III. Atl- niinil Sampson, in coniminul of tho squadron at Santiago ilu Cuba, wired tho Navy dupiirtiuunl this morning that Gun. Sliaftur's expedition arrived at Santiago yesterday. Tin) troops will he lan'tled us soon as possible. It will probably take several days to get 15,000 men off the transports, together with a thousand animals and a large amount of supplies. gknrral, siiaftneh. Naval olfleials believe it will re quire three days at the least to land the forces, and when landed the men, having been confined to the trans ports, will require a chance to freshen up -before they are in shape for action. Under these circumstances the of ficials do not e.vpect to hear of action at Santiago until the latter part of this week, fl mi. Shatter and Ad miral Sampson were in consultation shortly after tho arrival of the for mer with tho transport ships, when tho plans for tho invasion were fully discussed. The men of tho blockad ing squadron greeted the arrival of the troops with cheer after cheer, which met with a hearty response from tho men under Gen. Shaftor. DIRECT CABLE WOW TO WASHINGTON.

There will be no further delay in inform ing tho uuthoiltics of tho movements of tho ships and troops, and the American people will be furnished with nowa from an author Hive and reliable sourco. SPAIN'S REASON FOR NOT RELEASING HOBSON. Special to KVBSIM) IlKRALIl Loudon, Juuo 21. A Madrid despatch says tho reason why the government lias refused to exchange Hobson and his colleagues of tho Merrhnac was that tho result of their re turn to the United States would causo n popu lar demonstration, and tho fact that they had seen tho fortiUcutions at Santiago was addi tional icason for not letthiK them go. SPAIN'S FLEET RETURNS TO CADIZ. Special to livening Uernld, Washington, Jiinu 21. Advices ot a trust worthy naluro have just been received by the olllciuls hero confirming the report that tho Spanish licet, which was sighted oil' Gibraltar last week, has returned to Cadiz. Spanish Cabinet tu Koslgii, Special to ICVENINa IlEItAI.II. Washington, Juno 21- Advices received from Madrid say that it is rumored the Spm l&h Cabinet will resign this week. Tho re ports from Manila and Cuba are of u depress ing uatmo. And to this is the evident pur pose of the Curllsts to attack tho throne, should tho Spanish government coucludo peace on conditions which they think dis honorable. There Is u growing sentiment in favor ot it peaceful settlement of hostilities, ft 'i vVa "' --y r . nnmnnnw sa ii-wins s LiOlMUrll ; RESIGN THIS WEEK. Kingston, Jamaica, Juno 21. A dis patch boat just arrived from tho licet ofi Santiago brings the tnlelligenr-p that General Shatter's army of 15,700 men. on 10 transports, has arrived. There will be no wild rush to get ashore intl' General Shutter has a conference with Admiral Sampson and the situation in thoroughly discussed. Sampson knows tho possibilities bettor than any one else, nnd the landing will bo done ac cording to his inform.it Ion. The Cubans arc extremely active and n cordon has been drown around San tiago de Cuba. General Garcia, with 4,000 troops, coming by forced marched from Hanes, is now nearing Santiago. His troops are within 10 miles of tho city. Ho loft .1,000 men at Holgtiin to prevent the Spaniards thoro effecting a juncture with General Toral at San tiago. Tho Spanish troops at Guati tanamo, under General Masso, arc also cut off from General Toral, and are badly pinched for food. They wlldly appealed for provisions and reinforce ments, but tho only reply thoy got was that both weio impossible. Gen oral Masso said his men were oven then at half rations, and that tho supply was only sufficient to last dur ing the present month. General Garcia and his personnl staff wore picked up at General llabi's camp, 18 miles west of Santiago, and brought to tho ilagshlp Sunday after noon by tho gunboat Vixen. There tho grizzled and wounded patriot had a long consultation with Admiral Samp son regarding tho operations for tho Investment of Santiago and tho co operation of the American and Cuban troops. General Garcia Is very en thusiastic. Ho says tho Spaniards aru starving and cannot hold out long, and that tho war in tho island will end in a fow months. Your correspondent has boon af forded an opportunity of Interviewing General Calixto Garcia. The white haired general was lying in tho cabin of Captain Chadvlck, the commander of tho New York. Ho was seasick. This is tho message General Garcia sent to tho American people: "I am greatly obliged for tho efforts of tho American people In securing the independence of Cuba, and I shall do all I can to defeat tho Spaniards quickly." Speaking of tho march from Bares, where ho wont to recolve the muni tions of tho "Florida expedition," ho paid; "Wo had a hard, hard march ovor tho rough roads. Rngagomonts with tho Spaniards? No, because thoro were no Spaniards. My 1,000 men are in good condition, except for tho slight fatigue of the long march. Wo found enough food, though tho Spaniards are starving, 'iho patriots aro not suffer ing from tho blockade. Thoy can al ways got food. It Is tho Spaniards who pay the price. I think tho war will bo ovor In a fow months. You can boat tho Spaniards easily, hut it Is very hard to drive them out." Then General Garcia asked Admiral Sampson, who sat hosido him, what had happened to tho other Spanish ships, tho 1'elayo and tho rest, nnd opened his eyes wldo, with a muttered exclamation of surprise, when ho heard that Admiral Camara was still al homo. At Holgtiin General Garcia said thero are 10,000 Spanish troops, but ho be lieves tho 3,000 men ho loft thoro will effectually prevent tho enemy from reaching Santiago from tho Holguln fide. Most of General Garcia's staff suf fered from sea Bickness, General Gar cia humorously saying: "As bad uh are tho roads in Cuba, your roads Captain Chadwlck, aro worso." General Garcia and his staff were put nshoro later In tho day, after tho pre liminary details of co-operation be tween tho Cuban and American troops had been fully discussed. Two regiments of troops will be landed at Guantannmo bay, which will bo hold at tho base of tho hill until Santiago falls. Thoro has boon no sign of Spanish troops in tho neigh borhood of Camp McCalla for several days. It is estimated that ovor 800 have been killed or wounded since tho landing. Fifty-eight bodies wore found. Tho Spaniards soom satlsfiod that thoy cannot dislodge tho Ameri cans and havo withdrawn. Tho upper bay Is to bo occupied Im mediately, Lloutenant Dolohanty, with nn oxpedltlon, Is nightly nt work re moving mines from tho rlvor connect ing tho upper and lower hays. When this is clear tho ships will move up tho channel and tnko tho town ol Caimanern, whoso forts wero demol ished last Friday. The auxiliary cruiser St. Loula cut tho Kingston cahlo Saturday night within n mllo of 121 Morro. Saturday night tho dynaralto cruiser Vesuvius discharged three more sholls.
