FREELAND, PA., JUNE 23, 1898
SUMMARY OF THE NEWS.
Inspection since last Thursday's
bombardment at Santiago shows that
the fortifications on the hills defending
the harbor were almost totally de
stroyed and that great loss of life must
have been caused. Flags at half-mast
over Morro Castle show that some
leader of importance was killed.
Fifteen hundred Cubans under Gen.
Garcia have Joined the forces of Ad
miral Sampson. Cuban Gen. Rabi has
captured the city of Acerraderos,
eight miles from Santiago, where there
are facilities for landing the siege guns
carried on Gen. Shatter's ships.
Gen. Miles says the war will be car
ried on vigorously. Expeditions will
be sent forward and an aggressive
campaign waged. Acting under his
orders Gen. Garcia is massing his
troops back of Santiago to co-operate
with the American army and navy.
There has been six days of terrific
fighting between the Spaniards and the
natives about Manila, the rebels be
ing victorious. The insurgents took
3.OUQ prisoners, among them the Gov
ernors of two provinces, one of whom
tried to kill himself.
A correspondent cables from Hong*
kong that the Philippine rebels under
Aguinaldo routed the Spaniards at Old
Cavite and pursued the regulars sent
to relieve them almost to Manila. It
is reported that 2,100 Spaniards were
killed.
Gov.-Gen. Augustl on June 13 cabled
to Madrid that the situation In Manila
was growing more desperate for Spain;
that native troops were deserting to the
Americans, and that he had been
forced to retire within the walled city.
Captain-General August! is reported
to have telegraphed to Madrid implor
ing relief, saying that the situation at
Manila is getting worse daily and that
the Spanish troops, with all their brav
ery, cannot resist hunger.
Spanish soldiers have tired of at
tacking the marines at Camp McCalla
and the latter now sfeek permission to
capture the city of Guantanamo. The
marines are reported to be in splendid
physical condition.
The Ambassadors of Austria, Russ'a
and Germany at Madrid have been di- 1
rected to strive to protect the Queen 1
Regent in the expected revolution in
Spain when we take Manila, Santiago
and Porto Rico.
Senators opposed to Hawaiian an
nexation say that enough Senators to
force an adjournment have assured
them that they will vote Co adjourn
rather than stay in session to annex
Hawaii.
A large expedition of insurgents,
commanded by three Cuban generals,
has been sent to intercept Gen. Pan
do's army, now on its way from Ha
vana to the relief of Santiago.
President McKlnley and his ad
visers are framing a tariff law for the
Philippines which is expected to be
satisfactory to Germany and other
European powers.
Ensign Pratt, of the Marblehead,
captured with a launch a sloop in
Guantanamo Hay in which were a
Spanish Captain and four sailors, be
lieved to be spies.
Cuban spies report that the Spanish
General Joral and several officers were
killed in Santiago by the explosion of
one of the Vesuvius's gun-cotton pro
jectiles.
Secretary Day and other State De
partment officials declared absurd the
story that Germany has bought or con
templates buying the Philippines from
Spain.
Gov. Black has turned over Camp
Townsend, at Peekskill, to the Federal
Government, and the regiment now re
cruiting in this city will be sent there.
Delay may be caused to the Porto
Rico expedition by the sending of the
best equipped soldiers to reinforce Gen.
Shafter, as is now proposed.
Spain is buying supplies in large
quantities In Jamaica and shipping
them to Havana byway of the Isle of
Pines and Batabano.
Aguinaldo has given notice of his
Intention to establish an independent
government by natives under Ameri
can protection. f}
President McKinley's hope of peace
is vanishing. Preparations for the in
vasion of Porto Rico with 25,000 men
are to be rushed.
Col. William J. Bryan appeared In
Omaha on a visit of inspection, and
received an ovation from the volun
teers there.
The Government from now on will
impress steamers on the Pacific coast
on; which to carry our army to Manila.

Santiago Can he Taken In a Week.
Gaircia's Camp, Acerraderos, Cuba, '
June 22, via Port Antonio, Jamaica,
June 23. —Without military escort of
any kind, Gen. Shafter, commander of
the army of invasion, with a few mem
bers of his staff, accompanied by Ad
miral Sampson and Lieut. Stanton, his
chief aide, landed from a small boat
on the shores of Cuba Tuesday.
A ragged escort of Cuban soldiers
met the famous officers on the beach. |
Gen. Garcia advanced to welcome them '
hat in hand, under a blazing Cuban
sun, so hot that it burned the eyea.
ADMIRAL SAMPSON,
Soon the three commanders were
seated under the palm-leaf roof of as
open hut examining maps of the coun
try they expect to fight over.
The moment was historic and tha
scene worthy the brush of a grea;
artist.
Gen. Garcia explained fully the plans
he had formed for the landing and dis
position of troops and the attack upon
Santiago. He was listened to eagerly
by the American commanders, wlio
seemed struck by the apparent feasi
bility of the movements projected, and
questioned him closely as to details.
Gen. Ludlow, of the Engineers, was
impressed particularly.
Gen. Shafter approved Garcia's
plans, with a few modifications.
Admiral Sampson differed in opinion
on some points, but was outvoted by
the two Generals, and accepted the re
sult placidly. Shafter places great re
liance upon the old Cuban's knowledge
of the country and of the Spanish
plans of campaign.
They believe that Santiago can ba
taken in a week.
The hut where the commanders were
in conference is open at both ends, and
all that took place was In full view oi
the curious crowd.
MAJOR GENERAr. SHAFTER.
There were some strange contrasts.
Col. As tor, of Gen. Sh after's staff, was
crowded by a black giant with only a
leather belt to cover his magnificent
naked shoulders. Gen. Ludlow, of the
engineers, Gen. Costeilo, Lieut. Wiley,
Admiral Sampson and Count von
Gootza, the German military attache,
were clad In spotless white. A Cuban
officer in a brown linen blouse and
with bare feet chatted with them,
while John Let* the British attache,
stood booted and spurred, with field
glasses and helmet.

Key West. Fla., June 23.—The light !
house tender Maple, now used as a na
val dispatch boat, has just returned
from Watson's blockade line off Hav
ana with two Cuba)' couriers aboard
and un interesting report of her recent
attempt to treat with Blanco.
One of the couriers brings important
dispatches from Gen. Maximo Gomez,
at the headquarters of the Cuban ar
my, to high army and naval officials
here and at Washington; also private
correspondence from Gomez to Gen.
Lee and the Cuban Junta at Jackson
ville.
The Maple is the dispatch boat which
recently went into Havana harbor, un
der a flag of truce to treat with Blanco
in reference to the exchange of Hob
son and his party.
The vessel, after some delay, was
met under Morro's guns by the little
Spanish gunboat Yanez Pinzon, which,
after several trips to and from shore,
finally brought Blanco's answer that
the exchange must be made through
the British Embassy at Madrid. He
could take no steps unless specially
authorized by the Spanish ministry.
Dewey'* Ship to Onlt. llong Kong.
Hong Kong, Wednesday.—Difficulties
are being raised by the Hong Kong
officials in regard to supplies for the
American fleet. Mr. Hiller, Commis
sioner of the Chinese customs, on be
half of the Chinese government, has
ordered the Zaflro t:> leave Chinese wa
fers.
o Despatches are being hurried
aboard by Consul Wildman, and the
Zaflro will leave in a couple of hours.

Cadet l'owell Remembered.
Washington, June 23.—"We do not
intend to forget the launch," said Capt.
Crownlnshleld, Chief of the Bureau of
Navigation, when his attention was
called to the conduct of Joseph Wright
Powell of Oswego, N. Y., a naval cadet
on the cruiser New York, who took a
small steam launch close to the en
trance of Santiago harbor on the night
of Hobson's heroic exploit, in the hope
of affording assistance to the Merri
mac's crew. That the launch has not
been forgotten will be apparent in a
few days, when Cadet Powell will bo
nominated to the Senate as an ensign
and for advancement three numbers
In that grade. The young mun would
not in the ordinary course of events
have received a commission for an
other year.
Army Corps for Manila.
Washington, June 23—Tho military
force which will be finally concentrated
In the Philippines will be eventually
formed Into an army corps. It has
been decided to assign Gen. Elwell S.
Otis to the command of this corps, with
Gen. Merritt commanding the so-called
Department of the Pacific and acting
as Military Governor of Manila. In
structions to this effect have ben sent
to Gen. Merritt, who, it has been sup
posed, would have direct command of
all the troops In the Philippines. The
effect of this latest order will not be
to deprive Gen. Merritt of military
power.
The Columbia Keady Again.
Brooklyn, June 20.—The cruiser Col
umbia, lately injured In a collision, had
her last coat of dark paint put on yes
terday. .She is ready to leave the
Navy Yard Just as scon as sailing or
ders are received from Washington.
. She Is now said O be in as fine shape
Sis when she went on her trial trip. It
is said that she will be sent to Ad
miral Sampson.
NO MORE CIPHER MESSAGES.
Spuniftti Counsll Object© to Them Rein};
Sent From Brittali Territory.
Kingston, Jamaica, June 23. The
cruiser Yosemite will remain in Kings
ton harbor until to-morrow morning,
having received permission to delay
her sailing for twenty-four hours for
the purpose of making repairs to ma
chinery.
The coming of the Yosemite has
raised the question of allowing de
spatches to be sent from British ter
ritory to the Naval Department at
Washington. It is understood that the
Spanish Consul protests, on the ground
that it is an infringement of neutrality.
The Colonial authorities have decided
that to allow the transmission to the
Strategy Board of any information
about war matters is a breach of the
proclamation.
| The cable companies have been or
dered to refuse to accept cipher mes
sages, and a censorship on open mes
sages from the warships will be estab
lished. This, however, will not pre
vent a vessel communicating with
headquarters. It is a well-known fact
that the American Consul in is con
stant cipher communication with the
State Department, and as such mes
sages will probably not be stopped, de
spatches can be forwarded in this man
| ner.
Tort ti go© Coaling Station.
I Washington. June 21..—The contrac
i tors who are dredging a channel at the
| Dry Tortugas coaling station are in
danger of having their contract re
; voked. They are not making the pro
gress with the work wnich the Navy
| Department officials expected. Civil
| Engineer Endicott, Chief of the Bur
eau of Yards and Docks, will make a
1 trip of inspection to Tortugas and urge
the contractors to add to the facilities
I for carrying out their contract.
The difficulty appears to be in the
character of the material to be re
moved. This is mainly of a coral na-
I ture, which is not easily handled by
i the ordinary methods of dredging. The
I department is somewhat embarrassed
, by the situation, since it renders prac
tically inaccessible to the larger ships
the coaling station at the place. It is
necessary to transfer the coal to bat
tleshlps and the big cruisers by means
of lighters and colliers. The work of
building sheds at Tortugas is progres
sing satisfactorily, and officials hope i
1 that the contractors will be able to
I complete their part of the work by the
time the construction is finished.
I.t<>©t SpanIHII War Scare.
; Paris, June 23.—The Figaro publishes i
a story received from its correspondent |
in Madrid saving that Senor Aunon, I
the Spanish Minister of Marine, went i
to sea with Admiral Camara to wit- '
ness experiments with the marvelous |
new explosive toxpyre. The project
! ile conveying this explosive is a rocket
: of greater range than any of the most
j modern guns, and its explosion will
i sink an Ironclad immediately. Even
if the projectile should fall into the
; water near an ironclad the veasel
j would be sunk. A few of these pro- 1
I jectlles would destroy a whole town.
The apparatus can be worked by three
men from the smallest of ship's boats.
Fright CiiUHfMl by Stampede of Ilorme^
Tampa, Fla., June 23.—The excite
ment caused by the horse asd mule
stampede in the camp of Gen. Carpen
ter's brigade was by far the most ex
citing event that has occurred since
the brigade arrived at Tampa. The
Baltimoreans succeeded in escaping in
| jury better than the other regiments,
i Several hair-breadth escapes are being
: recounted bv the men, only a few of
j whom were bruised. A company of
the Second New York Regiment, which
I had been left in camp while the re
| mainder of the regiment went out on
a practice march, suffered most. Two
of the men were injured seriously,
while others were more or less hurt.
Cooxt Alive W*th Spuui©h.
Reconnoitering parties from Samp
son's fleet have ascertained that the
coast for several miles east and west
iof Santiago is alive with Spanish
: troops, and the Admiral has instructed
j the transport ships carrying Shafter's
; army that they must stand off until he
: can shell the enemy out. Gen. Garcia,
! with an insurgent force, is epected to
give effective aid in securing a landing
. for the American army.
Madrid'* View© on Manila.
Madrid, June 20. —The report of the
surrender of Manila is discredited here.
It is believed that the marine infantry
at Cavite has joined the forces of Gen.
* Monet, which are supposed to be oper
! ating in the rear of the insurgents who
are besieging Manila.

Mole St. Nicholas Hayti, June 23.
The lirat use in naval warfare of sheila
containing high explosives and hurled
through the air bv pneumatic power
was made by the United States dyna
mite cruiser Vesuvius at the entrance
of Santiago harbor on Monday night.
The Vesuvius dropped three shells,
each containing 200 pounds of gun-cot
ton, on the western headland at the
entrance to Santiago. Only a terrific
convulsion of nature had ever before
produced such an effect.
There was no noise, no smoke, no
flash when the Vesuvius discharged
her guns.
Each mightily destructive missile
started on its flight in silence, and
silently arose, speeded, fell.
But as lit struck the land shook,
waves were raised as by an earth
quake, the warships outside the har
bor rocked. The report of the explo
sion was deafening, tons of rock were
hurled in air, clouds of powdered rocks
rolled up.
It struck. There must have been a
panic in Santiago. Not a shot from u
gun on all the fortifications answered.
Another shot, another thunderous re
port and—silence still.
The gunboat Gloucester, which ar
rived here to-day from Guantanamo
with despatches for the Navy Depart
ment, brought this news about the Ve
suvius. The Gloucester went to Guan
tanamo from Santiago. But this was
not all the glorious news she brought.
At daylight on Tuesday the cruiser
New Orleans silenced and partially de
stroyed a new battery to the east of
Morro Castle, Santiago. The New Or
leans went within three-quarters of a
mile of the fortifications, but the Span
ish gunners could not hit her. They
had not much time, for the New Or
leans silenced their guns in three min
utes.

Hoard of Inquiry at Tampa.
Washington, Juno 23.—The delay oi
400 carloads of food and clothing on
the railroad tracks Just out of Tampa,
which resulted in the spoiling of part
of the food, is to be investigated by a
board of inquiry of line oificers just
appointed at Tamjta with a view of
finding out just how much of the Gov
ernment's property was wasted and
what officers, if any, are responsible.
The publication of the board's report
is awaited with interest by army offi
cers here.
We lilt tlie 1 Muton.
Madrid, June 20. —The Correspon
denioa de Eepana, in is account of the
recent bombardment at Santiago, says
that many of the shots from the Amer
ican warships fell Into the bay.
One hit the torpedo boat Pluton. The
batteries were not damaged.
Several shells fell on the deck of one
of the American ships, which was two
miles distant.
Third Expedition dune 23.
San Francisco, June 20. —The army
at Camp Merritt was increased to-day
by the arrival of the Tennesseans,
1,100 strong, the biggest regiment that
has yet come to the camp. They are
tall, powerful young fellows, with
plenty of spirit and dash. As they
stepped off the Oakland ferryboat the
strains of "Dixie" greeted them. A
loud and piercing yell was the answer.
Major-Gen. Otis issued an order thi9
morning affecting the departure of reg
iments for the next expedition to the
Philippines. It has now been decided
that the third expedition shall get off
on June 23. It will include the Seventh
California, and the Minnesota, Idaho,
Wyoming, and North Dakota troops.
Tl© Monadnock Nearly Ready for Sea.
Washington, June 23 —The monitor
Monadnock, now at Maie Island, Cal.,
has been reported practically ready for
sen, and the Navy Department is mak
ing every effort to expedite the pre
paration for her departure for the
Philippine®.
The reports to the department indi
cate that very little remains to put her
in condition for her long voyage, and
it was said to-day that she would
probably leave Mare Island to-morrow
accompanied by the collier Nero.
Fights With til© Insurgents.
Madrid, June 23 —An official de
spatch from Havana says that a Span
ish force has defeated the Insurgents
under Alonzo Gonzales and Miguel,
who had concentrated between Cham
bas and the coast for the purpose of
assisting a numerous force of Ameri
cans who were trying to land near
Punta Alegre. The Insurgents fled and
the landing was frustrated.
The Spaniards, assisted by the gun
boat Her nan Cortez, routed a large in
surgent force, with heavy loss, be
tween Nuevltas and Caibarlen.
