PLANS ATWASHINGTUN

Rumors of Proposed Changes in
War Movements.

 

GENEnAL MILES arrears

 

Rumored ‘rone of His Statements to the
Secretary of Warn—Tho Lack of Win-
dom in the Plan of Maintaining Camps
in Unhealthy Places-Another Trial
to. thelflolland Submarine Boat—What

is Required.

Vi'ashington, June l’8.—The return of
General Miles .to the war department,

lull of information about camp condi-

tions in the South, gave special zest to
the inquiries about the cabinet meet-
ing yesterday. The meeting lasted only
an hour, howeVer, and when it broke
up" the members attending were more
than usually reticent. Secretary Alger
especially seemed preoccupied. The air

'ls full of stories, which could not be

traced to- a definite source of the effect
of 'his discoveries and his frank way
of describing them upon the secretary.

It is beginning to dawn upon some of
the powers that be at the war depart-
ment that the location of our southern
camps is open to other objections than
inaccessibility and inconvenience. The
delays in getting the men off after the
start had once (begun at Tampa has
been excused on :the ground that after
all it did no great harm to the men
individually, as they were going- into a
tropical country, and the experience of
steaming and stewing on board a heat-
ed transport would serve only to hard-
en them for what was coming later.
This is the argument offered in pallia-
tion of the choice of camp sites in hot,
low places by the water’s edge.
~ The fact which is now forcing itself
upon the department is that the idea of
inuring soldiers to work in a heated
country by keeping them in a fearful
heat for some time in advance is a.
great blunder. The men who have
gone through such an experience are
not hardened. Their vitality is cooked
out of them.

As has been pointed out to the re-
sponsible officer, the way the English
prepare their armies for work in the
‘not lowlandsof the East is to send
them up into the mountains .till they
arethoroughly invigorated, and while
they are still enjoying the effects of
this they are brought downfor a
short, sharp, decisive campaign. Such
preparation, followed by such quick
and hard blows, are said to be the
chief secret of the success of the Brit-
ish’ armies in the Orient.

The Holland submarine boat is to
have another official trial about ten
days hence. The navy department has
required that the boat s'hall demon-
strate’her speed and the accuracy with
which she can measure her own rate
of progress by requiring that she shall
go eight miles on top of the water, then

two miles submerged and then ten,
mlies on top again. _ .
The recent performance of the Ve-

suvius has added fresh interest to the
experiments with the Holland boat, for
the Vesuvius showed what could be
done with her dynamite guns when she
had to make her approach to the shore
in the night in order to escape obser—
vation and had to aim by guess work.
it is claimed for the Holland boat that
she can approach the enemy in broad
daylight, entirely submerged except the
top of the conning tower, which is only
about three feet in diameter—just big
enough for the commanding officer to-
turn his head and shéulders around in,

. that she can come within 500 yards of

her. target, at which distance she is out
of danger of the guns of the enemy,
as she presents no mark for them, and
that she can carry sixty shells, con-
taining 100 pounds of gun cotton each,

‘ and fire them at the rate of one every

two minutes, doing fearful execution.
Riots in Gallo-la.

Cracow, Austrian Galicia, June 18.—
The situation in the district of Gor-
li-ce in connection with the anti-Semitic
excesses is-of the most serious charac-
ter.

Bands of men "from other districts
have reinforced the petroleum workers
and peasants of Gor-lice and are attack-
ing, plundering and burning public
buildings.

They have attacked the towns of
Biecz and Gorlice, which had to be de-
fended by troops.

 

 

Tha Invading Fleet.‘,

Washington, June 18.—No news is
expected from the fleet at Santiago be-
fore Sunday. That statement is made
at the navy department and is based
upon an accurate knowledge of the
course adopted by the troop transports,
and the rate of speed at which the ves-
sels are travelling. The naval officials
are still confident that the vessels have
taken the easterly course by way of
Cape Maysi. They should have round-
ed that point by this time.

 

'l'he Cadiz Fleet Seen.
Gibraltar, June 18.-——The captain of a
German steamer which arrived here
yesterday morning reports having
sighted the Spanish Cadiz fleet off
Ceuta, north coast of Africa, about op-
posite and seventeen miles south-
southeast of Gibralter, “Thursday eve-
ning. The warships, it'lis added, were
going in an easterly direction.
The fleet consisted of two battleships,
four large cruisers and four torpedo
boat destroyers. ’

An Iron “loge- Settlement.

Youngstown, 0., June 18.—An agree-
ment has been reached between the
iron manufacturers and the Wage com~
mittee of the Amalgamated Association
on practically the present rate of 3,4
a ton on a, one-cent card rate for pud-
dling, and the present finishers’ scale.
About 25,000 men are affected by this
decision. The minor changes affect the
rules. The new year commences on

SANTIAGO FORTS‘SILENCED. '

 

Sampson’s Gunners ‘Kenock the Estrella
Battery to Bieces at Break 0!,Day.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 18.-—Admi-
ral Sampson has just completed the
destruction of the, forts commanding
the entrance to. Santiago harbor.

The bombardment was entirely effect-
ive and was carried out in the most
workmanlike manner.

At daybreak the ships left the block—
ading station and stood inshore. The
first gun was fired at tWenty minutes
past five. ‘ a I

The morning was clear and bright
and the sun was just showing above
the horizon when the battleships Indi-
ana, Iowa, Texas and Massachusetts
and the cruisers Brooklyn, New York
and New Orleans attacked the Estrella
and Morro batteries.

The auxiliary cruiser Hornet silenced

.a. small new battery two miles to the

east.

The shooting of. the American ships,
especially with shells thrown against
the batteries on the crest of the hill
at the eastern entrance of the harbor,
was greatly better than the attack on
Monday week. -

The batteries on both sides of the
entrance Were silenced after about half
an hour's firing, and Morro was ap-
parently des‘erted by the garrison,
though the Spanish flag was still fly-
mg.

Shortly after the action began a.
shell from the Oregon struck a mag-a.-
zine in the Estrella battery.
explosion followed. Masses of earth
and stones and pieces of wrecked gun
carriages rose amid an enormous cloud
of smoke. An am‘nunition case was
thrown high in the air, bursting as it
new skyward. -

The Estrella battery, the most pow-
erful 0f Santiago’s defences, was abso-
liutely silent after the explosion.

The loss of. life in the vicinity must
have been enormous.

The ships then went closer to the
Morro batteries. The New' York, at a
range of 3,000 yards, made splendid
practice against the guns on the crest
of the hill. The shells burst all round
them and they were hidden again and
again from sighlt by the sand and earth
thrown up by the exploding projectiles.
In ten minutes the battery was silent
and deserted.

The Spanish ships in the harbor came
down behind Morro and opened a. long
range fire on the bombarding fleet.

A couple of projectiles fell close to
the Iowa and the Oregon, lying direct-
ly opposite the harbor entrance, but
none of the American ships were hit at
all during the action. ' I

The American ships replied vigorous-
ly to the Spanish vessels and drove
them back- up the harbor. >The New
York then signalled the ships to re-
sume their station. '

When the bombardment began the
New Orleans steamed a mile' along the

A terrific ~

coast and through a gapfin t-he.hil_ls’

brought her fire as nearly as, possible
on the same area as thatbf the New
York. ‘ . " -

As a spectacle this wasthe finest
part of the bombardment? The guns
were given a great elevation so as to
clear the high promontory between the
sea and the harbor. .

Of course it is impossible to ’know
the effect, as the town and the harbor
are hidden behind a hill three hundred
feet high, but there is no doubt it we.
terrible.

SPAIN’S TROOPS IN CUBA.

 

. Cuban Officer Says Over 10,000 Are Guards

ing Coast in Mantanzae,

“Key West, June
gunboat which has arrived from of!
Havana reports all quiet along the
blockade. Small gunboats Of the enemy
still try 'to lure American ships within
range of the batteries, but occasional
exchanges of shots have done no dam-
age.

The gunboat, which has been on the
Havana blockade for three weeks, had
on board Major Prado and two aides
from Colonel Roja’s insurgent forces,
with dispatches for the Cuban junta.

Major Prado and his aides left the
interior of Matanzas province on June
4 and‘went through swamps to the
coast near Cardenas. They waited
there for seven days, eluding Spanish
troops, finally getting a small boat,
in which they rowed to the nearest
American ship.

The Cuban major says there are be-
tween 10,000 and 15,000 Spanish troops
under General Molina, in Matanzas
province, most of them near the coast,
between Matanzas and Cardenas.

The Cuban forces number Setween
6,000 and 8,000 men in the same terri-
tory.

Both sides are reported to be well
armed but, sorely in need of provisions,
especially the insurgents. The Spam-
iards have no corn for their horses and
are feeding them on rice.

 

Arrival of American Troops. .

London, June 18.——A special dispatch
from Madrid says that, according to
a. dis-patch just received from Hong
Kong, four warships carrying the flag
of the Philippine insurgents have ap—
peared in Manila bay and attacked the
city from the sea, in combination with
the insurgent forces on the land.

This dispatch probably indicates the
arrival at Manila of the cruiser
Charleston and the transports Austra-
lia, City of Sydney and City of Pekin,
carrying 2,600 United States troops, un.
”der command of Brigadier General An-
derson. Our transport fleet was due at

‘ Manila on June 15, so that news of its

arrival on that day or the day before
could have reached Hong Kong by
now. Of course there are no insurgent
warships, and if an attack was begun
by Dewey‘s fleet, as seems probable,
and a junction with the insurgents ef-
fected by the troops, the American flag
now floats oven Manila.

New Implements of Warfare. '

Washington, June 18.—The quarter-.
master’s department, late yesterday af-
ternoon, awarded
10-inch wire cutters. They are to be

What They Tell About Conditionsin the
Districts East and “’est of Havana—-
The Spauisl)
gagements Between the Spaniards and

Insurgents—The Number of Troops and
Their Condition.

Key \Vést, June 13.—Two Cuban com-
missions are now here, who were pick-
ed up by our steamers, one from a
point between Cardenas and Matanzas.
The latter is in charge of Major Pra—
do. He is accompanied by two lieu-
tenants, and although they report great
scarcity of provisions they are healthy
and robust. Major Prado said:

“lVe have come here to report and
to seek provisions. In the district
where I came from, we have 2,000 men,
well armed, while the Spaniards, taking
Cardenas and. Mata‘nzas together: have
probably fifteen or sixteen thousand.
Still, we are in complete control of the
country up to within a. few miles of
either place. Early in this month 200
of our men had an engagement with
0,000 Spaniards in the woods back of
Cardenas. The Spaniards admitted
that they lost fifty men killed, while
we did not lose a man. We were in
the brush and they could not dislodge
us. Food is very scarce, both in~ Ma-
tanzas and Cardenas. The Spaniards
have no corn and are feeding their
horses on rice. Gomez is in the cen-
tral part of Santa Clara province and
in need of provisions and ammunition.”

.The other Cuban arrivals are Colonel
Arnao and Major Soto, who came from
western Cuba, the Vuelta. Abajo dis-
trict. They report the Cubans to be
in good health and hopeful, there, but
subsisting only on fruits and herbs.
They are nearly naked, so Senor Poyo
says.

In Pinar del Rio there are reported
to be from twelve to fifteen thousand
Spaniards, well armed, and about five
thousand Cubans. 130th commissions
reported to Senor Poyo of the junta and
are here after provisions and ammuni-
tion. '

Advices from the blockading squad-
ron' off Havana report that the Span-
ish gunb‘oats have not attempted any
demonstration since a. week ago last
Sunday, when four of the gunboats at-
tempted to entice our fleet under the
guns of the forts.

It was stated yesterday that the most
conclusive evidence has been found
against the Twick'en'ham, going to
prove that: she was'undoubtedly sailing
under the orders of the Spanish. con-
sul after leaving Martinique. Several
in her log book are missing.
The Spanish officer, now held here as
a. prison_er,,.was. found disguised as a
fireman hiding in the engine room. An
examination of his effects proved that
he was undoubtedly the second mate of
the Spanishlhcspital snip Alicante, 1y-
ing off Martinique. Naval officers be-
lieve that’th‘is ship is supplying the
Spanish’torpedo boats with Coal.

Big Mining Deal.

Cincinnati, 0., June 18.—The formal
transfer of all the mines in the Jellico,
Tennessee district, was made yesterday
at Jellico. The operators, lessees and
mine owners are now there for that
purpose. The purchasers are the mem-
bers of an English syndicate represent-
ed by W. G. Burzy of New York, who
several weeks ago sent maps of the
prOperty.to London, and also the fig-
ures asked for the mines. On Monday
he'was authorized to close the deal.

The price is understood to be between
$3,000,000 and $4,000,000, which, with
other mining property the syndicate
has purchased, runs its investments L :i
to $50,000,000. ' '

 

Spanish Spica in Kingston.

Kingston, Jamaica, June 18.—Spies
are numerous at Kingston. Just now,
as I was calling upon the United States
consul, a servant had to be summoned
to clear the doorstep of the consulate
of loitering Spanish speaking persons
pretending to be Cubans, but suspected
of being spies for Spain. Mr. Dent is
constantly watched and has to leave his
hotel‘and go, for the :zake of more pri-
vacy, to live at the club. Many refu-
gees from Cuba are here, but sympa-'

A dainty gown of polka-dotted celu
linen with the spots in white silk has a
very deep straight flounce which is set
on the sheath topof the skirt with a
double row of um ulltel whit: silk
cord. The cord passes up one side of
the front, where the skirt is open,
having for ornament pearl buttons
encrusted with cut steel. This manner
of arranging the skirt is a new point, ;
many ofvthe latter imported models
being made to open at the side or
directly in front. Some tailor skirts
are closed with a double line of bone
buttons and button-holes in front, ”im-
itating a rcdingote, as there are buttons
on the jacket apparently a contin-
uation of those on the skirt. Gowns of
silk and thin fabrics are often studded
with buttons of the mo‘st- elaborate
description.
