- We were not unprepared for his
success as he has succeeded. in captur-
ing high honors each year. In afecent
conversation with the writer he drew
attention to the fact that while his
home had not been in the old town
since his firso college year, that he
should always take pride 1n being a
representative of Wilton, and true to
his word “Samuel E. Bassett ofVVilton,
Conn, goes forth from his Alma Mater
to gain further honors in the greater
school of the wide, wide world. Good
luck to you Sam, wherever your duty
calls you, there shall we look for you,

that we know you deserve.

:SPANIARDS FLEE BEFORE AMERICANS
f'l‘hree Thousand Leave
Advance
San General Lawton's headquarters,
Five Miles East of Santiago De Cuba,
‘June 29, Via. Kingston, July 1.—The Am-
erican troops spent yesterday in feeling
for the enemy, otherwise engaging in
reconnoisances. General Shatter in
person, with a small escort, went al-
most to El Caney. «a small town five
miles northeast of Santiago de Cuba,
with which the city is connected by
railroad. Lieut. Standingtand a detail
of Cubans and American sharpshooter-s
occupied a small hill northwest of the
American lines and looking directly
down on both El Caney and Santiago.
El Caney now seems to hold only
about three hundred Spanish troops,
the number reported by the Cuban
scouts, in spite of the belief of the Am-
ericans at firs: that there were 3,000
Spaniards ”there who were driven out.
by Our advance on Baiquiri and Jura-
gua and had all retreated on E1 Caney
and not on Santiago.
The small number of troops now at
Caney indicates that the Spaniards
ghave practically evacuated the place,
‘and this is believed to be the case. Lieu-
ttenant Standing was not molested dur-
iing his observation, though he passed
through a camp which twenty—four
hours previously had been occupied by
a strong Spanish outpost.
Our men suffer from cold at nights
from lack of the blankets thrown away
on the march. These have been appml
-'pria'ted by the Cubans, who take ev-
ery-thing in sight and do as little as
possible. On the whole they actually
fare better thanvour men. Compared
with their recent condition .this is in]-
measurably the' case.
The American officers, generally, ex-
pect a movement to-day to capture Ca—
El Caney at Our
force from Santiago, But Tn view 09';
their previous retreats .this is consid-
ered unlikely.

His Stay at Port Said a Violation

EGYPTIAN DECISION FINAL
Permitted t‘o Coal from His Own Trans-
ports—The Fleet Is Awaiting the Arriv-
al of Three Colliers—The Navy Depart-
ment at Washington Not Apprehensive
-—Rumors That the Torpedo Boats Will
Be Abandoned.
London, July 1.——It was learned this
afternoon that the Egyptian [govern-
ment has decided to notify Admiral
Camara that his fleet must leave Port
Said, as it is violating neutrality.
Port Said, July 1.—The Egyptian gov-
ernment :this afternoon gave its sanc-
tion to the Spanish fleet, under com-
mand of Admiral Camara, coalim from
its own transports, and the warships
are now engaged in the work of taking
coal on board. The Isla de Luzon, with
a cargo of coal on board, has arrived
here. The Egyptian government had
previously prohibited the fleet from
taking on board anything more than
coal enough to enable it to return to
Spain.
The fleet is awaiting the arrival of
three colliers. The report that the ad-
miral will leave his torpedo boats here
is reiterated.
Washington, July 1.—While not abat-
ing its 'close watch over Admiral Ca.-
mara’s fleet, tvhp navy department does
not feel the same degree of apprehen:
sion respecting 'the movements of these
ships as it did when the start was
made for Port 'Said. The gvernment
has. done everything possible within
fair lines to prevent this fleet from
reaching the Philippines and the agents
of the state department have been par-
ticularly successful in this work. The
United States Consular Agent Broad-
bent has just made a master stroke,
which he reports to the‘ department.
While the Spanish ships were seekina
permission of the Egyptian govern-
ment to take coal at Port Said, the
consular officer succeeded in quietly
buying up all of the coal available at
that port. This amounted to 20,000 tons,
and it is in a good place to hes-hipped
to Dewey, to serve as a. base of sup-
plies for Commodore Watson’s eastern
squadron when it enters the Mediter-
ranean, or to coal any American vessel
that may pass through the Suez canal,
bound to the Asiatic station, if it should
be decided that it is permissible for
warships to take on coal at Port Said.
The news that reached the depart-
ment through the press reports that
Admiral Camara. is about to leave his
torpedo boat destroyers at Port Said
because they would be unable to wen-
ther the monsoons that rage in the In-
dian ocean at this season is believed
at the navy department to pressage
the dissolution of the squadron and
the abandonment of the cruise to'the
Philippines. As these torpedo boat de-
stroyers have proved their ability to
cross the Atlantic in bad weather, it is
conjectured at the department that the
real reason for turning them back is
one that is almost chronic in the Span-
ish navy, namely,,a break down of the
delicate machinery of the war craft.
Leaving out the three torpedo boat
destroyers, Audaz, Proserpine. and 01'-
tez, there is very little left in the
squadron of an offensive character,
aside from the battles-hip Pelayo and
the cruiser Carlos V. At any rate the
dropping of the destroyers will weak—
en Camara’s squadron so materially as
to make his defeat by Dewey a fore—
gone conclusion if they should come to-
gether'.
_THE NEXT MANILA EXPEDITlQN._
Troops and Ships Preparing. Gen. lllerritt
Took 83,000,000 With Him.
San Francisco, July 1.—-The steam?
ship Newport, on which General Mer-
ritt sailed for the Philippines Wednes-
day, carried $3,000,000. The troops to
go on the fourth expedition will be the
Seventh California, First Montana, the
First ’South Dakota and First Iowa, in
all about 4,700 men. The steamships
Peru and City of Pueblo have been se-
cured. The Umatilla and Walla. Walla.
will probably be impressed. The Aa-
meda will not go because she is carry-
‘ ing British mails to Australia.
The Dolphin’s Injuries.
Washington, July 1.—The Dolphin,
which was in collision, with the cruiser
Newark, is now on her way to Norfolk
for repairs. The extent of the Dolphin’s
injuries is not known, but she must
have been pretty badly damaged, as it
is stated that it will take at least three
weeks 'to repair the vessel. S'he’was
evidently injured below the water line,
as some repairs had to be made before
proceeding to Norfolk. .
Will Probably Not Attack Until Monday,
Washington, July 1.——Infor ation re-
ceived at the war departme last eve-
ning confirmed the impression of Wed-
onesday that General Shatter may not
attack the city of Santiago until next
week. He is evidently waiting for the
’ney. This, however, is not oficial. Such
a move may draw the Snaniggds in ,
