SPANISH PORTS
TO BE ATTACKED
It Is Believed That This Moye Will Be Necessary in Order
to Bring Spanish People to the Realization of Their
Folly in Continuing the War With the United States,
A Flying Squadron Will Sail as Soon as the Cadiz Fleet
Passes Suez Canal,
t
Washington, June 24. The war Is to
be carried Into Africa, metaphorically
speaking, If Spain Is foolhardy enough
to send the Cadiz fleet through the
Suez canal to attack Dewey In the
Philippines, It Is announced on good
authotlty that before the last Spanish
vessel has passed through the canal
on American squadron will be steam
ing at full speed across the Atlantic
straight for the coast of Spain to bring
the war home to the Spanish people.
There Is no doubt Dewey can take care
of himself ngalnst this Cadiz fleet since
his own squadron will be reinforced
by ironclad") long before Camain's
ships sight the bay of Manila and will
have the shore batteries w Ith liltn In
stead of against him in the struggle.
But It has been concluded by the ad
ministration that nothing save the
most severe measures will sufllec to
bring the Spanish people to a realiz
ing sense of the hopelessness of the
continuance of the present war, and
even kindness, It is held, will dictate
such ,i blow as it is proposed to ad
minister if the Spanish peislst In this
last pioject. After the fall of Santi
ago and the captuie or destruction of
Cervera's squadron, Sampson will have
nn abundance of vessels to spare for
the task set for him. Probably he will
constitute the nttacking fleet In two
squadrons, the flist a lllng squadron,
to be composed of the safest essels
of the fleet, such as the Columbia,
Minneapolis, Harvard, Yale, St. Louis,
St Paul, New Orleans and such craft.
This will be followed under another
command, cither Sampson or Schley,
by the battleships, which Captain
C lurk's experience with the OregHii,
i an easily be counted on for the voy
age across the Atlantic. With the
Iowa, Oregon, Indiana, Massachusetts,
and Texas, all battleships supple
menting the New Yoik and Brook
lyn aimoied ciulsers, and the less
powerful hut speedy vessels of the fly
lng squadron, the Spanish shipping
would be destroyed nnd some of the
best ports bloikaded or bombarded

(Copyright, lfSS, by the Associated Pre.)
On board the Associated Press dls
patilr boat Dauntless, off Raiqulri,
Thursday afternoon, June 2J, via
Kingston, Jamaica, Friday, June 21
10 a m. Late yesterday afternoon the
American flag was flown fronr tho top
of the Altar cs mountains, back of
Raiqulri amid wild enthusiasm. Tho
men clreered nnd waved their hats,
the warshljis and troops let loose their
sliens and the bands played "The Star
Spangled Banner."
Major Lamotte, with two men of the
volunteer cavalry, climbed the heights
and raised the flag.
The Pan-American Iron works, which
were desttoed before the troops
landed yesterday, belonged to the
Steelton company, near lialtlmore,
Md. The Cubans, under General De
metrius Castillo, who entered Ilatqulil
after the Spaniards had deserted the
town, were clothed In rags, and many
of them were two-thirds naked. Some
had no trousers nnd only tattered
Btilrts, while the majority of them
were bare footed. They were mostly
negroes, some being boys of only 15
years of age. The guns they carried
were of many models, ranging from
flint-locks to Mausers and Remingtons.
All. howevtr, were armed with mac
hetes. Tho officers rode donkeys nnd
scrub horses The sun wns blazing
hot. and a number of the soldiers wcro
prostrated by the Intense heat nnd
were taken on board the hospital ship.
The troops nre In line spirits and
are over Joyed nt the nggresslve atti
tude assumed by Genernl Shafter, who
believes he can force his way Into
Santiago nnd strike tho Spanish a
heavy blow.
The celerity of the forward mov.
ment of the United States nrmy Iim
embarrassed the quartermasters' do
pajtment, General Law ton ient back
partment during offlce hours from the
army near Santiago. This was a cau-e
for mild surprise at the department as
General Slmftei has cables at his com
mand nnd It wns expected he would re
port the measure of success he had at
tained In the debarkation of his aimy
on Cuban soil and the beginning of
operations ngalnst Santiago. How
ever, the general has the reputation
of being a man of deeds rather than
words nnd of not being given to many
olllclal reports Not hearing from him,
the olllclals were obliged to rely for
Information entirely upon prce reports.
They found these highly satisfactory
nnd Secretary Alger expressed particu
lar gratification nt the news that troops
bad reached n point within seven mlleo
of Morro castle without encountering
sei loirs resistance. The direction taken
by the troops after their landing at
Uaiqulrl trending generally westwaid
Is taken In some quartets here to In
dicate a purpose to unite with Samp
son's fleet in an attack on Morro castle
and the other forts at the entrance of
Santiago harbor before turning their
attention to the towrr Itself. Owe the
forts are captured, Sampson with small
boats could remove the miner", and If,
as reported, the Merrlmac does not
completely obstruct the channel, some
of the battleships may be sent In to
deal with Cerv era's squadron In Its
lam resort. Something of this kind
Is believed to be necessary to relieve
our troops from the fire of the Spanish
fleet when they attack Santiago.
One or two battleships supplemented
by a few torpedo boats could be relied
upon to keep Cerv era's squadron so
fully occupied that he would have no
time to get to the troops at Santiago
from tho tear,

On board the Asoclatcd Press dis
patch boat Dauntlcfrt-, off Juragua,
province of Santiago do Cuba, June
21, via Port Antonio, Jamaica, Frldaj,
June 24 (7 a. 111 ) The ndvance of the
American army has reached the edge
of tho territory In which the har
bor of Sarrtlngo de. Cuba lies. Here,
seven miles from Morro castle, as tho
trow files, tho main body of troops have
united and the Spaniards are in full
retreat toward Santiago de Cuba. They
may attempt a uuipiliv, but a decisive
engagement Is not expected for several
days.
General Lawton's brigade, which
reted last night nt Domajajnho, four
miles west of Daiquiri, resumed its
1n.1t ill at daylight, the Tlrst Infantry,
the Second Mitbsachussetts volunteers
with lompanles of the Eighth cavalry,
half ef the Fourth cavalry and heveral
companies of the Twenty-fitth color eel
cavalry occupied Juragua, five miles
beyond, anil tho American flag wns
hoisted there.
Tho Spaniards retired before the ad
vance, which was covered by Cuban
skirmishers, burning the block houses
as they went.
Colonel Wagner, with a small recon
naissance party of about forty men,
brushed against the flank of a retreat
ing Spanish column two hundred
strong, at Flrmezan. A dozerr shots
were flred by the Spanlatds, as Colonel
V. ngner fell back. Reforo General
luvvtun (ould bring up the Twcnty
setord, the van regiment, tho Span
iards had deranrped westward.
NO TIME TO HFRN THE TOWN,
Juiagua was ubandoneel by Gerreral
Linares and 1,200 Spanish troofr- with
such hnsto that they bad no time to
bum the town, though air Ineffectual
effort vva made to destroy tho locomo
tives of the railroad und the tolling
stock. Gerreral Linares retreated to
Suvllln, six miles west of Juragua by
road, und nlrro miles from Suntlago de
Cuba.
- A deluchment of 170 Cubans, under
Colonel Aguliia. collided with the
Spanish i ear guurd. The Cubans lost
two men killed and had seven men
wounded. The Spanish low Is not
known. One Spaniard was mar noted.

At least fifty Americans were wound

the wounded vrlll die.
Twelve dead Spaniards were found In
tho bush after tho fight, but their loss
was doubtless far In excess of that.
General Young cummanded tho ex
pedition nnd was with tho regulars,
while Colonel AVood directed tho op
eration of tho tough liders several

Roth parties struck the Spaniards
about the samo time, and the tight
lasted an hour. Tho Spaniards opened

advantage 01 number and position, but
tho troops drove tl "m back from the
btart, stormed the b icj house around
which they made the final stand and
sent thenr scattering over the moun
tains. Tiro cavalrymen wore afterward re
inforced by tho Seventh, Twelfth and
Seventeenth Infantry, part of the Ninth
cavalry, the Second Marsssu-hussetts
and tho Seventy-first New York.
Tho Americuns now hold tho position
at tire threshold of Santiago de Cuba
with moro troops going forward con-
.palqulrl at 3 o'clock, proceeding by
forced marches.
When the couriers brought the news
that Jurngua had been occupitd, tho
troop ships which hail not disembarked
their troops steamed to Juragua with
tire view of landing them there. Rut
the heavy sea beating on the beach
made It Impossible to get the boats
through the surface.
Dispatches of General Linaies which
have been captured, Indicate that the
Spaniards were ordered to retreat to

The Cubans expect the first stand to
be made at Sav ilia and they have

Their rations rue almon exhausted.
They started with three days' supplies
and Outlier food eould not be landed

GUARDING AGAINST SURPRISE.
Strong outposts are maintained to
night in order to prevent a surprise
and Juragua Is also under the protec
tion of the guns of the warships Tints
the flank of the advancing Amerlean
column Is safe. The Spaniards, to at
tack out troops, must make a ioreed
