The city it- self, aside from its harbor defenses and Cci°vera"s fleet, is well guarded by lines of eutrenchments that have been pushed beyond the boundaries and a top of the hills,at every available point and equipped with the latest types of modern ordnance; there are newly erected batteries at the villages of Altarfs Juragura and Sevilla ; and fiinally the fortifications of Aguadores are to be reckoned with, and perhaps still mor.; recent defenses than the foregoing, manned and equipped by men and guns from the Spanish fleet. Allin all, the ground about Santiago is ideal in the upportunities afforded for defense, and doubtless every foot thereof will be stubbornly contested.
