The question whether if Santiago

the Porto Rico expedition until San
tiago fell, was discussed, and the
President inclined to the opinion
that the Porto Rico expedition ought
not to be delayed in such a case, but
pressed as rapidly as possible,
although General Miles and the Navy
Department both favored waiting
until Santiago was taken before 60

HOPES TO HELP RECONCENTRADos
The President, concerned about the
remnant OF the starving Cubans, will
do what he can to send relief to them
at an early day, probably as General
Miles suggests, through foreign Con-
suls stationed at the Cuban cities and
towns. To land supplies and protect
them from the Spanish with military
force elsewhere would require an
army as large as that sent to Santiago
or to be sent to Porto Rico, and would.
General Miles believes, simply invite
Spaniards and spies to live upon the
bounty of the United States.

SOME BRAVE
YOUNG HEROES.
Brush of Steam Laun=
Ches While Taking
SOundings.
HOT FIGHT WITH TROOPS
One Boat Struck Ten
Times by the Enemy's
Bullets.
THE vixen PEPPERS A DLOGKHOBSE

Off Santiago de Cuba, June II, per
the Associated Press dispatch boat
Wanda, Kingston, Jamaica, Saturday,
June 1S.-A hot brush between some
Spanish troops and a accommodating
party in steam cutters occurred at
daylight this morning in small cove
west of Moro Castle. The Massachu-
setts' steam cutter, in charge of Lieu
tenant Harlow, entered the cove to
take soundings and reconnoitre.
When well inside the inlet a detach-
ment of Spanish infantry opened fire
upon the cutter from a block house.
The fire was vigorously returned
by the marines in the Massachusetts,
boat and also by marines who were
in the New York's cutter, which was
in charge of Naval Cadet Powell, and
which had followed in. Powell is
the cadet who took the New York S
launch and followed Lieutenant Hob
son and his brave men on the Merri-
mac, up to the mouth of Santiago
harbor, and lay off there hoping that
Hobson would escape to the sea.
Young Powell is attracting consider
able attention by his bravery.
The New York's cutter was hit 10
times, and a marine in the cutter of
the Massachusetts, had the stock of
his rifle shattered, but by great good
luck no one was hit.
The Texas opened fire with her six
Founders on the hillside, and the
Vixen steamed right into the cove
and peppered the block-house with
her rapid-fire guns. Eventually the
Spaniards retreated to the woods and
the two steam cutters withdrew.
The Yankee arrived here yester-
day, and Captain Brownson reported
that on Monday last while off Glen
fuegos Spanish gunboat came out
to meet the Yankee, evidently mis-
taking her for a merchant vessel
The Spaniards, however, soon saw
her mistake, turned tail, and opened
fire, which was hotly returned by the
Yankee. The latter chased the gun
boat until the Spaniard took refuge
in the harbor, whose forts opened fire
on the American vessel.
Thereupon the Yankee engaged the
eastern and western batteries, but,
seeing no chance of catching the gun
boat, Captain Brownson returned.
During the engagement a Spanish
shell burst over the Yankee and a
falling fragment struck a landsman
named Kennedy, formerly an insur-
ance clerk in New York city, infiict-
ing a severe flesh wound on his right
shoulder. He is expected to recover.
The Spanish gunboat, chased by the
Yankee, was about 500 tons and 200
feet long. The Naval Reserves who
man the Yankee fought well.

UNITED STATES BONDS.

The War Loan is Now Being offered for
Sale.
United States bonds are recognized
as the most secure and stable form of
obligation that investors can hold.
They are attractive, not only because
of the absolute security offered. but
because there is at all times a public
market for them on which holders
can quickly sell; and they also offer
| the most desirable form of collateral
if the holder wishes to secure tenn
porary loan. The fact that United
States bonds are not subject to taxes
of any kind-Federal, State or munic-
pals valuable feature of that form
OF investment. United States bonds
are issued in both coupon and regis
tered form.
A coupon bond is payable to the
bearer. 1t may be bought and sold
without formality as freely as any
kind OF property and without en-
dorsements of any kind.
A registered bond is payable to the
owner and can only be transferred by
being properly indorsed and assigned
by the owner. The owner of the reg
istered bond who wishes to part with
1t writes his name on the back of the
bond in the presence of the officer;
the witnessing officer writes his name
in its proper place and affixes an i'm
preston of his official seal.
The war loan which is now being
offered will be sold to subscribers at
par during the period of subscription,
which ends July IA, 1898. The meth
cd of subscription has been made as
simple as possible. Blank forms may
be obtained at every money order
postoffice, and at most of the banks
and express offices, and on these forms
is clearly indicated all that is neces-
sary for the subscriber to fill out.
The subscriber may himself mail to
the Treasury Department at Wash
ington the blank form filled out, to-
gether with his remittance covering
the par value of the amount of bonds
for which he wishes to subscribe.
The remittance may be in whatever
form best suits the subscribers con-
venience-in currency, bank draft,
check, postoffice money order, or ex-
press money order.
The day the currency is received,
or the day the proceeds are received
from the checks, drafts, or money
orders, the subscription will be en-
tered and will Immediately begin
drawing interest. When the bonds
are delivered, a check will accompany
each delivery covering the interest at
per cent. from the day the subscrip-
ton is entered to the 1st of August,
the date of the bonds and from which
date the bonds will carry their own

rule the places where prisoners are
confined, where hospitals exist. and
where works of art, libraries, churches
and charitable institutions are loca-
ted, are designated by a yellow flag
and commanders direct their fire so
as to protect these points as sacred.
If Hobson is kept at Moro, either to
ensure protection for that place or to
expose him to danger, it is said to be
a breach of the rules of civi lized war
fare.

A FINE MARINE SPECTACLE.

On BOARD THE ASSOCIATED Press
DISPATCH BOAT DANDY, OFF SANTI-
AGO DE CUBA, June 90, / p. m, via
Mole st. Nicholas, Hayti, June 21.)-
The United States army for the inva-
sion 'of-~Guba, 16,e00 strong, CON-
manded by General Shafter, arrived
off Santiago de Cuba at noon to-day
The time of its disembarktion has not
yet been determined upon, but it will
probably be within the next three
days.
When the feet of transports, with
its freight of fighting men. swept up
the southern coast and slowed up
within sight of the doomed city of
Santiago, the anxiously awaited sol
diers were greeted with ringing
cheers which family echoed to the
transports from the decks of the
blockading warships far in shore.
The weeks of anxious waiting on
one side and of impatient chatting on
the other were over, and the army
and the navy had at last joined forces.
All felt that the final blow at Santi-
ago was at hand.
1t was 10 o'clock in the morning
when the lookout on board the arm
ored cruiser Brooklyn reported seeing
the smoke of several steamers to the
he announced that a dozen transports
We're in sight. Then signals were ex-
changed from ship to ship, gladden.
ing the hearts of the weary block
aders. The United States auxiliary
cruiser Gloucester, dashed away to
meet and welcome the troops.
About half an hour later a grim
forest of masts had sprung up, APP
parently from the sea, and an impress
sive scene was presented as the arm
ada swept gracefully up from the hor-
lion toward the shores where the
struggle is to take place.
The transports were arranged in
three shifting lines, with the battle
ship Indiana on the extreme right
and the other men-of-wa on the out,
skirts of the fleet. In this order the
transports and their escorts steamed
slowly in towards the hills, where
Morro's red walls cleaned in the sun
light.
1t was intended to take the entire
fleet to the lines of Admiral Samp-
sons fleet of warships, but an order
from the Admiral stopped the ad-
vance of the ships about twenty miles
to the southeast. Escorted by the
Gloucester, General Shafter went
forward on the transport Seguranca
to confer with the Admiral
The troop ships lay to on the smooth
sea while the plans were discussed by
the leaders on board the flagship. Un.
doubtedly some of the troops will be
landed at Guantanamo bay, in order
to relieve the marines there, but it is
generally believed the main body of
the men will be landed much nearer
to Santiago.
The long and trying journey from
Tampa left the men in much better
condition than had been expected.
There are fourteen mild cases of ty-
phoid fever on the hospital ship,
among the sufferers being Major Hor-
ton, of the twenty-fifth infantry.
There are also several cases of measles.
Owing to the smoothness of the trip
the soldiers were not generally affect
ed with seasickness. They are all
wildly anxious to get ashore and be-
gin fighting.

WEAK ID F|VE LOWER
Hog Run Good For Saturday
Fair Quality.
TOPS SAG TO 1885
Average Week For Hogs and
Good For Cattle.

Tbs Wichita hog market yesterday ruled
weak to cents lower, with a light line
Of receipts and only fair hogs. The usual
Saturday quiet prevailed. but not more
so than the average rule, In fact, the
receipts were larger than the previous
Saturday, while the tops and the bulk re-
manned the same. The average weight was
slightly under that Of last week Satur-
day, and practically the same as on Fri
day. There was good stiff demand from
Eli the buying elements, and good hogs
feither fat butcher stock or lights, would
have been quickly taken at the lower gen
eral market price. As IT was, all hogs
on sale were promptly bid for and the
transfer made, with sellers and buyers
alike satisfied. 1t was not unlocked for
that the run yesterday would be light, as
II has become an accepted circumstance
that the last day of the week should
be light along this line. The other prin-
cipal receiving points all experience this
same condition, In fact it is one that is
growing more all the time. At Omaha,
this day has become to be looked upon as
d semi-hohday, and little business is at
tempted as a result. On the local mar
hSl, TINS condition IS not and never has
been reasonable one and there has new
er been logical reason for it, since prices
are always as good. and the demand as
firm on this day as any other of the week
Nevertheless, it is not a theory, but a con-
dition that actually exists. The ship
ping demand IS as ready for hogs on the
closing day of the week as at any other
and the packing call has no reason to
fall off IN the least on this day and as
matter Of fact, never has. Yesterday
all the contingent were on hand clear up
10 the very last. and ready to take care
OF and sell any and all hogs arriving. 1t
was very fair Saturday on the whole,
and not a hog offered but got the same
treatment as on other days of the week
II has been a satisfactory week, on the
whole, both as to tone Of the market,
prices paid, volume Of receipts and activ-
ity. 1t has tended to show that the back
OF the summer dullness has been broken,
as the week just passed, and the two
weeks previous were very considerably
better than for several prior to that time.
More killing hogs could be used than are
arriving and most of the days this week
when the market was downward. this
market has sustained its strength better
than the big centers. Good prices are be-
ing paid, and many advantages offered
TO shippers to consign to this point.
