LONDON , June 1l.-New ( York World Ca-
blegram-Special Teiegratn.-In view of the
universal admiration excited by Lieutenant
Hotaona gallant acbievexnent at Santiago , I
inquired of the first lord of the British
admiralty. Minister Coselien , In 'what form
such an act of signal heroism would be ye-
warded by the British navy. Minister
Goechen replied :
"Enclosed are the statutes of the Victoria
cross decoration for rewarding Individual
gallant services rendered by offlcers of the
navy and army. The decoration is open
to men also. There is also the distinguished
service order for rewarding distInguished
services of omcers of the army and navy.
Any recommendation to the queen by the
admiralty to confer either of these decora.
tions is made on a. careful review of th
particular circumstances as described in the
dipatcbea and the rervices must come
strictly within the previtions of the stat-
utes. "
From a perusal of the otflcial documents
furnished by Minister Goscheo , it is clear
that Hobson's heroism would be recognized
by the British navyby a bestowal of the
Victoria cross , the most cherished of ll
distinctions throughout the British empire ,
for the qualifleation is."conspicuous bravery
or devotion to country In the presence of
the enemy. " Lieuteoa.nt Hobson would also
certainly get an advance in rank.

"The sublect is rather a dimcult one for
me to deal with frankly. You see we here
in Italy at least have received two versions
of the sinking of the ldeimac. . One Is the
olciaI American statement , whIch aflirma
that the vessel ns sunk by its own crew ;
the other comes officially from Spain and
alleges that the Mernimac was suik by the
Spanish cruiser Reina Mercedes. You will
understand that owing to my oflicial post-
tion It does not become me to make any
statement which shows the believing one of
these versions to be flagrantly false. This ,
however , I may say. vcrflobson's act such

'If I had 10,000 troops I could occupy
Santiago within forty-eJbt hours. "
All naval oeers wonder why. no land
forces are furnished. antlago'5 defenses
are now practically demllsbed , but delay
means repairs , remount of smaller guns
and placing Cervena's eleven-Inch guns in
splendid positions. Net week the army
will taco thrice the dilcalties of today. If
given a little time Cervera can cover the
land and sea approaabes.by four eleven. two
ten , forty six-inch and rover 3 six-pound-
era and smaller rapl-firers. Sampson's
daily shore reports shoW that these guns
have not yet been removedZrom the ships ,
but the admiral is most. anxious for troops
before Cervera plants battenies costing
'
rivers of blood to take.
The Cuban Garcia is nearing Santiago and
probably has 1,000 men and twelve liotch-
kiss twelve-pounders. Sampson is consider-
tug the plan of sendtng4ils own fIeld antI-
lery ashore to nasist Garcia if he arrives
soon and taking Santiago before the troops
get there.
Garcia's troops are the best disciplined of
the Cubans used to support artillery. The
steep hills surrounding Santiago are excel-
lent. for bombardment , signalling and as-
sault. The nightly risk of torpedo boat
attacks is wearing greatly o the fleet. Even
fighting Itoh is growing worn. Sampson ap-
predates this , but is determined that no
Spanish cruiser shall escape. He said to
'no today : "Especially after the other
uight's torpedo episode the wear on our
captains has been great. Neither can the
crews stand the nightly strain and be at
their best. But we must keep right close
up so that by no possibility. no darkness
and by no storm can the Spaniards escape.
It is said the sunken Merrimac bars their
exit. That may be so , butand Sampson
spoke from his heart , but-1 would rather

MOLE ST. NICOLAS. June 1I.-On ( Board
Dispatch Boat , oil Guantaoaino.- ) ( New
York Vorld Cablegram-SpecIal Telegram. )
-Eight hundred and fifty An.erican marines
landed on the east side of the harbor of
Guantanamo , forty miles east of Santiago ,
yesterday under the guns of the battleships
Oregon , Marblehead and the Yosemite. They
raised Old Glory over the ruins of a blockhouse -
house and cable station whence a regiment
of Spanish troops had been driven by the
well diretted tIre of our ships and their tents
are now pitched upon the camping ground
of the enemy.
The landing was begun at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. The huts of the Spanish on the
beach were burned for sanitary reasons. Not
one of our men was injured , The Spaniards
fled like sheep soon after our fire opened.
The Marblehead , Dolphin and Vixen and
the colliers Sterling and Kingston had lain
off the entrance of the harbor several days.
Friday morning they were joined by the
Oregon. Steaming Into the harbor for a mile
they opened lire on the earthworks. The
shores were lined with the Spanish gun and
rifle pits. A small gunboat ran down from L
the city of Guantanamo , four miles up the ,
bay , to aid the batterIes , but did not stay :
long. Scarcely had it arrived within range
:
before it turned and fled back to thc city
without firing a shot.
Snninr.ls . ltuii.
The hills back of the blockhouse and the
earthworks were. deserted and there were
no defenses on the opposite side of the
harbor. Fifty shots were fired by our wax '
ships at the fortifications. The cable station -
tion and blockhouse were knocked intc I
ruins by six-inch shells. The Spaniarth 1
fired a few shots and then fled in a rout. .
Not one of their shots landed. Forty maninex I
from tb Oregon and twenty from the Mar. .
blehead were then landed. They took pos. .
session of the defenses and held them with .
.o&.Lv.g.iaLa" - waILlnztc arrival of th !
Panther with a strong ioreTh ; iarrn .
They found the earthworks and grount I
about. the scene of the conflict strewn with
machettes , hammocks and ammunition
which had been abandoned by the enemy
itt his panic. A Spanish flag was found in
one of the rifle pits.
The Panther , which had left Santiago in
the morning , arrived soon after the marines
of the Oregon and Marblehead landed , On
its way to Guantanamo It had shelled at
Diaguiri , it Is said , a block house ten miles
east of-Santiago. The Spanish made no re-
ply. On its arrival in Guantanamo harbor
the small landing party was recalled. The
' marines on the Panther disembarked in
whale boats and were towed ashore by
launches , The marines were commanded by
Lieutenant Colonel Huntington. The first
company ashore was company B. led by
Lieutenant Hall. Hardly had it landed , whoa
flames burst from the huts straggling along
the beach.
Immediately the marines began by a oar-
row pathway the aaeent of the heights overlooking -
looking the hay. For an hour the brown
column of soldiers poured up the hills ,
seizing the crest and establishing a fortified
camp that the Spaniards might not take
possession of the elevated ground and corn-
mand the situation with artillery. When
the American flag was floated from the stan
of the captured camp a great cheer arose
from the soldiers and jackles in the ships.
There are said to be 3,000 Spanish troops
five miles away on the opposite side of the
harbor and the main fortification of Guantanamo -
tanamo , a fort within the limits of the city ,
remains to be taken. American ofilcers say
it can be reduced in fifteen minutes if desired -
sired , For the purpose of the expedition the
reduction of this fort was not necessary.

The results accomplished are these : Ad-
mimi Sampson has now an admirable base
of supplies on the south coast of Cuba and
commands a magnificent harbor in which
his ships can be coaled without difficulty.
Troops can be loaded In any number without -
out resi&tancs. A land cable station can be
established with direct telegraphic corn-
munication between the fleet and Washing-
ton. It I. reported that cable repairers
will establish this
communication as soon
as possible.
Our forces are now In a Position to seize
the railway running to Santiago. The men
are In floe spirits. encouraged by this ira-
portant step toward the reduction of San.
tiago and the capture of Cervera's fleet. Alt
that Is now wanting to a forward move.
meat and the end of the task set for them
is the arrival of the army of invasion , The
marines will hold the position taken , aided
by the guns of the war ships , until It comes ,
scouting in the surrounding country in the
meantime. The Panther , which left Key
West Tuesday , brought no definIte inforrna'

The marines who have thus glorified

trial trip after the completion of its re-
pairs. It was soon discovered that it is
not fit for service , and will have to be sent
to Mobile or perhaps one of the Atlantic

When it 53 towed back here from Car-

The trip showed that the patches put on

dtatruction of the sovereignty of Spain in

1S71. They are distributing through the
city , in an eort to Inflame the passions of
the Spanlards circulars blaming the Cubana
for the war with the UnIted States and cry-
lug for revenge.
The situation is one of great peril. Cuban
women do not dare to venture out of doors.
They cannot even stand at the deep barred
windows of their hornet without meeting
insults from their Spanish enemies. Their
houses are closed at. sundown , for then the
Spanish volunteers are drinking deeply n
saloons , toasting Cervera , the navy , the
army' and Spain and cursing their enemies-
the Cubans and the Americans. Then ts the
dangerous hour. Then riot and bloodshed
are possible at any moment.
Octavio Dma hlernandez , a Cuban , CS 7cara
old , was beaten into insensibility only re-
cently. The outratt was committed in the
restaurant El Central , made popular with
the Spanish by the fact that the day after
the Maine was blown up its menu denominated -
nominated all dirhes "a In Maine. " The
proprietor of the restaurant , in conversation
with hlernandes , had made severe threata
regarding what the Spanish would do when
the Americans attack the city. liernandea
replied that the war % vas not his war. but
that he owed the United States gratitude
for hospitality and refuge given to him
when ho was compelled to flee from Cuba
in 1SCS. The Spaniards who heard the so-
mark fell upon him In anger and beat him
to til ( earth , He now lies In a critical condition -
