Shafter Takes Command of the Troops in Person. GOILS SLOWLY"1 GHTN IN G Disposition of the American 'Forces at Santiago. Orders for Immediate 0cm: patlon GI'ven Out Gonrrals Garcia and Shaft-t Confer. Spaniards Are Falling Back Up to the City Where the Final Stand W111 Bo Made. ' With the Army, in Front of Santiago, June 29, via Port Antonio. July 1.—- General Shaffer has reached the front and fallen personal command of the American troops investing the city of Santiago. Almost immediately after hls arrival he issued orders looking to the immediate occupation of Santiago, and personally saw that they were car~ died out. He reached General Wheeler’s headquarters after a three hours’ trip over a scorching trail which .was very trying to the men and horses. General Shatter left his headquarters‘ on board the Seguranca at 8 o'clock, accompanied by Lieutenants:Miley and McClennan and a large staff. Reach- ing the shore he mounted a. large bay horse. The imposing figure of 'the bul- ky general on the back of the huge ani- mal created a great impression upon the men, and attracted thousands of soldiers and Cubans rt-O the beach to get a close view of him. General Shelf- ter rode at once to General Garcia‘s headquarters for the purpose of hav- ing a conference with the Cuban leader, after which he started to join General Wheeler. . , General Garcia was hotly impatient to march at once at the head of his men and cut off the advance of Gem eral Panda and his 8,000 "troops, who are marching £10111 Manzanill-o to join the Spanish forces at Santiago. Gen- eral Garcia was very insistent upon this idea, but General Shafter put an end to the matter by saying: “No; let them get into Santiago and then we will know where we. have got them." The Spaniards 51s falling back upon Santiago and it is lvr'icV'ed that they will make a detei'msned stand and a hot fight in defence of their position in the city. The opinion is generally shar— ed by the American Officers that if the Spaniards are forced to evacuate San.- tiago they will march northward to Nuevitas to join the Spanish column which has just lauded there and later try to effect a junction with the troops. under General Blanca at Havana. This seems to be the most natural move for them -to make, and indeed theirionly resort in the event of defeat or the probability of their. being routed. Spanish deserters 'who have corre 1'11- to the Amérlehn. 1.1.11114fmm—Mn11acc . ,report th‘at' Admiral Ce1 vera has every- :thing in readiness to make a dash out of the harbor with his fleet, his object being to. trv to $111k at least one of the ships' Of the American Squadron- and, if need be, so down with his flags flying and bands playing. This perhaps, is not the Spanish "ad-'" miral’s exact programme, but if the in- formation; conveyed by .the deserters is trustWorthy, ll: clearly shows the state of desperation which the Spanish de- fenders Of Santiago have reached. The Cuban outposts nearest. to the city have reached a picturesque ,old. stone house three miles from Santiago. The port holes and turrets of the old building were a. few days ago manned by 100 Spanish soldiers. Now the house is held by fifty. Cubans. From this po— sition the city of Santiago can be dis-. tinctly seeh 'below. i Red Cross'flags are flying in all parts of the town, Which either mean the recognitionof the Red Cress in the pro- tection of the women and children, or that there is a great deal of sickness in the' city. The latter. however, is untrue, as all of the deserters from Santiago report that the health of the troops and inhabitants of the city is excellent. The cable line has been repaired to Siboney and a telegraph office will be opened at that place to-day. Our Relations 1I'Vlth Canada.
