SMOKED IN THEIR NEW HOME.
Excelsior Club Occupies Its New
Quarters for the First Time.

The Excelsior club had it's opening
smoker at its new home, on North Wash
ington avenue, Thursday night. 1t was
a very informal affair, there being no
exercises or entertainment out of the
ordinary, the members simply getting
together to congratulate one another
on the completion of their handsome
new house.
Many friends of the members took
advantage of the opportunity to in
spect the house. 1t will be some weeks
yet before the furnishing is completed.
When it is there is to be a formal
opening, which is to be made a very
elaborate affair.

Reinforcements Had Not Arrived
when His Dispatch Was Sent
Washington, July 3.-While not pro-
life in his utterances Admiral Dewey
loses no opportunity to keep the navy
department informed Of the state of
affairs at Manila. A dispatch has just
been received, dated June n, stating
that conditions were practically UNI
changed, but without recording the ar
rival Of his reinforcements. He had
some other matters of interest to be
communicated. but they were not of a
character that could properly be
made public at this time. For one
thing, Admiral Dewey has been par
ticular to avoid committing his govern
ment to any particular line Of action
respecting the future of the Philip
pines or TO do anything that would m
barrass Gen. Merritt in framing a pol
icy to meet the ends OF the case when
he arrives. He has made no official
promises 10 the insurgent leader, tho
he has lost no opportunity to praise
his good policy and his accomplish

Washington, July 3. Just two
months after the battle Of Manila, ard
ON the first day OF the month, like that
glorious engagement. began the hrst
set battle of the war In this he,nis-
phere. What the result will be was
not known when the departments
closed. Never before since the declar-
alton of war has there been such a
feeling OF intense interest ana anxiety
manifested. The officials here are con
fident that they have done everything
possible TO strengthen Skaters hands
for the great conflict he is waging, ana
that they have an unlimited confidence
III his discretion, his bravery ana ms
energy. The attack several days De-
fore the public expected the battle IS
attributed 10 his energy as well as ms
Judgment, showing that in the present
light he found il necessary TO cross the
foe in detail, following Napoleons
favorite maxim, instead OF allowing
them TO consolidate and outnumber
him. AS the day wore along without
bringing any news the anxiety IN
creased and the question was IN every
ones mouth: why does he not re-
port?' Adjt. Gen. Corbin's response
was brief but pointed: HE Is fighting,
not writing" and this was accepted as
a likely and solid explanation. JUST
before 4 O'Clock came a brief dlspatch
from Playa del Este, the cable station
near Santiago. But ii was from an
engineer officer to Gen. Miles and
made no reference to the
Progress of the Battle

material and live stock. ON the whole
this very absence of official news was
regarded as rather a favorable indica-
ton. the reasoning being that the en-
gagement was but a heavy sklrmlsn,
and that our army was feeling the
enemy TO discover and strike at his
weak spot. 1t was nearly 8 o'clock
when the signal office received the
welcome news that the enemy was re-
treating. Gen. Miles wassof the opin-
ion that the action was in the nature
of a heavy skirmish all along the
American front, particularly on the
right, and that its main purpose was
to develop the strength of IA enemy
and. IL possible, learn the vulnerable
point along the Spanish front. This,
however, was based only On the lack
Of definite information, and Gen.
Miles felt that any hour might bring
word of a general engagement. Brig.
Gen. Stone was Inclined 10 believe
that after maintaining their stand the
Spaniards would retire during the
night. leaving the city evacuated. The
military authorities here are fully con-
sidering the chances of such a retreat
OF the Spanish army from Santiago,
and are endeavoring so to shape events
that Gen. Skaters forces will not
only take Santiago. but Will capture
1900 Spaniards before they get away
northward to effect a juncture with
Gen. pando.
