That
is the fact that the Manila expedition which
left San Francisco to-day is further from
its destination as time proposition than
the Spanish squadron lying Az Port Said.
That is the menace which moved the admin
istration to serve it's terrible warning for
Spain. If Spain heeds the threat and calls
Camara back the threat may be drawn in
somewhat.

abundant supplies of ammunition The SOL
diers are ragged and almost naked Most
OF them are thoroughly accustomed to the
bushwhacking method of the Spaniards and

the intention of protecting the American

be sent towards Guantanamo to give warm

A conference between Major General
Shafter and General Garcia will be held to-
morrow. The plan of cooperation of the
American and Cuban armies has been
agreed on, not only in the campaign in
Santiago. but the subsequent movement on
Havana and Matanzas. General Garcia s
plan is to march his entire army overland
and bring them upon the northern coast
of Cuba, keeping in touch as we'll as he
can with the United States army. AS soon
as possible he will effect a junction with
the insurgent forces under General Maximo
Gomez, who is now west of Havana. Other
bodies of insurgents, it is said, will also be
brought in, it being the plan of the Cuban
leaders to have at least 10000 men before
