Secretary Long said: There is no sig
nificance in my visit to this city. I am
simply. on my way to bingham. Mass.
to attend to some private matters"
When asked what the ultimate destina-
ton of the Oregon and the Iowa were, he
said: ''These warships have been ordered
to Honolulu
''Nill they go from there to Manila?'
The secretary reflected a moment and
said: YES. they may go to Manila. You
see we robbed the Pacific squadron of
two vessels and it is NO more than just
that we return them after we have got
ten through with them.
In talking on the subject of the new
vessels. he said: Congress at it's next
session may see the advisability of an In
crease in the number of war vessels The
three that have been awarded to Cramps,
the Norfolk yard and the Union Iron
Works of San Francisco. will be formi-
dable vessels. They will have an in

passed during the day being the immedi-
ate cause of the attack.
Gen. Haskell commanded the 18th In
fantry at the battle OF El Caney and
was wounded In the left shoulder and
knee. He came home about a month
ago and was rapidly recovering. The
wounds in his shoulder. however. had
paralyzed his left arm.
This morning. the 18th Regiment re-
turned home. and Gen. Haskell went to
the depot In n carriage to welcome his
men. He rode at the head of the regi-
ment through the city to the post, and
the cheers of the immense crowds that
lined the streets were directed almost as
much to him as to the regiment At the
reviewing stand the crowd surrounded
the carriage and flowers were fairly
shnSvered into the vehicle from every
side.
At 40 this afternoon. Capt. Clay called
at Gen. Haskelis residence to pay his
respects. The general was resting at the
time but came down stairs. They had
been engaged in conversation about five
minutes. when Gen. Haskell suddenly
started to his feet. clasped his hands to
his head and then fell to the floor. The
only exclamation he made was ''Oh. Oh. ;"

and was surprised to find that his pulse
had ceased to beat. Post Surgeon Pitcher

San Juan de Porto, Rico, Sept. 49,
The details of the evacuation of the
island were practically completed at a
meeting OF the commission held, today
and all now depends upon when the
Madrid government, shall place trans
ports at the disposal OF Capt. Gen.
Macias for the embarka ton OF the
troops. Failure to send transports will
embarrass the Spanish commissioners
but the American commissioners will
probably not set an absolute time limit
for the, evacuation without instructions
from Washington.
The Spandards do not desire to con-
centrate all their troops here, for fear
OF endangering their health, until they
are informed when the transports will
arrive. In addition to Lares. Aguadilla
