Special to F.VEN'IN'fl IlrcilAt.D.
Washington, June 29, Tlic depart
ment has received but little informa
tion from the land and naval forces in
the vicinity of Santiago to-day.
General Shatter wires that the
roops arc now in a position to take
Santiago within forty-eight hours.
It Is believed, from the tone of the
message and the fact that Pondo is
lurrying to the relief of Santiago,
that General Shatter will at once
move on the city.
Important news, therefore, can be
expected from Shatter and Sampson
in the near future.
'ANDO ADVANCING TO
REINFORCE SANTIAGO
Special to Evening IIkiiai.)
Washington, Juno 2U. This morning (!cn.
Shatter notified the. army department that
eight thousand Spanish troops, under com
niand of General Pondo, aro advancing from
Manzanllla. They aro now within fifty-four
miles of Santiago,
As soon as it was known tho Americans
would land at Santiago, Goucral lllauco or
dored l'ondo to proceed with all hasto toward
that city, llo commands thu most important
body of Spanish troops in Eastern Cuba, out
side of Gen. Linares' forces, and tho only
hopo of tho Spaniards in resisting tho invasion
of tho Americans Is based upon tho arrival of
Pondo's forcos.
(inn. Garcia, commanding tho Insurgents,
has had his most trusted scouts out with in
structlons to report tho movements of Pondo's
forces. Thoy havo located him fifty-four
miles from Santiago, making rapid headway
hy forced marches for tho doomed city.
General Garcia's forces of Cubans will ho
reinforced hy sulllclent American troops to
prevent Pondo from joining Gen. Linares at
Santiago. Gen. Shaftcr, however, has not
much foar from tho reinforcement of Pondo.
Our army is now iu closo proximity to tho
city, and should Pondo join tho Spanish
troops now at Santiago, it will only mean tho
surrendor of that many moro troops of tho
enemy when tho city Is captured.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 29. A
newspaper boat has arrived here with
tho following dispatches from tho
front, on the Itlo Guama:
The American front has been ad
vanced beyond tho first crossing of tho
Rio Guama about a mile and a tug
llos three and a half ruilos from tho
Bpanlsh entrenchments. General Law
ton's brigado rests on the road to San

under General Chaffee tho Seven

command lying across tho road and
river. Tho First brigade tho Eighth,
Twonty-sccond and Second "Massa
chusettsunder General Evan Clarko,
lies on tho left flank, slightly in tho
rear, and tho Second brigado tho
First, Fourth and Twenty-fifth oc
cupies tho opposite position, on tho
right flank. Generul Wheolor, with his
cavalry, is in tho roar, between tho
Sevilla hills and the Itlo Guama. A
strong lino of outposts is maintained
ahead.
Goneral Chaffee's brigado, with 8,000
Cubans under General Aguirra and
sovoral hundred under Colonel Gon
zales, was skirmishing towards the
city Monday morning, whon tho dls
patch boat left.
Tho Cubans had slight skirmishes
with tho Spaniards stationed on tho
hills ou tho American right flank, and
our auxiliaries occupied tho block.
nouses in mat vicinity wlilcn wero
evacuated hoforo daybreak by tho
Spaniards. Tho latter rotreated to
wards Santiago do Cuba. No fatalities
aro reported.
General Lawton, General Chaffoo
nnd General Wheeler havo thoroughly
recomioitorod tho Spanish position,
nnd with the aid furnished by tho Cu
bans havo very good maps of tho roads
and defenses.
Much information has also been ob
tained from Spanish paclflcos, who
havo slipped out of tho city and given
themselves up In tho hopo of getting
food. Thoy report great starvation
and distress In Santiago. Thoy say
tho Spanish troops are on short ra
tions, and that nil the supplies nro
being hold for thoir uso. Tho sick
In tho hospitals, tho paclflcos say, aro
suffering for lack of food, and they say
77 Spaniards wero killed and 89 wound
od as the result of tho nngagomont on
Friday last with Colonel Wood's and
Young's commands.
Tho most startling information ob
tained from the paclflcos Is that slnco
tho ndvanco began almost 20,000 Span.
ish soldiers have arrived at Santiago.
This statement Is mado on tha nu
thorlty of Geuornl Lawton, and ho Is
also of tho opinion that Gonoral Pando
has been enabled to effect n junction
with Gonoral Ltunres at Santiago.
There aro two forts of considerable
Importance within tho Spanish linos,
Puuta Illanco, at tho southern end of
tho bay, and Santa Ursula, at tho
southeast cornor. Ou tho road to
Caney, on tho north, is another fort,
Thero aro about 450 men fn each of
these fortifications, and stretching
around them aro nino barbed wiro
fences, 60 yards apart, while just in-
Bldo these nre lines of rlflo pits.
Outsldo this, to tho eastward, about
two miles beyond tho American out
posts, is a lino of entrenchments ex
tending from tho northern extremity
of tho city to Mono Castlo. A little
west of south, at a dlstanco of about
seven miles from Goneral Lawton'e
headquarters, llos Morro Castlo. Tho
road to within a fow hundred yards
of tho batteries at tho rear of Morro,
was reconuolterod Sunday afternoon
by Goneral Chaffeo nnd sovoral mem
bers of his stuff.
Goneral Whooler, who made a re
connaisnnce for half a mllo beyond tho
slilrmisli lines Monday morning, Hurt
ing that lie w'ftB unable to secure the
desired view through tho luxuriant
tropical foliage, dismounted and climb
ed a tree. A major gonoral of the
United States army In tho forks of n
tree, surveying Spanish outposts
through his field glnssos, was n spoc
toclo that gave somo Idea of tho won
derful energy of the daubing ex-Con-fpilprnte
cavalry lender. This font of
agility In a man of 02 years of ago
putH to blush many a young officer
of his own staff.
No aggressive move by the Ameri
cans Is anticipated for several days.
Tho road to the base of supplies must
bo greatly Improved before tho on
ward movement enn bo safely made.
At present It taxes tho quartermaster's
department to tho utmost to get pro
visions and ammunition.
Many of our officers aro amazed, as
they have looked for rcslstanco to our
advance. Tho ground over which they
havo traveled could have easily been
defended, but tho Spanish have stead
ily retired", not ovon attempting to
harrass our flanks, as tho columns
moved on through a natural ambus
cading country. Apparently Genoral
LInnres prefers to pluco faith in the
defenses of tho city nnd Intends to
make a "last ditch fight" ot it. A
fow, though only a fow, hold to tho
theory that he does not propose fight
ing at nil.

Washington, Juno 20. It is not likely that
Commodore Watson's Lastcrn squadron will
dl for Spain under ten days. Watson is
expected to rcrort to Admiral Sampson at
Santiago to-day, when final arrangements
will bo mado. Ho may ho compelled to re
turn for necessary supplies. Thoro is, how
ever, a probability that tho licet may not

movements of Camara's fleet, supposed to bo
found for tho Philippines.
Should it proceed through tho Suez canal
nnd continuo on its way to tho Philippines
tho department will hasten tho despatch of
tho American lleet, hut should it return to
Spain, as now seems probable, tho officials
idtnit that thoro will bo no present necessity
of sending tho licet to Spain.
If Watson is ordeicd to Spain his instruc

harass Spanish commerce, but it is not
intended that ho shall risk his own ships In

of Gen. Shaffer's army now occupies a posi

tako possession of that fort within a short
time. Tho capturo of Morro will euablo
