To be flurried 'Forward to
Reinforce Shafter.
CAMPAIGN OF SANTIAGO
Must be Fought Hurriedly For
Many Reasons.
Washington, June 24.-—Ex
perienced officer* appreciate the
fact that the task before Gea.
Shafter is no child’s play. The
best evidence of the seriousness
of tiie situation is established bx
the fact that 20,000 additional
troops are to be sent to Santiago.
Porto Rico is temporarily lost
sight of, and the whole force of
Shafter’s array is to be thrown
aga n t Santiago.
It is not generally known that
such a large addition is to be
made to Shafter’s command,
but it is fact nevertheless that
the transports which conveyed
the first expedition to Santiago
have been ordered back to Tam
pa to get 20.000 troops to re
inforce Shafter.
The anxiety of Gen. Miles to
go to the front now, and the coll
ision which surrounds his fu
ture movements is the subject
for much comment. It is said at
headquarters that he is going to
Santiago not to relieve Shafter,
but simply to do duty in the
field.
When he is to go, and how he
is to make the journey, is a
matter of conjecture, for no two
reports of his intentions are
alike. It is said that he is anx
ious to participate in the fall of
Santiago because he realizes
that the expedition to Porto
Rico which he had expected to

Washington, June 25.—Not
withstanding the official Spanish
reports of heavy fighting be
tween the American invading
forces and the Spanish forces
near Santiago, army officers
here are confident that no en
gagement of any moment has
occurred between the troops.
Part of the landing project
was a movement in force by the
Cubans across the country to
prevent the Spanish forces con
centrating upon the beach to
oppose the landing of the Amer
ican troops taken in connection
with Sampson’s plan of blinding
the Spaniards to the real land

miles east and west.
The scheme worked admira
bly ao far as the American
troops are concerned, as was
evidenced by their landing with
out the loss of a man. It is sus
pected, however, the Cubans
have had to pay for this exemp
tion on the part of the Ameri
•ans and that the engagements
described in the Spanish des
patch were really between the
Cubans and the Spaniards far
back in the rear, instead the
Americans and Spaniards.
Seeing that the Cubans, who
were almost without clothing,
had been supplied by Sampson
and Shafter, it is conceivable
that the Spaniards might easily
; mistake them for American sol
tiers at a little distance.
The news coming from Jama
ica that Gen. Pando is sending
heavy re-enforcements to the
Spanish General Linares in San
tiago, is likely to have the effect
of hastening to campaign against
that town by the Americans.
Pando has 10,000 soldiers' at
Holguin, less than 100 miles
from Santiago. They are the
pick of the Spanish army in
Cuba, and their commander is
known as the fighting general.
Were they to combine with
the Spanish force in Santiago,
the American campaign might
be very much prolonged and
he task set for our troops would
be much heavier.
Two factors ,have been relied
upon to prevent this combina
tion. The first is the very rougji
nature of the country between
Holguin and Santiago, which
would be exceedingly difficult
for troops to cover in less than
four or five days at the earliest.
The second is the notice efforts
of the Cubans to harrasa the
Spaniards od the march and re
tard their movements. With the
force they now have in that
country, the Cuban! could do
this very effectu illy, but they
could scarcely undertake to ab
solutely check the #hole Span
ish force of 10,000 men.
COAL FOR THE FOE
./ 1 i
Purchase of 12,000 Tons for
Camara** Vloet.
e
Washington, D. C., ‘June 25
News haa reachad her# that 12,000
tons of coal are being loaded on
.shipboard at Valparaiso, Chile.
As coal is worth about 118 a ton
I there the purchase excitea great
curiosity here, and it has been
suspected that it was being made
on Spanish aacount.
It thia should prove to be true,
and the fact will soon be known, it
would seem to indicate a purpose
on the part of the Spanish naval
commander, Camara, to carry
that celebrated Cadis fleet around
into the Pacific and use these
colliers to supply the fleet with
coni.
It this case the object of attack
probably would be the West coast
of the United States instead of the
Philippines, but after all the whole
thing is still a matter ot mere
conjecture.
