A MAN OF DEEDS.
Shafter Is Wasting No Time On Off
cial Reports.

Washington, June A.-No official news
came to the war department during office
hours from our army near Santiago.
This was cause for mild surprise at
the department, as General Shafter has a
cable at his command and it was expected
he would report the measure of success
he has attained in the debaTkation Of his
army on Cuban soil, and the beginning
OF operations against Santiago. However,
the general has the reputation here as be-
ing man of deeds rather than words.
and of not being given to over many Off
cial reports. Not hearing from him, the
officials were obliged to rely upon press
reports entirely for information. They
found these highly satisfactory. Secre-

London, June 25.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
When the cortes closed, martial law
was proclaimed. The Sagasta cabinet
will resign and make way for a new
government, which will open negotia-
lions for peace.
The Madrid correspondent of the FL
nancial News publishes this morning a
report of an interview with an eX-mem-
Der of the ministry, practically verify
ing the Daily Telegraphs Madrid dis
patch, and adding:
"Senor Gamazo will be the new pre-
mier, with Senior Salvador at the ex-
chequer, and possibly two Silvelaists
will join this cabinet, which will con-
clude peace and prepare the way fol
a Silvela cabinet. There is no doubt
that Spain will lose all her colonies.
Admiral Camara's squadron left
Cadiz to calm public opinion. Camara
well knows that before he arrives at the
Philippines peace will be made.
All the special dispatches from Ma
drid reflect the anxiety produced by
Admiral Cervera'S dispatches and the
threatening aspect of the political stu
alton.
There is no doubt the Spaniards are
sadly disappointed at the ease with
which General Shafter effected a land
ing, and at the retreat towards Santi-
ago de Cuba, which is regarded as a
bad omen. The newspapers are lrri-
tated at the prospects that restrictions
will be placed upon their criticisms now
the cortes is closed.
The Madrid correspondent Of the
Standard, commenting upon the scenes
in the coTtes, says:
Everybody observed the silence OF
Carlist senators and the deputies dur
ing the stormy sittings yesterday CFri-
day.. Their leaders, it appears, had in
structions to abstain, as the expecta-
lions of Don Carlos lie more in the di-
rection of coming events than in par
liamentary squabbles.
The declaration of Marshal MARTINEZ
de CamDOs caused a sensation. His
attitude exasperated alike Republicans,
Carlists and Weylerists.

CORTES SUSPENDED


The cabinet met today under the oresi-
dency of the queen regent. Premier Sa-
gasta briefly explained the situation at
home and abroad. No further news was
received from the Philippines or from the
island of Cuba.
The queen regent signed a decree sus-
pending the cortes. which will be read
at the session of the corteS this evening"
General Corree. the minister of war,
said that active operations would be COM
menced against the American troops en-
trenched at Santiago de Cuba.
The republicans are expected 90 raise a
heated debate in the chamber of deputies
as sequel to yesterdays stormy session
THE CORTES SUSPENDED.
The decree Of the queen regent, sus-
pending the cortes, was read in the
senate this evening. Prior to the read
ing Of the decree in the chamber of
deputies, which was crowded, as were
also the galleries, Senior Salmeron, the
Republican leader, declared that some
of his remarks had been omitted from
the official report of yesterdays pro-
ceedings. The president of the cham
Der, Marquis Vega d'Armijo, said the
omission must be attributed to the up
/ roar, which had probably prevented
the reporters from hearing him.
Senior Salmeron then said he wished
to have included in the official report
his declarations placing the response
bility for all the misfortunes of the
country.
Senior Sagasta at this moment arose
and read the royal decree assembling
parliament. The chamber then adj
journed, and without the customary
cheers TO the throne.

THIRD MANILA EXPEDITION.
Will Take Six Thousand More Troops
For Dewey.

San Francisco. June 24-Arrange-
ments for the sailing of the next expe-
dition OF troops for Manila are prac-
tically complete, and while every effort
will be made to- start on Monday, the
probability is that there will be some
delay. Major General Merritt has left
the matter of embarkation to the con-
troll of General Otis. 1t is very prob
able that the majority of the soldiers
will not embark until Monday morning,
though some have been ordered to en-
bark on Sunday.
The whole quota of troops, including
those who are to go ON the Newport
with General Merritt sn Wednesday, as
we'll as those that have been assigned
to the five transports scheduled to sail
on Monday, numbers roughly 5000 men,
The troops for the Newport have not
yet been officially announced, but. it is
generally understood that batteries H

O'Hara and Captain Hobbs, and the
Astor battery will have the honor of

fenced road was awful, and especially to
heavily-accoutred men, and the path was
lined with packets. Their shirts were
discarded by hundreds as well as blankets

Honolulu, June II (via San Francisco,
June "a, per steamer Peru).-The
United States steamer Mohican arrived
from San Francisco on the evening Of
the 18th. The voyage down was I'M
eventful. The United States steamer
Bennington left for Mare Island yes
terday morning, carrying the heaviest
mail ever sent from this port.
Orders have been issued requiring all
members of the Hawaiian national
guard, active and honorary, to report
Immediately to their respective COM
handing officers the amount and char
acter of any and all equipment in their
possession. The movement probably
prefaces the placing Of the guard on a
war footing as d precaution against
any emergency. If advisable most of
the companies will recruit to their full
limit of 103 officers and men. 1t is be-
lieved that in the event of annexation
the local regiment will at once be hur-
ried to Manila.
The government here received cheer
ing news by the Mohican. Minister
Hatch wired from Washington that
Speaker Reed had withdrawn all OPP
position and that vote on annexation
would be taken in the house as soon
as the senate disposed of the war tariff
bill. The present session of the Ha-
waiian legislature will probably be ex-
tended to ratify any annexation prop
osition which may come from the
United States congress.
James M. King, who has been min
lister of the interior since the inception
Of the present government, may be
forced to resign on account of illness.
His successor will probably be L. A.
Thurston, who is now in Washington.
The United States government has
awarded a contract for the erection of
a new coal shed at this port, at a cost
of nearly $4,000.
On the 10th Consul General Haywood
had but 1000 tons of coal on hand On
the same day he purchased $500 adj
dftional tons from a local steamship
company. The United States govern
ment has 1000 tons afloat for this port.

UNDER THE SECOND CALL.
Formation of the New Organizations
Is Well Under Way.

Washington, June A.-Reports received
at the adiutant generals Office of the
war department show that the formation
of the new organization of regiments, bat
talions, etc. under the presidents second
call for troops by the mastering in of
volunteers, is now fairly under way. In
most of the states the probability is all
the men necessary for the new Organiza-
lions should be obtained in two or three
weeks from the present time, when the
regiments and battaliOns will be ready
for orders from the commanding general
of the army. The rehdezvousing points
in the states have been designated by the
governors, and it is understood here that
they will be the same as for the troops
raised under the first call for 900 men.
At thu same time, the recruiting for fill
ing existing organizations to their maxi
mum strength is progressing rapidly. and
daily attachments are being sent TO the
mODilZing points.

foresight of Surgeon General Stern
berg of the army. the troops which
have gone to Santiago. as well as the
insurgents who may join the army, will
be well supplied with quinine, so
necessary to health in tropical climates
The United States army is equipped
with three months supply of medicines.
and of this quinine forms good share
In addition to the supply already on
the ships the hospital vessel Relief will
take to Santiago 100000 quinine pills
which the general believes will last the
army a reasonable time.

Interesting Evidence Concerning Du
Bose and .Carranza.

Montreal, June 24.-The case of De-
tective Keliert against Seniors Du Bose
and Carranza has come before Judge
Delamare for a hearing on its merits
There was rather interesting evidence
introduced. Mr.. Hertz, one of the
leading witnesses for the Bank of Mon
treal, testified that Du Bose had had
an account with the bank but that it
was closed on June last. when he
had been given an accepted check for
S13, 745.13. AS far as witness knew the
check was still outstanding, not hav-
ing been presented to the bank for pay
ment, though the bank considered that
the amount had been paid the moment
the check had been given. Senior Du
Bose, who was examined at length, de-
clined to say, unless ordered by the
court, what had become Of the check
referred TO, or whether it was still in
his possession. Lieutenant CarranZa
testified that he had at present no in
tention of leaving Canada, though he
might do so whenever he felt inclined,
as there was nothing to keep him here.
