Washington. June 17. -Army officers who have In-en reading the rts-ent news from I'.iba are discussing with gn at confidence the pr.ep.M-t of an arly encounter ot .'.. fulled States troop with those of S.iln. The superiority manlfost.-d by iho ma-rt-i-s at tiu.intanamo tn lighting the l-d:.-rs ..f lVtn.lo army . ontlrms opinion th.it have been form.sl upon report given by J.-neral L.-o and other obsi-rver of the Spanish soldiers. The Information of the war depart ment Is that three different classe of fighting men will be met bv tne fori-es of the fnlle.1 States. The m.vst annoying and least numerous nr the guerillas. npoc almost exclusively o. an out- . ast cl.iso of blacks, fit for prison. It they have not Just tieen releul to do duty in the service of the country that re leased them. They ore not likely to give or look for quarter, and may be exivet.il to tie guilty of atrocities to the dead or to prisoners in battle. Tn.-y never fight in bodies, but scatter In the bush nd have nom craft of the woods and trail. Sonm f the officer of the army who have been looking Into tho conditions of the f tilted States forces say they will not be surprised to hear that the subju- t a lion of the S;vnl.-h In CuKi will turn out to be very much such a tnsk tho arntv of tho United States undertook In tho M.xt.an war when the progress to. ward tho City of Mexico was scarcely obstructed. Nono of the Spanish soldiers have ever been In anything like a battle. They have been beset by Insurgent bands. who- they could not avoid them, und they have sometime discharged their Mauser rules Into the brush In the hope that th.-re was something to hit. The experience of meeting with armed forces that will not run when attacked will bo an entire novelty to them. If W marines count peueuaie ue ...ties .....i the enemy' country with such success .is was met at Ouantaiuuno, army and navv nun believe that the regiments ot tho army will soon demonstrate their llt- ness to "do up" the Spaniards In cou rt let. Kor many reasons merely suggested here, army oltlcers look for Interesitlng re ports as soon ns General Shafter'g men fcet ashoro and are afforded a chance to use their Krag-Jorgenson rllles. "If said one of them, " there is any Spanish force to be found In the open or in the bush our Infantrymen and dls mounted cavalry w ill tlnd them and light them with good npnetltc, regardless of tho weather. Only those who have come In contact with the regulars of the plain know anything about them. Unless Blan co and l'ando have boon concealing tho unoil qualities of their fighting men, and havo deceived us to load us on, It Is my opinion that In the tlrst engagement our troops will inako It plain that in an open Held, or oven unprotected works, tne men of the fulled Slates force will outmatch them. Our men will prove so superior that wo will wonder why General Shat ter wanted as many as lj.ooa troops to capture Santiago, and clean out the east end ot the Island. NUT READY TO EXCHANGE.

The cannonade ws violent and fearful, and lasted an hour and a half. The Americans fired over 1" projectile and temporarily disabled two lloniorla cannon at La Socapa, covering th' in with earth. The parapet was de stroyed by a fhell. One cannon at Morro castle was damaged by American projec tile. All damages wore retired today. The Americans suffered severe damage. Shells from the Spanish batteries were dearly Ke.-n to fall on the Amerl. an ship', which were approximately two miles off.

Advices received here from Havana from official sources chur acterlie the fighting at Guantanamo bay as "mere skirmishes" with the "net re sult that the Americans have been able to hold the place where they land.il." The dl snatch says: They have suffered greatly both from fusiludu and boat," MILES' OPINION OF THE ARMY. American Troops the Finest Body of Men In the World. Washington, June 17. Speaking In n general way of his observations. General MUea said: "Having spoilt some time with the) troops during tho trying period of their hurried preparation, I nm giad to say they are a slendtd body of men. of which tho country niay well be proud of. As to ( the regulars, they are finest corps In tho world, without any exception. In physi cal development, ettlclency, experience, discipline, marksmanship, equipment and all that goes to mako up Hrst-c.lass sol-: dlers. Captain Dorst's several expeditions to j Cuba have been of great service to tho government, and his last one, In partlcu- lar, being most Important In results. Pro- tected fov a small gunbouit, Onptnln Dorst landed at Banes a steamer load of sup- I piles for the Cuban army, Includitwr 7.600 rifles over a million cartridges and a great quantity of stores. A thousand j Cubans came to him while ithore. The special Importance, of the trip, however, was the opening of direct communication between General Garcia and myself. Two of Garvin's staff officers had returned from Cutia with Lieutenant itownn and came to Washington to see mo. One of theso I sent to Banes with supplies of arms, to move nil his forces to Santiago de Cuba. A message to General Garcia was seivt Juno 1, reaching him June 6 and 1 got his reply by cable from Mole St. Nicholas Juno 10. Ho had about S.000 armed Cubans before he received muni tions of war by Captain Dorst. The sup plies sent will enable G-arcIa to adequately equip over 1.VOO0 Cubans." General Miles, when asked for the con ditions between him and Garcia, said. "In my last communication to him I asked him to move as large a force as possible to the vicinity of the harbor of Santiago de Cuba and co-operate with our army and navy on their arlrval, which I hoped would be wiuiin a few days. He wa to drive In and harass any Spanish troo. nir Santiago de Cuta. threatening and attacking .hem Lt nil point and pre venting any relnforcemetns from reach ing that point. Fending the arrival of our troops he was to s-lxe any position en-t or west of Santiago or b-.-.h which could be used by our artillery. "He replied I bat be w ould regard my wish. and suggestions a ord-r and would Immediately adopt measure to concentrate hi forces as directed. All hi subordinates are ordered to assist In disembarking th United State troops and to place themselves under my order. The energy of hi coure Is shown by 'he rejiorts of the last few day for I see that General Rabl and h men had taken a string posftlon Just west of Santiago." When General Mile wa asked If he expected early fighting, he answered lu-conl.-olly: "Th.tt's what they've gne for." HOPING FOR ASSISTANCE. i Madrid. June 17. 'i he follow ing dispatch ! from Manila, signed by Captain General I August!, dated June 13, Is publbhed offl ! chilly: I "The grave situation set forth In my : dispatch of June 8 continues. The troop i are fighting on the line of the block ' houses, which stop the enemy's advance. . The enemy has been strengthened by the ! desertion of the native troops, which dl l mtnishes our means of resistaoce, and manv are compelled to take refuge within the walled city. j "Communlcaiion with the province Is j still cut off and I do not know whether the detaehment there will be able to hold lout against the lack of resources. I hope to receive assistance from the penln . sula before our means of defense are x ! hausted." MILES AT WASHINGTON. Active Preparation Being Made to Hurry Invasion of Cuba. Washington. June 17. The return of General Miles to Washington from Tampa has had an Inspiring effect upon war prepa rat Ions. Plans are moving steadily f.trward for tho sending of further expe dition both to Porto Rico and Cuba. A mom n ago the military authorities thought a small force would be sufficient to occupy Porto Rico, as the Spanish force there did not exceed 5,000 or. 6.0X men. Now, however, the Spanish garri sons have been so reinforced and the de fenses strengthened that it is believed a much larger Invading army will be re quired. Moreover, the officials were satis fied on learning today that the Cadix tleei had sailed, that the ships would go to Porto Rico rather than to Cuba, it they crossed to this side. It was pointed out that this move would be a natural strate gic one for the Spanish commanders to taite, as there was still something left for them to save In Porto -.co. THE NEXT TROOPS FOR MANILA. San Francisco, une 17. General Merrltt tonight announced ...s selection of troops which will comprise the third expedition to Manila. He says the expedition will sail, if possible, June but It may pos sibly be delayed until July 1. The expedition will be commanded by General Charles King. The brigade on this next expedition will comprise two Idaho battalions, Seventh California. Thirteenth Minnesota, one bat talion of the Wyoming regiment, two bat talions of the North Dakota regiment and will carry ns many recruits as can be ac commodated from the various new squads who have lately enlisted.

If they are not secured, the force of men under General xving may1 not exceed S 500 or 4.000, owing to the limited capacity of the steamers en gaged. Seven transports have already sailed and only (.000 men are yet on their way to Manila. It will requlro nearly iUwenty mora Troopshiys to . carry the 11.000 soldiers necessary to make up the SO.OOO which to given out as the number which will occupy thej Philippines. If the deal with the British North ern Pacific company can be success fully made, the way will be open for engaging more foreign vessels, and the government may yet get such steam ers as the Coptic, Gaelic, and Doric.

The Vesuvius evi dently began a new era In warfare when she made havoc of the Santiago harbor fortifications Monday night with three of her giant shells. Army and navy men are talking about her as reverently as tt she were something supernatural. Cltl xens generally compared her with Erics, son's monitor and said she Is a hundred times more destructive. De Borden VV'll mot representative of the pneumatic tor pedo and construction company ot New York, which company designed and built the cruiser Vesuvius ana sold her to the United States government, after she had undergone a series ot severe tests, said; "The Vesuvius has a battery of three pneumatic guns, mounted tn the bow at (Continued on third page.)
