At eleven o'clock hard fighting was
In progress all along the line.
Special to Evening IIkiiald.
Washington, July 1, 11:30 p. 111. Mnjor
(loncral Shafter lias just telegraphed tlio de
partment that ho fsHow"motfifc'in&m).i!EO,
nml that action is goltnr 011, but that tho tir
ing is light and desultory.
It was begun on the right, near F.l Caney,
nortlieasl of Santiago, whero (len. Kent Is In
command. Genl. If. W. Lawtou's division
will move 011 tlio northwest part of Santiago.
Gen. Shaffer's forces will abvanco against
tlio city in four directions, thus cutting off
tho cacapD'ofGon.'Linares, now In command
of Santiago. He will be hemmed In on all
aides, completely at tho mercy of tho Ameri
cans. While (len. Shafter, 111 his brief despatch
to the department, says tho firing is light,
thero is certain to bo fighting of tho most
desperate character before tho city is cap
tured, and probably by considerable loss on
tho American side.
Tho army olliclals anticipate llttlo trouble
with tho barbed wiro fences erected by the
.Spaniards. Every man in tho Invading
army is provided with a pair of wlro cutters,
and they will make short work of tho wiro
harriers.
It Is estimated that Gen. Lainares has
nearly twelvo thousand regulars and many
volunteers under bis command at Santiago,
wbilo as many more reiufurccmcnts are try
ing to rcasb hi 111.
den. Shafter, 011 tho other baud, is leading
sixteen thousand Americans and five thous
and Cubans in tbo attack, while 3,000 more
are now on tho march bringing up tho rear,
making the total number available hi the at
tack 21,000.
Army officials expect great results from
the single dynamite gun with (ten. Shatter's
army. It will do destructive work in the
city and the trenches surrounding Santiago.
Gen. Shafter mado no montion as to
whether or not the licet made 11 simultaneous
attack with the army. It is not belcivod
however, that the forts will bo attacked un
til Santiago has boon captured, but on this
point tho ollicials are apparently ignorant.
CAMARA WILL GO

miral has boon refused coal here, ho will

ships need repairs.
It was authoritlvely stated that Camara's
ships have plenty of coal, but bo wanted to
replace tho quantity consumed in making
tlio passage from Cadiz to this port.
Thero is no doubt as to Camara's destina
tion. Having paid tho canal tonnage duos,

I'iaya Del ISsto, Cuba, July 1. It Is
believed that General Calixto Garcia,
whoso forces were taken to tho east
border to co-operato with tho United
States army in tlio capturo of San
tiago do Cuba, will bo sent back with
8,000 of his men to stop tlio ndvanco
of General I'ando, the Spanish com
mander, who, with 7,400 troops, many
pack horses and a quantity of cattlo
on tho hoof, has arrived at a point 71
miles from Manzanillo, going cast to-
Vr.danntlngo do Cuba. According
to informntteiTTvlTTcrrrfJiueVu?. flag
ship Now York yesterday from Colonel
Itios, In command of tho Cuban camp,
General Pando started from Manzan
illo on Juno 22, and Is traveling at tho
rato of 12 miles a clay. Tho distance
to Santiago do Cuba is 127 miles, and
the roads leading there are rough and
difficult to travel. The Cubans now op
posing Oonernl Panda- number only,,
about 200 men.
General Shatter left his ship on
Wednesday nnd took up his, quarters
with General Wheeler at the front. His
appoarance there gave rise to the ru
mor that an attack on Santiago would
occur at once, but tho staff olllccrs
say It is Impossible to get tho army In
shape to strike a blow for several days.
About 2,000 troops aro camped four
miles east of tho city, and tho remain
dor of tho forces stretch along tho road
from thero to Juragua and Daiquiri.
The advance forces nre In a soml
circlo, tho loft flank resting about two
miles from tlio soa, under tho command
of General CbnlTco, with tho extreme
right, under the command of Colonel
Miles, about a mile to tho northwest.
Beginning with the Twelfth Infantry at
the extreme left, tho Soventh, Seven
teenth, Fourth, Twenty-fifth and Tenth
Infantry extends to tho right In tho
order named. Heyond them picket
lines are established three-quarters of
a mile nearer, Santiago city being In
plain sight of General Chaffee's and
Colonel Miles' troops.
Tho forces of tho American army aro
being mobilized as rapidly as possible
In tho vicinity of Aguadores, four miles
from Santiago do Cuba. The moment
the tedious task Is completed the at
tack on Spain's last ditch In eastern
Cuba will bo begun. When that will
ho. General Shafter cannot say.
The troops can bo moved without
serious delay, and nre pushing forward
rapidly, hut tho movement of tho
pack trains, wagons, ambulances and
artillery Is taxing tho skill and endur
ance of tho officers and men to tho
utmost. From Balquiri, where tho ar
tillery wns lunded, to the present point
of concentration, tho road runs
through n tangle of tropical undor
growth, up and down stoop hillsides
nnd over treacherous swamp bordered
streams for a distauco of over 12 miles.
Through this continuous thicket tho
roar guard of tho army is cutting lta
way. Engineers are at work lovollng
tho track and lining pits, whilo a largo
forco of regulars and volunteers with
axes, aided by Cubans with machotes,
nro hacking down trees and clearing
out tho brush. A few light guns have
already reached this port, hut tho
Eoigo guns aro not yet within flvo miles
of tho vanguard.
Much amusement has been caused
among tho officers by the largo num
ber of lied Cross lings flying from, tho
buildings In Santiago. Soven such
flags wero counted Wednesday. They
are all flying from tho Iargost and most
promlnont buildings, nnd our officers
say tho Spanish soldiers evidently thus
try to protect every placo In tho city
offering a good mark for the Ameri
can nrtlllory.
For tho past day or two tho landing
places hnvo been without Incident.
Tho hospital corps has finished its
camp, and sovoral patients nro nlrcady

Haslcm squadron, under command of Com
modore Watson, and before the end of next

t'atnara's tleet now at l'ort Said.
The purchase by American agents at l'ort
Said of two colliers loaded with coal and
despatched to that place by Siiln, was a
movo in tho interest of our Kastcrii squadron.
Itosldos the coal on tbeso colliers, tho Ameri
can agents also purchased all the available
coal at l'ort Said, and it will lie dcliveied to
Commodore Watson when ho goes through
the Sue, canal in his chaso after tlio Spanish
lleet.
Tho navy department Is now equipping a
supply boat which cull carry provisions and
supplies to last Watson's lleet for four months.
The hitter's object is not to bombaid Spanish
cities, but to captuie or destroy Spain's
squadron, und tliis will be accomplished if ho
bus to sail to Manila, twenty thousand miles,
to do it.
Admiral Sampson and Coiniuodoio Watson
aro now forming plaus and details for tho
sqiiadion. Tlieio is. no danger of a scarcity
of coal. litch vowel will take on a supply
to take them to tho Balearic Islands, whore
