Santiago has been planning.

Santiago has been planning.
Schlcy, with sufficient but not power
fnl squadron, was stationed at Santiago
to prevent Cervera from escaping or sup
plies from getting in to him, it being
known at Washington from secret
sources that supplies of coal and provls-
ions were on the way to him there.
Schley's orders were substantially
these.
Not to try to take Santiago or to reduce
the Notifications.
Not to engage Cervera, if he should
try to escape, until he was clear OF as
sistance from the guns OF the forts.
Not to let him escape or let supplies
or reinforcements get in to him from the
sea.
Not to let the Spaniards make any re-
pairs or additions to the fortificaitons at
the mouth Of the harbor.
Ever since the tiasco at San Juan
OF which the last has not yet been
heard, by the way--the Administration
has been most anxious that there shall
be no more half-baked bol,bardments to
be heralded abroad as repulses and Span
sh victories.
Indeed, SO anxious was the Admins
tration, that it gave schley a fleet only
strong enough to tempt him, no matter
how provoking the circumstances, into
trying to initiate Dewey.
While Schley's squadron as it stands
is perhaps strong en' 5ht' force he
harbor and capture Cervera, still e
would.no think Of attempting it. The
Administration Intends to capture
Santiago shortly, but the sea assault will
be made by all OF our battleships, new
monitors and heavy cruisers, the itel
being that it is folly to take chances OF
partial failure when with ships that are
available and are not in the least needed
elsewhere the sea attack can be made an
assured triumphant success. The land
attack will be made at the same time.
The Americans will be aided by the in
surgents, who are gathering in force
near Santiago and are in daily or rather
nightly, communication with Schley.

PHYSICIAN IN TROUBLE.
A Former WilminetOnian Committed
to Jail in Philadelphia On
SeriOuS CharDa

Dr. James Z. Pickels, who several
years ago condut ted china store in this
city, but now of No. 626 North Teeth
street, Philadelphia, was on Wednesday
committed to Moyamensing prison by
Coroner Ashbridge to await the action of
the grand jury on the verdict of the cor
oner's jury holding him responsible for
a criminal operation in the case of the
prematurely born child OF Elva Ander-
son, of Seventh and Wallace streets.
The case was probably the most sen.
sational that has been tried in the cor
oner's court for some time. The evidence
at times was almost startling, and when
between sobs and fainting spells Miss
Anderson, who had to be carried to and
from the sta.d, SO weak and prostrated
was she, told her pitiful story, the scene
was most dramatic. She positively
identified DR.. Pickles MS the man who
had performed the criminal operation
upon her.
A fainting spell abruptly ended her
testimony, and it was necessary to carry
her out of the court room and hurry her
return to the hospital. The prisoner was
then committed.
The doctor has been before the public
on former occasion when suit was in
stituted against him in a divorce suit
and sued for $50, 900 damages by prom
inent resident of Philadelphia for alien
ating his wile's affections.

W. I. Fisher, ColOred, Sentenced

Chief Justice Lore Names Friday,
October 7, as the Day.
Albert Trusty Released From New
Castle Jail-.-WilIiam Brown Loses
His Suit Against the Rail-
way Company-'Foster to
be Released.
HIS COUNSEL MAKES APPEAL

AT noon yesterday in the Court of
Oyer and Terminer, Chief Justice Lore
sentenced William J. Fisher, colored, to
be hanged. Fisher, who is mission
ary' was recently convicted OF breaking
into and entering the house Of Mrs.
Maria Hunt, this city, with the inten-
tion Of committing felonious assault.
The crime which will result in bis
death was committed between II and IL
O'Clock on the night Of April 18th of the
present year.
Fisher entered the court room at II. As
o'clock, and in few minutes Attorney
General White moved that sentence be
imposed.
After reviewing Fishers crime, Chief
Justice Lore told him that he had been
given fair trial, that the jury had found
him guilty and, with that verdict, recon-
mended him to the mercy of the court.
The Chief Justice stated that the only
mercy the court could exercise was the
postponement Of the time OF execution.
Fisher was asked whether he had any
thing to say, and his counsel, j. 2.
Nieds. replied in the negative. The
court then ordered that the prisoner be
taken to the New Castle Jail, detained
there until Friday, October 7th next and
on that day, between the hours of 10 a.
IN. and 4 p. M, be hanged by the neck
until dead.
While the sentence was being pro-
nounced, Fisher was slightly nervous.
Mr.. Nields, his counsel, appealed the
case to the Supreme Court, which will
convene at Dover on June Dist. He was
given until next Monday for citing his
exceptions to the trial.
The encouragement entered a nolle
prosequi in the case of Albert Trusty,
colored, indicted for numbering Fannie
Kelley, colored, in which case the
jury disagreed. Mr.. White stated that
he considered this to be the proper
course, and the court commended his
action.
Trusty was released from the New
Castle Jail yesterday afternoon at
o'clock and at once proceeded to this
city.
Court then adj urned until Monday
next ut 10 a. nj.

;pecial Dispatch to THE Sun.

Special Dispatch to THE Sun.
WASHINGTON. June 2.-Something i'm
portant is in the wind. The movement
of troops is evidence of this, and there is
little doubt that soon, if they have not
already, some Of these troops will be en-
barked for Santiago de Cuba or that
vicinity, to cooperate with the navy in
reducing that place.
Capture of the Spanish Cape Verde
fleet is the object sought in planning
this movement and this will necessitate
the landing OF a large force OF men near
Santiago at some point where they can
march to the high hills surrounding the
city, from which advantageous positions
they will be able to command the harbor
from the land, while our ships will com.
lnand it from the sea.
About twenty miles to the astward of
Santiago rs Berraco Point, on the coast
an easily made landmark, being in the
shape of a conspicuous round hill. The
coast at this point is clear OF all danger
and may be approached without hesi-
tancy to within the distance OF mile.

is expressed in the Navy Department
that no communication from Commodore
Schley had been received today. 1t was
expected by the Department when the
first newspaper reports came of an en-
gagement between Commodore Schley's
fleet and the notifications of Santiago
that report from the Commodore would
be received Immediately. AS was stated
in these dispatches, the Department
doubted there having been general en-
gagement, but expected that Commodore
Schley would report at once whatever
had happened. Hourly since then
dispatches have been looked for. The
circumstantial newspaper stories OF the
engagement have convinced the officials
that the attack occurred, and there is
much speculation as to the reason for
the silence on Commodore Schley's part.
The statement in this mornings news
paper dispatches that Commodore
Schley's fleet was drawn up Tor another
engagement is regarded by some as af-
fording hint as to the reason, A theory
advanced is that the attack is to be con-
tinued and that Commodore Schley
waited to complete his operation before
making his report to the Department,
since the use OF his dispatch boat to
communicate the first incident would
deprive him Of facilities and delay in the
Transmission in tt later and more i'm.
portant dispatches.
The indications seem to point to seri.
Gus engagement which may already be
taking place, Admiral Sampson being
present, and the insurgents participating
by land attack on Santiago.
These movements are all contrary to
the general expectation Of the Depart.
ment, and it is assumed that, if they are
taking place, they are due to information
in the possession OF Sampson and Schley
as to the movements of the insurgents,
which render the attack by the fleet op'

On to Cuban Shores.

Special DisI atch to THE SUN.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-The first part
of the expedition to Santiago de Cuba
has left the Florida coast.
The transport vessels bearing the ex-
p3dition left Tampa at least twenty-four
hours ago, and although the Government
officers in Washington will say nothing
on the subject, it is presumed that the
transports are lying off Key West await
ing the second detachment Of the expe.
dition to the southern coast of Cuba.
The detachment consisted of a .battal-
ion of engineers, the siege guns to be
usedin occupying tie hills around Santi-
ago, the field trains, and, is believed, a
few iniantrymen.
1t is not certain that the expedition
will await the arrival OF the second de.
tachment. 1t may proceed directly to
Slntia o, relying on the vessels Of Com
modore Schley's fleet to afford protection
for landing. The storming of the forts
two days ago was doubtlessly pre-.
liminary to the landing OF military
forces.
