General has the fullest confidence of
the Secretary of War, being Detroit
man who for years has occupied close
personal relations to Secretary Alger.
Aside from his personal relations, Gen
eral Duffield is regarded as one of the
best equipped officers of the volunteer
service. He had a long and distin
guished service during the civil war,
going out with the Ninth Michigan in
fantry, Of which he became Adjutant.
Later he went on the staff of General
George II. Thomas in command of the
army of the Cumberland, and was with
that hero through the notable engage
ments in which he participated. His
command includes two Michigan regi-
ments, while his staff officers and aides
come to a considerable extent from
Michigan One of his staff officers is
Captain Mcmillan, son of Senator Nc
MILAN of Michigan.
General Duffield's expedition is ex-
pected to report to General Shafter in
about four days from the time the
ships leave Newport News. The men
got away from camp at 11:30 to-day.
General Duffield's command will aug
ment the forces under General Shafter
to about 10000 men. Besides these, the
present plan Of sending reinforcements
contemplateS that General GarretSonS 5
brigade of 1000 men will go as soon as
transports can be secured, which is ex-
pected to be at an early day, by the
purchase outright of the needed YES
sells.
TROOPS LEAVE CAMP ALGER.
CAMP ALGER, Virginia, June %
The first troops to leave Camp Alger
for the front started to-day. They
composed the entire Thirty third Mich
igan and one battalion of the Thirty
fourth Michigan. They We're to have
started at o'clock, but it was 11;30
before they got off for Alexandria,
whence boats will convey them to
Newport News, where they will be
placed on board the transport Yale. 1t
was at first intended to send them to
Newport News by rail. but it was dis
covered that the draught of the Yale
would prevent her touching at the
dock to receive the troops. The boats
which will convey the men from Alex
andria will be able to go directly to the
side of the Yale, and so transfer the
men.
Colonel Girard has finally adjusted
the matter of men for the hospital
service by deciding that while they
must enlist in the regular army, they
shall accompany their regiments when
they move, and be discharged at the
end of the war.

CREWS OF PRIZE SHIPS.
Those Captured Since the Declara-
ton of War to be Sent to Spain.

WASHINGTON, June 22-The At
torney General has decided to surren
der to the Emba ssadors of France and
Austria, as the diplomatic representa-
tives of Spain, the crews of the prize
merchant vessels captured by ships of
our navy since the declaration Of war.
The Department of Justice having
no means of feeding these prisoners,
turned them over to the War Depart
ment, but Secretary Alger has now de-
clined to continue the arrangement.
The representatives of Spain here were
communicated with, and their consent
secured to receive the prisoners and
ship them back to Spain. The only
thing now to be done is to secure the
names of the prisoners to be surren-
dered and telegram has been sent to
the United States Attorney having
charge of the cases to supply them at
once with a. view to their immediate
deportation at the expense of the Span
ish Government.

INVASION OF PHILIPPINES.
The Third Expedition to Consist of
Six TRANSPORTS.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Quarter-
master General Luddington of the War
Department received a telegram to-day
from Quartermaster Long at San Fran
cisco, saying that the third military
expedition for the Philippines will leave
San Francisco on Monday next on
six transports, namely, the Ohio, In
diana, City of Para, Morgan City,
Valencia and Newport. He added that
General Merritt, commanding the new
Department of the Pacific, and pros
pective Governor General of the Philip
pine Islands, probably will accompany
on the Indiana. Major General Otis,
the next in command, will accompany
the fourth expedition to the Philippines.
Quartermaster Long says also that
the City of Puebla probably will be
turned over to the Government to-mor-
row morning, but will hardly be ready
to sail with the other vessels on Mon
day. Her departure will not be de-
layed more than day or two. Z.

SITUATION AT SANTIAGO.
Re0rts That There is a Failure Of
Provisions Inaccurate.

MADRID, June 22-6 p. m.-The
Governor of Santiago de Cuba has
cabled the Government as follows:
Yesterday morning an American
transport carrying troops took a south
easterly direction. But twenty war;
ships remain before Santiago de Cuba"
This leads to the supposition that the
Americans are threatening to make a
landing between Guantanamo and
Raiquiri.
Reports that there is a failure of
provisions at Santiago de Cuba are in
accurate. Wheat is exhausted but
maize is abundant.
In the Senate to-day a proposal for
the free cultivation of tobacco in Spain
has been under consideration, the chief
argument in it's favor being that Spain
imports tobacco largely from the
United States.
In the Chamber Of Deputies the policy
of the Government in the Philippines
has been under discussion. Senior
Canalajes denounced the Government
for trying to shield itself from respon-
sibility for the present situation by
closing the Cortes.

Cubans have brought information to
Admiral Sampson that Admiral Ger
vera is prepared to make a desperate
effort to take his ships out of Santiago
Harbor at the first favorable oppor-
tunity.
The Spanish warships, it is reported,
have been coaled to their full capacity
and the crews are refused shore leave.
Every night the vessels drop down the
bay to be prepared for this favorable
opportunity to attempt a dash past the
blockading squadron. 1t is said to be
the Spanish AdmiraPs hope to save at
least portion of his ships from cap
ture, and in fight to sink some of the

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The for
warding of reinforcements to General
Shafter at Santiago de Cuba has begun
and at o'clock this morning the first
body of troops left Camp Alger for
Newport News, there to take transports
for Cuba. This was in accordance with
orders issued by Major General Miles

General Graham. commanding the Sec
ond Army Corps, camped at Falls
Church, and is as follows:

Major General Commanding"
This first movement is confined to one
regiment and one battalion. as it was
necessary to divide General Duffield's
command, in order to meet the accom-
modatiOn of the transports Harvard
and Yale, the facilities of one being
considerably greater than the other.
The Thirty-third Michigan and one
battalion of the Thirty-fourth Michi-
gan were selected to go first, compris-
ing 1850 men and 53 officers 1t is
expected that they will board the Har-
ward. The remaining regiments and
battalions Of General Dhffield's COM
mand will cave on Saturday next, tax
ing the Yale. The entire expedition will
then proceed under ommand Of General

CAPTAIN GENERAL BLANCo.
No Truth in the Report of an At
tempt to Assassinate Him.

HAVANA, June 22.--(4 p. m.)-(Copy-
rlghfed, 1898, by the Associated Press. }
There is absolutely no foundation for
the report published in the United
states OF an attempt to assassinate
Captain General Blanco by a member
of the volunteers, whose brother, it was
alleged, had been shot for completely in
plot against the Government
General Blanco enjoys the esteem of
all classes in Hayana, including the
volunteers, and is regarded with the
utmost confidence as the representative
of Spanish sovereignty. The Cubans
admit that they are under obligations
TO General Blanco for the establish
ment of autonomy in the island. The
palace guards are from the volunteers
and several officers of that body are
aides on the Generals staff General
Blanco's appearances are frequently
the occasions of patriotic demonstra-
tiOns, and that he has no fear of assas-
sination is shown by the fact that he
often rides out without an escort, visit
ing the fortifications about Havana
without a body guard.
Coanplete tranquility reigns in Ha-
vana- The greatest confidence is felt
that the Spanish forces will successfully
cope With the Americans which We're
yesterday reported to have arrived off
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba There
is great enthusiasm among the troops
and volunteers, who are anxious to
fight against the invaders.
Captain General Blanco denies that
he has decided that there shall be no
exchange of prisoners with the United
States. At the same time the CAPTAIN
General says he cannot allow the same
time the Captain General says he cam
not allC y the exchange of Lieutenant
Hobson and the other members of the
party who sailed the Merrimac into
the mouth of the harbor at Santiago
de Cuba, for the reason that the Lieu
tenant and his companions had oppor-
tunities for seeing the harbor and its
defenseS. The most common prudence
the Captain General says, would for
bid that these men be now given their
liberty, as proposed by the United
States.
Captain General Blanco added that
he had net forbidden the approach of
vessels bearing flags of truce, but had
only ordered that no vessel be permit
ted to approach within six miles of the
shore, SO that it be made impoSSi BILE
for officers of the United States to
make drawings of or inspect fortresses.
