about Guuntaiiaino bay udvnciles landing General Sliaflers army there
Colonel Cehrero urgeii llio selection ot Acerrnderos as R better placo to land
tho troops than either of thn others It Is a hard dangerous march from that
point to tho plateau opposite Santiago but tho invading army would be In ft com-

It Is considered most likely as Indicated lu my former dispatches that the
Amrrlmn troops will disembark nt llic biso of the high mountain to tho westward
of Santiago Covering tho landing plnco am two lew hills of which tho Americans
luslly could like possession This done tho Spanish can bo driven Into retreat

When everything 110 Is ready the wreck of the Mcrrlmau can bo dratroyrd
