PLACES ADMIRAL SAMPSON AT DISADVANTAGE. an- It Enables Cervera to Remove Mims From his Vessels and Mount Them and Which it Will Cost Rivers of Blood to Capture. A dispatch from the New York World correspondent, dated off Santiago, June 7, via Kingstcn, June 11, says: Admiral Sampson says and thorizes the World to print: “If I had ten thousand troops I could occupy Santiago within forty-eight hours.” All naval officers wonder why no land forces are furnished. Santiago defences are now prac tically demolished, but delay means repairs and the remounting of smaller guns and the placing of Cervera’s 1 i-inch guns in splendid positions. Next week the army will face thrice the difficulty of to-day. If given a little time Cervera can cover the land and sea approaches with the following guns: Fourn-inch. > Two 10-inch. Forty 6 inch. Over one hundred 6-pounders, i Many smaller rapid-firers. * Admiral Sampson’s dailu-rw snouhy*4at these gunt i/iave not yet removed from the ships. But the admiral is most anxious for troops before Cervera plants batteries which it will cost rivers of blood to take. The Cuban general Garcia is nearing Santiago. He probably has two thousand men and twelve Hotchkiss 1 a-pounders. Admiral Sampson is considering a plan of sending his own held ar tillery ashore to aid Garcia if he arrives soon, and to take Santiago before the tardy troops get here. Gen. Garcia’s men are the best disciplined of the Cubans. They are used to the support of artillery. The steep hills surrounding San tiago are excellent for bombard ment, signalling and assault. The nightly risk of torpedo boat attacks is wearing greatly on the fleet. Even “Fighting Bob” Evans is growing worn. Admiral Sampson appreciates this, but is determned that no Spanish cruiser shall escape. He said to me to day: “Especially after the other night’s torpedo boat episode the wear on our captains has been tre mendous, Neither can their crews stand the nightly strain and be at their best, but we must keep right close up so that by no possibility in no darkness and by no storm can thegSpaniard’s escape. It is said the sunken Merrimac bars their exit. That maybe so,—but” —and Admiral Sampson spoke from his heart—“I would rather lose my head than let one of them get away.” The local Cuban Chief, Cebreco, is aiding Admiral Sampson great* ly. He reports 7,000 Spanish troops in the Santiago entrench ments, on the fortified keys and at the entrance to the defenses. Capt. Chadwick, of the New York, esti mates the number at 5,000, and the World’s last field news shows that number.

The fighting was al- iost continuous for thirteen hours until 6 o’clock this morning, when reinforcements were landed from the Marblehead. Four of our men were killed and one wounded. The advance pick ets under Lieutenants Neville and Shaw, are unaccounted for. Among the killed is Assistant Surgeon John Blair Gibbs, son of Major Gibbs, of the regular army, who fell in the Custer Massacre. His home was at Richmond, Va. f but he had been practicing in New York, and he entered the service since the war begun’ He was a very popular officer. The other killed are: Sergeant Charles H. Smith, of Smallwood. Private William Dunphy, of Gloucester, Mass. Private James McColgan, of Stoneham, Mass. Corporal Glass was accidentally wounded in the head. The Spanish loss is unknown, but it was probably considerable. The splashes of blood found at daylight at the position the Span iards occupied indicate fatalities, but their comrades carried off the killed and wounded. The engagement began with desultory tiring at the pickets, a thousand yards inland from the camp. Captain Spicer’s company w’as doing guard duty and was driven in, finally rallying on the camp c and repulsing the enemy at 5 o’clock.
