GENERAL MTDES' ARRIT1L. He Was Visited by sampson and Landed
 TmmedtateIy,

Off Santiago de Cuba, July II, D. m, via Kingston, Jamaica, July 12, noon.- The United States auxiliary cruiser Yale arrived off this port at D. m to- day from Charleston, g. C., with Major General Miles and his staff, an addi- tionaI hospital corps and Companies A to M of the Sixth Illinois and the Sixth Massachusetts, numbering 1O3 men each. Shortly after the arrival of the Yale Rear Admiral Sampson and Cap- tain Chadwick paid visit to General Miles, staying fifteen minutes on board the auxiliary cruiser. Then the Yale proceeded to Siboney. Half an hour later the cruiser Columbia arrived with more men of the Sixth Illinois. Both the Yale and Columbia reported all well on board. Immediately after his arri- val General Miles and his personal staff landed in the cutter of the Yale. Gen eral Miles declined to receive newspaper men on board the steamer.

Their Disposition Regarding American
 Ships Coaling in the Harbor.

Washington, July 12.-Before the war began our government accumulated a stock of coal at St, Thomas, West h. dies, most of it was ashore, but 1000 tons was on a schooner lying in the harbor. Twice since the war broke out the United States has taken of this coal once to supply the Minneapolis and once the Montgomery, but as each was bound for the nearest home port and took only enough coal to carry her there it was fairly assumed there had been no breach of neutrality. How ever, it appears that there is now a disposition exhibited by the Danish authorities to prevent the United States ships from using this coal and as there is no question of their right to lay down such rule, the coal itself probably will be let alone. Fortunate ly there Is no particular need for it., as there are other means of coaling a fleet in use.

FORK OF THE FLEET.
Tine Brooklyn Opened Bombardment
 With Her S-Inch Gums.

Off Aguadores, July Il, ? p. m., via Kingston, Jamaica, July 12, 2:1O p. m.- The United States navy had the fol- lowing problem presented to it-What is the best manenr of effectively bonn barding city distant four and half miles and concealed from view by a range of hills 25O feet high at it's low est part? The problem has been satis- factorily solved. So, if the army here- after never fires a shot and merely guards the roads, the navy could make Santiago untenable, if indeed it did not totally destroy it ill a few days.
 Sunday and to-day the sea was calm or than usual, so the opportunity for good practice was afforded. In pur- suance of General Shafter's request, Commodore Schley, Rear Admiral sampson being absent at Guantanamo, at 3 o'clock on Sunday afternoon rang ed the Brooklyn, Indiana and Texas within 800 yards of the shore, at a

WATCHED THE BoMBARDMENr.
Land Forces Could Hear the Thunder of
 the Ships' Guns.

Tn camp, near Santiago de Cuba, Monday, July il, via Port Antonio and Kingston, July 12.-3:2O p. m.-The land forces watch with interest the bombardment of the fleet. About o'clock the thunder of guns was heard to the seaward, and @ dense cloud of smoke, rising over the ridge to the south, showed that the navy was at work. Many shells from the ships burst in the northeast part of the city, which it is difficult to see from the American lines. It is impossible to say what effect they had. Several burst in the center of the town with very great effect. One she'll of whose action a. good view was had, burst in a small street. When the smoke cleared it seemed as if the entire street had been blown out of existence. A large hole was torn in the ground any many buildings were demolished If hun dred other shells could be landed with similar effect they would destroy San tiago. The warships fired only for a short time.

REPORTS TO SURGEON GENERA1
Show the Splendid Results of Antiseptic
 Treatment of Wounds.

Washington, July 12.-Surgeon Gen eral Van Reypen of the navy has re- ceived report from the surgeons with the fleet showing that in the many cases of wounded, some of them seri- ous, not a rise of temperature or an accumulation of pus has appeared in any case. From a medical standpoint this is said to be a marked advance from the conditions during the civil war, and it is attributed to the intro- duction of antiseptic treatment of the wounds. It shows thatno fever follows the wounds and that with the absence of pus the wounds heal rapidly without complications Considering the great number of wounds to be treated now and herever, this is regarded as a most satisfactory showing, not only in med- ical science, but also in the alleviating of suffering

SPANISH "GALLERYp PLAYS.
A Group of Officers Ina Bright Uniforms
 Make a Display.

In camp near Santiago, July 12.-Two ridiculous gallery plays were made by Spanish officers last night which excited amusement in the American lines. Late in the evening loud talking was heard from the first line of the Spanish entrenchments. An interpre- tor was called and soon came back and reported that a Spanish officer was addressing his men urging them to stand fast for the honor of Spain as the morrow would be the last day of fight ing, for the American army would be wiped out the first thing in the morn ing. The American sharpshooters ruth lessly fired in the direction of the Spanish line and the hero who was go- ing to wipe out the American army made a quick dive for the trenches, from which no Spanish heroes have yet emerged. Late yesterday afternoon be- fore the flag of truce came down a group of Spanish officers galloped along the lines in bright uniform, carrying Spanish flags, and charged near the end of our line, back and forth, in front of the flag of truce to make an elaborate display. Finally they dashed into the town, out of danger and then hoisted the white flag.

point almost due south of the city of Santiago, distant a little over four and half miles. The ships were about half mile apart. The Brooklyn op- ened fire with her eight-inch guns, these being the heaviest calibre used as yet by many of the ships. The army signal men were on the beach opposite the ships and also on the crest of hill overlooking both the ships and the city. These men watched the results ot these shots and signalled the gunners.
 Sundays practice was good, but it was better to-day, when the firing was opened by the New York, which re- turned from Guantanamo bay during the night. The New York, Brooklyn and Indiana were the ships which par
 ticipated in the shelling this morning.
 Each shot was carefully calculated.
 The ships ran out their big guns on
 the side opposite the firing in order to
 secured the desired list to port or to
 starboard. General Shafter signalled
 at about noon that some of the shells
 tell in the bay and some in the city
 The latter do not appear to do great
 damage" Comment on this subject was
 changed immediately by a message
 saying: "The last shot struck St. Nicholas church, where powder was stored, blowing up the same and doing
 great damage"
 The bombardment closed for the day
 at p. m. at General Shafter's request,
 as he was about to send flag of truce into the city in order to demand it's sur
 render for the third and last time. The ySrhp1a in the extreme. The ordinary avocations
 on shipboard went on, punctuated with intervals of five minutes by the roar of the big guns, the scream of projec- tiles and the echoes from the moun- tains in the rear of Morro Castle, plain ly visible to the westward and having
 the bombarding ships well in range
 But not a gun was fired by the Span iards. The effect of the shells when
 they did hit can easily be imagined when it is known that each of them
 carries 250 pounds of explosives and is travelling 925 feet per second. When such a missile lands at a distance of four and half miles from the muzzle to the city it occupies 22A seconds ir it's flight. Four shells during the bom-
 bardment to-day ignited fires in differ ent parts of the city proving the fea- sibility of burning the place by using the guns of the fleet alone. It was strange to see our soldiers repairing 3 locomotive on the railroad track run
 ming along the beach, while, like the | strokes of a slow clock, the guns were fired and sent shells screaming over the | men at work. Death must have come 1 to many in the city by reason of the shelling, but it is impossible to do more
 now than surmise as to the extent o1 the mortality.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING O.
THE SPANISH PRISONERS.
Some of the Petty Officers Selling Span
 tsh Coins as Souvenirs.

Portsmouth, N. H., July 12.-A large force of carpenters commenced worth this afternoon on the large buildings for the officers and also a messroom. Officer S. B. Fletcher and his men un- der the direction of Admiral Carpenter, are carrying out the orders of the de- partment, and when the 800 additional prisoners arrive they will find quarters in readiness for them. The prisoners of war will receive the best of treat men while confined here and 1t S ex- pected that they wll be so well pleased that they will not care to return to their native country. There are num- Der of intelligent men among the pris- oners, and they do not hesitate to say that they expected capture in the es- capade at Santiago. Some of the petty officers in confinement are doing a rushing business in selling Spanish coins as souvenirs to visitors who are fortunate enough to be allowed to land on the island.
 Colonel John Ferney, United States marine corps, commandant of the ma- rines in charge of the prisoners, has named the camp on Seavey's Island Camp Long" in honor of the secretary of the navy. At 2:30 this afternoon Paymaster Loomis, U. s. N, commence ed the work of issuing the regular United States uniforms to the Spanish prisoners. The result of the afternoon s distribution was that 150 men were equipped with the regulation hats and were it not for the difference of feat ures, they would easily be mistaken for Uncle Sam's own tackles. The men were seated in a long row and each in turn receiy ed his new outfit. The pris- oners are behaving finely and the off, cers do hot have the slightest fear of any de .nonstration. Admiral Cervera was q the deck of the St. Louis this afternoon as usual and apparently in good health. The St. Louis is expected to sail tomorrow for New York.

AFTER SPANISH PRTV.ATEER.
The British Cruiser Amphion and SloOp
 of War Incarus Dispatched.

Victoria, B. C., July 12.-In response to the request of the United States Consul Deadly of Vancouver, Admiral Paliser, commander of the Pacific Brit ish squadron stationed at Esquimalt, has dispatched H. M. s. Amphion, a second class cruiser carrying nine guns, and the sloop of war Incarus, mount ing eight guns, on cruise in the waters of the north to search for the alleged Spanish prlvateer, which ac- cording to reports that have reached the ears of the consul, lies hidden in the vicinity of Dixon entrance, the passage for south bound treasure ships. The existence of such a priva- teer, however, is regarded as very doubtful, as no reliable reports regard ing it have been received.

JAPANESE CRUISER K4SAGI.
Under UnfnvOrable Conditions the Re-
 Huired Speed Is Exceeded.

Portsmouth, N. H., July 12.-With a mast and Japanese flag flying from her stern, the Japanese cruiser Kasagi sailed into Portsmouth harbor this af- ternoon after having made a speed av- craze of 22s4 knots an hour, quarter of a knot above the contract require ment, for distance of forty miles. The trial was made under conditions not the best, which tended to show the vessels performance in stronger light The Kasagi left her anchorage off this place at o'clock this afternoon, and an hour later was on the course which ran twenty miles to the northward and eastward from Boone Island to Cape Perse and return. Before the trial had gotten under way Edwin s. Cramp, who was in charge of the trial, noted the rough condition of the water, but so sanguine was he that the Kasagi could easily make the required 221a knots that he never for moment considered the advisability of a postponement.
 Another drawback was that a strong tide set in almost at right angles to the course. The United States government allows for these tide conditions, but as the Kasagi had such good margin above the required speed no attention was paid to this disadvantage. The speed on the first leg of the course was 23 knots and on the return an average of 221a knots was made, making an average speed for the entire run of g. 75 knots. The course was marked with buoys placed at five miles apart. The most striking result of the trial was the uniform improvement in the work ing of the machinery. The revolutions rose steadily and absolutely nothing went amiss.
 The design of the screw of the Kasagi seems perfect, and slip of only about 15 per cent. was shown when making 8 speed of 23 knots. The Kasagi is the heaviest armored cruiser of her class in the world. She will carry two six inch breech-loading rifles and ten AT rapid-tire guns. The cruiser Columbia, which is half again as large as the Ka- | sagi, only carries two eight-inch and eight four-inch guns.

AGAINST YELLOW FEVER.
Its Presence Results in Strict Quaran-
 tine at Camp McCaIla.

tine at Camp McCalla.
 [Copyright, 1898, The Associated Press
 Playa del Este, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, July 12.-The known presence of yellow fever at Caimanera, Guantana- mo, and other towns in the vicinity of Camp McCalla and along the coast has resulted in the strictest quarantine here. The rules will also be rigidly en- forced at Camp McCalla, although the general health of the American ma rines is remarkably good. The Span iards in and around Caimanera have been showing great activity during the last two or three days and their forces there have been, apparently, increased from Guantanamo. The boldness of the American launches in venturing up beyond the fort and the presence of a large number of warships in the lower bay, have evidently led the Spaniards to believe that an attack is planned at that point.

CAPTURE OF SLOOP WARY
4 BRITISH VESSEL 4 W0ULD-RE
 BLOCKADE RUNNER.
She Is n Twenty-two Ton Vessel and is Loaded With Provisions-Her British Flag at First Suspected to be Q Subter- fuGe, But Later 1t Is Learned That Her Patent is Bonafide.

Key West, Fla, July 12.-The Brit 1sh sloop Wary, a would-be- blockade runner, was captured on the second by the auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, and ar rived here to-day under a prize orew. consisting of Port Officer F. J. Albrecht and two men. The Wary Is a 22-ton vessel and was loaded with provisions of a miscellaneous character, Including flour, rice, cheese, lard, potatoes and beer The Wary, under Captain Jere- miah Moss and three men, all Jamaica. negroes, was bound from Kingston for Cape Cruz. It was first suspected that her British flag was a subterfuge 4to enable her to pass the blockade, but later it developed that her patent, dated April 10, 1897, was bona fide and that she was boldly attempting, in the face of all risks, to land her cargo for the starving Spaniards in Cuba. Her char ter was made out between Captain Moss and Vessels Brothers and Won Goutard of Kingston, Jamaica.
 When sighted by the St. Louis the sloop was becalmed and Captain Moss, who was unfamiliar with the water thereabouts, was expecting a pilot to take him in. The St. Louis sent four or five shots from her six-pounders, but as the sloop showed no indication of surrendering the gig was lowered and half a dozen men pulled toward her, peppering her sails with shot from their small arms. Captain Moss said he thought all this was done in sport. but when he found himself prisoner of war he became badly frightened and spent the whole time between capture and arrival here in praying and weep ing.
 Another schooner, the Wickerson, was captured by one of the converted yachts at about the same place before the Wary was taken. She was owned by two German merchants, who were aboard and who protested so vigorously that the prize was taken over to San- tiago for formal report to Admiral Sampson. She was bound from Jamai- ca to Manzanillo. The prize crew of the Wary say that many ships are loading on the coast of Jamaica and getting cargoes of provisions samely in- to Cuba by southern ports

THE REBELLION IN CHINA.

Reports from Wee-Chau-Fu Say It is
 Assuming Serious Proportions.
 London, July 13.-According to dis patch to the Times from Wu-C -Chau- Flu. the rebellion in that district of China is assuming serious proportions. The cit- ies of Yung-Spien, Pi-Lien and Hu- Chuan have fallen. The Triad society is concerned in the movement. Troops are being forwarded to the scene of the disturbance. A dispatch from Shanghai says, "The leaders of the re- bellion in the western region have just returned. They report victories every- where.''
