New York, June 2O.-A special from
Mole St. Nicholas, Haiti, says
General Skaters army Of 1900 men,
on forty transports. has arrived off Santi.
ago and Guantanamo. The landing OF
the troops will probably be accomplished
today.
There will be no wild rush to get
ashore until General Shafter has a con-
ference with Admiral Sampson and the
situation is thoroughly discussed. Samp-
son knows the possibilities better than
any one else, and the landing will be
done according to his information.
The first step was to reinforce the ma
rines at Camp McCalla. This has prob
ably already been done, and there are
now enough troops there to make the
camp secure against any kind of attack.
There will be no concerted move on
the city OF Santiago itself until late this
week. Heavy artillery and ammunition
have to be lauded and camps established.
The hundred other things preliminary to
fighting must be attended to- and they
take time. There may be slight skir-
mishes with the enemy when the troops
land but no serious engagement or battle
of any magnitude is expected until the
movement on Santiago is begun. Then
there will be hard fighting.

nation can sanction and none would be
guilty of. No people except such as were
capable of treacherously blowing up the
Maine and OF numbering women and
children and defenceless old men could
be guilty of such cruelty.
Spain will probably pay dearly for this
action, but the hearts of the brave men
are in agony at the thought of the gal
liant Hobson and his brave companions.
1t may easily be conceived that the
course of the Spanish government in re-
fusing their exchange infiicts upon them
the horrors of disease and hunger,
which may make it seem to them better
that they should have perished with the
sinking of the Merrimac.
If Admiral Sampson shells Moro
Castle and makes an immediate assault
upon Santiago these prisoners are sub
jected to all the danger from our fire
which is incurred by the enemy. Yet if
he fails to reduce Moro Castle and at
tacks Santiago by slow approaches he
will be tortured with the consciousness

torture could not be devised by savages
than this OF compelling our people to

men whom the whole nation proclaims

The nations of the world will condemn
Spain for forcing this matter, and she
cannot maintain her claim to be regarded
as one among civilized nations.
What can be done about it is difficult
10 determine. There is probably moth.

prayer behind each shot that it may not

TWO BODIES FOUND
Floating in Delaware River at New
Castle--One Unidentified as That
of George johnson.

The body of drowned man was found
floating down the western channel of the
Delaware river opposite Tasker's wharf,
New Castle, Yesterday morning about ii
o'clock by Michael Bishop, fisherman.
The body was towed ashore by Bishop
and mads fast to the wharf, and the
coroner notified. Deputy Coroner
Chandler responded, and together with
DR.. Stewart Of New Castle, made
thorough examination of the BODY for
any marks of violence.
Nothing to indicate foul play was
found, though one peculiar feature of
the body was that the neck was timber.
This would seem to indicate blow in
the region of the base of the brain though
no mark could be found.
In the dead mans pockets were found
a round piece OF iron about II inches in
diameter, a pair of gold trimmed glasses,
a pocketbook containing fifteen cents, q
new briar pipe and note dated from
Thurlow, Pa, and signed Galloway"
The man was apparently about As or so
years Of age, 5 feet 6 inches in height
and weighed about l50 pounds. He had
blue eyes, dark hair tinged with grey,
and heavy mustache and beard. Over
the left eye was an old scar.
When found the body had on dark
vest and pants and a new pair of Con-
gress CATERS.
No clue as to his identity was found
and the body, which had the appearance
OF having been in the water some DAYS,
was taken to Farnhurst and buried.
This is the second body that has been
found in the Delaware in two days in the
same vicinity
On Sunday last Joseph Brown. col
ored OF New Castle, found the body of
man floating in the river opposite that
city and brought ii ashore.
Deputy Coroner Chandler was notified
and examined the body. In the pockets
of the clothing was found photograph
Of two children, apparently about and
$ years OF age, also a paper of discharge
from the Greenwich hospital in the
name of Gustav Johans.
On his arm was tatooed the letters &c.
NJ. j., two figures with clasped hands
bn1 shield with two hearts. The body
was sent to Farnhurst and buried.
Yesterday it was recognized as the
body OF George johnson of Philadelphia,
by his wife.
He was drowned off of Il fruiting
schooner lying below the jetty. Pre-
inus to his leaving home johnson had
1d his wife an affectionate farewell, say
ng it would be Il long time before he
would see her again. How true his
words were the sequel above proved.

Passengers Frightened.

About 7.30 o'clock last evening as one
OF IL cars of the Wilmington City Rail-
way Company reached the intersection
Of Sixteenth and Market streets, the troll
ley pole jumped the wire and an instant
later had became entangled in the mass
of wires at that point.
Sparks appeared to encircle the car and
in few seconds it was vacant, every one
OF the frightened passengers having made
sudden exit to get out of harms way
and were standing on the pavement.
The pole was subsequently freed from
the wires and the car resumed the way
with very few OF the former occupants
on board.
