reasons lor for Ms first the men have suffered buttered beverly from hardships the climate and from severe overs fevers and are entitled to it a refit second it Is deemed to be very bad practice to allow the soldiers who nho haio hae been exposed to yellow fever to bo be brought in conta contact et with those fresh from the united states there Js Is also still another reason rea son a purely military one ten thousand spanish troops tire are at man anillo canillo and other points within striking distance of santiago aeo and might not loose an opportunity to recover the ground d lost at

characterized by the secretary us its unauthorized it Is the general understanding bowe homeer ho weer or that the navy u will ill rely mally on armored ships chips for the bombardment of san juan as the big battleships and monitors fl afford tile the best means of offensive warfare abile their armor belts protect thom from such fires as the san juan bat batteries batterley can bring to bear the fortifications there aro much like ilka those of santiago with a morro castle at the entrance of the harbor and a number of le lesser leer er fortifications lending leading up to the th city these however are viewed with less one ave since art an examination of the batteries at santiago has shown them to be antiquated and capable of little effective resta tence tho the movement of the ships from santiago to their new held fields of action will begin rt at once and it Is probable that some of 0 admiral sampsons Samp sons ships were detached today and proceeded with gen cen miles with the
