HoBsoN rs ILL,
But He Receives Good Treatment
General Pando Wounded.


New York, July "a dispatch to the
Herald from Kingston, Jamaica, says:
Refugees arriving here from Santiago
report that Assistant Naval Construct
or Hobson and several of his men have
been i'll with climatic fever in Santiago
since Saturday. They are being We'll
cared for. both as to food and medical
treatment, being attended by Spanish
and English physicians They have eX-
cellent quarters in the leading hotel of
the city.
Another of the Spanish leaders. Cen
eral PandO, has fallen in battle, but
his troops. numbering 1000, have sue
ceeded in getting into the city of San
tiago.
This interesting news is obtained
from refugees who arrived here from
Santiago on the British m2n-of-war
Pallas and the Austrian warship, Ma
ria Teresa.
According to these refugees, General
Pando was seriously wounded in the
arm while commanding his troops in a
battle at Los PalmaS, at which point
General Garcia, with several thousand
Cubans. attempted to prevent his fur
ther advance towards Santiago.
After the battle General PandO'S
men proceeded toward the city, finally
entering without difficulty. General
Pando was carried along with the
troops and now is being cared for on
the dismantled Spanish cruiser Reina
Mercedes, which is lying in Santiago
harbor and 10 used as a hospital ship
1t is said the Cubans, under Garcia,
in their efforts to intercept PandO's
army, made a stubborn fight. They
were no match for the 1000 trained SOL
diers under the Spanish general, al
though they checked the enemy's prog
reSs for a time.

mure little woman in the back part of
the hail. rising. We're you ever in a
house where four boys between 10 and
/ 16 caught the martial spirit, mounted
guard eight times a day. and made it a
point to charge on the cook at least
twice? Did you ever note the enthu-
siasm with which four boys can enter
into the spirit of military operations

There can be no question:

OFFICIALS APPLY THE BRAKES
Administration Believes It Has Been
Rushing Things Too Rapidly.

Washington, July 6.-Deep concern is
felt here at the deprivations and suffer
! ings of our troops lying in trenches
and in field hospitals surrounding San
! tiagO, and there is everywhere a dis
position to insist that hereafter haste
shall be made slowly and that the
equipment of our soldiers, their COM
missary and quartermaster's supplies,
! their ammunition and their hospital
stores shall be complete in every re-
spect before they advance further. This
is likely TO be the rule, even at the eX-
pense of time, in the face of the criti-
cism of an element that has been We
hemently insisting upon rushing the
campaign without regard to cost in
blood and money.
Confidence is felt that there will be
no friction between the army and navy
commanders, and that the conference
between them will result in an agree
ment on a joint plan for the brosecu-
ton of the campaign. In the event that
this belief should not be we'll founded,
the president is prepared to act himself
by orders from first hand. There is
much of force in the argument that if
Sampson is obliged to enter Santiago
narbor before the forts are captured,
he will jeopardiZe the safety of the
whole of the ironclad fleet under his
command, since by the sinking of one
of these ships in the narrow channel,
through a Spanish mine or shell. the
fleet would be left helpless and exposed
TO destruction under the guns of the
forts to which they could make no re-
ply, owing to the elevation of the lat
ter. On the other hand, the army Off
GERS seem to be justified in avoiding
the tremendous sacrifice of life that
would be involved in again trying our
soldiers upon the Spanish defenses, un-
til they have been materially reinforced
in numbers and strengthened in ar
tillery.

English and Austrian warships at the
waterside at Santiago, and when the
foreign residents learned that Dassen-

The non-combatants in the city were

The losses have been so heavy and the

AMERICAN EXPEDITION.

Washington, July 6.-The fact that sew
eral of the vessels selected for Watson 5
fleet were in the thick OF the engagement
OF July 3, promised to delay somewhat
the departure of the eastern squadron
for the shores OF SPAN. The vessels have
consumed a good deal of coal and doubt
less have expended a large quantity of
their highest grade ammunition in the
furious attack on the steel warShtpS of
the SDaniards. II will be necessary to
reDlenish these stores before the long
ocean voyage is begun. However, Secre-
tary Long mas given rush orders for the
preparation of this squadron and 1t GER
fanny will be off in the course of few
days.
The movements of the CadiZ fleet are
very puzzling to our experts here. Weak
ened as it is by the sending back of the
squadron bound for the Philippines seem
destined to go to a sure destruction, as
did Cerveras unlucky ships when they
headed westward from the Cape Verde
Islands. The Spaniards are without
doubt fully aware of the inferiority of
their fleet, and why they persist in send
ing it to be sunk in the Philippines is
mystery. The department was advised
today that the squadron was passing
through the Suez canal and as the vessels
must have paid the heavy toll required
in advance. the indications are now re-
garded as conclusive that the ships are
actually bound for the Philippines. This
belief stimulates the preparations here
for Watson's sailing. He will strike
straight after Camara, who in the end is
doomed to be caught between Watson
and Dewey.
