Kingston, Jamacia-12:35 p. m.
The American front has been ad
vanced beyond the first crossing of
thee Rio Guama about a mile, and a
tug lies three and a half miles from
the Spanish entrenchments.
General Lawton's brigade rests on
the road to Santiago do Cuba. The
Third brigade, under General Chi.f
foe, the Seventeenth, Twelfth and
Seventh regitnonth, holds the trench,
with his counand lying across the
road and river.
The First brigade, tin Eighth,
Twenty-second and Second Massa

roar, and the Second brigad., the

cupics the oppo'it position oil the
right. flank. Gen. Wheelor, with thie
cavalry, is in the rear haet weenl So
villa hills and the Rio (1u;i.mn.
A. strong line of Ou posts is main
tained ahead.
General Chaflee's brigadi, with
three thousand Cubans under Gen
oral Aguirra and several h1undred
under Col. Gonzales, wts skiruish
ing towards the city this morning.
The Cubans had several :,light
skirmishes with the Spaniards sta
tioned on the hills on the American
right flank, and our auxiliaries oc
cupied the blockhouses in that
vicinity, which wore evacuated bo
fore daybreak by the Spaniards.
Tho iattor ret rented towards Santi
ago do Cuba. No fatalities are re
ported.
General Lawton, General Chaftee
and General Wihoolcr have thorough
ly reconnoitered the Spanish posi
tion, and, with th- aid of informa
tion furnished by the Cubans, havn
very good maps of the roads and
defenses of the city.
Much information hans also been
abtained from Spanish pacificos,
who have slipnped out of tine cit.y and
given thenmelves up in tine hope of
getting food. They report great
starvation and distrass in Santiago.
They say the Spanish troop)s are on
short rations and thnat all thne sup
sup)plios are being boeld for t heir
use.
The sick in tine hospitals, tine pa
ci ficos say, areoa sufrn g from lanck
of food, and they also report thnat
seventy-seven Spaniards woero killed
and thnat eig,hty-nnino were woundee
as thne result of tine engagemeint on
Friday last with Col. Wood's and
Young's commands.
The most startlinag informat ion
obtained fromn tine pacificos is lint
since the advaince begani almnost,
t<wenty tihousnnmd Samishn soldiers
hayo arrived at Santiago de( Cuba.

A lit tie weost of south, at a dis
tance of about seson miles from Oen
erall Lawton's head(quarters, lies
Morro Cast le. The road to within a
few hundred yards of the batteries
at the rear of Morro was recon

off, ,uitatisgo will have to yield at
once. They say that Ahniral Cor
vora's entire flot, except thu torpedo
b at destroyer TIrror, is in the har
bor. General Lawton is inclined to
discredit tho reports that guns have
been tuhl.n from the ships to
strengthen the defenses on land. He
says it would be impossible for Ad
miral Ci rvaia to reach the position
of the Atmerican army with his big
guns from where the Spanish ships
lie.
No aggressive move by the Amenri.
cans is anticipated for soveral days.
The road to the base of supplies
nus.t be grn.eat ly improved boiore the
onward iovement. can be safely
mado.
At present it taxes the quarter
master's depart ment to the utmost to
get provisions aiul ammunit ion. Last
night one p tck train arrived with
=1eplies sa,nlicient to last until to
night, and as this di-patch is being
written another train of amnmlt11nition
is coming in. A. train of ammunition
hasa r."ached (Genreral Ch.ldlee's brig
ad(0, and a batterv of Gatling guns
and (1 inamiite guns, attached to the
Ronghl Hiders, has beeni moved to
GenralI Wheelor's ca)p.
There is no high ground in the
1reseit. position where Hotchkiss or
G,ttling guns could ho put in posi
t.ion, blut a li Ilo further on is ground
where gnus can he inoint'd and
from which tin efective fire can be
directed at t:he Spani:h entrench
'T'horo were no alarms last night.
Many of our officers are anmazed, as
they have looked for resistance to
our advance. The ground over
which they have traveled could have
easily been defended, but the Span
ish have steadily retired, not oven
attempting to larras5 our flanks, as
the columns moved on through a
natural amubuscading country.
Apparently, General Linares pro
fers to placo faith in the defenses of
the city and intends to make it "latst
ditch fight" of it. A few-though
only a few-hold to theory that he
does not, porpose fighting at all.
General Calixto Garcia, with 30C
mn, who landted yesterday, is ex
piected to reach the fron t t oday. Tbc
Ameirictans aro in excellent spirits,
ned t here is a remarkable laick of
sickness. Thus far the wa'zter supply
hats boon good, anid there have beenu
no had effects from thle changes ex
c0pt a few cases of d1y sentoriy. Tlhere
was a brief rain squall last night.
