SAMPSON TO OCCUPY THE CITY.
If by to-morrow night Admiral Samp-
son has the sword of Admiral Cervera,
the surrender of his ships and of the city
of Santiago, he will probably garrison the
city for the time being with the marines
from his fleet until the troops arrive to
occupy it, for it will not be turned over
to the tender mercies of the insurgents,
and will be held by the United States
forces until the new Government of Cuba
is established.

ANOTHER BOMBARDMENT.
Cape Haitien, Haiti, June 1 The

front of the Santiago forts immediately
after the bombardment yesterday, has
reappeared before the port for another
bombardment.

this morning. They included the Brook.
