'A WAR COUNCIL IS HELD The JPeace-athny-Prlce Party Have Sought to Hinder the Expedition. Their Objection Has Been Overruled and the War Council Decides to Send the Fleet to_Spain as Planned. The Original 01'- ders “’ill Be Executed. : Washington, D. C., July 12.—Pres~i— dent" McKinley summoned 'the mem— bers of .the war board towihe Vt'hite House at noon yesterday. Those who responded to the call and were present at the ensuing conference were Secretary Long, Commodore Crowninshie-ld, Chief of the bureau of navigation, Captain Mahan and Ad- miral Sicard. The'subject of discussion at the con- ference was the sending of Commodore Watson's fleet to menace the coast of Spain. For several days past President McKinley has been told by a number of prominent senators that it would be a mistake for us to send a. fleet to Spain. The argument that they have used in opposition to the proposed movement is that it would unnecessa- rily complicate our relations with for- eign governments and would result in little material gain to our arms; that, as it would be impossible for us to oc— cupy Spanish territory, all that we could do would be to bombard a few of the coast cities and destroy some property and lives. It is significant that the opposition to the sending of a fleet -to Spain at this time comes from the members ’of the pro-Spanish peace-a't-any—prlce contingent in the Senate.

OSCAR H. BANKS On the other hand, the secretary of. the navy, Commodore Crowninshield ,rnd the members of the war board .re most emphatic in their Opposition to any change in the programme in connection with the dispatch of our fleet to Spain. They urged the presi- dent yesterday to let the present orders stand, which require the sailing of the] fleet at the earliest possible moment, and they stated to ‘him uhat this course, in their judgment, is more likely to bring about a speedy settlement than .any other that can .be adopted. The secretary as well as the chief of the bureau of navigation think that the effect of the appearance of our war— Ships off the Spanish coast will be to strengthen the peace, party there. At the close of the'. conference the members of the war board announced rthat no change had been made in the plansfor Watson’s fleet and that with the exception of certain details in con- nection with the make upof the fleet the orders .already issued by the sec- retary in regard to its Sailing would be carried out. One member of the board, however, intimated that som-ehopposi- tion to the proposed plans for the fleet had developedat the conference, but that no change has been made in the programme. .. . 'v Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, who is a warm personal friend of the presi— dent, called at the White House yes- terday afternoon to bid President Mc— Kinley good bye. As he was leaving the White House he said: “There is, in my judgment, only one course to pursue. We should take Santiago just as spee- dily as possible, leave a strong garri- son of negro troops in charge of the place and get the rest of our troops off the island of Cuba and keep them away from Cuba until fall. _“I strongly favor the sending of our fleet to Spain. The conference between the president and the war board must have been an exceedingly interesting one, and there is but little doubt but that there is some difference of opin— ion between the president and the prominent naval officers composing the board in regard to the time for dis- (Successor to H.

Playa del Este, July 12.—'Dhe board of survey which has examined the wrercked’ ships of Admiral Cervera’s squadron reports that the Maria Te- resa and Cristobal Colon may be saved and made serviceable to our navy if prompt action is taken. The board made 'a three days’ ex- amination of the Spanish ships. The cruisers Vizcaya and Almirante Oquen- do and the -torpedo boats Pluton and Furor ‘are utter wrecks. The 'main batteries of all of the ships can be saved. The board has made four important recommendations, namely, that no wood should be used in the construction of warships; that no torpedoes should be carried on fighting vessels; that he rapid fire batteries on battleships are of supreme importance and that the fire of the main battery should be below the protective deck. Sixty-one she-ll holes were found in the hull of the Alm-irante Oquendo, 'twenty-fo-ur in the Vizcaya, thirty- three in the Maria Teresa and eight in that Of the Cristobal ColCn. The Vizcaya was blown up by her own torpedoes. Washington, July lz—The secretary of the navy has received a dispatch from Admiral Sampson in regard to the wrecking operations about tobe- gin to raise two of the Spanish cruis- ers destroyed off Santiago a week ago. The message was in reply to a tele- gram sent by the navy department on Saturday, informing Sampson in regard 'to the size of the wrecking force sent to Santiago, and asking him if he re- quired anything further. Sampson’s reply stated that the apparatus divers sent by the department were sufficient to perform the work required, and that nothing further would be nee- ded to reclaim the wrecked battle- ships. - __________._..__ GENERAL SHAFTER’S STRENGTH. Estimated That He Now Has 22,850 ~ Fighting Men at His Disposal. Washington, July 12.-—General Shaf- ter’s available force to-day, after ing the dead, sick and wounded, is 22,- 850 fighting men, according to military estimates. ' . This isbased on an estimate of 16,000 men in General Shafter’s original ex— pedition and about 10,000 in various ex— peditions which have gone since. then, making in all 26,000 men. Against this, however, must be deducted the casual- ties in the fighting thus far, and also the men confined _to the hospital ,by sickness. ' The deduction is roughly estimated at 3,000, leaving about 23,000 men avail- able to-day as .; the fighting force of the American army. ' -The reinforcements that have gone forward are summed up as follows: General Duffield’s brigade, about 2,— 500 men; recruits for: regular army, 950; First Illinois, 950; First District of Columbia, 850; six light batteries of United Stat-es artillery, '700; General Garretson’s brigade, Eighth Ohio, 1,300; Sixth Massachusetts .and Sixth Illihois, 2,600. " ' * Another force of 2,500 men, compris- ing General Ern'st’s brigade, is ready to start, and with this force General Shafter’s fighting strength will be swelled to about 25,000 men by the mid- dle of this week. -- ”a“...
