' Our Warships. Assembling ~03 Fatardo
To Attack the Port Gnayam‘n. Landing
rot Troops at Arroyo Bay. Design!
Against the Spanish Force at Aybonito.
Desire of‘the Inhabitants for Annexation
Porto Rico, .Aug. 5.—0ur warships
are rendezvousing here awaiting or-
ders. The Spanish have erected a
small battery to oppose the landing of
our troops. ”They will not Open fire, so
our ships are not shelling it.
Armoyo Bay, Porto Rico, via. S't. Tho-
mas, Aug. 5.—Under a. brilliant moon
and the searchlight of the cruiser Cin-
cinnati the last of ainesgs brigade has
been landed, and Gen. Brooke has es-
tablished his headquarters.
Genera] Grant’s Fourteenth New
York is expected. The artillery and
cavalry from New 'York are wanted,
‘but the transport Massachusetts is
stuck in the mud .at-Ponce vwith them
on board.
The design is to take Guayama and
advance over the mountain to Cayey.
Beyondis Abonito, where the enemy is
concentrating, a movement which Gen-
eral Brooke will head off, while our
troops on the Ponce :road come up
behind them, and thus stand at the
Thermopyla‘ean pass at Aybonito. This
may possibly be circumventedl andthe
Spanish be frightened on farther to-
ward San Juan.
Guayama is garrisoned :by three bat-
italions of 150 men. ”The Spanish cav-
alry, which was sent to attack the
Gloucester’s marines at Arroyo last
evening, had four men wounded. As al-
ready stated, fifteen men wearing Red
Cross badges sent to recover them this
morning were captured. The British
consul, recognizing a physician, a. den-
tist and an apothecary among them, all
were released. They said that the Spa-
nish volunteers sympathized with the
United States, to which the district ex-
ports sugar and molasses.
The Cincinnati and Gloucester will
shell Guayama, tojcover the advance of
our troops, but an order has been giv-
en not to injure the church, which Is
the finest on the island. The town, at
the fo-ote of a. slope, hides among the
trees. Resistance is unlikely until our
troops are over the mountain.
Guerillas are shooting at our out-
posts north of Arroyo and Ponce.
Ponce, Porto Rico, via St. Thomas,
Aug. 5.—In Porto Rico no desire is ex—
pressed for anything except annexation
to the United States. Trade connec-
tions and political sympathies are mos-
tly American. The Spanish volunteers
say that they were impressed into ser-
vice against their inclination, and
wherever our army has its headquar-
ters they are glad to surrender and
take the oath of new‘ allegiance.
The English and French settlers are
strongly pro-American. General Roy
Stone was entertained by a. delighted
English planter, who had not spoken
his own tongue for twenty years.
The natives would probably organize
a revolt if Porto Rico did not become
one Of the United States.

headquarters from Ponce to Juana.

Sampson to Command Eastern Squadron.
Washington, Aug. 6.—Rear Admiral
Sampson has been ordered to assume
command of the eastern squadron.
which will be ordered to proceed to the
coast of Spain, provided the reply ex-
pected to-day from the Madrid gov-'
ernment to the president’s terms of
peace is not satisfactory.
The fleet is now assembled at Gu-ana
tanamo bay, ready .to sail the moment
the orders are received. It comprises
the battleships Iowa, Indiana, Massa-
chusetts and Oregon, the armored crui-
sers New York and Brooklyn, the pro-
tected cruiser New Orleans, and the
auxiliary cruisers Dixie, Yankee, Yose-
mite and Mayflower. ,
Orders were given some days ago for
the departure of the fleet, but they
were subsequently revoked, in view Of
the probability of peace resulting from
the negotiations initiated by Ambassa-'
dor Cambon.
A Long Sail With a Small Craft.
New York, Aug. 6.——Joshua Slocum,
skipper of the little yawl rigged craft
Spray, has just reached this harbor af-
ter completely circling the globe in the
smallest vessel in which the perilous
voyage was ever attempted.
The voyage was made in three years,
during which the little craft weathered
more than 100 gales and covered 46,000
miles. .
The skipper, who is 54 years old, has
followed the sea, since he wasia. boy.
A Protest from Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 6.——Hoke Smith,
General John B. Gordon,.Clark Howell
and Judge Dorsey have sent a telegram
to President: McKinley indignantly
protesting against the ordering Of the
Third Georgia regiment of so-called im-
munes to Santiago, where yellow fever
is raging.
The telegram states that the men are
not immune at all, and as a matter of
fact, there is no such thing as an im-
mune. .
War Vessels Will Not Be Sent Norh
Washing-ton, D. 0., Aug. 6.—Secreta-

cided 'to send no more war vessels north
until the peace negotiations are con-
eluded. Unless the terms of the treaty
should be accepted during the next ten
days or two weeks, this will necessi-
tate the postponement for the time be-
ing of the trip of the cruiser Brooklyn
to the Brooklyn navy yard.

’ ANXIETY IN LONDON. ' ’ ' "
Apprehension Expressed of a. Confllct
With Russia Over the Situation.
London, Aug. 6.-——There is great un-
easiness on all sides here in view Of the
Chinese situation, which is regarded as
bringing an open conflict between Great
Britain and Russia within measurable
distance, and it is universally felt that
the Marquis of Salisbury’s invertebracy
in yielding to Russian aggressiveness
is responsible for the dangerous com-
plication, which can only be overcome
by the most prompt: and most firm in-
timation that Russia’s open opposition
to British commercial concessions must
cease.

It is Well known that the Dowager
Empress is strenuously working to
conclude a definite understanding re-
garding Anglo-Russian interests in the
far East, and it is said great import—
ance attaches to the meeting Of the
sisters at Copenhagen.
Prices on the stock exchange yester—
day broke all around, owing -to the
scare caused ‘by the strained relations
between Great Britain and Russia. The
Paris market was also nervous for the
same reason.
It was reported on the stock exchange
during the day that the British gov-
ernment had “monopolized the'St. -Pe-

FOOD FOR SHAFTER’S MEN
Woodrnfl‘ Preparing to Purchaa
Quantities at Fresh Provisions.
New York, Aug. 6.——Colone1 Wood-
ruff, commissary Of the subsistence de-
partment for the local army depot, was
making preparations to feed the 18,000
members of General Shafter’s army,
who are soon to go into camp at Mon-
‘tauk Point. '
He already has in store a large quan-
tity of provisions like coffee, tea, sugar,
canned meats, etc., which are not re-
garded as perishable, but. in addition
to those articles he will have for the
men while in camp here as much fresh
food as possible. For that reason Colo-
nel Woodruff yesterday invited bids in
unlimited quantities on the following
articles: Fresh beef, potatoes, onions
and soft bread. He estimates that it
will require about 100.000 pounds of food
a day for the 18,000 soldiers. at?

,I‘Yade’s Expeditionltlay Not '60.
Washington, Aug. 6.-—.There is [a
strong possibility that the eighteen reg—
iments selected to go to Porto Rico in
a provisional division to be command“-
ed by General Wade, will not embark
on the expedition at all. The news
from;Porto Rico encourages the belief
that the Spanish garrisOn in the island
will be disposed of soon after General
Miles reaches the end of his march
from Ponce to San Juan. Meanwhile
theiquartermaster’s department finds;
its-elf unable to provide promptly a sur-
ficiently large number of transports for
General Wade’s expedition, and the
time when there will be no excuse for
sending more troops to Porto Rico is
approaching. ‘ '~
Adjutant General Corbin said yester-
day afternoon that the expedition of.
General Wade had been abandoned for
the present because all the transports
were needed to carry General Shatter’s
men to Montauk'Po' t. -
Another reason ex1sts for the ‘aban
don-ment of the expedition. The-admin-
istration has been accused in many
quarters of projecting the Wade expe-
dition {or political purposes, andngow-
ever groundless the charge may be, the
officers are unwilling to incur censure
unless there is necessity to do so.
A telegram has been received at the
war department from the gOVernor of.
Vermont, informing the department he
does not wish to haverthe First Ver-
mont volunteers sent‘to Porto Rico un-
less t-he regiment is needed for' the
campaign.
To Discharge Naval Reserves.
Washington, Aug. 6.—-The reduction
of the present large naval force of the
United States will begingto-day, when
the Michigan Naval Reserves manning
the United States. auxiliary cruiser Yo-
semite will be discharged from the ser-
vice. The Yosemite is at Newport
News, Va. She was formerly one of
the Morgan line steamships and will
probably be resold to that company.
Only a caretaker will be left on
board after the men are discharged.
The Naval Reserve organization will
be discharged from the service as fast
as the navy department can dispose of
the veSsels they are manning.
Four Thousand Troops to Relieve Shatter.
Savannah, Ga., Aug. 6.—Four thou-
sand troops are on their way to Sa-
vannah to embark on the transports for
Santiago to relieve the troops there.
The‘troop ships Rio Grande, Leona and
Minnewaska, which left New York yes-
terday, are expected to arrive to-mor—
row. The troops, who are all im—
munes, are the Third regiment from
Macon, Ga., and the Third and Fifth
regiments from Columbus, Miss. The
Mississippi regiments will arrive to-
day.
Chicago Plans 3 Peace Jubilee.
Chicago, Aug. 6.-—An elaborate au-
tumn carnival in Chicago has been de-
Association. President McKinley will

peace jubilees and the ceremonies at-
tending the laying of the corner stone

No Cars Running in Syracuse.
Syracuse, Aug. _6.—The 400 em‘ploycs
of the Syracuse Rapid Transit Com—
pany, including all the motormen, con-
ductors, shed aids, inspectors and
switchmen, went on a strike at noon
yesterday, completely tying up the va-
rious street railway lines controlled by~
that company, or every limit: the city

is expected to arrive at Quarantine in
New York on next Thursday. The
troops consist of cavalrymen from Gen.
Wheeler’s division.
They will be personally inspected at
. quarantine by Surgeon General Stern-
berg of the army and Surgeon General
Wyman- of the Marine Hospital serv-
ice, and will thence be taken to Mon-
tauk Point. , .,
The arrangements for bringing the
troops north are being pushed forward
the immune regim ts arrive at San—
tiago the vessels carrying them will be
as rapidly as possible, and as fast as
utilized for bringing the troops back.
The auxiliary cruisers Yale and Har-
vard, St. Louis and St. Paul, which
have been turned over to the war de-
partment, will also be used for trans-
port purposes.
Secretary Alger said that the situa-
tion was much more favorable and that
the concern felt by the administration
was in a large measure abated by the
reports received.
There are eight transports now off
Santiago, and these will be loaded at
once with troops. Thee: vessels have
accommodations for about 5,770 men.
As the total strength of Shafter’s army
is about 18,000 men, it will be seen that
more transports are needed and needed
quickly.
Vessels now at Tampa. Newport
News, New York and Porto Rico will
be dispatched to Santiago with all pos-
sible speed. It is_ expected that the
iznovement will be completed by August
0.
There are about 4,000 ill, according
to General Shafter’s latest report from
‘he front. The work of transporting
the-seupatients north in a proper man-
ner, so as to avoid a repetition of the
Seneca and Concho scandals, will not
be a very easy task and cannot be ac-
complished in a day. Suitable vessels
must be obtained and these must be
adequately supplied with medical stores
:and appliances for the care of the sick
andwounded.
The first of the immune regiments to
relieve the troops at Santiago has'al-
ready arrived and others are
to reach Cuba shortlyf '
.Rus-h orders have been sent to the
quartermaster’s department in New
York to fit out the camp at Montauk
Point with all possible speed. nprders
to send tents to the camp from all the
military stations in the East have been
dispatched. . ‘ '
The equipment of hospitals for the
care of the sick will be the greatest
work for the department. Suitable
buildings and hospital tents will be
erected at once.

Ready to Surrender.
Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 5.—The war-
ships Massachusetts and Dixie arriv-
ed zat Guantanamo bay last night and
started coaling immediately.
Commander Todd of the Wilmington
reports :._that the conditions at Manza-
nillo, a-s learned from General Rios,
are as follows:
There are about two thousand regu-
lars, one thousand volunteers and five
hundred bombardores, or firemen there.
They appear to be well supplied with
cattle and provisions, but are believed
to be short of ammunition. Recent ev-
ents in that vicinity have caused them
to become disheartened, and it is be-
lieved that the appearance of an 'Am-
erican force, even of only one thousand
men, would result in capitulation.
