A dis patch boat from the Hoot off Santiago de Cuba brliiRB the following story re garding the arrival of Slinftor's troopa: As soon as tlio fleet of transport!! had arrived nt a point about 20 miles off Santiago, Monday afternoon, tho steamer Seguranca, having on board General Sliafter and his staff, left tho other vessels lying to and steamed to tho flagship of tho American fleet In order to visit near Admiral Sampson. Tho general went on board the flag ship and the Soguranca then wont to Acerradcros, about 17 miles west of Santiago, and near which place Gen eral Garcia Is encamped with 3,000 Cuban soldiers. General Shatter and his staff and Rear Admiral Sampson vent ashore and proceeded to General Garcia's headquarters, about a milo Inland, whore they spent several hours in consultation with tho Cuban gen eral. General Gaicla and tho other Cubnn officers gave General Shutter and Ad miral Sampson a hearty welcome. The Cubans showered upon their distin guished visitors all the blessings of Cuba llbro for tho assistance of tho United States in tho Cuban struggle for freedom , and they expressed tho conviction that victory was at hand, and that the power of Spain would soon bo driven fiom tho Island by tho combined strength of American ami Cuban arms. When the first curl of black smoke appeared on tho distant horizon and announced tho coming of the long ex pected soldiers Geneial Garcia himself, with tho officora of his stall mound him, stood on u hlllsldo overlooking the sea and gavo forth expressions of Joy as they watched the approach of tho vessels. Tho welcomo news soon spread among his half fed, half clothed tioops, and great shouts arose from the dark skinned veterans, who havo spent threo years in fighting tho war of liberty. They watched tho Seguranca, accompanied by tho auxiliary gunboat Gloucester, draw away frdm tho othor vessels and ninko her course to tho flagship. Aii or s'i. had taken Admiral Sampson aboard tluy saw her heading for shoro near their mountain camp. Tho Cubans sont a guard of honor to the beach to receive the Soguranca. As soon as she came to anchor In tho covo General Shatter and his staff, in cluding General Ludlow, chief of en gineers, and Admiral Sampson, ac companied by a guard of soldlors, wont ashoro In small boats. They wero re ceived by the Cubans with nil mill' tary honors, and horses woro placed at the disposal of General Shutter and Admiral Sampson to ride up tho steep trail to General Garcia's headquarters. Tho Cuban commander's tent is a rudo hut covered with leaves, nnd con taining only a meager camp outfit. Iloro the consultation was hold. Gen eral Garcia explained his plans fully; told how ho had tho Spanish goneral, Pando, cooped up at Manzanlllo, with out tho possibility of his bolng abl'o to co-oporato with tho Spanish troops; In Santiago, and laid before tho Amor lean officers maps suowlng all tho mountain trails leading to Santiairo BELIEVED SAGASTA WILL RESIGN. Spt-clal to KvpiiIiir Ilt nild, Madrid, Juno 22. Thoro aro impending changes in tho government, and It is bellovcd it will result In tho retirement of Premier Sagasta, Tlio Cataloulan peace movemont is receiving much attention. A strong aitlelo in the leading conservative paper demands peace as soon as possible Tlio paper declarca that pcaco is ncccss'iry and that it la urgent that It bo established, livery day it is de layed tlio prlco at which It can bo obtained will bo raised. It adds that tho liiovitahlo result of war betweon a power of unbounded resources llko tlio United States- and Spain may bo calculated with somcthlug llko mathematical accuracy. "Thoso who crcato foolish Illusions on tho subject by flattering tho patriotic vanity of tho Spanish people deserve severe condemna tion," loutiuues tho article. "Even If all tlio existing American squadrons wero de stroyed in naval engagements or by a mira culous cyclone, tho Spanish government ought to duiuiuid pcaco at apy price." from the moat convenient landing places cast and west of tho harbor en trance. General Garcia gave tho Americans nssurnwps that they need have no fear of contracting diseases on the south eastern coast of Culm, as tho climate there 1" not unhealthy, only oxtremely hot at this season of the year. Tho Cuban general declared that his own troops, ill fed and clothed as they were, were In good health, and therefore the Americans need not fear fevers or othor serious ailments. General Shnfter examined tho con dition of tho Cuban soldiers during his visit, nnd was impressed with their hnrdy and soldierly appearance, though ho recognized the fact that they need clothes and provisions, both of which wero given them. At tho conclusion of tho conference General Shnfter and the othor officers had little or nothing to say regarding tho plans for lauding the American troops or for tho co-oporntlon of tho Cubans. Tho best information ob tainable is that thoro will bo no at tempt to mnko a general landing for two or three days, but small bodies of tioops will bo put ashoro at several points, both east nnd west of Santi ago, Including Acerradcros. This will glvo General Shatter an opportunity to become metro fr miliar with tho work before him nn.' to ascertain tho best placo for a general landing. Tho Interview closed with tho under standing on tho part of both general thnt small 'bodies of troops are to bo landed at onco nt several points along the coast, where they will be safo from any serious attack by tho Spaniards, and will b3 ablo to keop tho enomy In doubt, for the present, as to their ultlmato Intentions. Among tho troops that will bo landed first are a number of men from tho engineer corps, who will begin work at onco preparing for tho movement of tho main body. It was nearly dark before tho offi cers returned to the Seguranca, and then she steamed back to tho flagship and took up a position for tho night. Before nightfall all tho othor trans ports and the convoying warships had drifted nearer to shore, and the Span ish soldiers, watching from tho bluffs on both sides of tho entrance of San tlago harbor, must havo been impress ed by tho great array of vessels stand Ing off shore. There were nearly CO of them, including the troop ships and the men-of-war comprising Hear Ad miral Sampson's fleet and tho squad ron of Commodore Schloy. Tho 8,000 Spanish soldlors and per haps 2,000 sailors guarding the city and harbor of Santiago do Cuba doubt less concluded that thoro was but a small chance of overcoming tho forco of Amorican wnrshlps and some 20,000 American soldlors and sailors which will bo hurled against thorn before tho present week Is over. Tho dispatch boat loft tho fleot for the cable station Just at nightfall, when the warships had their positions In n semi-circle In front of the harbor en trance, with the troop ships furthor out. Tho sea was comparatively smooth, for tho first time In sovcral weeks, and tho great fleot was almost motionless. GERMANY PROPOSES TO AID SPAIN. Hpeclnl to KvENiNO Hkiialu. Loudon, Juno 22.

"It is not Important to settle the status of the Philippine Islands now. It Is not Important to settle the char acter of the government, the stable government which we promise to Cuba, It Is not proper and Just now to settle tho status of Porto Hloo. I make no prognostication except this. I doubt very much whether you and I will live to see the tiny when, by order of a Uepubllcnn administration, and surely not by the order of Sti Klnley's admin istration, the slurry banner of your country's glory shall be pulled down from any flagstaff where conquest of armw has plat ed It." The "national administration men" have abMilulr control of the conven tion, the "state adinlnsltration men ' being defeated at every point. Gov ernor Ilushnell occupied a back seat on the plntform yesterday, and many of the strongest Ilanna men object to any resolutions regarding his administration. FORMING ANOTHER FLYING SQUADRON.

Absolutely Puro 5lOYj maw POWDER DECISION Ojl A jNWSAflGE Justice Tnomey Gives Judgments In r-avor of the Uorouffli. THERE ARE A BATCH OF CASES! Tho Suits Will Probably be Settled Upon an Abatement of the Source of Trouble and Payment of Costn-A Cas of School Truanoy. In accordance with the announcement made when the trials wero concluded, Justice Toomcy rendored his decision tn tho ease of Chief Burgess Tabor and Health Officer Conry, in the name of tho borough, against twonty-olglit property ownors of the Fifth ward for maintaining, or contributing to a public nuisance. Tlio docision was in favor of the borough for tho borough flno of two dollars and costs against each of the defendants. Tho corts.iu tlio aggregate, amount to $03.24 and tho fines $50 moro. The ultimate outcotuo of tho matter is stilla matter of conjecture, but as It is understood that the defendants in the suits are making arrangements to abate the nuisance complained of and that was the solo object of tho proiccutiou, It is likely that on tho abatement of the ntiisftneo tlio borough will remit the flueB and leave only the question of costs to bo settled. In fact this appears to bo tho understanding of all concerned, as tlio Ilorough Council issued instructions at its last meeting that the street commltteo shall not grant a permit lor sowonigo to the defendants until tho costs in tlio cases aro provided for. Another suit pending in which tho public at largo is interested is that of John ileig, who was prosecuted by Truaut Officer James Smith. It appears that Iierg has a stop-son who has given the school authorities much trouble and annoyance by persistent truancy and incorrigibility, llcrg was repeatedly ap pealed to, but said lie could do nothing in fie matter, and finally it was decided to compel linn to act in complianco with tho law. Truant Officer Smith prosccutod Ilerg lioforo Justice Toomoy and a fine and tlio costs wero imposed upon bin) for uot hav ing tho boy in attendance at school. Iiorg has taken tho matter into court and tho case will probably bo tried this week. Tho result will bo awaited with iutetest. Tlio School Hoard hopes that tho judgment ohtainod will bo confirmed, as it will go far in assisting it In enforcing tho law in othor cases. At KepcliiiiHM'rt Amnio Cafe.
