The Coast in the vicinity OF Guam
tanamo is dotted with the bright e
Cuban flags. Numerous camps Of the
insurgents which have been estap-
lished along the beach between Santi-
ago and this place are used by he adj
miral as means of communication with
the Cubans in the interior. The aid
which these men have given has proved
highly valuable To the Americans.
Their stories Of the restitution and re-
volt among the Spanish soldiers in this
vicinity have been corroborated by in
teryiews by prisoners captured around
the camp.
General Pereio, who is in command
OF the Spanish forces here, is undoubt-
edly desperate in regard TO gaining

SUBURBAN DAY AT CONEY ISLAND
Big Race Takes Place his After
noon With Ornament a Great
Enypritc.

New York, June 1S.-This is subur-
ban day and the Coney Island Jockey
club at Sh%eepshead bay could not have
been favored with better weather for
the opening of their track.
AS usual on suburban day the horses
engaged had little to do this morning,
and their final preparation for the big
race consisted of a light gallop around
the course, with a pipe opener through
the stretch. Before Q o'clock they
were safely bestowed in their boxes to
wait seven hours before being called
to the paddock to be saddled. Or
course, there was the usual gathering
of trainers and race track hangers on
rbout the stand after the exercise was
over, and while nearly every horse In
The race had at least one partisan,
there could be no question as to the
fayorite. The winner Of the Brooklyn
handicap, Ornament, was the first
choice of almost everybody. He won
handy and then against about the
same horses, and while he will have TO
rarry 49, pounds as a penalty for that
win, few were inclined TO say that
they thought hat would stop him.
Ben Holiday was selected by many as
The horse mostly likely to get the Sec
ond place, although Imp Ogden, Don
de Orc, Scmper Ego and Royal Stag
had a lot of followers. In fact, out
side of Ornament, it was II difficult
matter t o find a general favorite for
second place. Peep O'Day was by no
means neglected in the selection, and
no one would hazard a bet as to the
winner if Ornament did not win, 50
open is the race after him.
Tillo first and the great Ornament
nowhere was the record of the subur-
ban of 1898. The favorite was badly
beaten, chiefly because the horses were
kept a full hour at the post. Tillo was
quickest on his feet and for an instant
he showed in front, but Clayton took
him back to fifth position. Royal Stag
came next, followed by Havoc, Ogden,
Don d'Oro, Ornament and the others.

D. B. HILL AGAIN ACTIVE.
Ex-senator May Demonstrate That
lie Is u New York
Leader.

New fork, June 21.-It becomes
more and more evident as the state
campaign for 1898 progresses that
David Bennett Hill proposes to test The
correctness Of Richard Cookers asser-
tons that Hill is no longer leader of
the democracy of New York. During
the past week, either at Wolfert'S
Roost or at his Broadway Office in Al
bany, the former senator has had con
f~erences with nearly a score Of lieuten-
ants trusted by him in many fights.
Chairman Danforth, of the state COM
mittee, who passed two days with cN-
Senator Hill in Albany, came back APP
parently more convinced than ever of
the advisability of calling the state
committee together July 20 and liking
on August 25 as the late and Saratoga
as the place for the convention.
While there is no disposition upon
the part of Hill and Danforth to un-
necessarily antagonize or incon-
venience Greater New York democrats,
they have together, it is understood,
made q pretty thorough canvass of the
members of the state committee and
found a majority in favor of the party
blazing the way ahead of the rivals de-
feated last November.
Ex-senator Hill is due here today to
urge Hugh Mclaughlin to call his con-
ventions very Dol If he succeeds in
inducing the Kings county leader to
do this it is his expectation that Tam
MANY will follow suit and that the pre-
liminary skirmish will thus be won.

PANDO AND CERvERA TO HANG,
They viii BE Held Personally Re-
sponsible For the Welfare of
HObson and Men.

Washington, June 21.-Admirai
Sampson and General Shafter will be
instructed to hold Admiral Cervera
and General Pando, in command at
Santiago, personally responsible for
The safety of Lieutenant Hobson and
his men.
If they are maltreated or killed by
the Spanish, then Cervera and General
Pando are to be hanged when they
fall into our hands, as eventually they
must.
President Mckinley and Secretary
Long are very much agitated over the
refusal to exchange, and they have de.
termined on drastic measures to save
the heroes of the Merrimac. 1t is prob
able that Cervera and Pando will he
notified by flag of truce before the bat
Tie begins that they are to be held
personally responsible for the prison
crs in their charge.
Orders to this effect will be sent to-
day, as the administration is thor
oughly aroused over the suspicious ac-
tons Of the Spaniards. Contradictory
reports are afloat in regard to eN-
change of the Mcrrimac prisoners.
1t is asserted that Captain General
Blanco has been authorized to exercise
his discretion in the matter, but at
the same time the government has
called his attention to the fact that
any movements for the purpose of et-
fecting the exchange at Santiago
might enlighten the enemy as to the
state of the defenScS.

SPANISH SOLDIERS IN BAD SHAPE
Their Hospital Service Is Wholly
Inadequate and to This Fact
Is Attributed the Great
Mortality.

New York, June 21.-A Times Wash
ington special says: The capture of
Santiago may turn out to be easier
than expected, but preparations have
been made upon the assumption that
the Spanish will make a resistance
equal TO that which would be made by
The same number OF American troops
holding a like position. But the Span
ish will be weaker than Shafter and
The fleet combined, while n late report
about the activity and efficiency OF the
insurgents lead the army men to hope
their assistance will be of some value.
While there is not much anxiety here
concerning Shafter and his army, there
is "A universal desire to hear of his ar
rival and of his successful landing.
The army and navy men agree in the
opinion that if the army reaches San
tiago or a point at which it is intended
to land il before Monday, or even Tues
day, it will have done very well.
General Shafter was rather expect
ed to run ahead Of the fleet and troops,
and then arrive at Santiago or Guam
ranamo somewhat before other YES
sells, taking the risk which is not re-
%arded as great, OF meeting with Span
ish cruisers. The assumption by ma
val officers is that any danger of that
kind would be greatly reduced by send
ing one Of the convoy vessels along
with the Seguranca as a guard for the
commanding general.
But an officer of the army who has
seen a great deal of service, and who
has q high opinion of the ability of the
United States army, expresses the
opinion that the campaign against
| Santiago will be a short one, and that
it will not be superior fighting ability
alone that will give victory to the men
under General Shafter. Although the
United States forces are not oil prop
crly clad, most Of the men have good
shoes, all have plenty Of food and they
have medical attention.
The ease is quite different with the
Spanish soldiers. Their commissaria
is bad. Except in garrisons unusually
well taken care Of the hospital service
is inadequate, and to that indifference
is to be attributed the great mortality
Of the Spanish troops.
The populace believe that Great Bri-
tain and the United States have united
i'm the blockade. Officers of her males
tvs steamship Talbot were said to have
obtained valuable information on the
condition of the garrison and reported
il to the United States admiral. They
1 believe Cervcra's fleet has been sunk
and that Santiago is at Simpsons
mercy.

The PRESIDENT MUCH PERPLEXED
Philippine Problems Is what Fur
nislles thc ESnCutivc's
ANXIETY.

Anxiety.
Washington, June 21.-In the deter
mination Of the insurgents Of the Phil.
ippines to form a republic, as stated
by us Saturday morning, the au-
thoritics see the prospect Of n new
complication arising out of the Amer
lean possession Of a white elephant"
Up TO the present it can be stated on
authority hat Aguinaldo, the insur-
gent leader, and the men under his
command have ~scrupulously observed
the instructions given them by Rear
true with reference to the proposition
TO seize the city OF Manila. Unless I'M
forcsceu circumstances should arise,
Manila will not be attacked by the in
surgents with a view to it's occupation
until the arrival of American troops
and Rear Admiral Dewey has informed
the navy department he is certain that
Aguinaldo will comply with the wishes
i'm this respect.
In restraining the insurgents Rear
Admiral Dewey is guided by Il desire to
avoid giving the Germans any oppor-
tunity = land a strong force Of blue
jackets and marines from their war
ships. This might be done should the
insurgents capture the city on the plea
that German subjects and German In
forests were i'm need Of protection
with n sufficiently strong force OF
American troops 10 preserve order in
the city after its capture there will be
- ... Pa. W., Nl,,tr,I hir1piHh
the German commander in chief, to
land Il force, and Rear Admiral Dewey
will plainly tell him, should he take
such action and retain Il guard ashore,
that the American troops are Sufficient
TO guard foreign interests and that u
foreign force is unnecessary.
The Philippines will be proclaimed
as a military possession Of the United
States as o as Manila is taken and
the backbone Of SPANS military power
I'm the far east thus broken, whether
the insurgents form a republic or not,
and the affairs of the islands will be
administered by Major General Mcr-
rift MS military governor. II is be-
lievcd I'm official circles that the Ger
mans, if they see any gain in it for
themselves will attempt 10 stir up the
insurgents against the Americans. IL
is possible therefore that a clash may
occur between the natives and General
Merritt should they establish a repub-
lie and attempt TO administer the af-
fairs Of the islands. 1t is hoped by the
officials that the insurgents will be sat
isfcd with the change in their status
and with the fair treatment they will
receive from the Americans, There is
no use %conccaling the fact that the adj
ministration is more worried over this
feature Of the general war situation
than any other.
