General uinphant march over Cuban soil and slightest opposition. The American army is now within Santiago, and the Spanish forces are in full retreat toward the city, where they no doubt hope to gain some protection on combining forces with the marine's of Admiral Cervera's fleet, and with the aid of the Admiral's fleet anchored in the bay. Great enthusiasm prevails among full of fight and seem rather piqued pretext towards a stand. The'fall of Santiago, under existing circumstances, seems to be but a few hours off, although it is conceded by the American officers in command that the Spaniards, when finally driven into the city of Santiago, will make a fight to death Extra vigilance is being exercised to avoid any trap the Spaniards may have arranged in connection with Spanish Burned Baiquiri. Playa del Kate, Guantanarao Bay. June 24. The landing of the United States troops from the transports be gan at Daiquiri iron pier, 12 miles cast of the City of Santiago, at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. Simul taneously tho American fleet made a diversion towords Morro Castle and westward. However secretlythe plans were kept, the Spaniards seemingly had full warning of tho hour and place for the landing of tho troops. The trans ports and their convoyB assembled off shore during tho night, but before dawn the houses of tho village wero fired, proving that Captain General Blanco's standing orders, always to burn a place before deserting It, wero being faithfully executed. With wonderful fatuity they burned tho cottages, house and factory of the lion company, but left Its pier, vital to tho United States authorities direct ing the landing, standing and uninjur ed. During the conflagration ashore there were several loud explosions, either from dynumito or ammunition left behind hv the Spaniards. Day HOBSON REPORTED IN CITY OF SANTIAGO.

Hub.-oii and his com rades of tho M errimac arc all well. They are confined in the City of S.uitiago, lour miles from Morro Castle. With this positivo infor mation in his hands, naval officials believe that tho bombardment of Morro Castlo, at tho entrauco to tho harbor, will bo no longer delayed. This information sots at rest tho wild stories about Hobson being held at Morro to save tho bombardment of that fort by tho Americana. Now that the landing of tho troops is oil' his hands and the presence of all his ships at Santiago is no longer imperative, Admiral Sampson has decided to devoto attention to blockade runners, llo has received inforimv tion that a number of vessels havo loft this port of lato, and have succeeded in running supplies into Ilatabano and other south' western harbors. These supplies havo been forwarded to Havana by railroad, and to prevent tho continuance of the traffic sover.il hi lips will bo detached from the Santiago fleet and detailed to patrol the waters in tho vicinity of tho Islo of l'incs, It is learned that Cervera's torpedo-boat destroyers arc disabled, ono by tho shells of tho American ships and tho other is sadly in need of repairs.

Tho Cubans were well armed and well disciplined, and General Garcia Is confident that his forces will be avelled to 10,000 men as soon as Santiago falls. About the only need nmong the Cubans Is shoes and quinine. A few hours before tho landing was begun tho Vesuvius stole up under the eastern hills of Santiago harbor and landed three gun cotton shells In tho neighborhood of the eastern battory. Three loud reports, throe sharp flashes and clouds of earth and smoke marked their fall. It Is believed that ono shell did damago to the emplacements.
