MILES STARTS FOR SANTIAGO.
To Look Over Situation-No Intention
 to Share Shafter's Glory.

Washington, July 7.-General Miles, accompanied by the entire staff of army headquarters, left at 10:43 to- night for Charleston, s. C., where the party will embark for Santiago. The party consists of General Miles, Gener- al J. c. Gilmore, adjutant general of staff; General Royston, Coloned c. E. Greenleaf, surgeon: Lieutenant Colonels W. J. Clews, M. c. Maus, and A. S. Ro- tain H. M. Whitney Lieutenant Colonel Mincler and staff of headquarters come north to Charleston on the first steamer after the general and his staff arrive. It is expected that the party will be at Santiago the early part of next week.
 On the eve of his departure General Miles expressed satisfaction in starting to join the troops He spoke of the dIlIl lIlSy lLelu pooo- ed through recently and of those yet to come. The climate has operated severely against the general officers and General Miles feels that he too, is not entirely invulnerable in country of heat, swamps and disease. But he has strong physique, his muscles are as hard as iron and he goes expecting to stand a good deal of knock-about service. General Miles himself has no other purpose in going to Santiago than to look over the military situation and to strengthen the hand of Shafter There is no intention on his part to share the glory that Shafter has won or may win in this campaign. He will not relieve Shafter of his command un- less the latter's physical condition de- mands such action.

TRANSPORTS AT HONOLULU.
Given a Warm Reception-A Feast on
 the Executive Grounds.

Honolulu, June 29, via San Francisco, July 1.-The steamship China of the Manila transport fleet reached this port from San Francisco on the morning of the 23d, one day ahead of the other vessels of the fleet. The China steam ed ahead of the Zealandia, Colon and Senator in order to load coal and clear the wharf before the arrival of the other vessels. The big steamship re- ceived a warm welcome. There was large crowd of people on the wharf. The troops swarmed the decks and rig ging of the China. At o'clock the soldiers were allowed to go ashore and were marched to Waikiki, where every man took a sea bath. The men were then marched to town and at 2 o'clock they were provided with feast on the executive grounds. This functi )n was carried out precisely on the lines of the one of the first expedition\ Ladies waited on the tables. Officers were entertained at the military headquar- ters. There was an abundance of food dllu EtlItSHLIltulS 1OI every DOuy.
 At 6:30 o'clock of the same day the Zealandia, Colon and Senator were sighted. It was quite late when the vessels reached the harbor. Crowds on the wharf cheered the vessels as they entered port and tn men on the trans ports responded vigorously. By mid- night all anchored for the night. The men were landed the next day and were entertained by the citizens of Honolulu. The expedition sailed for Manila on the 24th.
 Sergeant George Geddes, Company A. First Nebraska infantry, died at sea aboard the Senator, June 21, of cere- bro-spinal meningitis. c. H. Fisk, a member of Company B, Nebraska Vol unteers, died here on the 18th. A com bination attack of typhoid fever and measles was the cause of death. The funeral took place from the Central Union church and was attended by the best people of the city. The United States steamship Monterey and the collier Brutus arrived from San Fran cisco on the 24th instant. The Mon-

Toral from Havana: "The Spaniard dies, but never surrenders." This statement is confirmed by the French cable operators, who have left San tiago. They told the writer of this dispatch that the cable was still work ing to Jamaica and that they connect ed it with the cable to Havana before leaving. This still gives General Blanco communication with Madrid, but cuts out Santiago.
 The desperate character of General Torals determination is apparent when it is known that the Spanish soldiers have less than a days ammunition re- maining. Had an assault all along the line been pushed on the second day of the lighting last week, as was contem- plated the night before, it is probable that Santiago would now be ours, A lack of ammunition places a time limit at least upon the enemys ability to hol dout. This lack applies to artillery and siege guns as well as to small arms. It is learned that the siege guns in the I.unnette are seven-inch instead of fiye-inch guns and that one of the batteries mounts two bronso guns of heavy calibre, one of which it is said now enfliates our first line of trenches occupied by the Sixth and Sixteenth infantry.

BROOKLYN HIT 45 TIMES.
Terrific Fire of the Spanish Vessels on
 Schley's Flagshtp.

[Copyrlght, 1898, The Associated Press
 Guantanamo, July 1, via Port Anto- nio, Jamaica per the Associated Press dispatch boat Dandy, July 6,via Kings ton, Jamaica, July 6, z p. m.-When the Spanish squadron left Santiago de Cuba it was with the intention to make for Cienfuegos, the nearest port, to se- cure coal and provisions. All the ships were very short of coal, the Cristobal Colon having only two days supply, which she had secured at Santiago. The Spaniards continued their fire on the Brooklyn, hoping to disable that vessel and thus give an opportunity for at least one or two of the Spanish boats to escape The Brooklyn was hit forty five times. The Spaniards estimate the force behind the Qualifications of San tiago de Cuba at above 11,000, includ- ing the 4,000 endorsements brought by General Pando. The body of G. H. El- lis, chief yoeman of the United States cruiser Brooklyn, who was killed in the engagement with the Spanish fleet yes- terday, was brought here to-day by the Brooklyn and was buried at dusk where the bodies of the three marines killed at the battle of Cusco mountain are lying.

MOVEMENT AGAINST SPAIN
SAMPSON ORDERED TO DET1 GIT
 SHIPS FOR EASTERN SQU4DRoN.
Watson to Proceed Immediately on Ills Mission With Powerful Collection of Vessels Including Buttleships Iowa and OregOn-Ships to Mako Main
 Rendezvous Near Spanish Coast, the Port to be Designated in Sealed Orders.

Washington, July 7.-The president called council of war to-day to meet at the White house, the purpose being to review the situation and learn eX- actly what present conditions are and what changes, if any should be made in the plans for the conduct of the war. According to one of the members pres ent, it was decided to abide by the plans already laid, at least as to the general conduct of the campaign. Con- firmation seemed to have been given to this statement later in the day, when Secretary Leng officially announced that he had cabled to Admiral Sampson ordering him to detach from his own command immediately the vessels to be embraced in Commodore Watson's eastern squadron and to direct the com modore to proceed on his mission.
 The vessels of the squadron will not be the same as those originally selected, for the reason probably that the recent engagement with Cervera's squadron necessitated some changes. The new eastern squadron will consist of the battleships Iowa and Oregon, the pro- tected cruiser Newark and the auxiliary cruisers (carrying side armor) Yankee, Dixie and Yosemite, the colliers Aver end, Cassius, Caesar Leonidas and Jus tin, and the supply boat Delmonico. The Iowa, Oregon, Newark and To- semitic are all in the south with Samp- son. The Dixie and Yankee are at New York. The colliers are at Hampton Roads with the Delmonieo. The ships are to set sail as soon as they can coal and supply.
 The order provides that each ship shall make her way across the Atlantic to a marine rendezvous which will be designated in sealed orders and which will be at some point off the Spanish coast. The gathering of the Americans off the Spanish ports Is expected to have a sobering effect upon the infiam-
 ed people. The number of colliers ac- companying the expedition Is evidence that long cruise lies ahead. A tele- gram received at the state department this afternoon announced that Camara
 was still lying with his squadron at SueZ the eastern entrance to the canal. The torpedo boats Osada, Proserpina and Audaz, which were yesterday re- ported at Pharo, Portugal, arrived to- day at Cadiz, their home port. Ad- miral Dewey has been notified of all | these movements.

Looking to the investigation,

Halifax, N. S., July 7.-Everybody looks forward to the government in- quiry into the loss of La Bourgogne to be held here on Tuesday with profound interest and suppressed excitement Much indignation is expressed that the surviving passengers and crew were rushed out of the city. Many written statements were secured and will be presented at the inquiry. The officers of the Cromartyshire have been sub poenaed. An effort may be made to ap- prehend the survivors at Boston. Strange tales which amount to murder are in everybodys mouth and people are amazed that the witnesses were all lowed to leave the city.

NAVY PREP4RING FOR 4 HUNT
Spanish War Craft in West Indies to be
 AnnihtInfen.

Washington, July 1.-The navy is preparing for a grand hunt throughout the West Indies. There are a number of Spanish war craft left, scattered through coves on the Cuban coast and lying in obscure little harbors in the West Indian islands. These are to be hunted down and captured or destroy ed and the movement is to begin im- mediately for until the gulf and the Carribean sea have been cleared of these little craft, no troop transports can be said to be entirely safe while passing between the United States and Cuba. Many of the little boats have been spotted already and the others will be located soon by the aid of swift little torpedo boats and auxiliary craft. It was with this object in view that the recently constructed torpedo boats Gwyn, Morrison and others were ordered from the north to Florida Wa ters.

NIcARAGUAN CANAL SCHEME.
Senator Morgan to Push His BilI-An
 Attnck by Senator Turpte.

Washington, July I'm the senate to-day MT. Morgan announced that he proposed to try to get up his bill for the construction of the Nicaraguan canal by the United States before final adjournment. MT. Turpie of Indiana sharply opposed the idea suggested by MT. Morgan. He maintained that the opponents of the bill had right to be heard briefly. The suggestion of MT. Morgan, he thought, was premature, as the report of the existing canal com mission had not been filed. He spoke of the effect of the clear, beautiful and placid waters of Lake Nicaragua on barnacle laden ships, the water soon clearing the vessels of the barnacles. He then likened the Maritime Canal company to barnacle which had at tached itself to the canal scheme. "One enterprise" said he, lis the Maritime Canal company. It Is the barnacle which has attached itself to the keel, and sides of the canal project. The canal project has been him. dered and retarded and delayed by the Maritime Canal company and I regret that even the name of the company is in the bill pending. That name IS thoroughly odious in every market in the world I know of no name so dis tasteful or so odious as that of the Maritime Canal company, except that of the Panama Canal company, of the Isthmus of Darien.'
 Late this afternoon bill conferring upon Adjutant General Corbin the rank, pay and allowance of a major general, was passed When unanimous consent was asked by MT. Sewell for consideration of the bill, Mr. Pettus objected. However, by a vote, the sen ate decided to consider the bill. MT. Pettus sharply criticised the measure and charged that General Corbin had been rapidly promoted by reason of favoritism. This charge brought sever- al senators to their feet, including Messrs. Bate, Pasco and Bacon all of whom testified to General Corbin's dis tinguished ability and special fitness for the position he occupies. MT. Sew elI MT Hale and Mir. Foraker paid high tributes to General Corbin, warm ly euiogizing him for the splendid rec
 ord he has made, both on the field of battle and in the position he now holds. There was no division on the vote by which the resolution was passed.

 Key West, Fla, July 1.-The small Spanish schooner Gallito, loaded with provisions of various kinds, has been captured by the gunboat Eagle and ture was effected on Tuesday last east of Cape Pope, Isle of Pines. The Eagle was on the blockading route in the vii cinity of the Isle of Pines on the south Cuban coast and was keeping vigil Tuesday, while moving westward from Rosario Key to Cape Francis, she sighted the Gallito about five miles out She immediately gave chase and the schooner ran in under about a quarter of mile from the shore, when she dropped her anchor and those aboard slipped over her side and swan ashore Ensign J. H. Roys and crew of eight men from the Eagle were sent in small boat to board the schooner. They found her deserted, and while eXamin- ing her they were fired upon by her crew from the beach. Several rifle shots went through the schooners sails, but no one was injured. The Eagle drew closer in and sent half dozen shots from her six-pounders toward the beach, whereupon the Spaniards disap- peared. A prize crew was put aboard the Gallito and she was brought here.

HA WAIIAN ISLANDS ANNEXED. President Mckinley AfIixes His Sigma.
 ture to the Resolutions.

Washington, July 7.-It was by cer- emony of the simplest character that the resolutions annexing the Hawaiian islands to the United States this even ing were enacted finally into law. It occurred in the cabinet room of the ex- ecutive mansion and only six persons besides President Mckinley were pres ent. At twenty minutes before sevan o'clock Alonzo H. Stewart, assistant doorkeeper of the senate, arrived at the White house with the engrossed copy of the resolutions signed by Speaker Pro Tenn. Payne and Vice President Hobart. George B. Corteliou, assistant secretary to the president, receipted for the resolutions in the usual form, and then notified thS president that they had arrived. The president said simply that he would sign the resolutions fm- mediately and 8 few minutes later a lit- tie group were gathered about the cabi- net table to witness the completion of this important legislation.
 Those who comprised the group were MT. Mckinley, Secretary Corteliou, MT. Stewart, Captain B. F. Montgomery of the signal corps, who is in charge of the war room at the White house; Cap- tain Charles Leff1er, the presidents con- fidential messenger, and George B. Frease postmaster at Canton, Ohio, the presidents home city. Precisely at o'clock the president affixed to the res- olution these words, which made them into law:
 Approved July 2, 1898, William McKin- ley"
 Before retiring from the table Presi- dent Mckinley also approved the gem eral deficiency bill, the last of the great appropriation measures passed by the present congress. The president pre- scented to Mir Stewart the pen with which he had signed the Hawaiian res- olutions, and it will be preserved by him as a souvenir of an act that will make history for the United States. Orders were given during the day to start the Philadelphia for Hawaii, car- rying Admiral Miller with directions to Minister Sewell to take formal possess sion of the islands in the name of the United States. The Hawaiian legation has taken steps to get the earliest news to Honolulu through telegrams to the Hawaiian consul at San Francisco, who will dispatch them on the Coptic to- day.
