Washington, Jone 7. The war ia

ly speaking, if fipain is foolhardy
enough to send the Cadi ft-! llirougn
the Sue canal to attack Dewey in the
Philippine It is anuoum ! on g'""'
authority that before the last Spanish
vessel has passed through the canal, an
American squadron will be steaming
at full speed across the Atlantic,
straight to the mast of Spain, to bring
the war home to the Spanish people.
There is no doubt that Dewey
take care of Inn. I igain-t the Cttdll
fleet, lm-e his own squadron will bu
reinforced by ironclads long h.-fore

ple to realizing sense of the hopless
ness of the continuance of the present
war, and even kindness, it is held,
will dictate such a blow us that wlm h
it is proposed to administer, if the
Spanish persist in this last project.
After the fall of Santiago and the
capture or destruction of Cervera's
squadron, Sampson will have an abund
ance of vessels to spare for the task set
for him. Probably he will divide the
attacking fleet in two squadrons tin-

MOVEMENTS OF CAMARA.
rrntiahllity That Ha Will Hal Vmturr
n. ...... I I'urt laja,
Washington, Juno 27. That tho
Spanish Cudiz fleet is proceeding stead
1 1 v eastward is no longer doubted hero.
Trusted agents of the government on
tho shores of the Moditoruneun are
watching every movement of the ships,
and availing themselves of every relia
ble source of information. So when
wotd came from one of these agents to
day that the squadron wa sighted off
Pantellaria day before yesterday, the
officials wero liound to accept the state
ment as beyond question. The lltst re
port to that Affect, which came through
an Italian newspaper, wa taken with
Home r rvatlon, owing to the known
efforts of the Spanish government to
mislead our naval authorities by Just
such publications In friendly neutral
newspaper. By reckoning of the naval
officers, the squadron should be now
Hearing Candiu, south of Oreecu. At
the rate they aro progressing, the
iqudM should reach Port Said, ul
the entrance to the Suez canal, about
Tmadaj or Wednesday. Beyond this
point it is not believed that the squad
ron will go, for it is confidently felt
that the whole Spanish movement is
nothing more than u ipaotaCUUU dis
play, gotten up to meet the irresistible
demand of the Spanish (sipuluoo and
particularly the clerical party that
something should Ui done to suve the
Philippines to Spain.
There is a question whether the
canal authorities will allow the heavy
Spanish armored ships to risk the pas
sage of the canal, even if Admiral Ca
in a ra is willing to undertake it. Their
draught is so great that they might
cusily ground in the canal and thus ob
struct it to navigation indefinitely.
But oven if all these expectations aro
not well founded, tho naval officers
are confident of the ability of Dewey
to successfully resist attack by the
Spanish squadron. According to their
calculation, tha splendid doobla-tomt
ed monitor Monterey ia very near Ma
nila, under convoy of the Brutus, und
hoi arrival mav bo expected within
two or thiee days. There i not an
ironclad in Cumura's force that would
care to stand before her.

Low Water In tha Yukon.
Seattle, Juno 85. A. S. Keny, the
well knowu lumberman, in a letter to
friend, says the Yukon river i at a
lowei stage than it ha been for 10
years, and he eradiate that not a single
iivor boat will leach Dawson this year
Mr. Keny was at Cariboo Crowing
when he dispatched tho letter with tho
above information, and, he added, the
Indian and old miner predict that
the water will be so shallow on the
rukou flat, that boat, drawing 80
iuobea of water will be unable to oroes
either going up ar down.
WHERE THE TROOPS LANDED
ut the Country Around
n. ... ri.ro...
Haollarjo.
Washington, June 25. Army offlceii
were intently scanning the map ol me
country aronnd Santiago today with a
view of locating the troops and fixing
thnie formation on the eve of the ad
vance- Daiquiri i alnnit 15 miles east
from the mouth of Santiago haibor. A
small river tun inland at that point,
Holding additional facilitiea for land
ing. The map show a road direct
from Daiquiii to the entrance of Santi
ago harbor, and thence along tho har
bor to the city of Hantiago. Bcaldea
this road, a railroad statu a few mile
west of Daiquiri, tunning along the
coast up to the mouth of (Santiago bar-
Juragua, tho othoi point mentioned
In those dispatches, is midway between
Daiquiri and Hantiago harbor. It
also has a small stream, giving addi
tional facilities for landing, and the
railroad appears to tuke It start along
the coast fiom that point.
Back of tins railroad ami highway,
the map show a mountainou forma
tion, which would make the progiess
of an army difficult. It seems evident,
from an examination of the army map,
that General Shatter's troopa at Dai
quiii and Juragoa will move westward
along tho highway, perhii utilizing
the railtoad and appioaching Santiago
from the southeast.
Distinct from this landing, which is
east of Santiago harbor, it seems evi
dent that ot least a part of Ueneral
Shafter' force will land west of the
harbor, thus allowing an attack on
Santiago from the northwest. The die
I ,t hi state that a demoii-tratioii
wus male against Cabanas, which is
shown on the militury map to bo a
-mall place juat west of Santiago har
bor, and not more than two or three
miles from tho month. Further to tho
west ia Aeeriadero, where Oeneral
Kabi and General Garcia have a largo
force of On u troop. I t i clearly in
expedient for tin - Cuban force to muko
an inland circuit clear around Santiago
and form a Junction with Genoral
Shafter to the eat of Santiago har
bor. Their natural base, therefore,
will be to the west at Acciradcro. oo
operating with such of Goneral Shaf
ter' troops as land to the west of the
harlioi. A load runs from Acerradoros
to Cabana. No road is shown along
the west line of Santiago harbor, anil
tho march of the American and Cuban
troops making the assault on the west
side of tho city may be slow and labor
ious, through the tangled tiopical un
derbrush, swamp and rock.
