tration." !

Spain's "Flying Squadron."
The Madrid correspondent of the

has ordered the formation of a small
flyiug squadron, composed of the cruis
ers Alfonso XIII, Meteor and the
Ciudad de Cadiz, under command of
Lieutenant Commandor J ose G. Sobral.
The Onnosiusr Armies.
"Numerically the opposing armies are i
not very different, the estimate of the j
Spanish force being placed at 14,000
men, thoroughly entrenched and be
hind barbed wire fences and block
houses, as against about 18,000 men
under Shaffer's command, aided by
4,000 Cubans. One of the gravest ele
ments in the problem, however, is the
Spanish warships, for unless Shafter is
materially assisted by Sampson, who
might engage the full attention of the
Spanish ships, their fire upon the
American advance forces would be very
hard to meet.
