Pondo. Fall iuformation as to possible lines of retreat has tLeev placed at the dis- posal of the war-department. @mne of the most interesting statements is that of Gen- eral Manager Cox. ofthe Spaniab~Ameri- can Mining company at Baiquini, who is thoroughly acqpainted witu all che coun- try surrounding Santiago. He shows tbat the two possible lines- of retreat ares First by the road to El Gobre;:seconds. a9 follow - ing the lines of the Sabspalla and Narraio railroad. The first line will be easy for about tbe first ten. miles, ae far as El Cobre, but after that the cowotry 1s mouotsipous aed barren aad would pot atford subsistance, and the pass to reach the central platean. of the island would

be difficult, The more bikely line of retreat weuld be along the line of; the above mentioned
