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.

Friday and encamped on the hill
tuirding the abandoned-cable sta-
ion at the entrance to the outer
;eaia beating off a bush st
acked by Spanish guerillas and
egulars since 3 o’clock Saturday
fternoon. 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.
The bodies of Privates McColgan
and D4nphy were found, both shot
in the! head. The large cavities
causeilby the bullets, which in
side a lange of 500 yards have a
rotar^nyarion, indicate that the
victiMTvere killed at close range.
