Siege Push Near Santiago Could Start Today
From Guama River near Santiago, General Shafter weighs attacking now or waiting for siege guns and Pando’s 8,000 Spanish troops. Reconnaissance shows Spaniards drawn close to the city while U.S. forces push forward with rations, engineers, and heavy siege guns ready for action.
Pando Moves Eastward With 8700 Troops Toward Santiago
From Manzanillo General Pando advances with 8700 Spanish troops and cattle to aid the beleaguered Santiago de Cuba garrison. American plans see Shafter and Sampson coordinating to seal the harbor and push toward Linares forces as reinforcements arrive.
Spanish Army Moves Toward Santiago de Cuba
The Spanish forces under Linares press toward Santiago de Cuba with 14,000 entrenched troops facing Shafter's about 18,000. Cuban harassment on General Pando's flank and rear complicates the march, while supplies to Cuban forces from Key West expand ahead of a planned assault.

Banks Attach Our Coal In St Thomas Western Caribbean
Banks in the West Indies attach about 6000 tons of American coal as damages for 300 tons taken by the cruiser Montgomery. Government protested the consular draft and now pays cash, causing a reaction against US credit below par in the region. The Navy Department red tape is blamed, and the Southard remains in port at $100 a day with 1500 tons of coal.
