Around Santiago Doom Ed to Capture City
Around Santiago a correspondent reports about 30,000 Spanish troops and volunteers around Santiago Cuba. Captain Alfred Poey of New York says garrisons cover towns within twenty five to thirty miles, well fortified with Krupp guns and artillery, making an assault costly and difficult. He estimates about 50,000 troops in the fortifications and surrounding area, with a rail line to St Luis and a mine connection to Cobre. Poey says the only capture method would be to starve out the garrisons, risking heavy civilian suffering.
