to Aust~ia had been instructed to seek the
good ofices of Austria in bringing forward
peace propositions. But, If this be true,
the Austrian minister, Mr.. Won Hengel-
muller, has not conveyed to the State De-
partment any indications that Austria is
ready to act. On the contrary, Mr.. Won
Hengelmuller does not appear to think that
his services will be required here in the
near future, as he leaves next Tuesday for
New London, Conn, to sing his official staff
for a summers vacatlYn
At the same time the prospects of peace
continue to be discussed in diplomatic cir
cies, and it is known that at least one of
the great powers of Europe stands ready to
act as peace mediator in case the United
States will make the suggestion that such
a movement would not meet with disfavor.
One of the most influential members of the
diplomatic corps, the ambassador of con-
tinental power said tonight concerning
peace possibilities: There will be no offer
of mediation from outside. Such a move
ment, if it comes at all, should come at the
suggestion of the United States that it
would be acceptable. Let your government
intimate that it would be willing to discuss
the terms on which peace could be restored
and 1 feel sure that at least one govern
ment of Europe will be ready to meet this
suggestion, and do its utmost in a spirit
friendly to both opposing nations, towards
putting an end to the present conflict and
bringing them together on a basis honor
able to BOTH Until that is done rest as
sured that these reports of peace offers are
not to be credited, for in the light of expe-
rience foreign governments will not invite
the United States to a course of action until
first assured that 1t is the course which this
country itself desires to have taken"
This view was repeated to the other mem
bers of the diplomatic corps and may be
taken as fairly rejecting the views enter
tanned by the foreign representatives here
With this hesitation on the part iof foreign
powers as to making the first overtures.

here would invite or entertain such over
lures. the chances of a peace settlement

DESPERATE FIGHT PROBABLE.
Santiago VIII BE Defended by $4,000
Spanish Soldiers.

Copyright, 1898. by the Associated Press)
OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA Thursday
afternoon, June 8, on board the Associated
Press Dispatch Boat Wanda, via Kingston,
jamaica, June 10, 1890 p. MIN Santiago
de Cuba there are now about 10000 Spanish
soldiers, chiefly infantry but with a fair
contingent of cavalry and field artillery,
drawn from the surrounding country. Dur
ing the daytime the cavalry skirmsh in
the vicinity of the city, returning at
few days the activity of the Span
iards has been particularly noticeable
Oxen trains have been making their way to
the batteries, detachments have been work
ing on emplacements and there have been
other signs showing that the Spaniards are
preparing desperate resistance. Some
guns from Admiral Cervera's ships may be
removed to the forts.
The insurgents, about 5000 strong, have
taken position on mountain to the west
ward Two thousand insurgents of this
mez now about $50 miles inland, is making
his way towards the coast Admiral Samp-
son is actively cooperating with the insur-
gents Yesterday General Miniet, of the in
surgent forces, and his staff went on board
the New York for a long consultation.
The naval officers have been doing splen-
did and daring work in carrying communi-
cations to the insurgents, landing arms and
making trips ashore for the purpose of
gaining information. Upon the gunboat
Suwanee and Vixen this work has chiefly
devolved. Lieutenant Sharp. of the Vixen,
and Lieutenant Commander Delehanty of
the Suwanee, have been daily intrusted
with important missions and have carried
them out successfully. The Vixen's work
has been chiefly confined to carrying mes
sages and fro. but the Suwanee has
been occupied in a more serious task This
little gunboat has landed 10000 rounds of
small arms ammunition. three hundred
Springfield rifles, one hundred carbnes, two
thousand machetes, with equipments and
provisions. These were handed over yester-
day "wednesday about fifteen miles west Of

1t was communicated to the Navy DEPART
ment and led to careful consideration.
little later came the reports from the ships
Off Florida that suspicious looking vessels
with military tops had been seen in the
offing. The reports were received with
some credulity but naval officers were dis
posed to dismiss them as myths They were
treated lightly and some officials smoke of
the matter as another case of the phantom
ship Flying Dutchman. But the better
advised ones, knowing of the reports as to
the sailing of Spanish ships from Barcelona
looked on the matter as one which should
not be dismissed too lightly. A single troop
transport, carrying no armor, might be at
the mercy of some stray Spanish ship, and
there was no purpose to hazard the lives of
l,5OO men on any of our ships, when reports
came from two widely separated sources,
one or them quite in detail, of the approach
of Spanish ships.
While 1t is inexpedient to give the exact
makeup of the convoy fleet, yet some gem
eral idea may be given of the war ships
which might be drawn on for this service.
There are a number of ships which have
been doing scout duty and others held in
reserve. while Commodore Watson's large
blockading fleet in front of Havana gives
another source from which the convoy fleet
can be made up. The fine auxiliary ships
like the Yale and Harvard, with the tor
pedo boats, could be used for scout duty
their swiftness permitting them to go far
ahead as pickets for the approaching fleet.
The smaller cruisers, gunboats and torpedo
boats are also available. Some of the ships
which could be used with the Indiana are
the Helena, Bancroft, Marietta Newport
Wilmington, Castine. Cincinnati, Detroit,
Montgomery. Annapolis, Vicksburg, Erics-
son, Dupont, Gushing and Foote AS stated,
there is no desire to give this as an exact
list of the convoy squadron, but it merely
indicates with what facility the naval au,
thorities can meet present conditions with

Santiago to some eight hundred insurgents
who came down to the beach, the main
body remaining in the mountains. The de-
barkation OF supplies was tedious, but un-
interrupted. The insurgents reported that
irregular engagements between their forces
and the Spanish cavalry were of daily oc-
currence. The Cubans were hard up for
supplies and ammunition and were over
joyed at the sight of the Suwanees cargo.
Some, almost ravenous. hacked at the slices
of bacon and ate raw beef They had been
living on lines, cocoanuts and sweet pota-
toes. Ensign Gilpin. of the Suwanee, went
ashore and accompanied the Cubans to
their temporary camp inland. where he
found ten or dozen wounded men badly
in need of surgical attention. Bandages for
them were sent from the Suwanee The
casualties were the results of a brush on
the previous night with Spanish cavalry.
To the correspondent of the Associated
Press on the dispatch boat Wanda, Ensign
Gilpin, describing his experience at the
camp. which is about ten miles inland, said:
Il found the insurgents rough looking and
mixed lot of boys and old men, rugged out
any way, carrying arms of all sorts, and all
anxious to borrow everything l had from
my blouse to my revolver Four Spanish
soldiers in uniform, carrying rifles, marched
into the camp while l was there and said
they wanted to join the insurgents. They
were enrolled but close watch was kept
on them, as they belong to the civil guard.
Cuban officer told me such additions were
not infrequent. The Spaniards had Mauser
rifles which were in fairly good condition"
Conservative authorities believe the United
States troops will have to carry out their
plan of campaign without placing much re-
lance upon the insurgents. Several plucky
young officers like Ensign Gilpin have made
trips ashore and taken observations Of the
interior harbor and the fortifications locat-
ing the exact positions of Admiral Cervera's
four ships. it is hardly likely, however,
that the Spanish admiral keeps them
moored at the same place both day and
night More than once the officers engaged
in this shore duty have had narrow escapes
from falling in with the enemy's cavalry

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 8, p.
m, on board the Associated Press dispatch
boat Wanda, via Kingston, Jamaica, June
10, 11:2O a. NIT is believed the navy will
follow the landing of troops by forcing the
passage of the narrow channel leading to
the harbor of Santiago de Cuba fishing up
the sunken mines and compelling Admiral
Cervera to make a stand If the destruc-
ton of the Spanish fleet is successfully car
ried out, it will end the vestige of Spanish
dominion in eastern Cuba. The harbor of
Guantanamo is completely. under the con-
troll of the American feet and the landing
of marines at that point is expected to oc-
cur simultaneously with the landing of
troops at Santiago de Cuba.

Alleged Spanish War Ships.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, June
II, ? a. ma dispatch just re-
ceived from Fort Monroe says:
sIntense excitement was caused at
Fort Monroe last night shortly
after 9 O'Clock by a dispatch re-
ceived from the signal station at
Cape Henry stating that Spanish
war ships were lurking in that vi
cinity. A little later a message
was received from Washington in
structing the commandant of the
fort to be on the alert.
''Reports as to the number of
ships seen conflict. A lieutenant
who was seen after midnight said
he had been informed that Span
ish battle ship, two cruisers and a
torpedo boat had been caught un-
der the search light at Cape Henry,
steaming from a northerly direc-
ton.
GAS soon as it was reported that
the enemy's war ships had been
sighted there was great activity at
the fort. The big searchlight be-
gan to sweep the bay and signals
were flashed to the cruiser Mime
apolis, auxiliary cruiser Dixie and
dynamite cruiser Buffalo, which
are anchored off Old Point.
Quarters were sounded and the
crews hastily prepared the ships
for action. The gunners took
positions at their posts, where
they are ordered TO remain during
the night. The ships search
lights were kept plying on the
waters.
SIN the fort ammunition was
hurried to the big guns and the
troops ordered to their posts.
Some of the officers were with
their families at the hotels, and
buglers were dispatched for them.
The men hurried out of the hotels
half dressed and hastened to the
fort. In the camp of the Mary
land troops orders were given for
the men to sleep in their clothes
with their guns close by"
A dispatch that came from
Washington stating that one of
the vessels seen was probably a
German freighter, had tendency
to allay the excitement among the
guests at the hotels, but the Off
GERS did not relax their vigilance.

Events of the Week Distinct Step
Towards American Success.

LONDON, June 1O.-The weekly papers,

the Hispano-American situation. re-
gard its events as a distinct step toward
Americas triumph. The Spectator, ex-
telling the feat of Lieutenant Hobson in
sinking the Merrimac, says: The feat is of
itself sufficient to indicate the certain re-
suit of war. You cannot beat a nation
whose officers and men are equally ready to
perish in forlorn hope if it only may ad-
vance a national object. As to the general
situation in Spain. there can be no doubt
that when the truth is realized Snd nothing
more can be hoped for from Cervera, Spain,
and especially southern Spain will explode
in a burst of revolutionary passion"

apparently at Manila resistance Is hopeless.
