Commander "J." of tbs Kaiser' Navy Praia Sampson' Work at Santiago. TVasnuroTO. Jan. 31. Another Interesting publication ot Its war series has just been Is ued by tho office of Naval Intelligence. It Is 'entitle "Sketches of the Spanish-American War." and tho author l Commandr J. of the German Navy. The Identity of th anony mous writer Is Indicated In an Introductory note by Commander Rlchatdaon Clover, Chief Intelligence Officer, who says that during the war the German protected cruhver Geier, Com mander Jaeobson. Ta stationed In the West Indies and was permitted to pass In and out ot the blockaded ports. The aketchea are a translation ot an arttol In the .Vnrtnc-Aund-srhan of Berlin, an official publication. Dur ing the war the Ueier visited San Juan, Porto ll.co; Havana. Santiago, Clenfueros and other ports In Cuba. Commander J speak in com plimentary terms ot American naval officers, who, ha says, are intelligent and energetic as wll as bravo and gelt-possessed leaders, and the American sailor are cool-headed nnd good marksmen. "It cannot bo denied.' he adds, "that a cer tain weakness regarding the personnel lies In the fact tint so many different nationalities are represented on board: but I believe this clrcumstancs Is not of very great weight" Probablv Ignorant of the faet that Admiral Sampson expected to find Cervera's Meet thete when h suddenly appeared off San Juan on May l'J. Commander J . after quoting a protest from a Sin Juan newspaper against the dan ger to -vomen. children, old meu and theslec which cam from bombardment without no lle, says "The Spanish are not entirely wrong In this. A real surprise could have been of advantage to Admiral Sampson onlv In case It had been his Intention to force the harbor If It were simply a question of reconnoisaanc he might have granted a delay of two or three hours without in any manner pretudicing the result ot the bombardment. As it v is. the inhabi tants were rudely awaxened from :helr aleep. The troops and volunteers at once hurried to their posts, but old men. women and children sought their safety in the fields and roads out side the city ' This criticism does not hold against the knowledge that Admiral snmnson counted on making the Spanish fleet show Itself bv a sud den appearance and Immediate bombardment, and forcing th harbor If the fleet were found to be ther. In commenting on the Santiago campaign the writer says it Is Incomprehensible why the Spanish Commander-in-Chief, liter tho American troops had arrived and their plan of a'tack was known, dl I not at least have tho treopsn from Morro Castle and the t-oeapa. hwere they were of no u- whatever, co-operate In the defence of the threatened iw)ItIons ' on the tnsln line H savs, "t hold El Canev and Mn Juan nsagaiast th vastly superior American forces was an Imtxejsihlhtr. al though th positions were particularly well chosen aad the ground very dlflleult for the assailants. Whn the Americnns finally suc ceeded in the assault, they found th trenchs ot :?an Juan filled with dead, and thsy burled the brave Spanish oldiers where they had fal len Dy stmpiy lining up me tranches wnn earth " The causes of the Spanish defeat at Santiago, tn the opinion t f Commander J., were that no thoughr had been taken of supplying the large cities with provisions ft was the plan of the Spanish Lommaniler t defend th whole coast, even the sm tiler harbors, thus necessitating a scattering of troops . on May 'M at the latest, when the American fleet had closed In and there could no longer be any doubt as to the American plans, the triors at Guantanamo and Manzanlllo'should nave been concentrated at Santiago The Spanish troop had no field artillery and their slegu artillery was utterly unserviceable. The writer refer to the division of responsi bility for the Spanish fleet and troops and adds "The co-oper itlon ot the navy and army I" of the greatest Importance, and at the Kreat minii'UVTes In time of teice it should receive xne same attention thit other problems do." Continuing, he ays "The American fleet has In every resrect performed Its tasks in front of Santiago The transport tteet wa convoyed to the plices ehoe.i by warships and the land ings were effe- ted under the same protection. A. systematic bloekn.le had been established and in this connection the main object, name ly, the destru. tion of Cervera's fleet, was never lost sight of. Thants to the lntel'lcent dispo sition of th Commander-in-Chief of the fleet and the skill of the American officers and crews, this object was attained with.eomplet SU'Cesi ' ORDERS FOR SAUVSOX'S SQVADROX. llavaaa the Rendeivous for tha Evolutions In West Indian Waters.
