CUBAN TROOP?
AID THE MARINES

Material Assistance to Huntington's Marines in Enabling
Them to Hold the Position on Crest Hill Cuban Gen
eral Rabbi Occupies Acerranderos, Which Is Practically
a Santiago SuburbNo Further Call for Volunteers,
No Truth in German Rumors,
Washington, June 15. Like the re- '
lief of the beleaguered nt Lueknovv
came the welcome news to the navy
depaitment this afternoon that the lit
tle band of American nun lues who had
planted the flag on Cicet hill and were
defending It night and day- against
heavy odds, vvetc not only bate, but
were etrongly reinforced by 1,500 Cu
bans from the commands of Garcia and
Rabbi, and wore now strong enough
to more than hold their own It was
disclosed In a dlsratch from Admiral
Sampson and biought much relief to
naval officials. ,
The early reports had Indicated tha"f
the marines weie surrounded and it
was feared that they might be com
pelled to return to the ship"! before
General Shatter's Invading army reach
ed there on Friday. The coming of
the Cuban forces seems to have be on in
the nick of time and naval olllclals
give the fullest credit to the timeliness
of this Cuban co-opeiation. The ad
miral's dispatch stated that the con
dition of tho marines was "entirely
satisfactory," which (insurance, al
though brief, was enough to relievo
officials here of the feats they had en
tertained. But probably the most sig
nificant feature of the admiral's die
patch was the statement that the Cu
bari general, Rabbi, had occupied
Acerranderos, only eight miles from
Santiago and Dractieally a suburb of
that Spanish stronghold. It was tha
execution of a plan arranged In Wash
ington some weeks ago when two of
the titan officers of General Gatcla
came her to confer with General Miles.
FINE MILITARY" STROKE.
At that time Garcia and Rabbi were
at Bavamo in the western part of San
tiago piovinco and more than one
hundred miles northwest of Santiago
de Cuba. Admiral Sampson's dispatch
showed that Rabbi and his force has
made a complete clicult o Santiago
de Cuba and coming up to tho bouth of
It had occupied Acerraderos. This Is
looked upon as a fine mllltaty stroke,
for Acceranderos Is the port where lion
wharves will afford facilities for un
loading the heavy artllleiy carried by
Genera, Shatter's Invading expedition.
The news also Indicated to the authori
ties' here that the Spanish sarrlton at
Santiago has piactlcally letteatco In
sldt the city proper, giving up the
outlying towns. Admiral Sampson also
says that General Garcia is co-operating
with 'he American forces. Whether

If ho has, tho Joint forces of Garcia, and
Rabbi will make 3,000 to 3,000 seasoned

force, to aid tho American troops. From
sources other thun the dispatch of
Admiral Sampson, the navy dcpait
ment has beer. Informed that five hun
dred Cubans were rendering efllclent
aid to the marines at Crest hill. Now
that Rabbi and Garcia are on the
scene, this 500 will be swelled to thou
sands. NO CALL TOR VOLUNTEERS.
Secretary Alger this afternoon de"
nled posltlcly that tho government
was considering tho advisability of
making another call for volunteer
troops. On tho contrary, tho war de
partment is now entliely occupied with
the task of completing the equipment
of tho large number of organizations
still without accoutrements and ha3
not yet even taken up In earnest the
procurement of the 73,000 men called
for In the second proclamation of the
president. All that has been done so
far under that call Is to arrange to fill
up tho regiments secured under tho
Hi st call, that arc short according to
the present standard of the service.
The special boaid headed by Major
Hopkins, that was charged with an
inspection of various points that weie
offered as good camping grounds for
the United States troops, has reported
to Secietaty Alger. The best featuies
for a laige mllltaty camp were found
at Kernandlna, Fla., and the depart
ment has already taken steps toward
the establishment of a large mllltaiy
camp at that place.
The constant reports that Gciniany
is on the eve of making a serious Issue
In tho Philippines ure unaccountable
to ofllclals here, who have the mot
dhect and positive information that
Germany has never contemplated such
a step and Is not now moving tow aid
Its execution, either alone or with other
powers. This direct information ovet
comes many circumstantial reports
coming fioin Europe, some asserting
that Germany Is exchanging secret
notes with other powers.
Theio is tho highest official author
ity for saying that all these reports
are groundless and the aie all at
tributed to a malicious purpose to em
bitter the feeling between Germany
and the United States.

slnoo Saturday, has been one of the
most notable of this congress, the pto
poscd annexation being considered of
gieat commercial and stiateglc import-
ancc bj Its advocates and being looked
upon by ltF opponents as Involving a
tadical depattuie from the long estab

to be followed by the Inauguration ot

the abandonment of the Monroe doc

strict otders not to lire unless comman

In consequence, the men awoke much
refreshed after tour days nnd nights of
continuous wotk nnd fighting.
It wits supposed the enemy had re

the south coast, the only temalnlng
source of water supply. The windmill
was shelled at Intervals ill day yester
day by the Dolphin, but the Spanlatds
were still there this moinlug
At S o'clock the enemy made an un

In for teliet the Spanlrdi guerillas crept

discharge ot the t Ifles In the tienches

The mniines then set ambled fiom their

mounted at angles In the trenches, and
the machine guns ponied a hall of bul
