American Troops and Insurgents Even Now May

CHICAGO, June 25.
News reads as follows :
A special copyrighted cable to the Daily
Santiago, Friday, via Port Antonio. The latest estimate is that
the American troops will storm the outer entrenchments east of Santi
ago tomorrow, and that they will be at the very gates of that city Sun
day. The Cubans are to be given the post of honor if they can hold it.
A junction has been formed between Garcia and Castillo, and about
C000 Cubans are now co-operating with the Americans.
The need of horses is imperative. There are not enough animals
to get the artillery along, to say nothing of the wagon trains of supplies.
Light batteries of siege guns are now moving on Santiago.
troops were ordered by the states, the re
striction of the call to tlie National
Guard having a tendency to shut out
the colored men. When the second call
was issued the president let it be known
that he would like to have an opportun
ity given to negro volunteers to enlitt
when new organizations were to be
taken in. In responso to this sugges
tion seven companies of colored troops
are to be mustered in North Carolina,
which, added to three colored companies
already in service from that state, will
make a ten-company regiment of more
than 1000 men.
In Alabama a battalion of negro troops
was taken in under the first call. Two
battalions of negro troops will be ac
cepted from Virginia under the sicond
call. There is now at Camp Alger a
colored battalion from Ohio, and one of
for the rough riderB. The rough riders
were supplied with at least two Colt's
automatic machine guns when they
started from Tampa, and army officials
are waiting to hear whether these were
used witli effect or not.
At 10 o'clock General Miles and Secre
tary Alger had a long conference. The
general, when asked as to the situation,
said the press reports told tlie whole
story so far as was known. It showed
the terrible earnestness and courage of
our men and the spirit witli which they
were entering upon this attack. The
loss of Captain Capron and other brave
men from the rough riders and cavalry
men was a serious blow, Miles said. Ho
said Capron had been one of tlio very
best officers in tlie United States service,
a man who knew no fear.

unteers raised under the regular levies,
four of the so-called immune regiments
will be composed of negroes.
In furnishing oiheert for these colored
commands the department l"is had a
terlous problem to deal with. It is be
lieved the president will give the ne
groes representation as officers.
Army experts regard tlie officering of
negio rcghnonts with negroes as an ex
periment which may or may not turn
out well. Tlio negro needs to ha well
led, they say, to make a good lighter,
and there is some doubt whether colored
troops will follow one of their own race
as well as they would a white officer.
