SCARCITY OF FLAGS,
And Factories Unable to Supply the
War Demand.


New York Sun: The war department
is unable to get flags enough for its
use, as there is a scarcity of bunting.
There are only two factories in the
country, and, although they are work
iEg day and night with largely aug
mented forces of men, they are getting
behind in their orders more and more.
AS a result of the demand. prices have
gone up, and the 4 by s flag, somewhat
similar to the army storm flag, which
formerly was sold for $3.75. now finds
ready purchasers at $3.50. and prices
have risen on other sizes in proportion.
The navy department has its own flags
made at q factory in the Brooklyn navy
yard. and, consequently, does not suffer
as the war office does.
The primal reason for the scarcity
of bunting is that when hostilitieS be-
came imminent, General Greedy, chief
of the signal service, bought UP about
all the flags he could get hold of, and
gave orders to such an extent as to
cripple the means of supply for private
purchasers. High-price silk flags are
about the only ones available. 1t is
calculated that since the blowing up
of the Maine, with the consequent out
burst of popular feeling. at least TO-
COG, 900 flags have been sold, and this
leaves the trade high ard dry, so far
as stock is concerned

RANGE OF SIMPSONS GUNS.
Could Shell Santiago From Outside
the Harbor

Washington, July 9.-Attention has
been directed to the range of the guns
on our warships, for on this depends
whether the bombardment Will be
confined to the outer forts or whether
it will be effective on Santiago itself.
There are five battleships and two ar
mored cruisers, besides the lesser ships
to open this fire, namely, the battle
ships Iowa, Indiana, Massachusetts,,
Oregon, Texas and armored cruisers
New York and Brooklyn.
The Oregon and Iowa are to be
rushed with the eastern squadron to
the coast of Spain, and therefore may
not take part in the bombardment. The
three battleships and two armored
cruisers combined have 26 huge 13-inch,
12-inch and S-inch guns, which have
range of ten or eleven miles, on an
acute elevation and a range of over
six miles on the elevation which can
be given in turrets. This is an eleva-
ton which can clear MORO castle and
the harbor batteries and can about
reach the city of Santiago. The max
imum elevation on ShipboGrd is II de-
grees, which limits the full range of
the heavy guns about one-half. 1t is
only the large guns above mentioned
that have range which could get
anywhere near the city, as the six
Founders and under have a range of
not over three or four miles, while the
gatling guns are for close range, US
ually not exceeding 1000 yards.
Naval experts say that the lombard
ment will be confined mainly to the
forts and batteries, for while the big
guns can about reach Santiago, when
the ships are standing off a mile or so
from the harbor, yet the most effective
work can be done against Moro, Cayo
Smith, the Socapa and other fortifca-
tons leading up to the city. Once these
are reduced, the way is clear to San
tiago

FOOD FOR NoN-CoMBATANTs.
Serious Problem With Which Shafter
Has to Deal.

Washington, July 9.-Lively interest
is taken by the war department Off
Gals in the reports regarding the large
number of refugees who have fed in
panic from Santiago to avoid the hor-
rors of war. Many of these people, nom
combatants, have looked to General
Shafter for assistance. which may
make a severe drain on the commiSsary
branch of the expedition. Especially
is this so in view of the great diff
Guilty experienced by the general in
getting his supplies from the transports
there. If the city of Santiago holds
out for a long time and Shafter has
the non combatants on his hands to
feed, the question of their sustenance
may become a serious coEunGrum for
the government. General Snafter has
authority to issue rations to the hun
cry people, and ne undoubtedly will
do so TO the greatest extent without
impairing his own resources. He has
full discretion to act in the matter
and will do his utmost to relieve any
suffering that may exist. For the time
being he has all the stores necessary at
his command, and enough TO deal out
some supplies to the Cubans, as Gen.
eral Egan of the cOmmiSSary depart
ment shipped a great quantity on the
transports. In addition to those all
ready there, the transport Victor is
about 10 leave New York with a great
cargo of all kinds Of eatable merchan-
disc, to be followed soon thereafter by
the Mohawk and Mississippi with
stores of refrigerated beef and fresh
vegetables

ARMY OPPOSED TO PEACE.
VIII Fight the Government If It
Cannot Fight Americans.

London, July 1O.-The Madrid CORES
pondent Of the Observer says: The
army is the obstacle of peace. 1t is I'M
willing to yield without further fight
Ing. General Blanco and the other
military leaders are ashamed TO ask
Tor peace without testing their fighting
capabilities with the Americans. If
they are deprived Of the opportunity
they viii rise and fight in Spain against
the government and in Cuba on their
own account against the invaders. This
is the explanation OF the perpleXity,
and irresolution of the government.
In today's council, three different
views were advanced, Lieutenant Cen
eral CGrrea, minister for war, favoring
war to the end: Duke Almodevar de
Rio, the foreign minister, supporting
the opening of peace negotiations with
the concurrence of the powers, and
Senior Gamazo, minister Of public in
struction, proposing to treat for peace
directly with the United States.
The leaders of the army in Madrid
have held a meeting, but the resoiu-
tons adopted by them have not been
diYUlGed.

BARTLETT KEPT BUSY.
Navy Department Officer Will Com
mand the Auxillery Fleet.

Washington, July 9.-Captain John r.
Bartlett has been ordered by Secretary
Long to take command of the auxiliary
feet of the United States. Captain
Bartlett relieves Admiral Erben, at
present located at New York City. He
will transfer the headquarters of the
auxiliary feet to the navy department.
Captain Bartlett is at present in
charge of the navy intelligence bureau,
one of the most important functions
of the navy department at this time.
He also organized and directed the sig
nal system. which has proven to be so
valuable. In addition to these duties,
which he retains he assumes command
of a fleet of no less than SO vessels, so
that altogether Captain Bartlett has
one of the most extensive assignments
in the navy.

Through the courtesy of Rear Ad-
miral Sampson. Admiral Cervera was
enabled to communicate by wire with
Captain General Blanco at Havana,
saying: According to orders the fleet
sailed out from Santiago on the morn
ing of Sunday"
The imprisoned admiral then recites
the destruction that followed, and tells
of the courteous treatment he has re-
ceived at the hands of his captorS.
General Blanco, in reply, referred in
general terms to the will of providence.
It is not known with reasonable Ger
tainty that neither Pando nor any OF
his forces have reached Santiago.
