The Oregon, Indiana, Massa chusetts nd lowa held the out < r line of lhe formation and ad ministered the heaviest punish ment, the ligther armored ves sels moving a little farther otl shore. The lire was tremendous. Earth am d mortar leaped into air from the explosion of the giant shel's. Not only the forts and batter ies but the whole shore line was rent and torn. No body of troops. [ masked battery’ or ambuscade 'can have survived. . The landing at Baiquiri was I accomplished at noon, a small bod vof Spanish infantry and i cavalry offering but small re isistance. Desultory firing was i heard in the rear of the Span lards. It proved to be from a body of Cuban skirmishers. I' was reported that a larger body of Cubans was at the same time attacking Santiago. Damage . received by f.he Amej’i'ans is described as “in-. I - igiiilicant, while the Spanish Joss: must have been very heavy.” The advantage of the Merri mac blocking the channel was inestimable. It enabled Admiral Sampson to carry out his pro gram without danger of a sortie by the Spanish fleet. SAMPSON UNHAMPERED. Washington June 8, —The ex tmt of Sampson’s attack on th< Santiago defenses has brought out on* fact very cb’- rly, namely that he has practically unlimited poweras tc the tim > and character of an attack, and that he is tin haniputd by nst ncti< ns fnni Washington. The exact nature of his orders has never been made public, but a naval official in a position to know th'at th u y ,are said that Admira Samps n had greater power con ferred upon him han had ever been given to any commander-in -chie 1 ’ It was for.him to decide on th. time for an attack and the p'.act and manner o f its execution. H< may attack before troops arrive or, in his discretion, act without the co-operation of troops. In short, it it - said that Admiral Sampson is complete master of lhe tac'ical and strategic operations bv the naval forces otT Santiago llus is in line with the policy approved by the highest nayal authorities.

The destination is known to a few and may not be given until the fleet of transports with ' its convoy oi war vessels is well on • its way to Cuba. movement ne wi. ' New York, June 8. A special to the Times from Washingion says: Signs are multiplying which confirm, even in the minds of the most cautious observers the stories of hurry orders f<i»r the troops at Tampa which have been current for several days past. The necessary circumspec tion of the i esponsible members of the war administration pre vents the exact nature of these orders from becoming known. 1 That every effort is being made bv all brand.esof the department to get troops ready to move from Tampa at a very early’ day is beyond question. Rush orders for ammunition and supplies have been bestir, ring the activities of lhe ordin <s ,ance and subsistence depart ments in the past few’ days. Lust Thursday, for instance, impera tive dem inds were mad.* from army headquarters at T'.impa that. 1,000,000 rounds of am mu nition should be delivered at that poin 4 by Saturday night. So promptly’ was this ord. r at tended to that the ammunition was taken from the government arsenal at Governor’s Island Thursday afternoon and deliver ed at Tampa within the time prescribed, going faster th. n the mails. At the same time a train load of subsistence supplies went forward on the same hurry sche.l ules. These are incidents in the , proceedings of the last few days which indicate an aecer-sioii of i haste at the front since General Miles reached there. Anoth r indication of the ap proach of the long deferred for ward inovement is the cli'.rter ing by the war depar' memos new transports. HOBSONS DON'T WANT Al.' '.A ' Mobile.
