Special to Kvr.N'iNd IIi:nAM.
KliiERtnn, Jamaica, Juno 22. 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

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

out. Tho sea was comparatively
smooth, for tho first time In sovcral
weeks, and tho great fleot was almost
motionless.

Administration Leader Grosvcnor Declares
That the Conflict With Spain
Is a War of Conquest.
Columbus. O., June 22. At the oppn

accept the Invllutlon to net as pre
siding nflh or. General C. II. Grosvenor,
the temporary thnlrmnn, reviewed at
length the adintnlsti atlon of President
McKinlcy, and In the course of hi
speech said:
"It will bo tho policy of tills admin
istration tn plant the tlapr or tlio Unl
tfd States at Hawaii, tn occupy It and
to rurt I fy It nnd make It a part of Him
territory t the United States, and
when the war Is over we will then set
tle the question ,,f what sort of a Kov
erntnent wo will Jiavo over there.
"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.

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.

there was a big falling oir in tho night at
